Chapter 247: Lyon's Mysterious Past
Though Arthur Lyon, founding emperor of Lyon, had lived for over a hundred years, his time on the throne was not especially long.
By the time the Lyon Empire was officially established, he was already in his forties, and several years had passed since he slew the demonic dragon.
According to historical records, those intervening years were spent dealing with the remnants of the dragon race and the Cult of Dragonkind.
After suppressing two large-scale dragon counteroffensives, the dragons finally relented. The entire race withdrew from the continent, departing for distant overseas lands.
The Cult of Dragonkind also collapsed completely. Most of its texts were lost, and its followers rapidly dwindled.
By the time the Lyon Empire was founded, there were no more dragons on the continent, nor any trace of the cult.
Later, nations such as the dwarves' Golden Kingdom, the orcs' Highlands, and the druids' Emerald Dreamwood were established one after another with Lyon's support.
During his reign, Arthur Lyon treated all races well and was more than willing to assist them in building their own nations.
In that era, relations among the intelligent races were remarkably harmonious.
