Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 209 - 152: The Fall of the Capital, The Demise of the Old Mage_2

Chapter 209: Chapter 152: The Fall of the Capital, The Demise of the Old Mage_2

"You don’t have to wait until the Ancient Dragon stage, you can try it when you become a Young Dragon. I can teach you."

"Thank you for the offer, but no need!"

Noah shook his head repeatedly. He had developed his own Dragon Battle Skill, and the attack method of this Ancient Dragon before him seemed far too crude in his eyes. It entirely relied on the overwhelming power of the Ancient Dragon’s physique to overpower others without any technique.

This wasn’t the combat style of the Metallic Dragon Race; it was essentially a method that the Red Dragons would devise. If it weren’t for checking the scales and confirming the bloodline aura, Noah would have doubted it.

Of course, to be fair, this combat style is incredibly effective when bullying creatures that are vast in number and have weaker physical strength than the Dragon Species. However, if there is a creature of similar rank within the Demon cluster, this approach is practically seeking death.

Overall, Noah felt that something was off. Perhaps such a combat style was highly appealing and could form a great deterrent to the enemy, but it didn’t suit his style.

"This isn’t a simple Dragon Car; it’s not that brainless. There are many factors to consider."

The Ancient Dragon sighed with some regret upon seeing Noah’s refusal. From the first glance, he thought this young Golden Dragon was a perfect fit for the Meteor Battle Technique he had pondered for hundreds of years. Unfortunately, the other party declined without hesitation.

After actually making a move once, the Legendary Ancient Dragon did not choose to leave. He stayed behind to continue guarding the Dragon Group and did not mention anything about increasing the payment; as a dignified Ancient Dragon, he also had his pride.

The young ones all know to fight at the front line against evil, so as an elder, how could he back down in front of a group of young ones?

As the Angels and the Dragon Group delved deeper into the fallen land, it was no longer just a field of corpses and death. They finally found a large city where many survivors had gathered.

This was a city protected by the Divine. In these most perilous times, intelligent life desiring survival would offer their most devout faith to the Divine.

Because of this, during the period of catastrophe, even though populations of many races would suffer massive decline and extinction due to the wars, some mortals still managed to ascend to divinity amidst the chaos and turmoil.

"There are too many refugees, and the management is too chaotic!"

Despite finally encountering a city with surviving life, upon truly entering the city and observing the condition of this overburdened city teeming with refugees, even the Dragons with the least management experience could see the problem.

"Food and sanitation are big issues."

The powerful extraordinary power can satisfy the vast majority of desires of living beings, and the Divine Power can essentially meet all the needs of intelligent life.

Unfortunately, no Divine can respond to every request, granting the wishes of the believers. That is impossible. The Divine will always only respond to a small portion of the believers’ prayers and expectations.

With a million refugees gathered, resolving basic needs like eating, drinking, and waste is a big challenge; this is not something that can be solved with one use of Divine Arts. It’s needed every day. Which Divine’s Divine Power can endure such squandering?

"President, I’ve heard that the Augustus family’s territory is very short of people. Couldn’t these refugees be sent there?"

Seeing the miserable conditions of the refugees in the city’s territories, a Dragon felt compassion and sought Noah’s opinion.

"Have you forgotten how we got here? Send them? How? This is a matter of millions of refugees. Use the Transmission Array? Who can afford such a cost?"

Noah was also very sympathetic to the plight of the people on this land, but everything must be done within one’s capability. It’s not that he didn’t want to save them, but he simply couldn’t.

"Instead of thinking about how to send them out of this land, it would be better to think about how to resolve the demon disaster. If the Abyss Gate is destroyed, the land will return to normal, and they can all survive."

"It’s too difficult."

Compared to the Dragons discussing how to aid the refugees, the Angel, disguised in human form, was traversing various corners of the city, searching for possible traces of Devils, and then,

"I’ve found the traces of a Devil!"

"Is it real?"

The deduction and speculation turned out to be verified at the first survivor gathering point, and Noah’s expression became solemn. Subsequently, they discovered more traces.

Two Legendaries with special bloodlines, tracking down Devils hiding among the refugees, waiting for a chance to cause trouble, naturally had it in hand.

The problem with the Devils was quickly cleaned up, but no one felt happy because the problem lying before them was very severe. The establishment of the Abyss Gate was indeed intricately linked to the Devils.

Everyone knows that Devils wouldn’t be so kind as to help Demons harvest souls. The establishment of the Abyss Gate must be for a larger scheme.

"What exactly could it be?"

The Dragon Group, filled with confusion, did their utmost to annihilate the Demon Army, striving to seize some space for breathing for the survivors struggling to hold on to this land.

In fact, the righteous groups active on this land were more than just the Dragon Group. There were also Paladins converging from all directions, as well as other benevolent beings, and Noah also saw some Spirits of Nature.

They were all fighting for this land, for the safety of the Continent, because the Abyss Invasion, recklessly developed by the Twelve Countries Alliance, after two years of combat, finally received effective containment.

Just as the righteous forces formed a battle line, advancing steadily, methodically clearing the Demons, and preparing to destroy the Abyss Gate, a bad news came from the rear.

The West Wind Valley in the central continent and the Kingdom Capital in the Eastern Territory were destroyed, with two Gates of Hell exuding an evil aura standing on the ground.

Infernal Invasion

Noah’s past speculations were verified. The stone had finally fallen, but it landed with a weight that troubled his heart because one of the Gates of Hell, the one that stood in the Capital, belonged to the Aristoria United Kingdom.

Although the Golden Dragon always wanted Augustus to annex this Kingdom and replace it, as long as it hadn’t been annexed, this Kingdom was his homeland where he grew up, his native land, but now, it was occupied by evil forces.

"What happened?"

Upon hearing the news from the rear, Noah admitted that he was somewhat dazed.

He had thought through countless possibilities but never anticipated that the Devils would choose to establish one of the Gates of Hell in the Kingdom Capital.

It must be known that there was an old Legendary Mage there who had advanced for hundreds of years, and he also had a Mage Tower. It was said to be one of the most difficult areas to conquer in the entire Kingdom.

But now, the Capital of a Kingdom suddenly fell, without any warning, so that the surrounding was unprepared, the once peaceful and calm country instantly plunged into turmoil and unrest.

"Sorry, I must return!"

Facing such a situation, Noah no longer had the mind to gain reputation in the Southern Territory. The Augustus family was his foundation for survival and career, and under such a sudden crisis, the pressure that Ted faced alone was truly too much.

"You must hold on, Ted, I’m coming back soon!"

After paying the cost and summoning two Ancient Dragons to descend, Noah hurried back with the equally battle-hardened Angel Ophelia, and a group of Dragons also chose to return with him.

"President, the situation may not be as bad as you think."

On the way back, facing Noah who was accelerating repeatedly, other Dragons could only speak words of comfort. They could all understand the Golden Dragon, so when Noah decided to return, no one held him back.

"The situation will only be worse than I imagined!"

The message Noah received was very brief: Kingdom Capital fell, Legendary Mage missing, suspected Divine demise, the entire city sacrificed, not a single soul spared.

"It’s all my fault!"

Beside the Golden Dragon, an Angel’s six wings were already enveloped by a layer of somewhat illusory crimson flames, burning.
