The roar gradually subsided, and the huge mountain finally stopped moving, like a tired man, and stopped.

Where it gave way, wide avenues stretched through the entire Norma Mountains, from the hilly terrain of the north to the plains of the south.

From this moment on, there is no longer such a natural danger as "Norma" in the world, and it is already a smooth road between the north and south of the western part of the western continent.

Some weary López sages stepped down from the altar and, surrounded by legendary powerhouses, walked towards the Thracian military camp. He was greeted by a landslide and a tsunami of cheers, and the Thracian army rejoiced in this mythical feat, and the powerful men from all over the Western Continent gathered to extend their most sincere congratulations to him.

After this great deed, no matter what the future holds, as long as the Norma Mountains are still around, Ernst López, the "sage who outlined the earth", will be celebrated. In the history books of various countries and races, there will be a strong mark on today's events, even if time passes, the long years have turned the long-lived dragons into dust, and this legend will always be remembered by people and become the memories of future generations.

It can even be said that compared to the great cause of the great sage of López, even if Thrace destroys Molai, it is not a big deal.

The rise and fall of a country is a very common thing, and in comparison, it is much rarer to move mountains and seas!

The grand celebration took place for three whole days, during which not only the powerful were congratulated from all sides, but the Thracian king Richard also sent emissaries to pay high tribute to the great sage.

Another thing happened during the ceremony - a large number of nobles from Moraco openly surrendered to Thrace, expressing their admiration for the sage of López, and only wishing that their children and grandchildren would have the opportunity to listen to the sage's teachings, even if they did not hesitate to change their courts.

This is definitely true, but in fact, one need only look at the map to see what these nobles really are - their territories are mostly near the Norma region, and there is no danger to defend.

In other words, they were incapable of resisting the Thracian attack.

Among these nobles was the Count of Pollock, who was a very determined man, and came to the Thracian barracks in person to surrender to him, and his attitude was much more sincere than that of the nobles who sent envoys or their children.

For the surrender of these nobles, Duke Elanz accepted all the orders and did not refuse any of them. She stated that according to the agreement between the king and herself, in addition to the Norma region, she could also have a new territory equivalent to thirty counties. If everyone doesn't dislike the small family of the Elantz family, she is willing to help everyone and build the territory more prosperous together.

Such a statement was naturally welcomed and supported by the original Morai nobles, who were most afraid that Duke Elantz would use the sage of López to move mountains and open the way to eliminate the power of Norma's natural danger, reduce their territory, and even directly deprive it of it. Now that the Duke of Elanz is willing to respect their interests and make such an approachable gesture, they are really overjoyed!

But the only people who could get such preferential treatment were those who surrendered to the nobles south of Norma. Although the nobles of the Norma region also surrendered, they were all punished for the previous two battles against the Thracian army, the lightest of which was to reduce some of their territories, and the more serious ones were to be sent hostages, and the more serious ones had to retire immediately...... The most severely punished were the Norma family and several of their sworn friends, and the Duke of Elantz directly deprived them of their territory!

Of course, she also heard about what happened at the Norma Army Council, and after hearing this, she sighed and said: "I can't imagine that Duke Norma, who has been running the Norma region for many years and has repelled our Thracian army, is such a short-sighted person, not as good as a lizardman with vision! It's a pity that General Nayunero is loyal and brave, and in the end he ended up like this!"

Liu Daoqing smiled and said, "Duke Norma is probably afraid that after surrendering, you can split his family's territory and let him retire directly." The tiger that has shed its hair is not as good as a dog, and the reason why he can have his current status is not his talent, but his identity. Once he loses his identity, what else can he do?"

"I'm definitely going to order him to retire. Duke Elantz nodded and said, "But retire and retire, he is not without children, so what's wrong with letting the child take over as soon as possible?" I was only fifteen years old when I became a duke, and his sons were already fathers, so it was time to take over. ”

Everyone laughed - Duke Elantz was able to succeed to the throne as a teenager and still accomplished, that is, she was good enough. In contrast, Duke Norma's son really has no sense of existence, and everyone doesn't know what he is capable of, so it's no wonder that Duke Norma has little confidence in this son.

"There's a saying, 'A husband can't be without power for a day.'" Liu Daoqing said, "Human beings are such strange creatures, obviously power and wealth are things that life does not bring and death does not bring, but they are more important than anything else!"

"How many humans have you been exposed to, you strange fish?" laughed Count Spinora, "and it's normal that you don't understand. In fact, Duke Norma's idea is not unreasonable...... He is only a little bit old this year, far from old, and he is retiring at this time, and it is a real full-scale shift, and he may be grounded afterwards...... This kind of life is indeed unbearable for him. ”

"But he deserves it. One of the close friends of the Elantz family, Pierde Condi, the administrator of the Thracian army, said, "The choice is made, and the price is payable." If he had surrendered when the Marquis of Henry had attacked Norma for the first time, not only would he not have been punished, but he would have been greatly rewarded—after all, we in Thrace would have set an example for the nobles of Morian to be willing to surrender to us. But he resisted to the end at that time, and now in the face of us, he chooses to resist again...... If we don't punish the diehards led by him, how can we convince the Molai nobles to surrender rather than resist?"

"Confess leniently, resist strictly?" Liu Daoqing asked, "Shouldn't it be 'early surrender is better than late surrender, late surrender is better than not surrender'?"

Everyone in the Erlanz family laughed, and even the sage Ernst López couldn't help but laugh and shake his head: "Where did you hear this? The former sentence is very reasonable, but the latter sentence is simply messy - for us, of course, we want to support and commend those who surrender, and fight those who resist, what is the better reason not to surrender?"

Liu Daoqing also smiled, smiling simply and loyally, looking like he had never been in the world and didn't understand anything.

At the same time, he put the conversation in a group chat channel, which caused discussion among the traversers.

Among the traversers, Wang Tuhao's evaluation of Duke Elanz is quite representative.

"This son is really terrifying, and he will become a great weapon in the future!"

Liu Daoqing saw this, and touched his beard with disdain: "What will become a big weapon in the future, people are already 'big tools' now, okay!"

As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Katrin Elantz's chest and chuckled a few times.
