Chapter 341 341:- What It Takes To Become A Dragonian



After Adam finished his words, everyone deeply started to think. Adam's words had made Daxton rethink this entire matter from a different angle.

'My mind is telling me that supporting Aditya in his war would lead to the end of My Empire. But my heart is telling me otherwise. I feel if I miss out, the entire Echo Dominion Empire will make a huge loss.' Daxton stared into Adam's eyes. Daxton never questioned Adam's loyalty.

He knew even if the world were to end, Adam would never betray this Empire. In fact, it wouldn't be wrong to say that Daxton had blind faith in Adam and the Onard Family.

'Aditya is his son-in-law. Adam knows more about Aditya and the Istarin Empire than me. And I am sure Adam knows what he is suggesting.' Daxton sighed before making up his mind to follow what his heart was telling him.

"I have made up my mind. The Echo Dominion Empire and the Istarin Empire are close allies. Hence, we won't let our ally go to this battlefield alone. The Echo Dominion Empire will help the Istarin Empire in this war. While doing so, we will also get our revenge on our greatest rival."

"Your Majesty, please reconsider. Going into war would mean that we would be facing enemies from all sides. Facing attacks from all sides, I don't think we can hold on till the Istarin Empire's troops arrive." Duke Campbell was really worried. Not just Duke Campbell, other than Adam, all other nobles looked worried as well. But they didn't have to courage to say it in front of the emperor like Adam and Campbell.

"I know you all are worried. But Aditya is my son-in-law. I know him very well. Did you guys forget what he did during the Goblin Invasion? Now that his strength has grown, he can wipe out an entire army with a single attack. How can we lose when we have someone like him on our side?"

"Adam, what are you saying? How did the Istarin Emperor become your son-in-law?" Duke Campbell and others were still confused. Even though Adam's son-in-law and the Istarin Emperor had the same name, they always thought that both were different persons.

"Adam is not lying. The Istarin Emperor is the future husband of the goddess of Alchemy." Daxton now looked even more resolved to take this path. Adam's words had given Daxton the courage and the hope that he needed.

"Your Majesty, a letter from the Istarin Empire has arrived." While everyone was still in deep shock over the news, a letter from Aditya came to Echo Dominion Empire.

"Aditya wants to meet you and talk about this war." Without even needing to read the letter, Adam was able to guess what was written in that letter.

Daxton took the letter from the guard and read it for a minute before nodding his head in agreement. "You're right. I will have to make this trip to the Istarin Empire. Campbell and Adam, come with me." Daxton would have taken Adam only since Aditya is his son-in-law. But doing that would show that he is favoring Adam. He didn't want Duke Campbell to negatively view so he also asked Campbell to come.

Hearing the words of the Emperor, Campbell nodded his head. After so many months, Campbell wanted to see with his very own eyes just how far that monster had grown. In the goblin Invasion, Aditya had left a deep impression of his powers in Campbell's heart. He also wanted to use this chance to visit the Istarin Empire and see the Aditya with his own eyes.

Meanwhile, at the Istarin Empire

"Your Majesty, they are here."

Aditya who was making plans with Watson stopped and raised his head. "Bring them here." With his order, the big metals of the throne hall were opened by the guards.

As soon as both doors were opened, Aditya got to see more than 10,000 soldiers. Under Spencer's signal, all of them slowly walked inside the Throne hall.

A whole minute later, the whole Throne hall was filled with soldiers. This was the first time, that the throne hall had this many people. Aditya wasn't the type of King who would invite poets and musicians to his court to sing or make poetry for him. He would rather spend his time with his wives than listen to poetry and songs.

Of course, poetry and songs had their own beauty and Aditya appreciated good poetry but he didn't like poetry to the point where he would spend hours listening to it.

This is why, Throne Hall always had very few visitors. In fact, unlike other Kings, Aditya very rarely sat on the Throne. When he did, it would only be when he is meeting someone or having an important discussion with his people.

"I won't take your time. I know that you all have to prepare for the upcoming war. Since all of you are here, that means you're eligible to become Dragonians." Aditya can see the excitement in the eyes of the soldiers. It was to be excited. After all, the rank of the Dragonian was even higher than the elite soldier's rank.

When a soldier within the 7 Divisions became a Dragonian, their ranks within the 7 Divisions also rises. Their salaries and the benefits that they received were also increased. Compared to a normal soldier, a Dragonian received 10 royal gold coins per month as a salary.

Other than doing missions given by their Captains and Sub-Captains and other than participating in combat when needed, the Dragonians are given free time to cultivate. Unlike soldiers who are given various kinds of duties, Dragonians are given more resources and time to cultivate. While a normal soldier could only dream of cultivating inside the Dragon Palace, a Dragonian can come and cultivate inside the Dragon Palace depending on his rank and on his merits.

The Istarin Empire focuses on rising the strength of the Dragonians. Dragonians are given more importance than soldiers. Dragonians hold a unique prestige that a normal Soldier could only dream of. Dragonians are not treated as cannon fodders. Dragonians are the main core power of the Istarin Empire.

Every soldier in the Istarin military desires to become a Dragonian. It's a soldier's ultimate dream. It is said that when one transforms into a Dragonian, their talent for cultivation increases. Their cultivation makes a big jump. And their powers become very terrifying.

"However, becoming Dragonian comes with heavy responsibility. Each of you will become a frontline soldier. The Empire will rely on your strength to fight wars. Dragonian is not just a promotion or a power upgrade, it's a responsibility. You were chosen here because you all are worthy to carry the title and my Dragon blood. If I deem anyone to be unworthy of being a Dragonian, then I won't hesitate twice to take back what I will be given you now." Though Aditya has never tried it, he was sure that he can take back the powers of a Dragonian that came from his bloodline.

Hearing Aditya's words a few soldiers among the 10,000 showed a displeased look. They thought that becoming Dragonian would let them live a workfree life. Each month they would receive a big salary without having to do any work. But it seems they were wrong.

While some soldiers showed a look of fear after learning that they will become frontline fighters. These soldiers lacked the courage and the gut to become a true Dragonian.

Aditya noticed everything. Not just Aditya, Spencer, and Watson also noticed the changes in everyone's faces.

"You...you.....you...and you four....leave." Aditya said in a cold tone.

Hearing this soldiers at whom Aditya had pointed looked at Aditya in disbelief while some looked at Aditya in relief as they didn't want to become Dragonians after hearing about their responsibilities.

"You on the right end of the 4th row, leave."

"The one standing in the middle of the 9th row, leave."

"Leave....."

Around 10 minutes later, the number of soldiers standing in the throne hall had decreased. Now there are around 9,500 soldiers remaining.

Aditya stood up from his throne and looked at the soldiers. "I don't need cowards as my Dragonian. I don't want lazy soldiers either. If I find any of you not taking this seriously, I will strip you of your powers and title. If I can give it to you then I can also take it from you."

Today the soldiers saw that their Emperor can be cruel and cold towards them as well. Hearing his words, everyone nodded their heads in fear.

Seeing the faces of all the soldiers, Aditya nodded his head with a satisfied smile.

"Being a Dragonian means that you must be prepared to sacrifice your life for this Empire. You must be brave. You must be responsible. You must be hard-working. The Istarin Empire does not feed lazy people." As for the lazy soldiers who tried to become Dragonian, Aditya will ask Spencer to fire them and send away.

"Prepare yourselves. Don't resist. Just embrace it." Without wasting any more time, Aditya summoned his divine blood.

Those who had been sent out of the throne hall earlier saw an intense bright golden light coming from the Throne hall. A large amount of Mana was released.

At the same time, the Auras of nearly 10,000 soldiers began to rapidly change.
