Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 712 - 404: Ascension to Dragon King: Devouring the World

"Great-uncle, this is already the nineteenth delegation seeking aid that I have received this month."

The third-generation Monarch of Atlas, Alexander, who bore the title of the Golden Dragon Lord and was half-jokingly called the Holy Dragon’s first Favored, expressed his current troubles to Noah,

"Do you think I should send troops to assist them?"

"Such matters you should decide on your own. Why do you need to specifically seek my opinion?"

In response to his grandnephew’s plea for assistance, Noah expressed dissatisfaction. Currently focused on planewars, he thought asking how to handle the small skirmishes of the continent nations was a waste of time.

"Great-uncle, what I want to ask is regarding the Green Tide disaster. Shouldn’t we intervene and suppress them? We can’t allow them to continue invading the southern countries."

Faced with his great-uncle who seemed to not take such matters to heart, Alexander couldn’t help but express his actual concern.

"Green Tide disaster? You mean those wandering elves. If you have excess troops, then just go and stop them. They have indeed been too arrogant, they need to experience some setbacks."

Though his focus was mainly on the planewars, Noah couldn’t completely disregard the issues of his homeland, and he understood the urgency of his grandnephew’s situation.

Currently, those elves were attacking the southern countries, one of their primary targets. These were territories Alexander originally considered as within his grasp, planning to expand the kingdom’s lands once his army grew strong. However, before he could start, they’d been preempted.

"Great-uncle, deploying the Dragon Knight Army to assist is a simple matter. I’m confident I can achieve victory in the war, but if I slaughter too many elves, if it leads to intervention from the Elf Gods..."

Concerned and worry-laden, the Golden Dragon Lord expressed doubts, though his words carried an arrogance and disdain that any elf would find unbearable.

This Monarch feared that intervention in the war, because of the mass slaughter of elves, might cause the Elf Gods to engage. As for the ever-arriving wandering elves, he completely dismissed them. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

This confidence emerged after participating in the planewars. Of course, most importantly, it was because he had spent nearly a century and utilized the nation’s resources to raise the Dragon Knight Army.

An army armed well enough to sweep across the continent, provided one overlooked Noah’s exceptionally armed Dragon-men units.

"With me here, what are you afraid of? Soldier against soldier, general against general, king against king. If the Elf Gods intervene because of war defeat, I will handle them."

Noah squinted his dragon eyes, immediately promising his grandnephew.

He had long been dissatisfied with the Elf Gods. Among the gods, they were the ones he had issues with the earliest, especially since they had always engaged in continuous petty actions, now even more blatant.

Did he not see the purpose of constantly sending wandering elf tribes to Xilantia Continent? It seemed to fill the royal court’s lapses, but who were they ultimately targeting?

Now, the external wandering elf tribes composed the Moon Alliance, invading the southern and western territories of the continent. When most of the continent fell into the hands of the elves, where would their remaining targets lie?

So hard to guess!

The national machinery, having tasted the benefits of continuous warfare, would it halt without external force? Absolutely impossible.

Noah saw through the little schemes of the Elf Gods too clearly, suspecting not just the Elf God System was involved, but other Divines had a hand in it too.

"With those words from you, Uncle, I’m reassured."

Hearing the words he desired from his great-uncle, Alexander leaped to his feet, excitement apparent in his expression.

He had disliked the elves for a long time but previously lacked the opportunity because the Elf Court’s ruler was his sister. What reason did a brother have to fight his sister? Now, however, if he didn’t take action, he might as well abdicate.

"Wait a moment."

As the monarch, energetic as a youth resembling a groom on his wedding day, was about to leave, Noah called him back.

"Great-uncle, is there anything more you’d like to instruct?"

Even as the Monarch, Alexander still maintained respect for this elder as he had in his youth, largely due to the incredible power this elder possessed, making defiance unthinkable.

If any junior were disobedient, this great-uncle was truly capable of taking a whip to them. According to some uncertain information Alexander had collected, one of his brothers actually suffered much under his great-uncle’s hand, eventually being subdued and no longer daring to make any discreet moves.

"You can try to contact your sister. I think regarding this matter, you both might provide each other with unexpected surprises."

"Parvati?"

Alexander frowned. Though he acknowledged his half-sister, from her many years in power, she seemed fully integrated with the elves, her decisions purely driven by elven interests.

"The interests of the Royal Court Elves do not align with those of the Alliance Elves. If you wish to strike the Alliance Elves, then the Royal Court Elves will surely be willing to collaborate with you."
