Halfway up the mountain, Modrian stood on the bluestone road, looking up at Fort Dig not far away, revealing an imperceptible longing.

After more than a month of traveling to the Lemmwall Mountains, exhaustion and fatigue tortured the body and spirit, and only now, when I saw the black Fort Digwo, I was slightly relieved.

He wasn't the only one, but so did Darius behind him, everyone with a relieved look.

Modrian quickened his pace, crossed the bluestone road, and saw Crane directing the Noxus soldiers to carry the goods at the gates of Fort Digvo.

"Lord Modrian, welcome back." As if sensing the movement, when Crane turned his head, he saw Modrian's group and hurriedly walked over and said respectfully.

"Is Cooper here?" Modrian patted Crane on the shoulder, seeing that most of the goods carried by the Noxian soldiers were food and drink.

"Yes, Cooper is in Fort Dig, and he's been running to Fort Dig lately to ask Gregory some questions." Crane said with a smile.

Woohoo!

Two wurmers burst out of the city gate and surrounded Modrian, licking their tongues, looking very cute, and some did not match the fierce appearance.

The loyalty bestowed by the system makes them inexplicably fond of Modrian.

Touching the white fluff on the top of the wurm dog's head, Modrian couldn't help but smile: "Let's go, go in and have a look, this exploration trip is really tiring enough." ”

Crane nodded slightly at Darius and the others, and then followed behind Modrian, introducing some changes to Fort Dig.

The expansion has been completed, and a barracks has been established on the right side of Fort Digvo, which is to be used as a training and residence for Noxian soldiers.

On the left side of Fort Digwo, the homesteaders are already full of crops, waiting for harvest.

Exploration of the outer areas of the Levor Mountains is also proceeding in an orderly manner, with the Noxian Imperial cavalry as the main force, supplemented by the Noxian elite cavalry. (Mountain terrain, mainly in the style of infantry combat)

Walking on the bluestone avenue, Modrian listened to Crane's report, and nodded his head from time to time, after all, it was Crane who maintained Fort Dig during the time he was away.

"Master Modrian!"

"Lord Modrian!"

On the wide avenue in front of the main fort, Modrian was confronted by Gregory and Cooper, who seemed to have just come out of the training ground, covered in sweat.

Modrian raised an eyebrow, and he stared intently at Cooper, whose slightly fluctuating life energy spoke of the unexpected.

"Congratulations, Cooper, on making your way to the Knights."

"Thanks to Lord Gregory's guidance during this time, otherwise I don't know when or when I would have stepped into the knighthood." Cooper bowed, his face full of joy and a little sigh.

Thinking back to the situation when he left Perris Castle, he was full of resentment and reluctance, and even thought that the knightly path was cut off.

But I don't want to, in less than half a year, the situation has changed so much, and the once mediocre Young Master Modrian seems to have changed as a person, and he is sharp in the north of the Stoke Kingdom.

Especially some time ago, when he was in the town of Irwindale, he heard that Young Master Modrian had destroyed the Iron Thorn Cavalry, that unbelievable look, how ridiculous it is when he thinks about it now.

"Well, if you have any doubts in the future, you can come to Fort Dig and ask Gregory about them." Modrian looked at Cooper with relief and said, this is his first vassal knight, and now it is very good to be able to break through to become a knight.

Looking at Gregory again, after breaking through to the Grand Knight before he left, the aura is even stronger now, and it seems that the centurion of the Noxian Empire has never stopped advancing.

"It's time to get there, let's have a short meeting first."

Despite his fatigue, Modrian proposed a small meeting in the chamber to deal with the things that had been piling up in recent times.

It was still the familiar hall, with Modrian sitting in the main seat and the others sitting separately.

"Cooper, let's talk about the town of Irwindale first."

"Yes, Master Modrian." Cooper took a deep breath to ease the tension, it was the first time he had attended a meeting in Fort Digwo, which also meant that he had officially entered the inner circle of Master Modrian.

Looking around at the other people sitting around him, he had a hunch that he might be the weakest of them all, including Young Master Modrian.

"After the relinquishment of power by the garrison officer Manan Jerome, and with the Noxian Imperial Cavalry Hundred-Man Troop under the command of Lord Gregory, the town of Irwindale has basically been in our hands."

"Including trade, law and order and the defense of the city gate, we have successively sent people to hand over the handover, and there have been no accidents."

"As for the Oak Tavern, according to your orders, young master, we didn't rush into action, but after you entered that day, the Oak Tavern gradually gave up some of the surrounding industries, leaving only the basic tavern industry."

After hearing this, Modrian's brows furrowed, he didn't expect that Manan, the garrison of the library, would even start to hand over the responsibility of defending the town of Irwindale to Cooper.

Looks like Uncle Benny's side is ready to make a choice?

"Oak Tavern!"

In a familiar place, Modrian knocked on the table, his white face showed a thoughtful expression, and then commanded.

"Keep an eye on it, after all, someone else has 'helped' us."

Seeing Cooper's nod, Modrian turned to Gregory and asked, "How's the exploration of the outer areas of the Lemmor Mountains?" ”

"The situation is good, and with the assistance of the War Masons, a part of the detailed map has been drawn up." Gregory said calmly.

"In a little while, we should be able to explore the Lenwall Mountains near Fort Delvaux."

"Not bad." Modrian said appreciatively. "Voosman, the Trevari Legionnaires, and the Noxian Scarlet Cavalry are repaired, and they work with Gregory to explore the surrounding area."

"Yes, Lord Modrian." Gregory and Vosman stood up at the same time and said in a respectful voice.

Rubbing his tired face, Modrian looked at Crane one last time, signaling if there was anything else.

"During your absence, quite a few nobles have sent out invitations asking you to take the time to visit them." Crane stood up and pulled out the colorful invitations from the desk cabinet next to him.

"Reject them, I can't think of going to another hypocritical aristocratic banquet."

Modrian waved his hand and refused, the previous banquet at Harriman Castle had left a very bad impression on him, and he became the so-called protagonist like a clown.

"Okay." Crane nodded slightly.

"Wait!" As if remembering something, Modrian called out to Crane and asked, "Is there an invitation from Baron Benny and the Harriman family?" ”

"Yes." Crane pulled out two from the bottom of a pile of invitations, one in pure green with twigs and one in pale gold with gold leaves.

"Keep these two and throw the rest away." Modrian said indifferently.
