The next morning, the tranquility of Blackstone was shattered by the noise. The soldiers guarding the door looked at the people of the legation who were showing off their might, and frowned dissatisfiedly.

The head of the mission, Wood, was standing outside the city gate at the moment, equally frowning. The overlook of several knights on the city wall made him very uncomfortable, and he didn't like others to be condescending.

Wood is very disdainful of the Kingdom of Green, hiding behind them as an ally of the Kingdom of Anyah, but never fulfilling the promise made when the original alliance was formed. It's time for a showdown, and Wood is full of ambition. He imagined what it would be like to force this small country to become a vassal and a place to be given and demanded. He was confident at this time, because he had a strong country, a country that was much stronger than the Kingdom of Green.

Wood's deputy, Tiri, was also looking at the knights. Although these people looked tall and mighty, they were just a look in his eyes. He glanced around to find the dragoon, but saw only three or two wyverns hovering in the sky. Back then, with the help of dragoons, the Kingdom of Grimm withstood external pressure, and now time has changed. What did the Kingdom of Grimm gain when it lost the support of the dragoons?

......

The dragoons in the city ignored the ostentatious envoys, and they chose to stand by and watch. How this country is, has little to do with them anymore. What they want, the country has long been unable to give.

Looking at the crowd showing off their strength, the dragoon took the opportunity to carefully assess the gap between the two sides. What they care about most is the top power of the Anya Kingdom, the Hell Knights. The knights who came with the mission this time were all young, and these handsome lads, their faces were full of vitality, and it was difficult to associate them with the gloomy word hell.

A group of powerful young people, but they lack precipitation.

The dragoon had already guessed the intentions of the mission. Because young people are impulsive, it is easy to cause all kinds of accidents and possibilities, especially when they have great power. This is a group of guys who were deliberately released to cause trouble. So, who is the one who is picking up the mess in the back? The dragoon began to look more closely.

The dragoons watched the excitement with ease, because the Northlanders were ready to come out, so there was no need for them to go up now. When the two sides meet and break the bloodstream, it will be the chance of the dragoon, and they will only have to wait patiently. Now that the Anya Kingdom has extended its hand here, the Northland and the Dragoon are the troubles that must be solved. They chose to back down, and the Northland was naturally revealed. With the dragoon's knowledge of the Northland, the barbarians didn't know how to flinch at all.

Now just sit back and watch the show, a real good show!

......

While the dragoons were wishful thinking, King Warren was also at ease. In the face of the aggressive Anya Kingdom, he is also ready to watch a good show. Northland and Dragoon, one in the north and the other on the east coast, want to eat everything he has. Now he has opened the door directly, and whoever wants something will take it and grab it.

As long as these three parties can't tell the winner, he, the nominal king, has the value of existence. And he didn't believe at all that the three parties would fight with all their might. The bitter Anya Kingdom will withdraw, and the Dragoon and the Northland will also have to weigh the external threat of Anyah, and then he, the orthodox royal family, will need to stand on the table.

Then, try to build a closer relationship with the Northlands, tying the royal family to the Northlands tightly. Warren felt that the light was in front of him, and he just had to get through this difficult time. He believes that this will soon pass.

......

Bran felt urgency, and an invisible voice seemed to remind him to quicken his pace. He sat there, checking himself repeatedly, and in the split second yesterday, he knew something was wrong. Hopefully this is just a temporary disorder in the process of growing up, he thought to himself. Since it's your own fault, do you need to believe everything in your intuition?

Bran sighed, everything was messed up. Under the gaze of the people around him, he got up and hugged Dani hard, and whispered to himself: "Everything will be fine, this is only temporary." ”

He turned to look at the bridge, where Il and the others were already standing before dawn. He said to Mary, "Bring them here." ”

Bran had planned to continue to exert pressure and completely mess up the remnants here, and then he could easily get more. He also thought about combing and rebuilding the city before entering. But with the arrival of both the Dragoon and the royal capital, he had to quicken his pace. Who knows what troubles will lie ahead? Now we can't push these remnants too much, at least we must ensure stability, so that they can have the energy to deal with all possible troubles.

The most important thing is the sense of crisis that arises today, although he thinks that it is only a physical cause, a mental hallucination, but what if it is not?

Standing in front of Bran again, Ilr humbly presented the information in his hand. Seeing Bran first looking at the map of Northland City, Ill stepped forward and explained, "Northland City was originally used to garrison a large number of troops, so the area of the city is quite large. The walled buildings are also wide and strong. ”

She then noticed that Bran was looking at the buildings in the center of the city, so she went on to explain, "This is the command building, the tallest building in the city. There are four floors, one underground and three above ground. It has a spacious front courtyard surrounded by a wide parapet wall on which multiple people can be paralleled, and watchtowers at the four corners. ”

Bran asked, "Who is using this place now?"

Ilr replied, "No one has used it. ”

Seeing that Bran frowned a little, Yir continued to explain: "When we borrowed this place in the first place, the elders made a rule that they were not allowed to occupy this place. As we gradually recovered, and had the ability to maintain the city, there were people who maintained it, but only for maintenance. We have always kept in mind our own identity and dare not have the mind of greed. ”

Bran couldn't help but glance up at Il, a good retreat. Put yourself in the steward's position and at least have a good cushion when the host returns. What is even more rare is that after a few generations, it can still hold on and not be blinded by greed. In this way, they really have a good heritage. Able to adhere to some rules and get used to following the hierarchy.

Bran said, "Zach, you take a few people over and have a look." If you can, go and garrison first. ”

With these words, he saw that the Ils were visibly relieved.

Bran then asked, "What about the security of this city? ”

Ilr replied: "We are all good knights, and we will step up when we need to." ”

"Stand up?"

This rhetorical question made several people in front of them blush a little, and some people argued: "In the face of the master of the Northland, no one can give birth to the courage to confront. ”

Since the primary goal at the moment is to maintain stability, there is no need to cut anyone. It's causing panic now, and it's not good for both sides. And looking at the reactions of a few people, the intimidation is almost the same, and you shouldn't dare to think too much in the short term.

As the conversation ended, several people who came out of the camp noticed something strange. The sorcerer relaxed his oppression on them, and though there was still no clear answer, the Northlanders chose to enter the city.

But they understand that security is only temporary. If they want to really settle down, be recognized by this great wizard, and thus be included in the Northlands, they must have to pay more.

After the others left, Bran absentmindedly looked at the information in his hand. These people are good, everything is well planned, and they have also expanded their sphere of influence to two mountains, where they cut wood and mine. has grown to the current scale, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do this by myself.

......

Sophie's visit interrupted Bran's work. At this time, the girl did something very unsightly, and she actually brought the wooden box containing the human head to Bran herself. As if wanting to see Bran's gaffe, the girl placed the wooden box in front of him and suddenly opened the lid.

Facing Bran, who didn't react, Sophie asked strangely, "You don't seem surprised?"

"Hmm. ”

"You already know what this place is?"

"Hmm. ”

"How did you guess?"

Bran raised his head, looked Sophie up and down, and said, "Wizards never guess, and barriers don't block our view. ”

Then Sophie reacted, tried her best to resist her urge to escape, and left in a panic after saying goodbye.

Looking at the other party's rapidly departing back, Bran sneered, hoping that this conversation would calm him down for a few days.
