Great news! The Duke and Duchess have reconciled.
The news quickly spread throughout Emerald Valley.
Joanna and Edward, being very perceptive, quietly left.
Looking at Arthur again, with the same face, Li Ellie felt a different emotion.
1,000 years of life experience have shed his youthful naiveté.
Time is the whetstone that polishes a man.
However, Li Aili dared not ask him how he had spent the past thousand years.
The destroyed holy dragon, the dead relatives, the erased history—he faced it all alone.
Hatred, loneliness, longing...
"Don't leave for the next few days."
Li Aili wanted to suggest that she stay here for a few months.
But they were also afraid of delaying Arthur's important business.
Judging from their surnames, the six great empires of today are the traitors who were granted fiefdoms and titles back then.
Albert was resurrected, and Arthur regained the surname of the Holy Dragon.
Presumably, the six great empires will not be at peace for long.
Arthur released his grip on Ellie and leaned down to kiss the top of her head.
"What are you thinking about?"
Li Aili held Arthur's large hand, "Haven't I shown you the territory yet?"
It's like a young couple about to get married dreaming about their future together in a bare-bones apartment.
Li Aili, holding the tall duke's hand, began to introduce her territory one by one.
"This is the planting area. Um, there are some minor problems here right now."
Crops irrigated with 'growth-boosting agents' are so tough that harvesting them is a real struggle.
Thomason, leading the fully armed Campbell Street natives, gathered in an open space outside the cornfield.
All of these people had their faces covered in grime.
Wearing armor dyed the color of earth, with camouflage weeds covering their backs.
From a distance, they look like a row of turtles.
Arthur: "..."
Li Aili: "...Let me explain. They're usually quite normal."
"I guess it's because the corn is ripe and they need to harvest it, so..."
Arthur: "Picking corn?"
The well-informed duke frowned as he watched the group of people who were all lying on the ground, slowly crawling into the cornfield on all fours.
"Ah~~~~~~~" A group of passing children shouted happily.
"Captain Thomason and the others are harvesting corn!!"
At this time, the adults all have to work.
The people who gathered around to watch were all children.
Soon, Arthur and his friends were surrounded by a circle of radish heads of all sizes.
These children were refugees escorted to the territory by that troublesome knight.
When Li Aili saw these children, some previously unremembered memories suddenly began to 'attack' her.
Oh, right!!!
That knight who confessed to her out of the blue!!!
That person, she remembered, she seemed to have casually let that person live in the territory!
Aaaaaaahh ...
Li Aili glanced guiltily at her boyfriend beside her.
At this moment, Arthur is studying why he disguises himself as a tortoise when harvesting corn.
Arthur: "..."
Currently, all he can see is that the crops have become unusually large after the alchemical potion was used.
He had some prior information as well.
The minotaur Bakkin has already begun establishing trade relations with the surrounding lords.
The Emerald Valley trades these enormous quantities of agricultural products.
Not only the lords of neighboring countries, but even he received news of the huge crop.
The news spread like wildfire among the upper class.
This is also something Arthur is worried about.
Abundant food reserves can attract the covetous eyes of greedy lords, thus triggering wars.
Moreover, the crops Ellie grows are almost identical to the giant crops grown by the cloud giants.
That greedy minotaur, in order to make more money, also used the name of the Cloud Giant's crops.
This further increases the possibility of war.
Although this place is next to Tankar, it is still some distance away.
“Let’s build a teleportation array first, Ellie,” Arthur suddenly suggested.
Li Aili, whose heart was in her throat: "!!!"
Why did you suddenly think of this?
"Uh! I mean repair! We absolutely have to repair the teleportation array!"
I subconsciously stroked my boyfriend's hair, QAQ.
“Alright. I’ll send a message to Albert in a bit and have him send a team to fix it.”
After saying that, Arthur began to observe the corn in the cornfield.
The corn in the field, the corn stalks alone are at least seven or eight meters tall, and the stalks are covered with huge corn cobs.
An ear of corn, without exaggeration, is about as tall as a person.
Each one weighs at least a hundred pounds.
Just as Arthur was wondering why they didn't plant more, one of the harvesting team members who climbed in made a mistake.
With a crisp 'snap', Pete, who had crawled into the cornfield, looked at the captain at the front, Thomason, with a look of despair.
He accidentally broke a dead tree branch.
Thomason gave him a common underworld gesture: Brother, have a safe journey.
Then, the bizarre scene unfolded.
All the corn around them, like autofocused cannons, were aimed at Pete.
Pete: "..."
The next second, these cannons—oops, these corn cobs—were like Gatling guns, aimed at the huge trump card that was completely tucked into its back.
Good heavens!
It looks even more like it now!!!
Li Aili's face turned slightly red.
My boyfriend's men are all tall and imposing knights, but my men look so different!?
Then, she didn't have time to think about it anymore.
The corn cobs used their kernels as bullets, firing a barrage of shots at unfortunate Pete.
