Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 367 Only War, Only Revenge

"Your Majesty Noah!"

The leader of the Wanfa Dragon Guard, who was covered in golden armor, knelt on one knee in front of Noah. The aura she exuded was no weaker than that of the two new fairy queens.

But unlike the two queens, she did not have an elemental crown on her head, and her appearance did not look much different from other dragon fairies.

"Want to get your name back?"

Noah looked down at the legendary fairy in front of him. She was actually the same as the two fairy queens. After her promotion, her dragon veins were further strengthened.

However, after being promoted to legends, the blood in the bodies of the three fairies differentiated, giving them dual forms. In fairy form, they are the legendary fairy queens who can sense the rhythm of all things and control the growth of plants.

But in the dragon form, the degree of change in shape and size is particularly exaggerated. It completely loses the fairy form and transforms into a dragon form, just like a prince who failed to accept inheritance and turned into a dragon.

However, these three fairies did not fail, this was just a manifestation of their advancement in life rank. Of course, they could also retain a composite form similar to the dragon fairy, as seen before them.

"I am your most loyal dragon guard. I don't need a name."

This was the answer from the Dragon Guard leader.

"Good answer. Are you afraid of war?"

Noah couldn't help laughing. After being ravaged, this former goblin giant has become much more pragmatic. Of course, more importantly, after being with him for a long time over the years, he has also personally experienced the benefits.

The so-called name is not important at all. As for power, after you have enough strength, it is something you can have at any time. It is not worth putting all your effort and energy into it.

"I'm always ready to fight for you!"

The goblin raised his head, and under the golden armor, his golden eyes shone brighter than the sun. His tone was sonorous and powerful, with a sense of determination.

The Dragon Palace's chief steward, Lutizia, and the Fire Governor, Sifrea, felt ashamed and blamed themselves for being in a dormant transformation when the Holy Dragon Noah was attacked.

As the leader of the Dragon Guards, she felt even more self-blame and guilt than them. Her duty was to protect His Majesty, but in the end, she and all the Dragon Guards under her command were of no use at all.

Instead, the power that can protect His Majesty Noah needs to devote extra energy to protecting their cocoons from being damaged during their evolution.

What a shame this is! It cannot be erased, it can only be washed away with blood.

"I am declaring war on the theocracy of a god."

"Your Majesty, please allow the Wanfa Dragon Guard to be the vanguard. We will be the sharpest blade of revenge in your hands!"

The moment Noah finished speaking, the Dragon Guard commander volunteered to fight.

This is not only her own wish, nor is it just the need of the Wanfa Dragon Guards, but also the collective demand of all fairies.

The leader was assassinated, and the goblin group was collectively asleep, failing to play any role. This dereliction of duty and humiliation can only be compensated by war, blood and death.

"The recruitment threshold for the Wanfa Dragon Guard remains unchanged. Only dragon fairies who are proficient in one to nine-ring Shaping spells can become one of you."

Noah certainly knew about the war mood among the goblin group. In fact, after every goblin awakened during evolution, they were first confused and then exploded.

The palace that used to symbolize the majesty and glory of His Majesty the Holy Dragon turned into ruins after they woke up. They didn't even know what had happened, they only knew that a powerful enemy had attacked His Majesty.

These emotions of confusion, anger, uneasiness, and panic, after learning that the gods were the masterminds behind the attack on His Majesty, all turned into a desire for war to seek revenge against the gods.

The eternal and immortal gods are indeed worthy of awe, and no one can deny their greatness and power. In the past, the goblins would also show enough respect when they met the priests of the gods.

However, when the gods show murderous intent and evil thoughts towards the Holy Dragon Majesty they follow, as their followers, they will also show the proper attitude.

So what about gods?

Are gods immortal?
Are the gods truly immortal?
Are the number of fallen gods in this world not enough? After today, won't there be more fallen gods?
It was because of the fairy's emotion that Noah summoned the leader of the Dragon Guard to ask questions. However, he knew that as long as he gave the order, the size of the Wanfa Dragon Guard would definitely expand rapidly.

Therefore, Noah asked the leader to strictly observe the entry threshold and not to participate in this war if he was not a dragon or a fairy. This was a war that would definitely lead to the advent of gods.

No god will sit idly by and watch his own religious state perish. When a religious state is destroyed, a god will surely descend. Apart from taking the form of a saint, the god will use any means to maintain his faith among the secular world.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When the leader of the All-Powerful Dragon Guard left and conveyed the order to the dragon goblins to prepare for war, Noah stared at the ruins of his palace for a long time, and then looked up at the sky.

The palace he built on the top of Mount Orpheus was shrouded in clouds and mist above the mountains, but because Noah built it based on his own body, such a huge palace complex could be seen from time to time even in the city of Elishim outside the mountain.

But now, a curtain has descended above the ruins of his palace, covering everything here. The outside world cannot peek into the truth of this place and can only see false illusions.

This was also the work of Archangel Ophelia. She knew how terrible the impact would be if the Holy Dragon's subjects in the outside world saw the place where the Holy Dragon was sleeping reduced to ruins before Noah woke up.

Not only would there be a risk of order collapsing, but the dragon people, whose belief in the Holy Dragon is no less devout than that of the gods, would form a legion and, without the guidance of Noah, initiate a reckoning against the believers of the gods.

The consequences were so terrible that the angels covered everything and waited until Noah woke up, then he would guide his believing subjects himself.

Now, a choice that affects the fate of tens of millions, or even billions, of lives has fallen into Noah's hands. Peace and war depend on the curtain above his head that maintains the false illusion.

As long as Noah destroys this curtain and displays the ruins of his palace to his people, letting the people of the Holy Dragon Land know that their Majesty the Holy Dragon was targeted and assassinated by certain gods while he was sleeping, revenge will surely arise and prevail.

The social atmosphere of the entire Holy Dragon Land will inevitably turn into a war mode. Although the martial spirit has become increasingly strong and the concept of conquest has become more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people after the advent of the overseas colonial era, all of this is not as great as the impact of the assassination of Holy Dragon Noah. Revenge wars are different from colonial conquest wars. Conquest wars are essentially for the purpose of gaining benefits. Once the gains and losses are found to be unequal, then wars will not occur.

But revenge is different. It will be launched when the strength of both sides is equal. The purpose of revenge is only to wash away the humiliation and give death and blood to the enemy. In response, even if this will bring equal harm to oneself, it will not hesitate to perish together with the enemy.

Noah has already smelled the scent of war and death. How will his subjects react when they learn that he has been assassinated?
War will inevitably come with the lifting of this heavy curtain, and reckoning and revenge on the gods will become the mainstream and the only correct thing to do.

But after war and death, there is another choice, which is to maintain this false curtain, keep the false illusion, and preserve the false peace. This will allow the prosperity of the Holy Dragon Land to continue.

It's just that he has to ignore the damage caused to him by the gods, because no matter how strong Noah is now, it is impossible for him to settle accounts with so many gods by himself.

It is even more impossible for him to leave the material world and attack the gods outside the world. The only ones he can target are the devout believers who provide the immortal foundation for the gods.

Faith never dies, gods never die

"Ah!"

Noah chuckled, stretched out his dragon claws, and tore apart the false curtain that was so thin that it was not even as thin as paper to him, revealing everything on the top of the Orpheus Mountains to the outside world.

Does he have any other choice besides war?
The sharp blades of the gods were already on his neck, and he still wanted to play dumb? Maintaining peace, what kind of peace is this? It's so fake that it's ridiculous.

Even the thugs hanging around on the streets know that when someone wants to bully you, if you want to avoid being beaten or bullied in the future, you must fight back with your fists. No matter how many people there are on the other side or how hard their fists are, as long as you dare to fight back, they will be cautious and restrained.

Otherwise, if you remain silent, swallow your anger in the face of humiliation and bullying, then the other party will never restrain themselves, but will only become more and more aggressive until they destroy everything you have, until you are no longer worth plundering or bullying.

When the threat of the gods approached, it was not only Noah who rose up in resistance, but also the people of the Holy Dragon who had benefited from his favor for nearly three hundred years. The only option left was war.

The order of the Holy Dragon Land is based on Noah's will. Once something goes wrong with Noah, everything will collapse.

The noble people of the Holy Dragon, compulsory education, pension system, relief system, economic prosperity and prosperity, all the beautiful things built on the Holy Dragon will be wiped out.

Therefore, at the moment Noah was assassinated, all the people of the Holy Dragon, who had benefited and enjoyed the welfare under the order established by Noah, had the responsibility and obligation to take revenge on the gods.

When one suffers, all suffer; when one prospers, all prosper.

When Noah was regarded as an enemy of the gods, his relatives, subjects and followers, everything related to him, were all enemies of the gods.

"Noah, hey~"

The angel who was watching secretly couldn't help but sigh when she found that the awakened ancestral golden dragon only paused for a moment before destroying the illusion she had created.

Because she knew that this land was about to slide into the abyss of war. This ideal place might no longer be the utopia in many people's minds, but would be transformed into a terrible monster of war.

But the angel only sighed and did not make any intervention. No matter because of her identity, status or position, she had no reason to stop an assassinated ruler from taking revenge, not to mention that this monarch was her partner. She had even less reason to stop it.

Not only can she not stop it, she also needs to step down and stand firmly with her partner. In this situation, any neutrality, especially neutrality maintained as a partner, is a shameful betrayal.

The Seraphim of Heaven would never betray anyone, especially her partner. This was the choice she made at the beginning, even if they had not entered into a formal marriage relationship.

"Where do you plan to lead your people next?"

Along with the angel's sigh, the residents of the many mountain cities built in the Orpheus Mountains were the first to notice the abnormality on the top of the mountains, followed by the residents of the city of Elishim.

"Is that the residence of His Majesty the Holy Dragon? How did it become like this? Why is it in ruins?"

"What happened? Are my eyes blurry?"

"Is that His Majesty the Holy Dragon? Why has His Majesty's palace become like this?"

"Who is kidding me? How dare you deceive me? This is not funny at all. Damn it, stand up right here!"

"Who dares to humiliate His Majesty the Holy Dragon?"

At first, many people expressed doubt about what they saw, and many even suspected that there was something wrong with their eyes.

After all, the palace hidden among the mountains was still intact the moment before, but turned into ruins in the blink of an eye. How could this not make people question it?
Some people even suspected that some powerful spellcaster was playing some extremely bad prank. Many extraordinary people angrily picked up their weapons, ready to find the guy who dared to blaspheme the majesty of His Majesty the Holy Dragon, to teach him a lesson and let him know that not every joke can be played.

However, as time passed, especially after seeing the golden dragon perched on the ruins begin to move, summoning many powerful beings that broke through space and descended hurriedly.

The residents of the mountain city in the Orpheus Mountains and many people in the city of Elishim gradually realized that what they saw was not an illusion, but reality. The golden dragon was the golden sun they revered, the holy dragon Noah.

"Can anyone tell me what happened?"

"Isn't His Majesty asleep? Why is there a ruin there?"

"Damn it, there must be something going on that we don't understand."

"What we are seeing now is the real scene, so what did we see originally? An illusion? What is real? What is fake? Who can help me to distinguish them?"

"The ruins definitely did not appear just now. They should have appeared a long time ago. It's just that His Majesty the Holy Dragon had not yet awakened at that time, so someone covered up the truth and waited for His Majesty to wake up."

When the goblins began to walk out from the tops of the mountains and enter the major cities, no one discussed the debate about whether the Holy Dragon's residence turned into ruins was true or not. It was real.
