222 A Promise For Life
After the siege of Valentine was resolved, the six armies were all destroyed, and it was a miraculous victory.
In the huge strategy of the elves to attack Goethe, a large military void instantly appeared in the entire eastern war zone. The destruction of the six Royal Dragon Flag Legions would have an extrely far-reaching impact. It would not only affect the situation of this war and the official hats of many elves… it would also affect sothing deeper.
However, all of this still had to slowly fernt.
The aning of a short period of ti was that Valentine and the many cities north of it were no longer threatened by the elves’ swords. Thousands of people did not have to die or wander.
!!
Many people died, and many more survived.
Although life could not be asured by numbers… it was still a victory.
The end of the battle did not an that everything was over. There were still many things to do. In the short term, the restoration of order in Valentine, the treatnt of the injured, the restraint of the dead, as well as the release of the epidemic, food, patrol, and security, all kinds of statistics. Many things required a large number of people and ti.
After the bloody battle, less than 10% of Valentine’s elite class survived. The administrative officials with administrative experience also suffered heavy casualties. Almost all the nobles were wiped out, and the entire food warehouse was burned. Almost half of the buildings in the city collapsed or were destroyed. The injured were everywhere and were in urgent need of treatnt. Corpses were everywhere.
There was a lack of administrative officials, resources, rations, dicine, clothes, and everything.
The gorilla’s rcenary group could be in charge of so security, vigilance, and even dical work. So of the people from noble backgrounds had received a good education and could barely assist in administration.
After asking, he found out that the gorilla’s lackeys were mixed. There were gladiators who had obtained freedom, slaves who resisted their masters, people who had lost their countries, noble illegitimate children from the Empire, and disciples who did not have the right to inherit. The composition was extrely complicated, and there were many purposes for following the gorilla. There were many people with selfish motives.
Of course, Kang De would not easily trust them, but the good thing was that no matter what background these people had, no matter how arrogant they were, no one dared to look him in the eye now.
Strength was everything. It was indeed a good era.
However, the matter of resources was sothing the rcenary group could not resolve. Although Kang De could take out resources from the white fog world, to tens of thousands of people, it was only a drop in the bucket. He did not buy a house near the granary.
However, it did not matter. Goethe was a country.
With ssages and evidence, teams ran towards the few important cities north of Valentine to transmit this news to the officials there and make it spread to the capital of Goethe and even the world faster.
In fact, it was not that Kang De had not thought of temporarily keeping this news to exchange for more reaction ti. However, on second thought, this could not be hidden. The gorilla’s rcenary group was mixed with good and bad people. There might be spies from the Empire. Ever since Goethe started the war with the elves, there must have been no lack of military observers and intelligence agents from various countries on this land. Moreover, the elves must have army-level rapid communication abilities.
They must have been frightened and would use all thods to send this news back to the country.
Therefore, it was aningless to hide it. Moreover, it would make him look very timid. It was very easy for the enemy to make the wrong judgnt that this guy could not shoot a second ti.
In that case, tens of thousands of people would die. What a sin.
Kunke City, Tamin City, Red Creek Valley.
Back then, when Nick tricked Kang De into saying that the Sword Orchid Army was coming to help, he said that the reinforcents of these three cities were also one of the forces to attack the Dusk Legion. Until now, the truth was revealed. The Sword Orchid Army had already returned to the capital of Goethe to help. Before they left, the Grand Duke’s second son, Landiston, secretly saw Nick and begged him to defend Valentine for a few days to buy ti and delay the advance of the elf army. These three cities most likely had the sa mission.
When the ssenger arrived, these three cities were already under martial law. The brave people had completed their mobilization and were all prepared to resist the invasion and die with the city, just like Valentine back then.
However, when they saw Valentine’s ssenger arrive, everyone thought that he had sent the grievous news of the city being broken and people dying. Unexpectedly, it was such news. No words could describe the mood of the mayors. They were surprised and happy and in disbelief as if in a dream, there was dense disbelief and suspicion.
The level of nonsense could completely compare to how a person had defeated the six Dragon Flag Legions of the elves.
No Goethe person with a normal IQ could believe it.
The mayors even suspected that this was the elves’ tactic to lure the enemy, but they had to admit that even the stupidest elf general would not fabricate such a ridiculous excuse to lie. Moreover, the ssengers all brought so electronic players to play the tragic scene of the collision.
It was like hell. The mountains and rivers shattered, and miniature circular rings appeared on the ground. After the silver-white tal lted and splashed, it solidified again. Blood seeped into the ground. There were torn corpses and broken armor everywhere, and more things that could not be recognized.
This place seed to have experienced an earth-shattering spell battle, like the ancient battlefield of the gods. Only the patterns of the broken flag and armor proved the identity of this destroyed army.
The mayors sent a reconnaissance team to confirm it with their own eyes in disbelief. They were extrely nervous, but they were also filled with indescribable excitent and anticipation. If it were true, that would be great.
The reconnaissance team, who were already prepared to sacrifice themselves, arrived at Valentine as soon as possible. They did not even enter the city and advanced towards the Doomsday Battlefield.
Then, they rushed back crazily.
This was because they had personally seen that scene. It was not fake and was all real.
The six Elven Dragon Flag Legions in the north had indeed been destroyed.
The person who led all of this was called Kang De, Princess Tina’s husband.
The accompanying mages felt that it was too slow and even wrote their will. They controlled wind spells to glide for a long ti and arrived at their respective cities.
Then the mayors went crazy, and so did the nobles.
The ssengers’ report was extrely detailed and logical. No matter how ridiculous it was, the truth was still the truth. They had personally seen the ring-shaped group ford by the terrifying collision and seen the tragic corpses of countless elves lying in it. They had even picked up the fragnts of the broken armor. Everyone had to believe everything.
They also saw many figures wandering around. So of the surrounding farrs and wanderers who had boldly co to see were all kneeling on the ground and praying. Everything was indeed like a miracle.
There were also more sneaky shadows with unknown goals.
Of course, the most eye-catching things were still the dozen or so green-skinned people.
These orcs had been looking at this impact site and continuously howling. They beat their chests and stomped their feet and cried loudly as if their mother had died inside. They said sothing that no one understood. It was really difficult to understand.
The mayors and nobles of the three cities finally began to believe it.
The first convoy filled with dicine and food had already set off. Accompanying them were so nobles, officials, and even businessn who were in the mood to be active and good at speculating. They even brought their daughters.
These people were suspicious by nature and were only willing to believe what they saw with their own eyes. If this was true, when would they not perform well in front of Prince Kang De now?
As expected, the number of bootlickers in Valentine increased exponentially.
However, their intentions to see Prince Kang De were all rejected without exception, and the gifts were all returned.
No one was dissatisfied. Instead, they felt that it was natural. After seeing that terrifying power with their own eyes, no one would treat Kang De as a human. Being willing to send soone to say that he was in a bad mood and busy was already very, very good.
Not only were they not angry, but they were also worried. Previously, when they heard Princess Tina’s statent, they were still repulsed and indignant and had conflicted feelings towards the Cathayan they had never t. Now, everything had turned around.
They were even worried that Princess Tina was not worthy of Kang De.
No matter what, they stayed. The officials began to work hard and do it themselves. The nobles took the initiative to organize the list of deceased families and calculate various data. The rchants began to mobilize resources and support at all costs. They were all free. Everyone put in their full effort and did not show any favoritism.
Such honest and efficient administrative efficiency was actually built under the deterrence of a person’s power and strength.
Resources continuously arrived, and news continuously spread back. The mayors also spread this earth-shattering news in all directions through their respective intelligence channels. After arranging everything, they set off for Valentine. After all, they had to see it with their own eyes and visit His Highness Kang De.
Kang De finally t the three of them. After all, they were Nick’s colleagues and had most likely agreed to the request to defend the city to death. It was good to see them.
The mayors used the highest etiquette of seeing the heir of the Tedrell family. This was the result of their prior discussion. After all, Kang De was theoretically Tina’s husband. Otherwise, they did not know how to treat this peerless expert who would definitely shake the continent.
The eting went very smoothly. In fact, in a situation where one side’s posture was infinitely low and submissive, the eting was usually smooth and pleasant.
“In a few days, the entire continent will explode…”
In the warm and comfortable tea hall, Kang De drank cola and ate potato chips. After that day, he no longer ate the food of the other world until the completely reliable follower system was completed.
Even the food made by the maid of the Vidal Chamber of Comrce could not be eaten.
The person who suggested this was Leona herself.
Miss Vidal, who was sitting opposite him, held an exquisite teacup and took a sip of iced cola. A satisfied expression flashed across her face before it turned cold.
The silver-haired girl was still angry, very angry.
After the five legions were destroyed, Kang De confird two things in the city. He set off as soon as possible to bring Leona and the others back.
They were already far from Valentine, let alone see the star falling from the sky, nor did they know what had happened. However, none of this was important to Leona. She did not care what Kang De had done or if he could defend Valentine. She only wanted him to be safe.
Therefore, when she saw the familiar alchemical chariot rush over and saw the unhard Kang De walk out of the car with a smile, the girl’s heart was filled with incomparable surprise and sweetness. She almost gave up her pride and hugged Kang De in public to kiss him intensely. The worry in her heart had already turned into affection.
…Until a tall and big red-haired woman got down from the other side. Then, she hugged Kang De from behind as if no one was around and placed her chin on his shoulder as she glared at him with a “who are you” expression.
“Who, who is she?!”
In short, Kang De explained it a few tis before Leona, who had almost jumped up and down, believed this fact. This woman was Kang De’s best friend, and she had been a gorilla a month or two ago.
“Who… who are you lying to?!”
Although she said this, Leona slowly believed it. This was because, after a short confrontation and interaction, she discovered that the red-haired woman… might indeed be a gorilla.
Her heart was sour and uneasy. At that ti, the kiss and confession were completely transford and erupted after experiencing a night of shock and seeing that Kang De was about to turn around and die. However, now that the dust had settled, it was even more an earth-shattering miracle-like victory. With the gorilla jumping out to interfere, the girl’s thoughts began to worry again.
The scene was silent.
No one ntioned Miss Leona’s aggressive confession and words that day.
Even Leona herself did not want to ntion it.
The previous Kang De was only slightly noticed by various countries because of the incident in Glory Sand Town and Tina’s husband’s identity. Although he displayed extraordinary talent, he did not have a compatible reputation and status.
However, now, everything was different.
Leona sighed slowly. “Actually… I want to go ho.”
Kang De paused and said softly, “Can’t you stay a little longer?”
The girl looked at him and asked, “Why? Is there a reason to keep ?”
Kang De lowered his eyes and said calmly, “Because not many people in this city can treat normally anymore. Only you are still the sa as before.”
Leona was stunned. For a mont, she did not even know if she should be happy.
A mont later, she sighed in frustration, “Alright, alright. D*mn, I’m a businesswoman. If I leave now, I’ll simply embarrass the Vidal family…”
She deliberately emphasized the word “businesswoman” as if this was only business.
Kang De smiled. He understood everything.
The girl snorted, “Then I’ll barely be your brain. That gorilla doesn’t know anything, right? You can’t trust anyone else. You can only trust …”
At this mont, there was a knock on the door. The dical officer of the rcenary group entered and bowed to the two of them. Then, he bowed and said a few words in Kang De’s ear.
Kang De imdiately jumped up and said to Leona, “Let’s talk when I co back.”
He left quickly.
After the two of them left, Leona’s head smashed onto the table. The girl maintained this posture and whispered crazily, “That’s f*cking aweso…”
Kang De and the dical officer quickly passed through the corridor and arrived at another building. Everyone along the way lowered their heads and retreated.
After entering, the few people of the Heaven and Earth Association carried fruits and shrank towards a room. When they suddenly saw Kang De walking over, they were so frightened that they peed their pants and knelt on the ground.
Kang De did not even look. He walked over and pushed open the door.
Soone sat on the bed and looked at the warm light outside the window in a daze.
When he heard the commotion, he turned around and looked at him.
In an instant, he had mixed feelings.
Kang De walked over and looked at him a few tis. He said, “It’s good that you’re not dead. I’m leaving. Take care.”
With that, he turned to leave.
There was a sound behind him. That person rolled out of bed. “Master…”
Kang De turned around and helped him up from the ground. Then, he smiled, “I’m joking—it seems that not all my friends have a bad end.”
He said calmly, “You did well.”
That person was stunned, then tears fell one by one.
A mont later, he said softly, “I’m Hong San. From now on, I’m willing to lead the horse and follow Your Highness.”
Kang De simply asked, “As?”
Hong San paused for a mont, then looked straight into Kang De’s eyes. His back was no longer hunched, his voice no longer cowered, and his eyes no longer avoided him.
His voice was clear and powerful.
“As your retainer.”
Kang De smiled. “I couldn’t ask for more.”
Hong San also smiled and took a step back to face Kang De.
He only bowed.
He would definitely keep his promise and never kneel again in this life.
