Chapter 3156: Transylvania’s 300 Heroes Achievement Unlocked (Part 2)

Once the trade route is established, my people can sit atop the Gold Mountain and enjoy a good life.

This should all be attributed to you and Governor Milian; previous lords wouldn’t have cared about us.”

“Why thank me? I’m just a warmonger.”

Murphy humbly waved his hand and said:

“Without the cooperation of the Mountain People, no matter how good Milian’s policies are, they couldn’t be implemented. So all of this is well-deserved, especially the crucial role you played cannot be overlooked. You are a competent Mountain People Leader, Ellen. Your parents would surely be proud of you. Speaking of which, you just returned, did you not visit your parents? How are they doing?”

“It’s still the same. The shameful Little Mummy hasn’t been able to break the undead ceremony of Westerburg, they still cannot gain freedom. But when I visited my parents last night, I heard my mother say that she can feel the constraints of this undead ceremony on them are weakening, and Nifytelli also promised that as soon as they return to the Origin Land, she will immediately request Priest Chief Bayek to send powerful religious friends to help.”

Little Sheron flapped her wings and hovered, saying to Murphy:

“Then, Westerburg will officially become Transylvania’s Holy Land of Death. I have informed several most influential elders among the Mountain People of this news, they had many words about it, thinking it violated ancient traditions. But upon hearing that the establishment of the Holy Land of Death would allow the deceased good people to enter the Netherworld to enjoy posthumous peace, these elders tacitly chose to support it. After all, they are getting older and need to consider their own afterlife matters.”

The Xike Countess revealed a cunning smile.

She gazed at the direction of Westerburg on the grassland below from the mountain and softly said:

“You are heading to the Origin Land to celebrate the Pharaoh King’s birthday, I believe that upon your return, the Mountain People will have a new tradition, one that is out of sync with the teachings of the Spirit of the Mountain Woods but won’t be rejected by people. After all, not every devout Mountain People person is qualified to enter the Divine Kingdom of the God of Avalon after death, under the pressure of death, knowing that one will go to a good place after dying, the living will also be filled with courage and spontaneously perform more good deeds. Oh, by the way, there’s another matter I must report to you.”

Little Sheron looked around, lowered her voice, and said to Murphy:

“The elders are planning something big!

The reason is that the Goldenrod Kingdom’s army is once again searching the mountains in the Saxon Region, hoping, as before, to drive out the Mountain People hidden in the woods and seize their land. Underneath that forest, extensive reserves of burnt mineral veins have already been discovered, and after the collapse of the Brass Dwarves’ power, King Louis clearly wishes to concentrate these strategic resources in his own hands.

But this time, the Mountain People from the Saxon Region decisively sent people to cross borders and request assistance from the Ancestral Woodland.

Under real pressure, they’re willing to offer their lands to the elders of the Ancestral Woodland for management, in exchange for our support, and the elders have decided to assist our compatriots, the Spirit of the Mountain Woods also did not oppose this decision.

Currently, several Elder Clan’s young and strong members are being gathered and armed, the elders are also planning to recruit retired Mountain Soldiers to serve as commanders.

They all know under your leadership, the militia struck hard against the Wolf People at the Maginot Line, therefore those Mountain People veterans are also given duties.

My people are very supportive of aiding the Saxon Region’s compatriots; you know, in our perception, the Mountain People of the Saxon Region and we share the same Origin, they’re our brothers and sisters, previously we were weak and couldn’t intervene.

But now it’s different.

The Exploration Corps has gone to the Kato area, they don’t have enough troops to support an operation in the Saxon Region, thus as long as the Mountain People unite, we might be able to drive out all the Goldenrod invaders currently encroaching on the ancient mountains in the Saxon Region.

I have asked Lord Qin for an analysis.

He told me this is a strategic opportunity, once the Dwarf Marshal returns to the Pioneer Fortress, our people will no longer have a chance to initiate large-scale resistance.”

“Hmm, due to diplomatic pressure, Transylvania cannot actively provoke military conflict with the Goldenrod Kingdom at this time.”

Murphy said with a stern expression:

“Therefore the People’s Army cannot support your operations, however, the Crimson Castle official expresses full understanding and moral support for the Mountain People’s actions in the Saxon Region to seek national independence; we’re closely monitoring the developments there and will urge the Goldenrod Kingdom’s officials to ensure the basic rights of the Mountain People.”

“Ah?”

Little Sheron was dumbfounded.

She couldn’t quite understand this diplomatic rhetoric, and seeing her clear eyes, Murphy had to hint:

“Regular forces can’t be mobilized, but civilian militias are not restricted, especially adventurers who are bored and love to cause trouble. As the Feast of the Crazy Fish continues, the Merfolk in the Kato area simply aren’t enough to go around for them, next they might continue hunting near Lake Xiuerpres, or they’ll find some work for themselves; I can’t possibly take them all to the Origin Land. Do you understand what I mean? Additionally, the People’s Army has just completed re-equipping, leaving a large number of replaced Blood Vulture Claws on the Ligurian Peninsula to arm local resistance fighters. These weapons have already been entrusted to the Strategic Investment Department under the Perfect Shipping Company for handling, Captain Paula has appointed her trusted confidant to contact buyers for that batch of old weapons…”
