Chapter 160: The Road

Bran, who lived in a simple place, walked slowly along the main road in the city. As he went, the road became solid, and a series of rising plantations split the road in half from the midline......

Bran began to shape the path from memory, which made him mentally dazed for a while.

Ilr quietly followed behind Bran, listening to Bran's almost whispering instructions: pass on the right, there is a pedestrian passage above, and trees and flowers should be planted in the middle flower pond......

Although Bran still did not plan to get involved in the construction of specific houses, he decided to take matters into his own hands on the infrastructure such as roads and canals.

With good roads, it will be much easier to transport materials under construction, which I believe will help the construction of the city.

As Bran moved seemingly slowly, the city's roads took shape, gradually extending beyond the city and beginning to expand in all directions.

Bran's actions caught everyone's attention. In the past, he had always been very casual about the construction of the city, and he seemed indifferent to the chaos caused by it, so what made him unable to sit still?

Pachu, Yir and the others felt the pressure, and then the ordinary people below also felt the pressure. In the days when the ice and snow are melting and the cold is not dissipating, people begin to get up early and get busy at night.

Bran worked methodically according to his own ideas, and the changes around him went unnoticed. As the road stretched, he felt like he was back in the lodge, only the materials he was facing had changed. No longer a piece of metal, a wall, his vision and his heart are gradually opening up, and the road under his feet seems to extend to the end of the earth.

He let out a sigh of relief, and only then did it suddenly dawn on him - his own pattern was too small after all!

Accustomed to a knife and a sword, my eyes were also attracted by these, and I gradually forgot the vastness of the earth and the profundity of the sky.

How long has it been since you looked up at the sky?

......

Compared to Bran's comfort, Lily is on the road at this time.

The swarm moved quietly and orderly under her command, and the muddy and slippery road did not affect them in the slightest.

Lily and the bear cub were at the back of the swarm, and several Bug Kings followed her obediently. A leprechaun was on her shoulder, grabbing a strand of hair dangling from her ear.

The goblin was very unhappy with Lily's act of leaving her behind and completing the trial on her own. Although it was to protect her, what was the small danger in the face of the opportunity to make a name for herself? So, when Lily returned, she completely lived on Lily.

The young goblin does not yet have a name according to custom. But when Lily became famous, the old goblins immediately named her Lijia.

According to the agreement, goblins are not allowed to be taken with them during the mission. It's not that the goblins are greedy for life and afraid of death, but the number of goblins is still relatively rare, and the people of the Northland themselves are reluctant. It's just that this time for the choice of the little fairy Lijia, everyone ignored this agreement.

The bear was drooling as he walked, and it was quite painful to be able to see but not eat the tender and delicious swarm. When Lily's plan was executed, the adult bug was crossed out of its recipe. It is only when there are too many larvae hatching at the same time in the hatchery that it is sent to feast. But as the plan progressed, everything began to become more rigorous and orderly, and this small snack gradually became uneaten.

Just as Bran became the lion king, the swarm also identified a new king, Lily. It's just that after the insect tide, Bran's lion pack has disappeared, while her insect colony is growing.

She didn't tell Bran about the lions, perhaps because she was afraid that he would be upset, or perhaps because she was also suspicious.

The Northlanders have taken complete control of the swamp and have established two rudimentary garrisons within it. The people stationed here are already Lily's subordinates. After Lily leaves with the first swarms, they will be tasked with continuing to monitor the place. Although the environment of the swamp is harsh, these difficulties are temporary.

If all goes well, they will follow in Lily's footsteps across the West, where they will establish a new home. And this is just the starting point for them.

......

Il has been very cautious lately, not because he was afraid, but because he was worried. Bran's unusual behavior worries everyone.

The people in the city are busy, and they show their concern in this way. Bran didn't ask them what they had to do or how much they had to accomplish. They only do it of their own free will and want to share some of it.

Most of the remnants of the city were trained as knights, and they knew the rights, duties, and allegiance they meant. In their minds, Bran was a good lord. He expanded his territory to the foot of the two points and gave them the land.

Although there were no allegiance ceremonies, no oaths, many believed that they belonged to Bran's vassals from the time they accepted the land given by Bran.

They are not refugees who fled from the sandstone city, and they do not know how to be grateful or reciprocate.
