You and me under the world tree

"Their position determines the will of the gods, and the gods rule the world."

At this moment, Dietrich didn't speak, and his scarlet eyes under the helmet just stared at the 'First Warrior' under his command.

He has a strong martial arts: this is true.

It is also true that he has excellent swords and weapons.

However, he seems to care more about the attitude of the gods than thinking about himself, which is unavoidable.

And after His Royal Highness's pitch-black horned helmet shook slightly, the great hero Hiltebrand standing behind him like a guard suddenly took a step forward.

"His Royal Highness wants to hear your opinions, and simply discuss the move of the descendant of Volsung."

Hiltebrand is a well-known hero in Gothic territory. Holding the "invincible magic sword Alíus" in his hand, he made countless great achievements when he was young.

But now, in this Bei'an city, he is the spokesperson of the prince.

It is worth mentioning that he and Studus are still relatives. In theory, Hiltebrand, who is also from Gitland, should be Studus' uncle.

In fact, it was precisely because Hiltebrand was here that Studus was able to stay with peace of mind and lived in this foreign country for more than two years.

And when the highly respected him spoke, even Prince Dietrich had to back down a bit.

Not because of anything else, just because he is a good teacher and helpful friend of His Royal Highness.

"Then I won't show my ugliness."

At this moment, Wittiger, the son of the elf blacksmith Wieland, simply shut his mouth.

He has a father who is a blacksmith, that's right, and he has a mother who is a princess, that's also true.

But the problem is that he himself did not ask his mother about this matter, and he did not even intend to inherit his father's ancestral craftsmanship.

Since childhood, he has been wielding swords and swords, dreaming of becoming a hero, he is just a warrior.

After all, he relied on his martial arts and the weapon bestowed by his father to secure his position as the 'No. [-] Warrior' under Dietrich.

After all, a warrior is just a warrior. Although he has his own territory, he usually leaves it to other people to take care of it.

"forget it."

And at the moment when the warriors were thinking, His Royal Highness finally shook his head.

"I summoned you here to issue orders."

As a prince, he has great rights after all. Although he will not be able to pass through the whole country, he can be unimpeded in his own territory.

Even, the same prestige is here.

As the 'Prince of Victory' of the Gothic Kingdom, no one can question his prestige.

Therefore, when he spoke, everyone sat up straight involuntarily.

They are all waiting for the order of the prince...

Chapter No.17: The Prince's Order

The Twelve Gothic Warriors...

Now there are 12 people gathered under the prince's command, most of them are excellent fighters selected from the kingdom or even the prince himself from the army.

However, there are also people from other kingdoms who work under him for various reasons.

Studus slaying the dragon Herme

Wittiger holding the Excalibur Mimonger

Young Wolfheart Wolfheart

undefeated hero hiltebrand

There are other fighters mentioned above, who either possess excellent martial arts or have made achievements in intelligence.

They have their own territory in the land adjacent to the Netherlands owned by His Highness the Prince. Although it is smaller, it is indeed a lord.

Even in it, Wittig excluded the prince's fiefdom, because he also had contact with the current Gothic king Dietmar, and therefore, he also owned other lands besides this.

And the reason why the prince would recall these scattered warriors at this point in time is also very simple.

"Without my order, you must not participate in the internal struggle of the Netherlands during this period, and no one is allowed to take the initiative to invade the land of the Netherlands."

When he said this, the prince even turned his gaze to the soldier sitting first on the left.

Herme Stodtas...

"Especially you, Studus, don't take advantage of it."

For a king or leader, good words from his subordinates are gratifying.

But at the same time, it would be a pain in the ass to have underlings who are good and full of personality at the same time.

And obviously, Studus is such a person.

Although he is Hiltebrand's nephew, unlike the stable and undefeated hero, the young and energetic Studus can always make some astonishing moves.

This is true in reality, and it is also true on the battlefield.

In the previous conflict with some lords of the Burgundy Kingdom, he even dared to disobey orders on the spot, and single-handedly rushed into other people's territories and then raided the royal city all the way.

This kind of lonely hero's appearance is not impossible to imitate, but the important thing is that he doesn't obey orders very much.

At least, if Dietrich himself hadn't directed it himself, he would have gone his own way.

It was for this reason that Dietrich had to warn him on this point.

"Ah... okay."

After hearing the stern warning from His Royal Highness, Studus couldn't help but sigh.

However, Dietrich did not just know him now.

Seeing him like this, His Royal Highness knew that he must have gone in one ear and out the other.

After all, no matter how you say it, Studas's own territory itself is not to be mentioned, and more importantly, the relationship between the Netherlands and the Gothic Kingdom is not so easy to 'improve'.

Although, as Wittig said, the Valkyrie has not expressed her position until now.

Judging from the attitude of the gods alone, the outcome of this match is not so easy to determine.

However, considering the interests alone, one is the Hengding clan who are easy to extract, and the other is the descendants of Volsong who seem to be difficult to deal with and hold the Holy Sword of God's Wrath.

Who is better for the Goths to rule the Netherlands?

This is obvious.

What if Studas twitched his head and ran directly along the Rhine River to hit the current Rhine Ferry?

So in the end, Dietrich, who pondered for a moment, changed his decision.

"Forget it, Studus, you stay in Beian City, anyway, you never deal with the government affairs in your territory."

Prince Dietrich's control over his own land can be said to be quite strong.

Although the warriors under his command have the title of lord, in the end they only enjoy the offerings in the territory, and the government affairs are still controlled by the civil servants under the prince's command.

"alright."

At first, Studus obviously wanted to refute a few words, but at this moment, he saw that the horned helmet moved slightly.

Is His Royal Highness shaking his head?

Although there was no way to see his expression, Studus clearly noticed that His Royal Highness should have something else to say to him.

So, he fell silent.

"alright."

Although Studus is usually known for his fiery temper, when facing His Royal Highness, who has a cold personality, he can't get angry at all.

He couldn't beat him, and he was the immediate boss of himself and his uncle, so he could only eat it by himself.

But at the moment when he behaved like this, the number one warrior next to him couldn't help laughing.

But before Wittig could laugh to himself, Dietrich glanced at him again.

"You too, Wittig. Although I don't trust Studus, you are the same. During this critical period, don't think about running to fight Siegfried."

Then Wittig's smile disappeared.

"Oh……"

At this moment, he can only respond in this way.

In fact, he did have such an idea.

Because compared to Studas, who pursued strength and honed his own martial arts, his purpose was very traditional.

Studus didn't care about his reputation, as long as he was strong enough, that's why he, who worshiped strength, would immediately offer his loyalty to the prince after Dietrich defeated him.

But Wittig is different...

What he pursues is fame and the title of a hero. He doesn't like living a secluded life like his parents', so he goes out to make a living.

He is eager to be famous in the entire atrium, and even strives to be the "first warrior" of the entire Midgard.

If Studus wants to fight, he wants to confirm his own strength, then Wittig's challenge is to completely defeat the opponent.

The young man wanted to challenge him precisely because he knew that there was a "Prince of Victory" in the Gothic Kingdom and killed the giant warrior Ike who had threatened his father.

And when he rushed to challenge Dietrich with his Excalibur, hoping to step on him to make himself famous, he encountered a hard problem.

Ordinary weapons and equal weapons, he was suppressed and beaten, but when he got back his divine sword Mimonger, he smashed his refracting helmet.

On the bright side, of course he won, but only he himself knows the result.

Therefore, he became the number one warrior under his command - relying on the divine sword in his hand.

He doesn't talk about ambitions like this, but when he meets the only remaining descendant of the legendary Volsung family, it is inevitable to want to turn the other party into his own "record".

However, he is obviously different from the hot-tempered Studus.

Studus did his own thing, but he has always been strict with himself.

"You are no longer the unscrupulous adventurer you used to be. Your every move represents Goth, so until the civil war in the Netherlands is over, don't have any conflicts with him."

"I understand."

Compared to Studus' casual attitude, Wittig just nodded slowly.

He was courteous and had good character in his every move.

"Wait a minute! Why doesn't he have to stay!"

Just when Wittig was the first to walk out of the hall of the conference hall, Studus couldn't help but shouted loudly.

"Because he...is more reassuring, at least in terms of character."

The next moment, the laughter of the warriors sounded one after another.

After all, they all knew how hot-tempered Studus was.

And amidst the innocent smiles of his colleagues, the warrior named after the dragon couldn't help but blushed.

"Obviously I have made the most achievements, okay? Isn't I reassuring?"

Then, under Studus's defense, the warriors laughed even louder.

Chapter 18: The Whetstone!

Studus is indeed a bit fiery in terms of personality, but he has a little delicateness anyway.

so far...

In fact, he has always had a scale in his heart, no matter how foolish he is, even if he looks like he will never obey orders and looks like a thorn in his head, he still knows the severity.

In fact, as long as you have enough understanding of Studus, you will know that he is not the kind of person who will still mess around at critical moments.

And obviously Dietrich and the undefeated hero Hiltebrand are the kind of people who know him.

In other words, he doesn't need to be so exaggerated at all, he just needs to seriously warn about it.

And Studas himself is clear about this.

He doesn't think he's a wise man, and he can't do anything to strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away.
