Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 399 Messenger
December 23rd, Saturday.

The envoy sent by Rodel to the North first passed through the Rodel portal to reach Gaileed, then went all the way north to Port Torrens, but was stopped by the garrison when he was about to go out to sea on a magical sailing ship.

"What? Route 29 is closed to traffic?"

The elegantly dressed court baron looked at the Storm Knight in front of him in astonishment, "Why? Didn't His Highness Lucia just lead the fleet through there? How could there be any danger?"

"This is an order, His Excellency Baron Kirk." Storm Knight politely extended his hand to stop him from boarding the ship, but the reason he gave was so simple that it was not even a reason.

"Whose order?"

"Minister Violet of the Far Eastern Province's Northern Gelide Government Affairs Department has issued a six-month temporary navigation ban to the Eastern Territory and all nearby Storm Sea archipelago cities based on the emergency military situation in the Northern Storm Sea and the second half of Route 29. During this period, any ship other than a warship is restricted from traveling north along this route."

"Far Eastern Province. North Gelide Government Affairs Department?" Kirk took a lot of effort to barely connect these phrases together.

When he was in Rodel, he only knew about the Far Eastern Storm Sea Archipelago outside Fam Azra. It was not news that the Northern Gelide region fell into the control of the Ancient Dragon Dynasty, but what were these provinces and government departments that suddenly emerged?
The Golden Dynasty also had a Ministry of Government, but that was the dynasty’s highest-level government administration agency. Why did the Ancient Dragon Dynasty’s Ministry of Government not only extend to the regional level, but also be located in Gaileed, where the city-state power was deeply rooted and the Golden Dynasty had been unable to completely digest it in sixteen years?
The navigation ban was issued by the Northern Gelide Government Department, which was much more terrifying than if it was issued by Lucia herself.

This means that in the past three months, Lucia has completed the integration of the Northern Gelide region at a speed that the Golden Dynasty could not understand, and has incorporated it reasonably and legally into the ruling system of the Ancient Dragon Dynasty.

This land, which had been resisting the Golden Order for sixteen years, did not put up any resistance to Lucia, but at least there had not been any vicious resistance incidents that could have been detected and used as a handle by the Golden Dynasty.

That. The adults in the capital were always saying things like "The people in the East are living in misery under the high-pressure rule of the Ancient Dragon Dynasty", "The people of Gaileid are eager for the royal army to march eastward and return to their homeland", "As long as Nimgefu's army marches eastward, Gaileid will be easily conquered".
What are those things?
Millions of Gelides fell to Lucia so easily, just because of his sword that cut off the stars?
How superficial!

However, Kirk didn't have time to criticize the stupidity of the Galide people. Thinking of the mission he was responsible for, he still stepped forward and said, "Warships are better. I am going north because of the order of His Majesty Radagon. I want to go to His Majesty Lucia's army to issue a commendation order to him and all the soldiers. You should immediately arrange a warship to escort me."

"You have misunderstood the order, Sir Kirk."

The knight smiled gracefully and said, "Not every warship can be considered a warship. In Torrance, you must hold a transfer order from either His Royal Highness Lucia Sanx or Priest Lance Sanx to ignore the navigation ban and head north to join the Northern Expedition Army. If you are not in a hurry, I can apply to Priest Lance for you, but you will have to wait at least fifteen more working days."

"I--"

Before Kirk could continue to explain, a young man in black armor and a wolf head suddenly ran past him at lightning speed. He waved to the knight, crossed the checkpoint on his own, and jumped onto a small warship that had been waiting at the dock in two steps.

The young man patted the side of the ship, and the warship immediately activated the energy storage crystal and sailed towards the north.

"That guy in the wolfskin helmet - what right did he have to ignore the ban? Is this how you do things? Where's his warrant?"

The Storm Knight withdrew his gaze from following the warship northward, turned back and said politely, "That's Blaze, currently serving as a special maintenance courier for the trilateral relationship. He carries a warrant signed by both Her Highness Lucia and Priest Lance - for a year."

"Blazer" Kirk felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but he still couldn't remember the other person's identity for a moment.

But this did not stop him from being very unhappy. He, a commendation envoy personally sent by His Majesty Radagan, was stopped. How could a "special courier for maintaining trilateral relations" with strange clothes and inexplicable appearances have a smooth journey? "Isn't it said that the military situation is urgent? What could he do that is more urgent than His Majesty Radagan's commendation order? And a year-long warrant? Doesn't that mean he has to queue ahead of me to travel to the North at public expense?"

"In principle, that's right. As for what he was going to do, I don't know the details, but since he was a messenger, he should be delivering a letter, right?"

While the Baron was still arguing in Port Torrance, half-wolf Blaze was already heading north with a pile of letters.

In the cabin, he would take the mountain-heavy bag off his back every hour, open it and carefully check whether the letters were damp, the seals were damaged, the corners were wrinkled, and think about which letter should be put on top.

His own highness? But when a certain Moon Princess threw the letter to him, she looked disdainful and waved her hand, asking him not to disturb her while she was doing magic experiments. From this point of view, the content of the letter should not be very important. His highness just wrote it casually to deal with His Highness Lucia?
But why is it so heavy?

However, not only were all the letters from Princess Marlennia heavy, there were fifteen of them. Thinking of the hateful face of the Golden Princess who threatened him with a prosthetic knife to keep the letters safe, Blaze wanted to do something bad and put her letters at the bottom, but he was a little scared and didn't dare to do it.

Then let the most talkative priest of Lance be at the bottom?

As soon as the thought came to Blaze, he shuddered violently. No, no, no. When he visited Sky City a few days ago, although Priest Lance just told him with a smile to keep the letter safe because it contained important content, as soon as he walked out of the gate of Sky Temple, a large group of beast priests as tall as city walls squeezed in, grinning and showing off their muscles, threatening that if His Highness Lucia failed to see Lord Lance's letter in the first place, they would follow Lord Malicus's teachings and teach him how to be a wolf.

Damn it, he is half wolf, not one of those purebred werewolves with fangs almost growing to the base of their necks!

After struggling all the way, Blaze finally came to a conclusion when he finally arrived at Lucia's garrison.

Lucia was already assembling his troops and preparing to set off, and he almost passed by Blaze. Riding on his dragon-scale horse, he took a stack of spotless envelopes from the latter and whispered the sender's name.

"Sister Lance's, Marenia's, Marenia's, Marenia's, and sure enough, there's also Lani's," Lucia glanced at Blaze in surprise, "I haven't seen you for a few months. When did you become so selfless? You actually put Lani's at the bottom?"

"Your Highness, there is no joking in the army. Even you have to pay attention at all times!" Blaze said righteously, "I never knew the order. The luggage was packed by your North Gallide Government Affairs Department. Any disputes arising from this have nothing to do with me."

"Okay," Lucia stopped making things difficult for him. "Well, I have a chance to escape from the conflict, but it's much more dangerous to go on an expedition with me than to deliver a letter. Do you want to?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Blaze suddenly drew out the royal giant sword, his wolf eyes red as he said, "My sword and fang have been waiting for your order for a long time!"

Lucia leaned over and patted his shoulder, saying affirmatively: "You have a good momentum, but it would be better if you don't cry next time."

Blaze finally couldn't hold back and wiped away his tears.

What kind of special courier for the protection of trilateral relations? He was just happy for a few days when he first got the job without knowing the truth. Delivering letters is simply not a job a wolf can do!

"Return to the team." Lucia gestured behind her, and her personal guards led out the horses and supplies for Blaze.

Behind the two men, the camp was located at the entrance of the Snow Ridge Line. Ten thousand fully armed knights were slowly walking out of the camp. However, the royal flag did not point to the north, but to the southwest, heading straight for the Watcher Fortress three thousand miles away!
