Chapter 192: It Is Not a Good Thing for the King to Be Too Wise

Through this war, a lot of deficiencies in the kingdom's military system were discovered.

Although the new generation of noble knights received a good education, they had not experienced real wars, and were more like fools who could only talk about war on paper in terms of tactical arrangements.

In addition, although the Knight School taught courses such as battlefield science and elementary command science, these knowledge were more limited to small-scale deployment of troops and lacked consideration of the overall strategic situation of the entire kingdom.

This made it difficult for students to make wise decisions when facing large-scale wars, let alone formulate effective strategic plans.

But Alvis was also helpless. He had already shaken the cake of most nobles by building the Knight School.

If the knowledge of advanced command science was spread, I am afraid that nobles all over the country would have to disobey his orders.

Although the Magic Dragon Knight was powerful, the Emerald Kingdom was by no means a one-man show.

In particular, there were pairs of hungry wolves staring at the Emerald Kingdom outside, and they wanted to bite off a piece of meat from the Emerald Kingdom at all times.

Whether it is the Mountain Copper Kingdom or the Blazing Steel Kingdom, they all want to become stronger by stepping on the corpse of the Emerald Kingdom.

Alvis could kill all the nobles and promote a group of new nobles, but as long as the class interests change, they will stand on the opposite side of Alvis.

In the end, it is still a waste of effort, and the overall strength of the kingdom will be reduced, which is simply a loss.

Most of the land divided this time is the territory of Liam Gray Iron, and a small part is the territory of Phoenix Forest Green.

Alvis plans to divide an earldom from the territory divided by Edwin as compensation to Liam.

Forget about Phoenix, the area of ​​​​his lost territory is not large, so Alvis does not intend to compensate him.

In fact, this is also related to Alvis's later plan. At present, the territory controlled by the Emerald Royal Family occupies about one-third of the entire kingdom, that is, the eastern and central regions of the kingdom.

Alvis plans to make the territory divided by Edwin directly under the royal family to expand the royal family's income and influence.

He glanced at Edwin, who was still distressed at this time, and felt that the punishment for him seemed too light.

"From today on, all resources produced by the bronze dragon must be transported to the Emerald Valley and Saint Gold Castle. No bronze ore is allowed to remain in the original place of residence."

"This... This is too harsh, Your Majesty."

Edwin could accept other punishments, but this one was more painful than killing him.

In this way, wouldn't he and the bronze dragon become a production tool for the royal family to produce bronze?

Where is the dignity of a dragon knight?

But he looked at Alvis's majestic eyes, and his resentment could only be suppressed in his heart.

"Yes, sir..."

Edwin had to humiliate himself and agree to this condition.

Seeing Edwin so sensible, Alvis nodded with satisfaction.

If the kingdom itself did not have many dragon knights and needed to deter neighboring countries, Alvis would have turned Edwin into a magic factor with a dragon breath to feed back to the earth.

After dealing with Edwin, Alvis rode the Emerald Dragon and landed on the open space outside the Emerald Valley.

"Brother!"

After seeing her brother land, Veronica quickly let Vivian land.

As Vivian landed next to the Emerald Dragon, Veronica jumped off Vivian's back.

"Brother, are you not injured?"

Veronica was more concerned about her brother's specific situation than the so-called punishment or loss.

"I'm fine, are you not injured?"

Veronica shook her head. In the entire battle of the Emerald Valley, she only fought with the Silver Dragon Knight Amelia Silver Hand. Even though Vivian was not fully mature, she was not easily defeated by an ordinary Silver Dragon.

Seeing that his little sister was fine, Alvis breathed a sigh of relief.

He pretended to be calm on his face, but he was secretly glad in his heart.

The original Emerald Light Royal Family was considered to have a prosperous offspring. If only the main line was counted without counting the side branches, Alvis' generation actually had a total of four offspring, two boys and two girls.

As the eldest son in the family, Alvis shouldered the heavy responsibility of the family.

However, fate played a cruel joke on them - the second and third sons were unfortunately killed in the previous kingdom coup.

This bloody coup plunged the entire royal family into great grief, and also made Alvis feel extremely self-blame and pain.

Now, only he and his younger sister are left in the Emerald Light Royal Family, shouldering the heavy responsibility of reviving the family and the country.

Alvis turned his eyes to Veronica on the side, revealing a little blame in his eyes.

He said in a serious tone:

"You came because Edwin wrote to you? What do you believe in what he says? Why didn't you send someone to ask me but just brought people here?"

His voice was full of helplessness and dissatisfaction, as if he was accusing Veronica of rash behavior.

However, facing her brother's questioning, Veronica did not show any guilt or regret.

She raised her chin, turned her head in another direction, and pretended that she had not heard anything.

Her behavior made Alves feel helpless and funny.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. Now that things have happened, let's not argue anymore."

Alves finally chose to compromise. He was simply worried about Veronica's personal safety. After all, he and his little sister were the only two people left in the direct family line.

Veronica turned her head back and nodded in agreement.

"You..."

Alves looked at his sister in front of him, his heart filled with pampering and trust.

She has always been the jewel in the family and is well cared for.

However, as she grew older, she began to develop some worrying traits.

Veronica is too soft-hearted and kind-hearted, qualities that are out of place in the political arena.

As a qualified ruler, one needs to possess qualities such as decisiveness, tenacity, iron-bloodedness and ruthlessness.

Veronica, on the other hand, is just the opposite. She always cherishes her followers, pities the common people, and is easily swayed by emotions.

In the eyes of Alves, this is not a quality that a ruler should have.

Still, Alves doesn't blame her or let her down.

Instead, he chose to support her dream of establishing a grand duchy of her own.

This is pure doting.

"Oh, by the way..."

Alves frowned slightly, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked Veronica:

"Have you found the partner you like? Don't forget what you promised me back then."
