Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 272: Opening up Gemir
"Your Excellency Ingwill." Olwens first glanced at Claiwell who was having a serious meal next to him, then pretended to look casually at the man opposite who was feasting on his meal, and carefully probed, "Between you and Lord Oleg. Is there any misunderstanding?"

"Olvens, when His Royal Highness Lucia went to Rodel three years ago, you were one of the three middle-level knight captains of the Sky City Mission Guards. After the Karen Incident, the former Archon of Karen, Hector O. Furnier was killed in battle, and you left the Guard from that time on, and stayed with him as an aide to Mr. Clavell, the Internal Affairs Officer."

"After His Highness recommended Mr. Clavell to His Majesty Malika as Baron Karen and Consul, you were naturally promoted to the position of Internal Affairs Officer. But in fact, like the girl named Anasia, you are His Highness's main force One of the two personal guard knight commanders trained, the future leader of the Storm Knights—am I right?”

Ingwill swallowed the roast in his hand in three gulps and wiped the grease on his hands with a napkin. His originally careless eyes suddenly focused on Olwens, as if a sharp sword had penetrated his heart.

"The knight must behave like a knight, look forward and backward, and ask him directly if he has any questions!"

"Yes!"

Olwens seemed to have returned to the days when he was being trained as an apprentice. He subconsciously straightened his body and responded.

He put down the knife and fork in his hand, took a deep breath, and asked in a deep voice: "I heard that the two wings of the Storm King were close friends regardless of life and death. After the fall of the Storm Dynasty, His Excellency Oleg never asked the Golden Dynasty. Open allegiance."

"I just saw you fighting him fiercely, but the two of them kept their hands at the same time. If that's the case, why did you two break up on bad terms?"

The young Storm Knight Commander said in confusion: "After His Highness Lucia was born three years ago, he became the legal sole master of the Ancient Dragon Dynasty and the Storm Survivors. Even though the two Excellencies were hesitant about His Highness, they didn't know whether he was the same person. A worthy object of allegiance, so what now?”

"Now that Fam Azra is employing people, Radagan and the New Golden Party are watching from outside, and there are a few people inside who are just trying to make trouble. Why can't you two put aside your differences and work together to serve His Highness?"

A series of questions were blurted out in rapid succession. Seeing that Ingwell did not speak, Clavell coughed twice, patted Olwens on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Young people are a little impatient, and it is inevitable that they are a little bit impatient." I don’t choose what I say. If there is any offense, please don’t blame me.”

Alvins also felt a little impulsive. He looked at Ingwill's expression of difficulty distinguishing between joy and anger, and silently lowered his head and stopped talking.

It’s not that he is afraid that Ingwill will be angry about this, but that he knows how much help a former Storm King Winged Knight, one of the strongest heroes in the world, can bring to His Highness. Walking away would be a huge sin.

"Have you finished asking?" Ingwill said calmly.

"Well," Olwens nodded numbly, "I'm done."

"In the final analysis, you are asking two questions, and I will answer you respectively."

"On the matter of Oleg, I have the same position as him, but we have different paths. Like General Neo, he believes that only necessary compromises can save the remaining Storm survivors, but I believe that only sufficient power can deter the Golden Dynasty from daring to Act recklessly.”

"This has nothing to do with personal likes and dislikes, and we can't tell who is right or wrong. Even we ourselves can't tell whether it's because I can't bear the shame he shoulders, or because he can't be as free as me. Although we are walking in different on the road, but at least the survivors of the storm who were unwilling to surrender have been preserved until today. This is partly due to their efforts, and maybe some of my hard work is also involved, right?"

"So on the first thing, I can't answer you for him."

Ingwill sighed tiredly, "That man will not break his promise. Since he said he will return to Famu Azra, I believe he will definitely do it - as for when and how, it will be It’s not up to me to decide.”

"The second thing is about me."

He sat back in his chair, showed a smile and said: "I have to admit that since the 46th year of the Golden Calendar, I have indeed been on the sidelines and have been observing His Highness's every move through various channels." In the first year, I saw his forbearance and strength in Decodas, on the shores of Lake Rodel, and at Serant Arena. In the second year, through the military industry all over the royal capital of Rodel and the large-scale development of the Far Eastern Islands, I saw his strategy and skill. From then on, I was convinced that His Highness did have the power to be a king."

"So, even though he has done more earth-shattering things this year, they are no longer what I really care about."

Clavier was startled when he heard this. The conversation had gone far beyond his initial expectations. The former Storm King Wing didn't seem to need his persuasion at all.

All the efforts His Highness has put in over the past three years have not been in vain. Just like their vision back then, to this day, in addition to the first people who followed His Highness, even those who are homeless and homeless still believe in the former child. The dragon will eventually grow into Fam Azra's new king.

Or maybe in the hearts of many people, Lucia Sanks is already worthy of the weight of being crowned.

"So, what is it that you are concerned about?"

"A letter of nomination." Ingwill responded calmly.

Olwens suddenly noticed that the steely atmosphere around him was swept away at this moment, replaced by the unruly and fun feeling when he met Oleg's weapon just now.

"The surrender of a defeated general is insignificant. Since I am determined to be loyal to His Highness, I have to produce a commendable achievement, so I have been pursuing it for a whole year -" Ingwill said, "In one year, I saw the three most difficult issues before His Highness.”

"The first is the talent reserve gap in the East China Sea Islands, the second is the corruption curse on Princess Marlenia, and the third is the development and management of the Karen and Gemir regions."

He sighed softly and said: "I feel ashamed to say that the first thing can only be entrusted to the training of Priest Lance over the years. The second thing can only be solved by the cooperation of His Highness Lucia and Prince Michaela." , all I can solve is the third thing.”

Clavier and Olwens looked at each other, each seeing the shock and excitement in the other's eyes.

It is true that the strategic and in-depth planning of Karen and the entire Gmir region is directly related to the military balance among the three dynasties in the next twenty years. The idea of ​​​​entering North Gmir is by no means a temporary decision made by Claiwell himself. It is a development direction determined by multiple communications with Lucia in the past two years, but the specific time for the implementation of the plan has not been determined.

This time Clayville decided to launch the development plan next year. In fact, it was a helpless move due to the saturation of Karen's population. There was still a large alien population in Nangmir that needed to be digested. However, Karen City itself could no longer bear it. , had to develop to Nangmir itself.

However, Beigemir, which is only separated from the Nangemir area by a boiling river, is full of heretics and fierce bandits. If the harassment of Beigemir cannot be isolated, even if Nangemir can be managed reluctantly, Facing the military pressure of the Golden Dynasty in the future, the possibility of fire in the rear will also greatly increase. By then, the strategic significance of the Karen Defense Line will completely cease to exist.

Under the combined influence of many factors, the plan to open up Nangmir and enter Beigmir is inevitable. Clavier's painstaking efforts in the past three years have also accumulated enough comprehensive strength for Karen. The only thing standing in front of him is The difficulty lies in the lack of a pioneering commander who can take charge of his own affairs.

Clavier's own strength is slightly lacking, and Olwens has to shoulder the responsibility of Karen's defense. His Royal Highness's own talent reserve is stretched thin, and many capable officers such as Aegakis, Anasia, and Christopher are unable to escape. mission, it is even less possible to spare manpower to take over this matter.

But now the arrival of Knight Ingwell has completely completed the last piece of the puzzle of this plan.

"Excuse me, Your Excellency, do you already have a specific plan in mind to open up Gemel?"
