Chapter 541: 540: Heinrich's Headache

After confirming the [Dragon God Viscera Consolidating Method] could indeed be practiced in its early stages, Leon continued to consolidate his viscera with Great pseudo-Grandmist Energy.

During this time, the Western Frontier was bustling with activities. 

Torches were lit throughout the region, and many surviving citizens evacuated with soldiers and their families as they cleared the area for the Elder Tree. 

For a period of time, the Elder Tree appeared much taller than usual as it crossed over the Great Wall in a tip-toed-like manner.

The region was filled with loud rumbles due to its movements. 

Apart from the noise caused by the Elder Tree, the source of sound within the region came from the smithies within the Military City and the building's reparations. 

Even after being moved to the Western Frontier, Duke Ignis and the blacksmiths never rest their metalworks in the forge.

Meanwhile, the elven tribe's camp was shifted away from the marshy field outside of Military City after the Elder Tree entered the Human Domain. 

After the Elder Tree rooted itself on a grassy plain further away from Military City and off the main road, the elven tribe pitched their camp around their revered deity tree under the Supreme Elder's leadership.

"Will we be setting up our new home here with our Guardian Spirit, Your Highness?" An elf boy asked as he tugged Faelyn's sleeve after she descended from the Elder Tree's crown. 

Faelyn lowered herself for their eyes to meet before she rubbed the boy's head with a smile, "Definitely not. The Crawford Empire has vast plots of empty lands. There will be many places for us to choose our home…"

"…However, it seems like the Guardian Spirit will not be moving from this location. If people like to stay here with the Guardian Spirit, they will not be forced to move."

"Is there something special about this spot specifically, Your Highness? Why did the Guardian Spirit choose to be rooted here?" A middle-aged male elf asked with doubt. 

"This…" Faelyn hesitated slightly with uncertainty before she answered with a shake of her head, "I am not sure either. Perhaps, we cannot only wait for the Savior to communicate with the great Guardian Spirit before we get a definite answer."

The Elder Tree had followed Faelyn's instructions as Leon promised it would. 

However, after they had reached their present location, the Elder Tree had rooted itself on the spot without following any further instructions from Faelyn and the Supreme Elder.

As such, Faelyn was helpless. 

It was uncertain whether the Elder Tree favored the area or because of other reasons that forced it to choose this particular stretch of grassy plains.

Back in Military City, the Communication Tower was quickly repaired and cleaned up before General Marquis Hendrick checked the communication devices' conditions. 

There were no spares for these ancient relics that were retrieved from the underground ruins. If they were damaged beyond functional, they would not be able to contact the Capital through it. 

Fortunately, that was not the case. 

General Marquis Hendrick was quickly connected with someone on the other side of the communication device within the Capital. 

In a short moment, the initial receiver passed hands before another person spoke through the communication device, "General Marquis Hendrick? How is the situation in the west?" 

"The Great Wall had almost been overrun by mutant rats, but fortunately, we have succeeded in repelling the mutant rat tide, Your Majesty. Also, the elven tribe's people have arrived and pitched their camp outside of Military City along with their tree." General Marquis Hendrick responded. 

On the other side, Heinrich attempted to peer into the darkness in the western direction outside of his balcony.

A vague but towering shadow stood tall in the distance could be seen. 

"Un, I can see it. What about my son? How is he? He hasn't caused any issues for you in the west, has he?" Heinrich inquired casually.

General Marquis Hendrick quickly shook his head while on the call. 

"Not at all, Your Majesty! On the contrary, His Highness has contributed largely to our victory with Miss Aria and the Transcendent-level silver wolf. We could not have done it without their help. Even the tree listens to His Highness."

Heinrich was surprised like he had heard something wrong before he asked for confirmation, "Can you repeat that?"

After General Marquis Hendrick repeated his words, Heinrich was even more surprised. 

"You're telling me that ever since my son headed into the west, he was able to tame the Skysilver Beast King of the Skysilver Beast Tribe and the revered deity tree of Elvengarde?" Heinrich queried with twitching lips. 

When was it so easy to tame these two behemoths? 

Either of these two beings was much stronger than Heinrich himself! After all, he had yet to reach the Transcendent Realm!

"Yes, Your Majesty. More importantly, what should be during this Cataclysm? What are your plans, Your Majesty?" General Marquis Hendrick inquired. 

"Haiz, no need to tell you about this now…" Heinrich responded with a sigh, still in shock from his son's feats before he said, "My Queen is headed for the Western Frontier. You can discuss the matter with her when she arrives." 

"Yes, Your Majesty," General Marquis Hendrick responded. 

Shortly after, the call ended.

Heinrich had his hands full in dealing with the Capital's problem while issues from other cities were pouring onto his table one after the other.

He simply could not handle them all. 

Heinrich considered assigning some ministers to share some of his burdens. However, there were not many talents in the empire for him to select from.

The 17 years tragedy had not only frozen the empire's development, but it also regressed instead—the education system included.

Knock, knock. 

A few knocks were heard on the door to the study room before Heinrich saw the maid Lily and gestured for her to enter. 

"What is it?" Heinrich asked. 

Lily curtsied respectfully in greeting before she said, "A few more letters have arrived from Blackrock City, Redsand City, and Stillwater City, Your Majesty." 

Heinrich immediately felt a headache before he sighed helplessly, "Alright, I understand. You can leave them on the table over there, Lily."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
