Chapter 979: A Break I.
The carriage of the Marquis de Vauban was escorted by a group of soldiers of the Knights of the Northland, and it drove out of Vauban and headed for Zelgan.
However, it was not the Marquis de Vauban himself who sat in the carriage, but Dean.
Leaning back in the soft seat of the carriage, Dean held his teacup and sipped the fragrant tea into his lungs.
Obviously, this is a very high-end tea that can only be achieved, and it is difficult for even nobles to enjoy, but for the Marquis of Vauban it is easy to obtain.
Controlled the trade routes of the north, plus the completion of the fortress of Seandre.
More merchants poured into the north.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the Marquis of Vauban is making money every day.
The value of his wealth is hard for Dean to estimate.
At least at the level of the richest countries.
Taking another sip of tea, feeling the aroma of tea from the tip of his tongue to his body again, Dean put down his teacup and looked out of the carriage.
Dean was alone in the carriage.
Although before Dean invited Richard. Vauban was rejected by the latter on the grounds that it had to deal with the attackers.
Thinking of Richard. Vauban looked at him, and Dean's face couldn't help but be strange.
After a moment, it turned into a sigh.
There are always good and bad changes, and since the good part is accepted, then the bad is ...... Naturally, there is only acceptance.
Dean isn't the only one who can see one side.
It's just that this feeling is not pleasant.
After all, once Richard. Vauban was his comrade-in-arms.
Dean was silent, his gaze looking higher.
In the distance, the sky.
The three black dots quickly rose up. Then disappear into the clouds.
The falcon that sent the letter!
Dean's eyesight. The wings of the falcons can be clearly seen. and the wax pill secret letter at the claws of the legs.
Dean didn't stop that.
Even, Dean could guess that there was news about his return, which had already passed through the magic teleportation array to the Emerald Capital.
These falcons are just to inform the remaining three county kings in the four northern counties.
As for the South?
It will be conveyed by the Emerald Capital.
Dean, who had returned to Godez and landed not far from the city of Vauban had known this for a long time.
And. I also chose to accept.
After all, he is going home, not a thief, and there is nothing that cannot be left unavoided.
……
The Emerald Capital, the Royal Palace.
The young king gripped his scepter and stood in front of a large map.
Map of Sitty!
On the map, it is divided into three colors: red, blue, and white.
Blue occupies more than half of the area, followed by white, red is the smallest, and is divided into dozens of small areas.
And the blue represents the army of emeralds. White is the blank space, and red is the remnant of Siti.
It is composed of the remnants of the defeated army and the Siti nobles who fled in a hurry.
And at the moment. The young king was looking at the red areas.
Then the flags representing the Emerald Legion began to be planted by him in these red areas.
Throughout, the young king had never thought of sparing the remnants of Sitti.
What he wants to do is to completely remove Setty from the map of Godez!
The fertile grasslands and clear waters of the lake will become one or two counties of the Emerald Kingdom - it depends on how many people will be rewarded in the end.
Of course, the biggest one must be from the Emerald Royal Family.
The royal family needs to have more of a voice.
Wealth and soldiers are essential.
Several very unpleasant experiences made it clear to the young king what he was going to do.
"Let little York bite those remnants of Sitti, and then the Guards and the Royal Knights will thrust in from the flanks and deliver a fatal blow to those remnants! You can let some of the guys go, but, remember - I'm going to tear them to pieces even more, and there's no chance of reuniting! Do you understand? ”
The young king turned to look at his attendant and commanded faintly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The attendant replied respectfully.
Then, he walked away quickly.
A king who is good at war will always be loved by his own people.
In the same way, victory can give you confidence.
And after the attendants had departed, the young king went to the throne, sat down, rested his scepter across his knees, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Such stillness allows one to see the changes in the young king more clearly.
The young king had already faded from the greenness and immaturity on his face by this time, and a maturity and majesty that did not match his age appeared in him.
Let the palace attendants be more and more respectful.
Even the two silver powerhouses of the royal family have maintained their own humility.
The whole palace was silent.
Everyone didn't dare to come out.
Except for the reverence they deserved, all knew of the young king's efforts.
Sleeping only three hours a day is not an easy task for anyone.
Not to mention, when sober, they are all engrossed.
So, everyone can understand the young king's rest.
Because of this, when a loud footstep came, the two silvers of the royal family suddenly frowned, and Ai Li, who had a slightly impatient temper, subconsciously walked towards the door.
Not only did he intend to stop this reckless fellow, but if the other party didn't give him a reasonable explanation, he would teach the other party a good lesson.
However, the sound behind him made Ai Li stop.
"Eli! Let people in! ”
The young king opened his eyes.
In an instant, it was majestic and prosperous, like a lion awakened from sleep.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The royal silver bowed, and then, out of the way, a wizard in robes walked in.
"What happened?"
The young king asked directly.
Unlike Gao Sai, although there are some wizards in the Emerald court, these wizards cannot be in high positions. Even if it's a consultant position. It takes several tests before it can be given.
And obviously. Until now, none of the court wizards of Emerald have passed these tests.
"Lord North, Lord Guardian of the Northlands is back!"
The wizard said breathlessly.
"What?!"
The young king jerked to his feet.
The panting wizard was immediately startled, quickly leaned down, and once again made a complete statement: "Lord Marquis Vauban has sent news that Lord Guardian of the Northlands has just returned to Vauban County!" ”
"Coming back?"
The young king muttered in a low voice, and then, looking up, asked again, "Is it just a person?" ”
"Just one person!"
The wizard replied.
"Set up the Magic Transmission Array again. I need to ask the Marquis de Vauban directly! ”
As he spoke, the young king walked out.
The two silvers of the royal family tried to remind the young king about the war against Beati, but in the end they only opened their mouths and said nothing.
Because, at the moment, the young king showed no heedness.
Everyone thought it was because of Dean's return.
But only the young king himself knew what he was for.
Sister-sama!
The young king cried out in his heart.
……
The Emerald Capital, the residence of the Emerald Grand Duke.
Beatrice. Deta, the chief swordsman of the Jade Grand Duke, was quietly flipping through the books, his long silver hair running down his shoulders, as quiet and dazzling as a waterfall in the moonlight.
And the soft face is set off by the book, and it becomes more and more tranquil.
Not far away, the young lady of Baron Tyre's family was practicing her swordsmanship diligently.
Her practice opponent was the Grand Duke's chief of guard.
Erin wielding two greatswords. Feng easily resisted the young lady of the baron's family.
Even if the other side has made great progress. But if you want to fight against a powerhouse like the Grand Duke's Guard, who is really at the pinnacle of silver, it is still a lot worse.
Whether it's strength. Or experience.
If it weren't for the practice, the young lady of the baron's family would have been defeated a long time ago.
However, in the next moment, the long sword in the hand of the young lady of the baron's family was still knocked away.
"Take a break!"
Just as the young lady of the Baron's family picked up the long sword and was about to continue, the chief swordsman of the Grand Duke not far away spoke.
For the teacher's orders, the young lady of the baron's family naturally did not dare to disobey.
And the chief of the Grand Duke's guard won't say much.
This kind of battle is really boring for her, and she wants to compete with her friends even more.
You know, there aren't many opportunities to compete with the golden powerhouse from time to time!
"My strength is not stable yet, and when I reach the gold level in the real sense, we will compete!"
When the Grand Duke Swordsman saw his friend's gaze, he knew what was going on, and immediately said.
"It's been almost half a year, and you haven't really reached the gold level yet?"
The Grand Duke's Chief of Guard was a little unconvinced.
"I'm just a 'newcomer' right now, and I'm not in stable form yet!"
Grand Duke Swordsman said honestly.
"How the hell did that kid do that? It feels like everything is done overnight! ”
The Grand Duke's chief of guard muttered.
The young lady of the baron's family on the side was slightly distracted.
"Sometimes, genius cannot be measured by the eyes of the world!"
The Grand Duke Swordsman shook his head and smiled shallowly.
There is not the slightest jealousy, suspicion.
For Dean, the Grand Duke Swordsman only has a faint, different feeling, as if holding a book that he loves and is intriguing, but does not belong to him.
She would read it from time to time and memorize it.
Because......
She knew that the book would eventually be returned to its true owner.
Stomp, stomp!
A sudden sound of unfamiliar footsteps sounded.
Immediately, the eyes of the three ladies looked at the door.
They knew that since the Emerald army had gained the upper hand, Dean had been praised as a hero, and the king had been praised as a wise warrior, they had become a crowd of southern powers.
Among them was the gesture of the young king.
There is also the reason for the disappearance of the Grand Duke of Jade.
As a result, no one has been here for a long time.
"Lord Deta, Lord Feng, Miss Tyr, Lord Northland Guardian is back!"
The palace guards walked in, bowed, and said truthfully.
Suddenly, the three ladies were stunned.
The baron's young lady smiled as she spoke.
The Grand Duke's chief guard scratched his cheek and turned around.
The Grand Duke Swordsman gently closed the book in his hand, and the light smile on his face became brighter.
