After evolving from an eagle-man into an angel, I annihilated the gods.

Arodas displayed great bravery on the northern frontier.

The northern frontier was the front line of the war between the southern and northern empires. For hundreds of years, it had been a place of constant warfare, with no shortage of fierce and brutal battles.

In battle after battle, Arodas grew rapidly.

He rose from an anonymous soldier to an army colonel over twenty years, commanding an elite cavalry corps.

It is worth mentioning that the place where his legion was stationed was the central land that would later be called Proadas, and also the capital of several races that would rule the continent in the next era.

The name "Arodas" sounds very similar to "Proadas".

Of course, this place is not called Proadas yet, but a fortified city on the northwestern frontier of the southern region.

The continent of Feland in the pre-apocalyptic era was at least ten times larger than the Feland of later times. After the cataclysm, the continent of Feland was torn apart and became what it is today.

Let's return to the topic of Arrodas.

His growth was not limited to his military rank and position.

His strength also increased from the lowest-level transcendent being at Sequence 9 to a powerful being at Sequence 5.

In just thirty years, it has spanned four major sequence ranks, which is quite rapid.

He was a genius.

Although Arodas had a disastrous private life, his personality was actually quite good. In particular, his military career smoothed out his rough edges and completely erased his playboy nature.

Over the course of thirty years.

He treats his subordinates well and gets along well with his superiors. He has an excellent reputation among the troops stationed in northern Xinjiang and is very popular.

He was ruthless yet principled on the battlefield, full of wisdom in warfare, and remarkably adhered to the principles of great powers fighting each other. Even his enemies admired his character and abilities.

At the same time, during these thirty years, he saved a large number of civilians from the Southern Empire who were attacked by the Northern Empire, and won their gratitude.

He treated his own people like a warm sun and his enemies like a scorching sun. Arodas's personal charisma was fully displayed, and many people were willing to follow him.

Of course, the fact that the Monroe family had abandoned their heir was no longer a secret, and Arrodas had no intention of hiding it.

However, the people of the northern frontier did not see the so-called dissolute playboy, but only a general who was good at fighting and could protect his homeland.

Of course, in the frontier, he no longer flirted with beautiful noblewomen as he had in the past.

That's it.

The rumors in the capital gradually faded away over the years, replaced by Arodas's good reputation.

Words like brave, righteous, persevering, strong, responsible, and fearless can all be used to describe him.

Because his own extraordinary cultivation sequence is the solar sequence, he is also known as the "Son of the Sun".

The Monroe family's lineage is the Sun Sequence, an extremely ancient sequence.

Thousands of years ago, Udi Monroe, the ancestor of the Monroe family, analyzed the power of the sun and elevated the sun sequence from the Prince of Light (Sequence 4) to the Lawbringer of Order (Sequence 3).

Because in this process, he used the treasures left behind by the ancient Sun King, and his own physical strength was not enough to reach the level of Sequence 3.

Therefore, the power of Sequence 3 only lasted for a hundred years.

Later, he was also killed by the backlash of the extraordinary sequence's power, but the evolutionary path of sequence 3 was left behind.

At the same time, a century is enough time for Udi Monroe to build a powerful family.

He expanded his territory abroad and remained loyal to the Southern Empire's royal family at home, and was given the title of Grand Duke Monroe by the emperor at the time.

The Monroe family rose to prominence starting with him, eventually becoming one of the most powerful and enduring families in the Southern Empire.

Arodas was born into such a top-tier noble family.

To be closer to the center of power, his father lived with him and a portion of his clan in the imperial capital for many years.

The newspapers reported that Arodas's return to the capital during the imperial parade was still intended to rejoin the Monroe family.

Unfortunately, his father, Aaron Monroe, was an extremely upright and serious man who was not prepared to accept him, even though he had spent thirty years reforming himself and proving himself.

Therefore, Arrodas's return this time seems more like a farce.

Jiang You could already sense Arodas's distress.

Even though he has corrected his behavior, he is still not recognized by his family.

However, Jiang You does not believe that Arodas will be defeated in this incident.

In his view, hardship is also one of the steps to progress.

Arodas will only work harder, and the Monroe family will forever lose this reformed family member.

In any case, Arrodas never used Monroe's surname again in the future.

At the very bottom of this page.

In front of a large manor, a serious middle-aged man stood solemnly, holding a scepter, while Arodas left in a disheveled state.

Hmm, Arrodas was indeed very handsome when he was young.

.....

After reading the information in the newspaper.

Jiang You put away the newspaper, a slight smile playing on his lips. He prepared to take the newspaper to future generations so that Arodas could reminisce about the glorious past.

He must be very happy.

Anastasia walked quietly beside him the whole time, without disturbing him while he read the newspaper.

She had no interest in any of these things.

Currently, she only has two interests: Jiang You and making money.

The path to advancement in the "merchant" tier requires earning a lot of money.

Making money not only makes her richer and improves her life, but it also enhances her abilities.

Seeing that Jiang You had finished reading the newspaper, Anastasia asked curiously.

Should we go and visit this person?

"Need not."

Jiang You shook her head.

“This guy might not necessarily be our friend right now, Anna.”

"In the future, they may even be our enemies."

"I understand."

Anastasia nodded.

Jiang You smiled, patted her head, and asked.

"Have you figured out what to do next?"

Anastasia's eyes lit up.

"I plan to stay in Arafaga for the time being. It has abundant resources and good information."

"I plan to develop industries here first, make money, and build my own power."

She shared her opinion.

"Moreover, I feel that the power of the Southern Empire's royal family is not what it used to be. As the war continues, the centuries-long North-South war has greatly depleted the strength of the royal family and nobles, causing them to begin to need the help of the common people."

"And as one of the dominant forces in the steam industry in this era, the merchants of the empire are having an increasingly louder voice."

"I want to integrate into the Southern Empire as a businessman and grow stronger."

Upon hearing this, Jiang You nodded in approval.

“Your idea is good, Anna.”

"However, there is one more thing I would like to ask of you."

Anastasia suddenly lowered her head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Go ahead."

“Originally, I did not intend to reveal my identity as the princess of the Kingdom of Gabriel. At this stage, this identity is a trouble rather than an aid to me.”

"But with you here, I can confidently use this identity to obtain the Empire's aid."

“Uriel, I want you to come with me to see Her Majesty Empress Nafarolin of the Southern Empire.”
