Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 464: City in heaven, shine with the sun and the moon!

The cold wind from the Arctic ice field blew across the Great Lakes and invaded the continent. The capital city of Otavius ​​was shivering in the cold wind under the cover of night. The streets and alleys were sparsely populated, and almost no one was walking on the streets.

Occasionally, a dragoon wearing a silver-scale breastplate and holding a steam rifle would gallop by, his jet-black short cape almost blending into the night. The occasional low roar of the dragon beast would give some creatures walking in the dark a chill.

The cold wind was like a whip in the hands of a winter girl, lashing the entire city fiercely. Most of Otavi was tightly wrapped in darkness, and the law-abiding citizens had already fallen asleep amid the howling of the frost-laden wind.

You can go south from the Otavi Palace, walk along the Candle Street, along the Fontaine Street and the White House Street, all the way to the end of the Longming Street, and look around, you will see bright lights.

The First Dragoon Academy of Oveta, the Second Army Officer Academy, the Third Naval University, the School of Architecture, the Federal Administrative College... This is the world-famous university town of Oveta, where dozens of universities with the best faculty, elites and talents on the continent are concentrated.

Thirty-nine years ago, the Immortal City of the Holy Dragon from outside the world arrived. In just less than ten years, it exhausted the vitality of all the countries on the continent. Then, it naturally received the surrender letters from various countries.

After all the countries on the continent surrendered to the alien dragon clan, a young man who was born in the local area, lived among the people, but had dragon blood, was recognized by the Immortal City and was appointed as the president of the federation of countries on the continent of Sadis. He built a new capital, Ovita, and commanded all the countries.

Considering the young man's own strength and age, being appointed as the President of the Federation is simply a child's play, but this is a deliberate arrangement made by the Immortal City.

The commander of the Immortal City wants to make those rulers of various countries who have surrendered but are still unwilling to give in understand one thing.
Even if he is just an underage Dragonborn boy, with the support of the Immortal City, he can become an existence that is above all countries and hold real power, rather than just a decoration.

When the Federation of the Sadis Nations was established, under the management of the young president, Ovita, as the new capital, became the political center of the continent and then the economic core.

Taking advantage of the special political and economic status, the young president, who seemed to have only the Immortal City to rely on, spent thirty years and devoted all his efforts to developing education, and established a university town in Ovita that had never existed in the history of the continent.

In just thirty years, this place has attracted and trained countless elite talents, injecting a steady stream of new blood into the seemingly empty shell of the federation.

With the support of these new bloods, the President, who is no longer a teenager, can convey his political orders to the countries on the continent and make those weak countries obey his will even without relying on the Immortal City.

This is a game, a war without any bloodshed. The president, who nominally holds the highest power, uses his political position to continuously deprive other countries of their power and seize their resources.

For those young people who are young and energetic, full of vitality and energy, have unlimited potential, and are eager for change and opportunities, now is the best time for the continent of Sadis.

But for the rulers of various countries and the nobles who held power and land in the old era, this is the worst era. Their power and interests are constantly slipping away, and they can only watch.

Once any attempt is made to change or to stop it, it will mark the beginning of destruction. The Immortal City has zero tolerance for any act of resistance to federal rule. Once the resistance forces appear, the War Dragons representing the will of the Holy Dragon will descend from the sky.

That is the most terrifying extermination. Once rebel forces appear, everything related to them, even if there is only suspicion, will face the most stringent scrutiny, and finally there will be a great purge.

It was a brutal massacre. The dragons from the Immortal City had no mercy or compassion. They would rather kill anyone who was innocent than let them go, eradicating the entire rebellion without leaving any hidden dangers.

"Whoo~"

Bai Ye exhaled lightly a breath of cold air. This frosty air was colder than the snowflakes falling from the sky, and it even formed larger ice crystals that fell to the ground.

As the grandson of the federal president, Bai Ye's future seems bright to outsiders because he inherited the president's noble ice dragon bloodline.

But only Bai Ye himself knew how difficult his life had been over the years, how he had been walking on thin ice at every step. Because his grandfather wanted to do so many things, the pressure from all sides and the resistance he faced were also unparalleled.

As the president's grandson, Bai Ye has faced the most assassinations, kidnappings, poisonings, and intimidation since he was a child. There are too many people who want to use him to coerce his grandfather.

Even though his grandfather would not be shaken by this, some people just wanted to give it a try, even if they knew it was useless. But what did it matter? Anyway, it would only cost the lives of the people below and this poor child.

If he had a choice, Bai Ye would rather be born in an ordinary civilian family and live a simple, poor but peaceful life, rather than be born in the first family and not even dare to sleep too deeply.

Unfortunately, he had no choice. As the heir to the ice dragon bloodline, he was destined to walk through mountains of swords and forests of knives and grow up under the spotlight. He could not make any mistakes. He had to be a role model for teenagers and a student representative.

"It's so cold!"

The young man, whose cheeks were dotted with ice crystal scales, sighed, then looked towards the brightly lit university town not far away, his ice-blue vertical pupils revealing envy.

He saw the poor students working tirelessly in the teaching buildings and the library. He could also hear the roars of dragons and the clash of spears and swords on the training grounds of the military academy next door. In the farther industrial college, the high-pitched and piercing roar of machinery stimulated his eardrums.

In an era of widespread night blindness and lack of adequate lighting, nighttime entertainment is obviously extremely rare, at least for ordinary citizens. However, in the university town, such a lively scene will last at least until ten o'clock in the evening before gradually quieting down.

The university town, which was the result of his grandfather's hard work and gathered the wealth and elites of the continental countries, was like a heart full of vitality, bursting with blood containing infinite possibilities, flowing to the countries on the continent, injecting vitality into this world that had been gradually becoming silent and without much change, and bringing the world a new life.

In the areas under the actual control of the Federation, men, women, young and old, regardless of gender and age, all have great expectations for tomorrow and a vision for the future.

Because the Golden Law from the Immortal City is being promoted and implemented in this area, in this land, even those born in the poorest families have the opportunity to change their destiny through their own efforts and struggles.

Because of this, Bai Ye did not think there was anything special about his origin in the first family. Instead, he envied commoner families. Otherwise, if it were really like the old times, when the nobles ruled everything and commoners were worse than animals, he would have to be crazy to envy commoners.

It is precisely because of the spread of the Golden Law that Bai Ye has found his goal and the meaning of existence. If such a beautiful order can be expanded to the entire continent and include all the countries on the continent, what a wonderful world it will be. Bai Ye is looking forward to the arrival of this day, so he is willing to fight for it, even if the road ahead is extremely difficult, even if he needs to devote his entire life to it, but all of this is meaningful.

"What does the real Holy Dragon Kingdom look like?"

Although the boy had his ideals, he was more curious about the Holy Dragon Land described by the dragons from the Immortal City, a holy land where the Golden Law was fully implemented and the kingdom of God was truly built on earth.

Bai Ye looked up at the two moons in the night sky. The smaller one was wrapped in a layer of gold and emitted a slightly cold light.

That was thirty-nine years ago, when the Immortal City descended. Dragons, like messengers of gods, rode on meteors and descended from the sky. They forcibly intervened and stopped all the disputes that were happening across the continent at that time, and arrogantly declared war on all the countries on the continent.

If you like war and want war, then I will give you war, and I will let the war last until you can no longer fight!
This is a very infuriating and confusing thing. What is confusing is how such a force can exist in the outside world, and what is the purpose of forcibly ending the war? Is it to lead to the advent of peace?
It was so naive and ridiculous, but when something like this happened, it was infuriating, because these monsters covered with scales and horns simply looked down on them. The dragons did not take any country seriously, so they even took the initiative to ask the countries on the continent to unite to fight against those who challenged them.

But the key to the problem is that the dragons of the Immortal City possess power that matches their arrogance. During the nine-year war, the dragons used the Immortal City to dominate the sky and, from a superior position, suppressed all countries on the continent that attempted to provoke war.

After nine years of war, even the most powerful country had exhausted everything in this long battle, and even the most warlike monarch was no longer willing to mobilize the army.

If they move, they will be injured; if they go out, they will die. No monarch can bear the continuous casualties of his elite troops. The training of an elite soldier is calculated in years.

The training of an elite army requires the strength of the entire country. When such an army is destroyed, it represents the weakening of the country. Even if it can be rebuilt, it will be seriously damaged.

Therefore, in the tenth year of the war, the countries on the continent chose to surrender and compromise to the dragon people, submitted a letter of surrender, and recognized the dragon people's rule and occupation of the continent.

Because the rulers of various countries have discovered that although the dragons have ambitions and desires that are no less than their power, their numbers are too small to actually occupy every country, so they can only support agents.

However, no one would have expected that the Dragonborn chosen by the dragons of the Immortal City would be such a tricky character. After gaining power, the first thing he did was to vigorously develop education with the help of the dragons' military deterrence and protection.

Through university towns, we will seek out emerging talents, and then use them as a basis to establish a federal administrative system and build the necessary armed forces.

If the federal president thirty years ago was just a nominal position, then the current president is the undisputed overlord of the continent, whose words can determine the rise and fall of a country.

But such authority is nothing in front of the Dragon People. Even Bai Ye knows that despite their family's current prominence, if the Immortal City disappears, their family will face an extremely terrifying counterattack, all the people will be bloodbathed, and everything related to it will be liquidated.

However, the name of the Immortal City was not given by the dragon people in the sky, but was given by the people of the Federation on earth, or it could be said to be their ardent hope from the bottom of their hearts.

They hoped that this city suspended in the sky would be like the sun and the moon that exist forever in the sky, never falling and never being destroyed.

Because anyone with a little common sense knows that the reason why the Golden Rule came into being and could be promoted and implemented is because of the Immortal City, not because of how wise and powerful the President of the Federation is.

"Your Highness!"

In the shadow behind the young man, a dark human figure emerged silently.

"It has been confirmed that the president of the Silver Brotherhood at the Army Officer Academy is a follower of the Snake Cult!"

"Snake worship!"

Hearing the report from the shadow behind him, the young man's expression suddenly became gloomy, with anger in his eyes that was almost about to burst out.

Ever since the Immortal City descended from the outside world, various beliefs in foreign gods related to the outside world have also become active.

Apart from the belief in local orthodox gods, many foreign god beliefs that suddenly became active were labeled by the dragon people as beliefs in evil gods. They were expressly prohibited and could be suppressed by any means.

The Snake Cult is one of them, and it is extremely rampant. The Federation is also extremely concerned about this evil cult because according to the information learned from the Dragon People, there is a real evil god behind this cult.

"Where are the other members of the Silver Brotherhood? Are they followers of the Snake Cult?"

Bai Ye asked a nonsense question, because if the president is a believer of the evil god, the members of the community organization he established are basically sentenced to death.

Even if they survive the screening, their future is bleak and basically ruined. With such a stain on their resume, any organization with confidentiality requirements will no longer want them.

It was for this reason that Bai Ye felt regretful, because he had impressions of several members of the Silver Brotherhood. They were very outstanding young men. Unfortunately, what the University City of Ovita lacked the least now was young people like them.

If you have any connection with an evil cult, you will be downgraded in all inspections even if you pass the screening.

This is probably fate!
