“Of course, if you wish for the glory of Westerburg to be restored, then I can relocate a part of the production line…”

“No, that won’t be necessary.”

Little Sheron sighed and said:

“The ruins of Westerburg and the land nearby have been ravaged by the Psychic Plague.

We had the Vam Priestess from the Ice Bay Area come to see, and she told us that it would be at least twenty years before any life could return there.

The city that once shone as the jewel and capital of the Posya Confederation has been thoroughly erased from history.

Even though we yearn for the splendor of the past, we must accept this reality.

The future of the Westerly Territory must be re-planned for its survival—this is something that I and the Valande Knights need to consider.”

“Why not use it as a rear base?”

Murphy said softly:

“The Westerly Territory has vast tracts of high-quality grassland.

The Witch Hunters’ demon-hunting warhorses and your shadow-trackers can graze there.

Moreover, accessing Ice Bay through your forests will be more convenient than detouring near Bata Sin.

Commercial exchanges with Ice Bay in the future will inevitably fall on your shoulders.

Plus, with the threat of the Black Disaster, making the northernmost Westerly Territory the hinterland of the entire Transylvania is a very good strategic choice.

I promise you, Little Sheron,

once we rebuid Crimson Castle and get through the Black Disaster, I will undoubtedly rebuild Westerburg for you.

This is my promise as the Governor of Transia.”

“Well, personally, I am willing to accept, but please understand, the elders of the highlanders are very stubborn and conservative, and persuading them is no easy task.”

Count Shuren did not immediately agree, but from her expression and demeanor, it was clear she was not opposed to Murphy’s proposal.

After ten years of war, the Westerly Territory indeed needed a long time to recover and develop.

Murphy paused for a moment, then added:

“There’s one last thing, about the allegiance of the Winged Cavalry.”

He said to Little Sheron:

“I won’t discuss this with you, but will simply state my decision.

You can retain nominal command of the Xico Wing Cavalry, but the Valande Knights and their horsemen, as an integral part of Transylvania’s overall defense, must come under the control of Baron Maxim, my military commander.

In addition, you must begin recruiting immediately, selecting new soldiers from your populace and from my warriors, and train them.

The Jackal and Wolf people are a minor issue; the challenges we face next cannot be overcome without support.”

“We have long been prepared for this.”

Little Sheron nodded and said:

“Valande Knight’s only requirement is that he oversees the re-establishment of the Winged Cavalry, and that you, Governor, must not interfere with the ancient traditions of the Winged Cavalry in any way.

You must understand that to properly raise a member of the Winged Cavalry, one must follow certain secret techniques passed down by the highlanders, this formidable cavalry is the crystallization of forest heritages.

It’s not as simple as it seems on the surface.”

“I understand, and I do not intend to interfere.”

Murphy nodded his head and patted Cui Si by her slender waist.

The Blood Vulture Duke held her Nocturne Wand, walking to Little Sheron and looking at her.

After a few seconds, she pressed the wand against Sheron’s shoulder and asked:

“So, Sandra Snowden Sico Mel Lesenbla, are you willing to become one of us under the watch of midnight?

Are you willing to lead your people and your armed forces into Transia’s new order?

Are you willing to devote yourself to this land and swear to defend it?”

“I am willing!”

Count Shuren answered earnestly, but then she added in a softer tone:

“But our grudge with the Exploration Corps will inevitably come to a head one day…”

“Your enemies are our enemies.”

Murphy promised:

“Cardman City also has a score to settle with that Dwarf Marshal and his soldiers.”

“Then I have no objections.”

Sheron spoke gravely:

“In the name of the ancient Black Disaster Covenant, I am willing to become a member of this new system and to follow the orders of Governor and the Blood Vulture Duke, contributing the highlanders’ strength and loyalty to resist the enemies of civilization!”

“Very well.”

Cui Si nodded and then touched Sheron’s other shoulder with the Nocturne Wand, saying:

“Therefore, by the Blood Vulture Clan’s ancient claim over Transia and in the name of the Duke of the Blood Vulture Clan, I acknowledge your authority as ‘Xike Countess’ and grant you the right to establish the ‘Xike Faction’ within our Clan.

You may choose the characteristic of your faction yourself—this is important!”

“That sounds terrible, Duke.”

Little Sheron turned up her nose and shook her head, saying:

“If I were to establish my own faction, I would definitely call it something like ‘Crimson Claw’ or ‘Midnight Blade’.”

“Thwack!”

Cui Si flicked Little Sheron’s forehead sharply, scolding:

“Be serious, this is important.

Call your faction whatever you want, but I suggest you not be so flamboyant.

You’ll only be ridiculed by others in the Clan, and the most important aspect of this is the ‘sense of ceremony’…

Ah, how did that word even come out of my mouth?

Feels like I’m handing out tasks to those little ones?

Ugh, I’ve been infected by that bastard, too.”
