From Baron to Lord

“Thank you for your concern. I heard you took away quite a few swimsuits? Looks like you're full of energy,” Allen said, his expression still calm.

Albert awkwardly touched his nose: “Anyway, you made these things for people to wear, so I'm just promoting them for you.” Allen was speechless. He looked around: “Where's Viscount Frode? Did he already leave?” “He left earlier, but I saw it too, that kid also took away a lot of swimsuits!” Albert said meaningfully, stroking his chin.

Allen nodded slightly: “I understand. Also, have you heard any strange rumors lately?” Albert was stunned: “Strange rumors? No? What rumors?”

As a Southern Border Earl, Albert didn't know much about the affairs of the North, and regarding the Kingdom's affairs, only the Grand Duke and Marquis of the Ryan Principality knew.

This news had long been blocked. Many nobles were still enjoying life, and they couldn't imagine what kind of turmoil would occur soon.

This was the Grand Duke's way of stabilizing the situation in the Principality, but this method was tantamount to deceiving himself.

Allen was silent for a while, then shook his head: “It's nothing, but I still have to remind you to be vigilant about the surrounding situation at all times. If possible, put more energy into your warriors. Maybe one day, the sky will change.” Allen's words were very clear. Although he didn't directly mention the turmoil, his hint was very clear.

If Albert still didn't take any action, he would just have to wait for the turmoil a few months later to teach him a lesson.

Allen was certain that the Ryan Principality would definitely not be peaceful at that time. “Hmm?”

Albert raised his eyebrows slightly. Being able to reach the position of Earl, he was not a fool.

Allen's reminder made him pay a little attention.

However, neither he nor Allen continued to speak.

Albert took a deep look at Allen, then nodded: “Of course, thank you for your reminder.” Then he led his men and horses away from Skywolf City, heading towards the Thorn Flower Territory.

Allen turned around and returned to Skywolf Castle. Butler Edward had already prepared breakfast.

By noon, Skywolf City had slowly regained some of its former tranquility.

The young girls from yesterday's beauty pageant were sent to the southern port of Nicaea, after all, these were all for the development of the port of Nicaea.

As for the new delicacies, they had now begun to be promoted throughout the country.

The things Allen needed to do now had decreased a bit.

Now, the most important thing was the establishment of the school.

Of course, the school was still under construction. Sparrow had previously focused all his energy on the competition, and now he finally had the energy to focus on the school.

At noon, Allen and Sparrow were inspecting a piece of land that had been designated for the school.

Suddenly, a sky cavalryman riding a griffon landed…

Allen raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that these sky cavalrymen had cooperated well with the griffons.

“Lord, half-horse warriors discovered a group of dwarf tribes of considerable size near the coast in the Stranfoss Mountains. It seems they encountered a shipwreck.”

The sky cavalryman jumped off the griffon's back and knelt on the ground, speaking.

“Dwarf tribe?”

Allen raised his eyebrows slightly. It had finally arrived.

It was time to forge new knight armor.

“I understand. Tell the surrounding warriors not to harm these dwarves. I'll go take a look right away.”

Allen said quickly, then had the sky cavalryman convey his orders.

Afterward, he slowly prepared to ride the Silver Moon Wolf to the eastern Stranfoss Mountains to take a look.

“Allen, Allen! Where are you going!”

Lucy appeared at the castle gate, yawning.

Allen's eyes softened when he saw the saintly fairy girl.

“Lucy, a dwarf tribe was discovered in Skywolf Territory, I'm going to take a look. You rest at home.”

Allen cherished Lucy very much.

“Hmm, no, I want to be with you.”

Lucy shook her head and hugged Allen tightly, refusing to let go.

Allen helplessly stroked Lucy's head: “Alright, we'll go together.”

Soon, Allen rode the Silver Moon Wolf and led a small team of wolf cavalry away.

Of course, the wolf cavalry was not what Allen wanted to bring, but Marco and Thomas and others strongly requested it.

Before, when this group of wolf cavalry hadn't received magic potions to improve their strength, Marco and others didn't insist that Allen bring the wolf cavalry.

After all, the wolf cavalry was not particularly strong at that time.

Now it was different. Alchemists were providing them with magic potions day and night.

In a short period of time, there were already second-level knights, and even a hint of elites advancing towards third-level knights.

At this time, Marco and others naturally no longer felt that the knights of the Knights were weak.

And Allen, as the lord, how could he travel without cavalry following him?

So, there was the scene of Allen leading the wolf cavalry out of the city.

But it didn't matter, they were all Silver Moon Wolves, and the wolf cavalry could completely keep up.

Soon, Allen led the wolf cavalry across cities and came to the border between the territory, the Stranfoss Mountains, and the Great Sea.

A group of half-horse people and sky cavalrymen were already waiting here.

Among the half-horse people, a group of dwarves who were not tall, only one meter two or three, were in the center of the half-horse people's encirclement.

Chapter 162 Exhausted Dwarves, Allen's Help (2 Seeking Subscriptions, Self-Subscriptions, Monthly Tickets!)

At this moment, these dwarves still looked wet all over. Among them were the elderly, women, and children.

The people on the outermost periphery were all strong men, and they looked at the surrounding half-horse people vigilantly. They tried to communicate, but found that no one responded to them.

Until in the distance, Allen arrived with the wolf cavalry.

All the half-horse people and sky cavalrymen saluted to express their respect.

At the same time, the half-horse people also made way for Allen and Lucy to continue moving forward on the Silver Moon Wolf.

This scene surprised the dwarves.

They didn't understand why the beastmen would be so respectful to a human.

But they also knew very well that the person who could make everyone and the beastmen here so respectful must be the leader here.

“Respected human powerhouse, we are dwarves from the Aruk Forest. We don't have any intention of doing anything to your territory. It's just that we encountered a shipwreck… so we ended up here.”

The dwarf leader was very strong, with a full beard, just a little short.

Allen and Lucy were meeting dwarves for the first time.

“What's your name?”

Allen smiled and asked. Of course, it was impossible for him to treat these dwarves sent by the system as guys who were trying to sneak attack the territory.

“My name is Bronzebeard, and I am the patriarch of all the dwarves here.”

Bronzebeard said very respectfully.

Allen nodded. He glanced at the other dwarves behind Bronzebeard.

These dwarves all looked very nervous. Some dwarves were holding weapons in their hands, and even more dwarves had many wounds on their bodies.

It seemed that this group of dwarves had not simply encountered a shipwreck, but had encountered more things.

“Respected powerhouse, we have no ill intentions and hope you can let us leave here.”

Bronzebeard requested.

Allen raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. Want to leave? What a joke!

“Bronzebeard, let's not talk about whether I'll let you go or not. Even if I let you go, look at your people. They don't seem to have the strength for a long journey.”

Allen pointed to the dwarves behind Bronzebeard.

Bronzebeard also showed a somewhat worried look when he heard this. He turned around and glanced at his exhausted people.

Escaping the Aruk Forest had already made them lose everything, which had taken all their strength. It was not easy to leave by boat, but they encountered a shipwreck.

Where did the current people have the strength to go on a long journey?

What worried Bronzebeard the most was that some dwarf warriors had already been injured in the previous battle. If this continued, I'm afraid there would be more bad luck than good.

But besides leaving, was there any other way?

Bronzebeard asked himself in his heart, it seemed not. Humans are cunning creatures. They are greedy, selfish, but unexpectedly united and powerful.

Humans are an extremely complex species, but it is undeniable that they are smart and capable. The most important thing is that humans reject all races other than humans.

This leads to them not being able to coexist peacefully with humans.

This is also the reason why they escaped their homes this time.

The Duchy of Shack launched a sudden encirclement and attack on their Aruk Forest.

Trying to capture some dwarves to build weapons for them.

Bronzebeard and the others were not easily escaped, but many people were killed or injured.

In the current situation, whether to leave or not seemed to be the same result, which was death.

Bronzebeard was a little silent, not knowing what to say.

Allen knew very well that this dwarf had no way out except to stay.

But the dwarves didn't seem to be thinking in this direction.

Allen had to cough softly and said: "Bronzebeard, if you don't want your people to be dragged down by injuries and exhaustion, then you can choose to live in my territory. I can provide you with food, shelter, and treatment."

As soon as Allen's words came out, there was a faint commotion among the dwarves.

Even Bronzebeard looked up in astonishment, with vigilance and surprise in his eyes as he looked at Allen.

In fact, in the climate surrounded by half-horse people, he had already made the worst preparations.

That is, to become someone else's slave.

But what he didn't expect was that the human powerhouse who appeared in front of him didn't directly grab them as slaves, but instead communicated with him.

This gave Bronzebeard a little hope, after all, this was one of the few humans who was willing to communicate with him equally.
