"Your Highness Draconis, what happened here?!"
The anomaly caused by Draco Meteor quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding patrolling knights.
Gerolt happened to be among them, and out of concern for Draconis's safety, he quickly ran over to check the situation.
"It's nothing, Dragonair just learned a powerful new move," Draconis said with a chuckle, patting Dragonair's head.
A new move?
The two young knights behind Gerolt looked at the large craters around them, seemingly made by something terrifying, and couldn't help but swallow.
What kind of move could smash the ground like this?
Today's special training ended successfully. To celebrate Serperior's evolution, Draconis specially had some of its favorite foods prepared.
The Pokémon sat around the dining table, happily feasting.
Draconis paid special attention to Serperior.
Although Serperior lost its limbs after evolving, it instinctively learned to use Vine Whip to pick up food, a posture that appeared noble and elegant.
Serperior noticed Draconis's gaze and couldn't help but turn its head to look.
Draconis smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing, you all eat slowly. Alfred has something to discuss with me, I'll go to the study to handle some official business."
The group of Pokémon enjoying dinner had no objections.
Draconis left the dining room to the Pokémon and went to the study alone, where Alfred was already waiting.
Seeing Draconis approach, he said, "Your Highness Draconis, as you predicted, with the help of those Machoke and Conkeldurr, our City has been completely built!"
"Not only that, our craftsmen also used the concrete made by Conkeldurr to build a bridge over the great river, connecting to the opposite bank!"
Hearing this, Draconis nodded, unable to help but sigh in relief!
With that, Alfred placed a blueprint of the City on the table.
"This is the City map Miss Christina drew for you."
Draconis looked down and saw that the various areas of the City were clearly marked.
Nimbasa City developed outwards with the City Hall as its center. The City primarily consisted of residential areas, commercial districts, barracks, parks, squares, and recreational areas.
Areas like brick kilns, farmlands, pastures, and orchards, on the other hand, encircled the entire City.
Thanks to Draconis and Elena's advanced design concepts.
The City still retained many facilities such as gardens, trees, and lawns. These places were both beautiful and could provide habitats for some Pokémon.
Of course, what pleased Draconis the most was the City's underground water system.
The workers, utilizing the strength of Dugtrio and Drilbur, dug out a very advanced drainage system beneath the City.
The entire City was divided into two parts.
One part was their current location, the east side of the great river.
The other part was on the plain across the river, and the two areas were connected by a bridge.
"Those who came from the Royal City have also successively moved into these new residences. Currently, our City is estimated to accommodate five thousand people," Alfred said.
"Excellent!" Draconis took a deep breath. Now it was up to the Commoners to develop themselves.
As far as he knew, after these days of interaction, some eligible men and women in the territory had developed very deep feelings for each other.
Some had even held simple weddings and moved in together under the witness of both sets of parents.
He believed it wouldn't be long before the territory would welcome the birth of a new life.
Overall, Draconis was very satisfied.
Alfred, standing beside him, looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated: "Your Highness, should we build a City wall?"
If war were to reach here later, without a City wall, The First Prince and The Second Prince's armies would flatten the entire City without any obstruction.
Draconis also realized this problem.
After all, the current era was still in the backward Middle Ages, and human wars still relied on cold weapons.
In such a situation, a sturdy City wall could often play a huge role.
There were relevant City wall technologies in the tech tree, but Draconis had never invested in them.
"In that case, let them start building it," Draconis said in a deep voice.
"Understood. I will instruct the construction team to continue building the castle and City walls," Alfred nodded.
Draconis, however, fell into deep thought.
His two half-brothers started recruiting soldiers last month. Now, it wouldn't be long before war would likely break out.
They didn't have much time left.
After a moment of contemplation, Draconis said, "Alfred, I might have to leave the territory for a while soon."
Upon hearing this, Alfred was instantly stunned.
"Your Highness—are you—?!"
"I wonder if you've heard of the legend of the Dragon God," Draconis looked at Alfred.
"Dragon God?" Alfred looked puzzled.
Draconis hummed, saying, "The Dragon God is a powerful magical beast. One day, it suddenly split into two different dragon magical beasts. Their strength is immense; one can easily destroy a country, and they will also assist those they recognize to ascend the throne."
"As far as I know, my elder brother and second brother have already received the recognition of these two dragon magical beasts—so, our current strength is not enough."
Alfred immediately recalled the secret rumors he had heard in the Royal City before, that The First Prince and The Second Prince had received help from a mysterious power!
"Your Highness—" Alfred opened his mouth. If those two dragon magical beasts were really that powerful, then what should they do?
"Don't worry, Alfred. As far as I know, that legend is missing a part; it's incomplete. In the true legend, besides those two dragons, there is a third dragon."
"Before leaving the Royal City, I had already begun my investigation. It wasn't until recently that I finally discovered its whereabouts. Lacunosa Village, it resides near Lacunosa Village. Only by gaining the recognition of that dragon can we truly have the strength to fight against my elder brother and second brother," Draconis said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Alfred couldn't help but widen his eyes.
He immediately recalled when His Highness sent Evan out to investigate intelligence some time ago!
"I will need at least a month. Before I leave, I will arrange the future development direction of the territory. At that time, everything will be entrusted to you," Draconis said.
War could break out at any time, so it was best for them to contact Kyurem as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if the Royal Army arrived at the City gates, it would be too late.
"Your Highness—will there be danger on this journey?" Alfred asked, full of worry.
Draconis smiled and said, "No need to worry, Victini will go with me."
If all else failed, they could also use Victini's Psychic powers to escape.
Alfred didn't know what to say. He knew very well that His Highness had made his decision.
The Old Butler opened his mouth, finally uttering, "Your Highness, please be careful in all things!"
