Chapter 70 - Chapter 70 Town Planning

"Who are you?"

When Geralt clearly saw the person in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Evan's heart tightened. Sure enough... Lord Geralt didn't recognize him, an unknown nobody?

"I was sent by His Highness Draconis!" Evan quickly explained.

Hearing Draconis's name, Geralt's expression instantly became serious.

He carefully scrutinized the man in front of him and asked, "Where is His Highness Draconis now? Is he still safe?"

Evan withdrew his gaze from the terrifying monster next to Lord Geralt, and then once again recounted their experiences after they separated.

This included finding a valley plain, felling trees to build houses, and how His Highness Draconis utilized the power of the Pokémon to solve the food shortage problem through Fishing... Geralt listened carefully, frowning.

When he heard that His Highness Draconis was safe and sound, the long-held tension in his heart immediately relaxed.

Geralt let out a long sigh.

And when he heard how Draconis led his Commoners through that cold winter, and brought everyone to build the territory and treat the injured, Geralt couldn't help but close his eyes.

His Highness had truly grown up.

Compared to The First Prince and The Second Prince in the royal city, His Highness possessed a quality called benevolence.

As the commander of the Knights Order, Geralt was very clear about the current situation within the kingdom.

Given the character of that Prince, their opposition was only a matter of time, and a war across the entire Unova region was almost inevitable.

However, the struggle between the royal family would only harm the Commoners. Their children would be sent to the battlefield, and perhaps even fight against their former neighbors and friends on the battlefield... Geralt, also a Commoner, couldn't help but feel immense sorrow.

Because he knew the prejudiced personalities of those two Princes.

What a pity... Geralt slowly exhaled a turbid breath. No matter what, as long as His Highness Draconis was fine, that was all that mattered.

He would guard His Highness Draconis with his life, even if it meant sacrificing himself!

Geralt looked at Marsha and the others in front of him, carrying large and small bags, ready to go, and said in a deep voice:

"We should set off."

The current construction within the territory had reached a bottleneck.

Due to a lack of manpower, many of Draconis's plans could not be implemented. To do one thing, he had to give up another.

After much thought, Draconis still decided to solve the housing problem first.

"His Highness Draconis, this is Ms. Elena, who previously designed the city layout for the royal city. Perhaps she can offer you help."

Old Butler Ailifu brought a woman in her thirties, full of intellectual charm, before Draconis and introduced her to him.

Draconis nodded slightly: "Hello, madam."

Elena observed The Third Prince in front of her. Although she had seen him long ago, this was the first time she had interacted with him at such a close distance.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness." Elena bowed.

Draconis pushed the nearby map drawn by Christina towards Elena and said:

"Tell me, do you have any ideas for the development of this land and the construction of the town?"

Upon hearing this, Elena looked at the map on the table.

It clearly recorded the terrain and resource locations near this territory.

In an instant, Elena had an idea.

But she didn't explain immediately; instead, she wanted to know the answer to a question.

"Your Highness, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

Draconis was a little surprised, but still gestured: "Speak."

"I remember His Majesty the King granted you a fertile fiefdom. That place, by all appearances, should be more suitable for you, shouldn't it? Is Your Highness planning to stay here and build a completely new territory?" Elena asked.

Regarding this question, Draconis did not answer directly, but instead asked: "What do you think of my two elder brothers?"

Two elder brothers? Wouldn't that be The First Prince and The Second Prince?

Elena was slightly stunned.

In fact, she had seen those two Princes when she was in the palace before.

Although they came from the same family, the personalities of the two Princes were completely opposite, as if they were two natural extremes.

And the facts proved that Elena was not mistaken.

She had actively proposed leaving the royal city on this trip because she could feel the changes in the situation within the palace.

She had even vaguely heard that some Barons and Viscounts of the Knight's territories had begun to take sides, and for those who refused, they implemented swift and decisive measures to deal with them... Given the personalities of those two Princes, they would eventually go to extremes.

At that time, they would inevitably eliminate everyone who hindered their progress, and then contend with each other for victory.

And the location of Virbank Territory... if His Highness Draconis were to go there... Elena instantly understood the meaning of Draconis's words in her mind.

He couldn't escape the struggle for the throne.

Whether he wanted to or not, he would be drawn into it.

Moreover, Virbank Territory was one of the most fertile territories in the kingdom. Once war broke out, it would become a battleground that The First Prince and The Second Prince would fight over.

They had strong military forces; His Highness Draconis had no chance of winning at all.

Draconis observed the changes in Elena's expression. Clearly, she had also grasped the crucial point.

Draconis smiled and spread his hands: "Alright, we don't have that much time to waste. Are you ready, Elena?"

Elena only then came back to her senses, looking at the slightly naive young man in front of her with a complex expression.

Had she just escaped the wolf's den, only to now enter the tiger's mouth?

"Your Highness, the military forces of The First Prince and The Second Prince both overwhelmingly surpass ours..." Elena said, trembling.

Draconis, however, smiled slightly: "Elena, have you ever heard this saying?"

"What?"

"The strength of an army is not in its numbers, but in its quality." A gleam flashed in Draconis's eyes.

This was not the real world, but a world where Pokémon existed.

Although his two convenient brothers held large armies, even including specialized Pokémon soldiers.

But it's important to know that people of this era still had great limitations in their understanding of Pokémon. They simply didn't know how to utilize Pokémon's moves, only knowing how to make strong and robust Pokémon like Aggron wear armor and engage in close combat with the enemy.

In such a large-scale battle, if a well-trained Tyranitar were deployed and ordered to use Earthquake with all its might... or if a Dragonite were to fly into the sky and use a wide-range AoE move like Draco Meteor... it wouldn't be impossible to fight a thousand enemies alone.

The only problem was the Zekrom and Reshiram held by his two brothers.

"I must find Kyurem." Draconis silently formulated a plan in his mind: "Lacunosa Town... Giant Chasm... I wonder if Lacunosa Town in this era is called Lacunosa Town."

Elena fell silent.

After a long while, she let out a helpless sigh and said, "Leave it to me!"

Eindoak was situated on a high mountain, and even with such high construction difficulty, she was able to design such a prosperous and magnificent town there.

Now, in this place, there was nothing that could stump her!
