Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 145 Dragon and Tree

Sixty kilometers southwest of Rodel, the town of Lent.

This small town with a population of less than [-] is in an unprecedented busyness. The endless marching tents cover the empty fields outside the town. The men push the heavy wheelbarrows, bringing countless bread, fine wine, dried meat and candied fruit Transported from the warehouse to the military camp, and returned to the town full of damaged and dirty clothes and bandages in the camp, waiting for his wife and daughter to wash them clean before returning them.

Rewarding an army of tens of thousands of people with the power of a mere village and town is no easy task. However, the faces of the residents who came and went could not see any seriousness, but most of them were filled with pride and excitement.

There is no other reason for all this - it is just because the army outside the town is the most prestigious blazing sun army of the Golden Dynasty, the pro-army under the command of the Golden Prince Godwin, and it is also undoubtedly the most powerful army in the entire continent.

As we all know, "Golden" Godwin is extremely strict in governing the army, but he is also extremely kind and gentle to the people under his rule. Therefore, he will strictly enforce military discipline wherever he goes to avoid any disturbance to the people.Over the years, the Blazing Sun Legion has never even had a war horse accidentally step on a farmland, and the burning, killing and looting that usually accompany other armies is even more insulated from it.

Especially when the expected next King Elden is in the army at this moment, and is returning to the capital with a brilliant victory to calm down the southern border, receiving such an army is even more a kind of experience for the people of Lent. An unattainable honor.

It was late in the evening, and Godwin was reviewing the documents on the follow-up matters related to appeasing the people in the Southern Territory in the tent of the commander in the center of the military camp. Done."

"The Ministry of Military Supplies allocated a total of [-] runes to the local town association, and donated [-] animal skins obtained during the southern border. The distribution was supervised by two knights whose native place was in Lent Town. The rewards and supplies will be delivered to every household by tomorrow morning.”

"Besides, the Seventh Army has also swept away wandering beasts in accordance with the usual practice during daily training, so as to prevent them from turning their targets to villages and towns when there is a lack of prey in winter."

"Very good." Godwin put down the quill in his hand, thought for a while, and asked, "Is there no baron in the town association. Lunt now?"

"You may not remember that the Lord of Lent is Baron Hector of the Ofnir family. The baron served as the consul in Karen City before. Unfortunately, he died in a battle to suppress the demi-human rebellion in July this year." the clerk replied.

"Lent Town is still legally the territory of the Offnell family, but because Baron Hector has no direct heir, several relatives with collateral inheritance rights are arguing endlessly over this matter, and there is no result yet."

Godwin frowned slightly after hearing this, "A noble territory adjacent to the royal capital has not been determined for half a year in terms of inheritance. Is this how the Marquis of Osarion manages his family?"

Having said that, he seemed to realize something, and didn't say any more, but shook his head helplessly, and said, "Okay, Hyde, you've worked hard all day, go down and rest first."

"Yes." The clerk named Kailan Hyde bowed deeply, turned and exited the account.

After a while, the curtain of the big tent was blown open by a gust of wind, and a phantom wrapped in red lightning flashed in, rushing towards the direction of the reception sofa.

Godwin stretched out his hand to straighten his blond hair that was blown by the wind, and then tidied up the pile of documents lying on the desk before he sighed wearily, and said, "Furr——I don't expect you to learn to be safe and secure." Steady in, but at least, I mean at least, it's not that hard to learn to take off your snow and muddy boots before you get on the couch, is it?"

"Otherwise, it's hard for me to imagine what it would be like for you to meet His Royal Highness Lucia from Sky City. If His Excellency Lance happens to be on the scene at that time, you will probably be accused of 'disrespect before the king' He was beaten up and then lay in bed for half a year."

"It's too exaggerated." For Sanks, who turned into a human form, curled his lips, "Lucia is just a child, and maybe I will teach him ancient dragon combat skills after returning home. And don't dislike my boots, if I hadn't hunted down seven rune bears for your clumsy men just now, I wouldn't be tossing like this!"

When he said these words, Furshanks was indeed lying sprawled on the sofa just as Godwin said. Just looking at his appearance, compared to his godlike and perfect best friend, the ancient dragon priest who was [-] years old at the time Looks like a rough and idle young punk.

He has short black hair that is as thick as barbed wire, and a short beard that is as sharp as a steel needle all over his chin. A thick buffalo leather boot, the sole of which was covered with a mixture of melted black slush, was dangling to the side of the sofa and the floor under Godwin's unbearable gaze.

Godwin took a deep breath, and rubbed his twitching temples to force himself to lower his head and continue working. If he continued to look at it like this, he was afraid that the second battle of Nagarjuna would break out again in this tent.

"Before I came in, I heard what you said about Lunt Town. I think you must have lost your head too busy. Osarion and Rowans are now working hard to let the Offnell family occupy the position of guarding the northern border. , how can there be such a cornerless thing as Empty Control Lent?" Furshanks smiled mockingly, "After all, they are still busy with your golden nobles' favorite faction, aren't they?"

"No," Godwin's quill pen, which was reviewing documents, paused, without turning his head, "at least I don't like party disputes. Those narrow plots and calculations will only continue to erode the foundation of the country and order. When this erosion accumulates To a certain extent, the resulting collapse and overthrow will destroy all the people who were originally under the law, and no one can benefit from it, and it is even more impossible to be alone."

"But I believe these are avoidable - isn't everything we're doing now precisely to prevent things from going to that kind of broken future?"

Fur Sanks was silent for a moment, then shrugged and said, "That's right, but the bad news is that there are very few golden nobles who think like you, let alone that His Majesty sitting on the throne is exactly the one you often The leader of the so-called 'narrow'."

"And the good news is that in the near future, you'll have at least one chance to take your place and live up to your promise to the world."
