Looking at the mighty procession outside the gate of Froststone City, Todd standing on the gate frowned and did not say a word.

"In accordance with your orders, the Froststone army evacuates the people of the occupied area back to the city before retreating. With a total of nearly 70,000 people, this is the third batch, and it is expected that the population will be able to move by the end of this month. ”

Evie, who was standing next to Todd, said as she took out a list and presented it: "Also, this is a list of the warband's losses. ”

Todd took the list and sighed helplessly while looking at it: "Lost 1,100 warriors, and 19 cities lost...... Three warband commanders were killed in battle, and even Casper ......"

Evie nodded: "The Ulster Kingdom also lost three thousand soldiers in this war, but it is those Connaught people, they have been maintaining their strength and watching from the wall, except for some casualties during the attack on the Junka Fortress, the army is still relatively intact. ”

Todd handed the list back to Minnie, "Where is the combined forces of Ulster and Connaught attacking now?"

Evie paused for a moment, then continued, "They didn't continue marching ......"

"Didn't go any further?"

"They are squabbling over the lands that we have given up occupying. ”

Todd turned his head in surprise, looked at the Valkyrie beside him, and asked incredulously, "Stop attacking?

"The two kingdoms of Ulster and Connaught are feuds in themselves, and the reason why they are united this time is entirely because of the rise of Froststone City. ”

Evie shrugged at Todd: "In the face of the victory in this battle, unlike the commanders who participated in the battle with Ulster and Connaught, those nobles who hid in the rear did not see the cruelty of the war at all, and they thought that the strength of Froststone City was nothing more than that. So, naturally, they focused on the land that had been recaptured. ”

Todd couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "This result is really surprising. ”

"If you want me to say, it's a bunch of men without eggs! They fight like a runaway plague chicken, but they have the spirit to quarrel. Eviet's eyes showed contempt and disdain: "The Ulster Kingdom claims that those lands belong to them in the first place, so naturally they will not give up a cent, but the Connaughts, who have barely contributed from the beginning to the end, say that they can drive us away, thanks to their army, it is natural that they will take half of the land they have taken back." ”

Todd waved his hand helplessly: "Let them continue to argue, it will not hurt us if it continues like this...... By the way, how is Cúchulainn doing now?"

"Some say he was seen returning to the capital of Ulster, but after that, there is no record of him appearing in public. ”

"Get as much information as you can about him, I always feel that he won't just keep silent......"

"Speaking of Cúchulainn, I have one thing to ask you. Evie stared into Todd's eyes, "How long are you going to let that raven live?"

"Crows?"

After thinking for a moment, Todd instantly understood who Evie was referring to: "What? What did Meredith do?"

"I don't like having people on top of me!"

Todd was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "Which aspect do you mean?"

"Whether it's the place or the posture!" Evie said with a rare look of shame, "Whenever I lie in bed and look overhead, I always think that the woman is there!"

Todd was a little helpless: "Meredith is also kind to stay here, and besides, she doesn't have any excessive words and deeds." ”

"No excessive words and deeds?" Evie pursed her lips and said, "I saw her outside the door of the small building this morning, guess what she said to me?"

"Say what?"

"She told me that she had heard of the Valkyrie's mighty fighting power, but to her surprise, my performance in bed did not quite fit the name. ”

Evie's words baffled Todd: "What did she mean by that?"

Evie grabbed the handle of the hilt of the sword, and spoke in an angry and anxious tone: "Originally, in the past, when I was with you, I could linger from the middle of the moon to the beginning of the sun. But since you became a dragon, I have not been able to continue for less than half an hour...... So, it's not my problem at all!

Todd covered his forehead with his hand and smiled dumbly: "Evie, you should know that this is not a reason to accuse Meredith, besides, this woman has helped me several times, although there is more or less inappropriate in words, but there is no offense in behavior, maybe she meant ......"

"I know, Todd, I know my accusation looks ridiculous. But, aside, I really couldn't trust this woman in the crow's feather, and my instincts told me that she wasn't as simple as it seemed...... I've always wanted to ask, do you know her past, do you know who she really is, do you know what she's doing all this for?"

Evie continued with a look of wariness, "I have encountered similar situations when I was hunting, and those old, intelligent and ferocious beasts would even pretend to be domestic animals that had been raised by men, in order to make the hunters take it lightly. ”

Todd thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "Meredith is indeed a mystery to me. She never spoke of her past, nor did she show any importance or hostility towards anything. The only time she spoke to me that showed intense emotion was simply to persuade me to keep my identity as a human and not to be blinded by power......"

Evie said categorically: "I'm sure there must be something behind this woman, she must have some shady secrets......"

Todd looked at the several shamans waiting at the bottom of the castle tower, and said to the Valkyrie beside him: "Meredith, whatever her purpose, the Silent Spear she brought this time can be said to have helped me a lot. Without any definite evidence, don't draw any conclusions for now, and I'll talk to her at the right time and place......"

Walking down the tower, Todd came to the shamans and asked, "How are things going?"

Minnie, who was at the head of the shaman's procession, replied respectfully: "Son of the gods, in accordance with your holy decree, we have completed the first phase of the construction of the pilgrimage, but the greenery and roads are only almost complete due to the hurry. The ashes of the war dead, brought back from the front, have been placed in the makeshift wooden tents on the square of the pilgrimage site, according to your instructions. ”

Todd nodded, "Very well, let's start preparing for the induction ceremony of the Heroic Spirits." ”

Minnie took all the shamans and bowed to Todd before walking towards the entrance of the temple.

Looking at their departing figures, Todd sighed faintly: "Maybe these are nothing, but I can at least do something to comfort the souls of the believers." ”
