Great Nobleman.

Chapter 2078 Let's touch it first and talk about it later!
After completing the creation of the [Summoning Greatsword - Prototype], and admiring the weapon's appearance with Celine for a while.

Without much hesitation, the two immediately shared this exciting news with the rest of their family.

As dusk was approaching, the two of them, in high spirits, carried the beautiful greatsword and headed towards the castle's banquet hall.

They hadn't gone far when they were gradually surrounded by women who had heard the news!

"Wow, this is our family's first amazing weapon?"

"It is the first 'independently developed' divine weapon. In terms of the order in which divine weapons were acquired, this is already the third."

Brand smiled and said:

"However, the significance is different. This is only the [Summoning Greatsword - Prototype]. There will be [Type II], [Type III], and [Type IV] in the future."

Without exception, they will all be among the divine artifacts, and they will definitely become stronger and stronger.

However, the [Deep Sea Halberd] and the [Heavenly Sword] are different.

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone else asked another question:

"Master, how did you manage to lift such a huge sword?"

"Is that even a question? It's magic! The greatsword is clearly enveloped in a layer of wind element!"
But this doesn't seem to be a spell cast by the museum master.

Brand explained cheerfully:
"This is the function of an auxiliary rune array on the greatsword, which helps the user to use the greatsword more easily."

It is easy for users to lift.

But for the enemy, its weight remains unchanged, and this auxiliary rune array can even increase its slashing power to some extent.

As he said this, Brand brandished his greatsword.

During this process, the rich moisture was carried by the breeze and spread to the surrounding area, eliciting excited exclamations from the ladies!

"Doesn't that mean we can try it out too?"

As soon as he said this, many expectant and eager eyes turned towards Brand.

Brand smiled and nodded in response:
"Yes, that's it!

Anyone who wants to try it tonight is welcome.

However, this is limited to the banquet hall, and I will also impose some restrictions on it.

After all, setting aside the runic array above, this artifact itself is incredibly sharp, being crafted primarily from [Behemoth Claws]!

These words sparked even more excited cheers that echoed around Brand.

Afterwards, everyone eagerly urged Brand to hurry up and get to the banquet hall.

Before long, under the expectant gazes of everyone, Brand placed the greatsword on the display shelf on the high platform of the banquet hall for everyone to admire and try.

Against this backdrop, the excited discussions and occasional cheers continued until late into the night before gradually subsiding.

But by the next morning...

Many members of the library set foot on the spacious deck of the Sapphire after a long absence.

The massive warship accelerated and spun out of the castle's inner bay, charging toward the endless sea.

After getting far enough away from the coast and when there was no one else around,

The vast water element enveloped the massive warship, then transformed into the shape of a deep blue whale, charging forward and leaping into the air.

Then, succumbed to gravity and plunged downwards, disappearing into the deep blue sea...

By the time the Sapphire returned to Morningflower Castle, it was already late at night.

Although many of the spies who noticed this matter believed that something big might have happened to the North Holland family again.

However, what frustrates them just as much as in the past is:
No details regarding the matter have been leaked!

……

The successful completion of the [Summoning Greatsword - Prototype] filled the entire North Holland family with excitement and joy for several days.

Outsiders may have noticed something amiss, but at most they only made some unreliable guesses.

After being busy for so many days, Brand finally took a long-awaited break after completing the artifact and giving it a small test.

He either stays at home with his wives or accompanies members of the research department to shop and spend money in commercial areas across the continent, living a very comfortable life.

Of course, there were some minor incidents along the way.

It was noon that day, on the terrace of Morning Flower Castle.

Brand returned with the same sour face as yesterday.

Celine, who had just gotten up, yawned softly, then smiled and joked:
"Oh! Our patriarch has been taken advantage of by his disobedient female subordinate again?"

Upon hearing this, he glanced at Celine, who was watching him make a fool of himself, with obvious displeasure.

Brand quickly began secretly plotting to severely punish her sister Celine tonight!
These days, I've been on vacation and don't have to get up early every day.

So Brand stayed up very late every night.

This is also why Celine didn't get up until noon!

While Brand was secretly plotting something nefarious, he outwardly maintained a nonchalant demeanor as he sat down.

Sonia suddenly handed him a document and said gently:
"Honey, after resting for so many days, your vacation is almost over."

The war in the northwest of the continent of Osia has taken a turn.

The Emerald Realm will likely be affected soon.

Upon hearing this, Brand quickly took the data and glanced at the markings.

After discovering that this information came from the [Twilight Frost Domain].

Brand opened it directly.

At the same time, in the simulated world, he also paused the forging process that was in progress. Instead, he quickly took out the empty projection screen, activated it, and then awakened the knight golem that had been waiting in the Emerald Dragon Palace forge for several days.

At this point, Sonia explained simply:

"According to the intelligence Cecilia sent this morning."

Last night, the southern defense line of the Azure Wind Domain was completely breached by the Radiant Fire Palace.

The demon army has now reached the northern border of the [Fairy Lake Domain]...

At this moment, on the continent of Osia, in the Emerald Dragon Palace, in the knight golem's private forging room.

Under Brand's control, after a simple tidying up inside, the Knight Demon closed the barrier of the forge and opened the door.

Soon, they sensed the commotion on this side.

Finia, who was standing right next to the weapons shop, trotted over and called out loudly:
"Mr. Bernard, you're finally out! Something big has happened on the northern front these past few days!"

Upon hearing this, the knight golem nodded, then said in a deep voice:

"Tell me in detail."

After a short while, having learned the general outline of what had happened from Finia, the Knight Golem then found Stella and learned more specific details from her.

As Sonia said:
The southern defense line of the Azure Wind Domain was breached by the Radiant Flame Palace.

The demon army has now begun its attack on the southern defenses of the Fairy Lake region.

However, this process is not something that can be accomplished overnight, but rather is completed step by step.

"As you know, the landing of the [Radiant Hall] fleet will inevitably put greater pressure on the northern battlefield."

As these new troops arrived one after another, the pressure on the front lines gradually increased over time.

Even though the various regions behind the front lines have been continuously sending new recruits to join the battlefield.

However, we still can't compare to the entire population of the [Radiant Hall] who are all soldiers!

After stating this fact, Stella said seriously:

"Therefore, the gradual withdrawal of the defensive line was expected."

As for why the [Radiant Flame Hall] chose to concentrate its forces to break through to the south of the [Azure Wind Domain] and then march on the [Immortal Lake Domain].

You should be able to figure out the reason.

The knight golem nodded and said:

Their target should have been the [Fairy Lake Region].

The eastern part of the Fairy Lake Domain is the Twilight Frost Domain.

The melting snow from the high-altitude mountains there flows a considerable amount of it all the way to the [Fairy Lake Region] in the west.

Then, using the [Fairy Lake Region] as a hub, they connect to many nearby regions with lower altitudes, including the [Emerald Region] where we are in the south.

Once we capture it, our logistical transport by waterway in the surrounding area will be significantly hampered.

Furthermore, if they were to transform the entire [Fairy Lake Region] into a lava field.

Many rivers originating from it will inevitably dry up.

The impact can be described as far-reaching!

Stella nodded and said:

That's about it.

Of course, there were similar special places in other parts of the long front of the Northwest battlefield.

They too are threatened by the [Radiant Hall].

Therefore, the [Fairy Lake Domain] to our north is actually only one of the main battlefields.

Ultimately, however, the war surrounding the [Fairy Lake Region] has become increasingly intense.

Our Emerald Realm, which is located right next to it to the south, will inevitably suffer increasingly severe impacts as well.

In fact, while you've been working behind closed doors these past few days, quite a few things have happened here.

The Dragon Emperor, along with his guards, is using your name to set traps and lure enemies in various locations.

Then, they successfully lured in powerful enemies who had been lying in wait on several occasions.

At first we were quite excited, but after one attack after another, we certainly dealt a huge blow to these lurking enemies.

However, the fact that these demons were persistent and willing to take risks at the slightest possibility made the Dragon Emperor and his companions feel very uneasy.

Moreover, as the front line moves south and gets closer to our [Emerald Realm], the power these guys can gather each time is getting stronger and stronger.

So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor should be seeking your attention again soon to discuss the retreat to a more secure rear area.

Upon learning of this, Brand's mind was filled with a multitude of thoughts.

He was well aware of the demons of the [Radiant Hall]'s insane bravery and fearlessness.

In the former battlefield of the Dwarf Village, as the regional commander, he had heard many examples.

To a large extent, this was also an important reason why they chose to sign a ceasefire agreement with the [Radiant Hall] to avoid causing more unnecessary casualties to their side.

Of course, all of this boils down to the fact that we are not strong enough, so we have to choose to compromise!

The current situation is the same.

However, retreating before even seeing the enemy was not in line with his usual style as the head of the North Holland family.

Even if he doesn't plan to bring his family into the war, and the knight golem is just an unknown avatar of his, it's all the same!

—Let's touch it first and talk about it later!
