Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 252 - 174 The Birth of a Tyrant, Hell’s Son
Chapter 252: Chapter 174 The Birth of a Tyrant, Hell’s Son
"Noah, regarding the location of the Capital, do you have any suggestions?"
"You’re about to become King, why can’t you make your own decisions? Why always ask others?"
Noah looked at the old man in front of him and couldn’t help but say helplessly,
"Don’t you have your own thoughts?"
"I want to set the Capital in Elisium, but there are many voices of opposition!"
Tidel was also helpless, he had made a decision, but unfortunately, many did not support it.
"Choosing the city where the family’s power is strongest as the Kingdom Capital is not wrong; you can also take advantage of the Capital’s special political status to further develop the city and enhance the family’s prosperity.
But haven’t you considered one geographic factor? Elisium City is too remote, on the edge of the Eastern Territory’s civilized world. You rule the Eastern Territory, most of the area known to be developed by all civilizations.
You need to choose the Capital in the core of civilization, which is conducive to governance, and it must be in a place the Augustus family has never set foot in. This way, you can further expand your range of rule and influence."
"The area we currently influence is already quite extensive; no legend would dare defy my orders now."
Upon hearing Noah mention the range of rule again, Tidel had to reaffirm.
"That’s because you haven’t yet touched their fundamental interests, so they naturally are willing to obey your orders on superficial things.
But this is far from enough; you need to continually consolidate and strengthen your authority. You want to become a true Monarch, rather than just a commander of a federated state."
"It’s already quite good now."
Tidel felt somewhat annoyed; if it weren’t impossible and unrealistic, he really wanted to toss the crown on his head onto this dragon’s head to save him from continually nagging by his side.
"Think of your child; do you think he will be satisfied with your current achievements? Some things, if you don’t do them, once you retreat, and he takes the throne, he will surely do them. Your extra effort now will save him ten times the effort in the future."
Noah advised earnestly.
"I understand, I will rebuild Uther City in the center of the Eastern Territory!"
The discussion between the New King and the Golden Dragon was thus concluded, and a city destined for millennia of prosperity began to be built in the center of the Eastern Territory’s civilization.
The location of this Capital was not within the original United Kingdom territory because of the instigation of a certain Holy Dragon; the New King directly set the Capital in the most controversial no man’s land in the Eastern Territory, at the junction of the three legendary duchies.
Such areas are actually not uncommon and are often set up as buffer zones to reduce conflict and war between two adjacent major powers.
In these areas, it is the easiest for darkness to breed, with the emergence of numerous gray industries; don’t expect any law and order. All kinds of people gather in one place, not to mention infamous criminals; these beings are nothing here. Hell’s followers, demon followers, and even real evil demons have a chance to be seen.
However, with the establishment of the new kingdom, all these areas suffered devastating blows, and the Holy Dragon’s appointment of hundreds of dragons was a round of purging through these areas. The current site selection for the Capital is a more deadly strangulation.
After the Hell disaster, there were so many devils left on this land; although the Holy Dragon once led troops for a round of sweeping, it was far from enough.
"From today, this land will be the foundation of my future ruling Kingdom!"
The middle-aged man with a slight frost on his temples walked with hands behind his back, strolling high above the skies, as the howling gale transformed into a visible wind-blown bridge, enabling him to walk as if on flat ground.
Behind him, three legends looked at each other, their expressions not very pleasant.
Although Tidel’s status and evaluation within the Augustus family were not high, neither better than his parents, nor his son, even compared to his wife, who was about to break through to become a legend, he seemed rather ordinary.
However, he, who had integrated with four Titan Blood Essences, was practically invincible in the mundane world. During the Hell invasion, he was the mainstay of the coalition forces.
At that time, there was also a Paladin of Near Saint level who could match his strength, but with the end of the Hell disaster, that Near Saint went south, many Ancient Dragons returned, and the short-lived return of Casius ended with him being trapped in Hell. Now, Tidel had become the Eastern Territory’s top combat strength.
No legend dared to challenge Tidel alone, and even several legends together would be intimidated facing him.
Now Tidel strongly stepped into the midst of the three legendary powers, forcing them with two choices: either the three powers unite to drive him away, or Tidel presses on their power, oppresses their families.
Obviously, these three melee legends couldn’t achieve the former, so their only option was to concede, but even concession didn’t mean the end.
Because once the Capital was built, their original sphere of influence would be incorporated into the Royal Domain, which belonged to the Royal Authority’s vassalage. If they didn’t want to be oppressed by the New King, their only choice was to move, but how could they possibly be willing!
Unable to fight, and unwilling to move, it seemed their only option was one: to completely submit to the Augustus family, becoming vassals of the Royal Family!
This event regarding the location of the Capital, although it did not cause much turmoil, significantly changed the perception of Tidel. To many legends, Tidel was a ruler with a resilient character but extremely gentle and easy to get along with.
