Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 127 Preparation before departure
Heading to the Giant's Cave to find Kyurem is no small matter.

This involves enormous risks. Leaving aside the dangers that may be encountered along the way, just getting close to Kyurem is a difficult problem in itself.

As a legendary Pokémon, Kyurem is incredibly powerful and possesses the terrifying ability to freeze half of the Unova region in an instant.

If they inadvertently anger the other party during their approach, they may suffer a devastating blow.

"The only good news is that, judging from the anime, legendary Pokémon can communicate with humans and have higher intelligence than ordinary Pokémon," Raven pondered.

Once you get close enough, how to persuade Kyurem will also be a problem.

To capture a powerful legendary Pokémon, the trainer usually needs to possess great strength.

By proving your strength to your opponent through battles, you can gain their recognition.

The problem is that even if he trains his Pokémon hard, their current strength is still not enough against Kyurem.

But Raven had to do it.

With Victini's protection, even if they are no match for the Kyurem, they should be able to escape safely from the Giant's Cave.

"Never mind, let's put everything else aside for now and try to make contact with Kyurem first!" Raven thought to himself.

“Erif, that’s enough for today!” Raven said.

The old steward's face was filled with worry: "Your Highness, no matter what, we are with you, and I believe everyone in the territory feels the same way."

Those commoners, those slaves, those monsters exploited by humans...

No one would want to go back to that kind of life.

Hearing this, Raven felt a surge of relief.

The smiles on the faces of the human and Pokémon people in this territory flashed through his mind, and his heart was filled with determination.

If at the beginning he was simply being pushed forward by the harsh environment and the need to survive, now he has a reason to fight.

However, before leaving the territory, he needed to arrange all the affairs within it.

Watching Elif leave, Raven sat behind his desk, lost in thought.

He took out a piece of parchment, dipped a quill in ink, and then wrote down one plan after another for the future development of the territory.

First, the military, as a military force defending territory, must not slack off in its training.

During his absence, Geralt and his knights continued their daily training, nurturing Pokémon and striving to improve their strength as quickly as possible.

Second, hospitals. There is currently a lack of professional hospitals in the territory. Soldiers, civilians, and Pokémon in this territory will get sick and injured, and a hospital is needed at such times.

He hoped that Lila, the Joy sisters, and other doctors in the territory could take on this responsibility and get the hospital up and running as soon as possible.

Third, stockpiling food. In addition to meeting the daily needs of everyone in the territory, they also need a large amount of food to prepare for a war that may break out at any time.

In addition to the existing farmland, we should cultivate as much farmland as possible, raise more Pokémon, and cooperate with them for mutual benefit.

Fourth, strengthen ties with merchants who have settled in the town, vigorously promote the town's commercial development, and use ships to trade with other towns, thus enriching the city.

Fifth, the academy, where children aged seven to twelve within the territory can go to one place to learn skills including literacy, monster identification, and farming.

Sixth, build city walls around the entire territory in preparation for future wars.

7. Breeding House: Try to build a special place in a nature reserve to care for Pokémon, specifically to rescue injured Pokémon, provide them with food and a good environment for laying eggs.

The following morning, Raven summoned Geralt, Lane, Anna, Eriff, and others, giving them instructions on the development plan and reminding them of some important points. After doing all this, Raven did not set off immediately.

He stayed in the territory for three days, and after confirming that everything was running smoothly, Raven left the territory on a quiet afternoon, with Eriff, Geralt, Anna and others watching him go, and embarked on his journey to find Kyurem.

"Your Highness, please allow me and the Double-Axe Dragon to accompany you!" Geralt's eyes were filled with worry.

“Geralt, you have your mission to complete. Those soldiers need your leadership.” Raven shook his head gently. “Don’t worry, with Victini and Hakron around, I’ll be fine.”

“Nini!” Victini nodded repeatedly. Yes, it would definitely protect Raven!

“Your Highness…” Elif hesitated, his words culminating in a single sentence: “Please be careful in all things!”

"Don't worry, Elif."

“Teacher…” Anna’s eyes were filled with reluctance. Zoroark stood beside her, holding a little owl in her arms. It was the second Pokémon partner she had recently caught.

Raven looked at Anna and said to her, "I've given you the information and training methods for the little eagle. Until I return, you must raise it well, understand?"

"Yes!" Anna nodded vigorously. "I will definitely protect the territory!"

Raven smiled. It was getting late. He flipped himself onto an afro-haired buffalo, said goodbye to everyone, and then rode away with a flourish.

As they watched his figure gradually disappear into the distance, Geralt and Elif, apart from Anna, both knew one thing very well.

His Highness Raven has made his decision.

He did not intend to place his hopes on the eldest and second princes, but instead prepared to personally participate in the war that was about to sweep across the entire Unova region.

It wasn't just for himself, but also to protect the humans and monsters living in this place and create a better country.

There will be no more oppression, no more slavery, and humans and monsters can live together peacefully, sharing each other's strength.

Geralt closed his eyes, and images of the townspeople living together with magical beasts flashed through his mind.

The scene depicts soldiers training, eating, and sleeping together with Cocodora and the Blue Cotton Bird.

And in the fields, there are the magical beasts that work alongside the farmers, tending to the crops...

He sensed His Highness's conviction.

As a knight, he and the Twin Axe Dragon will swear to protect Prince Raven's will to the death.

Elif's feelings were incredibly complicated. His Highness had truly grown up!

But with the eldest and second princes having such strong armies, can they really be a match for those two princes?

Eriff was filled with worry.

Anna, however, was filled with fighting spirit.

She had already heard from the merchants from other places that the eldest and second princes were about to start a war.

If the war spreads to Raven City, then everything here will be destroyed.

Anna doesn't want to go back to that kind of life. She just wants to live in this place with Zoroark, Little Eagle, and her mother!

Although His Highness Raven did not want her to participate in the war, Anna was already mentally prepared.

No matter what, she and Zoroark must protect this place where everyone lives together!
