Chapter 24 Forest (Third Watch)

Chapter 24 Forest (Third Watch)
Sure, here's the translation while preserving the original HTML tags:```htmlThe Sakhodi Lion Group and the Nochisan Lion Group are merged into one, with the original territories of the two lion groups, along with the intervening mountainous areas and the accompanying forests, forming a large area. According to Nalan's opinion, the name of this lion group remains Sakhodi.```
Anyway, the Nokisang lion group cannot compete with the Sakodi lion group. The old lion king, Ressa, is respected, so this great lion group should continue.
With Bill's joining, there are now three male lions, thirty-two female lions, and five cubs in this lion group. These five cubs are Ressa's offspring, only a few months old. As before, Lain did not kill them.
狮群的前途，一片光辉。
这段时间实在是发生了太多的事情，一开始是旱季，草原上食物贫乏带来的威胁。冒险踏足其他社群的领地，意外当上了这里的狮王。紧接着，意外又发生，追逐着一群猎人，后来掉进了河里，被困峡谷数天，被毒蛇咬了差点送命。回来一天不到，就再次踏足另一个狮群的领地，成为了两个狮群的狮王。之后和数量庞大的野猪进行一场鏖战，眼下这才安定下来。
Ryan plans to take this opportunity to give himself a good break.
Next to the Tsavo lion group, there is a forest with a big river running through the middle. This is where Nalan used to go when she was young and still goes to now.
The area of this forest is quite large, equivalent to half of the Sakkadi lion group. Strictly speaking, this forest is not within the range of the Sakkadi lion group, but it also does not belong to any other lion group. On the other side of the forest is a lion group called Matul, which is a regular lion group consisting of two males and 16 females. Although its power is not particularly strong, the two lion groups also maintain a peaceful coexistence.
```htmlHowever, these two lion groups also border the territory of the Yasset lion group at the same time. The strength of these three lion groups should not be underestimated. This has led to a situation where the three powers stand equal, and every conflict is accompanied by injuries and deaths, so they try to minimize friction between each other as much as possible.```
Now, the Nokisun Lion group has merged into the territory of the Sakodi Lion group, so there is another neighboring country: the Akda Lion group.
This situation is very unfavorable for Lyon, because the Sakodi Lion group is now surrounded by three powerful lion groups. Lyon only just started the precedent of annexing neighboring countries, and sooner or later, the surrounding kingdoms will find out. They might follow suit. In that case, the situation of the Sakodi Lion group will be very dangerous. Because after the other lion kings dispute the throne, they will not forgive the young lions like Lyon did.
It doesn't matter, those three lion groups will eventually be swallowed up by themselves.
The two of them didn't know why they had this idea. Since he became the lion king, his whole feeling has changed. Many things that he didn't care about before, he now gradually values. In the past, he was a selfish lion, only thinking about his own interests. Now, he is the king of this land, and he needs to take care of every member here and ensure the safety of this place.
有了这些想法，仿佛这一切都是个标志：莱恩成熟了。
吞并周围的一些邻国并不是为了伤亡，而是为了和平。将那些狮群的成员都接纳进来，无论是雌狮还是雄狮，情愿的就都接纳。莱恩要打造整个非洲草原上最强大的狮群，不管如此，他甚至还想保证自己死后这个事情依旧存在，千百年后，涛声依旧。
How wonderful it is.
Oh, why am I thinking about these things again? Didn't we agree to take a break for a while?
Leanne understands that the things she's thinking of cannot be accomplished overnight. Being so stressed out all the time, her body will eventually break down. It's already getting late in the evening. It's time to sleep, do nothing tomorrow, and rest for a day.
……
In the early morning, all the lions were sleeping in the cave, only Nalan woke up early. She looked at Ryan sleeping beside her and suddenly had a wonderful idea.
```htmlWinter is gone and spring has come again, and the African grasslands are being swept by the spring breeze. Spring is a wonderful season, and the itching spring breeze always manages to awaken some newly born lives.```
Nalan gently licked Ryan's back to wake him up. Ryan seemed to have not slept enough, looking at Nalan in a daze.
What happened again?
```htmlNalan did not respond, just gently bit Ryan's mane with her mouth and pulled him up from the ground. Ryan was somewhat like being forced to reboot, not yet understanding what was going on, only able to follow Nalan quietly, walking out of the cave.```
```htmlNalan skirted around a rock and stooped down at a spring of an underground river, taking a few sips of water. Seeing this, Laine also walked over quietly, bent down, and drank two mouthfuls, moistening his throat parched from the night.```
Sure, here's the translation while preserving the original HTML tags:```html

After finishing the drink, Lian was about to go back, but he saw Nalan walking down a small path, calling softly to him as she turned her head. It was an unfamiliar path, one that Lian had never walked before. Without hesitation, he followed her.

```
```htmlThis path is not very long, just two bends away from the ground. However, what is in front of you is not a grassland, but a dense forest. The vegetation here is unusually lush, and the air is quite fresh. Morning dew still clings to the leaves and has not evaporated.```
莱恩被这景象迷住了，一边目不转睛的盯着看，一边缓步走进去。娜岚对这反应非常满意，也跟着一起走了进去。
一个不经意的扭头，莱恩的目光定格在娜岚身上。话说回来，他从来没有这么认真的看过娜岚。一头年轻的雌狮，身姿抚媚，美丽动人。按照狮子的审美，娜岚是少有的雌狮。
莱恩也不知道这是怎么了，此刻看着眼前的娜岚，和以前看着有些许不一样了。
这是一种奇妙的感觉。
娜岚也清楚，莱恩同样是独一无二的雄狮。不光因为他气宇轩昂，威风凛凛的外表、超乎同类的智商和战斗力。更是因为他善良，有上进心，和蔼可亲。
莱恩满足了娜岚对于雄狮的一切幻想，在遇见莱恩前，娜岚不相信这世界上有完美的雄狮存在。
微风吹过森林，带着一股别样的芬芳，隐含着无限温情……
