Dragon Monarch System

After signing the contract, Spencer and Aditya spent some time distributing the troops who had surrendered. At the same time, each Viscount was given 100,000 royal gold coins to run and develop their own territories. The responsibility of production and the profits that are earned from selling Thunder Leaf Herb were handed to the 9 viscounts that governed the Shadow Islands.

Aditya let the small problems that the Viscounts were going to face into their own hands. He wasn't going to participate in such small matters. After all, he had bigger things in his hand. The contract prevented the nobles from betraying the Istarin Empire. And with the Shadow Guardian, from now on, their activities will be watched by Aditya. If any corruption was found, the shadow guardians would report it to Aditya.

Spencer also told the newly appointed viscounts about the Point earning system and its usage. He also explained why their ranks started from Viscount. As long as a noble had enough merit points, He can upgrade his rank to Earl or Marquess or even to the rank of Duke. He also explained the benefits that came with each higher rank.

Finally, after 3 hours of meeting, Aditya sent everyone to their territories. Before leaving, he gave each Viscount twenty 3rd-order Dragonians. The Dragonians would ensure their territories are protected till they build their own armies. Once the nobles are capable enough to stand on their own, the Dragonians would return.

By the time, Aditya was finished it was already 7 in the morning. Leaving Viscount Leon in charge of Zion City and Ashcour Island, Aditya, and others left the Shadow Islands Empire and returned to Azure City.

Aditya knew that in a few hours, the Echo Nexus Empire was going to find out what had happened and was going to declare War on the Istarin Empire. At the same time, when the news of the Istarin Empire conquering three Western powerhouses within a single night comes out, it was going to send shockwaves across the whole continent.

"Just thinking of what is going to happen in the future, I am already feeling tired." Aditya rubbed his forehead while walking toward the dining table. It was already time for breakfast. So instead of returning to his bedroom, he would have breakfast and talk with his family before this peaceful time runs out.

Once the War starts, Aditya would become super busy. He also has to finish this war or at least bring it to a standstill within 9 days. Aditya hopes that he won't have to spend too much time in Deep Sea Palace. Normally, Aditya wouldn't go there. No King would leave his Kingdom while his Kingdom is at war. But he had given his word to Laura. And he wasn't the type of person who would break his word.

"Good morning, everyone." Walking to the dining table, Aditya greeted everyone. There was Watson who was serving food. Spencer was sitting next to Leo. His seven generals were also present. Julia, Alicia, Riya, and Lara were also there. Lara's maid was standing behind Lara. She wore a mask. Lara's food was very different from others. Lara's maid personally prepared her lady's breakfast today. It was a special type of breakfast that Vampires enjoy a lot. The food that Lara's maid prepared was rich in Iron.

"Good morning, Aditya."

"Good morning."

"Good morning"

"Good..."

Aditya nodded at everyone before sitting down. Unlike other days, today's breakfast was different. Watson had specially asked the royal chief to cook Flaming chicken meat for everyone.

Flaming Chicken was a special chicken breed that is said to be a descendant of Phoenix. Flaming Chickens are like Wyverns that have connections to Dragons.

An average Flaming chicken is 3 to 4 times bigger than a normal chicken. Upon maturing, Flaming chicken can become Peak's 2nd-order powerhouse. Unfortunately, the attacking power of Flaming Chicken is really low. Even a Peak 1st-order human cultivator would easily win against Peak 2nd-order Flaming chicken.

Ironically Flaming Chicken can't use any flame-type attacks. The reason they were called Flaming Chickens is because of the Amber that radiates from their body.

The meat of Flaming Chicken is very delicious. Especially in noble circles, the meat of Flaming chicken is considered a luxurious treat. As Flaming Chicken is extremely difficult to capture. And they are only found in certain parts of the world.

"Let's eat." After Aditya, everyone else started eating. Watson took a chair next to Spencer and sat down to eat. No one said anything. Even though Watson was officially Aditya's personal butler, everyone knew that the old man was Aditya's right hand. Watson had more power and authority than even Spencer. Aside from that, Watson was the eldest one here. Everybody highly respected the old man.

"Did you find out anything about Lara's illness?" Yesterday, Riya and Julia had taken Lara to the laboratory.

Julia sighed in depression. "Unfortunately, I don't know anything about this kind of illness. The whole night I read many old books. But I couldn't find anything that matches Sister Lara's illness. I will need to do more research."

Julia was hoping to find something that would help her. But she couldn't find any related to Lara's illness. The only choice that Julia was left with was to create a pill that can cure Lara's illness. But to create a pill, Julia will need to learn more about her illness.

Aditya smiled and encouraged his wife. "Don't worry, take your time."

Julia nodded her head with a smile. "With Sister Riya's help, I should be able to find a cure for Sister Lara's illness in no time." At least this is what Julia hoped. Lara's illness was very mysterious. Deep down, Julia knew that it might even take her months if not years to develop a pill that is capable of curing Sister Lara. But Julia refused to acknowledge that. Julia felt that she can quicken the process with Riya's assistant.

"Thank you, Sister Julia." Yesterday, after spending the whole day with Julia, Riya, and Alicia, Lara got to learn many new things about this world. She also learned more about her husband and her sisters.

"Silly girl, there is no need to thank us. It's my responsibility to find a cure for you." As the goddess of Alchemy her pride wouldn't allow her to let her sister die because of some illness. Not to mention the fact that Julia saw Lara as her real Sister. It would make her sad if the sleeping princess died under her watch.

"Everyone, I want to tell you all something." Everyone's gaze was on Aditya.

"There is going to be a big war. This time our opponent will be the Echo Nexus Empire."

Silence!

The entire dining table fell into deep silence after Aditya finished his words. Everyone except for Lara knew about the tremendous power that the Echo Nexus Empire held. The Empire had the strongest military and the Empire had the strongest political allies.

Whenever the Echo Nexus Empire has gone to war, it has shaken the Entire Dying Isle continent. The Echo Nexus Empire is so strong that it wouldn't be wrong to call the Empire the King of the Dying Isle continent. Even though the Echo Nexus Empire is not big as the Istarin Empire, the Echo Nexus Empire had a huge history.

Whenever any Kingdom or Empire managed to get on Echo Nexus Empire's bad side, various kinds of sanctions would fall upon the enemy Empire. These sanctions would cripple the economy of the Enemy Empire. Their Empire would become totally isolated from the rest of the continent.

There was a certain Empire that had raised its voice against the Echo Nexus Empire. Within a month, that Empire lost all of its political support and its allies. Export and import with other neighboring Empires and Kingdoms were completely cut off.

Even though the Empire had the second-largest reserve of Mana stones in the Dying Isle continent, no Kingdom or Empire bought Mana stones from them because of the economic sanctions. To make matters worse, in the name of killing criminals and terrorists, the Echo Nexus Empire sent its troops to that Empire and killed over a million, innocent civilians.

As a result, right now that Empire that once proudly stood that the 5th-order strongest Empire in the Dying Isle continent was now considered the weakest Empire in the Dying Isle continent.

That Empire is now a place where criminals and terrorists from others Empires and Kingdoms would come and live. It had become a hub of all sorts of illegal activities. Every single day, many innocent civilians living in that Empire die at the hands of criminals. The Empire that once stood up as paradise now had turned into a Hell. Although the Echo Nexus Empire did not attack directly, indirectly they completely destroyed this Empire.
