Of this group of people, the leader is naturally King Lane, behind him is Lucy, then Yake, and then some magicians.
Link saw Glenn Tie, Fontelain, Vossminlen, and a few court magicians after that.
As soon as King Lane came in, he asked in the first sentence: "Master, how is the situation in the north?"
The others also looked at Link. Although they all knew that since Link came back, the situation would definitely not be too bad, but they still had to listen to Link himself to truly feel at ease.
Link smiled slightly and said, "No rush, please sit down first."
The hall is very spacious, with a circle of chairs. After everyone sat down, Link talked about the situation in the north, starting from before the decisive battle of Orida, talking about the Job people, and vaguely said that he went to a different plane , the matter of strength improvement, all the way to the current situation of Orida Fortress.
In the end, Link said: "In general, we have won. The dark elves are no longer able to fight, and their fighters are almost dead."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, their hearts were heavy.
Although the dark elves suffered heavy casualties, why not them. After the fall of the Pope, only 17,000 elite soldiers died, and even the walls of Orida Fortress were breached. The thrilling part, even after listening to Link's report, still felt palpitations.
No one dared to imagine the tragic situation after the Aurida Fortress was breached. Fortunately, the Aurida Fortress was finally defended.
After listening, King Ryan sighed: "I didn't expect the situation in the north to be so critical. Otherwise, I would never send a letter for help. It really almost ruined the big thing."
Link's heart moved, and he looked at the old king, and he saw that his face was full of self-blame, but those eyes seemed a little indifferent, and seemed to have a special meaning.
For a king or a politician, it is not enough to just listen to his words, but also to see his concrete actions.
King Ryan may have blamed himself, but Link is still unclear about what he thinks in his heart and his attitude towards Duke Abel.
Link thought of Duke Abel again.
In all fairness, as the commander-in-chief of an army, Duke Abel did not do a bad job. Although sometimes this guy was a bit decisive, he finally chose to stay in Fort Orida. Although it was to protect the northern border, he was not afraid of his brother mean.
Thinking of this, Link felt a bit of a headache, so he simply didn't think about it. No matter how disagreeable the two Abel family members are, with their temperament, they will definitely keep the bottom line.
With his current strength, no one would dare to think about him and his territory, they would only scramble to win him over.
These thoughts were just a flash of thought. Link relaxed his mind and said with a smile: "Fortress Orida is currently extremely short of soldiers and military supplies. Lucy, we can't provide soldiers, but the military supplies should be able to provide part of it?"
Lucy's temperament is quite different now. She was a shrewd and capable female mercenary half a year ago, but now, she has changed into a gorgeous dark red long dress, and her long fiery red hair has also been cut into a capable short hair. Wearing a seal on his neck, and a pair of silver-chain spectacles around his neck, he seems to be the style of the Field Steward.
Hearing what Link said, she took out a large ledger, flipped to one of the pages, handed it to Link, and said at the same time: "My lord, this is the current situation of our territory... We can at most Provide food for the fortress for about half a year, but if there is more, it will affect the normal order of the territory... After that, the kingdom will have to pay for it."
King Ryan on the side was immediately embarrassed. The reason was simple, he had no money.
The hot spring city was destroyed, and all the wealth in the city was robbed by those sons of bitches of Delonga. More than half of the residents of the hot spring city fled to the north, and a small half fled to Field.
As for him, the king, now in name only, he is just a guest in Field's territory, and all food and clothing are provided by Field.
You want him to take money to pay military expenses, where can he get the money
Link also knew about this situation. He heard Lucy's tone and vaguely knew her plan. He probably wanted to use this matter to win more rights for Field.
This is a good thing, and Link cooperated with her in the performance. He looked at the data on the ledger, and pondered: "You don't need to mention the money in advance, but you can remember that we have to scrape together at least 30,000 people's food and drink for a year." .”
"Yes, lord, but I still want to say that we can't provide food for free. We have to be responsible to the people. They must get paid for the food they provided." Lucy said with a business-like attitude.
King Lane finally couldn't listen anymore, he was a little angry, and said coldly: "Lucy, the kingdom will never forget any kindness. If you can keep providing food, I can exempt all future taxes on Field."
In the current situation, Ryan actually does not have the confidence to collect taxes from Field. Now that he says this, it is actually a favor.
However, Lucy was just waiting for his words, she nodded seriously: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, then I have no problem."
The lord Link is back, and he is still a legendary powerhouse. Under such a situation, Field can actually be completely independent, but if he does it so arbitrarily, he will lose a lot of reputation. The Norton Kingdom has been established for hundreds of years, and there are still many diehards. Reckless behavior will be opposed by many people.
And as it is now, a little bit of transition will not only gain a good reputation, but if something happens to the Norton Kingdom in the future, they, Field, will be able to receive the Norton Kingdom's inheritance as a matter of course.
This is a secret plan in Lucy's heart. She can't say it, but she can do it quietly.
Here, King Lane also recalled that his army relied on Field to provide military supplies, and he, the king, lost the right to tax Field. This...is simply the same as giving up the throne.
In fact, King Ryan understands the power of it, but he has no confidence now that he is dependent on others.
'Forget it, Master Link is now a legendary powerhouse, he is the pillar of the kingdom, he should have privileges, but fortunately, he can't do too much. 'King Ryan can only comfort himself like this.
Link can see the calculations involved, but in his eyes, these are all mundane and trivial matters. He didn't want to worry about it, so he waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, you should send someone to discuss with Manager Lucy in detail. what do you think?"
Ryan nodded: "Of course no problem."
Link looked at Master Glenn Xi again, and asked, "How's the situation in East Valley?"
Glenn Xi smiled and said: "The situation is not bad. Ankelu is dead, and Delonga has lost the ability to attack East Valley College. They can only surround the college."
Link was relieved: "That's good, but the Dronga Kingdom has gone too far this time. The fate of our human race is involved in the north. At this time, they stabbed in the back. They should be taught a lesson. !"
Speaking of the latter, Link's voice had become icy cold, and everyone in the hall suddenly felt a great depression in their hearts, as if they were out of breath, and their expressions were different.
Link was taken aback, knowing that he had leaked his killing intent, he immediately restrained himself, and the people around him breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts were filled with horror.
Sure enough, he is a legendary powerhouse. This kind of power is really terrifying!
Regarding military matters, the commander Yake is in charge.
Yake is now a warrior at the peak of level 6. He is wearing heavy anti-magic armor and there are many scratches on the armor. He reported the situation: "My lord, our army is currently confronting Delonga at the border of Field. Weak, able to maintain a confrontational situation, Colonel Celine deserves the most credit, she and Doras are now the gods of death in the Gwent forest!"
It can be said that Celine completely relied on her own strength to overwhelm her opponents. Numerous officers of Delonga were killed, and the entire army was almost in a semi-paralyzed state.
Because of this, Field's newly formed army was able to hold off Delonga's army.
Link nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Well, I'll go to the front line now."
He wanted to see Celine now.
"I'll take you there!" Felena stood up and said, "Anyway, I'm fine."
She has small injuries all over her body, and they are all on the dragon. Now that she changes form, these injuries will disappear.
"No, no, I should be the one to deliver it. My airship is very fast!" Lanny also jumped up.
"Okay, Lanny, you can stay here. I need you and Manager Lucy to report about the Job people. We have to prepare to welcome your people, don't we?"
"Ah... that's fine." Lanny hesitated.
Link was about to set off. After he stood up, he suddenly remembered something again. He said, "Your Majesty, that lich?"
King Ryan was startled, and then said: "He said his name is Waynes, he passed by, he saved me, and he has a kind disposition, although he is a lich, but I gave him the right to pardon, now he should be in a certain place in Field Somewhere in the middle of nowhere. What, is there a problem with him?"
Glenn Xi also said: "I've seen him, I don't know how to describe this lich, but he shouldn't pose any threat to us."
Of course there is no threat. Link knows Wayans very well. Since he found this opportunity to be accepted, it is naturally the best. He took advantage of the situation and said: "I don't know for sure. Just go and meet him."
Glenn tin nodded: "That would be great."
After finishing speaking, he said to Ferrena: "Let's go."
The two walked towards the roof on the top floor of the magic tower. After a while, Link and Felina flew straight towards the western border of Field amidst the sound of dragon chants.
Everyone in the hall watched the red dragon fly away until he could no longer see his back. Master Glennxi couldn't help sighing: "The young strong man has reached the pinnacle, and a new era has begun."
After a lapse of 300 years, the human race once again possessed a legendary powerhouse who dominates the continent.
This era is full of disasters and disasters, but it is also the best era for the rise of the human race!
The hall was quiet, everyone had different thoughts and didn't speak.
After a long time, Lucy said: "Okay, it's time for us to get things done, little one, let's talk about the Job people?"
"Don't tell me I'm not small, my name is Lanny!" Lanny raised her eyebrows, her hands on her hips, like a little bean about to explode.
This appearance had no deterrent effect at all, and the people in the hall burst into laughter, and the atmosphere immediately relaxed. After laughing, Lucy said, "Okay, Lanny, I don't mean anything malicious, it's just...haha, it's just that you are too cute."
Lan Ni became more and more annoyed, but it was useless. In the end, she said dejectedly, "Stop laughing, okay? Let's talk about business."
On the other side, Link sat on Felena's back and began to talk about the specific process of his obtaining dragon power. When Felena flew to the middle of Field's territory, Link roughly finished talking, and he laughed: "So, It's a complete coincidence."
Felena also found it incredible, and was stunned for a long time. She said: "I think the Queen will be very happy when she hears the news. We have another powerful member of the Dragon Clan. Maybe she will make you a Duke."
"... Isn't that necessary?" Link was surprised. As far as he knew, the Duke of the Red Dragon had a special meaning. He was the Queen's candidate for her husband. If he accepted it, he would be in trouble.
Seeing Link's expression, Felina immediately understood what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Think about it, this is just a noble title of our clan, which is only applicable within the dragon clan. In the mortal world, you are still Lord Field, It won't have any effect."
"Oh, then I don't care."
After flying for a while, the frontier reached the Field border. Link saw the war fortress, and he also saw an army marching out of the forest. The uniforms of the army members were also Field style.
Among them was a woman, riding a big blue tiger with a big musket on her back, walking majestically at the front of the team.
This woman has short dark purple hair, black eyes, and a dark green leather armor. She is none other than Celine.
