Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 199 - 147 Rebellion Begins, Suppressing the Disloyal_2

Chapter 199: Chapter 147 Rebellion Begins, Suppressing the Disloyal_2

So Noah plans to use barbarian tactics to control the highest governance and management rights, commanding the obedient tribes to attack those rebellious ones, in order to maintain rule, even to the point of external plundering.

An excellent idea, but the prerequisite for maintaining rule is having absolute force, and military power capable of suppressing and eliminating all threats.

The former can be compensated after Tidel’s breakthrough, as the Sun Governor’s attacks cannot reach underground. As for the latter, the thirteen Knight Orders of the Augustus family are sufficient to meet the requirements.

"Truly, the endless affairs!"

After sending away the delegation from the Dark Territory, Noah sighed, relying on the residual prestige of Selena and Casius for intimidation, estimating that the rule over the Dark Territory could be maintained without issues for another three to five years. If Tidel is strong enough, it might last even longer.

As for now, Noah must deal with an even more troublesome target.

"Lord Noah, has Lady Selena not returned yet?"

"No, what’s the matter?"

Noah looked at the young mage who approached him, a follower of Selena, attracted by the establishment of Mage City, belonging to the group of mages who discovered Selena’s absence the fastest.

However, Noah, who took over Mage City at the first opportunity, faced this group of mages with an answer that his foster mother was out, and to find him if there were issues.

"We encountered a problem, and we wanted to consult Lady Selena."

"A problem? Let me see it."

Noah directly extended his Dragon Claw.

"Here it is..."

The mage, who appeared very young but was actually several times older than Noah, seemed a bit shy and embarrassed.

For this group of mages who noticed Selena’s absence first, there was no real concern, after all, mages often set off on whims for years. It’s quite common, and they themselves do it, so it’s nothing strange.

The main reason for asking if the mage had returned was to seek advice from the Golden Dragon before them.

If initially there was skepticism about the wisdom of this Golden Dragon, wondering what the Dragon Clan could know about spells, after the second or third time, no one doubted anymore. Instead, they looked for excuses to seek guidance and help from this Golden Dragon.

"A very simple problem!"

Noah merely glanced at it and had an idea; the specific scheme, of course, was for this group of mages to figure out on their own. He only provided them with the ideas and thoughts that arose in his mind, which for them was like a guiding light while groping forward in darkness.

"Lord Noah, your wisdom truly amazes me!"

Seeing the solution provided by Noah, the mage who came to consult him was full of admiration, while also secretly lamenting the unfairness of the creator, wondering why such wisdom was bestowed upon the already extraordinarily gifted Dragon Clan.

For academic mages who study diligently like them, lacking a spark of inspiration sometimes leads to problems. But the spark of inspiration from this Golden Dragon seems inexhaustible.

"If you have any questions in the future, come directly to me. Mage City is under my dominion now!"

After responding, Noah directly told the endlessly praising mage.

The mage before him belonged to the school of truth. If the premise of securing research resources was met, they would delve into spell theories and studies without being influenced by external matters, being purely scholarly mages.

Such mages occupy a considerable proportion in Mage City. Otherwise, Selena wouldn’t have recruited them. Unfortunately, her followers weren’t all scholars in pursuit of truth. There were also many mages with a heavy desire for power; this group of mages was capable of being sent to perform substantial tasks.

This group of mages was what gave Noah a slight headache. As for the scholarly mage in front of him, they belonged to the group that Noah could calmly gather, a confidence given to him by the Golden Wisdom Fruit.

"Alright, Lord City Master!"

The young mage who received Noah’s permission left, guided by the answer, happily. His mental age matched his appearance; although he was quite old, his actual experiences were rather limited.

"If only the city were full of such people."

The Golden Dragon watched the departing figure and remarked, then directly summoned,

"Gugefer!"

[I’m here]

"Are there any idle Battle Mages available now? Send them a battle invitation for me."

Noah, who no longer shirked responsibility, chose to become the Sun Governor and had already adjusted his mindset.

The residual prestige of his foster parents could still intimidate everything, but Noah had begun laying down plans ahead of time, targeting those with an intense desire for power, taking strong actions.

He didn’t intentionally suppress or target by withholding resources. There was no need for such underhanded actions; he merely often sent these individuals battle invitations.

Initially, many Extreme Intent Mages enthusiastically accepted challenges, competing with a Dragon Clan skilled in casting spells. For many self-confident mages, this opportunity was highly sought after.

However, after facing Noah once or twice, no mage wanted to fight anymore, as the Golden Dragon, carrying an intent to establish authority, showed no restraint.

Even without relying on the inherently strong physique of a Dragon, Noah could suppress a group of mages with just Magic Extreme Intent. Mages who grasped such intent were walking spell turrets, with statuses several ranks higher than mages of the same realm, belonging to the first-class mage.

The vast majority of mages broke through by relying on the Extreme Intent of Qi, which meant continuously accumulating mana and spiritual power until reaching a limit that caused a qualitative change, triggering a transformation in life’s essence to break through.

Actually, this was considered the orthodox mainstream promotion path, with this method having the most spellcasters advancing. As for Magic Extreme Intent, it was the path for true geniuses; ordinary mages shouldn’t even consider it.

[Alright, please wait a moment]

Faced with Noah’s invitation, in Mage City now, few were willing to engage in battle exchanges with him. Experiencing the feeling of being crushed once was enough; no one liked experiencing it multiple times.

Therefore, Noah allowed mages to form teams and cooperate to confront him. He also wanted to use this approach to test the limits of his combat power. He needed to understand himself thoroughly.

Unfortunately, even by rallying the academic-focused Extreme Intent Mages, five Extreme Intent Mages working together still couldn’t withstand a slightly serious Noah, all being utterly defeated and unable to counter him head-on.

"We need Extreme Intent Warriors to withstand your frontal attacks!"

After being overpowered by Noah once again, one of the mages made a strongly suggested request, with other mages unanimously agreeing, demanding that melee spellcasters must be brought in to cooperate with them; otherwise, the battle couldn’t be fought.

"Hmm, I’ll see if I can find a few to join."

Thus, Noah naturally extended his Dragon Claw, targeting the Extreme Intent Knight Captains of the Augustus family.

These Extreme Intent Warriors still didn’t know the inside story. Even Cassius’s completion of a transformation was unknown to them.

Although they were attracted by Cassius, hardly anyone received much guidance. But that didn’t matter now; they had all found their place on this land, with interests restraining them, they basically wouldn’t run away.

In Noah’s eyes, these Extreme Intent Knights were also targets that needed to be subdued and intimidated.

They came because of his foster father. If you want to capture their hearts without achieving Legend, you must give them a good beating until they submit completely.

On this point, warriors are much more straightforward than mages. Once subdued, they generally concede and won’t cause trouble, peacefully accepting the outcome.

If not, it doesn’t matter; at most, a few more beatings. Compared to external future threats, Noah values internal stability more.

In this respect, there is no shortcut; only by demonstrating overwhelming absolute power, so no one dares to harbor even the slightest thought of resistance or intention to stir up trouble, staying obediently in their original positions, contributing their share of strength.
