"Of course I'm angry, didn't you see that I was so angry that I ate two less loaves of bread at dinner?"

Thor lay on Petty's lap and tilted his head to look at her.

"And what do you want?" Petty was a little annoyed, this guy was obviously rolling around, but there was nothing he could do.

Thor smiled and raised his hand to nod his mouth.

"You...... Close your eyes. Petty clutched the hem of her skirt tightly.

Saul closed his eyes, and after a moment, he suddenly felt a little shaking.

Quietly opened one eye, and saw Petty with her eyes closed, leaning her head and leaning her little mouth over.

Thor felt a little funny, this kind of thing should be the nervousness of the person waiting, right?

What are you shaking there when you kiss someone? Shaking like a small volcano about to erupt.

After a while, Thor felt the fragrance and softness, but the softness only rubbed slightly and ran away, and Thor was not good. What is this? You don't say I thought it was some mollusk passing by my mouth, well, the scented kind.

Thor sat up straight and pressed the little mushroom against the bed.

"No...... Don't. Petty was shy that the screaming kicks that Thor had expected hadn't come.

"Don't? My favorite thing is to shoehorn something that other people don't want. Thor bowed his head.

“...... This was my first kiss. Petty froze, tugging at the hem of Thor's coat, her face flushing.

"It's like who doesn't. Thor laughed.

"You're a badass. Petty looked at Saul with a rare softness.

"Indeed, I always have. Thor looked at her with his hands condescendingly.

"What about you...... Are you feeling better?" Petty asked weakly.

Thor took a deep look at her, unexpectedly Petty Shiitake had such a heartwarming side.

Leaning down and kissing her forehead, Thor sat back on the edge of the bed and wrapped his arms around Petty's waist from behind.

Petty dangled her calves and turned her head to look at the layout of the lord's bedroom, as if trying to find some secret.

His gaze circled and landed on the bed beside him. The thought of him and Sister Beth rolling around here all the time, Petty Shiitake's face flushed like a tidal wave across the beach, and suddenly felt like a sea tide overflowing the beach, and suddenly felt like it was hard to breathe.

“...... Sister Beth, they're coming back, let me go. Petty struggled in Thor's arms.

"Be attentive when cheating. Thor rested his head on Petty's shoulder and rubbed her face.

"Phew, whoever is cheating with you, let go, or I'll bite you!" Petty wrinkled her little nose and went to wrench Thor's hand.

"Actually, my mood is just a little better, I think if you stay, let's hide under the quilt together and talk about life, I believe I will be more cheerful. Thor easily opened his hand and slapped her little buttocks.

Petty ran to the door and pulled it open, peering out the hallway like a thief.

"Slightly~ you are dreaming. After confirming that there were no witnesses, Petty turned around and grimaced at Saul, grabbed the hem of her skirt and ran away.

Thor crossed his arms and stared silently at the rooftop, then burst into laughter after a moment.

The Lord's Mansion was shocked by the mentally handicapped child, well, this is also a new joke.

This spring is undoubtedly going to be busy.

After the people in the territory were busy with spring ploughing, they were now all standing in the newly renovated square of the territory, listening to the lord's speech.

Nearly 3,000 people gathered here, but fortunately, the newly built Rylington Plaza is wide enough and not crowded.

Thor walked up to the podium in his black coat, his gaze sweeping over the strange-looking conglomerates below. Some of them knew themselves, some probably knew about them, and some of them saw themselves for the first time today.

"You may have heard of me, but I'm Saul Drake, a pioneer from the Southern Frontier and lord of Free City. With the help of Ygrit's amplification spell, Thor's voice reverberated over the square, enough for everyone to hear. 678

"Long live the lord!" I don't know who took the lead, and then quickly spread, and the voices in the square quickly became one. The people shouted the slogan of the kingdom that had been buried in dust for an unknown number of years, and the sound soared into the sky.

Thor stretched out his hands and pressed down slightly, he was standing here at the moment, not to listen to the cheers and admiration of the people.

"Free City is my territory, but it's also all of you. People come from all over the continent, even different races, to come here in search of peaceful soil and a more stable life. ”

"It can be said that the beautiful city of freedom is today through the joint creation of your hard-working hands. As a local lord, I would like to express my deep gratitude to all of you for your efforts. Thor bent down and bowed to the crowd.

The lords were silent, and they all bowed their heads and pressed their chests to pay their respects to the lord.

"As you may be able to guess what I am going to say next, no matter how united we are within ourselves, this world has prepared enough malice for us that there will always be people who are not accustomed to our peace and abundance. ”

"So in the darkness at the end of the summer of 719, the territory of Halloville, which is half a month away from us, was the first to show us hostility. They amassed forces in the main town of Queenston in a vain attempt to invade the territory of the Free City. ”

"Do you agree that they want to plunder our supplies, ruin our lives, and enslave our people?" Thor suddenly shouted.

"Disagree. The audience erupted in an even more violent response.

"In that battle, I lost many brothers who had been together through thick and thin, and many reliable and excellent soldiers. And you have lost your father, your son, and even the breadwinner of your family. As a lord, I am deeply saddened and guilty about this. ”

"They are our heroes, and now they are sleeping in the cemetery of heroes in the territory. ”

"In this world of suffering, in this land of sorrow, it is they who make us understand the meaning of courage. Their tireless fighting spirit will continue to inspire us to rekindle our unyielding faith and move forward. ”

Their bodies may be gone, but their souls and faith will always be with us. ”

"Then, in the next spring war, let's use the enemy's wail and blood to bring them the best sacrifice~!" Thor ended with a high-pitched cry.

The leaders in the audience shouted one after another, there were shouts of killing, and there were also messy and indistinguishable roars, in short, everyone was venting their emotions with their voices. That's pretty much the way the morale was transferred, and Thor was basically satisfied.

In fact, Thor knew that what really boosted morale was the military order of three silver coins of the enemy's head set up yesterday, and that was the source of the real morale of the people. But what does it matter? As long as it works.

Originally, Saul had prepared a more profound and formal speech in advance, but before he took the stage, he decisively gave up, and did not even mention many of the words that advocated honor and prestige.

Braun is about to take over as his lord, so it's better to reduce his presence as much as possible at this time. lest the people of the lords in the future always say, "Whoever dies in battle in my family will die in the year when he became lord of Thor."

Today, the Crimson Cross has expanded to 1,000 people, just the size of a knight order. In this spring war, Free City will dispatch three knight brigades with a total of 750 people, leaving only one knight brigade to maintain order in the territory.

There are no twists and turns in the route, from the Free City to the territory of Halloville.

The journey of about fifteen days, the road is basically plain terrain and there is no obstruction.

In the first few days, there will be a certain amount of rapid marching to warm up the team and at the same time adapt to the combat in the wilderness terrain in case of enemies from the wilderness in the middle of the way. As the team approaches the last three days of Halloville, the team will slow down and adjust their strength.

So, in the year 720 of the Dark Calendar, on the first day of the second month of spring, Scarlet Cross left the territory of Free City and embarked on his first official expedition.

The mighty procession moved forward in silence and order, amid the attention and send-off of the people. The configuration of almost all the members of the second order is enough to make their voices heard in this wild land on the border.

There is no team to pull supplies back, as everything is in Thor's Ring, which has the advantage of not losing supplies due to the chaos of the battle, and not slowing down the team's progress.

Thor was on the team along with Staunt and Diller, and there had been an impromptu military meeting before the war.

According to intelligence from Diller's side.

By the time the Crimson Cross team had set off, they hadn't heard of any decent reinforcements from Halloville's side, and they had just gathered the main forces in the territory in the main town of Queenston, and it seemed that they were preparing to make the wilderness outside Queenston the main battlefield.

However, the lord of Hallovil, who has posted a conscription notice in his territory, seems to be preparing to recruit some temporary mercenaries and adventurers to gather their strength and prepare to face this war in this way.

What's funnier is that it is said that they don't even dare to use the secret gate, for fear that the intelligence department of Liberty City will find their door, and then the sneak attack will suddenly come from behind.

It seems that the understanding of the secret realm gate over there is not comprehensive enough, and a secret realm gate will collapse on its own after passing through a maximum of six people.

However, this approach cannot be said to be meaningless, after all, if they do find their door, and it is Saul and Stintdiler in the past, the damage caused is really difficult to estimate.

In terms of rank strength, it is said that Haloville has two third-order seats.

This can't help but remind Thor of Elton, the old mayor of Grey Curtain Town, and he doesn't know how the old guy is doing now, the small border places are like this, and there is generally not much combat power that can be used.

In short, the scouts of the Scarlet Cross have been dispersed in advance to ensure the follow-up and circulation of information, if there is any variable in Halloville, it will only occur in the half month or so that the Scarlet Cross is on the road.
