Great Nobleman

After the third test of the Nine-Headed Mosasaur was declared a successful conclusion.

Time unknowingly began to pass quickly, and more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Because the war on the outer defense line of the Snowy Mountains in the east of the Kaya Empire did not exceed the control of the empire.

So Brand also stayed safely in the Morning Flower Castle to study and practice every day.

Occasionally, he took time to deal with government affairs, and held meetings with the nobles of the Flower County and Anthony who was responsible for assisting in defense, to exchange information and so on.

In addition, various people have come to try to visit him recently.

——Not only domestic nobles, but also a few foreign dignitaries who are friendly with their empire are also included.

It is not just because of their strong combat power against the Rios Continent that their reputation has greatly increased.

It is also because of the Elf Forest Maritime Trade Team that is gradually approaching the empire's waters.

It is worth mentioning here:

Andy's previous expectation of returning to the empire in two weeks was ultimately not realized.

When they were halfway through their journey, they discovered in advance that there were marine races gathering in the north of the route, which were obviously not well-intentioned.

So the maritime trade team temporarily stopped at a large floating port military base along the way.

They waited for the sea corps of the Elf Forest and the Kaya Empire to send troops to defeat and expel them and eliminate the hidden dangers before they set off again.

According to the latest news received by Brand, if there are no other accidents, Andy and others will take at least a week to reach the imperial waters.

This morning, in the study of Morning Flower Castle.

Looking at Brand who was reviewing documents in front of him, Chris said slowly:

"The major ports of the empire have been deserted for several months.

From the news I received, although the war between the empire and the Western Alliance of the Kingdom of Eternal Night in Rios Continent has not eased.

But this did not prevent everyone from preparing for the long-awaited trade event.

In response, our Morning Flower Territory has also prepared a large number of goods in advance for sale.

In addition to the expected commercial tax revenue, if it goes as expected, our Morning Flower Territory's previous war preparation expenses should be compensated to a certain extent.

However, due to the problem of stowaways, in the elves Before and after the arrival of the Forest Trade Team, we also need to spend more time on public security issues.

The Judgment Department has been patrolling the North recently, and it seems that there have always been stowaways lurking in many uncontrolled areas in the North.

A few days ago, the neighboring province seemed to have discovered a beast-shaped plague-infected undead in the wild.

Fortunately, it was discovered and properly handled by the staff of the Judgment Department in time.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome. "

Hearing Chris's words, Brand shook his head and said:

"The problem of stowaways cannot be solved in a short time.

Don't look at the undead army in the east that can't advance an inch, our defense line Always stable.

But our enemies have been looking for our flaws, looking for opportunities to give us a painful counterattack after the last successful raid.

I have already told Hisali about the port trade, and the guards will patrol the port at that time.

Later, I will ask Uncle Anthony to send troops to help, and the library will also monitor the overall situation in the castle.

When necessary, I will also take people out. "

Chris nodded and said:

"In this way, it is basically foolproof.

In addition, it is not just us, many nobles in the empire are waiting for the next battle with the elves. Caravan trade.

There are quite a lot of imperial dignitaries gathered in the Morning Flower Territory, and many of them are our partners.

Some of them have already visited, but some of them also know that the lord is busy, so they chose not to come and disturb.

Will the lord hold a banquet later? At that time, invite the head of the Elf Chamber of Commerce to come and get together? "

Brand nodded and said:

"Okay, anyway, several masters have already set off one after another, and they can help entertain them at that time."

When talking to this point, the purple gem necklace on Brand's chest suddenly began to flash.

After casually summoning the empty shadow screen light curtain to check the space code of the communication request.

Brand raised his eyebrows unconsciously.

-Thinking carefully, he has not contacted this lady for a while, and he doesn't know how the other party is doing.

While thinking, Brand accepted the communication request.

The next moment, on a snow hill, a beautiful tall lady with white and smooth skin, green hair draped over her shoulders, and wearing an exotic green feather dress appeared in the picture of the empty shadow screen light curtain in front of him.

After a moment of gazing, Brand smiled and said:

"Good morning, Ms. Ovelia.

I haven't seen you for many days, and you still look as elegant as ever."

Hearing this, Ovelia spread her hands and said helplessly:

"Good morning, Brand.

Although I don't mind communicating with you slowly according to human habits, I have something urgent to ask today."

After saying this, Ovelia turned the perspective of the empty shadow screen.

The picture in front of Brand quickly turned to the other side, with endless snowy hills and a conspicuous gray-white area in the far distance of vision.

After frowning and opening the telescope, Brand found that the gray-white area was actually a large area of ​​[Skeleton Land].

There are many fortifications and dense skeletons and undeads on it!

-That should be the base of a large army of undeads!

Just when he wanted to ask in detail.

Ovelia walked into the picture of the empty shadow screen and explained helplessly:

"After I woke up, I found that many undead had come to the vicinity of where I live.

The monsters that followed me seem to have run far away now.

After some exploration, I found that there was even an army of undead stationed there.

This is the eastern part of your Kaya Empire, a little deeper from the outer edge of the Snowy Mountains to the east, not far from the Endless Sea.

The undead army has been stationed here. Are they preparing to fight with you?

Or, have you actually started fighting now?

I also found some soldiers from your empire when I was exploring."

Hearing the bizarre thing that the undead army appeared next to Ovelia when she woke up.

Brand was puzzled for a moment.

Of course, he quickly understood that the sleep mentioned by Ovelia was not in the same time scale as their human cognition.

After briefly sorting out his thoughts, Brand patiently explained:

"Our empire has been fighting the Undead Army for several months. If Ms. Ovelia lives in the coastal area nearby, I suggest that you move to another place as soon as possible.

It is different from the situation a few months ago.

The Rios Continent has made a large-scale reinforcement.

Now the entire Snowy Mountains are almost their backyard. No place can be called safe, even the coastal areas.

If you don't mind, you can come to my territory and I can provide you with a place to stay."

After understanding the current situation and hesitating and thinking for a while, Ovelia said:

"It's not impossible to stay in your place temporarily.

But I may not stay there for a long time. If I am not satisfied with the environment there, I will choose to leave.

You can't stop me then!"
