Chapter 522, The Return of the Hero

The year 1368 of the Imperial Calendar was another glorious year for the Cormiers.

At the beginning of the year, Aaron, Earl of Salion, successfully regained the rockland, although he did not yet have full control of the entire rockfield, but with Aaron's current strength, it was only a matter of time before the rockfield was fully controlled.

In February, Waujin returns, and the story of Aaron's legendary adventures soon spreads throughout the kingdom.

At the end of February, Aaron was officially inaugurated as Grand Duke of Green Veron, and was appointed as Grand Duke of Conquering Yi under the authority of the Kingdom Council.

In March, a rare miracle in a century, dozens of dragons flew over Cormier, and the primeval golden dragon represented the platinum dragon god Bahamut and the general Aaron signed the "Holy Alliance", announcing the return of the platinum dragon god Bahamut and the official entry of the dragon power.

Some dragons began to make their home in Cormier.

In March again, Charlotte Kaladenae announced her return to Cormier, and with it, Miss Warlock was promoted to the strength of Legendary, and Cormier added another legendary powerhouse, the tax-rich Alice Serre announced the opening of a three-day flowing banquet at Cormier's War Mage Academy, and performed a spell show.

The remnants of the goblins and orcs were finally outnumbered by the combined efforts of the dragons and Aaron's army, and except for a few remnants of the orcs who fled north to the desert, there was no hostile force for the green.

Aaron announced that he had ceded one-tenth of the Duchy of Green Veron to the dragons of Bahamut under the covenant of the Holy Alliance.

In the same month, as spring plowing was in full swing, the general of the expedition, Aaron Salion, officially announced that he would begin the Northern Expedition after the spring ploughing was over.

There is only one goal, the Great Desert of Enoch.

The whole army is on duty!

Aaron recruited adventurers from all over the country, and all adventurers who were willing to join the Northern Expedition could join this magnificent Northern Expedition, and no matter what the adventurer wanted, Aaron could pull out a wealth of treasures from his magical house, whether it was a strength boost, divine blessings, magical equipment, money, or other rewards.

No one doubted that Aaron would be able to deliver on these promises, simply because the Chaos Expedition had proven his magic.

As soon as the conscription order was posted, there were as many as 8,000 adventurers who came to sign up, and as time went by, more and more adventurers joined the ranks of the Northern Expedition.

And a few special adventurers are also joining at this time.

Passing by the glorious and prosperous Susar and entering the King's Forest, the sunlight immediately became a lot fainter.

The status of Cormier's King's Forest in this country has already been mentioned before, so I will not repeat it this time.

Dressed in a gold-rimmed robe on a white background, with a golden lion painted on the cloak, the team of holy warriors with obvious identities was welcomed in Cormier, and they successfully exchanged customs clearance documents in the name of the three gods of justice in Susar, as for the reason, it was naturally to go to Green Weilong to participate in the Northern Expedition.

"Lightbreaker, I think I must admit that Cormier is better than I thought."

Several paladins sat in the carriage, and one of the younger paladins said to the legendary paladin arbiter led by him, the leader of the operation, "I heard that you are from Cormier, and you are also familiar with His Highness the Great General of the Expedition, Salian, can you tell us his story?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the holy warriors collectively turned their eyes to the leader who was sitting at the back of the carriage, holding a big sword in both hands, and did not say a word.

Originally, the leader of this operation should not be him, but the famous paladin Sir Caton of the Burning Heart Knights.

However, Sir Caton suddenly announced that he was retiring, and for the rest of his life, he wanted to spend time with his family.

No one can blame Sir Catdon's decision to retire, because this glorious Paladin Master has truly dedicated his life to the righteous cause of the multiverse, and no one has ever given his all as a role model for paladins as he did, from a radiant youth to a tired middle age to a rock-solid old age.

But everyone is still surprised why Kaidong suddenly chose to retire.

Only the legendary paladin arbiter sitting in the back of the carriage knew what had happened.

Because that day, he went home with Kaidong.

Sir Caton hadn't been home for a long, long time, and he was excited to introduce his companion to his family, his beloved wife and daughter, and how much he missed them, though he couldn't remember the last time he had been home.

Probably only the holy warriors could understand this contradiction, the conflict between family and career, between law and morality.

The legendary Paladin Renard, the "Lightbreaker", the arbiter of the Golden Lion Order, and the legendary Paladin, expressed his understanding of Sir Kaidon's choice.

That's why he had to break up with Miss Maria Lysa.

He never intended to be a father, never.

But just as Caton told how much he loved his wife and children, an embarrassing scene happened.

The servant tried everything to stop him, but Kaidon didn't mind opening his room directly, and just as the paladin master told the other paladin that he had nothing to hide, he found his wife and an unknown man sleeping on his big bed.

The man's name was Sir William.

When Caton's wife (also known as Maria) was found to be in adultery, she was ashamed, but she also questioned righteously what was the difference between a husband who didn't come home for several years and was dead.

And Sir William is not afraid of boiling water, and he said that either you will go to Am's court and sue me, and according to Am's law, your wife and I will be hanged.

Either you stab me to death with a sword, I know, you are a holy warrior, and you will break your oath if you kill people indiscriminately.

Or, you can continue your multiverse divine cause with peace of mind, and you will support your wife, and you will not worry about it!

Sir William had clearly played with the law and the Paladin's oath.

If Caton sued Sir William, his wife and Sir William would have been hanged, and Caton would have broken his vows for breaking the Paladin's marriage vows.

If Caton stabbed Sir William to death with a sword, he would also break his oath.

Isn't this bullying of honest people?

Should honest people choose to forgive? Should honest people be held at gunpoint?

We have spent our lives guarding justice, but who will guard our own justice?

Renard was silent, and confronted with the aggressive Sir William and the angry Sir Caton, Reynard finally told Sir Caternard, maybe you should go back and talk to your wife.

You owe much to your Mary, and I owe much to my Mary.

What you owe to Mary will have a chance to be repaid in this life.

What I owe to Mary will have to be repaid in the next life.

Oh, do I have an afterlife?

Caton is a bit too mother-in-law, and if I had this kind of thing, I would have proposed a glorious and righteous judicial duel, and then let him die in disrepute.

Think about what Disma would do?

Well, he should be cutting all the way from Waterdeep to Baldur's Gate.

Think about what Aaron would do?

Oh, is there anyone who doesn't like Aaron?

It's just me...... It's just me......

Renard clenched the artifact in his arms, the Holy Avenger, which was Sir Kaidon's entrustment, and after a conversation with his wife and daughter, Sir Kaidon finally forgave his wife for her infidelity, because he believed that he had failed to fulfill his husband's responsibilities, and that he had spent his whole life fulfilling the vows of the Paladin, and now it was time to fulfill the vows of the family, and for the rest of his life, he would live for his family.

"Lightbreaker?" The paladin's voice interrupted Reynard's recollections, "Are you listening? ”

"That's where Aaron was attacked." Renard said suddenly, pointing in a direction in the King's Forest: "There, Aaron and his companions were attacked by a sorcerer, and Aaron awakened his bloodline ability in danger and turned from a warrior into a warlock. ”

"Oooooooo

I, the awakening bloodline, was earlier than Aaron.

Now, there are only two people left, and the sons of Bane have been slaughtered by me, and there are only two left, and I will completely lift the fear and shadow left by the god of tyranny to the kingdom, and at that moment, my life will come to an end.

Give me power, my lord Thom, give me power, Holy Avenger!

Renard clenched the artifact sword in his hand, and the Holy Avenger's unremarkable blade still shook as the carriage advanced.

It had already drunk the blood of many Bann Divine Sons, and under Renard's frantic pursuit, only two of the remaining Bann Divine Sons remained.

Just two of them!

…………

The rocks have become completely unrecognizable to many people.

When Renard arrived at Green Veron, a soft spring breeze blew in his face.

In the distance, flocks of migratory birds and occasional dragons dot the green sky, clear rivers run through the plains, and on both sides of the river, fields emerge from the horizon.

Renard had been to the rocks before, and in his impression, the scenery of the rocks was always so dry, except for the occasional desert steppe, the sand dunes, the Gobi, the desert, the wasteland, except for the stones and stones.

But now, Renard suspects he's in the wrong place.

The land is very fertile, with orchards and orchards. Each private farm has fences, barns, kilns, and many ditches that flow down the hill through this verdant land, rivers and ponds dot the plains, waterwheels sway, reflecting the spring ploughing cattle and hard-working farmers, and every house hangs the purple dragon flag, symbolizing the heartfelt love of every Green Weilong person for their motherland.

Most of the paladins had seen the world, but they were still amazed by the scenery of the green veron.

Mountains and waters, cities and villages, farmlands and fields, mortals and dragons, together form a beautiful picture.

Gradually, the capital of the Duchy of Green Veron appeared in front of Renard and the others.

Tivanton.

It was a huge crossroads central city, which was built and expanded.

Purple flags can be seen in the distance, a large number of ships docked near the winding river, the canal dug from the Feilong Water Lake leads directly to the city of Tifanton, and the shouts of the wharf laborers can be heard before they get close.

Is this still Tivanton?

Renard vaguely remembered that Tivanton was once a border city located at the junction of desert and forest, and it was more like a military fortress than the original nature of the city, but now just by seeing this place for the first time, Renard felt the prosperity and richness of this place.

In time, it will not be a problem to catch up with the goalkeepers of Amm and BodΓΈ here.

Trade is productivity, trade is vitality, trade is wealth!

"We're here." Renard got out of the carriage with the paladin team, and he thanked the coachman, who proudly introduced the glorious deeds of Green Veron along the way, but when Renard and the others were about to thank him and give him a magical blessing, the coachman immediately refused, saying that he was busy making money.

"I'm leaving."

"His Royal Highness the General has set the minimum number of shifts we should run a day, and there are many rewards for running enough!" While registering with the Haim guards at the city gate, the coachman hurriedly mounted his horse: "I am different from you holy warriors, I don't have any skills, so I want to run a few more cars, earn more money, and buy me a few fields, so that I don't have to work so hard in the future!" Thanks to Her Royal Highness Alice Serre's Minimum Wage Decree, I can save a lot of money even as a coachman! Hehe~ The days are getting better and better. ”

The Salian shogunate established a "public transport system" with shuttle buses day and night to clear traffic jams throughout the principality.

"Old George, you idiot!" The guards at the city gate next to him laughed and said, "How much land you want!" Are you afraid that it will not be able to do it? When we conquer the Great Desert and turn the Great Desert into a green Veilon, we are not afraid of no land, but we are afraid that no one will grow anything! I see, you still have a few more babies to contribute to our Green Veron and Salian shogunate! ”

"I'm born! I was born! The coachman blushed and screamed, "I'm already giving birth to three children!" I'm not in a hurry, the eldest wants a piece of land, the second wants it, and of course the third one wants it! Am I in a hurry to choose a good place? ”

"Hahahahaha~" There was a burst of laughter at the city gate.

The entire Green Veron was in a land frenzy, and Aaron issued an edict in the name of the Salian shogunate, declaring that any Cormier nationality could freely acquire land in the Green Veron, of which the Sunset Leader could buy it directly, and other Cormiers would have to obtain it through military merit and allegiance ceremonies, as for the adventurers, it was still mainly based on other rewards, and if the adventurers were willing to naturalize Cormier after making military achievements, Aaron would not mind accepting them as Salian's subjects.

"Hey, yo, it's another group of strangers who have been recruited by His Highness the General." In the face of Renard and the others, the attitude of the city gate guards was not so good: "Are you ready to contribute to the great cause of the Northern Expedition?" ”

As soon as they entered the city of Tivanton, Renard and the others immediately felt the fiery atmosphere rushing to their faces.

Construction was underway everywhere in the city, and although the expanded city already had a lot of buildings, Aaron had almost bulldozed the entire city and replanned it.

Hordes of workers are doing their job.

Signs are erected on the side of the road.

"Grab the sunny day, catch the cloudy day, the drizzle is a good day, the moon is daytime, and the sunny day is a day for two days!"

"Light rain is dry, heavy rain is hard to dry, heavy rain is dry, no rain is desperate, dry and dry!"

"His Royal Highness the General announced: double working hours, double wages, overtime plus money and meals, three days of work on holidays, one year to buy land, three years to buy a house, seven years to naturalize Lu Weilong, everyone is to serve the public! Medical insurance, social security plus annuity, welcome to the Northern Expedition! ”

Renard watched with curiosity as the whole city fell into a frenzy of construction, and his heart was pounding for a moment.

This was not the case with the ideal society of the paladins, but the paladins found themselves with no reason not to support Aaron's rule.

After a long time, the legendary paladin sighed: "This, is this Aaron?" ”

"Look!" At this moment, someone shouted: "His Royal Highness the General has come down!" ”

Before the words fell, the dragon's roar sounded first.

"Roar~~~"
