Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 336: Foster mother asks for help, bad news from hell

"Talros? This is the country you are going to establish?"

Noah looked down at his offspring. Over the past few years, he had been paying attention to the actions of these two offspring. He paid attention to every battle they participated in and led.

He did not plant spies in the Dragon Legion, nor did he spy with the power of words. Instead, he learned about the progress of his descendants in the continent of Alvis through the causal feedback of the golden tree.

These are his children. The dragons they lead are also his lower-level followers, and the dragon lords who assist them are his followers.

Every participant in this war has a relationship with him, whether deep or shallow. Therefore, Noah can understand every war they have started under the roots of the golden tree and get constant feedback.

The blood-source fruits hanging on the golden branches were the feedback Noah received, because this war of conquest was closely related to him.

"Yes, Father."

Elijah said respectfully.

The image of his father has never changed in his heart: powerful, mysterious, solemn, unfathomable, and insurmountable. Even now, the more he grows, the more he can feel his father's power and some incomprehensible characteristics.

"What have you gained from this war?"

Noah looked at his eldest son with some curiosity, because he found that before the war, this eldest son was a staunch opponent of the war and a pacifist.

But when he was forced into war by the Dragon Legion, he turned into a ruthless and cruel butcher.

"I expanded the territory and broke ..."

"I'm not interested in hearing this. I'm talking about your own gains, not the expansion of your territory. I already know this."

"Have you understood?"

Eliade was startled.

"What? Do you think I would ignore you and your brother?"

"Of course not, but I didn't expect you to pay so much attention to it."

"Of course, I am not only paying attention to it, but I also really want to know what you, who led a war, think of it now."

"Father, I do have a different view of war now. My previous understanding and view of war was too one-sided."

"Tell me."

"I have tried to solve problems through peaceful means such as dialogue and negotiation, but I found that no matter what efforts I made, these problems were never really solved. But war can solve these problems. It is simple and effective."

A rather strange light flashed in Eliade's eyes. His gaze was like that of a naughty child who had discovered something new. After the first attempt, he was not satisfied but became even more interested.

“War is not useless, nor is it evil. It is like a storm. It destroys everything, but it also brings new life.

Greedy nobles, corrupt bureaucrats, uneven wealth, scarce resources... These problems are stubborn problems that are difficult to solve by peaceful means, but war can easily dissect and solve them. "

"Interesting. Now that you have tasted the sweetness of war, do you think you can still control yourself?"

Noah asked with great interest. This was what he wanted to know most. Living things have dependence, especially after tasting sweetness.

"Father, I have not changed because of this war. I still believe that peace is precious. Although war is not evil, we must use it with caution.

However, if the only way to peace is war, then I will never retreat and refuse it. I will use it to destroy all the old order and build a new order on it. "

"Use war methods with caution? That's a good point, but do you think you can do it now?"

Noah's gaze passed over his descendants, looked outside the palace gate, and fell on the city of Ilyium. Everything in this city was reflected in the dazzling golden eyes of this ancestral golden dragon.

He has noticed the changes in the thinking of his subjects. Over the past one hundred years, these people of the Holy Dragon, whose bloodlines have been optimized generation after generation, have not realized the gap between them and the outside world. They enjoy a harmonious and beautiful life in the order created by Noah, and do not have much yearning and pursuit for the outside world.

The reason why there are not many is because their past cognitions have bound them, and also because of the strict screening standards when Noah formed the legion, which suppressed the ideas of many dragon people.

The strict standards that Noah set for forming a legion and the rounds of screening really hit the self-confidence of many dragon people, causing them to not have too much ambition and live in the city of Elishim in peace and stability.

Although some dragon people have gone out and experienced adventures in the outside world and realized their own strength and excellence, they are ultimately only a very small minority. Compared with the huge group of dragon people in the city of Elishim, they are not even a fraction.

But now it is different. The cognitive barriers of the dragon people have been shattered and the obstacles have been broken along with this cross-sea war to aid the descendants of the Holy Dragon.

Not to mention the dragon families in the city of Elishim who were waiting for news, even the dragons who were eager to gain glory, to change their destiny, and to have different things had never thought that they could gain so many benefits through war.

Eliad's clear rewards and punishments were a huge stimulation to the dragon people, because these dragon people did not have enough understanding of themselves and did not have high expectations of themselves, so when Eliad rewarded them according to the standards for ordinary humans, the dragon people immediately fell into a state of fanaticism.

You know, a team of several dragon citizens can capture a seemingly solid aristocratic fortress. The swords of ordinary professionals and city defense weapons without enchanted damage can hardly break their scales. The spells of low-level wizards can be directly immune to these dragons whose bloodlines have been optimized for nearly ten generations.

It is no exaggeration to say that every dragon man is a walking siege chariot. For feudal nobles in small and medium-sized places who do not possess high-end extraordinary combat power, one dragon man is enough to deal a devastating blow to them.

The city fortress, which is a reflection of their status and the basis for their survival, is like a joke to the dragon people. The lord guards that they have built at the cost of a lot of their wealth are even more vulnerable when facing the dragon people.

In short, the dragon people who came out of the city of Elishim, even if they had only undergone simple military training, could form a dimensionality reduction attack on the local small and medium-sized nobles.

In war after war, these dragons, who originally lacked self-awareness and self-confidence, quickly established the status they deserved in the outside world.

When this news reached Elishim, it directly stimulated the ordinary dragon citizens who were originally content with poverty, and made the largest group of dragons eager to make a move. Ambition and ability often promote each other. Strong ambition can make a creature actively improve its ability, and stronger ability will breed greater ambition.

Many dragons who have lived an ordinary life will have some ideas when they find out that they are not as bad as they imagined and can achieve greater success in the outside world.

After all, not many intelligent creatures are willing to be ordinary. Most of the time, they have no choice but to adapt to being ordinary. When they find that they can become famous and dominate a region, how many people can still be content with being ordinary?
This is why Noah asked his eldest son. Many things cannot be said just by words, but depend on whether they can be actually done.

Talking to a group of dragon people who have already tasted the fruits of war, as well as a hundred times more dragon people who are eager to taste the fruits, he said that war should be used with caution.

Excuse me, who can agree?
Noah would not go against the wishes of his subjects at such a moment, even if he had the power to reverse and suppress everything.

The beast of war has been unleashed, and until it is fed and watered, it will not stop unless it is completely destroyed.

As for the offspring who tried to control this war beast, Noah could only say that he was courageous. Of course, he would not stop him, but would let him try. Anyway, the final result was certain. No one except him could control this beast.

Noah did not intend to control because he believed that there was no need to control. His territory should indeed be expanded, not to the wild lands that required long-term management to have stable output, but to the civilized lands where the order had long been corrupted.

The transformation and growth of dragon people cannot be maintained by eating air. Although the free elements in the atmosphere can also meet part of the consumption, the main source of consumption is still through the intake of meat, eggs, milk and other substances in reality.

The dragon people in the city of Elishim are being optimized generation after generation, which means that each generation of dragon people has stronger material needs than the previous generation. In addition, the lifespan of dragon people is extended, and their number is increasing day by day. If there is no expansion, the city of Elishim will really explode.

Therefore, the current situation can be said to be caused by Noah's intentional or unintentional guidance. Not to mention that Noah rarely intervenes, simply letting things take their course is enough to prove his attitude.

"I know what you mean, but I will try my best to lead the dragon people on the continent of Alvis and put them on the right path."

"Then I'll wait and see."

Nuoyan did not comment on his offspring's remarks.

There is no one who doesn't want to experience the feeling of being superior to others, especially the lower-class dragon people in the city of Elishim. All they need to do is very simple, just go out, so the large-scale outing of the dragon people is a foregone conclusion.

However, traveling across the ocean to the Alvis continent to join the two sons of the Holy Dragon is only one option. You can also choose to enter the neighboring Atlas Kingdom and join the royal knights. Although the threshold is still not low, it is much less demanding than the Holy Dragon's regiment.

In addition, you can also choose to go to the southern countries of the continent, or to the west. The continent of Zealandia is vast enough to accommodate the ambitions of the dragon people at this stage.

For those dragons who choose to go out, every achievement they make in their pioneering work in the outside world will bring feedback to Noah.

Holy Dragon Noah watched with satisfaction as his proactive and enterprising subjects, feeling genuinely pleased and happy for every achievement they made.

"You are worthy of being my subject!"

Looking at the golden tree laden with fruits, the 203-year-old ancestor dragon Noah sighed with pride. However, when he saw the abundant fruits on the tree, Noah also sighed.
"I don't know when I'll be able to fall asleep!"

According to Noah's deduction of his own age group, even as an ancestral dragon, he will enter adulthood at around two hundred years old and transform into an adult ancestral golden dragon, truly reaching the peak of his dragon life.

However, things went against his wishes. The actual development deviated from Noah's speculation. Even though he had passed his 200th birthday, he did not feel sleepy at all, and there was no sign of entering a sleeping period.

"Could it be that my bloodline is better than I expected, so my adulthood will come later?"

Just as Noah was re-speculating and silently waiting for the transformation to the peak of his dragon life, his adoptive mother Selina, who was usually hard to find, appeared before him in a manner that Noah had never seen before.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

The complexion of the girl in front of him was really terrible. For a legendary wizard, such an attitude was inappropriate. It was like a wizard who was extremely decadent, self-abandoned, and about to self-destruct.

For a spellcaster, this state is not uncommon, especially for those mages who live in the laboratory for a long time. Once the research project gets into trouble and it is difficult to find a way out and the crux of the problem cannot be found, they will enter such a bad state.

But it is obvious that the poor condition of the adoptive mother Selina was not caused by any experimental project, because the first thing she asked when she saw Noah was,
"Can you contact the Dragon King who favored you?"

“I can’t get in touch.”

Noah was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. He wanted to see the Dragon King who forged the stars again, but there was really no chance. The reason he was able to see him that time was not because of the support provided by the golden tree, but because of the mysterious attraction brought by his blood. Noah could not replicate it even if he wanted to.

"Really? I have something very important to do."

Serena's expression revealed an anxiety that Noah had never seen before.

"The problem you've encountered can't only be solved by the Dragon King, right?"

Noah's expression was a little subtle, he probably guessed it.

"Yes, so if you can contact the Dragon King, then don't hide it anymore."

Selina stared at Noah blankly, like a drowning person who saw a life-saving straw.
"I can pay a reward that would satisfy even the Dragon King."

"But I really didn't."

"The Dragon God can also do that."

“…I don’t know a single Dragon God.”

Noah said helplessly.

"Noah, Cassius, something's happened to him, the will of hell is corroding him!"
