Chapter 313: Chapter 204 Holy Dragon Eastern Emergence Plan_2

"You know?"

"Of course I know, those elves look so familiar, didn’t you see? That guy whose expression looks so cold as if it’s carved from ice, he’s the Great Councilman of the Silver Moon Council."

"You know all this? What else?"

"And that person, the very well-known Chief Queen Staff of the Elven Royal Court..."

A Brass Dragon and a Red Copper Dragon were whispering, while Noah listened expressionlessly.

Ignoring the intimidating titles and noble status of the attending elves, Noah could basically draw a conclusion.

The relationship between the Atlas Kingdom and the Elven Royal Court was becoming closer, and they might cooperate in more domains, possibly forming an alliance between the two powerful nations.

This was completely different from the Tidel era. Tidel himself didn’t have much resistance or resentment towards elves, he just had some opinions on the blessings bestowed by the Elf Seven Gods on his granddaughter.

From a secular point of view, it was difficult for Tidel to dislike the elves because they genuinely offered rare treasures hard to find in the world.

However, because of Noah’s preferences and influence, the relationship between the Elven Royal Court and the Atlas Kingdom remained very indifferent. Even with the blessings of the Seven Gods, the spread of faith in the Elf God System in the Atlas Kingdom was also difficult.

It’s not that Noah deliberately targeted them; rather, Tidel, after listening to the advice of the Holy Dragon, introduced many True God faiths. As long as it was a normally preaching True God Church, it could enter the Atlas Kingdom and gain official recognition.

There was no church that had attempted to obtain the sole missionary rights from Tidel, wanting to become the national religion of the Atlas Kingdom, but unfortunately, no church has succeeded so far.

Not to mention becoming the national religion, even churches that attempt to bribe local senior officials, collude with nobles, and achieve a dominant faith presence in certain regions will mysteriously be suppressed.

This was the faith balance policy proposed by Noah, absolutely not allowing any divine power to expand significantly in the secular realm of the Atlas Kingdom. Only when the faiths of all gods balance each other can royal authority maintain its supreme status and independence.

Now, this policy is still being maintained, and Uranos has not undermined the faith balance policy but has instead learned to reference it, introducing new forces from outside.

Elven Royal Court

Noah remembered how furious Uranos was when a natural demigod offspring was born. At that time, the Golden Dragon had no doubt that if given a weapon capable of killing gods, Uranos would dare to wield it against the elves’ gods.

Looking now, the dignitaries of the Elven Royal Court could appear at his coronation ceremony, at ease, laughing and chatting with not a hint of crisis or tension.

This was a scene never to be seen at Tidel’s coronation ceremony. The elves attending the ceremony back then were so nervous, even the High Priest, as prestigious as a legend, didn’t dare let go of his magic wand throughout the ceremony.

But now, even top-tier elven nobles Noah had never seen appeared at the venue, looking as naturally as if they were at home. Judging by their demeanor, it didn’t seem like it was their first visit.

Evidently, the increasing cooperation and the closer relationship between the Atlas Kingdom and the Elven Royal Court had started long ago, it was only now that Noah noticed.

"A qualified king does not make decisions based on personal likes and dislikes."

Countless times, Noah had expressed this sentiment,

"I really taught well back then, and you really followed it."

Noah looked toward the already present young man, with black hair and golden eyes, coupled with the awe-inspiring aura of just having broken into legend, overshadowing the entire venue, attempting to dominate the whole city.

In such ceremonial settings, all attending guests naturally give the new king the respect he deserves, even though many legends, including Noah himself, could easily break this aura, but it’s unnecessary.

The Golden Dragon was very certain that in his heart, Uranos was very loathsome and repelled by elves.

It’s important to note that over the years, Uranos, as a father, had never seen his demigod daughter even once, yet he could now cooperate with the Elven Royal Court.

"Everything prioritizes national interest!"

Seeing the results of his careful guidance in the past, Noah couldn’t help but sigh, feeling a bit of indescribable regret, even though this was the monarch he wanted, he didn’t quite want to see it truly manifest before his eyes.

"How are your respective territories developing?"

The Golden Dragon somewhat abruptly inquired of the Dragon Lords beside him.

"My territory is developing very well, with an economic and population growth rate that has consistently maintained a 10% increase every year for the past three years!"

"Haha, mine is also doing well, there are no more people starving."

"Are you all developing so well? How did you do it? Teach me, I even built an underground city, but it hasn’t been of any use!"

Even though the number of Dragon Lords present was less than a quarter, it still gave Noah very remarkable feedback.

Not all dragons are skilled at managing a territory. Some dragons, even if taught hand-in-hand, can’t do well, simply lacking the talent and ability in this area.

"I plan to expand territory to the east, who among you is interested in joining?"

Although his own battle group was still being assembled, and the subsequent eastern expansion didn’t even have a plan yet, only a vague idea, Noah still tried to involve the Dragon Lords under his command.

It was not about exploiting them, purely out of concern for their safety.

Dragons lacking ability shouldn’t continue to mix in the Atlas Kingdom. It is foreseeable that with Uranos truly ascending to power, the comfortable times for Dragon Lords throughout the country will end.

Before reaching legendary status, Uranos actually targeted or adjusted his own people.

Especially the Augustus family, which was tormented by him; he turned the family into his base that obeys only him.

As for other forces within the kingdom, he acted superficially, and even developed a very friendly diplomatic relationship with the Elven Royal Court.

Noah didn’t believe that this nephew of his, after becoming a legend and truly ascending to the throne, would still be so restrained. Within the kingdom, there probably wouldn’t be many legendary forces he wouldn’t dare to target and suppress.

The second-generation king will surely take further actions, not only against those legendary families who seemed detached from the Royal Family and maintained a loose connection with the kingdom, but even the hundreds of Dragon Lords under his command will undergo a round of cleansing and review.

Those with enough ability can try to see if they can endure. Uranos won’t clean out all Dragon Lords, some will definitely be left, as the kingdom still has great use for their alternative names.

Dragons lacking ability should leave early for some dignity; otherwise, if the new king finds an excuse to confiscate their territory, it would be truly disgraceful.

While Noah couldn’t think of what excuse Uranos would use to bypass him and target Dragon Lords, Noah believed that this qualified king would find a way.

"Expanding territory? I’m interested!"

"I want to participate too."

Several previously disinterested Bronze Dragons immediately brightened up, immediately gathering around Noah with great enthusiasm, asking keenly,

"Is it to lead troops to expand ourselves?"

"How will the conquered land be calculated?"

"Yeah, how much should we tribute from our conquered achievements?"

The questions from the Bronze Dragons left Noah a bit taken aback because he originally intended to take those Metal Dragons without management skills away in advance, to allow them to gracefully end their lives as lords. However, the Bronze Dragons’ questions sparked new ideas for Noah.

Why must the territories be given away?

They could be used entirely as resource collection points and recruitment centers for soldiers.

Even if reaching an irretrievable point, all the creatures and resources in the territory should be exhausted and taken away, leaving the ground unscathed only if dug down seven or eight meters—it wouldn’t be considered complete otherwise.
