Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 329 Lao Deng, explode some gold coins!
"Father, there are too many people who have responded to me. What should I do? I have no experience in commanding a legion of living beings. How should I reorganize them?"

After the war call was issued in the name of the Son of the Holy Dragon, the subsequent development of events completely exceeded Noah's original expectations and even exceeded Telramus' imagination, so the Son of the Holy Dragon had to ask his father for help.

As the descendant of the Holy Dragon, Tyramus had seen many large battles. At a young age, he had undergone trials in the cemetery ruled by the Demon King. During the trials, this pure-blooded golden dragon gradually honed his outstanding command and leadership skills.

However, Tyramus has the ability to command the undead to fight. The undead are fundamentally different from living creatures, and the most crucial point is that the undead will not disobey or question any orders, but will only faithfully execute the orders of their superiors.

Even when defeat is apparent on the battlefield, no Undead will retreat without explicit orders, even if they fight to the last skeleton soldier.

But living creatures are different. A legion composed of intelligent creatures that have received formal training and possess basic military qualities will be at risk of defeat if its casualty rate on the battlefield exceeds 10%. A legion that is defeated only when the casualty rate exceeds 30% can be called elite.

This is completely different from the situation where all the undead can fight to the death for an order. Of course, if the living army has faith, they can not only fight to the last man, but also the fighting power they burst out is often unexpected and can break common sense.

Having said that, it is really a headache for the current Tairamus to reorganize the dragon people who are eager to join the army. He doesn't know how to do it. Converting civilians into soldiers is not as simple as refining a pile of bones into skeleton soldiers.

Even though Telramus didn't know much about the Legion of Creatures, he knew how terrible it would be to take a group of people who had never participated in a war but were just eager to gain benefits from it onto the battlefield. It would be a disaster.

"You can't train soldiers? Reorganize the army?"

Noah couldn't help but smile when he saw his offspring asking for help. He was in a good mood because he saw the people in his territory were eager for war.

"You're actually troubled by such a simple question?"

"I previously commanded the Undead Legion, which is different from your subjects."

Teramus explained.

"No, that's not the point."

Noah shook his head slightly, and looked at his offspring with some surprise.

"You are my descendant. In the future, you will have your own territory and legion just like me. As an excellent ruler, you do not need to learn all the knowledge and master all the skills.

No matter what you want to do, the fastest way is not to learn it yourself, but to find the best people in this area, and then find a way to make them submit to you, or at least obey your orders. "

"You mean, should I go find those lords? Ask them to help me?"

Telramus understood immediately, but his thinking had reached a dead end, because he had previously controlled the undead, and the control of the undead was in the hands of the highest being.

"It's your decision to find someone to help you, not me."

Noah did not look for a specific candidate for his offspring. This was a choice he should make on his own. As a father, he was only responsible for providing guidance.

"Father, I have another question."

Having already found his father, Tairamus simply poured out all the difficulties he was currently facing. These problems only arose because of his father's advice, otherwise he would have crossed the ocean and arrived at the continent of Alvis.

"speak."

"How can I screen the people who want to join the war? There are too many of them."

Teramus explained his doubts and the reason why his conscription order caused such a great response was also due to his brother Eliade.

Because he clearly stated in the conscription order that this was to support his brother's cause of justice and development on the continent of Alvis.

As Noah's eldest son and the descendant of the Holy Dragon who was active in the secular world in his childhood, Eliad has a very high reputation in Noah's territory. Even though he has disappeared for many years, there are still many people in this land who miss the son of the Holy Dragon.

When many people learned that the eldest son of the Holy Dragon was now fighting for justice in the other continent, they were excited.

But when they learned that the career of this descendant of the Holy Dragon was in a difficult pioneering period and was facing covert hostility and siege from neighboring countries and regional forces, they were outraged.

Therefore, what Tyramus faced were one dragon people after another who wanted to fight for his brother. These tall dragon people had been influenced by Noah's dragonization field for a long time and had evolved through generations. They were born with strong physiques that surpassed humans and could step into the extraordinary realm without much training.

The most important thing is that most of them are well-off, each of them has a set of sophisticated weapons and equipment, a mount, and a large number of servants.

For the countries established by most humanoid races, these dragon people, whose average height is over three meters, with strong bodies and long limbs, only need a little training to make them understand the most basic war commands, and then they can be used as the basis to form an elite ace force.

The dragon people without mounts can be transformed into a heavy infantry regiment with a little reorganization, while the dragon people with mounts can be transformed into a heavy cavalry regiment with a little coordination.

In other words, Noah looked down on such dragon people, and believed that they needed to select the best from the best, and screen out the real elites, train them, and finally equip them with magical weapons after passing numerous tests before they could become a legion soldier.

But for the vast majority of lords, or an ordinary human king, not to mention the grassroots soldiers, even the middle-level officers would be able to wake up with laughter if they could possess the qualities of the Dragon People.

Therefore, this made Telramus very embarrassed, because his standards were not as strict as his father's. He had to reach the Radiant Gold level before he could be incorporated into the regiment and become a formal military unit.

The descendant of the Holy Dragon, who had even used skeleton soldiers, was pleased with the dragon people who wanted to join the army and follow his footsteps to the continent of Alvis.

However, it is impossible for him to bring so many people with him, because the number of Dragon People who have the intention to join the war has exceeded 100,000 so far, and this number is increasing rapidly with the passage of time.

Indeed, Telramus knew that the motives of these dragon people who wanted to join the army were not pure. They did not simply want to assist his brother, but also wanted to achieve success, power, status and wealth.

But this is the pursuit of intelligent creatures. Not to mention these dragon people, even his own purpose is not pure, because he also wants to prove himself to his brother and father through this war.

This was true for him, the Dragon People, and the Dragon Lords, but the Dragon Lords' purpose was very pure. They did not want to help the Son of the Holy Dragon, but wanted to expand the territory, obtain more land resources and status in the name of helping the Son of the Holy Dragon. They had not made any progress for too long.

"Is it a lot? I don't think so. If you're bothered by this, just take it all."

Noah encouraged. This was not only his support for his two sons, but more importantly, he was very happy to see the Dragon Clan, who had a pioneering and enterprising spirit, set out to sea in large numbers with a legion as their organization, and expedition to the Alvis continent.

"There are too many of them."

Teramus was not fooled by his father's words. He reiterated the problem he encountered.
"If the number is small, I can build a teleportation array. But with the current size and number of Dragon Clan, I cannot afford the cost of cross-sea teleportation."

"Oh."

Noah nodded. He understood why the second son came to him. He even asked him how to select the participants. This question sounded very simple, but in the end it was just one sentence:
Lao Deng, blast some gold coins!
"This is a small problem. You can arrange for them to go to the Voyager Port and seek assistance from the local governor. There should be many ocean-going ships and warships for sale in the port. You can invest and customize or directly purchase a finished ship."

Noah thought for a moment and gave a highly feasible suggestion.

As for paying money to his second son and teleport all the Dragon Citizens who wanted to join the war to the Alvis Continent? If you want to have the best of both worlds, this is the first batch of Dragon Citizens, not all of them.

If there are still dragon people who want to go to the Alvis continent in the future, the cost of all of them using the cross-sea teleportation array is too high.

Therefore, Noah felt that taking this opportunity to create a fixed expedition route was a very good plan, and it was of great significance and had a far-reaching impact on history. Such a task with a historical mission, Noah felt that it could be handed over to his second son to complete. As for the money, he had already given the plan, so why should he pay? That didn't make sense.

"My assets are not enough to purchase or customize a fleet that can transport 100,000 dragon people at a time."

Teramus was unwilling to give up. He had no other purpose in coming here. Apart from asking for advice, he also wanted his old father to support his and his brother's career.

"It's okay. You can apply for a loan from the Governor's Office in Yuanyang Port as my descendant. With me as your guarantor, they should approve the loan no matter how large the amount is."

Noah said in a gentle voice, and gave another feasible plan.
"Of course, if you don't want to take out a loan, you can order the ships in batches. There's no need to complete the delivery all at once."

"Father, can't you give me some financial support?"

Tairamus couldn't help it after all and asked directly.

"I want to, but I don't have any money."

Hearing his second son speak so directly, Noah sighed.

"It seems that the tax revenue of my territory is increasing every year, and the economy is getting better and better, but the expenditures are also increasing synchronously, and are doubling.

For example, local infrastructure, research investment in potions, magic, machinery, blood, etc., education expenditures of colleges at all levels in various places, various relief policies, and the maintenance of local defense forces, as well as the construction of my own regiments, which of these is not a sinkhole that burns money? Not to mention administrative management, transportation, environmental protection, social security, material reserves, etc., so many things, which one do you think is free of money? Which one can be saved?"

"..."

After hearing the list of expenditure items listed by his father, Telrams fell silent.

As a dragon who has lived in the Giant God Workshop for a long time, he only knew that there were many profitable projects in his father's territory, and that his father was the most luxurious dragon in the world. However, he did not know that the consumption in order to maintain order in his father's territory was so huge.

"Building a teleportation array is indeed the most time-saving and labor-saving solution, but it is also the most energy-consuming solution. I know you are very eager to help your brother, but no matter what you do, you need to do it within your ability."

Noah's words are always important.
"You need to face reality and make the most reasonable choice based on the actual situation. You haven't stopped the war recruitment, and there will be more dragon people who want to follow your footsteps. Do you want to teleport them all over? How much can you bear?"

"I understand, father. I will follow your advice and build an expedition route."

Although he did not believe that his father was poor, Teramus was not the type to pester others. But asking for money to this extent was already his limit.

"If you want to apply for a loan, try to fill in a reasonable amount. If the loan amount you apply for is too outrageous, the goblins in charge of approval will still reject it."

When his offspring turned to leave, Noah kindly gave a reminder.

"I remember."

Telramus paused for a moment, then continued to move forward.

"What a good kid!"

Noah exclaimed with emotion.

It is still too extravagant to carry out mass teleportation on a legion scale. Noah can afford such a reckless move, but the cost outweighs the gain.

The situation in the eldest son Elijah's territory has long been stabilized. Although it is still jointly blockaded by surrounding countries, this blockade line is not solid and can be said to be full of holes.

The conduct of ocean trade has made the name of Noah's Holy Dragon widely known in the continent of Alvis, which has also led to many countries on the other side of the continent having a certain favorable impression of Noah's Holy Dragon Land.

Even countries ruled by feudal aristocrats would not mind dealing with such forces, especially when conducting commercial trade, because there is no need to worry about any fraud, and the business environment is very good, and profits can be guaranteed on every trip.

As for the countries surrounding the Holy Dragon Land, they feared that their people would be assimilated and eroded, and their nobles feared being executed by the Holy Knights. What did this have to do with them? They were not the ones threatened.
