Chapter 2821: Chapter 1206: Like Father, Like Daughter

This Castle Knight Defense Line in Tesser Kingdom’s peak period was indeed effective.

When small monster incursions happened, those Lords who watched over each other could eliminate them.

For large monster armies, those Lords who held their ground and waited for aid were like nails firmly planted, preventing them from moving freely until the Royal Family’s army arrived.

When the Royal Family fell into decline, and monsters attacked in large numbers, those local Lords couldn’t wait for reinforcements and were gradually devoured, as Nort Castle lasted relatively long, not due to strength, but because of its good geographical advantage, being close to inland and protected by twin rivers, eventually forcing a complete evacuation.

Now Gaven directly solved it from the root, with the high mountain races guarding, those monster races could not peacefully thrive in the Marching Mountains.

Unable to form a scale, naturally, they cannot cause harm.

This matter is definitely not just about reducing military disasters; the Marching Mountains are the source of the Asiji River, with seven or eight tributaries coming out from here, converging, with a network of rivers crossing and compensating, possessing a large amount of fertile land.

Due to frequent invasions, this place is either forcibly abandoned or has no chance to be cultivated.

As long as the safety of the Marching Mountains is ensured, it can absolutely become a human living paradise, not only can establish a large number of territories, but at least can give rise to two to three large cities.

"There’s one thing I must clarify in advance," Gaven said unhurriedly, "Whether it’s Earth City or the Golia Legion, they are in the initial construction stage; seeing the results will require massive investments."

He fought for Kellysha’s legal status, not purely for a name, but for tangible benefits.

As a border fortress, especially one that produces little like Mountain City, Earth City not only doesn’t need to pay taxes to the Kingdom, but must also extract a large amount of economic aid and military funds from the Kingdom.

Originally, this task was Zalanda’s.

Since they want to play political games, don’t expect to gain without paying.

The current situation is very much like using others’ money to raise one’s own children.

If Harried were a shortsighted person, Gaven would really worry whether he would accept it.

Now it seems there is no need to worry, this Prince is smart enough to recognize the value of Earth City and will actively persuade those four Dukes to jointly support the development and construction of this Mountain City.

Just as expected.

Prince Harried said repeatedly, "The construction of Earth City will be my top priority, after the Governance Council is established, it will be the first proposal."

"That’s good, you continue," Gaven retreated behind Zalanda again, preparing to return to an indifferent observer state.

"Wait..." Prince Harried seized the opportunity to ask, "I plan to invite the Great Druid of Moss Stone City and Lord Raymond of Ruitawen to join the Governance Council, what’s your opinion?"

From a brief contact, He keenly observed a fact.

This Road Demigod was the real core of this force, while Lord Zalanda was just the proxy pushed to the forefront.

To truly accomplish something, his consent and recognition are needed.

"You shouldn’t consult me on this matter, but rather ask their own and the opinion of the Amm Kingdom’s Six-Person Council!" Gaven’s stance towards this was completely opposite to that of Earth City.

Because there are no benefits to gain.

Whether Moss Stone City or Ruitawen, they belong to developed cities, situated on trade routes, joining the Governance Council would require paying taxes to the Royal Family.

Gaven didn’t close the matter outright; everything ultimately depends on interests.

If maintaining the current situation yields greater benefits, naturally, there’s no need to join.

The Governance Council isn’t playing democratic voting where more votes pass and fewer votes reject.

Ultimately, it still comes down to both sides’ strengths.

Just with Zalanda and Kellysha joining forces, it’s enough to balance the four Dukes, and vice versa.

"Hehe..."

The clear and crisp sound of a baby’s laughter interrupted what Prince Harried was about to say next, and everyone turned to look, seeing an incredible scene.

A rosy, chubby baby girl was swiftly crawling on the ceiling like a spider.

"There’s a spy." The Barrel Knight next to Prince Harried reacted first, heavily striking the shield armor.

The roaring face composed of various gemstones seemed alive, letting out a roar, and a substantial wave of Qi flew towards the baby girl.

For ordinary people, this would definitely be a ghostly scene.

In their eyes, it was commonplace; they’ve witnessed things far more terrifying and eerie.

"Stop!" Gaven and Zalanda shouted in unison.

Especially Gaven, faster than the voice.

He flickered, positioning his back before the wave, Combat Armor at the ready, his body enlarging by double.

Boom!

The roaring wave slammed solidly, and Gaven flew forward uncontrollably.

He completely disregarded this, focusing his gaze intensely on the baby girl on the roof.

Stretching his arms, he went to catch and protect her.

But just a second before the touch, the baby girl let out another tinkling laugh, flickered, and appeared in another corner the next second.

"Damn!" Gaven couldn’t help but curse, changed his stance, protecting his head with his hands, his body curling as much as possible.
