Dragon Monarch System

Aditya was sitting in front of a table. While Spence stood in front of Aditya as he reported everything that took place in Aditya\'s absence. As for Watson, the former acting prime minister was brewing tea for his King and the Prime Minister.

"Since the statement, all of our allies have cut their cuties with the Dragon slayer guild and have banned the Dragon slayer guild from entering their territory. If any member of the Dragon slayer guild is found within any of our ally\'s territory, that member will be captured and sent to the Istarin Empire." Basically, the Dragon slayer guild has been declared a terrorist organization. All the members of the Dragon slayer guild were declared criminals.

"Excellent!" This was one of the benefits of having allies. If any Empire or Kingdom offended Aditya or his Empire, he can put sanctions on that Empire that would severely affect that Empire\'s economy. And with the goddess of wealth by his side, Aditya can even cripple the economy of an Empire. He currently had the power to bring any Empire or Kingdom in this continent to its knees.

"Your majesty, if I may ask, what actions are you planning on taking against the Dragon slayer guild?" This is the reason Spencer did not send the Istarin army to completely destroy the Dragon slayer guild. Spencer felt Aditya should decide the fate of the Dragon slayer guild.

Aditya tapped the table with his index finger as his eyes glowed in Crimson color. "I will personally deal with the Dragon slayer guild." Aditya also wanted to find out who gave the Dragon slayer guild so much courage that they dared to openly came to the Istarin Empire\'s capital and challenge the mocked Emperor without fearing anyone. There has to be someone who is pulling the strings from the darkness.

"Spencer, I need you to increase the number of soldiers that we are currently recruiting. If necessary I want you to build another training ground. Also, order all of our nobles to increase the number of recruits as much as possible." Hearing Aditya\'s order, Spencer and Watson both were surprised.

One had to know that given the current strength of the Istarin Empire, they can defeat any Empire on this continent. The current Istarin Empire had the largest troop among all the other Empires on the Dying Isle continent. Yet Aditya still wanted more soldiers to be recruited into the Istarin army. There has to be some reason for this.

"Your Majesty, may I ask why?" Spencer asked in a confused tone.

Aditya looked outside from the window. He was looking at Azure city. There was a time when this city was full of corruption and suffering. Now, this city proudly stood as one of the most populated cities on the continent. The whole city was thriving and prospering. The people living in this city never have to sleep with a hungry stomach. Aditya was proud of what he has managed to build.

This might sound fake coming from the heart of a power-hungry politician. But whenever Aditya saw the smiles of the common people, he felt a sense of peace. There was a sense of satisfaction in his heart that he never felt in his previous life before.

At first, Aditya wanted to change the entire Istarin Empire so that no other Empire can step on Aditya and crush him. But now he wanted to protect what he had managed to build with his hard work. Without even realizing it, Aditya had gone from being a power-hungry politician to a King who wanted the best for his people.

After an entire minute of silence, Aditya looked at Spencer. "When I was stuck in the Icy Shattered Ruin world, I learned many new things about this world. We are not at the top of this world. Just because the Istarin Empire is the biggest Empire with the biggest army on this continent doesn\'t make us invincible. A long time ago, I heard a quote that I never was able to forget."

『Our power invites Challenge.』

『Challenge incites conflicts.』

『And conflicts breeds Catastrophe.』

"Our success is envied by others."

"Our accomplishment is the cupidity of others."

"Our wealth makes the glutton salivate."

"Our strength makes us a target."

"And finally Our very power will invite conflicts."

"It won\'t be long before the people from the Main continent sets their eyes on our Empire. At that time, we will be given two choices. Submit and join them or get destroyed by them. Many great empires have been destroyed by the forces of the Main continent. Our Empire doesn\'t have the strength to take on the forces of the Main continent. So before we get approached by them, we better prepare ourselves."

Aditya has learned the unfortunate fate of the Great Starry Sky Empire. From what he was able to learn, the Great Starry Sky Empire was even more powerful than the current Istarin Empire. But the Empire was still destroyed by the forces of the Main continent.

"From now on, the Istarin Empire will focus not only on developing its territories but also on increasing its military strength." Spencer and Watson exchanged a look before nodding their heads at the same time.

\'And I also must reach 4th order.\' Aditya can reach Peak 5th-order with all the Experience points that the system has saved up for him. But doing that would make people suspicious and invite unnecessary trouble. But if he does it slowly then no one would suspect him.

\'Maybe I should tell Julia, Alicia, and Riya about the system. They will become my wives and spend their lives with me. The longer I keep this a secret, the more heavier it will become with time.\' As for loyalty, Aditya was 110% sure that if his life was in danger and the girls were told to sacrifice their lives to protect him, neither of them would hesitate to do that. Aditya also feels the same for his wives.

"Tell me, what else happened in my absence?" Aditya asked while Watson gave him a cup of green tea.

"We suppressed the news of your disappearance. Other than the incident with the dragon slayer guild, nothing major happened. We did catch a few spies sent by the other Empires. Just like you had asked, I had Nathan end their lives. Many of the construction projects have been completed."

"Good. By the way that remains me, how was your meeting with the fox tribe?" Before Aditya was stuck inside the Icy Shattered Ruin World, he had sent Spencer to meet the Patriarch of one of the many fox tribes that lived in the beast continent.

"The meeting was excellent. The Fox Queen of the tribe and I were able to negotiate and sign a contract. In exchange for fresh vegetables, wheat, and salt, the fox tribe would provide us with fresh milk and 1500 wine Goats per month." The beast race living in the Beast continent mostly relied on raising domestic animals. Most beast races prefer fresh vegetables but growing crops or vegetables in the beast continent is nearly impossible. So all the tribes living in the beast continent rely on trading.

The Wine Goat was one of the Domestic animals that many tribes in the Beast continent raised. The Wine Goat is a special type of goat that can grow up to 3 meters long. The Wine Goats mature they become Peak 1st mount. Not only that, the meat and milk of wine goat tasted like wine and were said to be very delicious. The tribes living in the beast continent used the milk of the wine goat as wines.

Aditya was planning on establishing direct trade with many of the tribes in the beast continent in the future. The fox tribe was just the beginning. The current Istarin Empire had millions of people. The meat was one of the things that were highly expensive due to its rarity. Trade relationships with the tribes in the beast and the continent are aimed at fulfilling the demand for meat in the Empire. Also, the wine goat can be used as a magic mount that would make the Istarin Empire even stronger.

"Perfect. Spencer, you should send our messengers to other tribes." Doing trade directly with the tribes makes the wine goat cheaper and also the whole transaction more profitable. The Istarin Empire can gain the faith of the beast tribes.

Also in the Beast continent, merchants are not that liked as most traders often lower the price of wine goats and wine goat milk from the market price. So the tribes are more than happy to directly trade with a big empire rather than trade with a merchant.

While Aditya was having a meeting with his Prime Minister, someone had come to see the Dragon Monarch with a piece of urgent news.
