Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 76 Natural Fruits
"The fifth fruit!"

Noah stared at the green fruit that was emitting vitality with burning eyes. Even though the fruit was still in the gestation stage, the golden dragon already had an urge to swallow it impatiently.

Because the vitality contained in it is so abundant, but Noah restrained this irrational impulse very well, and instead waited patiently for the fruit to ripen.

As for the reason why this fruit was conceived, Noah cast his gaze towards the roots of the golden tree, and saw a group of undead souls being crushed by giants.

The creatures previously killed by the cloud giants under Noah's command would release a wisp of blood when they died, which was absorbed by the golden tree and condensed into blood source fruit.

But now the death of the undead has no blood, but instead turned into gray-black air and scattered. However, in the dark, there is a green air surging, forming the fifth fruit that Noah saw.

Noah vaguely sensed the source of the green air. The undead were neither living beings nor truly dead. They were between life and death, violating the laws of nature.

The large-scale elimination of the Undead will naturally be favored and rewarded by certain wills, but under normal circumstances, the favor of these wills will not be reflected, but the golden tree can extract it.

"We have to issue an order to supervise these giants."

Among the many scenes reflected by the golden tree, although there is a scene of cloud giants suppressing the undead, it can be seen that a considerable number of cloud giants are quite casual and lazy about this matter, or in other words, they are just giving up and doing it perfunctorily.

After all, the biggest threat to the Undead Army has been eliminated. Although there are still many intelligent high-level Undead among the remaining Undead, most of them are wandering in a certain area and even fighting with each other.

Therefore, the giants do not seem to be very active in the matter of clearing out the undead. Of course, another reason is that they are giants living in the mountains, and with their body size, it is really uncomfortable for them to enter the narrow and cramped underworld.

But Noah has already felt the sweetness brought by the destruction of the undead. Although he did not kill even the lowest-level skeleton soldier with his own hands, those giants were also sent out by him, so it makes no difference.

Therefore, after waking up, Noah gave a clear order to the giants that after the threat of the undead was eliminated, the giants could come back in batches and reunite with their wives, daughters and children.

Cloud giants are intelligent giants with strong emotions and a strong sense of family responsibility. They will still slack off if simply urged, but the temptation to go home will definitely play a positive guiding role.

The main reason why Noah gave this order was that it would not cause any harm to the giants. After all, there were not only giants, but also a large number of holy warriors and many knight orders coming to support them.

It's really a joke that such an organized and planned mopping-up campaign could result in casualties on the level of the Cloud Giant. His adoptive parents would have no face left.

However, having said that, compared to the initial outbreak of the Undead Plague, when his adoptive father Cassius used the power of the Titans to slay the ancient black dragon, the eradication of the remaining undead lasted for three full years.

This is also due to the factor of the underground races actively cooperating and assisting in the clearing. After all, the contradiction between the undead and the living is irreconcilable, and the space for survival and reproduction underground is also limited.

The undead disaster was declared over only when no more active high-level undead could be found in the explorable area deep underground.

On the same day that the undead scourge was lifted, the threat from the underground races was also lifted. More than a dozen underground clan leaders took the initiative to disarm, entered the fortress, pledged allegiance to the Augustus family, and were willing to offer regular tributes.

Grand Duke Augustus, the Holy Dragon Slayer Cassius accepted the surrender of many clans from the Underdark, and gave them many underground lands that had been ravaged by the undead, and re-divided the land for the clans to reproduce. This was a historic moment for the Augustus family and even the United Kingdom of Erestoria. As a short-lived race that reproduced on the earth, it was too rare for the vicious clans underground to voluntarily surrender.

Faced with the looting and invasion from the Underdark, there were many countries and even independent noble lords who successfully suppressed or even fought back.

However, even in the history books of the Immortal Race, there are only a handful of cases where the underground tribes lost their desire to attack and voluntarily surrendered.

"Will those old idiots die if they don't brag? What's the point of submitting to the Augustus family? They are just flattering themselves. How much does it have to do with humans?"

With a look of disdain on his face, Jin Long threw aside the front-line battle report in his hand that was full of glories and praise.

He believed that those underground clans who came to surrender were truly submitting. After all, his adoptive father had demonstrated his invincibility by being able to crush the ancient black dragon.

It is normal to succumb to force, after all, they have to survive and reproduce. But Noah believes that those underground clans not only succumbed to the force of their adoptive father, but also to the Titan posture he displayed.

That is the supreme and ancient bloodline. There is no humiliation in submitting to such bloodline. In other words, these underground clans are submitting to his adoptive father personally, not the Augustus family.

To be blunt, if his adoptive father was of pure human blood, even if he had legendary powers, the underground clan might have resolutely mobilized all available forces to fight the Augustus family to the end, instead of surrendering as simply as they did now.

“This is also a hidden danger!”

After criticizing the people of the Augustus family who wrote the war report, Noah couldn't help but think about the potential threats and hidden dangers. His adoptive father could make these underground clans surrender by relying on his personal strength and the nobility of his bloodline.

But what if the foster father is gone? Not dead, but just gone? Will these underground clans remain obedient? Will they continue to submit?

The answer is yes, war will inevitably break out again at that time!

"Tsk, what am I worrying about? At worst I can kill him again later. Why should I think so much now?"

Noah soon figured everything out and suddenly became enlightened.

As a short-lived species, humans are tempered by the power of shining light and have a golden body. They will have a lifespan of one hundred to eighty years. When they reach the ultimate state, they can live for three hundred years. If they are promoted to legend, their lifespan will at least double, not counting the blessing of special bloodline.

Even if it was just an estimate, Noah felt that his adoptive father, who had Titan blood, would naturally live longer than a true dragon, and might even live longer.

Therefore, some concerns are unnecessary given the current situation.
