Of course, the plan to return to the surface is extremely important to Urs, but in fact it does not require the entire team of Thorn Squad to immediately put down all their affairs and rush back to the land under the sun.

Urs knew that he was looking for the Ring of the Warbler in order to obtain an army that could intervene in the war, so that he could support Kevin Stun, Earl of the Northlands, in the near future Northland War.

Because of the memories of his previous life, although he didn't feel that he was a kind and good person, and he didn't know if he had any so-called sense of mission in his heart, no matter what he said, he still couldn't let go of the people who were about to suffer from the disaster and not save them, even if those people probably didn't know that a terrible disaster was going to befall them sooner or later.

In order to lead the army to support the Northland, and considering that the things needed for "war" and "battle" are fundamentally different, the young man knew that if his group wanted to intervene in the war, the most relied on in their hands was the Lion Legion of the Thorn of the Ring of the Warbler, and the Guardian of the Crown of Fire.

After a few months, the number of Immortal Knights of the Lion of the Thorns had slowly increased to about five hundred in the last month, and now it seemed that it had reached a bottleneck, and the number of legions seemed to be gradually fixed at these five hundred.

Urs guessed that the "awakening" speed and maximum number of people of the Ring of the Warbler may be related to the noble bloodline and title level of the holder, after all, the use requirement of this ring is that the holder must be a nobleman of the Golden Warbler Empire, and the historical Lion of Thorns is also one of the three legions under the direct control of Emperor Calvinland, along with the Golden Que and the Blue Fire.

Based on these two connections, the young man estimated that if he was the Golden Bird Emperor with the direct bloodline of the Hornfaith royal family, then the Ring of the Warbler would definitely be able to restore the Heroic Spirit Knights who were lodged in this golden ring to the full size of 3,000 recorded in history as quickly as possible.

Although the number of 3,000 troops alone is not too shocking, it is necessary to know that the 3,000 heavy cavalry of the Lion of Thorns Legion are not cheap cannon fodder that is temporarily recruited from the farmland until wartime.

Most of them have knightly titles, and a few are even descendants of nobles who are descended from the family line, and each member has a strong military discipline, tactical literacy, and personal force, and even if they are all dismantled, they each have the ability to serve as a junior officer and command a squad-sized soldier to fight.

Urs thought to himself that it would be nice if he could really get the entire army of the Thorn Lions at his peak...... But of course, the ideals are very rich, the reality is very skinny, and the bloodline of his life is only related to the royal family of Hornface, and the so-called noble title is just a slave knight who is suspected of playing the side.

Slave Knights...... Nominally, he can barely be regarded as a knight lord of the empire, but in the eyes of orthodox nobles, it is naturally not worth mentioning, and it has nothing to do with the word nobility anyway.

With the Ring of the Warbler in his hand probably awakened to the limit of his control, the young man had to put his remaining hopes on the Dwarven Prince of the Hearth Clan and the Hearthfire Crown he had obtained behind the Gate of the Forgotten.

There is no record of the Hearthfire Clan in the history of mankind, and in the memory of Urs's previous life, it is only the name of a dwarven clan that has long been buried under the wind and snow of the plateau.

Urs didn't know what kind of army the Hearthfire Guard was, and could only guess from his usual impression of the dwarven race that it was mostly an infantry legion dominated by heavy infantry, and the detailed numbers, equipment, and tactical characteristics were all mysterious, and the good news for now was that Koto told everyone at the beginning of the month that the Hearthfire Crown seemed to have responded to him.

The dwarven crown, which had been passed down from generation to generation by the kings of the Hearth Clan, responded to Koto - but the reason why this "response" was not explained by His Royal Highness to the rest of the team in his own clumsy language, so that everyone only knew that whenever Koto wore it on his head and tried to recall his memories as he watched the dwarfs train hard underground, the dwarven crown would probably be faintly hot, giving him a warm feeling as if he was sitting on the edge of the fire.

Koto was convinced that this was a sign that the Crown of the Hearth was beginning to recognize him, and that with a little more time, the Crown, which had belonged to the previous kings of the clan, would surely see itself as its current master, and then enable himself to summon the army of dwarves known as the Guardians of the Hearth.

Urs pondered and thought that the dwarven warrior might really need a little more time to "awaken" the clan crown that was now in his hands, so he simply decided to make some special arrangements around him, and after a short discussion of the plan, he proposed: "In that case, Koto should stay in Palomet City for the first time." ”

"Stay? So you're going to have a detachment operation? The crow stood on the sidelines, and its swarthy pointed ears listened to the young man's words, and his sharp mind immediately realized a part of his thoughts.

"Yes, detachment operations." The young man looked sideways at Miss Poet and nodded bluntly, "We are temporarily divided into two teams, the first team will return to the surface and go to the Northlands, and the second team will stay in Palomit City to continue to complete the training of the new army of underground gnomes. ”

As he spoke, he smiled and reached out to his side, lightly holding down a prop in the shape of a divination crystal ball—another new invention that Bellinglith had successfully concocted over the course of several months in addition to the prototype of the magic guide, and there were currently two pairs of them, magical communication tools she had created with the help of Abel and Zeken.

This spherical magical communication tool uses the principle of spatial transfer of teleportation-like spells, transmitting only sound and charging once a day.

"Of course...... Then again, although the Sage of the Grey Court prophesied that war would break out in the Northlands, the plan to intervene in that war was strictly speaking a personal impulse of wishful thinking on my part. Urs hesitated for a few seconds, then smiled with relief, his usual brown eyes calmly swimming past the crowd, and the look seemed to say, if any of you don't want to go......

Then I won't force you to follow me.

After all, we are also friends who have been through so many times of adversity......

His gaze swept over his companions one by one, and when he landed on Thea's face, he saw that the silver-haired priest girl still returned the eyes and smile of absolute trust to herself, as if she replied silently: "No matter what, I will face and bear it with you, Urs." ”

And then there's Koto—

"Don't say such frustrating things, Captain brother!" Of course, the temperament of the dwarven warrior is still as straightforward as ever, and after reacting for a long time to hear the words of the young man, he immediately expressed his attitude in a grand manner, "The dwarf will never betray his good brother!" We...... Uh, well, I mean, even if you're not a dwarf, and I'm the only dwarf among us, I'm going to treat you, all of you, my good companions, like my brothers and sisters! With the fire on the fire, swear to Dietaline's mother, what conscience highland dwarf have you ever seen dare to abandon his brother or sister?! ”

"That's right...... Thank you, good brother. Hearing the dwarf's answer, Urs's heart touched slightly, and then he turned to look at the other companions around him, and then said that he might indeed think about something, "Then continue our discussion." According to the idea just now, Koto is tentatively appointed as a member of the second team that remains, and Xia and I are in the first team to return to the surface first, after all, the Northland Counts of the Golden Que Ying Empire are also familiar to Xia and me. ”

With that, he paused his speech and looked back at the crowd, this time with the intention of seeking the advice of his companions.

Raven Bird clasped her hands, looking lost in a moment's thought, and then proposed in her hoarse voice, "I ask to stay and be placed on the second team with the dwarf." ”

"Is it because there are still a lot of surrendered officers in the city?" Urs turned his face to her guess.

"That's right."

She nodded in acknowledgement, believing that the Drow soldiers who had surrendered a few months earlier really needed someone to stay behind to watch and oversee them.

Although the Drow elite soldiers under the command of Miela are not as good as the Heroic Knights of the Lion of the Thorns, they are still excellent compared to ordinary soldiers, and during this time, they have been placed in the city by the team to help train underground dwarf recruits, and now it seems that the effect is quite good.

The underground gnome recruits of Palomet City usually train in the fortress left behind by the Grey Dwarves - speaking of the Grey Dwarves, Larson and Hoddheck, the two young grey dwarf officers who had followed the Grey Dwarf officer Barend, actually accepted Urs's recruitment and chose to surrender after learning of Miera's defeat.

Urs didn't care about their names at that time, but after their triumph from the dark region, he suddenly remembered some details of his party in the battle to liberate the city of Palomet, so he recruited the two of them with the mentality of giving it a try, intending to see if the two gray dwarf officers who had been favored by Barend were really capable.

Larson is calm and composed, and Hoddheck is a qualified staff officer. The loyalty of the two of them was still in need of research, but their abilities did not disappoint the young people, and the training plan of the new underground dwarf army in recent months was arranged and taken care of by the two of them.

During the time they were acting in the name of the Crows, the Thorns defeated them, especially Miela in the Battle of the Broken Pit, which made the "Second Miss of the Zergons" suddenly establish a majestic image in the hearts of these surrenderers.

"Those Drow soldiers and the two grey dwarves don't dare disobey me......" Raven continued what he had just said, speaking in a haughty tone, "and in the meantime, I ask that Stonefist stay with me. ”

"Me?" The orc monk was surprised and turned to look at her.

"Of course, our good warrior monk, don't you think you should stay with me and do a job as a guard?" Facing the half-orc monk's gaze, Miss Poet smiled with a certain desire to conquer, "Or are you really not afraid that Edith Zelgun died unexpectedly because of something, causing the troops in the city to lose control?" ”

She opened her dark purple pupils, echoing the curvature of the corners of her mouth, as if casting two unacceptable glances at her.

Xia saw her behaving like this from a short distance, her delicate mind and super high perception suddenly guessed that she was a little more obvious, and suddenly half opened her mouth to say something to her, and then saw that she happened to turn her face half to herself, her slender fingers were raised to her lips to signal that she should not talk too much, and her purple eyes blinked meaningfully.

The wolf-eared girl suffocated, and immediately understood her meaningful eyes, so she closed her half-open mouth, and then glanced at Urs secretly, and raised her hand to touch her face to make sure that it was not accidentally reddened again.

She sometimes feels that she should find a way to change this easily shy problem......

Stone Fist looked at the silent interaction between Miss Poet and the wolf-eared girl, and suddenly couldn't help but sigh lightly, and then confessed as if he couldn't do anything about the "second lady of the Zelgun family" next to him: "I don't care, as long as I can help you with your plans." ”

"That's how the two of us were arranged." Raven Bird struck while the iron was hot, not giving Stonefist a chance to repent, and moved his gaze to Urs, "What do you think, Leader?" ”

…… I think it's okay.

Urs looked into her burning eyes and thought to himself if I said no, wouldn't it be a clear thing to annoy you?

After all, Miss Poet...... You're basically saying something, aren't you?

However, the so-called "if Edith Zelgun died unexpectedly and caused the surrender in the city to lose control", this concern does have some reason to pay attention to when you think about it, so it is also a feasible additional plan to let the orc monk stay by her side to put an extra bumper on the plan.

As for the rest of the companions, Abel, Bellingis, and Dorothy......

After pondering over and over again, the young man finally discussed with the group and decided to arrange for the Mechanic Mage and his black cat pet Thoros to stay in Palomit City together, while the little girl and the red-haired Miss Warlock were assigned to the team responsible for returning to the surface first, and took the planned first step to the Northland with himself and Thea.
