Chapter 648: Unusual Rapid Construction
In the elven colony, the news of Commander Bunduk’s complete victory quickly spread to the main city of Drondheim.
Kant was currently having his usual afternoon tea. When he received the news of Bunduk’s victory, he immediately smiled in victory.
The significance of this battle was extraordinary and incomparable. Commander Bunduk did not make the same mistake as Commander Pam. This was the most meaningful thing for Kant, he was prepared to celebrate the return of Commander Bunduk throughout the country.
Therefore, he quickly issued orders to the merchants in the city-state. These merchants had a large number of funds in the city-state, but they still needed the protection of the city-state. Therefore, when they heard the news of Commander Bunduk’s victory, they were naturally overjoyed. The merchants all united and prepared to hold a grand welcome.
In the evening, when the Sun in the sky was about to set at the foot of the mountain, a group of people appeared in the main city of Drondheim.
Commander Bunduk looked so high-spirited. At this moment, his young soldiers were all wearing proud smiles. These young soldiers did not disappoint Kant, which was also something that made Kant feel extremely gratified.
On this day, all the drinks in the main city of Drondheim were free. Everyone was celebrating in the entire country. They shouted, in order to celebrate the victory of Commander Bunduk, they seemed to have forgotten the sacrifice of Commander Pam and his 1,000 cavalry soldiers a few days ago. The lights were on throughout the night, and the drinks were scattered in the air. Everyone seemed to have forgotten the existence of the day.
In the city-state, there were countless performances. The young soldiers were praised by the residents. In an instant, they became the heroes of Drondheim overnight.
Commander Bunduk and Lord Kant were at the tea party at the moment.
Kant took a sip of the wine in his hand and said to Commander Bunduk, “All the credit for achieving such a victory should go to Commander Bunduk!”
Upon hearing Kant’s praise, Bunduk immediately sat up straight, he said, “Thank you, Lord Kant, for your praise, but this time, the credit is not mine alone. I rely more on the confident soldiers and the leadership of the great Lord Kant. Otherwise, we would not be able to see the dawn of victory.”
In terms of flattery, no one could compare to Bunduk. He could push all the credit for one thing onto others as if he had no credit at all.
Kant smiled and said, “Commander Bunduk, aren’t you being too polite? If I say it’s your credit, it’s your credit. Tell me, what reward do you want, beauty, money, or more…”
Kant looked at Bunduk with a faint smile.
Bunduk admitted that his forehead was covered in sweat. He had to be careful when talking to this troublesome lord. Otherwise, one day he might lose his head. This was definitely not the result he wanted.
Bunduk shook his head like a leaf fan and replied to Lord Kant, “My Lord, I don’t need any rewards. To be able to obtain honor for Drondheim, to be able to obtain victory for Lord Kant, and to keep the peace in Drondheim is the greatest reward for me. If I really have to be rewarded, then I hope that Lord Kant can continue to lead Drondheim on the road of prosperity and strength!”
Bunduk said a lot of things at once, and Kant was at a loss for words.
It was indeed as Bunduk had said. Right now, Drondheim was not strong enough, and this victory was just a fluke. It was the same for Drondheim and the elven colony, they should not have put up lanterns and banners for such a thing. This would instead cause more people and soldiers to be caught off guard. Drondheim’s fields were also very limited, except for some who grew millet and rice, there were only about 100 acres left to grow other vegetation, and the food had to be provided to all the residents.
Although the city of Drondheim was close to the lake, the lake water had been showing signs of drying up recently, which was very unfavorable. It seemed that Drondheim would not be a good place to live soon.
That was why Kant would pay any price to ask the king of the elven colony to use 15% of the land in exchange. Although the elven colony was small, the freshwater resources around it were much more than Drondheim’s, in addition to the special physique of the elves, they rarely needed to drink freshwater, which resulted in the waste of freshwater. In addition, many fields in the elven colony could not be improved, and those fields were not cultivated in a timely manner, they would soon lose their value for use.
These were all factors Kant considered. Kant also wanted to take over the Lyme Empire, so that Drondheim could connect to the elven colony and not be afraid of someone interfering.
Kant’s idea was very ideal, but he did not know if it would have any value if it was implemented. This was not something he could accurately predict at the moment, however, taking back 15% of the elven colony’s territory was indeed an urgent matter.
After a night of indulgence, Kant personally led more than a thousand soldiers to the elven colony. He was going to complete the task of handing over the territory.
When he arrived at the elven colony, Kant saw that the people here were in deep trouble.
The elven colony had always been known as a rich place. They used to be a utopia in this desert, but now, there were shabby houses, the cries of the old and young elves could be heard everywhere on this land, it was like a living hell.
Kant slowly stepped on this land. He did not have the ability to change the current situation of this land. The reason why these elves had fallen to such a state was largely due to the wrong leadership of the Elf King. Although the Elf King was a kind-hearted elf, he still did not have the ability to govern this piece of land. Although he had a high-level rank, he was too weak that he couldn’t even kill the undead soldiers.
Kant met the Elf King in the royal palace.
He politely stepped forward and shook hands, saying, “Your Highness, you have been glowing recently. As expected, after winning the war, your spirit has changed.”
The Elf King laughed and said, “This is all thanks to the leadership of Commander Bunduk. Without him, I believe that the elven colony would have fallen into the hands of the undead soldiers by now.”
Bunduk looked outside and said, “Elf King, I wonder if there are still undead soldiers coming to attack?”
