Chapter 321: The Situation at the Border
For a few days, John was also idle, but he always had a vague feeling of wonder that such a life did not seem to suit him.
And many of the servants in the palace had a very different impression of the prince. It seemed that since this return, the prince had become much kinder, and he would not hold anything accountable for even the slightest mistake, which made them greatly relieved that it was better to serve a merciful master than a cruel one.
John was also very aware of some changes in his personality, and had asked the court magicians. The explanation given by the court magician was that it might be due to the fact that the influence of Dream Powder on John's mental state had not completely disappeared, and suggested that John rest for a while.
However, for John, such a life of idleness in the palace was not suitable for him, so he found his father again, the king of the Zaom Empire.
"You're saying you're leaving the palace and heading to the southern frontier of the empire?"
"Yes, Father."
John owes himself and respectfully says:
"The leisure time in the palace is not for me, I heard that the monsters in the south of the empire seem to be moving a little, so I will go and check it out."
"Okay."
Zaom IV did not refuse John's request, and said: "This kind of life is really not suitable for you, it is good to go out and relax and relax, I have already made a preliminary investigation into the affairs of the south, it is just some unruly monsters, the army on the border of the empire will naturally deal with it, but if you can go in person, I can also rest assured." ”
"Thank you, Father, for your understanding."
John respectfully said, "Then I will not continue to disturb my father." ”
"Wait, I have something for you."
Zaom IV whispered a few words to the guard next to him, and the guard hurried away, and by the time the guard returned, he had a long knife in his hand.
Zaom IV smiled and said, "I heard that your saber was broken last time, and my father will give you a new sword this time, so take a look." ”
John took the knife and pulled it lightly, revealing a fiery red blade, and a scorching breath rushed towards him.
"Good knives!"
John couldn't help but admire, just by the scorching breath, he could be sure that this knife was definitely not ordinary.
"This is just created by the Imperial Workshop, and the name is 'Red Phoenix Battle Knife'."
"Thank you, father!"
John did not refuse, for a warrior, the temptation of a good weapon could never be refused, although he was a prince, but at the same time he was a good warrior.
"Go ahead."
John retired.
This time John went to the south of the empire, different from the northern region, the south to the sparsely populated, all kinds of monsters are endless, there is a huge forest there, called the Gran Forest, although there are no human beings in the Gran Forest, but it is a paradise for the elves, but most of the elves love peace, so there has never been a conflict with the empire, but although the elves love peace, but the forest is also inhabited by a large number of goblins, Minotaur and other monsters, These monsters often attack the villages of the Empire, so the Empire is overwhelmed.
And to the south of the Gran Forest, is the powerful Bell Kingdom, and like the Empire, they are often harassed by monsters, so both the Bell Kingdom and the Zaom Empire have deployed a lot of troops on the border of the country to deal with the harassment of monsters.
However, compared to the empire, the land of the Bell Kingdom is much larger and more powerful, but the kingdom does not seem to have much intention of expanding its territory, so it has always been at peace with the empire.
The western part of the Bell Kingdom is the Ten Thousand Years Snow Mountain, which is covered by ice and snow all the year round, but in the Snow Mountain, there are also these tribes, it is said that these do not seem to have a good relationship with the Kingdom, and there are often fights, and according to the latest information, the attack of a tribe in the Ten Thousand Years Snow Mountain seems to have been defeated by the Kingdom again.
However, this time it was different from usual, and it is said that it was not any general of the kingdom who defeated the invasion, but a princess of the kingdom.
In this world, although there are fewer female cultivators, they also occupy a considerable proportion, but among the country's power class, men still occupy an absolute advantage, and the vast majority of generals who lead troops are men. Moreover, in the aristocracy, the status of women was also lower than that of men, and such a thing as commanding troops was generally absolutely impossible.
However, this princess has broken the common sense of ordinary people, and has practiced swordsmanship hard since she was a child, and is very talented, among the princes of the same rank, no one is his opponent, and as she grows older, this princess not only did not develop in the direction of the "lady" expected by the nobles, but has a lot of interest in the army, for such a thing, the nobles and the royal family naturally have a lot of objections, but the king of the kingdom seems to be quite fond of his daughter, In the operation to suppress the monster riot again, the princess went with him.
And the result surprised many people, this princess not only did not drag her feet as many people thought, but was very powerful, with her keen judgment and strong strength, those monsters were easily exterminated by her. Since this incident, things have been out of control, and this princess even has a lot of prestige in the army, and this time in the face of the attack of the Snow Mountain tribe, she even volunteered to repel the enemies who dared to invade the kingdom.
Naturally, this aroused the opposition of many people, after all, this is different from the past, and this is a real war. But the princess gave them a resounding slap in the face again, and she led an army to easily defeat the invading enemy from the snowy mountains, and since then, all opposition in the kingdom has been silenced, and many people even believe that this princess may become the first queen of the kingdom.
And recently, according to the news sent back from the border of the empire, those monsters seem to have begun to mess up again, and the troops of the empire have begun to suppress it, compared with the elite imperial team, the strength of those monsters is not strong, but because the villages on the border are scattered, the imperial team can only be broken into pieces, patrolling between various villages, but even so, it is impossible to avoid the attack of monsters.
