Chapter 167: New Neighbors
The bright moon like a silver plate hung high in the void, and the shining moonlight sprinkled on the ground like water and mist. Roland stared at the bright moon in the sky and was speechless for a long time.
"Roland, what's wrong with you?"
Catherine, dressed in full costume and wearing a tiara, walked towards Roland, accompanied by several attendants, and when she approached, the attendants bowed down and retreated.
"I'm angry!"
Catherine was stunned and said, "Is it because I invited Sylvia?" Roland, Gambis needs Sylvia's support, and the York family has never betrayed Gambis, it is very unreasonable to blame Sylvia for Ryan's death, and Ryan didn't dare to let Sylvia interfere at that time......
"I know!" Roland said faintly as he stretched out his white and immaculate hand to grasp a piece of moonlight, "Sylvia has always been the female knight I admire the most, and she is also the target of my pursuit. After my father's death, I became angry with my idol simply because I couldn't find a real enemy! Neovest was the Emperor of the Rand, and he was qualified to kill any rebel, including our three royal families. Sylvia was pressed by us step by step, and it was understandable that she chose to stand idly by. But what about the man who calculated us? Not only did he plot against my father, but now he is hitting me with his idea! Is it really easy for us to bully August's family?!"
Catherine persuaded: "I also want to avenge Ryan, but we have been investigating for so long, and the night stalker has almost turned out all the shadows of the Sassang Empire, and he has not caught that man's tail." Perhaps, it is not one person who calculates us at all, but a group of people. Most of them are in the territory of the Sassan Empire, and if they want to retaliate against them, the only way is to completely defeat the Sassan Empire. But this is by no means something that can be done in a short period of time, unless ......"
"Unless I become the queen of the Sassang Empire!" Roland sneered, "Hehe, that's not falling into their calculations. β
Catherine was choked, in fact, Roland's marriage to the crown prince of Sarsan was the most beneficial for her and little Edward, as long as Roland's words, the lords of Gambis would support Edward's ascension to the throne, and Williams could only retreat. But Catherine also knew that if she used her marriage as a bargaining chip, it would not be Roland.
"Roland, you ascend the throne as king! unite with Duoduo and Neville, retake the savannah, and teach the Sassan Empire a lesson!"
Roland shook his head gently: "Catherine, don't you understand, the throne has never been my pursuit, I yearn for an unrestrained life, go to various places to adventure, hoe the strong and help the weak." It's like, like my ancestors, wandering around, taking in the scenery, eating all the food, making friends, and finding a beloved partner......"
The more Roland spoke, the more excited he became, his beautiful face shining in the moonlight, and he looked glamorous. Catherine was speechless, the ancestor of the Auguste family was an adventurous wandering knight, and the excellent descendants of the Augustian family inherited the characteristics of the ancestors, such as Lane, who often sneaked around after ascending the throne and met Roland's mother. The same goes for Roland, in fact, the freedom to go out and adventure is what drives Roland's success as a knight. Obviously, those plotters saw through this and devised a whole set of conspiracies. Thinking of this, Catherine couldn't help but shudder.
"You understand now, every Golden Knight has his own pursuits, Sylvia wants to protect the family, Mr. Goron wants to be a model of loyalty, and I want freedom and adventure, these pursuits are our path and pleasure, but in the eyes of those scoundrels they become weaknesses that can be exploited. Hmph, no matter how I choose, fall into their trap. I just didn't let them get their wish. Roland said with a snort.
"What are you going to do?" Catherine let out a long sigh.
"I'm going missing!"
"What?!...... Trace?"
"Yes, I'm going to disguise myself as a free man, well, preferably a mercenary, and then secretly investigate Daddy's murderers, kill them all, and avenge Daddy. By that time, I was already a legendary knight, and I would go to a duel with Nyovist, kill him, and then drift away to complete a legendary story. I've already thought of a name, it's called Princess's Revenge!Haha, those villains would never have thought I'd do this!" Roland's eyes lit up, and he walked up and down the hill, as if he had fallen into the joy of success.
This seemingly naΓ―ve plan is actually full of whimsical wisdom and unwavering will, once Roland disappears, the plans of the Sassan Empire will be completely frustrated, the Iron Triangle is still solid, Sylvia and Goron are enough to curb Dodor's ambitions, and Roland can continue on the path of knighthood until he enters the realm of legends. However, Catherine was not happy, because as soon as Roland was gone, Williams's ascension to the throne was almost ironclad. Catherine can not care about the throne, but she has to worry that Williams will be bad for little Edward, even if Williams will not do this, his heir is very likely to do so!
Roland also saw Catherine's worries, and she comforted: "Don't worry, I won't leave for two or three years." Before leaving, I will convince Mr. Goron and Sylvia to support little Edward's ascension to the throne. However, Uncle Williams will be the regent, and you will handle the affairs of the Gambis together until Edward takes over. To be honest, I don't want to see family members kill each other at all. β
"Roland, I'd rather love Dehua than be a king than risk you. Catherine was genuinely affectionate, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Then I might as well die!"
Catherine: "......"

Victor looked at the rain-soaked pit and felt worried.
The pit is 6o meters long, more than 3o meters wide and 2 meters deep, like a fish pond. The pit that Victor ordered his men to dig was not for fish farming, nor for the foundation of the castle, but for the York family.
In order to build a fortress at the entrance to the Everglades, the Yorks carved out 3,000 square kilometers of surrounding land as their territory to defend against Ant-Man. But there are no rivers in the territory, only a few mountain streams, which means that there is not enough fertile land to be cultivated. Victor needed a lot of clay to make bricks for the House of York, so he decided to dig a huge pit at the border between the two domains. This giant crater is only 6 kilometers away from the Jinshui River, and it is close to the range of the fish-people. According to Victor's idea, while the fish-man was in a state of distress, he persuaded the York family to dig a ditch from the Jinshui River to connect the giant pit, so that a small reservoir would be formed.
The reservoir will be able to irrigate thousands of acres of farmland for the Yorks, who will support Victor's artificial river project when they get a taste of the sweetness.
Therefore, even if the road is far away, Victor asks the lord to dig the clay in the place he designates. However, several days of rain had completely ruined Victor's plans, and the pit was far from the size of a small reservoir before the rain had already submerged it.
The reason for this is that the digging is too slow. There are only about 100 people in Victor's territory who can come and dig a small reservoir 200 meters long, 100 meters wide, and 15 meters deep, and it will take at least four months. To avoid the rain, Victor needed to mobilize 1oooo people to complete the project in fifteen days, but Victor didn't have that many people.
"Forget it! I don't have to dig here anymore. Let's go. β
Victor returned to the manor sullenly, and before he could sit down, Lilia came to tell him that the York family's convoy of stones had arrived. Victor had to brace himself and go down with his men to meet the convoy.
The convoy of the York family was as far as the eye could see, it was full of carts pulled by two oxen, almost a hundred, followed by hundreds of young men and a group of elite cavalry. The cavalry gathered around a beautiful female knight who smiled sweetly at Victor.
"Nicole?!" Victor shouted in surprise.
Nicole jumped off the horse, walked to Victor's side, tilted her head and pursed her lips and smiled, "I didn't expect it!"
Maybe it's because of the increasingly sophisticated fighting spirit, Nicole's skin has become fairer and more supple, and the whole person looks bright and radiant, Victor's heart is hot, and he wants to hold the female knight in his arms, but there are hundreds of pairs of eyes staring around, and after all, he is still embarrassed, just holding Nicole's soft little hand and saying, "I really didn't expect it." It was a huge surprise. β
Nicole lifted her sharp chin and said proudly, "There is an even bigger surprise, I am now Baron Fenice York." β
"What?!" asked Victor blankly.
Nicole gave Victor a blank look and said angrily, "I'm also a nobleman now, and Lady Sylvia has renamed me Fenicex." β
"What baron did you just say?"
Nicole giggled and curtsied to Victor, "Lord Viscount Randall, I am your neighbor, Baron Fenice York. My territory is to the southwest of Randall's territory. β
Southwest, the entrance to the swamp, Nicole became the lord of the territory, and that was wonderful! Victor took Nicole's pretty face and kissed the delicate red lips fiercely.
