Chapter 60: Twenty Years of Change

The news of Baroque's return only circulated inside the Academy of Magic, and people outside did not know about it. So when he left with Mazaro Fasheng, it didn't cause much trouble. On the way, Majaro told him in great detail what had happened in the past twenty years.

At a time when the Paddington Alliance was facing its demise, the sudden appearance of the Ice Goddess saved them. Therefore, the goddess naturally gained the worship of all people, as evidenced by the temples and statues of the goddesses throughout Paddington, Hansa and Dalintan.

There was no threat from the demonic forces and the Apocalypse Holy See, and after Mu Lu and the others were released, they were bathed by the divine power of the Ice and Snow Goddess and repaired the wounds in their bodies. The army of the Paddington Alliance was quickly reorganized, and because of the backing of the goddess behind them, the Paddington alliance began to become aggressive, as long as the demigods and true gods did not interfere in the war of mortals, and the revenge-hungry Muru and others were confident to defeat anyone. And they do the same...... Although the number of armies is not as large as that of the Apocalypse Church, excellent orc commanders can always achieve the greatest victory at the lowest cost.

Of course, before that, there had been a reshuffling of forces within the Paddington League. Marshall, Grand Duke of the Duchy of Dalintan, who rebelled at the most critical moment, fled alone, and did not even dare to return to the Duchy of Dalintan. But in the end, he could not escape his tragic fate............ The Holy See would not provoke the Ice Goddess for the sake of a mutineer. When Marshall was finally abandoned by the Holy See and was about to escort him back to the Paddington League, Marshall was so frightened that he committed suicide. Except for some clansmen, he left only a young daughter, and no son inherited the throne.

At this time, I don't know who came up with a shrewd idea...... Perhaps it was the people who followed the Baroque, such as Savati or Pahomi, who suggested that one of the three children of the Baroque should be chosen to marry the daughter of the Grand Duke of Marshall, and that the Baroque son should inherit the Grand Duke's throne. Later, he and Marshallese's daughter had a son, and then their children succeeded to the throne of the Grand Duke of Dalintan.

This practice is actually quite common, after all, let's not forget that Susan inherited the throne of her second husband and became the Grand Duchess of Hanssa. As a result, the idea was quickly accepted by everyone. As Baroque's eldest son, Norero, was sure to succeed Susan as Archduke of Hansa. And Hilda and Baroque's child Baur, in the eyes of the orcs, is the purest orc bloodline, and will definitely inherit the blue wolf tribe in the future, so Celine's son [Nuel] was finally chosen.

Of course. Until Noel grows up, he needs to stay with his mother, and the Duchy of Dalintan is temporarily left to a group of suitable people selected by the Council of the Paddington League to govern on his behalfβ€”β€”β€”β€” and San Majaro explains what it means to be a suitable person, that is, a group of loyal brothers and clansmen in the Baroque. After more than 10 years of management and purging by these people. It can be said that after Nuel grew up and inherited the Duchy of Dalintan, all his subordinates were loyal to him.

The Duchy of Darlintan can be said to be the weakest part of the Paddington Alliance, and after making up for it, the forces in the northwest of the entire Sauron Continent have been completely integrated into a solid alliance state. In order to maintain the stability of the entire alliance, they have strengthened communication and integration with each other through various means. Let's say, in addition to the union of the daughter of Nuel and the Grand Duke of Marshall, the son of Schaumberg...... That is, the king of the Kingdom of Paddington [Frings] married Susan's daughter Claire. Schaumberg's daughter, in turn, was to marry Baroque's youngest son, Baur. As for the aristocracy, there is also a combination of the people. The list goes on. It can be said that in the Paddington Alliance, the racial barrier between the human race and the beast race is gradually disappearing, and it has become closer and closer, and maybe in a few hundred years, they will really become a complete country!

With the support of the Ice and Snow Goddess, how could the orcs who had suffered a big loss this time give up? After the internal problem was solved, their eyes finally turned to the eastβ€”β€”β€”β€” for reasons that were well known, it was impossible to go to the trouble of the Apocalypse Holy See. But for the beasts of the steppe of the horse farm, there is also the Odria Empire. But there are not many scruples.

Muru is still in command of the elite coalition forces, guarding the eastern border of Paddington, confronting demonic forces and the forces of the Holy See. Comparatively speaking, the forces are the weakest. It was not to make many provocations. And in Tulayan, in the northern tundra, there are also Protoya and Yuele Eagle of the Duchy of Hansea, each leading an army and launching attacks on the Horse Breeder Orcs and the Odria Empire again and again.

A fair battlefield duel to be able to defeat Tulayan. There are not many outstanding commanders such as Angela, Plottoya, and the Eagle of Yuele. It was the Odria Empire and the Orcs who raised horses that retreated one after another, and they lost an unknown number of territories in the past twenty years. Coupled with the call of Vitasia, the sister of the second prince of Bukred, the so-called [Theodria Empire] was established. The puppet [Old Odria Empire] supported by the nobles on the opposite side has become more and more difficult. If it weren't for the support of the Heavenly Apocalypse Holy See behind them, I'm afraid they would have been annexed by the Annihilation State long ago. Even so, it was still miserable, and there were many times when the Holy See of the Apocalypse needed to personally send the Holy See troops to support it in order to repel the invasion of the enemy.

Baur's most recent victory was when he led his army to ambush several legions of the Holy See that came to his aid, and he made a name for himself in the first battle. ............

Baroque listened silently to Majaro's chatter about these trivial things along the way, and listened to them with relish without the slightest boredom. He was missing the most crucial twenty years of his children's growth, and any little thing about his children at this moment made him willing to explore the bottom of it, as if it could make up for some shortcomings.

Majaro didn't know much about the goddess of ice and snow. Because the goddess rarely appeared in the crowd, it is only known that she did not choose to return to the Sky Court, but built her own temple on a high mountain in the Kundu Maya Mountains and lived here. The only people who could qualify for her temple were the Baroque family, or a few of the Baroque's most faithful brothers. ...... That's why, even after Baroque disappeared for twenty years, his family still reigned at the top of the entire Paddington League.................. Even everyone is speculating that the reason why the Ice Goddess favors the Paddington Union is entirely because of the face of the Baroque.

In any case, Elise, the goddess of ice and snow, has done too much for Baroque to be grateful. Thinking of the meeting he was going to meet, Baroque made up his mind. If the goddess Elise was angry with him, he decided to endure it all, and it was worth it.

With Majaro by his side, the journey was naturally much slower, and it took more than ten days to walk one or two thousand miles. Fortunately, Majaro told Baroque that the wedding of Baur and Schaumberg's daughter would be in a month, and there was plenty of time. Having learned that his family and clan were well, Baroque had also overcome his initial eagerness, becoming relaxed and leisurely. Leaving the Kingdom of Paddington, passing through the Duchy of Hanseas, walking through the Kundu Mayan Mountain Road, and finally arriving at the settlement of the [Blue Wolf Tribe] after half a month.

After twenty years of development, the population of the blue wolf tribe has increased several times, and there are constantly orc tribes who have broken away from the grassland of the horse breeding land and come here to take refuge, and the population has reached more than one million at this time. The small rock town in the past, with the great help of the gray dwarf clan, has been re-planned and constructed, and now it has become a majestic and vast huge city [Blue Wolf City]...... This is also the first big city created by the beasts independently, and it is not inferior to any human city at all. Recognized by all the races of the continent are............ With the completion of the Blue Wolf City, it also represents the true rise of the beast race, becoming one of the strongest races that can be compared with the human race, dragons, and elves.

Looking at the outline of the city at his feet, Baroque couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. Suddenly, there was a feeling that the clansmen could do their best even if they didn't have their own leadership. Maybe as long as you are behind them, you don't need to do everything yourself in the future. The affairs of the clan can be left to Norero, Nuel and Baur.

Before arriving in the city of blue wolves, the Baroque was separated from Majaro. Majaro entered the city early, and he went to another place.

As soon as he entered the Kundu Mayan Mountains, Baroque already felt the divine power of the goddess of ice and snow. Originally, it was not too surprising, after all, the Paddington Alliance at this time was under the protection of its divine power, especially the temple where she lived was on a certain mountain peak, and it was reasonable that the divinity in this place was also dense. But Baroque unexpectedly sensed another unfamiliar divine power, which came from the location of the Temple of the Ice and Snow Goddess. Suddenly there was the aura of another god, and he couldn't help but be suspicious. β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” although as a true god, he would definitely not care about the wedding of a little mortal, but Baroque was always a little uneasy, so he separated from Mazaro in advance and prepared to go to the goddess of ice and snow to have a look.

Although Baroque is still at the level of the true god, he is different from the gods of this world (for example, he has no godhead, but he still has strong divine powers), and his power is beyond any true god, only a little worse than the main god. Therefore, he was able to hide his power perfectly, even if he was close to the outer wall of the Ice and Snow Goddess Temple, it did not attract others to notice, but let him discover two unexpected guys first.

Falling from the sky on the open ground of this ornate temple made of snow and ice, Baroque seemed to turn a long corridor and enter the spire of a small mountain, and suddenly spoke, startling the two guys insideβ€”β€”β€”β€”

"Morningstar, Evian, didn't forget me, did you?" β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” Morningstar the Wolf and Evian the Thunderhawk!" )
