You and me under the world tree

He immediately swore allegiance to the Highness of the Heaven-given City, and immediately sent troops to the border.

And the banner he played was quite resounding: to demand an explanation for the partners and compatriots who had died.

And the allegiance he expressed was also recognized by the one in the city of heaven.

In the end, the storm under Elmrich intensified and the voice of the people became unstoppable.

Under the impetus of some secrets, the voices of the people gradually converged into one.

"We need Her Royal Highness."

"There can only be one King of the Goths."

"Her Royal Highness, please be crowned king."

Such voices kept coming and going, and it was even said that the Book of Manmin had been sent from Elmrich's territory to Be'an, the city of heaven, via the Grimes region.

For this reason, the Gothic Kingdom launched a mighty campaign to maintain the orthodox kingship centered on King Dietmar.

Because this is the bloody fact.

Dietrich has already proved with her record that she is the most suitable person.

Except for her, no one can afford the eagle and crown of the Amerongen family.

However, the problem is that this is nothing more than the voice of the people.

The Highness of Bei'an City has not expressed his attitude towards this until now.

After all, no one knows what his attitude is.

And after nearly half a month, when even the eastern defense line entered a state of rest, that His Highness made his own voice.

"I reject."

After returning the so-called Book of Peoples under Elmrich, Her Royal Highness expressed her opinion.

"Since Elmrich said he was fighting for freedom, why would I do such a thankless thing."

It is said that in front of her cronies, Her Royal Highness the princess with white hair and red eyes said so.

Her voice is said to be full of mockery and hoarseness.

"I'm just a tyrant in their eyes, an evil blood 'created' by King Dittmar. I'm not a real hero, let alone the real king of Goths. I sincerely pray that Elmrich can Bring them a better life."

Chapter 86: The sole beneficiary

Such a crisp negation and refusal from His Royal Highness in the City of Heaven's Gift brought the turmoil in the entire kingdom to a higher level.

Almost anything.

Some accused those betrayers of making Her Royal Highness lose confidence.

Some also accused Elmrich of launching a coup for his own selfishness and desire for power.

Some even accuse Her Royal Highness Princess Dietrich of being ignorant of good and bad, and don't want the territories and achievements she gave her.

But it is undeniable that those people under Elmrich's rule care about this very much.

No matter what kind of accusation it is, it highlights their impatience and restlessness.

And the more anxious they are, the more they miss the time when Gothic was complete and strong.

So, the second round of requests begins.

As a fragile people, even if they are united, they are not as strong as the army.

They are still not brave enough to overthrow the so-called regent themselves, and they are not brave enough to stand against the heavily armed army.

So I can only implore Her Royal Highness the Princess of the City of Godsend to 'disregard past suspicions'.

In the end, after a series of pushes, the people seemed to have set their sights on one place: the Grimes area.

The lord there is new, and more importantly, he is from the Frontier Legion, who once protected them.

What's more, the flag he originally flew was also related to the frontier regiment that protected the eastern defense line.

Based on this, he became the last hope.

But to be honest, the public doesn't know Walter well.

Although Walter can be considered to have risen in the infancy, before joining the Frontier Corps, he was poor and was only active in his hometown—the small town named Vasgenstein and the surrounding villages.

It is impossible for people in other regions to know him.

In this way, all hopes are pinned on a stranger who has now taken power.

This is actually not a very wise choice.

But they have no way.

What can the people do?

They have no weapons and have never been trained. Even if they are gathered together, they are not as good as soldiers trained in the army.

Unless you have some blood, or some hermit who can teach you.

Otherwise, those so-called adventurers are not as good as the orthodox soldiers from the army from any angle.

For individual prowess cannot compare with a well-trained legion without any foreign instrument to assist in identifying with those in the sky.

No high-ranking person can deny those warriors hidden in the world at will.

However, there are a few warriors here and there plus some civilians who have never had formal training.

They can't make waves by themselves.

More importantly, people are afraid of death.

Even warriors fear the end called 'death'.

Let alone those ordinary civilians.

Because of this, Walter, who was born as a civilian, was advertised as the spokesperson of the common people at some point.

The so-called Wanmin Book with various signatures and fingerprints all over it, but with beautiful handwriting was finally sent to him.

And now it's on Lord Walter's desk.

And he himself is moaning now.

"call."

After drinking a glass of iced fruit wine that was enough to calm his mind, his mood did not improve.

Even on the contrary, his inner anxiety is gradually becoming serious.

But luckily he still has a friend to confide in.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but set his sights on Irmin.

It has been almost two months since the eastern border was completely calmed down.

The time is gradually turning towards winter.

And Ilmin also came back from the eastern side of the defense with nothing to do.

The reason is also very simple, because there is no need for him over there.

After helping to settle all possible rebellions in the Grimes area, the Dragonfire Legion of Studus rushed to the eastern defense line without stopping.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the dragon blood warrior was going to take over the eastern defense line.

As for Altwin, he returned to his garrison with the legion.

In order to show his trust, Ilmin took the Grimes area, which is the vanguard army under Walter, back to this land from there.

And now, he is acting as the right-hand man of the new lord.

But to be honest, the so-called left and right hands just sound nicer.

His daily job is to stay here to eat melons and fruits, watching His Royal Highness, the lord whom he is loyal to, being annoyed by government affairs every day.

Previously, the regime in the Grimes region was directly uprooted by Altwin's legion.

As Studus said, they're really just cleaning up.

And the rest of the mess was handed over to Walter himself.

It is true that the power has been obtained, and there are no hidden dangers.

However, he also had to start building his team again.

And before that grass-roots team was fully set up, all the burdens in the territory fell on him.

Fortunately, he is used to it now.

And after dealing with the messy things that were shared today, he couldn't help but sigh.

"To be honest, I suddenly feel a little... don't know what to say."

"What you said is nonsense."

After hearing Walter's emotion, Ilmin raised his head and said.

"No, I just feel weird."

After hearing Ilmin's merciless complaint, Walter was not angry either.

At this moment, instead, he just reached out and scratched his head.

"I just feel pissed off."

Facing Irmin's strange gaze, he couldn't help but sighed.

"Maybe it's hard for you to understand this kind of thing?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or the lie?"

Seeing Walter's confused expression, Irmin just asked.

"What about lies?"

"I don't know, but I think you should relax and just do what you want, and don't let yourself regret it."

Irmin said so dryly.

And Walter himself was disgusted when he heard those words.

"Isn't it the same as not saying what you said? This kind of unrealistic comfort should be left to those children."

Ilmin wasn't angry either, he just shrugged.

"So I said, these are just lies, deceiving people."

Not practical at all.

"Then what's the truth?"

Walter asked.

"Truth? Don't you know what I'm going to say?"

Irmin didn't answer anything at the first time, but just threw out such a sentence.

He didn't look at his friend either, instead he took a piece of melon and continued to eat it.

"My words are nothing more than that."

"..."

Walter then remained silent about it.

When things got to this point, how could he not guess what Irmin would say.

But before he could sigh, Irmin seemed to have changed his mind.

After gnawing off the melon in his hand, he said bluntly:

"You just feel uneasy, and the so-called anger in your heart is directed at yourself."

That is to say...

"You hate yourself because you're the only one who benefits when everyone else suffers."

The sound echoed like a bell, setting off a stormy sea in his brain.
