Chapter 674: Preparation for the New Empire

Bunduk’s army stayed in Cumberland for less than half a day before leaving.

The Elf King even personally came to the city gate to send them off.

After half a month, the army led by Bunduk returned to Drondheim.

Kant led the guards of the palace to welcome them and announced that a party would be held in the city tonight.

This was the news Kant had immediately informed the citizens of the city upon receiving the news of victory.

He was preparing a surprise for the victorious soldiers when they returned to Drondheim.

It was also to make everyone feel proud of the soldiers of their country.

“Lord.”

“Lord.”

Upon arriving at the palace’s Senate Hall, Bunduk and Derrick bowed to Kant once again.

“Thank you for your hard work,” Kant consoled them. “Derrick, how do you feel after winning two battles in a row on your first expedition as a new commander?”

“I’m happy that our country’s military is strong. I also feel very pressured by my current position,” Derrick replied.

“It’s normal to feel pressured. It’s good enough to gain confidence from the soldiers under you,” Kant said. “There shouldn’t be any more battles in the near future. You have to familiarize yourself with it in the military camp as soon as possible.”

“Yes, thank you for your wisdom, Lord,” replied Derrick.

Kant nodded and continued to ask them about the details of the march. Then, he let the two of them go back to rest.

Drondheim was filled with lanterns and streamers tonight. The bustle was almost the same as during the New Year.

On the way back, the two met many soldiers who were able to stroll around because of the evening party.

Under the constant invitations of these soldiers, Bunduk and Derrick were also crowded into the restaurant.

“Drink to your heart’s content tonight. It’s my treat,” said Bunduk after sitting in the lead seat and toasting everyone.

“Yoo-hoo!” The soldiers happily banged the table and jeered.

“This, do I have to treat you together with me?” asked Derrick as he leaned into Bunduk’s ear and said carefully.

Bunduk was feeling a little embarrassed by the soldiers’ heckling. When he heard Derrick’s words, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he said apologetically to Derrick, “I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay, I was just saying. No one cares anyway.” After taking a sip of his wine, Derrick said to Bunduk with a smile in his eyes, “Just treat it as you treating me once.”

With that said, Derrick poured the wine glass over and shook it up and down, indicating that Bunduk had finished his drink.

Bunduk smiled and didn’t say anything else.

After Bunduk and Derrick left, Kant sat alone in the hall, correcting the documents until late at night.

After sorting out all the administrative matters for today, Kant took out the topographic map that he had sent to survey the borders.

The founding of the Caradia Empire should indeed be put on the agenda.

Now, in the Nahrin Desert, Drondheim stood alone. The troops wandering in the desert posed no threat to it at all.

The relevant details were ready.

All this was carried out in silence by Kant and several ministers.

Now, it could be announced that it had been confirmed and brought to the surface.

Kant wanted to wait until the army had calmed down from the continuous battles over the past six months before gathering everyone to tell them about the founding of the kingdom.

The original city of the Undead Kingdom had also been completely renovated.

Kant was prepared to set off to see it in a few days. In his impression, the undead had no concept of the public facilities of the city. It was estimated that there were many undeveloped or half-developed resource areas in the main city of the Undead kingdom.

These were also important for the establishment of the Caradia Empire.

Kant imagined the future of the Caradia Empire in his mind.

He felt both excited and uneasy.

It felt like everything was starting to make sense, but he couldn’t figure it out completely.

Kant just let his imagination run wild until he fell asleep.

In the next few days.

Kant would often take time out of the day to go to the military camp to take a look.

These two battles were led by Bunduk. Although it wasn’t obvious, he was pleasantly surprised to be able to obtain such a result.

The spoils of war brought back from Cumberland were indeed astonishing, but what made Kant even happier was that according to Bunduk’s description, Drondheim’s army had gradually mastered the ability to adapt to tactics, and their combat ability was constantly improving.

In order to increase the distance between them and the soldiers, Kant chose to visit the military camp frequently.

“Lord, you’re here again.” Bunduk stepped forward and bowed.

“Your tone makes me feel as if I’ve been here many times,” Kant said with a smile.

Bunduk covered his mouth in panic, then shook his head and said, “I didn’t mean that.”

Kant smiled and asked, “How’s the training in the army recently?”

“I feel that everyone’s physical fitness has improved, and the progress of completing the mission is much faster than before. Now, a few of us are considering whether to increase the difficulty of the training,” Bunduk said in detail.

“That sounds good. What about you? What have you been doing recently? Why is it that the person who came to my place to summarize for me is Derrick?” Kant continued asking.

“I’m training with the soldiers. I feel that this mission suits me quite well. Different things should be handed over to the right person,” Bundk replied.

“Oh?” Kant raised his eyebrows in puzzlement. “If you say that… I don’t know what to say. It’s just that I can clearly sense your lack of confidence in your words.”

“Lack of confidence? I don’t think so,” Bunduk denied.

“Don’t be in a hurry to deny it. Some words are easy to say but difficult to understand. Even if you say it yourself, you may not be able to understand its meaning in your mind,” Kant warned Bunduk with a deep meaning.

Kant had two lifetimes of experience in dealing with people. Standing in front of Bunduk, he could see through his thoughts in an instant.

However, he wanted him to solve it himself and not rely on others.

“I’m going to the Undead Kingdom the day after tomorrow. At that time, if you need to submit any documents, just hand them over to my appointed minister,” Kant changed the topic.

This was another thing that he had come to inform him about recently.

“The Undead Kingdom? Lord, why are you going there?” Bunduk asked in surprise when he heard this news.

“The place is almost repaired. I’m going to take a look at the results,” Kant replied casually.

“Oh, Lord, will you be staying there for a long time?”

“No, I’ll probably be back in less than a month,” Kant replied. “I’ll leave the army to you.”

“Yes, my Lord,” Bunduk bowed.

Kant helped him up and bid him farewell.
