Spartacus was as noisy and prosperous as ever, and after the alliance with the border city, a large number of Terran warships occupied almost half of the port every day, and a large number of supplies and craftsmen came here from the territory of the Earl of Parrington, and then brought back the latest firearms, gunpowder, and precious materials of the sea.

If the most powerful and busiest person in the city is now the most powerful and busiest person, there is no doubt that Valenk has not participated in the war for a long time, although his strength is still at the level of a third-level magician, but his administrative talent also makes him shine in this team.

A good city manager can play as much of a role as a general in war, and Lear is well aware of this, so he has no intention of letting Valenque change careers.

Adela has not returned.

When Lear stepped out of the shining six-pointed star of the Magic Guild, Elder Raymond and Grand Sister Meran, who had been summoned earlier, were already waiting on the side, and with them were two elders he had never met, the same man and a woman, but judging from the fact that Raymond and Merlan were both standing half a way behind them, it seemed that the status of these two people in their respective organizations was even higher than the first two.

"Good day, Holy Son, may the Light of Order always be with you. ”

When Lear cast an inquiring look, the two men immediately took the initiative to say hello.

"Who are the two?"

The magical light behind Lear faded away, and he came back alone.

"Delo, Grand Elder of the Blind Brotherhood, this is Roland, the Grand Elder of the Sisters of Silence, we have been informed by Raymond that you are about to start an all-out war of faith, so we have rushed here from the headquarters non-stop, hoping to help you a little. ”

Although he was much older than Lear, Delo's tone was full of awe and humility when he answered, and aside from Lear's strength, the identity of the dragon god made him completely willing to lower himself.

"The dragon god will remember your devotion. ”

I have to say that the arrival of Delo and Roland is very timely for the upcoming all-out war, and Spartacus's current combat power may still have the strength to support a few medium-sized battles, but it is still a little powerless to instantly put himself on the opposite side of the whole world.

The arrival of Delo and Roland sends a clear signal to him that the Brotherhood of the Blind and the Sisters of Silence will spare no effort to support his expedition from today, which is completely different from the previous mere sending the clerical corps and providing material support to Spartacus.

Not to mention, that sizable Holy Knights will become a great combat force, and Lear vaguely remembers that in historical records, the Blind Brotherhood has dragon knights, and as another organization serving Yasha with the same name, the strength of the Sisters of Silence is certainly not to be underestimated.

With the strong support of these two organizations, although he will not be completely invincible in the future steps, at least he will be much more comfortable in the initiative of the war.

"Prepare the altar. Lear said to Raymond.

He didn't have too many pleasantries with Delo and Roland, but he didn't be cold either, just as he had done with Raymond and the others before, for these fanatics, worldly etiquette was insignificant, and the best and only reward they wanted was to let the dragon god's divine light of order shine throughout the world.

"You want to sacrifice?"

Delo was intrigued by this, and although sacrifice was no stranger to them, and they had even been rewarded with divine grace by sacrificing a few hearts of a hellboy to Asha not long ago, he was still a little excited to experience such a sacred ritual when he first arrived in Spartacus.

After all, although the main body of their sacrifice at the headquarters and Lear's sacrifice in Spartacus is the same, the carrier is completely different, and the dragon statue with a wingspan of thousands of kilometers can make people's hearts shake just by looking at it, not to mention how shocking it will be when that person's will descends directly.

If he can personally preside over this kind of sacrifice and directly feel the holy light of the dragon god, then he will not want any divine grace and willingly.

"Well, as soon as possible, I won't be staying long, and let Valenque and Blue come to the council hall to meet me. ”

Although Lear can directly communicate with the dragon god and give her the doppelganger of Thanatos, the atmosphere of the most important ritual sacrifice of Spartacus can greatly enhance the cohesion of the inhabitants and warriors.

Even if it's a little troublesome, sometimes formalism does have its value, which is why Lear didn't choose to avoid it.

It took about a day or two to prepare the sacrificial ceremony and announce the whole territory, but Spartacus was no longer a Dokdo island at this time, and the hybrids and natives of the surrounding islands also needed to be sprinkled with holy light, and this time gap was just right for Lear to replenish the ammunition supply for the army still stationed in Shining Sand.

The blessing of the Earl of Tophallton, Lear is now considered a wealthy family, and there are three space rings used to hold space rings alone, otherwise every time the army is outside, he will open the door of time and space and bring tens of thousands of troops to wear and wear, even he can't bear it.

You must know that the amount of magic consumed by the Gate of Time and Space is directly proportional to the number of people who pass through it, and the leyline node of Shining Sand City, which has only established a first-level magic guild, obviously can't support it.

However, Lear did not have much time to stay here, and it is estimated that the decisive battle on the plains of Bracaton is over, and if nothing else, the barbarians are either on their way to the hinterland of Erathia or on the way back to the rescue, the latter is obviously a little more likely.

Although he had ordered Ilore to lead men to intercept the messengers of the Beit League who had fled to the Brakkat Plains, he could not be sure whether there was such a thing as a fish that had slipped through the net, and the barbarians did not even have to think about how they would hate him if they received the news that the Beit League had been burned by him.

It would take ten days to march from Brakkat to the ruins of the Beit League, and five days to travel from the Beit League to Shining Sand, so he theoretically had plenty of time, but if you added the time to prepare for war, there was not much time left.

Importantly, he had no plans to fight the barbarians for the time being.

"My lord, are you looking for me?"

Lear had just stepped into the council hall with his front foot, and Valenk followed in with his hind foot, followed by the dwarven craftsman Blue.

"Sit down. ”

After saying that, Lear himself found a random place to sit down, he didn't really have much to do with these deployments, but when he sat down in his chair and glanced at Valenk casually, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"You've changed. He laughs.

"Huh?"

This sentence startled Valenk, who had just touched the chair's butt as if it were electrocuted, and then looked at Lear with a hint of trepidation and unease.

Valenke's reaction made Lear feel a little inexplicable, but then he thought that he had been too busy for more than a year and had almost no contact with each other, and after being the shopkeeper for a long time, it was inevitable that they would be a little unfamiliar with each other, coupled with the growing gap in each other's identity and strength, Valenk unconsciously had the kind of awe that his subordinates had when facing the lord.

He nodded for Valenque to sit down, then smiled and pointed to his upper lip, which followed his instructions and finally smiled at a look of realization.

Since the founding of Spartacus, Valenque has been almost exhausted as the sole administrator, and it is no exaggeration to say that every street and even every sewer is sprinkled with his thoughts and wisdom.

Although Valenque himself was a magician, the fatigue accumulated over the years also caused shallow wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and forehead, and he grew a beard to better reflect the majesty of the governor, which made him look more like a young man in his thirties than a hairy boy in his twenties.

The youthful light that had once been long since disappeared from his pupils, replaced by a wisdom and steadiness that had gone through ups and downs, and Lear said that he had changed precisely to refer to his appearance and temperament, but he did not want to be startled by Valenk's lack of understanding.

"Didn't you say that you have already found a few assistants, why do you still look tired of doing everything? ”

Originally, he called Valenke and Bluei to ask about the supply of weapons, but when he saw the former, he was not too anxious, and it didn't take long to chat, and he had been fighting and killing for a long time.

"Learning government affairs actually takes as much time and meticulousness as learning magic, although those people have a good foundation, but I still don't feel at ease about many things, plus you are away for a long time, and Lady Adela has also left Spartacus, there are some things that I can't decide, so I can only keep dragging it out, and then one by one becomes several mountains. ”

Valenque replied with a wry smile, although Lear's behavior warmed his heart after the misunderstanding was cleared up just now, but the long-term alienation still made him a little restrained when he spoke.

"Didn't I say you could take care of everything?" Lear was a little confused.

"When it comes to strategic material deployment and some high-level personnel, I'm worried about ......" Valenque didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but from his flickering eyes, Lear could already understand what he meant.

Wallenque feared overstepping his authority.

Although he is now the titular governor of Spartacus, after all, Lear is the real lord, and he may be able to play a big role in the management of the city, but if it comes to some sensitive matters such as high-level office arrangements and strategic resources, he is afraid that he will be criticized for being too proactive.

The fact that he died without a burial due to excessive power was not unheard of in the aristocratic stories he had heard when he was a child.

"You should look a little further ahead. Lear said lightly.

To be honest, he was not relieved or disappointed by Valenke's realization, which generally any king lord would like such a subordinate, but as a friend, this kind of restraint would make the distance between them more and more extensive.

"Your abilities will not be limited to Spartacus or even the sea, there will be a wider world waiting for you when we return to Antaglisi, and one thing I want you to always remember is that although I am now a lord and you are a governor, I had nothing in the beginning, and we were friends at that time. ”

As Lear finished speaking, two blazing rays of light rose from under Wallenk's eyes.
