Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 147: At the Beginning of the Rebellion, Suppressing the Disobedient

Seeing the golden dragon crushing and killing a drow matriarch on the spot, all the clan leaders chose to remain silent, even though no one knew of Noah's noble bloodline as an ancestor - because none of them had ever seen a golden dragon, and their knowledge of golden dragons was limited to rumors, and of course they did not know their ancestor.

The overwhelming combat power displayed by the Golden Dragon now is consistent with their understanding of the Golden Dragon. The only discrepancy is that the killing process of this Golden Dragon is too cruel, which is slightly inconsistent with the rumors.

However, considering the target, it is understandable, because the legendary golden dragon is a kind of dragon that hates evil and shows no mercy to evil.

In other words, the golden dragon in front of them declared that it would kill them all, not to scare them, but it really had such intention.

They were already on the enemy's territory. Just look at the drow mistress whose life-saving methods had all failed and who could only wait to die. If they fought against the golden dragon in the Mage City, they would only be used as meat targets and crushed to death one after another.

Who can fight against such a dragon?
The Tauren Chieftain looked at the dragon's tail swaying not far in front of him, and silently calculated in his mind that the golden dragon that had just stood on the high platform looked slender and long, but when he got closer, he realized that even the most slender tail of the golden dragon was several times larger than his torso. If this tail came over, he felt that his fate might not be very good.

It's not that he hasn't seen a dragon before. As an elderly minotaur, he once encountered a dragon in the Underdark, a topaz dragon, but that topaz dragon was less than half the size of the dragon in front of him.

But even so, he didn't have the courage to challenge Huang Yulong back then, and he has even less courage now. Even though he is stronger now, the golden dragon in front of him is much stronger than the Huang Yulong he met back then.

Moreover, there are not only dragons here. The Minotaur glanced at both sides secretly. Iron golems with flashing secret patterns and flowing luster stood along the wall. Not to mention, there were cloud giants who were stronger than the golems in both size and presence, guarding on both sides.

These cloud giants, who are over twelve meters tall, are clad in magical armor and hold weapons taller than they are. It would be difficult to deal with them alone, but here, they appear in groups on a legion scale.

This is not the place for them to express their objections. The only thing they can do is to submit in the most humble manner.

"Why is no one speaking up? Or are you all willing to obey my management?"

Noah looked around the hall, weaving and weaving among dozens of Underdark clan leaders. His huge body made all the clan leaders choose to avoid him. No one dared to meet the golden dragon's gaze, and they all chose to bow their heads in obedience.

"The Black Horn Tribe is willing to obey your management!"

When the golden dragon looked over, the old minotaur answered loudly.

The situation of the tribe was already extremely bad. In order to pay the resource share required by the legendary wizard, young people of the tribe died tragically every year. The tribe could barely maintain its current size and was unable to expand, let alone become strong and prosperous.

Now, the ruler and manager has changed from a human wizard to a golden dragon. How bad can the situation get? We can't really kill them all? What's the point? They provide resources every year.

"Her tribe belongs to you now. You have the right to mobilize the surrounding tribes to encircle and suppress her tribe. Half of all the spoils obtained must be handed over to you, and your tribe can get 30%. The remaining spoils will be divided among the other tribes according to their participation!"

Noah showed his "generosity" to the first Tauren tribe that spoke clearly and expressed its willingness to obey his management. He gave them a sweet date and pointed to the ashes of the drow corpses that he had crushed to death.

Although Noah's distribution of the spoils of war sounded like oppression, with half of the spoils taken away without anyone going out, the Black Horn Tribe was still very happy about it.

Because Selena had oppressed and exploited them even more harshly before. Even if she was cleaning out some disobedient tribes, it would not bring any benefits to the participating tribes and clans, except that they would not lose money.

This legendary wizard equally exploited all the dark clans that surrendered to the Augustus family, without exception. All the tribes could only barely maintain their existence in the Underdark lands controlled by Augustus. As long as they obeyed the rule, they would not perish, but it would also be difficult for them to expand and become powerful.

Now it seems that the rule of the golden dragon will be different from that of the legendary wizard. For some tribes, it may be an opportunity for the clan to rise.

The Black Horn Tribe surrendered first and gained some real benefits. Although the other tribes felt regretful and followed suit, they still got no share.

However, Noah planned to pick out one or two tribes that he liked and support them, and then use these tribes to manage and exploit the remaining tribes.

Agent System

When my foster mother was around, she didn't treat these dark races as human beings at all. Although they were indeed not human, they were extremely harsh. Even if I gave them everything, they could only maintain the minimum standard of survival, making it difficult for these tribes to achieve anything.

Now that Noah is in power, things will be different. Because the underground is always an area that is difficult to control on the surface. It is too difficult to manage, and the cost of ruling is extremely high. It is not cost-effective to interfere directly.

Therefore, Noah planned to use barbarians to control barbarians, occupy the highest ruling and management power, command obedient tribes, attack those disobedient tribes in order to maintain his rule, and even plunder externally.

It's a very good idea, but the prerequisite for maintaining rule is to have absolute force and military power that can suppress and clean up everything.

The former can be made up for after Tidel's breakthrough, because the attack of the Sun Archon cannot reach underground. As for the latter, the thirteen knightly orders of the Augustus family are enough to meet the requirements.

"It really is an endless thing!"

After sending off the Underdark's delegation, Noah sighed. With the help of Selina and Cassius's remaining power, he expected that he could maintain his rule over the Underdark for another three to five years without any problems. If Tedal was strong enough, he could even last longer.

As for now, Noah has to deal with tougher targets.

"Sir Noah, has Sir Serena not returned yet?"

"No, what do you want?"

Noah looked at the young wizard who came up to him. He was Selina's follower, a wizard who was attracted by the establishment of the Wizard City. He was the wizard group that was the fastest to notice Selina's absence.

However, Noah, who took over the Mage City at the first opportunity, answered this group of mages by saying that his foster mother was out and wanted to find him if she had any questions.

"We have encountered a problem and would like to ask Lady Serena for advice."

"A difficult problem? Show me."

Noah directly stretched out his dragon claws.

"it's here……"

The wizard, who looked extremely young but was actually several times older than Noah, seemed a little shy and embarrassed.

The mages who were the first to discover Serena's absence did not have any doubts about this. After all, it was common for mages to go out and wander around for a few years on a whim. They did the same thing, so there was nothing strange about it. The reason they came to ask if the mages had returned was mainly to ask the golden dragon in front of them questions.

Although people might have doubts about the wisdom of this golden dragon at first, wondering if dragons knew any magic, after the second or third time, no one would doubt it anymore. Instead, they would look for excuses to seek guidance and help from the golden dragon in front of them.

“Very simple question!”

Noah had an idea after just one glance. Of course, he let the group of wizards come up with the specific plan themselves. He just taught them the ideas and thoughts that came up. For them, this was like a beacon when they were groping forward in the dark.

"Mr. Noah, your wisdom really amazes me!"

Seeing the solution given by Noah, the wizard who came to ask for advice was immediately amazed. At the same time, he also secretly lamented the injustice of the Creator, wondering why he gave such wisdom to the dragon clan, which was already blessed by nature.

Academic mages like them who have been studying for a long time sometimes lack a little inspiration when they encounter problems, but the inspiration of the golden dragon in front of them seems to be endless.

"If you have any questions in the future, just come and ask me. I am the ruler of Mage City now!"

After Noah gave his answer, he spoke directly to the mage who was full of praise.

The wizard in front of him belongs to the School of Truth. As long as research resources are guaranteed, they will plunge into magic theory and research and will not be swayed by external things. They are pure scholar-type wizards.

This type of mages account for a considerable proportion in the Mage City, otherwise Selena would not have recruited them. Unfortunately, her group of followers are not all scholars who pursue the truth. There are also many power-hungry mages. This group of mages are the type that can be sent out to do practical work.

This group of mages are the ones that give Noah a headache. As for the scholar mages in front of him, they are a group that Noah can gather with ease. This is the confidence given to him by the golden fruit of wisdom.

"Okay, Your Excellency the City Lord!"

The young wizard, who received the answer promised by Noah, left happily with the guidance. His mental age corresponded to his appearance. Although he was quite old, he did not have much real experience.

"It would be nice if the city was full of guys like this."

Seeing the departing figure, Jin Long sighed and then directly summoned,

"Gugfil!"

【I am here】

"Are there any idle battle mages right now? Send them battle invitations for me."

Noah, who no longer evades responsibility and chooses to become the Sun Archon, has changed his mindset.

The remaining power of his adoptive parents can still intimidate everything, but Noah has already started to prepare for a rainy day and has begun to take heavy measures against those extreme people with a strong desire for power.

There was no deliberate suppression or targeting of them, or withholding of resources. There was no need to do such despicable things. We just sent battle invitations to these guys from time to time.

In the beginning, many ultimate mages were very enthusiastic to take up the challenge. For many mages who thought highly of themselves, competing with the dragons, who were already good at casting spells, was something they had been dreaming of.

However, no wizard would be willing to fight Noah after just one or two battles, because the golden dragon, wanting to establish its authority, would not hold back at all.

Even without the help of the dragon's naturally powerful body, Noah could suppress a group of mages with just the ultimate power of magic. A mage who comprehended this ultimate power was a walking spell turret, with a status higher than that of mages at the same level, and was considered a first-rate magician.

The vast majority of mages achieve breakthroughs by relying on the ultimate power of Qi, which means constantly accumulating magic power and mental power. When the limit is reached, the quantitative change leads to a qualitative change, causing the essence of life to transform, and then a breakthrough is achieved.

In fact, this is considered the mainstream way to advance, and most spellcasters advance in this way. As for the ultimate meaning of magic, this is the path for true geniuses, and ordinary mages should not even think about it.

[OK, please wait]

Faced with Noah's invitation, few people in Mage City are willing to engage in combat with him. It is enough to experience the feeling of being crushed once, and no one likes to experience it multiple times.

Therefore, Noah allowed the mages to form a team, cooperate with each other, and fight against him. He also wanted to test the limit of his combat power in this way. He needed to have a sufficient understanding of himself.

Unfortunately, even if all the Ultimate Mages who were obsessed with academics were brought along, the five Ultimate Mages joined forces and faced the slightly more serious Noah, they were all defeated and were completely unable to compete head-on.

"We need Ultimate Warriors to resist your frontal attack!"

After being ravaged by Noah again, one of the mages made a very strong request, and the other mages agreed one after another, demanding that melee spellcasters must be introduced to cooperate with them, otherwise the battle could not be fought.

"Well, I'll try and see if I can get a few people over."

So, Noah naturally stretched out his dragon claws and aimed at the leaders of the Ultimate Knights of the Augustus family.

These ultimate warriors still don’t know the inside story, and they don’t even know that Cassius has completed a transformation.

Although they were attracted here by Cassius, almost no one received much guidance. But it didn't matter. Now they have all found their own place in this land and have the constraints of interests, so they basically won't run away.

In Noah's eyes, these Ultimate Knights were also targets that needed to be subdued and intimidated.

They came because of their adoptive father. If you want to win their hearts before they become a legend, you must beat them up until they are convinced.

In this regard, warriors are much more straightforward than mages. Once they are defeated, they will basically bow their heads, not make trouble, and can calmly accept the results.

It doesn’t matter if they don’t accept it. It will just be a few more fights. Compared with future external threats, Noah pays more attention to internal stability.

In this regard, there is no shortcut. The only way is to display overwhelming absolute force so that people dare not have the slightest thought of resistance or the slightest intention of stirring up trouble. They will stay in their original positions honestly and obediently and contribute part of their own strength.
