7 KINGDOMS: conquest
92.return to the crystal city

Noran and Garuda fly out of the region of Urelus. The construction of the castle and the management of the city he left to Herton and Herriot.

After all, he had done that too. So, he can definitely handle it. 20,000 gold coins were also arranged by Herton for construction.

After several hours of flying, Noran finally reached the crystal city. The bustling atmosphere of the city, how much he missed this place.

The two descended behind the mansion, making everyone become shocked.

In fact, 100 Dark Order troops became on standby and surrounded him. They only realized that there was Noran on top of the big bird.

"Master!" say they're in unison.

100 Dark Order soldiers gathered, with shields in their left hands and touching the ground. Meanwhile, in his right hand was tightly clasped with an upright and shiny black spear.

Bruck...

"are you having fun?" ask Noran.

It seemed that Garuda was pleased with their welcome and raised his head. Noran then went down and walked towards the inside of the mansion.

Sin, Lisa, Grim and Mike are seen gathering at the mansion's doorstep.

Dozens of servants also lined up neatly along the mansion after the door.

"You're back" Lisa said.

He smiled and greeted Noran warmly. The three men smiled and saluted.

They bend a few degrees with one hand on the chest, while the other hand is behind his back.

"Welcome back, sir." said the three.

Noran nodded, he then walked into the mansion. During his walk in he asked how the situation of Crystal city and other cities was.

From the reports of Sin and Mike, it seems like the current situation of 3 cities is very good. And also, the construction in the city of Corton had been completely completed.

There were no reports of population shortages this winter.In fact, the economy of the Barliester region and other regions rose.

"There is still one more month, make sure all residents are in good condition" Noran said.

"Okay sir." replied Sin and Mike.

"Mike, can you prepare 3000 thick clothes?" ask Noran.

"I'll do it, sir." said Mike.

"And for you Sin, I want you to prepare an alliance army as soon as possible" Noran said.

"Well, I will prepare you soon" said Sin.

The two immediately went and carried out Noran's orders. He wondered what the city of Turin was like.

"What's that shit?" ask Lisa.

Noran looked at Garuda outside the mansion, as if Lisa had not known about the bird.

"That's Garuda, one of the divine beasts as well as one of the 3 rulers of the monsters" said Noran.

"Divine beast?!" Lisa was surprised.

He did feel some sort of aura of pressure or dominance from the giant bird. Unexpectedly, the bird was one of the divine beasts.

Noran and Lisa then walked over to Garuda. Divine beasts are generally given names when new to their owners.

Out of curiosity, Lisa then asked the name of this divine beast.

"What's his name?" ask Lisa.

"Yes name." murmured Noran.

He almost forgot the name given to Garuda. A name then flashed through his mind.

"Name is.. Faltra." said Noran.

"Faltra? What a great name." said Lisa.

Aka!!

The blow was quite powerful, making Lisa who only had level 60 pushed back.

Swush...

Noran darted and caught him immediately, for the Dark Order's troops, they could defend easily.

"Be careful when flapping your wings" Noran said.

Kiakka.

Garuda seemed to understand and folded back his wings. Noran then took out quite a lot of the monster meat he had gathered.

Looking at the mass of meat, Faltra felt excited. He pecked one monster's meat, threw it into the air and roasted it before eating it.

Noran and Lisa then enter the mansion, while behind them is seen Grim following.

Noran and Lisa then sit on the sofa, with Grim standing behind them.

"What's the situation right now?" ask Noran.

"Dad is currently at the border, the border situation is getting worse" Lisa said.

"Is that so?" noran.

Several times, it was seen that the two heroes were constantly facing each other. The two divine dragons were also seen fighting each other above the sky.

It makes the war situation even more chaotic. Of the 10 border towns, only 4 are in the hands of the Rosvelt kingdom.

The other 6 cities were already in the hands of the Zugen empire, with casualties reaching 300,000 troops of the Rosvelt kingdom and 250,000 troops of the Zugen empire.

Noran wanted to see how useful the man called the hero was? But on the other hand there were still millions of souls that he had to save.

"Do you want to go to the border again?" ask Noran.

Lisa's body seemed a little shaky, considering the events of the past. It stuck deep in his heart.

Noran clasped Lisa's left hand, however he still felt anger with the situation.

"Don't worry, it won't happen again, I promise." Noran said.

Lisa nodded, feeling calmer and displaying a smile on her face.

"Grim, what about the inns and restaurants that are open?" ask Noran.

"Very good sir, the restaurant and lodging owned by the master is getting famous. All the rooms and tables are always full of nobles and wealthy merchants" said Grim.

"Oh, what about the security?" ask Noran.

"There are already about 10 security personnel in each of the master's premises" Grim said.

Noran nodded, it seemed like the condition of the border continued to deteriorate.Maybe it was not long before he had to join the battlefield.

"Sir, I will prepare dinner first" Grim said.

having just arrived in this city, Grim then went and prepared the best food to serve Noran.

Noran and Lisa then climbed to the top of the second floor, sitting on the balcony and looking at the beautiful crystal lake.

Lisa leaned her head against Noran's shoulder, both of them enjoying the beautiful afternoon lamgit atmosphere.

"Are they on the border?" thought Noran.

He recalled Esline and Alice, perhaps both of them were fighting with the imperial army.

In his heart, he wanted to immediately return to the border and meet them. But there are still a lot of things that he has to take care of.

"I'll be there as soon as possible" Noran thought.
