When Todd's oracle to march into Ulster was issued, the entire city of Froststone was like a war machine that had been activated, and it was in full swing.

The leaders of the various warbands rushed to the temple and gathered with the shamans to listen to the Valkyrie's analysis of the battle reports from the front, and then began to work out battle plans overnight.

The warriors, who had been at home for a long time, sharpened their swords and sharpened their shields on their knees, seeing this war against the Ulster Kingdom as the best opportunity to wash away the shame of the last defeat.

But more people with a heart linked this battle to the formation of the Holy Cult Army.

Many believe that this battle, initiated by the Son of the Gods himself, was actually a test and test. The aim is to select the bravest and most devout believers from among the mortals, to include them in the ranks of the Holy Cult, and to make a place for them in Valhalla.

Therefore, under this speculation, more and more believers in Froststone City, whether they are warriors, civilians, or slaves, have come to the vicinity of the temple and asked to join the war against Ulster.

Faced with the crowd of petitioners outside the temple, the shaman assembly was not concerned at first, but as more and more people came, they had to pay attention to it.

After repeated attempts to persuade him to no avail, Minnie found Todd in desperation and informed him of the situation.

"Are you saying that tens of thousands of people came to the temple in the hope of joining the war, in order to gain a place for themselves in the Holy Cult Army?" the black dragon shook his head, and his tone seemed a little incomprehensible: "I have repeatedly emphasized that if you join the Holy Cult Army, you will completely lose your human form, be far away from your family and race, and you may even lose your life in the middle of the transformation ritual, don't they know?"

Faced with Todd's question, Minnie was a little strange.

"Son of the Most High God, isn't this a normal scenario, in this world, there are so many things that are more important than life, and faith in you is like the jewel at the top of an ivory tower, always shining brightly. I believe that if I can follow you into the Sanctuary, no matter what hardships you face, your followers will not hesitate to forge ahead. ”

Todd was silent.

In his previous life, he had also seen fanatical beliefs under the influence of religion.

Indeed, once believers believe in God, everything, including life, becomes insignificant and unimportant.

Todd lowered his head and looked at Minnie: "It doesn't take so many people to attack Ulster, and besides, most of those petitioners are people who have not been trained in combat...... In the name of the oracle, they were told that the power of the gods came from piety, and that they should stay in the temple in this war and pray for the victory of the gods. ”

Minnie smiled and nodded yes.

"How are the warbands preparing?"

"As of yesterday, a total of one hundred and forty warbands have asked to join the battle. Minnie recalled, "Thirteen thousand warriors were all ready, with food, livestock, equipment, and slaves. ”

"What about tactics?"

"According to the deliberation of the warband leader and the Valkyrie, all warbands will be divided into three ways. The northwest route attacked the port of Ulster, the ancient city, to open up the supply channel by sea, the north route attacked the capital of Ulster, the city of Amma, and captured the enemy's base camp as soon as possible, and the eastern route army went to the border of the Connaught kingdom to block the enemy's returning army. ”

Todd asked, "Who is in charge of the Eastern Route Army?"

"The main force is the two largest warbands in Froststone City, the Red Branch Gladiator and the Falcon Warband, and the aerial reconnaissance is led by Evie. ”

After listening to Minnie's introduction, Todd thought about it repeatedly.

There should be no problem in the tactical arrangement and troop deployment.

"The next week, the shamans gather for their last sacrifice before the war. Then, each major war group will go to their respective battlefields according to the established route. ”

Minnie looked at Todd, "Son of the Supreme God, do you have any more orders about this war?"

Todd landed on his forelegs, lay on the ground, and aimed his golden pupils at the old woman in front of him: "If this war has an unexpected result, do you know what to do?"

Minnie was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Todd with a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "The Shaman Assembly will put Deirdre's safety first...... The blood of God cannot be lost. ”

Todd nodded, stood up again, and whispered, "May the glory of the gods return to this land." ”

Minnie knelt down: "Everything is your will. ”

After Minnie left, thick steam erupted from Todd's scales, instantly filling the entire square.

An hour passed, and Todd, who was not in a single strand, slowly walked out of the fog in the form of a human.

"It's still more comfortable in the form of a dragon, and the feeling of a human form is more like a layer of ill-fitting tights wrapped around the skin. ”

Todd muttered to himself as he picked up a fur coat from the ground and put it on his body, and then walked in the direction of the small building.

Seeing more than a dozen Valkyries standing outside the house from a distance, Todd suddenly realized that Evie and Deirdre might have more attention and care for their soon-to-be-born child than he had been.

Todd's appearance made the Valkyries fall to their knees.

Under the latter's gaze, Todd pushed open the door and saw Dildre walking slowly in the living room on the first floor.

A beautiful woman who was already pregnant, wearing a large moon-white robe, and her abdomen was not noticeable because she was still pregnant.

With the support of the two Valkyries, she carefully took each small step, as if her body contained fragile crystals.

Looking at the fine beads of sweat oozing from Dildri's forehead, Todd walked up to her and said, "Sit down first." ”

"The doctors told me that during this time of pregnancy, such a slow walk is good for the fetus. Deirdre shook her head slightly, with a rare stubbornness in her expression: "It would have been better to walk outdoors, but there are too many dangers outside, so walking around the room makes me feel more at ease." ”

Looking at the other party's cautious appearance, Todd was a little funny, but more touched.

In the face of a child who is about to be born, the stubbornness and love of any mother can make people feel the warmest beauty.

"In the early stages of pregnancy, be careful not to overexert yourself and avoid touching irritating objects. Todd helped Deirdre to sit on the chaise longue and motioned for the Valkyrie to step back first: "Moderate supplementation with some high-quality protein...... I mean fresh meat. Also, it is best to walk outdoors on flat ground, after all, there is a lot of furniture in the room, and it is easy to stumble and cause injuries. ”

While listening to Todd's advice, Deirdre's eyes widened: "You even know this? By the way, I forgot that you came from ......."

Todd continued: "In the diet, you can properly supplement some animal liver, green leafy vegetables, which contain a lot of folic acid......"

Deirdre nodded busily.

Todd pulled Deirdre to his side and kissed the other man's forehead gently: "Rest assured, our baby will be healthy." ”

Deirdre slowly closed her eyes, nodded slightly, and whispered, "I heard others say that you seem to be going to war again......"

Todd patted Dildre's back and said gently, "This battle is not dangerous, I will come back early and accompany you and the child." ”

Deirdre hummed softly and said no more.

Todd took the woman in his arms and said like a dream: "When our children grow up, may there be no more wars in this world." ”

Not far away, outside the closed door of the small building, Evie's hand that wanted to knock on the door hung in the air, but it still didn't fall after all.

She turned and leaned against the door under the watchful eye of her sisters, looking up at the sky, her eyes full of loneliness.
