Dragon Monarch System
Chapter 211

For the next few days, everything remained calm. After the first confrontation between both Dragon Empires, both Empires remained quiet and calm as if both had forgotten about the ongoing war. While some people who lived outside the Southern region might think that everything was beginning to calm down and there would be no war, only the people who lived in the Southern region knew that this peaceful atmosphere would end very soon. One of the biggest storms of the Dying Isle continent's history was preparing itself.

While it was normal for two Empires or two Kingdoms to fight each other while trying to expand their territory, a war that involved most of the major Empires of the Dying Isle continent was no small thing. Even the big Empires on other continents were paying attention to this war. As of right now, it was been confirmed that other than the Southern Fire Dragon Empire and the Northern Frost Dragon Empire, four major Empires are going to be participating in this war.

These 4 Empires had their own long history. In fact among the 4 Empires, two of the Empires had a very long history. These two Empires existed almost for 700 to 800 hundred years.

In the West of the Southern region, belonging to the Western region of the Dying Isle continent, The Storm Empire and its greatest rival The Cloud Earth Empire have joined this war. It was the Storm Empire that choose Northern Frost Dragon Empire. In response, the Cloud Earth Empire who was the Storm Empire's greatest rival and biggest enemy joined the Southern Fire Dragon Empire's side.

The northern region of the Dying Isle continent was made up of thousands of small and big islands. The northern region remained cold for almost 8 months throughout the year. This made the life in northern region tougher compared to other regions. The Northern islands also had several Empires that have existed for more than 7 centuries now. While these Empires often clashed, but if the Northern Islands were ever attacked by any foreign fore, all these Empires joined hands and defeated the enemy.

Belong to the Northern islands, The Ageless Islands, and its neighbor the Mist Ocean decided to join the Southern Fire Dragon Empire and the Northern Frost Dragon Empire. The purpose of these two Empires taking part in this war was to gain more benefits. In fact, the Mist Ocean had one of the best and most advanced naval forces on the whole continent. While the Ageless Islands are the most number of water mages. This made it almost impossible for anyone to invade the Ageless Islands as their water mages used seawater to attack the enemy.

If all the armies of these 6 Empires are combined together then this army would become the strongest Army with the power to defeat any Empire on the Dying Isle continent. The total combined number of armies that these 6 Empires had was over 6.5 million. There is no doubt that if all these 6 Empires fights in the Southern region, this war will become the most violent and chaotic war that happened in the Dying Isle continent's land in the last 500 years.

Sitting on the throne of the Sky Line King, Aditya was currently going through the total earnings and expenditures of the Kingdom. The more Aditya read the more he wondered how did King Kane manage to keep the Kingdom from falling for this long.

"Your Majesty, I apologize for interrupting you but I have some urgent news." Aditya stopped reading. He put the notebook on his lap and then looked at Watson who was in a disguise. Right now, everyone from the Istarin Empire was in disguise. Even Aditya was in a disguise. Right now his entire face looked very different. With Julia's help, Aditya was able to change his face and his hair color.

The reason for this change was to keep the news of the Sky Line Kingdom being sold to the Istarin Empire. If the news leaked out before the war could even officially begin, the Southern Fire Dragon Empire would send its full army to drive the Istarin empire out. Brolbiner, the Black Dragon King understood and knew the importance of the Sky Line Kingdom and the presence of the Istarin Empire in the southern land. If this happened, even though Aditya is not afraid of taking on the enemy, his plans would be spoiled and the element of surprise will be lost.

"The armies of the Storm Empire, The Cloud Earth Empire, The ageless Islands, and the Mist Ocean have arrived in the Southern region. The Storm Empire has bought 300,000 Peak 1st-order soldiers and 50,000 second-order mages who are experts in using wind magic. The Cloud Earth Empire has sent 300,000 Peak 1st-order soldiers and 50,000 second-order Earth mages." Aditya noticed the more Watson read, the more shocked he looked. However, Aditya remained completely calm. After fighting in the Goblin invasion and after killing millions of mutant fire ants, to Aditya an army of 1,000,000 was nothing.

Aditya calmly listened to Watson's words with his eyes closed. He couldn't help but wonder why both Ageless Islands and Mist Ocean have chosen different sides. "The Ageless Islands have sent a total of 450,000 of their water mages. Among the 450,000 troops, 100,000 of the troops are second-order water mages. 50,000 of the water mages are 3rd-order cultivators. The army is being led by Five Peak 4th-order commanders of the Ageless islands. While their neighbor, the Mist Ocean sent 10 of their Peak 4th-order water mages and 300,000 1st and 2nd-order troops."

"Why did both Ageless Islands and Mist Ocean have chosen different sides when both Empires are on good terms and are allies?" Aditya voiced out his curiosity. This whole situation was making Aditya learn more about the powerful Empires of the Dying Isle continent.

"I am not too sure of the reason. But according to our spies, there seems to be some friction going on between both Empires over a girl. This girl is a princess of a certain Empire. Both Emperors have taken a liking to her and want to marry her."

"Oh, that's interesting." Both Ageless islands and Mist Ocean Emperors were very young and were of the same age. In fact, both Emperors attended the same school.

"Now that everyone is ready. I am sure that war will begin anytime. All the forces are now ready. The time and the battlefield haven't been decided yet. Once the war begins, we won't have much time." These few days, Aditya has been extremely busy. He has been working non-stop. There were so many that needed to be fixed.

The first thing that Aditya completely eliminated was to kill all the traitors. When Aditya took over, Kane gathered all the nobles, the servants, the commanders, maids, royal officials, and everyone else who worked at the Castle.

After Kane left, using this opportunity he asked if everyone would like to continue working under him. Aditya promised them a raise in their salary and promised them better treatment. While almost everyone agreed to continue to work under Aditya, some of the royal officials decided to quit. While Aditya let them go in front of everyone, as soon as they stepped out of the castle, Nathan and his men took care of them.

Those of decided to quit were actually spies of the Southern Fire Dragon Empire and the Northern Frost Dragon Empire. Around 805 of the spies belonged to the Southern Fire Dragon Empire. Apparently, it seemed that the Black Dragon King was keeping an eye on Kane and his movements. After the spies were eliminated in silence without anyone ever knowing about it, those who worked for Aditya had to bind their souls with a contract. The contract was in fact very simple. Betray the Istarin Empire and you will die.

When Aditya explained the terms and conditions of the contract, everyone agreed. Though Aditya saw some looking displeased and wanting to protest. Two of the nobles even went far as to complain out loud and wanted to quit. However, Aditya wasn't going to let that happen. Before he bought the Sky Line Kingdom, using Alicia's connections he was able to learn about everything that he needed to know about this Kingdom. Knowing that these nobles were corrupted and rotten, Aditya publicly killed them and ordered Watson to take their wealth and property.

Even if some did not like the way how Aditya was binding them with a contract, Aditya had to do it. Aditya knew that he had to take this step to keep his enemies away. After everyone was placed under a contract, Aditya revealed his identity and announced a new order. The previous ranks of the commanders, nobles, and royal officials were taken and given new ranks. The Dukes of the Kingdom was made Viscount. Aditya also added the merit point system.

In the end, everyone was happy that they were under the Istarin Empire. Aditya turned all the commanders and the nobles into Dragonians by giving them a drop of his bloodline. All the 2nd-order commanders instantly became 3rd-order powerhouse after becoming dragonians.

After all, this was done, Aditya and Watson worked hard to give everyone new tasks and missions. Aditya also gave the remaining nobles one week time to clean their mess and stop all illegal business. The commanders were ordered to clean the entire Sky Line Kingdom of criminals. Aditya also didn't forget to order everyone to not disclose his identity. With that, Aditya had taken the first big step in rebuilding this territory.

After everyone was sent off to do their own work. Aditya became busy reviewing the records of the past. He also started reviewing the policies and laws that the previous Kings and rulers of this land made. So many of Kane's policies are only weakening the Kingdom. The policies which he thought would push his Kingdom's economy were harming the Kingdom itself.

The entire process of rebuilding the Kingdom was easy for Aditya. Alicia and Julia actively helped him out. It was difficult to keep the news from leaking out.

And finally, after 4 days, the war that involved the 6 strongest Empires of the Dying Isle started at the central plains which were located right between both Dragon Empires.
