Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 267: All the calculations are no match for a sword

"Execute me? Xifuleya, what qualifications do you have to judge me on behalf of His Highness Noah?"

Seeing the executioner who brutally massacred more than 300 of his fellow tribesmen and subordinates, Elfino laughed angrily. She just felt it was ridiculous.

Although Sifrea was indeed the first fairy to surrender and pledge allegiance to the Holy Dragon Noah, she followed closely behind him in those days and was not much slower.

The two of them, together with the last one, Lutetia, whose presence was almost non-existent, were the fairies who pledged allegiance to His Majesty Noah at the time, so they were collectively referred to as the Three Giants by later generations.

Not to mention Lutitia who seemed to have done nothing, even if it was Sifrea, who was considered the leader of the three giants by the fairies, Alphinault did not think that the other party could compare with himself.

Especially the contribution she made to His Majesty the Holy Dragon. The other party just stayed around His Majesty all day long, waiting for orders, while she was running around outside.

It can be said that she has made an indelible contribution to the expansion of the fairy community to a size of nearly three million today. The fairy community's ability to control the core political power of the Holy Dragon Territory and even the Atlas Kingdom's still considerable political power is inseparable from her efforts.

She should be the leader of the three giants. Why would she be the one who just took the lead at the beginning and then became a sycophant who only flatters His Majesty the Holy Dragon all day long?
What right did such a guy have to execute her? He even claimed the name of the Holy Dragon in vain.

"hopeless!"

The tenderness that flashed across Sifrea's eyes as she recalled the past completely disappeared.

Zheng~
With a flash of golden light, the leader of the fairies who had never had any outstanding achievements in battle disappeared from the main seat of the execution ground. A magnificent sword light passed through the sky above the city of Elishim, and the sky was split open with one sword, and the elements within a hundred miles became disordered.

Under the brilliant sword light, not only Elfino was shocked, but also countless citizens and extraordinary people. Since the establishment of Elishim, it was the first time that extraordinary people in the ultimate realm took action in the city.

Especially after the establishment of the Mage City and the spread of the maze over a hundred miles, even legends would not use them casually. Even flying on a normal day was a privilege.

Except for the sky knights who have patrol duties, no extraordinary person is allowed to take off at will. The air control is so strict, let alone a battle. But now, above the main urban area, there are goblins swinging swords and slashing at their own kind.

"This is Elishim. You dare to draw your sword here? Xifuleya, you are too brave! You should be executed."

Seeing the sword light coming straight towards him, Elfino took out a mithril staff, and the majestic elemental light shone and gathered at the head of the staff.

At this moment, the giant fairy seemed to be holding an elemental sword nearly a hundred meters long in her hand, and the staff became the hilt of the elemental sword, which she swung and chopped towards Sifrea.

The battle between the two fairy giants broke out in an instant, but the elemental sword, which seemed more powerful, collapsed at the first touch of the sword light swung by Sifrea, which seemed more simple in comparison.

With just one sword, he broke the sword of elements in Elfinor's hand, and even cut off the mithril staff inlaid with seventeen gems in her hand. Another sword slashed on her shoulder, almost cutting her upper body diagonally. Bright red blood spilled with the rich fragrance of flowers and plants.

For a moment, a strong breath of life burst out in the air. If it weren't for the special environment, the blood shed by the big demon would probably be able to create a lush jungle.

At this time, the dragon fairy and dozens of big fairy guards who followed Alfino back, each cast healing or defensive spells, or took out magic weapons, and surrounded Alfino.

"Protect Master Elphinol!"

The two seemingly equally famous fairy giants, after just a brief confrontation, the difference in their strength was immediately apparent. The Governor of the Valley of Fire was completely defeated by the leader of the fairies serving the Holy Dragon.

"Do you really want to kill me?"

Elphinaud, who was healing his body with great difficulty, looked at Sifrea, who was walking slowly in the air with a sword in her hand, with some disbelief.

At this moment, this fairy, whose body is covered in dragon scales and looks like she is wearing dragon armor, has the dragon wings on her back fully spread out, and her majesty, which is no less than that of a pure-blooded dragon, permeates the air.

The territory that was gradually built and expanded by one side, as she walked, included all of her friends of the same clan who were targeted by her, as well as her subordinates, with murderous intent.

"The transformation of the dragon fairies will begin with you."

Sifrea has made up her mind to kill Elphinor.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

"you……"

At this moment, Elfino felt angry, frightened, and confused.

What made her angry was that the fairy, whom she believed had not contributed as much to the Holy Dragon as she did, actually dared to kill him in public.

The reason for her fear was even simpler. She felt the shadow of death. If she had not held the Staff of Eternal Glory that cost billions to make, and the Robe of Billions of Dawn's Glory for protection, she would have been beheaded by the sword just now.

Because of this, she also felt confused. When they followed the Holy Dragon, they were all little goblins, so weak that there was no difference between them.

But the other party often served the Holy Dragon, while she had been away from the Holy Dragon for a long time, obsessed with power and focusing on politics. Now, the power she relied on seemed so ridiculous under the sword of the other party.

The other party could kill her on the spot in the name of the Holy Dragon. At this point, only her trusted confidants dared to stand in front of them.

Apart from this, no one else came out to stop it. From this perspective, all the painstaking efforts accumulated over the years seemed particularly ridiculous, as all the thoughts were no match for a single sword.

"You guys should step down. You haven't done anything wrong. You are not guilty of anything. You don't have to sacrifice your lives for me!"

With one sword, some of the beliefs in his heart began to shatter, and Elfino's pursuits were completely destroyed. At this moment, his eyes became much clearer.

She looked at the group of fairies in front of her who still wanted to defend themselves, and felt deeply moved that they had not done nothing over the years. At the same time, she signaled them to retreat and not to commit suicide for her.

"Shifraya, I accept your request to chop off my head in the name of His Majesty, but I ask you to be kind to your own kind. It is not easy for every great fairy to reach this day."

"It is not easy for us fairies to get to where we are today, so I must purge the scum and dregs among us. The loyalty of the fairies to His Majesty the Holy Dragon must not be distorted."

Seeing her sister who was ready to die calmly, Sifrea showed a look of relief in her eyes, but the sword in her hand did not slow down at all. In the watchful eyes of everyone, she cut off the exquisite and beautiful head.

wow~
Seeing with their own eyes that this fairy, second only to the Holy Dragon, was beheaded in the sky above the city of Elishim, the people who came to watch were suddenly noisy, and all kinds of discussions were heard everywhere. "Am I seeing correctly? This is the governor of the Valley of Fire, right?"

"Yes, Holy Dragon, she was actually executed. What happened?"

"Is this really the order from the Holy Dragon?"

"Well done. I've been fed up with these goblins for a long time. They extort money from me every day. Nine out of ten times I make a business trip, I lose money. It's all because of these guys."

"This is the governor appointed by the kingdom himself. If he is killed like this, what will happen to the Valley of Fire?"

Some people felt incredible when they saw Elfino being executed, while merchants and some officials who had been oppressed and deprived by goblins applauded.

But some people have expressed concerns about this. This fairy giant is a practical person. In terms of corruption and bribery, she may have received a lot of money, but she also did a lot of things.

After she left, all the affairs she was in charge of became a mess. So, who would take over next? We can't just ignore it!

No matter what changes will happen later, at this moment, in this trial venue, the atmosphere was pushed to a climax as the Governor of the Valley of Fire was executed, and most of the remaining goblins who were detained did not escape the fate of being executed and beheaded.

With the execution and beheading of the last great goblin, the trial came to an end, but anyone with a little political sense knew that this was just the beginning.

Although this trial executed a total of three dragon fairies including the fairy giant, and more than 300 big fairies, the fairies all ended in such a miserable way. How could the officials and nobles who were involved with them expect to have a good life?

The purge against them will only become more severe and cruel, and a political storm sweeping across the entire Holy Dragon Territory is about to come.

At this moment, no matter which official or nobleman, they couldn't help but feel nervous. Being honest and upright, and enforcing the law impartially are easy to say, but to really do them is another matter.

Who dares to say that he has not engaged in corruption or bribery, or violated the Golden Dragon Code during his tenure? No official or noble can guarantee that he is clean, so no one can remain calm after knowing that all the goblins have been executed and cleansed.

"Your Highness Noah!"

No matter how the outside world discusses this unique goblin trial, Sifrea, who presided over the trial, has already come to the Ten Thousand Dragons Hall with her purge results to report to Noah.

"Sif, you're still not cruel enough!"

Noah, who had been paying close attention to the whole process, couldn't help but sigh when he saw the fairy head being presented to him by his follower below.

Noah was still somewhat amazed at Sifrea, who had the guts to destroy the privilege of not killing fairies.

Not everyone has such courage. To some extent, this is a confrontation with one's own ethnic group. Such an action will offend countless fellow ethnic groups and will cause much criticism.

But Sifrea still made up her mind to do it, but she didn't do it thoroughly, because when facing her old friend, she still couldn't make up her mind.

"Your Highness Noah, it turns out that everything I have done has always been wrong in your eyes!"

The head brought back by Sifrea spoke, his words full of bitterness. Although only a head was left, for a creature in the ultimate realm, such an injury was extremely serious, but not fatal.

Of course, if the head is not replaced in time, the final outcome will still be death.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness. I think that Elfino is your relative and I do not have the right to decide his life or death. Therefore, it should be decided by you, and I should not overstep my authority."

Half-kneeling on one knee, Shivreya answered respectfully.

Her words were full of respect, and even Noah could not find any fault with them, but anyone could see her intentions; she did not want her good friend to die like this.

Although Sifrea seemed cold and ruthless, and could kill people with iron-blooded means at critical moments, she was unable to be truly fair. The lives of the fairies were still different in her eyes.

"Your Highness, please grant me death."

Finding out that the path he had chosen was wrong and even a misguided one, and comparing himself with his friends, Alfino discovered how vulnerable he was, and became disheartened and asked for death.

"Death is the most incompetent and useless punishment. Since Xifuleya chose to bring you back, I choose to respect her decision. After all, this is my future Fairy Queen."

Noah was very satisfied with Shifraya's killing spree.

The privileges he had granted to the goblins were gone. The goblins chose to abandon them, not because the Holy Dragon, the Holy Dragon, had taken them back out of spite.

Therefore, Noah was in a very good mood now, and he didn't care that Sifrea let go of a dragon fairy, it was no big deal.
"However, all the honors, positions, and property you have previously obtained will be taken away from you. Your only identity from now on is that of a dependent of mine, and the only place you can go is the demiplane. You will not be able to appear in public."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift!"

Thus, the Governor of the Valley of Fire, who was once a powerful figure in the political arena of the Kingdom of Atlas and had a territorial hold in the Holy Dragon Territory, was killed.

There is no more fairy named Elfino in this world, but there is a dragon fairy servant with a dragon bone mask on his face in the Holy Dragon's palace.

With this mysterious and extraordinary dragon fairy as the core, a guard called the Wanfa Dragon Guard began to be formed. The lowest recruitment threshold is a dragon fairy. More detailed requirements are to master one to nine-ring energy-shaping spells, and it would be best if they can master the ultimate meaning of the law.

This is destined to be a guard with extremely small numbers of members, but since they serve the Holy Dragon, their high standards are understandable.

Just when the Ten Thousand Dragon Palace was enjoying peace and tranquility, a storm that had been brewing for a long time began to sweep across Noah's territory.

Its characteristic feature is that the holy warriors who were traveling all over the continent of Zealandia began to gather collectively in the city of Elishim.

These holy warriors have basically obtained the official status of Holy Dragon Inspector, which was granted by Sifrea herself who walked to the stage.
