Chapter 174: The Birth of a Tyrant, Son of Hell
Chapter 174: The Birth of a Tyrant, Son of Hell
"Noah, do you have any suggestions on the location of the royal capital?"
"You are about to become the king, why can't you make your own decisions? Why do you always ask others?"
Noah looked at the old man in front of him and said helplessly,
"Don't you have any ideas of your own?"
"I want to make the capital in Elysium, but there are many voices of opposition!"
Taidel was also helpless. He had already made a decision, but many people did not support his decision.
“It is not a wrong idea to designate the city where the family is most powerful as the capital of the kingdom. We can also use the special political status of the capital to further develop the city and improve the prosperity of the family.
But have you not considered the geographical factors? The city of Elishim is too remote, on the edge of the civilized world of the East. You rule the East, a large part of the area that has been explored by all known civilizations.
You must choose a capital in the core of civilization, which will facilitate your rule. Also, you must choose a place that the Augustus family has never set foot in, so that you can further expand your rule and influence. "
"We have now affected a lot of areas, and no legend will disobey my orders now."
Hearing Noah mention the scope of rule again, Teddel had to reiterate it.
"That's because you haven't violated their fundamental interests, so they are naturally willing to obey your orders on seemingly unimportant matters.
But this is far from enough, you have to constantly consolidate and strengthen your authority, you have to become a true monarch, not the ruler of a united country. "
“It’s pretty good now.”
Teddle felt a little headache. If he had no choice and it was unrealistic, he really wanted to throw the crown on his head at the dragon in front of him to prevent the dragon from making noise beside him all the time.
"Think about your child. Do you think he will be satisfied with your current achievements? If you don't do something, he will definitely do it after you step down and he takes over. If you put in a little more effort now, he will have to put in a lot less effort in the future."
Noah said seriously.
"I understand. I will rebuild the city of Uther in the heart of the East!"
The discussion between the new king and the golden dragon was thus finalized, and a city destined to prosper for a thousand years began to be built in the heart of Eastern civilization.
The location of this capital was not within the original territory of the United Kingdom. Due to the instigation of a certain holy dragon, the new king directly located the capital in the most controversial no-man's land in the East, which was the border between the three legendary principalities.
Similar areas are actually not uncommon, and are often established as buffer zones to reduce conflicts and wars between two neighboring major powers.
Such areas are most likely to breed darkness and derive a lot of gray industries. There is no need to expect public security. All kinds of people gather in one place. Not to mention fugitives and serious criminals, these things are nothing here. You have the chance to see hell believers, devil followers, and even real demons.
However, with the establishment of the new kingdom, all these areas suffered devastating blows. The Holy Dragon's enfeoffment of a hundred dragons was a round of cleanup of these areas. The current selection of the location of the royal capital is an even more devastating strangulation.
After the disaster of hell, there were too many demons left on this land. Although the Holy Dragon once led the army to carry out a round of cleanup, it was far from enough.
"From today on, this land will be the foundation of my future kingdom!"
A middle-aged man with slightly gray hair on his temples walked above the sky with his hands behind his back. The howling wind turned into a visible bridge of wind and mist, allowing him to walk as if he were walking on flat ground.
Behind him, three legends looked at each other, none of them looking very happy.
Although Teddle's status and reputation in the Augustus family are not high, he is not as good as his parents and is also mediocre compared to his son. Even his wife, who is about to break through and become a legend, seems to be a few points behind him.
However, as he had fused the blood essences of four Titans, he was simply invincible in the secular world. When Hell invaded, he was the fighting force and backbone of the coalition forces.
At that time, there was a holy warrior at the near-saint level who could compete with him in combat power. However, with the end of the Hell Disaster, the near-saint went to the south, and many ancient dragons returned. Cassius, who returned briefly, fell into hell again. Now, Teddel has become the combat power ceiling of the East.
Not to mention that no legend dared to challenge Taidel alone, even if there were multiple legends together, they would be afraid when facing Taidel.
Now that Teddel has forcefully intervened in the forces of the three legends, either the three legends will unite to force him away, or Teddel will squeeze their forces and oppress their families.
It is obvious that these three melee legends cannot do the former, so they can only give in, but even if they give in, it does not mean the end.
Because once the royal capital is built, their original sphere of influence will be included in the royal capital. This area is all affiliated with the royal power. If they don't want to be oppressed by the new king, their only choice is to move away. But how can they be willing to do that!
They couldn't defeat them by fighting, and they couldn't move away either. There seemed to be only one option left - to completely submit to the Augustus family and become a vassal of the royal family!
Although this event of selecting a site for the royal capital did not cause much trouble, it greatly changed Tedel's reputation. In the eyes of many legends, Tedel was originally a ruler with a tough temperament, but extremely gentle and very easy to get along with.
Because of this, many legends want to support Tedel to become the new king and form a more powerful national political system that can withstand more external risks.
However, they did not expect that the Tedel they saw was only one side of him. This guy had many more faces. Cold-blooded, mean and ungrateful, and many other labels representing tyrants were attached to the new king.
But even so, a certain dragon felt that this guy was too weak and not strong enough.
"Look at these nobles. They dare not oppose you openly, but secretly they organize bards to fabricate false facts, criticize your policies, and slander your reputation!"
"I think what they said is not wrong. Now I am indeed transforming into a qualified tyrant. However, what's wrong with becoming a tyrant who can keep more people alive?"
Seeing the golden dragon showing a manic state on the side, Teddel, who was becoming more and more majestic like a king, was laughing.
"How can you be called a tyrant if you are so indecisive?"
Noah couldn't help but sneer when he heard that the guy in front of him actually called himself a tyrant.
"Now you are the only one who thinks that I am not a tyrant. Why don't you come to my new capital and take a look? I am only carrying out the decrees you issued.
The surrounding areas, from the nobles above to the merchants and even the common people below, all spit on and insult me. It seems that the only ones who thank me are the slaves who have gained freedom. "
When he said this, there was no sign of frustration on Taidel's face.
"No, only some slaves will thank me. Many slaves will think that I have made them lose shelter and food opportunities. I have made them homeless."
"It seems that your policies have not been thoroughly implemented, otherwise the merchants, civilians and slaves would only praise you. How could they complain about you?"
Noah knew the problem as soon as he heard it.
Some policies are only half implemented, which is really asking for trouble, such as the slave labor law, which allows slaves to exchange their freedom through labor.
But they only allowed slaves to be free, but did not provide them with jobs. Food, clothing, housing and transportation all became a problem for them to worry about. It would be strange if they didn't scold them. "Yes!"
"That's why I said you were indecisive. At this time, besides killing one person to warn the rest, do you have any other choice?"
"I came to you to solve the problem. Please transfer some of your dragon lords here, preferably bronze dragons!"
"What do you want to do?"
"Show the iron-bloodedness of a tyrant!"
Taidel smiled, but this smile on the face of an aging king did not look kind, but rather chilling.
"Okay, I'll notify all the bronze dragons under my command, but don't you want the other dragons?"
"I will invite them when I hold the founding ceremony. There is no need for that now!"
Tidel politely declined. He had seen on the battlefield how unreliable the copper and brass dragons of the dragon clan were.
As for the gold dragon and the silver dragon, these two dragons are reliable, but there are too few of them, and they are arrogant and difficult to obey orders. They can exist as commanders, rather than as high-level units under command.
"Besides the Dragon Lord? Isn't this too little? What other support do you need? Do you need me to come over?"
"No, I can suppress the surrounding legends. Asking you to transfer the bronze dragon is just to increase the power. I have already invited many holy warriors. They are my main force to clean up the surrounding nobles."
"Let the holy warriors cleanse the nobles? Hiss~"
The Golden Dragon took a deep breath and ordered the Holy Knight to leave and purge the nobles, which was tantamount to launching a massacre against the aristocracy in disguise.
This is not a question of killing one and leaving one alive, but a question of how many nobles can survive.
Using the paladin's standards for judging good and evil, how many decent nobles could pass, other than a noble baby with no human abilities?
"I have a new respect for you now!"
Noah had to admit that Tidell had indeed matured a lot. Even he would not make such a decision easily because it was too extreme.
No wonder he only asked him to borrow the bronze dragon instead of the gold and silver dragons, because only the bronze dragon would approve of such an extreme cleansing method, and the gold and silver dragons might even try to stop it.
Then again, what did the nobles around the new capital do to cause Taidel to resolve the issue in such an extreme way?
What on earth are these guys thinking? Do they think that by forming an alliance and pretending to obey but secretly fighting against Taidel, they can make a legend who possesses the strongest power and has enough military support from the legion give in?
"You should have taken a new look at me a long time ago."
"Look how proud you are of me."
"How are you raising my offspring named Wayne?"
"You know all this? Who told you?"
Noah was quite surprised.
"I am the real monarch, not a useless person who has been sidelined. Why can't I know?"
Taidel said unhappily.
“So far, so good.”
Noah hesitated and answered.
"I don't have any expectations for this child. Just raise him and let him grow up carefree and free."
“I think this is a bit difficult.”
"What do you mean?"
At this time, it was Taidel's turn to be stunned.
"The direction of his development is a little beyond my expectations. He is not a guy who can stay in the same position."
Noah saw that Teddel wanted to ask again, so he shut him up with one sentence.
"No need to ask. If you have time, come and see for yourself. After all, he is your direct descendant."
The strong smell of sulfur filled his nostrils. This smell that was disgusting to humans was very enjoyable to Wayne, who couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Then, Wayne, who had a complete devil's body, looked up and forward. The towering and rugged mountains were like sharp swords, piercing into the dark sky. Among these dangerous mountains, there were corpses everywhere.
As tall as a mountain, the body of a black goat resembles a broken body. In the black blood flowing from it, there are countless poisonous snakes breeding, and there is also a powerful existence like a fallen angel.
Even from a distance, one could still see the seductive outline of her body. Unfortunately, there was no way to see her beauty because her head was gone and only half of her body was left.
In addition, there were broken wheels of flesh and blood, a giant cat monster with only a head left, and a relatively intact one. However, compared with the corpse of a dragon that crushed mountains, these were nothing.
This is a battlefield, a battlefield left behind after a battle between beings comparable to gods. When Wayne came here for the first time, he would be frightened by every monster here.
But this battlefield, like the deepest nightmare, remained unchanged, and Wayne, who had entered here many times, gradually became numb. Now he calmed down and had the courage to look for new monsters that he had never seen before.
However, he only searched with his eyes. As for moving, he was unwilling to do so because he was not the only living thing here. If even a drop of blood or a bit of flesh was spilled on the corpses of those powerful beings, it might turn into an extremely ferocious monster.
Wayne has forgotten how many times he has been eaten, but no matter how many times he has been eaten, when he enters again next time, he will have a devil body that is more powerful and complete than in reality.
"Why do I keep dreaming about this place?"
Although he was only two years old, Wayne, who already had a full consciousness, had learned to think. He looked into the depths of the mountains shrouded in blood mist and could vaguely see the outline of a huge human figure.
He sat on top of the mountains, looking down at everything, and it seemed as if they were also looking at him.
