Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 198: The old Wang, whose days are numbered, finally comes to an end

"Noah, the war is about to begin!"

He once again demonstrated his invincibility, and intimidated the monarchs of the East and the South with his absolute strength. Sitting on the throne, he was like a towering sacred mountain that had existed since time immemorial, awe-inspiring and inviolable. At the first sight of him, they were willing to kneel on the ground and worship his majesty.

However, the golden dragon, which was so close at hand, could see through the fatigue and confusion that this seemingly majestic and powerful king was trying hard to hide.

Because he is too old. Perhaps for a legendary king who is only a hundred years old, it is not appropriate to describe him as old.

But old age is the most true portrayal of Taidel's current condition. This comes from his father Cassius, but it does not belong to his bloodline.

The blood of the Titans was oppressing his body and soul all the time. Although it brought him unparalleled strength and power, it also brought him unimaginable pressure.

"But I'm getting older, Noah. I may not be able to support you until you reach adulthood."

"Don't be impulsive."

Noah frowned, carefully sensing Teddel's current condition, but the power of this king was growing stronger with the passage of time.

Because he integrated and mastered more power derived from the Titan Blood Crystal, which seriously affected Noah's perception and judgment.

However, even so, Noah could feel the serious loss and loss of Tagore's life source. All this was caused by his overuse of the power of the Titan bloodline.

If he remained motionless, even if the Titan bloodline would oppress him, he could still live for another three to five hundred years. Once he took action, his vitality would be depleted as fast as a waterfall. It could be said that whenever Taidel took action, he would consume his own vitality.

"Do you think I was impulsive in this fight?"

Noah knew that what Tidel was asking about was the incident not long ago when a legendary noble led his family and his forces in rebellion. The king, who looked very old, took action after receiving and confirming the news.

He is no longer the shy boy, nor is he the young man who would hesitate and waver when faced with problems. Along the way, he has gradually possessed the kingly majesty and magnanimity that Noah wanted to see.

Faced with provocation, he would respond with absolute force. Faced with threats from more powerful forces, he would not give in or compromise. And faced with temptation, he would not hesitate at all and would kill all rebels with the force of thunder.

But this was the majesty that Noah had envisioned for the most ideal monarch. When Tedal did all this, Noah felt sorry for it, because the price he paid was too tragic.

At less than a hundred years old, this monarch who once dominated the Eastern Territory already showed signs of old age, with an aged demeanor that he needed to try hard to conceal.

Even if he was a professional who had embarked on the path to transcendence, he would not be like this. Even if he was the heir of an ordinary noble family, he would not be in his current state.

"No, you are not impulsive. The snake people are becoming more and more arrogant. They do need to be warned and hit back forcefully, but why would you do it?"

Noah affirmed Teddel's actions, because judging from the results of the battle, Teddel's move this time was enough to shock the snake people, and it also made some of the extraordinary forces in the country who were ready to make moves continue to choose to lie dormant and wait and see, allowing some fence-sitters to make more wise decisions.

"I am the king of Atlas. My vassal betrayed me, so of course I had to do it. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Hearing the comment made by the golden dragon in front of him, Teddel couldn't help laughing and asked back.

"But, what is your current condition?"

Noah showed his worry, and he did not hide his expression, just like Ted did not hide his bad condition in front of him.

"It's not as bad as you think. I also plan to completely destroy the Serpent Nation of Thane. However, after this battle, I'm afraid I won't have the energy to do it again."

"There is a legend from across the border in the Serpent Country of Thane. Are you sure you want to do it?"

"Of course, since we have already established our hostile stance, there is nothing more to say. We naturally need to eliminate all of these legends who have crossed over before they adapt to our world."

The king, who seemed to be in his twilight years, possessed the purest and most intense murderous aura in his life.

The exchanges between species in various material planes are actually very frequent and close. Especially with the emergence of summoning, the prosperity of species in various material worlds has been further enriched.

However, although the difficulty of crossing between the material worlds is much simpler than that of the upper and lower planes, the basic rules still need to be followed, for example, the more powerful the creature, the greater the difficulty of crossing the world.

Especially for biological individuals above the Extreme Intention, when they enter a world that does not belong to them, they will be rejected and suppressed by the world, and their combat effectiveness will decline to varying degrees.

However, this negative state caused by the world's oppression can be gradually eliminated through continuous adaptation. In the end, it can move freely like native creatures without any restrictions.

The material world is very inclusive. You should know that in the early mythological era, the material world allowed gods to walk freely.

It’s just that because the wars that broke out between gods caused too much damage to the ecology of the material world, the laws that limit and restrict the existence of gods at this level came into being.

"Okay. Given your condition, how long can you hold out after this battle?"

Noah did not deny the correctness of Tidel's decision. The snake people had already extended their claws into the territory and even instigated a great noble to rebel. It was not enough to simply cut off the opponent's claws.

To truly keep the enemy out of the country, of course the only way is to completely destroy the enemy's lairs, but can Teddel hold on?

"So, this is why I came to find you!"

A smile appeared on Teddel's face.

"I don't want to die young, so I plan to follow my father's example. After this battle, I plan to strip away the bloodline in my body, so please prepare first."

"You should have stripped your bloodline a long time ago. Urdu is almost breaking through."

Noah agreed with Tidel's decision. The root of Tidel's aging lies in his Titan blood. As long as he removes this blood, the only problem is the loss of vitality, which can be easily solved with his current status.

"Even if he breaks through, it won't be enough to inherit my current position."

Taidel was not very satisfied with his genius offspring.

Because he knew his son's character clearly. Once he replaced him and sat on the throne, the entire kingdom would be influenced by him and turned into a huge war machine, running continuously until this machine destroyed everything within sight or fell apart.

But even if he had foreseen this scene, it would be of no use, because apart from Urnos, he could not find a second suitable successor.

The position of the second monarch of the Kingdom of Atlas must be a strong monarch who can hold all power and authority in his own hands.

Otherwise, the newly established kingdom would surely fall apart. Therefore, even a tyrant who would turn the kingdom into a war behemoth would be more suitable than an incompetent and mediocre ruler. What Taidel thought was inappropriate was that Urnos's power was not enough to bear the title of king at this time. The throne held not only rights, but also equal obligations.

"Legendary is enough. You don't have to be too demanding. I and your mother are here to help you. Besides, Edith will soon break through. She is a Nine Swords Grandmaster who has been promoted to Legend. You know her deterrent power better than I do."

The Master of Nine Swords is a melee mage who excels in combat. Although this description is not enough to summarize this profession, it is the best summary for people who don’t know much about it.

Therefore, the status of a legendary Nine Swords Master is basically equivalent to that of a legendary spellcaster. From the perspective of a ruler, the deterrent power is even stronger, because the Nine Swords Master specializes in combat, and all the spells and combat skills he possesses are to improve combat and lethality.

"I know that it is because of your existence that I can make such a willful decision."

"This is not just willfulness. As a monarch, you are better, more decisive, and more domineering than I expected."

"Hahaha, are you criticizing me? But I think you are praising me. Noah, go and prepare the blood-stripping array for me. I will be using it soon."

"Are you going alone?"

"No, I will also summon all the legends in the kingdom who are able to fight."

"I can not go?"

"You need to prepare a magic circle for me!"

Teddle repeated.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

How could Noah see anything wrong?

"Do what a king and a family head should do, and eliminate all threats."

Teddel's deep voice echoed in the deep palace. At this moment, he no longer looked weak or old due to his vitality being exhausted. His momentum was gradually rising.

When he summoned Noah, he had already arranged everything, and there was no place for Noah in the list of troops to go to the battle.

"I have to go with you. I think you're going to do something stupid."

"If you really want me to come back alive, you should wait for me in the city of Elishim. Don't you know how much the evil god called the Mother of Ten Thousand Snakes covets you?

If you go with me, the evil god will definitely send down an incarnation. This is not the blood sacrifice incarnation you dealt with last time. There will be a legend as her carrier. Even I will have a headache. "

Noah was speechless with such irrefutable reasons. After all, the reason why the Kingdom of Atlas was being targeted by the snake people was largely due to him.

The Mother of Ten Thousand Snakes coveted his bloodline very much, and this was related to the authority she held, because she was the source of the bloodline of tens of thousands of extraordinary snake creatures.

If Noah is really willing to cooperate with her and create a new species of snake, with the blessing of the ancestral dragon bloodline, her authority can be greatly enhanced.

"You have a point."

Noah had to admit it.

So, the golden dragon watched as the first king of Atlas led half of the kingdom's legends to fight across the border to defeat the Serpent Kingdom.

This war attracted the attention of almost all forces in the Zealandia continent, because after the end of the Hell Disaster and the collapse of the Abyss Gate, there have never been more than a dozen legends participating in the same battlefield.

Although the scale of this war was comparable to that of Hell, it did not last long. The expeditionary force led by King Atlas himself was composed of legends and ultimate warriors, with a size of no more than a hundred people.

In just three days, Teddel led a group of legends and pushed the battle line to the nest city of the Serpent Kingdom of Sion, and then a melee broke out instantly.

The battle lasted for eight days and nine nights, and no legend in the Serpent Kingdom of Sen could fight against the King of Atlas who inherited the blood of the Titans.

Therefore, this war ended with the destruction of the Serpent Kingdom of Sion without any suspense. This Serpent Kingdom, which was established less than five years ago, became history. However, whether it will only remain in history remains a question.

Because there are still a large number of snake people left, and they are active all over the Zealandia continent. However, facing the Atlas Kingdom, which can easily destroy a country, these snake people do not seem to be a threat.

Because of this battle, as many as six legends died, and two legends escaped. Although such a brilliant victory was achieved, the Kingdom of Atlas also paid a heavy price. A total of three legends died, and the rest of the legends who participated in the battle were also injured to varying degrees.

It seemed that the only one who was truly unscathed was the King of Atlas. However, only the golden dragon who was really close to him knew what a heavy price the king paid for this victory.

"you!"

Noah was furious when he saw Taidel fulfill his promise and return to the city of Elishim.

The reason why he felt angry was very simple, because the man in front of him was an old man with a hunched back, sparse hair, and a body so shriveled that the skin and flesh were connected tightly to the bones. The death aura on him was so strong that it could be compared to that of the undead.

"How can we draw blood from this?"

"Can't smoke?"

"You are only breathing your last breath now, and you are still asking if you can draw. If you move even a little, you will return to the underworld!"

Noah couldn't understand it at all.
"You don't need to go this far. The situation is not bad enough to require you to sacrifice your life."

"No, the situation is actually worse than you think. The infiltration of the snake people is more serious than you see."

Taidel smiled helplessly.
"Did you hear about the three legends who fell from our kingdom in the battle report? I killed them with my own hands."

"What? You led a group of rebels to wipe out the enemy country? How many things have you hidden from me?"

Although Noah was shocked, he was even more angry that this kind of news had not reached his ears.

"No, that's all. I have eliminated all the threats."
