Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 300: The weather is cold, I suggest you put on the royal robe
"This is?"

Marshal Elvin looked in astonishment at the corpse of the beast dragon falling from the sky and crashing into the fortress, as well as the bodies of several orc knights who had died in extremely miserable ways, and suddenly raised his head to the sky.

A golden dragon shadow that could not be concealed even by thick fog was gradually emerging along with the vibrations of time and space.

Although the huge winding dragon shadow did not cast any shadow downwards, the oppression it brought and the dragon's might that permeated silently made the entire fortress fall into silence.

Even the veteran soldiers who had been tempered in hundreds of battles with orcs couldn't help but stop and stare blankly at the sky above their heads, their bodies shaking unconsciously.

It was not their will that was afraid, but the instinct of their flesh and blood. When facing the existence that truly stood at the top of the material world, they instinctively felt fear and trembling, wanting to crawl on the ground and express the highest respect to it from the depths of their souls.

"Your friends?"

He did not sense any hostility, and could also sense the other party's goodwill in restraining their strength and not wanting to cause too much disturbance. Therefore, Marshal Erwin looked at the Golden Dragon couple, whose faces were no less shocked than his.

“…Probably not.”

Angelis was silent for a while, then carefully considered his words and denied the human marshal's inquiry.

"I do not know."

Compared to her partner, Ortheya simply shook her head.

This middle-aged golden dragon, who possesses powerful spellcasting power and is usually known for his calm and rationality, now has a look of great confusion and bewilderment in his eyes.

She felt something, but the content of the perception feedback was so different from her cognition that she didn't dare to confirm it at all.

The Golden Dragon Mage even suspected that he was trapped in some kind of illusion, and whether there was a high priest on the orc side who was favored by the gods or blessed by the ancestors.

"Isn't this your dragon clan?"

Marshal Elvin was a little bit incredulous. Although he could only see scales and claws occasionally in the rolling clouds, the golden dragon scales clearly showed the racial identity of the existence that came across time and space. But now, the two golden dragons in front of them actually claimed that they didn't know them.

"It is indeed a dragon, but we are not sure of his identity."

Angelis looked at his wife, and when he saw his partner shaking her head at him, he had to explain to the human marshal in front of him.

He also felt some familiar aura, but precisely because of the familiarity, he didn't dare to confirm it. He would rather suspect that his perception was wrong than make such an absurd judgment.

The other party is such a tall and powerful being, how could he have such a blood connection with him? It's impossible no matter how you think about it.

"Father, mother, have you become so unfamiliar with me that you actually said you don't know me in front of me? This makes me very sad."

The huge dragon shadow surging in the clouds had disappeared at some point, and instead, a handsome and tall dragon man appeared on the city wall, looking at the stunned, bewildered, and even more at a loss golden dragon couple with disappointed faces.

"Noah?!"

The couple called out in unison the name of the young dragon man in front of them, whose figure was similar to theirs but whose aura was like the ancient sacred mountain that had stood here since the beginning of the world. He gave them an endless feeling of oppression.

"Didn't you say you didn't know him?"

Marshal Erwin's muscles were unconsciously tense, but he forced a smile on his face. He looked at the two helpless Golden Dragon couple, his face also full of confusion.

Looking at the appearance of this Golden Dragon couple, it seems that they are not very familiar with their own son, but this is not the most outrageous thing. The most outrageous thing is that they are obviously a family, why is there such a big gap in strength between the parents and their offspring?

As a human legend, Marshal Elvin could feel the power of the two golden dragons in front of him. Although they were not legends, they had no problem mediating with the legends of the humanoid race.

This is the superiority of racial bloodline. Therefore, they usually get along with each other as peers. But now, Marshal Elvin looked at the offspring of the Golden Dragon couple and felt that he could only look up to them and had no qualifications to have an equal dialogue with them.

"Maybe it's because they've been apart from me for too long, and I've changed a lot, so they feel a little strange about me!"

Noah glanced at Legend, who had a look of surprise and confusion on his face, but deep in his eyes there was great vigilance and alertness, and explained with a smile.

"Are you really Noah? How is this possible? How did you become like this?"

It was not until this time that Angelis came to his senses and looked at the young dragon man in front of him with surprise and admiration. The pair of glorious dragon wings behind him, which he was particularly familiar with, also confirmed the idea that he had not dared to confirm just now.

"Noah, have you successfully returned to your ancestral home?"

Compared to the dragon father who was shouting and screaming, almost losing control of himself with excitement, the dragon mother, Orthea, seemed much calmer, and even boldly speculated why Noah had changed so much that they, as parents, dared not recognize him.

"Yes, I successfully transformed into an ancestral dragon a long time ago."

Noah opened his arms and calmly accepted the scrutiny of his parents, feeling their surprise, admiration, joy, relief and many other complex looks.

"You really are Zudailong. It's incredible that you can make it this far."

As a mother, Orthea was also amazed to hear that her guess was confirmed.

"Which majesty has favored you? You are so lucky!"

As for Angelis's exclamation, it made Noah's high spirits darken a little. As always, he performed well.

Ang~
roar-

Before the dragon couple could continue asking questions, roars and dragon shouts came from the sky above their heads.

The sea of ​​clouds and fog, which had just calmed down, became turbulent again. One after another, adult dragons of different colors swooped down from where the golden dragon shadow had just hovered.

"Dragons, lots of dragons!"

"The orcs' dragoons are coming."

The soldiers in the fortress soon became agitated by the arrival of the dragons. The threat from the sky put the war-torn fortress into a state of martial law. However, Marshal Erwin also reacted.

"Don't panic, don't get confused, stay calm, put down your weapons, and get away from the crossbow. This is a metal dragon!"

"These are our allies!" The panic in the fortress did not last long and was quickly driven away. After discovering that the descending dragons did not attack them, but instead each found a position to settle down, and confirming that these were their allies, all the soldiers felt an unprecedented joy and a fulfilling sense of security.

The sun gradually climbed to the horizon, and the thick white fog slowly dissipated in the sunlight. The orc army that had been gathering to the sound of horns and preparing to attack the city also gradually dispersed as the fog spread.

The orc commander truly felt the terrifying dragon power that permeated between heaven and earth. Not only did he feel it, but the many siege beasts prepared for the war were also crawling on the ground, trembling, and unwilling to move forward.

The orc camp, which had just been shrouded in fog and seemed extremely lively and noisy, was now plunged into an eerie silence.

Even the war beasts with low intelligence did not dare to make the slightest move, not to mention the orc warriors who had experienced many battles and had a keen sense of danger.

Although they fought bravely, they were not ignorant and fearless, rushing straight towards death. What they wanted was to gain victory and enjoy the enemy's wealth and wives and daughters, not to die in vain.

"Are these your followers?"

Even though it had been confirmed once, Angelis couldn't help but ask again.

"Yes, they are all my followers, dragon lords who are loyal to me and own their own lands."

Noah took the time to answer his father's questions and even gave further explanations.

"This is amazing, how did you do it?"

Angelis didn't know how many times he had expressed such admiration.

"For Zudailong, it is not difficult to do such a thing."

Noah responded.

"But you are too young now to have so many followers."

Not only Angelis, even the relatively calm Orthea was digesting the continuous shocking news.

Not only did they have to accept the fact that their offspring had been upgraded to become an ancestor dragon, they also had to accept the shocking fact that their offspring had hundreds of dragon lords loyal to him.

But the most important thing is that they have to accept the cruel fact that they can no longer provide any help to their children, even though their children are not yet adults.

Not to mention Noah himself, even the dragon lords who followed him might not be able to fight against them alone as they were mature golden dragons, but if three or five of them united, they could definitely contend with them.

Not to mention all of them, even if half of the dragon lords under Noah united, they would be able to gain an overwhelming advantage over them.

Although a middle-aged dragon is stronger than an adult dragon, it does not have an absolute advantage. Only after it is promoted to a legendary level will a gap that is difficult to cross appear.

"That's nothing. What I want to know more about now is the situation you are facing now."

Noah looked at the human marshal who didn't know what expression to make on his face.

Far more dragon reinforcements than expected have arrived, and this aid is powerful enough to reverse the final outcome of the battlefield.

But sadly, the country he belongs to has decided to surrender, and the dragon clan, as outsiders, cannot influence the decision made by His Majesty the King.

"I really appreciate your coming, but you are really too late."

Marshal Elwin sighed. If the dragon had arrived a year or two earlier, it might have changed the decision of the weak king. But now, the surrender document between his country and the Orc Alliance has probably been signed.

"late?"

A sneer appeared on Noah's face. He already understood the general situation of the fortress.

A military fortress that assembled most of the country's elite forces was actually abandoned by the country's rulers as one of the conditions for surrender. This is an absurd thing that only short-sighted and short-lived rulers could do.

"Yes, it is too late. You see, the King's messenger has arrived."

Marshal Erwin pointed his finger, and a string of black dots appeared in the sky behind the fortress, then gradually expanded. It was a group of giant eagles, and on the back of each giant eagle sat one to three humans.

When the giant eagle group arrived near the fortress, they circled in the sky and did not dare to land. This was because there were too many dragons gathered in the city. Even the giant eagle creatures that claimed that they could compete with the dragons for the sky were hesitant at this moment.

“Let them down!”

It was not until Noah's order that the giant eagles, under the control of their drivers, reluctantly landed in the fortress. However, after the humans on their backs came down, they could not wait to soar into the sky again, unwilling to stay in the city for a moment.
"Where is Erwin Goss?"

After the envoys who arrived on the eagle arranged their gorgeous and exquisite robes, they climbed up the city wall under the grim gazes of the dusty soldiers guarding the city. However, they did not care about the gazes of these lowly creatures at all. After climbing up the city wall, they shouted loudly,

"The King's order!"

"I am Erwin Goss. What orders did the king give?"

Even though he knew the answer in advance through some special channels, Erwin, as the commander at this moment, still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. What if?
"According to the order of His Majesty Frosir III, Marshal Erwin Gauss is dismissed from his post and all military-related positions, retaining only his noble title and title. Marquis Erwin Gauss is ordered to return to the capital immediately upon receiving the order without delay."

The king's messenger, who had fair skin and delicate makeup, read out the order with a smile, and then looked at Erwin with an expectant look.

"My Lord Marquis, this is the king's order, please!"

"I have no problem with removing me from my position, but who will take over the army?"

"Don't worry about that, Lord Marquis. Someone will naturally take over."

Erwin was silent for a moment, then spoke in a hoarse voice,
"Will humans still take over after me? Will it be orcs?"

"Elvin Goss, what do you want to do? Are you questioning the king's orders? What does it have to do with you who will take over from you? Do you still want to decide your own successor?"

"What's wrong?"

Noah, who was watching the show, couldn't help but interrupt. He looked at Marshal Erwin with a livid face,
"Why are you making that expression? Who are you showing it to? Since you are not satisfied with the decision of a bunch of losers, why don't you just do it yourself? You have the strength and military power, why do you have to be afraid of this kind of thing?"
