#169 - Section 169 - From Baron to Lord

Anna smiled and said, "Originally, I was planning to request an audience with you, but I just arrived in the Duchy of Schalke... well, no, this place can no longer be called the Duchy of Schalke."

"But before I could go, Lord Albert came to my door."

"I must say, your vision and wisdom are truly astonishing. You even sensed the strangeness in the kingdom's situation, which is far better than that Duke of Schalke who was blinded by profit."

Anna bowed slightly to Allen, speaking respectfully.

Allen smiled. Once upon a time, he and Anna would have needed to switch roles. "Yes, I understand. Does your boss have anything else to say to me?" Allen asked calmly after having someone put away the map and note. "There are no other words, just to have me send his regards to you," Anna said.

Allen nodded: "Alright, I understand. You can leave now." He waved his hand at Anna.

Anna lifted her long skirt and gave Allen a respectful salute before leaving the castle. "Lord, what do we do next?"

Earl Earth Lizard asked curiously. Since they didn't need to go to war, what did they need to do?

"Hmm... first, have Sparrow and some officials come over and set up my three major factories. Also, the Treant and Beastman factories need to be established," Allen said, stroking his chin. Since there was no war, what he needed to do was immediately start developing his own territory. "In addition, my nature spirits and fairies need to be transferred here immediately," Allen said.

"I understand, Lord. Leave it to us. We will return immediately and take the population of Skywolf Territory away," Earl Earth Lizard said, patting his chest.

"No, there's no need to be so troublesome. I will personally go back," Allen said slowly. "Lord, you're going back personally?"

Earl Copper Mountain was slightly surprised. Allen's current status was no longer that of a small earl. He was actually going back personally? "Hmm? Going back personally."

Allen really couldn't bear to part with his Skywolf City. Compared to the Schalke royal capital, he preferred his Skywolf City more.

Now that the situation in the north was basically no longer a problem, he was ready to start building his own country.

The first thing to do was to move Skywolf City over.

As for how to move it, Allen only needed to put the entire Skywolf City into the Dragon Nest. … … … Asking for flowers …

Speaking of which, he had previously thought about putting a mountain range in the Dragon Nest and placing it on the sea.

However, later, with the improvement of his strength, he didn't use the Dragon Nest.

But that doesn't mean that the Dragon Nest cannot be used.

And to use the Dragon Nest, he had to go there himself.

Fortunately, he had already broken through to the Saint-level Archmage, otherwise, it would have been really difficult to take the entire Skywolf City away at once.

"You guys also prepare. Since you are following me, you have to give up the territory of the Duchy of Ryan."

Allen looked at the remaining three and said.

"That's true."

The three of Albert smiled slightly: "But Lord, if we leave, what about this place?"

Allen raised his eyebrows: "No problem, the fact that I have become a Grand Duke has already been tacitly approved by the new king who is about to ascend the throne."

"Even if I leave, there won't be any problems here. Besides, the Duchy of Ryan is only separated from here by the Stranfoss Mountains."

Allen smiled again when he said this: "I'll take the Behemoth beasts back to the Stranfoss Mountains by the way."

Although Behemoth beasts are overlords of war, kings of land warfare, and have almost no opponents on land.

But Behemoth beasts are undoubtedly terrifying, especially to civilians, even if everyone knows that Behemoth beasts are Allen's magical beasts.

They will not easily harm ordinary people.

But knowing this is one thing, and being afraid is another.

Allen has already seen this point.

"How about this, Allen, Marco, Thomas, and I will stay. I'm still worried about having fewer people. When you go back, tell Elon of the Thorn Flower Territory to move over as soon as possible."

Albert pondered for a while before speaking.

Allen smiled. Since Albert had said so, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

It seemed that his cheap father still cared very much about the issue of the duchy.

"Okay, Father."

Allen said with a smile.

Soon, a day later, Allen rode the dragon with Earl Earth Lizard and Earl Copper Mountain towards the Duchy of Ryan.

This time, they were going to take away their relatives and even some civilians who were willing to follow them from their territory. Several.

Chapter 252 Glorious Return, Skywolf Territory's Carnival! (2 Asking for Subscriptions!)

The next morning, the blue gem dragon rose from the depths of the royal palace, and everyone in the entire Schalke royal capital could see it clearly.

Although they were residents of the royal capital, giant dragons, after all, were legendary creatures with a mysterious color, and the Grand Duke couldn't possibly ride a dragon everywhere every day.

If it wasn't necessary, most of the dragons would stay in the Dragon Nest prepared for them by the Grand Duke.

This was conducive to hatching symbiotic magic materials.

One of the values of dragons was the precious materials born near their Dragon Nest.

So most of the time, civilians couldn't see the figure of a dragon.

"Oh! It's a dragon, it's the Grand Duke!"

"Praise the Grand Duke!"

In just one day, Allen directly gained the favor of almost all the civilians.

As for why?

Of course, it was because of the order to reduce taxes that Allen had Oliver issue immediately yesterday.

All the love was just to exchange the recognition of the lower-level people with sufficient benefits.

"August 13th" In the eyes of civilians who had been oppressed for a long time, Allen was their savior, their re-parents.

Especially the farmers, they were almost grateful to Allen to the point of tears.

The others were almost the same.

Countless civilians almost knelt on the ground in tears, watching Allen fly by on the dragon.

They wouldn't care who was their monarch.

They would only care about who brought them enough benefits, who could make them eat their fill, dress warmly, and preferably have money to buy two new sets of clothes.

This was what the civilians cared about.

And now, Allen had just become the Grand Duke, uh, in the eyes of the civilians, Allen was the Grand Duke.

Allen, who had just become the Grand Duke, could reduce taxes, which to the civilians, was the person they loved.

Allen certainly heard the voices of the civilians underground.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, he had expected this situation long ago.

"Roar!"

Safi roared happily, her entire body flying quickly into the sky.

In the royal capital, Anna sat by the windowsill, watching the figure of the dragon flying away. A trace of different colors flashed in her eyes, a few points of joy, a few points of sorrow.

A girl's thoughts are always elusive, like the wind wrapped in honey and tamarind, with a few points of sweetness and sourness.

Allen didn't stay with Earl Copper Mountain and Earl Earth Lizard for too long, because their routes were different. Allen was going to cross the Stranfoss Mountains, while they could only bypass the mountains.

Allen rode Safi in the air, and on the ground, there were also Behemoth beasts tens of meters tall.

"Boom!"

The people of the entire royal capital discovered that the Behemoth beasts that had been guarding outside the royal capital had finally left.

"Have they finally left?"

"That's great! They finally left, damn it, those monsters were too terrible!"

"The Grand Duke is wise, praise the Grand Duke!"

"The person who can control this kind of magic beast is too terrible!"

In the civilians' discussions, Allen quickly led the Behemoths through the entire Schalke Duchy and arrived at the Stranfoss Mountains.

Near the mountains, the previous tragic battlefield had been covered again by the flying snow, and the previous scene of the Shura field could no longer be seen.

"Alright, you guys continue to stay here."

Allen said to the Behemoths. After all, Behemoth beasts were also magical beasts, and letting them roam in the vast Stranfoss Mountains was much better than raising them near the royal capital.

"Roar roar!"

The Behemoth beasts nodded and skillfully walked into the Stranfoss Mountains, disappearing into the jungle.

And Allen rode Safi towards Skywolf Territory.

"Miss Lucy, Miss Lucy!"

Butler Edward looked at Lucy in front of him with a headache. This beautiful and noble lady came to him every day to ask when Allen would return after Allen left.

It used to be once a day, now it's ten times a day.

Poor Butler Edward was asked until he had a headache.

At this moment, Lucy was sitting on the sofa, making a fuss, saying that she would keep making a fuss if she couldn't see Allen.

Of course, she said that before, but she would only make a fuss for a while and then stop.

Today, I don't know how long this ancestor will make a fuss.

"I want Allen!"

Lucy pouted, saying with a dissatisfied face.

"Miss Lucy, the Lord is in the Schalke Duchy, the Lord is doing serious things, you also know, the Lord is a noble and powerful Dragon Knight! Heavens, incredible."

Butler Edward was originally comforting Lucy, but when he mentioned Allen, the old man suddenly became radiant.

It's simply incredible, Lord Allen is actually a noble Dragon Knight!

When he first received the news, Butler Edward once thought it was fake news, after all, Dragon Knights were too noble.

But then, even His Highness Lynarsen and Her Highness Leixue in the royal capital sent people to Skywolf Territory to express their congratulations, and he completely accepted this fact.
