Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 703 - 399: The Cultist Army Invading Elisium (Part 2)
Perhaps these majesties don’t care about your existence, but their subordinate gods will certainly take action, mobilizing secular believers to wage war against you. How long do you think you can resist?"
"Of course, until I achieve ultimate victory."
Noah laughed heartily.
"You’re too arrogant, Noah. Do you think you can ignore the influence of the Divine in the material world just because you’ve defeated an incarnation of the Flame Sun Sovereign?"
"I have never underestimated the Divine. Precisely because of this, before I have the power to confront their true forms, I will never leave the Material Realm."
"But how long can you stay in the Material Realm? With your current growth rate, it won’t be long before the rules of the Material Realm reject you."
Ophelia raised a problem that Noah had to face.
The rarity of the Ancestral Dragon Species in the Material Realm is not only due to the scarcity of Ancestor Dragons, but more importantly, a fully grown Ancestor Dragon is not tolerated by the rules of the Material Realm.
"I have solutions." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Noah indeed has many ideas about how to remain in the Material Realm for a long time.
"Since you have a plan, that means I’ve done something unnecessary. In that case, I have nothing more to say, and I wish you to achieve your heart’s desire and become an Immortal Dragon."
Seeing Noah only uttered a sentence without revealing any specific plan, the light in Ophelia’s eyes dimmed slightly, and after offering blessings, she made a new request,
"Before that, I hope you can let Iliad return to me. Being by your side is too dangerous, and as a mother, I hope my son can be safe, can you understand?"
"I understand your feelings, but Iliad has grown up, he is no longer a child, so we must respect his choice, don’t you think?"
Noah retorted, tossing the question back.
"You seem very confident that Iliad will definitely stay by your side."
Seeing the Golden Dragon speaking so, the Great Angel Leader couldn’t help but squint his eyes, looking somewhat unkind.
"Not staying by my side, but staying in the kingdom that belongs to him, he will not abandon his people. I have enough confidence in his character and ethics, and it’s all because of your teachings."
Noah, seeing his partner showing such an angry stance, couldn’t help but laugh while offering reassurance, though it was clearly futile.
"Humph!"
The angel, unable to tolerate Noah’s arrogant stance, angrily shattered the Communication Array in front of him, after venting silently, he contacted his only offspring again.
However, as confident as Noah appeared, upon hearing his mother’s request to return to Heaven and accompany her, Iliad, who was leading troops in battle outside, refused without hesitation.
Of course, Iliad knew what kind of favorable treatment he would receive after returning to Heaven. As a descendant of the Blazing Sky Gods, he could effortlessly acquire everything his mother now has and become the Heavenly Realm Lord he yearned to be as a child.
When he becomes the Heavenly Realm Lord, his subjects will be heavenly creatures, kindhearted, righteous, civilized, and orderly. For a ruler, there is no better populace, nearly requiring no effort to maintain governance.
In contrast, the populace he rules now are practically difficult subjects, stubborn, ignorant, seemingly hopeless.
Despite this, Iliad does not intend to give up, because this does not align with the education he has received. As Noah praised, it is the angel’s outstanding virtue that cultivated such an excellent wise monarch, he absolutely cannot retreat, abandoning his country and people because of facing danger.
Not mentioning the extremely angry mother caught in self-blame in Heaven, nor the eldest Holy Dragon son who has calmed his mind, resolute in continuing to lead his troops in battle.
At this moment, centered around the plane Noah was in, a colossal wave swept across countless planes, affecting all planes with faith in the Sun God, only planes without sunlight remain unaffected.
But how few of such dark planes are there? The sun and moon exist in almost every plane, the difference being nothing more than size and quantity.
Therefore, when the existence proclaiming itself as the Sun Holy Dragon made its announcement, any belief-related to the Sun, that is, various churches, almost all received the corresponding message.
Angry condemnation and roar, or silent and cold indifference, or straightforwardly issuing orders to assemble the worshiper’s army.
Regardless of the reaction these Divine Churches had upon receiving such news, they unanimously identified the arrogant Dragon Clan with the same title.
Heretic Against the Gods!
The vast majority of Divine Churches, even knowing an irreverent dragon clan existed in a distant different plane, due to such lengthy spatial distance or being restricted by their church’s insufficient power to launch a plane expedition, choose indifference and take no action.
Since the dragon clan didn’t target any specific god, why rush to stand out, wait and see other church’s reactions before making a decision.
However, even if ninety-nine percent of the Divine Churches, for one reason or another, upon receiving the message, do nothing, with no reaction.
But even if it’s only that little bit of worshipers who, upon receiving the message, act upon it, the gathered force would be extremely terrifying.
Thus, three days after Noah made his declaration, a sparking Space Teleportation Gate abruptly opened in the outskirts of Elisium, and the other end of the portal mirrored a murderous army.
The screeching of griffins resonated through the sky, and before the suburban residents could react, a large group of Griffin Knights raised dragon spears bearing a Sun Pattern banner, fiercely storming into the skies of Elisium.
"Fight for belief, fight for victory."
"Follow the will of my Lord, purge heresy!"
"The glory of the Sun shall not be desecrated!"
The Griffin Knights, attempting to seize the skies, were just the vanguard, while on the ground, a large number of knights rode sleek-haired warhorses, stepping into the suburban area of Elisium.
Such an unexpected change, the sudden invasion indeed shocked the nearby dragon-man residents, but these dragon-men reacted swiftly.
The Holy Dragon Land has been in war mode for a long time, from adult dragon-men to the elderly and children, every citizen of the Holy Dragon is preparing for war. It’s no exaggeration to say every family hides armor and swords, ready to step onto the battlefield at any time.
Therefore, when they suddenly find an enemy pseudogod’s army appearing beside them, these dragon-men, who originally hadn’t had a chance to step onto the battlefield, immediately became excited.
"Battle glory! Nobility titles!"
In the dragon-men’s mind, this suddenly appearing exotic invading army holds what kind of status and identity.
"Everyone, don’t fight, don’t scramble, and don’t be chaotic. I’m a ten-year veteran retired from the battlefield, listen to me. The elderly, children, and women seek cover and hide nearby, don’t be greedy for merits, don’t advance rashly..."
Seeing such a troop suddenly appear before them, immediately a dragon-man veteran stood out, attempting to direct them, but soon a dragon-man rudely shoved him aside,
"A mere ten-year rookie, what the heck are you commanding? If you don’t dare go up, go aside, hide what? If you don’t scramble now, it’ll be gone!"
The Griffin Knights who first charged into Elisium’s sky now transformed into a rainstorm, falling from the sky to the ground.
Accompanied by the excited roars and screams from the Flying Dragons, these specially bred and cared for Holy Griffins had their throats torn one after another, almost unable to compete with the arriving patrol Dragon Knight Army...
