Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 155: Near Sainthood! Sainthood?
"Fourth awakening?!"

Noah looked at the young man in front of him, and listened to the girl who returned with him, her words full of relaxation and laughter. He felt only a sense of disbelief and absurdity in his heart.

When did bloodline awakening become so easy?
Is Titan blood some low-level blood? How can it be awakened multiple times in a row?

If there was a dragon vein sorcerer who could revive the incomplete dragon veins and elevate the bloodline to the level of the ancestral dragon, Noah would also find it incredible, because this was something that was impossible. However, in reality, there were people who had done something of the same difficulty.

This went against common sense, and Noah felt as if he was in a dream, because even in the inheritance of the ancestral dragons, he could not find any similar cases.

"Well, but my efforts back then were not in vain. I have made a step forward now compared to what I was doing back then."

When Cassius opened his mouth, both his vitality and breath showed a vigorous and exuberant youthfulness.

Although Cassius' strength is beyond anything he's ever experienced before, Noah feels that his adoptive father seems to be getting younger and younger, which is completely the opposite of Ted's condition.

“But the original problem has not been solved, but has become more serious.”

Selina said lightly,
"Even though he has awakened four times, his bloodline is still incomplete. He will eventually be restricted."

"So should we smoke again?"

For some reason, Noah's tone was still full of anticipation.

"It's useless. You want to use the same method a second time? You're dreaming."

Serena crushed Noah's expectations on the spot.

"Unless you want to kill him."

"Tell me about the Hell Invasion. What happened in the years we were away?"

Cassius did not allow his wife to continue chatting with the Golden Dragon, but asked about things that concerned him. While he was speaking, lightning flashed in his eyes, as if a thunderstorm was brewing.

“Well, this is a very long story.”

Noah let out a long sigh. His adoptive parents had been missing for more than ten years. For Jin Long, this period of time was the most difficult time in his memory, because the things he experienced were too many and too complicated.

"Then tell me briefly."

Serena interrupted.

"If you want to tell us the story from beginning to end, you can wait until the problem is solved."

"The problem now is that the capital has fallen. The devil has occupied it and built a gate to hell. With the power currently accumulated in the territory, we can only defend but not break through. The power of the continent is now dispersed."

Noah succinctly describes the current predicament.

Currently, there is a Gate of Abyss and two Gates of Hell standing on the continent of Zealandia, so the power of the continent is divided into three parts because of these three gates, and each part is not enough to break through the gate, and the power cannot be concentrated.

Considering the most ideal scenario, gathering the power of the continent would be enough to break down any gate, but ideals are not reality, and the power cannot be concentrated and gathered together.

Because each party has its own interests to protect, no one can really give up everything and ignore everything. For example, Noah and Teddle, there is no way they will leave the Augustus family territory to help the other two parties.

As soon as they leave, the family territory will inevitably suffer a bloody massacre by the devil's army, which is a result that no one can accept.

Therefore, even though the situation on the continent became increasingly corrupt, and even the Gate of the Abyss, which had been suppressed at the beginning, became active again, the situation did not improve much, as everyone had their own constraints and concerns.

Even a holy warrior who does not seek fame or fortune and is righteous and selfless cannot abandon everything, because there are lands and people that need to be protected. Once they leave, everything they protect will be slaughtered and destroyed. Who can move? Who is willing to move?
Of course, this is not a dead end. Even without interference from external forces, the revival and resistance of the continent's will is enough to calm everything down.

The most distinctive feature is that in turbulent times, the advancement speed of extraordinary people will become faster, the realm barriers will be weakened, or even disappear. This is most obvious in extraordinary people with outstanding talents.

The Augustus family has a very vivid case. One of them is Teddel's wife, the half-elf Edith. Without the help of any external force or special resources, she has already touched the threshold of legend. According to Noah's observation, she will be able to break through in about ten years, maybe even shorter.

Another case is naturally Tidel’s son, Urnos. Now Ur finally looks like a young man.

Not only that, he also relied on his innate powerful bloodline to break through in just over ten years and become an ultimate master.

Ji Yi, who is less than 30 years old, has the fastest record in the Augustus family. He is now a rising star active in the border battlefield, leading the dragon riders assigned to him by Noah to protect the family territory and kill countless demons and fallen servants.

"How many devil legends are guarding the gates of hell?"

After understanding the simple situation, Cassius asked briefly.

"There are five legendary devils guarding it all year round. Once it is attacked, more devils will come to support it. But the real problem is not the devils, but the fact that the gate of hell can make the lords of hell send down projections to attack. This is the real tricky problem."

After holding out for several years, the Augustus family certainly tried to organize their forces to completely destroy the Gate of Hell, but the casualties were very heavy.

One of the ancient dragons summoned by Noah was severely injured and had to return to hibernation to repair his injuries. For this, Noah owed a huge debt.

Because it is a just cause against evil, the costs of summoning and attacking can be waived, but Noah has to bear all the medical expenses required after being injured, no matter how thick-skinned he is.

How can he let the dragon that came to help him get injured and then have to spend his own money to treat it? If this gets out, will he still be able to stay in the metal dragon clan? If he wants to ask other dragons for help in the future, who will pay attention to him?
"There are at least five legendary devils and a projection of the Lord of Hell. It sounds good and worth a fight."

Cassius' eyes became brighter because of Noah's description. Even with Noah's vision, it was difficult to look directly at it.

Because Cassius was too excited, he failed to control the power in his body and a little bit of it leaked out, which made Noah feel a little suffocated, but also allowed the Golden Dragon to get a glimpse of the truth.

Noah estimated that his adoptive father's current realm was probably at the level of a deity or demigod. As for his combat power, Noah was unable to assess it.

The adoptive father 20 years ago paid an extremely tragic price and was able to kill the evil spirit. It is hard to compare how strong the adoptive father is now.

"I want to try and see if I can push down the gate of hell. Do you want to come with me?" "Go!"

Noah nodded vigorously. What was there to hesitate about? Not to mention the adoptive father who was already extremely powerful at the moment, in Jin Long's perception, the adoptive mother at the moment was also unknown.

If Cassius were alone, there might still be some suspense, but with the two of them working together, Noah felt that there was a great chance that they could destroy the Gate of Hell.

Once the Gate of Hell is destroyed, the source of unrest in the eastern part of the continent will be eliminated. Even if there are still monsters everywhere and foul air in the air, it is only a matter of time to clear out the evil and restore order. We can't just wait aimlessly like we do now.

"Let's go then!"

Cassius stepped forward, and Selina waved her wand, breaking through space and constructing a portal to the border of the Augustus family.

"Hi~"

Seeing the fortress opposite that exuded a tragic atmosphere, Noah bared his teeth and followed.

When the two of them and the golden dragon descended, even though Cassius and Selina restrained their auras, there is a mutual sensitivity between legends. Especially when the gap is too big to make up, the threat that can directly strike the soul is difficult for anyone to ignore.

Therefore, when Cassius's feet stepped on the purple and blood-stained ground of the fortress, all eyes immediately gathered around him.

Roar!
Accompanied by a long dragon roar, an ancient bronze dragon soared above the fortress. In its green dragon eyes, there seemed to be blazing green flames. In the ancient dragon's perception, Cassius's existence was too terrifying.

However, after seeing Noah, the ancient dragon's expression suddenly relaxed. With this new dragon rookie here, he should be the reinforcements invited by the other party. No one knew what kind of existence he was.

Then, the ancient dragon turned his gaze to the young man who made him feel particularly terrifying. As for the girl beside him, who was surrounded by strong elemental light, he ignored her.

Because the gap between the girl and the boy is like the light of the sun and the brilliance of the stars, there is no comparison at all, but the more Gu Long looked at them, the more familiar they looked.

Until the fortress's supreme commander, a middle-aged man with a weathered face and white hair on his temples, hurried over and stood in front of the young man, his face showing uncontrollable excitement, as well as a bit of shame and timidity.
"Father!"

The current patriarch of the Augustus Family, the supreme commander of the Eastern Alliance of the Continent, and the most powerful fighter in the alliance, a man known as the Power of Titans.

At this moment, he was at a loss in front of the teenager, just like a child who did something wrong and was afraid of being scolded.

This was unbelievable to the many legends who had sensed the appearance of Cassius and rushed over. However, it was a matter of course for the legends who originally belonged to the Kingdom of Erestoria.

Although his facial features had changed a lot, they could all recognize that the person who came was the glorious founder of the Augustus family. Without him, his descendants would not have been able to sit in the position of commander-in-chief of the alliance.

"You did very well!"

After Cassius arrived at the scene, he was stunned for a while when he saw the parent and child standing in front of him. Then, under the other party's somewhat uneasy gaze, he slowly spoke with a bit of relief in his eyes.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Seventeen legends gathered at the scene, and more legends were coming from afar. This was the power gathered in the eastern part of the continent, all of whom were determined to fight against the devil.

There are even more legends who chose to flee, either hiding secretly in other areas that have not been invaded, or going out to sea to other continents, or even escaping to other dimensions to avoid this disaster.

Even though there are many fugitives, the legends who are willing to resist are a force that cannot be ignored. Although they are pinned down here, they also pin down the devils at the gate of hell, preventing them from invading on a large scale.

However, although there are many legends, most of them are only at the first or second level of legend. The bronze ancient dragons that Noah spent money to call over and the archangels that he got for free are the combat power in the alliance.

Of course, there are also strong people in the local area. There are also two near-saints in the East Territory, and one of them is a holy warrior holding an ancient weapon.

If this paladin is willing to serve as the commander-in-chief of the alliance, it will basically be the popular choice. After all, the reputation accumulated by the paladin over the years is there. In this catastrophe, the paladin is also the extraordinary professional with the most casualties.

However, the old paladin did not pursue fame and fortune too much, so he let Taidel serve as the commander of the alliance.

Of course, Teddel himself was not really willing to do so, but there were only a few people who were qualified. Although his strength was a little weaker, he could still keep the position relying on the reputation his father had accumulated in the past.

"I……"

Angels and dragons were circling in the sky, and dozens of legends gathered there. Teddel's voice was a little choked at this moment.

This was the first time since he was a child that he had received such affirmation from his father. All the depression and resentment accumulated in his heart since he was a child, as well as the fatigue over the years, all came out at this moment.

"You're already so old, why are you so weak to praise?"

Selena stepped forward with a staff in hand. Unlike Cassius who was still able to keep his composure, the girlish wizard didn't care at all and hugged Teddel, who was already much taller than her, in her arms.

However, their appearance and body shape are totally disproportionate. They look like an elderly man hugging his granddaughter who has just grown up.

"Mother!"

"I heard that you are now the commander-in-chief of the alliance. That's amazing."

The girl gently patted the old man's back. As a mother, how could she not feel distressed when she saw her son looked older than herself?
"However, a commander should act like a commander. The counterattack is about to begin. You should lead by example."

Wuwuwu——

When the cloud giant wearing mottled armor blew the bronze horn, the sound of war drums louder than thunder echoed throughout the fortress. Giants, angels, dragons, the human golden knights, and the elite of the fortress began to pour out...

When Cassius set foot in the fortress, neither the legendary people who knew his name nor the ancient dragons who did not know him had any objection to the temporary decision to counterattack.

All the legends could feel the power of this man. Even those who were close to being saints would feel a heavy pressure when facing this man, as if they were facing the saint form of a god.

With the arrival of such a strong man, it might not be impossible to break the gate of hell guarded by the incarnation of the Lord of Hell.
