You and me under the world tree

As a father, and even more so as a person who has experienced it, he certainly does not hope that his successor will be enemies on all sides.

The reason why the king did not show up and let the prince replace the envoy was even simpler.

Fame, reputation, and even let him take this opportunity to get in touch with some important figures in the surrounding kingdoms.

Not to mention giving him ample choice, His Majesty the King even sent out his cronies.

Thinking of this, the undefeated brave man cast his eyes on the man on the far side.

Among a group of warriors, the man in a black robe: Sifka the Counselor.

Because he is young and is said to be good at magic, the current King Dietmar trusts him, and even has the idea of ​​asking him to be the leader of the court.

Is this because there is no one in the court?

No, it was actually because he was young and seemed to have no roots at court.

In fact, until now, Sifka has never had any power of his own.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Sifka is the counselor left by the old king to his children.

But at this moment, Hiltebrand felt something was wrong.

Because he has been following Prince Dietrich, during the time when His Royal Highness had conflicts with the king, at most he had exchanged letters with the king, and reported some recent situations of the prince to the king, so that the old man Father can feel at ease.

Therefore, he didn't know much about the counselor Sivka that the king had recruited in recent years.

Moreover, to be precise, this should be the first time he met this counselor.

However, just at the first glance, Hiltebrand instinctively felt that he should not like him.

For some reason, he could always sense a gloom from that young counselor, but he didn't know where it came from.

"Look, everyone! The King City of Volsung is just ahead!"

Just when Hiltebrand began to think secretly, Studus rang again.

Compared with the previous tricks, Studus's words really attracted everyone's attention.

Meanwhile, the victorious prince of the Goths, conqueror of giants, raised his head.

In the sun, his ram-like helmet reflected the color of metal.

Under the helmet, the uncomfortable sight that seemed to be soaked in blood was directly cast into the distance.

There, the ancient and magnificent City of Sky's Wrath stands there.

On the city wall, the wolf flag symbolizing the Volsung clan was flying, declaring the pride of the Volsung clan.

From a distance, the ancient but brand new city looks like a huge fortress.

"This is... the royal city of Volsung?" Looking at the city, His Royal Highness subconsciously felt a little strange.

Chapter 97: What to do the first time?

The majestic city stands there.

Facing the ancient city inherited from the era of the demigod Xiji and the Irfin tribe, the prince couldn't help asking the question that seemed to come from the depths of his soul:

"This is... the royal city of Volsung?"

And the moment his voice came out, the soldiers under his command and the counselor Sifka couldn't help turning their heads.

In this regard, their faces could not help showing a hint of hesitation.

Most of the fighters under the prince's command who constitute the group of 'Twelve Warriors' have never really been to the Netherlands.

Because whether it is the first warrior Wittig or the dragon slayer Studas, they all joined the Gothic Kingdom and the prince's power as outsiders.

At that time, Gothic had already signed an armistice agreement with the Netherlands, and even obtained the border territories of the Netherlands including the Jura Mountains.

At that time, the Netherlands itself was already leaning towards weakness, and those warriors who yearned for fame and followed the Ming Lord naturally would not follow the original Hengding family.

After all, that is a character who can directly push out and behead someone who has worked hard and made great achievements just because of a treaty.

Who is willing to follow such a ruthless king?

So under such circumstances, Wittig and Studas would not come to the Netherlands anyway.

But in fact, it is precisely because they have never been to the Netherlands that they are very interested in the matter of representing the Gothic Kingdom to the Netherlands.

And here, apart from His Royal Highness who once attacked the Netherlands, and even fought all the way below the king's city, the only person who is qualified to express his views on this is the undefeated brave man.

After all, he is the teacher of His Royal Highness, and the brave man has been following him when he went to war and expanded the territory of the Gothic Kingdom.

So at this moment, Hiltebrand coughed lightly:

"Your Highness," he whispered

But at this time, the heirs of the Gothic Kingdom have now focused their attention on the magnificent city in front of them.

He ignored the call of the elder who was also a teacher and friend, as if he was completely attracted by the city.

At this moment, Hiltebrand couldn't help but sigh.

It is obviously unrealistic to expect the current prince to personally explain to his subordinates and his father to his counselors about the City of Wrath of Sky.

Therefore, the brave man at this moment had to turn his head and cast his sights on other people.

"Volsong, the city of wrath of the sky... this city was actually smaller when the Hengding clan ruled." He said

At the same time, the brave man also felt a little emotional in his heart.

"Moreover, it looks much more grand now, and it doesn't look like a city that has experienced war at all."

In this era, it is not easy to expand the city's territory, and the cost involved has to be weighed by people.

"In fact, a more pragmatic king would consider using this property to expand the army or other aspects, such as completely repairing it within a few months and continuing to expand outward..."

Then, Hiltebrand shook his head.

"This kind of thing may only be done by Siegfried in the entire atrium world."

There is no reason why Hiltebrand would say that.

In fact, it doesn't matter if the King City of Volsung is only repairing the walls and gates.

After all, in the entire atrium world, there are not many rich kings.

Not to mention anyone else, even the Gothic King Dietmar has amassed a considerable fortune.

The kingdom's reserve materials can not only support a large-scale war, but of course it is also possible to quickly build a city wall in a short period of time.

Not even mentioning Goth, I heard that when the Hengding family resisted the attack of Volsung, they also thickened the city wall in an extreme time, and then built a fortress at the city gate.

This is still within the acceptable range, at least for the kings, this is not a difficult thing.

But Siegfried's handwriting is not limited to this...

Today, the city of Skywrath has not only been repaired, but even expanded outward again, establishing an outer city.

This not only means the expansion and construction of the city wall, but more importantly, the establishment of various internal facilities.

At the same time, the palace of the Volsung family was completely restored.

This is just a matter of Wangcheng...

Hiltebrand remembered very clearly that when they crossed the border and passed through the small town of Strath, they saw that the small town was also expanding and building various fortifications.

The former fortress is still being repaired, so it is only a matter of time before the entire interior of the Netherlands is fully fortified.

And more importantly, during this process, Siegfried never defaulted on wages.

This process is full of wealth and wealth, and no one accuses the king of being a prodigal, because most of the citizens are tantamount to making money in the king's own small treasury through this behavior.

Now is also the slack time for farming. Although the farmland needs to be taken care of, it does not need to spend too much manpower, so the labor force in the family simply does some work within their ability.

And this is paid for...

Hiltebrand could even imagine what it would be like when the entire Netherlands was completely refurbished.

Even though the future new king spent a lot of money, he also gained a lot of prestige.

"It's really something that only that brat Siegfried can do." At this point, Studus couldn't help but say.

At this moment, the face of Gitland's dragon slayer could not help showing a touch of jealousy.

"It's nice to have money!"

Perhaps, not everyone can put such words on the table like Herme Stodtas.

But at this moment, he can be regarded as expressing the aspirations of most people.

rich...

After all, besides his father's legacy, Siegfried has now mastered the evil dragon's treasure.

One can imagine how rich his small coffers are...

Although according to Siegfried, the dragon slayer, the money-hungry evil dragon died with most of his belongings before he died because he didn't want him to take those treasures away.

More importantly, even if there is a surplus, it is still part of a country's assets!

"If I have a chance in the future, I have to ask him how much money he has left. It really doesn't hurt to spend money."

"There's no need to be so distressed. Even if these expenses are spent, they just went into the families of ordinary people and supported the operation of the kingdom."

Finally, at the moment when Studus was yelling these words, His Royal Highness seemed to have finally come to his senses and spoke like this.

"Property... It's useless to store too much of this kind of thing. Only when it really flows can it reflect value."

Then, pulling the reins of the war horse under his crotch slightly, His Royal Highness led the team to move on.

And as they advanced, they finally came under the city gate.

There, the civilians came and went, coming in and out of the huge city gates, and at the same time, the soldiers standing on the city walls were extremely majestic.

Compared with this mighty city, Dietrich and his party seemed a little small.

After all, they didn't bring too many soldiers - they came here to congratulate on behalf of the neighboring countries, and they didn't come here to smash the scene.

"Your Highness, what should we do? Shall we just go in like this?" Looking at the entrance of the city where people come and go, Studus couldn't help asking.

Then, His Royal Highness was silent.

Speaking of which, it was the first time for him to do such a thing as a so-called mission or visit.

What should I do?

Chapter 98: Wrath of the Sky

His Royal Highness froze in place.

From a distance, he seemed to be standing like a sculpture, looking straight into the distance, watching the city gate with people coming and going and some guarding soldiers.

No one could see any problems from his image at the moment, and those who didn't know thought he was observing something.

But in fact, he was thinking about this issue in his heart.

It's not that he has never entered other people's royal cities or so-called large cities, he has even entered other people's army fortresses.

However, that situation is definitely not a mission or congratulations.

Because the prince's extremely young life history is only divided into three parts: childhood, travel and war.

His childhood was naturally spent in the court, and because his father Dittmar was extremely busy, he basically grew up under the guidance of various teachers including the brave Hiltebrand.

Then, after growing up a little, his father led him to handle government affairs.

When he grew up a little, he started his own travels, and then went through the iron forest to the kingdom of giants.

And the last part is now, this kind of thing he is doing until now.

That's war...

The moment His Royal Highness returned, the kingdom had actually been in a state of confusion and anxiety.

The outside world is covetous, and there are strong enemies in the east, but inside, there are a series of hidden dangers because of the disappearance of the Valkyrie.

After all, no matter what, the Valkyries are the messengers of the gods, and they should have an extremely strong sense of presence in the atrium world. If they disappear all of a sudden, this kind of thing will indeed bring people strong anxiety.

However, the public's uneasiness is really just that.

What is really concerning is that those lords and nobles may take the opportunity to make trouble because of this incident.
