The journey to New Tulip City was naturally uneventful.
Just three days later, Nalant led his team to New Tulip City.
The so-called New Tulip City is actually just a name.
The real city wall is still less than half completed.
And the city wall is like Nalant's Stormwind City, where construction of the inner city began first.
As for the outer city, it is estimated that it will not be able to reach a large scale within a few years. \./hand\./machine\./version\./first\./issue\./update\./new~~
When Nalant arrived outside New Tulip City, all the vassals of the Tulip family had arrived and set up camp in the open space outside the city.
"Baron Narante!"
"Baron Narante!"
As Nalant moved forward, nobles, whether they were familiar with him or not, sent respectful greetings.
Even many young nobles looked at Nalant with admiration in their eyes.
Since the migration, Nalant's reputation among these vassal and minor nobles has reached a peak.
In this way, when many aristocratic young people saw Zhuang Kang in the past, in addition to envy, they would definitely feel jealous.
But now this jealous thought cannot arise at all.
After all, one is an ant on the ground and the other is an eagle in the sky. The gap between them makes these young nobles look up and realize that they will never achieve it in this life.
Nalant responded politely to the greetings of these vassals and minor nobles, and did not feel superior to others because of his own strength.
In this way, Nalant's casual gesture immediately made all the little nobles feel at ease, and they all praised Nalant privately.
"My Lord Count!"
“Well, you’re here, Narant!”
Bernard also happened to lead the team out of the city at this moment.
Upon seeing this, Narant immediately came forward to greet him.
"Yes, Lord Earl, I was worried that I would be late, but now it seems just right!" In order to wait for enough magic cannons and carriages to be completed, Nalant came here at the right time.
"It won't be too late. Narant, you came just in time. But Narant, are those the Goblins you captured later?"
Bernard's eyes were naturally attracted to the thousands of green-skinned goblins in Nalant's team at this time.
The other ones are the more than thirty one-eyed trolls.
"Yes, Lord Earl, those are goblins. They were all at peace after being captured, so they were brought with them on the expedition this time!"
"Hey, what is that?"
As soon as Nalant finished his explanation, Bernard suddenly saw several strange-shaped cars behind the team.
This car is naturally Nalant's magic carriage.
It's just that this magic carriage doesn't need horses to pull it forward, so Bernard was a little surprised.
In fact, it's not just Bernard. The surrounding little nobles have already been talking about it, but they just don't dare to ask.
"My lord, the Goblins are a race good at making all kinds of utensils!"
"After I captured them this time, I asked them to forge a few of these 'carriages' for me." Although this carriage has no horses, it is driven by a kind of energy stone called magic crystal and can run like a carriage. quick. "
"There is such a magical existence!" Bernard's understanding of this sacred continent is not as thorough as Nalant's.
"Yes, but it is magical, but this thing is a bit expensive. The magic energy crystal costs three thousand gold coins each!"
"hiss!"
Following Nalant's words, some of the surrounding little nobles who were eavesdropping took a breath.
Three thousand gold coins each, wouldn't the carriage need just one gold coin?
I am afraid that most of these small nobles do not have such a net worth...
"Narant, you are so rich!" Bernard secretly exclaimed and praised Narant with a smile.
Fortunately, Nalant is now his son-in-law, otherwise he, the earl, might feel aggrieved.
After all, it feels really uncomfortable to be compared to one's own vassals.
Although Nalant is not actually his vassal now.
"Let's go.

, Narant, let’s go meet your father now and get ready to set off! "
Soon, Nalant followed Bernard to the center of the camp outside the city, and his cheap father Andrew was also there.
Today's Andrew is really worthy of his father and his son, and has become the most dazzling existence among the tulip vassals.
Whether he is an in-law with the earl or his son has a great future, this can be regarded as the first vassal of the Tulip Territory.
"Father!"
"Little Narant, you're here!" Andrew patted Narant's shoulder with love on his face.
Although Nalant's wings have grown hard now, he is still his son Andrew.
So, this is his pride and glory.
"Yes, father, how is your territory lately?"
"Father's territory is very good. Narant, you don't have to send so many supplies to father in the future!"
"My father has enough food and materials to build a castle, and your location in the Storm Territory is even more dangerous, so the most important thing is that you keep these materials for yourself to build a city!"
"Father, my Stormwind City is already under construction and there is no shortage of supplies, so feel free to use it!" Nalant waved his hand.
"Okay Narant, Andrew, let's go!"
The two father and son chatted for a while. Bernard had confirmed that all the vassals had arrived and was ready to break camp and set off.
"Yes, Lord Earl!"
Woohoo!
As the horn sounded, tens of thousands of tulips set off and headed north.
This time, they won't stop on the way.
If it were in the past, they would definitely need to join up with other nobles from the Glory Continent, or at least join up with the armies of the earls from the original Agate Principality.
But now those nobles are nominally affiliated with the six empires, so they will follow the imperial team on their expeditions.
The only exceptions are Narant and Bernard.
In the past, I heard that the Holy Continent was vast, but in fact, few of the nobles in the Glory Continent had any deep impression.
But after this trip, everyone really realized it.
Because it took them a month just to travel. First\./issued\./updated\./new`..mobile version
Nalant and the others first headed north. When they walked out of the border of the Black Rock Plain, they then headed west via other principalities.
On this day, as more and more noble troops were encountered around them, Nalant and others knew that the Thorn Fortress was about to arrive.
"Narant, Stella will also be in the team this time. You can follow me to meet Stella later!"
"Is Stella here too? Okay, Lord Earl!" Nalant responded immediately after hearing the words, and he was also a little excited.
All in all, he had not seen Stella for more than half a year since they were separated last time.
Moreover, the letters he wrote to Stella seemed to have disappeared, and he never received a reply from Stella.
If he hadn't gotten the news about Stella's safety from Bernard, Nalant would have even gone to the Holy City to look for Stella himself.
"Alas, pity my Stella, because we are too weak, we actually let her stay alone in the sacred city!"
"Originally, the Holy Alliance allowed me to stay in the Holy City and even prepared a manor for me!"
"But I know that if I really give up my territory and stay in the Holy City without developing my territory, then I will probably be imprisoned in that city by the Holy Alliance for the rest of my life!"
"Although it won't be of much use if I return to the territory to run the business now, at least there is hope!"
"Fortunately, Nalant, you have also brought me a glimmer of hope!"
Speaking of his daughter, Bernard couldn't help showing a trace of sadness.
As a father, he must be very sad to see his daughter imprisoned in the holy city but unable to do anything.
But this sadness is of no use, because he is too weak to change the current situation.
"Don't worry, Lord Earl, I will work hard to improve my strength. One day, we will be able to reach a point where the Holy Alliance cannot be ignored!"
Narant could understand how Bernard felt. .

And he himself felt aggrieved.
His fiancée was placed in the Holy City by the Holy Alliance, although there were no worries about safety and supplies.
However, personal freedom is restricted, and even direct contact with her fiancé is restricted.
He works so hard to improve in order to break this situation one day.
As he spoke, Thorn Fortress finally appeared in front of him.
At the end of the sky, there is a mountain range stretching for dozens of miles.
And in the only gap in the mountain range, there is a magnificent fortress.
This fortress is the first fortress for the Holy Alliance to separate the dark creatures.
At this moment, outside the Fortress of Thorns, there were already densely packed camps that could not be reached as far as the eye could see.
These camps belong to the major principalities and empires of the alliance.
tap!
tap!
"Your Excellency, we are the Holy Alliance Joint Cavalry. We are responsible for the order of the camp stationed in the Thorn Fortress. I don't know which principality you belong to, so we can arrange the camp for you!"
At this moment, hundreds of cavalrymen rushed in front of Nalant and the others.
The captain of the cavalry team approached and immediately asked Narant and others.
"We are not a principality team, we are from the Tulip Earldom from the Black Rock Plains!" Bernard stepped forward and responded after hearing this.
"Early Tulip!" The cavalry captain looked a little strange when he heard this.
Then he said: "Then please come with me, the camp for you in the Tulip Territory has been arranged!"
Immediately, the guard captain led Nalant and Tulip's team towards the Thorn Fortress. \./hand\./machine\./version\./no\./wrong\./first\./post~~
About half an hour later, they arrived at the edge of the camp outside the fortress.
Just when Nalant and others thought that an open space ahead would be their camp this time, the cavalry did not stop.
"Everyone, this open space has been allocated to other principalities. Your camp is located over here!"
Nalant and Bernard looked at each other after hearing this, but didn't say much.
Then he continued to follow the cavalry team along the edge.
This walk lasted for more than twenty minutes. When they reached the farthest distance from the fortress gate and were close to the forest adjacent to the camp, the cavalry team stopped.
"Everyone, we are here, this is your camp!"
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first!"
At this moment, the cavalry captain pointed to the open space in front of the woods and spoke to Nalant and others.
Nalant and Bernard looked at the open space and immediately frowned.
The reason is simple, just forget that this open space is more remote.
But this turned out to be in a forest that had just been cut down.
The clearing was full of protruding tree stumps.
It would be troublesome to set up a tent in such a camp, let alone have so many carriages to pull through it.
"Your Excellency, I'm afraid this open space cannot be used as a temporary camp. Look at those tree stumps that can barely even set up a tent!" Narant asked.
"Sorry everyone, I was just following orders. If you are dissatisfied with this, you can go to the fortress and find the alliance logistics manager responsible for the allocation of positions!"
"Your Excellency, if there is nothing else, I will leave first!"
With that said, the cavalry captain turned around and led the team to leave.
Just as Nalant wanted to stop him, he was stopped by Bernard.
"Forget it, Nalant, we are just stationed here temporarily, we can just stay here for a day or two!"
"Lord Earl, these guys are clearly targeting them deliberately!"
Narant was a little unhappy.
There was obviously a lot of open space in the camp that they passed before, which was more than enough to accommodate the group of people from the Tulip Leader. However, the other party deliberately brought them here, and Nalant felt that it was a deliberate attack.
"Haha, look, is that a Goblin over there?"
While Nalant was talking to Bernard, several nobles watching the excitement came not far away, pointing at them and yelling.
"Yes, it's Goblin.

, Haha, it’s so funny that he actually brought goblins to participate in the battle. Which nobleman is so funny! "
"Don't you know, that's the Tulip Family's team, and it seems that the Storm Leader's team is also among them."
"Oh? The Tulip family, the family of the Prophet Goddess? The Storm Territory? That's the little country noble who deliberately goes against our Bach Empire!"
"That's right, hehe! Do you know why they were arranged to camp in that tree stump? It's because they offended our Bach Empire!"
"When the alliance was planning the temporary camp a few days ago, it found that there was not enough open space for the camp, so it cut down a lot of woods!"
"And these woods would have been where a smaller team from the small principality would be stationed."
"But our eldest prince proposed that the weakest force be stationed."
"Because our principality of the Holy Alliance, even though the number of people is sparse, is stronger than some noble teams from the countryside."
"So...haha, you understand!"
The laughter over there was not suppressed deliberately, and Nalant and others were allowed to hear it without any scruples.
The small nobles of the Tulip family were all indignant when they heard this, but despite their strength, they dared not speak out.
After Nalant heard this, his expression immediately turned cold. \./hand\./machine\./version\./first\./issue\./update\./new~~
This is deliberately provoking myself.
"What did you just say?" Nalant took a step forward and spoke coldly to the small nobles of the Bach Empire over there.
"Haha, we said that the weak only deserve this worst camp. Is there anything wrong?"
"By the way, are you the Nalant from the Storm Territory?"
Several people faced Nalant's questioning, but they still didn't take it seriously. .
