Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 73 Supreme Archon

Chapter 73 Supreme Archon
"My father asked me to take charge of all affairs in the city of Elishim."

After hearing the news from the young man who came up the mountain, Noah couldn't help but cheer.

"This is a good thing!"

"What's good? Do you know how many people are there in Elishim City now?"

The young man looked sad.

"How many?"

Noah, who had been staying on the mountain and had not come down since the invasion of the Underdark, asked.

"The permanent population is already over 1.1 million, and there are around 50,000 mobile merchants and adventurers, not counting some slaves."

"This is too vague, isn't it possible to be more specific?"

Noah was not satisfied with this number.

"It's good that we can estimate it. These data are still estimated based on the population tax and city entry tax collected. The part that is omitted cannot be calculated at all."

Tidel sighed.

"Now, a city of this size is handed over to me, and I am asked to be the governor. Even though it is temporary, it is too difficult."

"What's so difficult about this? Just follow the procedures. How did the city operate before? Just continue to maintain the original order."

Noah said shrug.

"It's not that simple. Did you know that along with this transfer order comes a conscription order? Half of the six original garrisoned knights will be withdrawn, and a large number of elite reserve forces will also be taken away.

Starting tomorrow, there will only be three knight orders left in the city of Elisim, as well as less than two thousand squires and trainee knights who have just mastered the breathing technique. "

The young man has worry written all over his face.

"Is there something wrong in the Valley of Fire again?"

Noah was shocked and more concerned about the situation on the front line.

"No, it will remain as it is. However, my mother plans to build five more fortresses in that area and mobilize the Knights to prepare for the construction of the city."

“That’s crazy!”

Jin Long couldn't help but be stunned. Even from the perspective of an immortal species, such behavior and actions could be called crazy. That place was a wild area and many supplies could only be transported through a teleportation array.

"My father agreed."

"That's okay."

If even the strongest fighter thinks there is no problem, then of course there is no problem. Perhaps many problems can be solved by going to the Valley of Fire that connects to the Underdark.

However, with such extravagance on the front line, life in the rear was naturally tight, which was why the young man went up the mountain to look for the golden dragon with a sad face.

"Noah, you must help me. I can't manage Elishim by myself."

"Wait a minute, your Dragon Knights should not have been drawn away, right?"

"No."

"What about Edith? You're not looking for her?"

"She is taking the Griffin Knights to the Valley of Fire, so I can only ask you for help now."

The young man took a few steps closer, his eyes full of pleading. In order to maintain the operation and order of the city, it is necessary to maintain a sufficient scale of violent armed forces.

The withdrawal of a large number of knights could easily cause problems with the city's order, a surge in crime rates, and even chaos and riots.

Now, in the territory of Augustus, the only one with extra combat power is the golden dragon living in the mountains, and he also has many cloud giants under his command.

Although all the adult cloud giants were transferred to the Valley of Fire, the remaining female giants and underage cloud giants were more than enough to defend the city and maintain city order.

"How do you want me to help you?" Noah also figured it out. His foster mother's appointment probably took him into account. How could this wizard, who was burning with the flames of revenge, let go of such conspicuous idle combat power under his command? Of course, he would use it.

"You agree? This is very easy. You just need to lead the giant down the mountain. Compared with the knight, the giant is more intimidating."

After so many years of honing his skills, Teddel is certainly not completely useless. His mediocrity is only relative to his parents and wife. In fact, if we look at the vast base of the human population, his talent is at least one in a thousand.

"You have arranged everything. What else do I have to say? Just follow your plan."

Noah naturally didn't care about sending giants to the battlefield. It was just about maintaining order in the city, which even young cloud giants could do.

So, when the sun rose again from the mountains in the east, the residents of the city of Elishim were somewhat surprised to see the giant walking towards the morning glow, with heavy steps, and roaring forward on the streets.

Although there were griffins flying overhead and dragons roaring with their heads held high, compared with the cloud giants, the presence of these monsters was pitifully small.

The giants' entry into the city's defenses was extremely shocking, and for the entire day, the topic and focus of discussion in the entire city were all about the giants, so much so that few people noticed that several main knight groups in the city had disappeared.

Even if some people with sharp attention noticed it, looking at the giants patrolling back and forth on the main roads of the city, and the griffins and dragon riders flying low overhead, they all remained silent and did not make any moves. Humans might use verbal warnings, but monsters certainly would not reason with people.

"What? I've sent out all the Titans that can move, and you still want to keep me here too?"

Noah looked at the young man in front of him with a seemingly honest smile, with an unfriendly look.

He followed the giant down the mountain and strolled quietly around the city. He was about to go back, but this guy stopped him from leaving.

"Noah, now that you're here, why are you going back? It's so lonely in the mountains!"

"I'm used to it."

"Noah, since you have already helped me, why not help me to the end? I still have a lot of documents here, let's deal with them together!"

Teddel's face was gloomy. He had already witnessed Jin Long's talent and wisdom, so he would not let this guy go no matter what he said today.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

There was a strange look in Noah's eyes.

"of course I know."

"You now hold the highest ruling authority in Elishim. You asked me to help you handle administrative documents. If my handling opinions are inconsistent with yours, what are you going to do?"

Jin Long asked.

"We can discuss it. If you are more correct than me, then of course I will listen to you."

The young man looked as if it was a matter of course, not feeling that there was anything wrong with his words.

“You want to share your authority with me?”

The strange look in the golden dragon's eyes became more intense.

"Haha, you're being too serious. But if I have to be serious, this is what I think."

Teddle laughed, seemingly without even thinking about it.

"I'm just a young dragon."

"But you are a golden dragon."

"I'm about to go into a deep sleep, so I won't be able to help you for long."

"I'll help you as long as I can. We'll talk about it after your sleep period."

The young man showed some ruffian spirit and seemed a bit scoundrel.
