Raising a Giant Dragon in a Small Remote City! - Chapter 29
On the shoreline to the south of Puba, a large ship carrying the flag of a noble suddenly appeared.
Not long after, the large ship landed on the seashore.
Hundreds of troops got off the ship and moved toward Puba under the lead of a man dressed in noble attire.
Duke Richard Rowan led hundreds of soldiers and arrived at Puba before the sun rose.
They stood at the location marked on the map. There should be three small wooden houses behind them.
When they arrived, he discovered Puba Village stretched as far as the eye could see. Moreover, the village road was crowded with people.
This was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that the village was actually in an orderly manner. There were also sturdy houses made of stone bricks.
Seeing this scene, Richard could not help but frown!
‘Did I come to the right place? I remember half a year ago, there were only three small wooden houses in this place! Now, this place has become a self-sufficient village!’
So he raised his hand and beckoned to his adjutant, saying, “Go in and ask who the village chief is. Tell him to come and see me immediately!”
“Yes, Duke Richard! I’ll go now.”
The adjutant quickly followed a flat path to the village. With the help of the guards, he successfully arrived at the city hall.
Everything along the way shocked him! This was not a village, it was almost comparable to a fully built town!
“Hello! I am Duke Richard’s adjutant. May I know where the village chief is?”
Hearing this, Mortimer immediately stood up and walked out from behind, introducing himself, “I am the acting village chief of this village, Mortimer! May I know why you are looking for me?”
“Ah! Duke Richard wants you to meet him and tell him why such a village has appeared here!”
Hearing this, Mortimer was not happy. Why was their village of any importance to this Duke Richard?
“This place belongs to the Lancelot Empire. I don’t think I need to meet Duke Richard of Ockham Dukedom! Please go back!”
Hearing this, the adjutant immediately pulled out the weapon on his waist.
However, seeing the tall and big guards around him, he endured it, turned around, and left the city hall.
‘I will remember this! A village of only 1,000 people is so arrogant!’
Along the way, he returned to Duke Richard’s side to report.
“Duke, the village chief here refuses to communicate with you and he even said such words! They said that this place belongs to the Lancelot Empire so there’s no need to talk to you at all.”
Hearing the adjutant’s words, Richard was very surprised. The other party actually knew about him and even publicly rejected him!
Looking at the various offensive and defensive equipment in the village, Richard finally knew why they were so calm.
Because this village was not afraid of being invaded at all. They had long been prepared for many wars.
After Richard made his decision, he said to the adjutant beside him, “Have all the soldiers wait here for my orders. Follow me in to meet the village chief!”
“Duke Richard! They are all demi-humans. It’s not safe for you to go in like this!”
Richard stared at the adjutant and said with an evil smile, “If it’s not safe, then what are you here for?”
Hearing this, the adjutant immediately knelt down. After knowing that Duke Richard had walked far away, he stood up and followed.
Under the adjutant’s lead, Duke Richard quickly arrived at the city hall in the center of the village.
Looking at the layout of the entire village, Richard could not help but sigh. This village was really built perfectly.
After meeting Mortimer, Richard was very surprised. He immediately knew who was in charge of this place.
“Long time no see, Butler Mortimer!”
“Duke Richard, long time no see. How did you have time to come to such a place?” Mortimer was not surprised at all. He just did not want to pay attention to the other party.
“How is the First Prince of Lancelot?”
Mortimer smiled and replied, “The Young Master is very well right now. This entire village is his masterpiece. I think you should have noticed something.”
Seeing Mortimer’s calm expression, Richard could not help but be surprised. The man who was obsessed with women all day had finally woken up and smelled the roses?
In order to confirm, Richard immediately said, “I specially came here today to pay a visit to Prince Joshua. I wonder where he is now?”
When the adjutant came, Mortimer had already sent someone to inform Joshua.
At this time, a voice came over, “Long time no see, Duke Richard. What a rare guest!”
Along with Joshua came Lena, Lucy, and Malina. They were all wearing formal clothes and standing behind Joshua.
Seeing this scene, Richard suddenly felt that the Joshua in front of him had changed from before.
After sizing him up, he found that the look in Joshua’s eyes was different from before.
In the past, his eyes were full of lust. But now, they were clear and as intimidating as a deep pool of water.
After one look at each other, Richard found that he had actually lost.
“I’m really sorry, I almost didn’t recognize you after not meeting you for a while! There’s nothing special about coming here today. I just wanted to tell you that this area is no longer owned by anyone!”
“In the future, many countries will come here to build cities and towns. Please take care of yourself, First Prince!”
After saying that, he turned around and left the city hall with his adjutant.
After hearing this news, Joshua could not help but frown!
“Mortimer, send someone to investigate what is going on!”
Before this, on the day that the entire eastern undeveloped land was sealed off, a coup d’état occurred within the Lancelot Empire.
The second Prince of Lancelot led the rebel army and occupied the Imperial Capital, imprisoning King Timothy Lancelot.
From then on, the Second Prince expelled the Third Prince from the country and married off his two younger sisters to neighboring empires.
As for Joshua, who was exiled to the border…
He only ordered his men to seal off the entire undeveloped land in the east and did not proceed with the next step.
However, recently, the Second Prince seemed to have received news that there were dragons in the undeveloped land, so he cut off the entire undeveloped land in the east from the Lancelot Empire!
No one knew why he did this, but this matter quickly spread around the world and the other countries were ready to take action.
They were prepared to get a share of the land first.
However, they did not know that this was the Second Prince’s land. Because developing a piece of land was very costly, the Second Prince deliberately marked out this piece of land.
Greedy people would take this opportunity to develop it. After it was developed, it would be time for the Second Prince to reap the harvest.
