Chapter 386 The Beginning of the War

"Your Majesty, there are rumors in all continents and even in the deep sea that you plan to conquer the world. Do you think we should clarify it?"

In the magnificent and wide palace that seemed to be inhabited by the gods, Di Ruier looked down and hesitated for a long time before he finally decided to come over to ask the probing Holy Knight Terunsu. A smile appeared in his eyes.

"No need to clarify!"

"Your Majesty, if this matter is not clarified, I'm afraid all the countries in the world will..."

Hearing Di Ruier's words, the legendary Holy Knight with tired eyes suddenly became anxious.

"This is not a rumor. What they said is true. I am indeed preparing for the war to unify the world."

The Dragon Emperor, who was perched on the golden and jade platform, spoke. His voice echoed in the deep palace, like the roar of thousands of thunders.

Even the legendary Holy Knight couldn't help but be shaken by it. After a moment of stunnedness, he suddenly looked up, his eyes full of fear and shock.

"This..."

"What's wrong? What's the problem?"

Looking at the paladin whose lips trembled but didn't know what to say, Diriel's tone became more relaxed.

When the paladin set foot on the Sedellin Islands, everything about him was laid out in front of Diriel. His inquiry just now not only represented himself, but also the answer that many forces in the world were eager to know.

The dragon nest troops made in imitation of the Zerg are becoming more and more perfect, which makes many national forces in the Carlos world deeply uneasy.

After all, the Dragon Emperor has never concealed his ambitions and desires. As long as he accumulates enough power, he will definitely control and conquer more land.

The most important thing is that the emperor's rule is too harsh, especially for nobles and merchants. The legal shackles imposed on them are even more severe than those on civilians.

Therefore, some forces that still have illusions and expectations have contacted the paladin in various ways, hoping to understand the thoughts of the dragon emperor through the paladin's channels.

"How many deaths will be caused by the war to unify the world?"

Telunsu muttered to himself. This was a number he dared not imagine, because in the history of the world, no monarch had ever started a war of this scale. Those who could unify the continent were considered to be overlords and emperors who had not appeared in tens of thousands of years.

"Why do you think so?"

Di Ruier looked at the pale-faced holy warrior and could imagine what these stubborn guys would do next, so he asked without waiting for him to speak,

"Shouldn't we think about how many casualties can be reduced after I unify the world?"

"This..."

After hearing Di Ruier's words, Terunsu was dumbfounded. He didn't expect the emperor to say such a thing.

"But in the process of the unification war..."

"Even if I don't fight the unification war, aren't they killing each other? In this case, why don't I send troops and decide the outcome in one battle? From now on, no one can start a war without my permission, and the world will usher in a long-term peace."

Di Ruier's tone was calm. The fourth-level dragon nest was about to come out, and after this level of dragon nest came out, it would be the beginning of his unification war.

This is a plan that has been decided and will not be changed because of anyone. The reason why he said so much to the holy warrior is just to make this group of holy warriors be more peaceful and not stand against him because of the instigation of certain forces. Otherwise, he will feel very sorry.

"Our world is too chaotic. Someone should have established a stable order long ago. Only when the order is established can peace be ushered in."

"Alas!"

The holy warrior Terunsu sighed. He can now be sure that the dragon emperor's intention to unify the world is unshakable and will not change because of his persuasion, and his ideas will not change because of the dragon emperor's high-sounding words.

He admitted that the world will usher in long-term peace if it completes the unification and establishes a complete order, and the number of people who die in war will be greatly reduced.

But all this is based on the victory of the unification war. What if the war fails? Or such a war falls into a stalemate, which will only create meat grinders one after another, devouring the lives of countless creatures.

Even if the dragon emperor thought that the legion he established swept across the world and truly unified the world, whose order would his unified order benefit?

Naturally, it was the dragon race. This was an answer that could be obtained without thinking.

Then what about other races besides the dragon race? Under the rule of a bronze dragon emperor who was gradually moving towards extremes, how should races including the human race deal with themselves?

Become a lower-level vassal group for the emperor to cultivate his dependents? Provide him with dragon descendants continuously and become cannon fodder for his conquests?

Although he had not seen everything the emperor did on the Altom continent with his own eyes, he had confirmed it through multiple channels, or he had already seen it a long time ago, but he had been deliberately avoiding it before.

The dragon emperor in front of him had already mastered the method of transforming a large number of alien races into dragon creatures, which was digging into the root of the race.

Once the dragon emperor unifies the world, and then promotes this method, it will only take a thousand years for the world to be full of dragons, and the human race will become dragon-humans.

It sounds good, but as a holy warrior from the human race, he absolutely cannot accept and tolerate such a thing.

The human race will never become a vassal, and the current era should not be the era of the dragon race dominating the world.

"Your Majesty, I want to resign as the vice president of the Holy Martial Academy."

"Well, it's approved."

Di Ruier could vaguely guess the thoughts of the holy warriors, and he would not be too tolerant of these holy warriors who gradually developed a rebellious mentality.

However, Di Ruier also felt that these holy warriors might have some misunderstandings about him. Although he likes to massacre cities, he is not the kind of extremely extreme bronze dragon in the conventional cognition.

Hearing that Di Ruier had no intention of retaining him, Terunsu was stunned, and then left the Sedellin Islands with a bitter heart.

Not long after the Holy Warrior left, Holy Warriors in the Holy Warrior Academy submitted their resignations one after another and no longer served. The response to the mass resignation of these Holy Warriors was the same.

Correct!

Now Di Ruier's subordinates are no longer the same as before. At the beginning, they were really poor and penniless. No matter what they wanted to do, it was difficult to find enough high-level talents that they could trust, so they could only entrust Holy Warriors.

Now, a large number of dragon people transformed from short-lived species are spread all over major cities. Even if the Holy Warriors resigned in large numbers, the positions they left behind would soon be replaced by dragon people in time.

However, the positions replaced by dragon people will inevitably have problems such as low administrative efficiency and corruption. After all, it is impossible to expect dragon species not to be greedy, which is rooted in the nature of blood.

This kind of thing can only be solved later. Now, the war machine that Di Ruier has spent a lot of energy to build over the past two hundred years is gradually running, showing its fangs, ready to swallow the world.

With the resignation of the holy warriors, many wars around the world, which were originally accompanied by chaos and the advent of the times, with increasing intensity and frequency, have strangely gradually subsided, and both sides of the war have tacitly stopped fighting.

The world of Carlos has actually entered an extremely rare period of peace. Except for some remote and closed areas where the flow of information is extremely slow, there are also small-scale conflicts and wars. There is no war of a larger scale in the world.

However, such a strange period of peace, except for those ignorant people at the bottom who celebrate it, people with a little knowledge will feel a kind of fear and worry about it.

This is like the short tranquility on the sea before the storm is about to come. The quieter it is, the more it means that the coming storm is particularly fierce and may even destroy everything.

"I once heard a truth. When others say that you plan to destroy the world, you'd better really have a plan to destroy the world."

Diriel, who descended on the port of Punorando, looked at the golden dragon Su Hailun who was silent for a long time beside him and smiled.

"So, people all over the world are saying that you plan to conquer the world, so you are really going to conquer the world?"

Su Hailun, who didn't know what to say, couldn't help hearing Di Ruier's words.

"You said the order wrong, and the cause and effect are mixed up. I was preparing to conquer the world, and I didn't cover it up. They saw it, so they talked about it."

Di Ruier laughed.

"Isn't your territory enough now? You don't have so much energy to govern, what do you want so much land for?"

Su Hailun sighed. She was under a lot of pressure during this period. After all, she was a golden dragon, so many forces came to her, hoping that she, the queen, could persuade the emperor to change his mind. But this is impossible.

"You know my deepest secrets. I thought you would understand me, but I didn't expect..."

Seeing Su Hailun with the intention of persuading, Di Ruier couldn't help shaking his head. He didn't know how many people had come to the golden dragon during this period. Even though he was unparalleled in power, there were many forces trying to influence him.

"World Tree?!"

The golden dragon reacted immediately, and her expression changed.

"I want to be the Dragon King."

Di Ruier's voice was very flat, and there was no change from the previous one, but it was a different change in the ears of the golden dragon.

"But I don't plan to go to the void, nor do I want to be deified, so I only have one way left."

"I will fully support you and unify the world."

After knowing why her partner launched such a huge war, Su Hailun's thoughts changed completely, from trying to persuade to becoming a firm supporter.

Although she didn't understand why the unified world and the world tree, as well as her partner's promotion to the Dragon King, were connected, it was enough to know this secret.

"With your words, I feel relieved. I plan to set up a dragon nest production center in Punorando, and I need a guardian."

Di Ruier was not surprised by the change in Su Hailun's attitude, because he only needed to say a word to the ancient dragons who supported him, and even the dragons who were wavering or trying to persuade him would stand firmly on his side, even the colorful dragons were no exception.

The birth of the Dragon King is of great significance to the dragon clan as a whole, and will bring huge benefits. The entire dragon clan is a beneficiary, but it's just a matter of how much.

With such benefits, what if the medium-sized world with the possibility of promotion is stained with blood?

To be able to give birth to a Dragon King, even if it means destroying it, it is worth it, not to mention just conquering it.

"Are you going to start from Punorando as the starting point for your conquest of the world?"

"My plan is to fight on two fronts, and the Elmond continent has already started."

"You are too arrogant."

Hearing that Di Ruier was actually going to conquer two continents at the same time, Su Hailun frowned.

Whether it is her or Di Ruier, the reason why they can occupy so much land is because they have powerful power, and the power matches the interests they occupy. Other powerful forces tacitly agree that even if they lose some interests, it will not be a big deal.

But now it is different. Di Ruier is now ready to conquer the world, which means that even a pair of pants will be stripped off by those powerful forces, leaving them nothing.

In this case, those powerful forces that have been passed down for thousands of years will resist. It is difficult to say what kind of power will burst out when facing life and death in those powerful forces with ancient heritage and profound background.

Inducing the gods to descend incarnation can be said to be the most common means. Maybe they will find a way to lure in a few gods or star beasts from the star realm. This is a measure of mutual destruction.

This is still conceivable, and some are unimaginable. Strictly speaking, if you want to destroy any ancient force, you should go all out and should not underestimate it.

"This is not arrogance, but confidence."

Diriel stood on the top of the Orpheus Mountains. This magnificent mountain range that spans the continent spreads from the heart of the continent to the ocean, creating an extremely excellent super-large deep-water port.

In the eyes of the dragon emperor, under the deep sea, there are countless tree roots, spreading from the direction of the Sedellin Islands like dragons and snakes.

Just a few words between him and Su Hailun, the excellent harbor that allowed the construction of the Pronolando Port was covered with the roots of the world tree.

If Diriel did not intend to keep a low profile, these extended world tree roots would be enough to swallow Pronolando in an instant, or invade and transform it into a lush and verdant tree city.

But even so, the domain of the world tree also expanded here with the spread of the roots, and within the scope of the domain, Diriel is the god who dominates everything.
