When the inhabitants of Heim Territory heard the news of the victory, they experienced a state of astonishment, surprise, and surprise. It is the hope of every civilian to be able to continue to live a peaceful and undisturbed life. A war with the Great Lord of the South began silently and ended quickly, and in addition to making the drinks in the tavern sell better and the villagers have more to talk about, the biggest benefit is to make it more harmonious between the humans and the orc inhabitants.

Aside from the orcs of Boulder Village, Siegel did not sign the militia. He knew that if the plan he had made with Janet didn't work, no amount of militia would work. Although it is the duty of every civilian to serve in the military for a lord, no one will feel bad if they can avoid the battlefield and switch to safer labor.

Flying skills weren't enough to support Siegel back to the castle, so when he returned to the ground, he summoned the Phantom Pony. The Hero Leader's soldiers have all passed through the Rope Bridge, and they will return to their homes in the south via the Ore Avenue, under the watchful eye of the soldiers led by Manna and Hum. There are only a dozen or so villagers in the Rift Valley who are cleaning up the battlefield, and they have harvested thousands of weapons of all kinds, more than 40 horses, and a variety of armor. Except for some well-made weapons, Siegel was to be put away and waited for their knight owners to pay for them, and he would give them as a reward to everyone who took part in the battle.

As for the captured vanguard cavalry, they were worth a lot of money and could be exchanged for a large ransom from Viscount Drey. However, the money does not fall into Siegel's pocket, and he has an invisible ally to thank.

"Vane County has been a great help this time. Siegel said to Janet, "And it's all amazing that you've worked so hard to make it happen." ”

Janet smiled, and after she got married, she looked even more radiant, always full of happiness. Her dream has finally become a reality, a stable home, and a husband who cares for her. A valiant knight and a well-mannered gentleman. It's the sweetest dream in the world, so any threat that might ruin this beauty is to be removed.

Although the Uther family is powerful, they are not without enemies. Even if you can't find an enemy, you can make one for them. Janet thought of the herpecularly unknown family of Baron Åles Hugel of the Vannetshire, who, though they mainly cultivated barley and sugar beet, had been whispering among the southern aristocracy. But that doesn't mean they don't have any ambitions. If the Uthers had taken possession of the Heim Territory, then the county of Vanet would have been completely sandwiched in the middle, and there would never be a day of survival. Janet thought of this, and wooed Baron Hugel to make him stumble on Viscount Uther.

This plan, planned by Janet and executed by Fezak, worked wonders, so Siegel knew the route of the Rift Valley for a long time, and knew the most vulnerable position of Hero's army. He just needs to make sure that Viscount Dre is on the bait, and then wait for the right moment to ambush him.

"Things in Wane County still need to be kept under wraps. Baron Åles hoped that any rumors would get out. Janet said with a smile: "He is still very careful, such a partner is worth cultivating." ”

"Cultivate?" Siegel also smiled: "Do you think our Heim Territory is strong enough to cultivate other territories?"

"Sooner or later. Janet blinked, grabbed the corners of her skirt, and jumped away from Siegel. "Do you still have the strength after the battle?"

"When I saw blood, I really needed a woman. ”

The event, which the troubadours called the "War of the Day," was widely circulated in the South and was written into poetry. in it. Lord Siegel appeared on both battlefields at the same time, commanding the orc Huck and the human Manna to defeat the invading enemy. But people understand it very well. Among the southern nobles, the family of Dre Uther was still not to be taken lightly, so they changed the reason for the end of the war: because Baron Siegel had impressed Viscount Drey, the two sides talked like nobles, and finally decided to cease the war.

This dramatic process adds a lot of good passages to the poem, but it also breaks the poet's brain to find the right rhyme - but this is only an episode in life.

Heim finally had a chance to breathe and develop, and the fame gained in the "One Day War" also brought many knights here. After seeing the beautiful city of Myr. Many knights approached Siegel and wanted to swear allegiance to him. Siegel took them in as knights of the realm, but did not give them the guards and militia. Hum and Manna are still the people he trusts the most.

The knights, formed in separate teams, would become the lord's guard, a purely cavalry unit. For this. Siegel wasn't too concerned, he felt that his magic was the real guard, and the knights couldn't keep up with him. However, Janet scratched Siegel's chest and lay lazily on his pillow, saying that these were the necessary rules of the nobles of the territory, and they should not be changed easily.

"Knight of the Guards is an honor. The kitten said, "They don't want anything more, just this." ”

It was one of Siegel's virtues to be good - and though Sir Bill would have some objections to it, he was not around now. After leaving behind the knights, there were many artisans, merchants, and honest farmers who came to try their hand at Heim and see if they could find a good life. The population of the Heim Realm began to rise, and the manpower and production capacity of the gold mines increased, which greatly boosted commerce and consumption in the territory.

The steady development of the territory meant that Siegel's life began to become very regular.

Moore had already completed the most basic combat training, and he had a certain foundation in endurance, strength, and swordsmanship, so Siegel began to find him and teach him martial arts. Perhaps it was the life of a mage that trained Siegel's mind and calculations, and he became more efficient and harder to hit in battle. On the contrary, Mohr would stiffen and sore every day and fall asleep with bruises all over his body.

However, this training benefited the young squire, who quickly improved and soon learned more from the new knights. Fezak saw this in his eyes, and knew that there was finally hope of a knight in the family, and he worked even harder.

The steward of the territory has not been available, but Janet has taken the matter up, and Fezak is finally much more relaxed. He came to see Siegel today to report on a covert investigation arranged a while ago.

"Mr. Baron Siegel, there have been three places in the New World that have been plagued by earthquakes in the past ten years. In addition to the Rift Valley near us, earthquakes often occur in the Wind Remnant Hills and Elven Forests of the Northern Wasteland. However, these two places were only recorded because they were inhabited, and it is difficult to say whether there were earthquakes in those deserted wildernesses. ”

Siegel nodded, explained a few words about the territory, and let Fezak leave. He didn't want anyone to see his worries. After the remains of the skeleton warrior were brought back, Siegel was soon motivated by his interest to begin researching it. There is nothing special about the skeleton itself, it is only made from the most ordinary human corpses, and all its power comes from the patterns on its body.

This is a new system of power, and there is no way to start it, and spells such as parsing spells and deciphering ciphertexts are ineffective. Siegel also brought the skeleton to Modesty, but the dragon lady only shook her head, unable to do anything about it.

Over time, the patterns on the skeleton's body began to dissolve, like rusty iron objects, and the bones followed in its footsteps. The erosion of the four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire has shown its power, and it is believed that it will not be long before this skeleton will turn into dust and disappear from this world.

The only thing Siegel could do was to carefully record the patterns all over its body and save it for later study.

In this way, Siegel lived a regular life of training, studying, applying spells to build castles, and adjudicating territorial disputes, leaving all disturbing things outside the realm behind for the time being.

He was a good fighter when it came to wielding a sword, and many of them were no match for him. However, Siegel knew that because he was a lord, many knights would not really use their full strength. Only the orc Huck would not show mercy, breaking Siegel's nose several times, and leaving bruises on his body, large and small—but Hum Ke was not much better, and his face was just as miserable. Only a man from the wilderness of the North, struggling to survive all day long, would be so straightforward. So Siegel said to the knights, "I am a mage, but if your swordsmanship is not as good as mine, then how can you be called a true knight?"

Then, he would leave the training ground and return to the massive body of Myr City. After several months of hard work, by the autumn time, all the outer walls of the castle were finally built, the rooms were divided, and the rest of the work was basically inside. The Dwarven Runemaster enthusiastically used reinforcement runes everywhere, striving to make each place resistant to trebuchet attacks. Luckily, the gold mines in Zebra Mountain were able to support the castle's expenses, and Siegel was able to learn about runes from the dwarves. Now that the castle was full of dwarves, Modette was so disturbed that she flew back to St. Thur's Peak after the outer walls were repaired.

Siegel knew how to get her back, just make a large Elemental Collecting Circle. In a corner of the castle, in Siegel's study, a large rune-magic circle is being designed, which is the result of his recent magical studies, and is also preparing for his own work to build a magic tower.

The rune drawings are not yet complete, mainly because after amplifying the concept of the rune element circle, it is easy to collapse. In the process of separating and filtering the four elements, the rune array is always in an unstable magical environment, and the harder it works, the more it destroys the working environment. While the rune part is not affected, the failure of any one component will be magnified. Siegel struggled to solve this problem, and it was very difficult to make any progress. So he was looking forward to it day and night, hoping that the builders of the Mage Federation would arrive as soon as possible. (To be continued......)
