Two weeks passed by after that. During these two weeks, Alaric honored his promise to give the warriors who had died in Alverton a proper funeral. House Silversword also invited a cleric from the church to officiate the ceremony. This gesture tugged the hearts of the warriors and the families of those who had fallen. Usually, the fallen warriors would only be buried together and there would be no ceremony whatsoever so everyone was moved by Alaric's decision to hold the funeral. The residents of North Pine Town and the former residents of Alverton attended the event to bid farewell to the heroes who were killed to protect their lives and also to express their gratitude for their selfless sacrifices. The funeral lasted an entire week and the heroes were buried on top of the mountain beside the estate. The mountain was formerly called Mount Kanla, but Alaric took it upon himself to rename it Mount Tegere which means 'land of protectors' when translated into common language. It was Yvanna who suggested this name and she even attended the funeral, but something came up halfway through the ceremony which forced her to leave North Pine Town. Alaric asked what happened, but the elven princess refused to tell him and decisively left after bidding him farewell. After the fallen warriors were buried, Alaric sent his subordinates to inform the families of the dead that they would receive monthly compensation and other benefits to ensure their livelihood. *** On the 3rd day of March in the year 209 of the Astanian Calendar, Alaric was heading to Redonia to meet the leaders of the noble households in the North. When these arrogant leaders received the letter sent by Lucas Silversword, almost 80% of them agreed to join the orc subjugation. The leaders unanimously agreed to hold a gathering in Redonia which was situated at the very center of the North. At this moment, Alaric was checking his character profile on the cyan screen. Alaric Silversword [Elite Knight] EXP: 3 —> 51/1000 Potential: A Traits: Horseback Riding (C), Swordsmanship (SSS), Close Combat (C), Archery (F), Hunting (E), Tracking (E), Sixth Sense (E), Monster Affinity (F), Mana Gathering (C) Strength: 150 Stamina: 150 Agility: 150 Vitality: 150 "... they didn't send any letter." Alaric's face darkened. "Send more messengers to those families and tell them to hurry. If they don't come before the agreed time, House Silversword will stop all our cooperation with them!" In the past few months, House Silversword expanded their iron ore mining business at his insistence which turned them into the largest iron ore supplier in the North. They had even extended business dealings with many noble households. If he cut off cooperation with those families, they would definitely face a severe lack of iron ore. Dylann was stunned. For him to utter those words, this showed that Alaric, or rather House Silversword wasn't afraid of those noble households. "Yes, my lord! I will send our messengers to relay your message to them." Dylann subconsciously responded in a more respectful tone. "Mn." Alaric hummed in response. Soon, the walls that surrounded the estate of House Heinrich came into view. "We're almost there, my lord," Dylann said as he pointed in the direction of their estate. Alaric followed his gaze. House Heinrich's estate was strategically located on top of a hill. In case of a siege, they would have a higher ground, making it harder for invaders to attack. On top of the walls, he also saw some warriors occasionally patrolling, ensuring that no trespassers were nearby. They headed straight to the main gate where a welcoming group was waiting for them. Among them was Baron Smith Heinrich, the head of the household. As soon as the carriage stopped, Alaric got off and greeted the baron. Unlike Baron Nathan of House Paxley, this man was very particular about his health. He looked strong and fit with the visible muscles on his arms. Furthermore, he was also an Elite Knight! Alaric approached the baron with a confident gait. Meanwhile, Dylann matched his pace, but he subconsciously maintained a distance of half a step behind him. "I'm pleased to meet you, my lord." Alaric's face broke into a smile as he greeted the baron.
