Chapter 308: Chapter 202: The Cold-hearted Political Monster

"What a grand gesture!"

Noah watched as the delegation from the Capital, spreading the king’s decree, slowly disappeared into the distance, then looked at Sifreya, who was still stupefied beside him,

"So, what do you think? Are you satisfied with the compensation offered by the Augustus family? Do you still feel it is a slight to my dignity?"

"Uranos, has he gone mad?"

Upon hearing the master’s question, the Dragon Elf Sifreya finally came to his senses. However, the Dragon Elf, who was struggling to digest the news, gave an even harsher evaluation of the New King.

This was primarily because the delegation from the Capital, representing the New King’s will, brought news of rewards that were so shocking, one couldn’t help but want to verify their authenticity.

As a group of Fairies extending the will of Holy Dragon Noah, they faced unprecedented political suppression from the Capital, causing tens of thousands of Fairies to lose everything.

This was not merely an act of suppression against the Fairy Race; it could be seen as both a provocation and contempt for the Holy Dragon’s majesty. Many of the Holy Dragon’s Favored became restless, and numerous Dragon Lords who depended on the Holy Dragon were unsettled.

Just when the kingdom’s order showed signs of turmoil, a decree of rewards silenced all discussions, debates, and actions taken to counter unforeseen events.

All the noise disappeared because the rulers of the Capital expanded the Holy Dragon’s territory.

This was a very normal operation, after all. Not only was the group led by the Holy Dragon an indispensable colossus in the kingdom’s politics, but it was also a cornerstone of the kingdom’s military and would one day dominate like a Heavenly Veil Giant Beast among nations.

Such an operation was not surprising, but the surprising part was that the Capital gave so much, so much that many members of the Augustus family found it unbearable.

Elisium City, hailed as the Titan City, Elf Capital, Knight Academy City, and the preferred place for Eastern Territory Spellcasters, was bestowed upon Noah, becoming the Holy Dragon’s fief.

It is a super city with a permanent population of over three million, and with transient residencies, it can exceed five million. It’s not an exaggeration to say Elisium is the first city of the Eastern Territory.

The power of a single city is enough to rival a nation.

The wealth accumulated in this city is so vast that many duchies on the continent can only look up to it, and the number of strong individuals gathered here is even more unimaginable.

Although not everyone is a Transcendent, nor can everyone cast spells, in most regions, Radiant Gold Realm Professionals who could dominate are commonplace here, walking less than a hundred meters and encountering one is ordinary.

Such a rich and prosperous city, before the kingdom was even founded, made Tidel, who was ready to wear the crown, hesitate and consider making Elisium the Capital.

However, due to geopolitical considerations at the time, Noah advised Tidel to build the current Royal City, Uther, in the central region of the Eastern Territory.

Even now, Uther City, which can gather the developmental wealth of the entire kingdom, still cannot compare to Elisium City.

After all, this city was built and developed by the Augustus family for more than half a century, and during the Hell Disaster, it gathered the most resistance forces and wealth in the Eastern Continent.

Yet, such a city was handed over to Noah by a stroke of the pen from the second-generation King Uranos, who has not yet ascended and still lurks in the shadows.

This kind of reward was so generous that even many Subordinates under Noah who originally held grievances and had intentions of acting on them were at a loss for words.

What more could be said?

This is Elisium City!

The first city built by the Augustus family after their true rise, developed over eighty years by the might of the whole family.

Uther is the origin city of the Augustus family, now rebuilt to become the Capital, yet Elisium City is the core land of the Augustus family, the heart of the Augustus family.

Now, when they return the heart, no matter how big and heavy the grievances, they are trivial and insignificant in the face of such a generous gift.

And that’s not all; the yet-to-be-crowned Uranos provided compensation to his uncle and mentor, which extended beyond just one city, Elisium.

Among the twenty-one citadels built around this super city, although not directly given to Noah as fiefs, the administrative appointments among them were granted to Noah.

This means Noah could freely appoint and dismiss officials managing these cities, which was no different from directly granting them to him as fiefs.

This expansion of territory and reward directly dispelled all rumors claiming the Augustus family and the Dragon Clan were on the verge of splitting and confronting each other.

The Augustus family gave all the core fiefs established before the kingdom to the Dragon Clan, such trust and favor! Anyone who still claims a royal and Dragon Clan opposition would be considered a fool.

The entire Atlas Kingdom was shaken by this decree, and as for the internal Augustus family, it wasn’t just a shake; it was utter chaos.

Because it was equivalent to giving the Dragon Clan all the accomplishments from the rise of the first-generation family head, Casius, to Tidel’s ascension and kingdom establishment.

How could it not cause an uproar!

Thus, Uranos, acting with the power of the family head, showed he was more iron-fisted and ruthless than his father.
