Chapter 1540: Chapter 1540
"We were originally the custodians of the Lord of Battle Valley, rather than the true lords. When the true lord appears, it is only natural to return it to them."
Regina seemed as if this was expected, "In terms of governing the territory, you are far more qualified than my father. I believe in your hands, Battle Valley will develop and grow at a faster pace. It has always been a fine tradition in Battle Valley that the most capable person becomes the lord."
By choosing to temporarily conceal your acquisition of Anka’s legacy from the outside world, some things must be done discreetly. When you bring the Conqueror army back to the Three Rivers Region, my father will appoint you as the acting lord of Battle Valley to handle all the political affairs. He will lead the elite troops deep into Comanso Forest for a long time.
The moment you choose to officially declare your acquisition of Anka’s legacy externally will also be the moment you officially become the Lord of Battle Valley and all cloak warriors emerge from the shadows to swear allegiance to you."
"You have kept an oath for over three centuries." Gaven solemnly respected, "It is incorrect for the world to attribute Anka’s success solely to his personal achievements. Those faithful cloak warriors who followed him also deserve credit."
The families of cloak warriors, led by Lord Ilmet, are the greatest legacy left by Anka.
Time can dissipate many things, but it can also verify many things.
If these families of cloak warriors still adhere to the old oath even after three centuries, then their fidelity is beyond doubt.
After three centuries of growth and spreading, these cloak warrior families are likely distributed not just in Battle Valley, but throughout the entire Valley, even having their reach in the Sambiyan Kingdom.
"Oaths are the foundation of the Valley; we adhere to the oaths established by the standing stones and thereby grow and continue to today. Keeping promises and oaths is also what sets us apart from Sambia."
Regina spoke with pride, "All the Valley People particularly value oaths—they either do not make them, but once they do, they will go to great lengths to fulfill them, even if it means exhausting their entire lives."
Lord Anka has already fulfilled his oath, even if it means burning his soul and life, he must protect his lieges.
Now it’s our turn to fulfill the oath left by our ancestors. Compared to Lord Anka’s dedication, ours is worth little."
"I know what I should do." Gaven nodded knowingly.
Valuing oaths and commitments has always been one of the most noble qualities of the Valley People, and is quite famous throughout Felen.
Fortunately, he himself is a pragmatic person; he prefers to speak with practical results, which aligns well with the temperament of the Valley People. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
"When the heritage was just completed, did anything unusual happen here? Like a black mist rising into the sky?" Gaven naturally referred to that necromancer and dragon sorcery wraith.
Because the previous battle was entirely simulated by True Illusion based on the actual abilities of the parties, he did not use any of his abilities, and naturally could not intercept them. The moment the heritage was completed was also the moment they escaped.
"A second before you came out, there was indeed a fleeting cold black mist around, if I’m not mistaken, that is the necromancer and dragon sorcery wraith sealed by Lord Anka burning his soul as a price, now presumably resurrected in some secluded corner."
Regina was evidently aware of the real situation of Anka Estate, "But we don’t need to worry about them, the Dragon Cult is different now. During their three-century seal, the position of leader in Sambia’s grassroots organization was not vacant but fell into the hands of a dragon sorcery wraith nicknamed Shadow Scream.
The first thing they might do upon resurrection is not cause trouble for us but take back everything belonging to them from Shadow Scream’s hands.
There might be an internal chaos in Sambia’s grassroots organization, even affecting Sambia."
Regina’s speculation is not only reasonable but also quite logical.
The internal power struggles within those evil organizations have always been severe, even becoming merciless dragon sorcery wraith does not exempt them.
Because power often ties with wealth and stronger strength.
Especially that dragon sorcery wraith Alaba, sealed by Anka for contributions to the Dragon Cult. Having accomplished much and not receiving any rewards, even losing things once belonging to them, the anger in their hearts is imaginable.
Regaining everything lost will naturally be their top priority, so they certainly won’t have the time to concern themselves with the Valley or Gaven and his people.
Shadow Scream certainly won’t be like Lord Ilmet, acting for the benefit of all Battle Valley and even the entire Valley, willingly giving up the position occupied for many years.
Even many kind beings do not possess such high awareness, let alone a group of selfish, self-serving, greedy, domineering, colored dragons transformed into dragon sorcery wraiths, where their many original negative traits will be further amplified.
"We cannot be complacent, once they target the ordinary lieges of the Valley, it could likely cause significant casualties." Gaven did not feel complacent just because he easily resolved the necromancer and dragon sorcery wraith in the illusion.
