Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 480 - 288: The Crown Prince in Danger, Crossing the Sea to Arrive

"Twenty-one transformation projects? Your achievements can already piece together a complete organism. In that case, join forces and create for me the most perfect all-around warrior within your abilities!"

Noah reviewed each of the transformation plans in front of him. Some of the research projects had been initiated earlier than the Second Heart, while others were proposed after witnessing the success of the Second Heart. However, Noah did not care about the order; he gathered them together and had them merge into a larger project team.

Although Noah did not hesitate to invest resources, unnecessary waste had to be curtailed. These biological studies with similar goals were best combined; what was the point of individual efforts?

Whether it was the magician who successfully realized the Second Heart technology or the many mages who proposed subsequent projects, all had opinions about joint research.

But their opinions were insignificant in the face of Noah’s will, so they could only merge, and then hold internal meetings to discuss or compete, to decide the priorities, resource allocation, and progress planning of the research projects.

However, Noah was unconcerned with these details. He only set requirements, invested resources, and waited for results, providing ideas when they hit bottlenecks and were at a loss.

Thus, with the mature technology already validated through numerous experiments, sufficient resource supply, and relaxed policies, more Dragon People with needs secretly signed agreements to undergo biological transformation.

Even though the process of conducting transformation experiments on legal citizens was conservative under Noah’s supervision, it was this conservativeness that, despite having as many as fifty-one successful cases, no exceptionally absurd accidents occurred.

Of course, these fifty-one fairly decent transformation results did not meet Noah’s standards; at most, one individual received only three transformation surgeries, having transplanted three extraordinary organs.

More transformers mostly underwent a single surgery, but even so, their vitality and strength experienced a leap in growth.

The superiority of biological transformation technology was demonstrated here, with surgical recipients being legal residents of Noah’s territory, hailing from distinguished families that had resided for generations in Noah’s Dragonification Domain.

A considerable portion encountered various accidents, pushing them to a near-death state, while another portion was left with no other choice.

For instance, the initial Dragon person whose heart was pierced would have had no chance of survival without a heart transplant. After undergoing transformation, he became a powerful Transformed Dragon Warrior, meeting the standards to join the battle group.

Granting these once-unremarkable Dragon People, who could no longer play any significant role, a renewed life and far surpassing past vitality, this is the meaning of the transformation surgery.

It’s worth mentioning that Noah initially intended to incorporate these transformed soldiers who stepped into the Golden Domain due to explosive growth into the existing battle group.

However, considering their uniqueness and the increasing scale of the transformed soldiers, Noah reorganized them to form an independent battalion, centering on their special nature.

Because the technologies used on them were currently under verification and not suitable for large-scale promotion.

Therefore, Noah named them the Forbidden Army, meaning a corps using forbidden technology.

Each member of the Forbidden Army was unique. Even if they employed the same technology, the transplanted organs in their bodies differed.

These organs were sought and modified for them by the magicians in the Dragon Domain, tailored specifically for them, and their weapons and war armor were similarly specially customized.

This was a battalion with no war achievements, but everyone believed they possessed unmatched, formidable combat power because each member could effortlessly crush a standard squad at the Golden Radiance Level.

Yet, observing the Holy Dragon Land, there was no enemy worthy of them going into battle. The only place where these warriors, standing at three and a half meters after donning their war armor, could fight was perhaps the Dark Territory.

However, the Valley of Flames under Noah’s control had maintained peace and tranquility for nearly a century, with the Underground clans under successive Dragon Fairy management as docile as sheep.

"Could it be that we must emulate the conquering war Mother launched against the Dark Territory back then?"

As the saying goes, ’when one holds a weapon, the desire to kill arises.’ Previously, Noah had no troops, only a group of fairies and Cloud Giants to make up the numbers.

This bunch was merely a temporary patch. Expecting fairies to take the battlefield and fight a difficult battle, frankly, Noah had no expectations of them.

As for the Cloud Giants, although their combat strength was decent, considering their natural allegiance to the Titan Bloodline, Noah never planned to form a battle group centered on giants.

Now it’s different; under Noah’s command was finally a decent battalion,

"Unfortunately, the numbers are still too few; wait a little longer."

With decades of technological accumulation, the time had come for results, and the wealth accumulated in his territory could rapidly convert these results into combat power.
