You and me under the world tree

But now, what Hodder cares about is not the craftsmanship of the ring, but its internal condition.

Laurin the dwarf had succumbed to the gods' coercion anyway.

Under such circumstances, it is hard to say that the weapons on his body do not have traces of the gods, not to mention that Dietrich has not been to the garden for several years after setting up the tombstone for him.

This long window period must also be taken seriously.

He was going to examine the ring carefully to make sure there were no other signs of it.

Because he was going to return Laurin's ring to Alberich.

Now, apart from the former Second Prince Gnitahead, no one is qualified enough to keep this ring.

"Where is the token of revenge..."

Closing his eyes at this point, Hodder thought of many things for a while.

But before he could think about anything, there was a carefree voice outside the door.

"Hod! The little king has something to send over."

"What is it?"

"It's still about Gothic. It seems that the man named Walter was assassinated."

"do you died?"

"No."

Between words, Huo De took the letter, and then flipped through it.

"But the letter says they seem to have found the source of the assassination."

"Well, nothing to worry about."

Just looking at it casually, Huo De raised his head.

"Are these things still useful?"

"It's useless, the messenger said it was just delivered."

"Ah."

Hodder then threw these things into the fireplace and burned them up.

"You don't need to pay too much attention to this kind of thing, anyway, 80% of it is fake."

"Huh? Why?"

"Wittig's own magic level is still good, not to mention retrieving the memory of the dead, even if he really found a few words, it doesn't have to be so vague. To put it bluntly, they didn't want to figure out this kind of thing from the beginning."

"Oh……"

"For them, there are only two important things. One: Walter was appointed as the lord, and two: he suffered a dangerous assassination. That's all that matters."

Then Hodder closed his eyes.

He moved into a more comfortable position on the sofa.

"Its source is not important. It may really be the people of Grimes, but it may also be Elmrich, and it may even be directed and acted by them. As for the result, we will see it soon."

After hearing what the sage said, Hela narrowed her eyes.

"You mean, they want a reason to get involved."

"What else can I do? In two days, there should be news of the Frontier Corps' intervention."

Three days later, Ravenna issued a decree from the regent:

Frontier Corps reorganizes.

Chapter 39: Movement, Preparation

Legion reorganization.

It's normal for this kind of thing to be placed in a place like Goth's eastern defense line.

But that was a long time ago.

Because when the Gothic Kingdom was still intact, the garrison in that place except for the local personnel, the other members have not been stable.

It has been like this since ancient times.

For every Gothic lord, they have an obligation to contribute to the protection of the eastern defense line.

Because for the Gothic Kingdom, which is the center of Midgard, the stability of the eastern defense means the stability of the kingdom.

No one hopes that there will be a large number of monsters in their territory-just like the eastern plains that cannot be completely stabilized.

In the beginning, all the lords, including the king, came out together, and even sat in the town in person.

And after ensuring safety, coupled with the slow passage of time, that place became a training ground.

How to ensure that the fighters under him are polished at the actual combat level?

It's very simple, just keep the frontier regiment's establishment stuffed into the eastern defense line while ensuring a small establishment.

Because the monsters have been roaming the eastern plains, and they will attack the defense line during the breeding season, so there is never a lack of actual combat.

And after two or three years of training in that place, a team of recruits can become a seasoned fighter.

Not to mention how good the opponents are, but at least they have seen blood and encountered crises.

So combat literacy is fully guaranteed.

Over time, this has become the tradition of the ancient Gothic kingdom.

Due to the special existence of the eastern defense line, it was difficult for the Gothic Kingdom to be completely divided from the moment it was established.

Because there is no lord or king who can carry the entire eastern defense alone.

So even consider this factor before considering full independence.

If the kingdom is strong, the entire line of defense will become stronger.

And once a split occurs, or even leads to irreversible decline of the kingdom and territory, the problem will only get worse.

This vortex of chaos is only getting bigger.

And now is such a situation.

Because of completely different reasons from before, the stability of the eastern defense line is already the limit.

Facing the covetous eyes of Hungary and Lan, it is impossible for the frontier army to reorganize at will.

Because once the blood is exchanged, the combat effectiveness of the legion is bound to decline within a certain period of time.

You must know that it is already the autumn harvest season, and now is the best time to launch a small-scale struggle when the winter has not fully entered and the grain is stored.

Hungary has the opportunity and the ability to fight over.

Regardless of failure or not, they at least have the potential to support a war that is not long.

But Goth...or Elmrich is different.

The Frontier Corps managed to repel the Hungarians with great difficulty, which to some extent also explains their combat effectiveness.

And stuck at this juncture to rectify, reorganize, and replenish fresh blood.

"If Hungary launches another all-out charge, then the eastern defense line may be defeated."

After receiving such information, Weapon Master Hiltebrand couldn't help but frown.

"It's totally unreasonable."

And once the eastern defense line is washed out, then everything will turn bad.

At least that's how it seemed to Hiltebrand himself.

Therefore, his expression has always been extremely dignified.

In the entire 0 study room, his voice was particularly loud.

"Could it be that that bastard Elmrich has nowhere to go?"

It may be because Hiltebrand's emotions seemed a little too excited, which caused another person in the study to slowly open his eyes.

Princess Dietrich.

The real power of today's Godsend City.

She didn't answer immediately, but raised her head and stared at the gray-haired weapon master.

Hiltebrand has always shown a mature and steady demeanor.

But now, once Elmrich was involved, his emotions would become a little unstable.

Maybe his rich experience will make his brain maintain an unimaginable sobriety.

But Dietrich's own unique perception could sense his ups and downs.

And this already belongs to the grievances of the previous generation.

To be honest, as a new generation of young people.

She also didn't fully understand the previous generation.

And now, that is, only when he shows this kind of emotional hatred, can she experience the thickness of that friendship a little bit.

The originally rational warrior has gradually become a little emotional now.

Even, he began to forget some things he knew before.

Thinking of this, Her Royal Highness could not help but sigh.

"Hilter."

she whispered.

"You forgot one thing."

She watched the weapon master.

At this moment, he also turned around.

What caught the eyes of the princess was the face that had gradually aged.

"It's not that there is no way out, he has no other choice from the beginning."

Staring at such a face, Dietrich said in a low voice.

"In fact, even the current Frontier Corps looks like nothing more than an inflated balloon, still vulnerable."

As for this point, Hiltebrand naturally couldn't refute it.

After all, now, everyone knows what kind of state the Excalibur Warrior was like.

And even some time ago, he deliberately concealed his state.

But when he formally clashed with those silent nobles above the court, these people also knew about his status.

The Frontier Corps repelled the Hungarians?

Perhaps in the past, this kind of thing can be brought out to blow.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that it does not stand up to scrutiny at all.

Why did Hungary withdraw its troops?

That's because their ruler, King Etzel of Hungary, and Wittig, the commander of the Frontier Legion, set a decisive duel.

And Wittig eventually won.

Sounds romantic and heroic?

But that was achieved only when Wittig, the leader of the top combat force, completely lost his combat effectiveness.

The half-breed elf warrior managed to repel the so-called invincible King of Punishment and the Lord of Hunland at the cost of ruining his own path as a warrior.

In contrast, the King of Hunlan did not show any abnormalities.

He was even able to transfer directly to Denmark to play the autumn wind for a while, and then seriously injured the dragon blood warrior Studus in the frontal battle.

"So no matter what, the current frontier legion is no longer able to support it. As long as Etzel is willing, he can break through that line of defense at any time."

Having said that, Dietrich couldn't help but pause for a moment.
