Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 368: The War of Revenge, the Prologue Begins

No one questioned the fairies' loyalty to the Holy Dragon, and no one believed that they would dare to joke about such things and deceive the people.

As a result, the focus of public discussion shifted from the fact that His Majesty the Holy Dragon had been reduced to ruins to the question of who had reduced His Majesty's sacred residence to ruins. During this process, anger gradually filled the minds of many of the Holy Dragon's people.

"Who on earth is it? How dare they attack His Majesty the Holy Dragon!"

"Who gave them the courage? How dare they offend His Majesty? They deserve to die!"

"No matter who dares to offend Your Majesty, I will fight them to the death. Even if it costs me my life, I will let them know that the majesty of the Holy Dragon cannot be challenged."

When many of the Holy Dragon's people learned that the Holy Dragon had encountered an attack while it was sleeping, causing its homes to be reduced to ruins, they shouted and yelled in the streets, threatening to avenge the Holy Dragon even at the cost of their lives.

This is not the result of being drunk and boasting, nor is it caused by being blinded by anger. This is the true feeling of many Holy Dragon people.

Therefore, when the dragon people who had been transformed by Noah's dragonization field for generations walked out of this land and realized the situation outside this holy land, even those who had not experienced the initial period of land expansion and construction were particularly cherishing the treatment they were enjoying now.

Everything is afraid of comparison. Perhaps the dragons who were originally born in the city of Elisim and the surrounding Acropolis did not care about everything they were born with and took it for granted.

But when you improve your cognition through learning and really go out and get to know the outside environment, you will understand that everything about yourself is like the kingdom of God to many creatures on this land, which is something they cannot even imagine in their dreams.

How was this dreamland that is similar to the kingdom of God on earth established and how was it maintained? The answer is self-evident. It all came from the Holy Dragon Noah.

Holy Dragon Noah is like the sun in the sky. This golden sun shines its light on his followers, and they will bathe in this grace and glory for generations, all the way to eternity.

This is not an exaggeration, but in the eyes of many dragon people, the Holy Dragon Noah is comparable to the sun in the sky, or even better. The sun in the sky can set, but the glory of the Holy Dragon must be eternal.

There is no need to talk about faith. The existence of Saint Dragon Noah is related to the fundamental interests of himself and his descendants. Even if it is just from the perspective of biological survival instinct, he will defend it to the death.

What would happen if creatures that depend on the sun for survival discovered that someone wanted to destroy the sun?
Only kill it

"What if it is the gods? Do you still have the courage to take revenge on them?"

When people's emotions were boiling, someone raised a question, but someone immediately responded, and then a consensus was quickly formed.

"We are the noble people of the Holy Dragon. Why do you think we don't even have this much courage?"

"What are the gods? Only His Majesty the Holy Dragon is the true Eternal Dragon!"

"Your Majesty the Holy Dragon is supreme!"

The atmosphere of fanatical revenge, with Elishim as its core, began to spread to towns and villages across the Holy Dragon Land. Even though some goblins had come forward and clearly stated that the attack was led by gods, it did not affect the burning of the fire of revenge at all.

In this land, the belief in the gods has not been cut off, and there are still people preaching, but not many people care about the majesty of the gods.

When the desire for revenge against the gods began to ferment and spread among the lower classes, Noah, who was standing on the ruins, began to receive the various parties who came to inquire about the news and offer condolences.
"Uncle, are you okay?"

The first to arrive was Alexander, the third-generation monarch of the contemporary Atlas Kingdom. Not only did he come riding on his brothers, he was also fully armed and dressed in armor, looking like he was ready to go into battle at any time.

"Do you think I look injured?"

Facing his first relative and nephew, Noah's tone was relatively relaxed and casual.

"I'm glad you're okay. You look stronger now."

Looking up at the adult ancestral golden dragon in front of him, which was over 150 meters long, even though he had already firmly established himself as the monarch and was brought along by his brothers, the Lord of Atlas could not help but feel insignificant.
"It's such a serious matter, why didn't anyone inform me? I didn't even receive any news at all?"

Noah couldn't help laughing when he heard Alexander's complaints filled with annoyance.

"The mastermind behind my assassination is the gods, not just one god. What can you do if I tell you?"

"Gods?"

Alexander's expression changed slightly and his eyes became serious.

He really knew nothing. Ophelia had kept the news so secret that when it was all over, even the street-slicker monarch who often came to visit Noah knew nothing.

Of course, this was also because the monarch knew his uncle's sleeping time, so he did not dare to come and disturb him before he woke up. This resulted in a situation where a major event happened but he knew nothing about it.

It is no wonder that Alexander was indignant and felt that his status was challenged and even despised. He did not even have the right to know to this extent.

"What? Are you scared?"

Noah watched his great-nephew's expression with great interest.

He can be said to be one of the strongest legends in the world. Being at the rank of legend, he is not only an existence at the top of the material world, but also one of the people who are most in awe of the gods. He is even more in awe of them than professionals who have just embarked on the path of transcendence. Precisely because of his strength, he knows how terrifying the power of the gods is.

"Of course I'm not afraid, but which gods sent their forces to attack you?"

Alexander did not doubt the truthfulness of his great-uncle's words. Only a god at this level would dare to take action against the current ancestor dragon.

"Do you have to ask which gods they are before you dare to express your views?"

Noah gave a playful smile, his dragon pupils narrowed slightly.

"Of course not. I am your follower. No matter which god is hostile to you, I only have one choice."

"There are seven gods for now!"

Behind each of the seven god hunters is a god. Although Ophelia said that most gods only sent out god hunters due to some kind of agreement, and only a small number of creatures truly harbored ill will towards him, Noah believed that the number of gods who really wanted to harm him was definitely more than this.

"Seven? The elven pantheon!? I will go and prepare for the war against Middle-earth..."

Alexander's young face showed a murderous look, and he immediately made a statement, with an extremely aggressive and sharp golden light in his eyes.

"It's not Middle-earth, nor the Elven God. Although they are not good people in my opinion, it has nothing to do with them this time."

"Which gods are those?"

"The Lord of the Flaming Sun, Heliers."

"A mid-level god? I will order the suppression of his sect right now!"

Alexander said immediately. In his opinion, offending the gods and pleasing his uncle were not options, and he did not need to think about it.

"Just suppression?"

"Uncle, please give me your orders. I am willing to follow your instructions. My sword is your sword, and my legion is your sharp blade."

The Lord of Atlas immediately stated that he was not afraid even if he was against the gods, and the Augustus family had the confidence to despise the gods.

He is just a god. Others say he is Augustus with dragon blood. Even the head of Augustus family who has awakened the blood of the Titan will never cut ties with the Holy Dragon because of this.

"There is the Flaming Sun Religion Nation on the Alvis continent. I plan to completely wipe this nation out from this plane."

"I will now gather all the knights directly under the royal family and prepare for the expedition across the sea."

"We don't need so many. Dispatching seven direct knight orders will be enough."

Noah was very satisfied with his nephew's statement. Daring to declare war on the gods was enough to show his own position and that of the Augustus family.

However, mobilizing all the armed forces of the royal family was a bit excessive. Noah only asked for a group of them symbolically. It was really difficult for them to rely solely on the goblins under his command to destroy the church that would definitely have the full support of the gods.

"Then I will go back and mobilize the Knights and await your orders!"

"Go!"

After the Lord of Atlas left, many ancient dragons hiding in Noah's territory and many holy warriors arrived one after another.

However, compared to the nephew who stood on the side cleanly and neatly, many ancient dragons learned from Noah that the gods were targeting him. Some old dragons remained silent, while some old dragons tried to persuade Noah to relax and not challenge the authority of the gods.

The majesty of the gods penetrated deep into the dragon's heart. Facing the gods, the performance of the thousand-year-old dragon was not even as good as that of a drunk and swearing dragon man in the street.

Noah responded politely to these ancient dragons who wanted to be peacemakers and arranged for some dragon fairies to send them away. In a situation where they were already facing life and death, they still tried to make peace. It can only be said that they had no pride and dignity that the dragon clan should have.

You know, even some old and retired paladins, after reaching the top of the mountain and seeing the tragic traces left on the mountains, remained silent, and not a single paladin tried to make peace.

Noah did not make things difficult for any silent onlookers. After all, they were gods, and Noah could understand the pressure brought by the gods. Moreover, the unique position of the holy warriors did not allow them to swing swords at a righteous god.

Noah could tolerate remaining silent and not taking sides, but he could not tolerate people advising him to back off.

"Alas, Noah, you are still too young to know the horror of the gods!"

"I am indeed very young, but my youth is better than your decay, which is about to enter the grave!"

"you……"

Faced with Noah's rude response that disregarded the dignity of an elder, the old dragon, who wanted to continue persuading him, was so angry that he was speechless.

"No need to say more. Have you not listened to the voices of the people in my territory? Even the gods must pay the price for their actions!"

Noah respected the elders of his tribe who had lived through a long period of time, but this respect was based on the premise that these elders could demonstrate wisdom honed by the years and outstanding character.

In this world, only ability can win people's hearts. If you want to suppress others by relying on seniority and seniority, and use it as capital to preach and boss others around, it will only make others curse you in their hearts.

The reason why we maintain a respectful attitude in daily life is just to preserve our own dignity, not to respect the other person. If an old and useless person is complacent about this, he is really stupid and does not know it.

After receiving and driving away many of the dragons hiding in his territory, Noah's surroundings became much quieter.
"After today, there will probably be a lot of old dragons leaving my territory. My place is not safe for them. It is not a place where they can live in peace."

Although there were some old dragons who advised Noah to give in, there were also some old dragons who expressed their willingness to stand by Noah's side. However, these old dragons generally stated that if they wanted to join the war where the gods would descend, they would have to pay more money.

Although such a crude and direct request made Noah laugh and cry, he was also quite relieved. Not all the old dragons who had lived through a long time were afraid of death and believed that the gods could not be challenged.

"granduncle!"

After entertaining the last wave, a slender figure that seemed to be transformed from the night appeared on the top of the mountain. His handsome face had an indescribable evil charm, and lacked some of his original heroism and masculinity.

"Lord Eternal Night, you have finally completed the transformation. How do you feel?"

Seeing his nephew in front of him, Noah couldn't help but sigh. Under the threat of the will of hell, he finally took that step. Although it couldn't be considered self-destructive, it was destined to be full of difficulties on the path to immortality.

“It’s much better than I expected.”

Wayne bowed and replied.

"Is it?"

"You may not believe it, but I can show you."

"Oh? How are you going to show it?"

Noah stretched out his dragon claws and moved them slowly. He had not moved much since he woke up from his deep sleep. It was rare that someone would still want to challenge him after seeing his true form.

"Of course, I will show you in the Kingdom of the Flaming Sun what kind of power I possess as the Lord of the Eternal Night."

Wayne, who has a handsome and charming face, even more beautiful than women, smiled confidently.

"you sure?"

Noah couldn't help but have a complicated look on his face, as this was the first time someone had asked for it without being asked.

"What do you mean? Are you going to attack the Theocracy? The undead are born to be in opposition to the gods. Have you forgotten that?"

Wayne showed an open-minded smile on his face.
"But I will go ahead. Although you are already in opposition with the gods, it is only some of the gods. It is not good to be openly involved with an Undead King like me."

"The main thing is to protect yourself."

Noah warned.

"Please declare war on the Yanyang Church later. After you officially declare war, I will withdraw."

Having said that, three days after Wayne left, Noah appeared in the city of Elishim in the form of a holy dragon, bringing his offspring and many dragon lords, and issued a declaration of war, officially declaring war.
