Great Nobleman.

Chapter 2086 That is the legacy left by the family's ancestors!
While continuing to communicate with Evelyn, we also confirmed our goals.

So the knight golem draped himself in a large cloak to conceal his identity, and then set off further east.

To transport logistical supplies from the [Fairy Lake Domain] to the [Ten Thousand Rivers Domain]...

The most suitable route is through the Emerald Realm, which is south of the Fairy Lake Realm.

The snowmelt from the highlands of the Frostfall Realm melts along the way and converges into rivers and lakes in the western Fairy Lake Realm.

Further on, two wide rivers flow from the Fairy Lake Domain to the Emerald Domain, which is located at a lower altitude further south.

Then, these two rivers flow further down to a lower elevation, namely the southeastern "Ten Thousand Rivers Region".

This demonstrates the strategic value that an enemy attack on the Emerald Realm can bring.

Of course, this wasn't the only reason why the [Radiant Hall] ultimately chose to attack the [Emerald Realm].

In addition to these factors, there must have been many other considerations, such as defeats on the naval battlefield, shifts in strategic focus, and subsequent war tactics.

However, these things ultimately have little to do with Morning Flower Territory.

So after thinking about it for a while, Brand simply gave up.

Regardless, the Emerald Realm has now become a battlefield.

As a support staff member, the Knight Golem should also evacuate.

As for the demons, let them be.

Having learned their lesson from last night to this morning, they should now realize how foolish and arrogant their previous ideas were!
—How dare they provoke the 'head of the North Harland family'?

Even if they disagree, let's wait until these demons block the knight golem before we talk!

The Knight Golem's journey after that was rather uneventful.

On its way to evacuate to Noxi Town in the east, it encountered some wounded soldiers and a logistics team escorting them.

Of course, there were also reinforcements heading against the flow towards the Emerald City, the center of the battlefield.

Not long after, the knight golem arrived in Norsi Town, met up with Duric Fisher, one of Evelyn's Dragon King Guard captains, and took a symbolic rest.

The knight golem, along with a small number of wounded companions and a small squad of guards, sped off further southeast.

Along the way, they also encountered some foolish demons who came to provoke them.

But their unfortunate encounter with the Knight Golem and their fate is, needless to say, predictable.

That afternoon, the Knight Golem and his party arrived at a small riverside town and met up with Stella, Finia, and others who had arrived earlier.

At this point, all the professional technicians under Evelyn's command who had held out until the very end in the Emerald City had gathered here.

That evening, about ten boats sailed downstream and anchored at the town's port.

Then, a pale-faced Evelyn led a group of people off the ship's deck and gathered everyone at the port.

Facing Evelyn, many people began to release the emotions they had been suppressing since last night.

Everyone knows very well:

Their homeland is being destroyed by demons, and flames are burning everything!
Thinking about these things, some people had tears in their eyes and wept uncontrollably, while others had serious faces and angry eyes.

Evelyn also solemnly and firmly promised in response:

"We will settle this score with the demons of the [Radiant Flame Hall] sooner or later!"

After offering words of comfort and encouragement to everyone, Evelyn urged them to board the ship as soon as possible.

—Next, this small fleet, loaded with a large amount of supplies, will sail downstream until it reaches the [Ten Thousand Rivers Domain] in the southeast.

A short while later, a corner of the deck of a ship sailing south.

Evelyn sighed as she looked at the knight golem:
"Bernard, you've really stolen the show today!"
Quite a few old guys came to me again asking about your information, but I sent them all away.

You don't need to worry about anything, just as we agreed in the beginning:
As long as you stand on our side, I won't ask about your past identity, and I'll take responsibility for anything else!

Although I, the Dragon Emperor, am young, I am more than capable of protecting you.

The knight golem nodded and said:

"Thank you for your concern, Dragon Emperor. It is just a little bit of the legacy left by my family's ancestors. There is no need for you to hide anything from me, Dragon Emperor."

"But Lady Evelyn, how are your injuries? What are your plans for the aftermath?"

When asked about this, Evelyn responded with a hint of helplessness:
"My injuries are quite serious, and I will need to rest for a while."

So I'll escort you to the [Land of Ten Thousand Rivers], and also take care of some personnel resettlement matters. I've temporarily handed over the fighting here to Uncle Lucius.

He will handle it for me until I recover and return.

After a brief pause, Evelyn continued, sounding somewhat distraught:
"I won't lie to you, the situation in the Emerald Realm is now out of control."

According to the assessment of Cecilia's command center, the [Radiant Hall] has already designated our location as a key objective.

Although we will not let them have their way, troops from several nearby areas are gradually moving towards this side.

However, given the current situation, it's only a matter of time before the entire Emerald Realm is burned to the ground.

Therefore, regardless of whether we win or lose the subsequent war here.

"It's unlikely we'll be able to return and rebuild our homes anytime soon."

The knight golem said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, there is no need to blame yourself."

We, the Emerald Realm, are not the only ones facing the same predicament.

Nowhere on the continent is absolutely safe until the enemy is defeated and victory is achieved.

And weren't we actually prepared for this day a long time ago?

Otherwise, we wouldn't have let the people evacuate first.

Hearing this, Evelyn sighed and nodded:
"Even so, when the time comes, it's still hard to accept all of this."

"These damned demons!"

By the end, Evelyn couldn't help but grit her teeth.

Faced with this situation, although he didn't feel much empathy, Brand did feel a little emotional.

Morning Flower Castle.

They made their way to the study in the main building, and then pulled out a copy of the ceasefire agreement they had signed with the [Radiant Fire Hall].

Looking at the signing date above, and preparing to calculate the time again...

Catherine, standing beside him, said at the opportune moment:
"There are one year, seven months and five days left until the armistice agreement expires."

Before that, although we definitely can't go to the library, if you want to join the battle, my sister Celine and I can accompany you.

Because everyone thought that the young master was only a junior mage, and our strength was not outstanding, the [Radiant Hall] overlooked us.

In addition, there is a family guard.

At most, we only need to conceal our identities.

Apart from the additional agreement signed by the young master, the party that originally signed the ceasefire agreement with the [Radiant Fire Hall] was the Alliance of Continental Races.

"It was His Majesty the Emperor who went to sign the 'Resolution on the Unity of the Continental Races,' so we can keep it from him."

Brand shook his head and said:

There are some things that I really can't stand to see.

But I'm not prepared to fight for others and expose you to unnecessary risks.

Finally, he looked at the copy of the ceasefire agreement in his hand again, and then put it back in its original place.

Brand continued:

"Things aren't actually that pessimistic."

Although there is no concrete evidence, inferences can be made based on various past intelligence reports:

The Dwarf Village must have secretly signed some cooperation agreements with the continent of Osia, and the situation in the Elf Forest is clearly very similar.

Based on this, it is highly likely that the continent of Osia will receive reinforcements from our continent in one year and seven months.

At that time, even if it's just for some reputation and profit.

Our human alliance, along with other races on the continent, will participate more extensively.

Instead of providing varying degrees of support only in the logistical field as is the case now.

However, before that, the continent of Osia ultimately has to rely on itself.

They should be well aware of this!
