Seeing that a big battle was approaching, the atmosphere in the Baron's palace began to become tense, Spike and Steven were all gloomy and closed, and Don was much busier, contacting the Marquis of Sain and sending people around to investigate.

In the past few days, Don has sent a large number of spies to try to grasp the latest movements of Franvi, originally Don also wanted people to infiltrate Franvi's thief group, but since Gordon's sneak attack on Judith the fire fox, Franvi, who has increased his vigilance, will no longer easily recruit new people, and there is no way to start.

Sophia's classmates were very excited, because they had never experienced a real war, although there would be battles with the tribe from time to time, but they were all within the controllable range, which was equivalent to a disguised experience, and the Santis Academy naturally would not put these proud girls in a dangerous situation.

But Sophia couldn't be happy anyway, if any of them had an accident, she would have to bear a lot of responsibility, but seeing these people eager to try and gearing up, she didn't know how to stop it.

Just when Sophia was at a loss, Baron Don suddenly called her and Dio into the room, and when she entered the room, she saw Don and Spike and Steven talking about something in a whisper around a map.

"Sophia, you and Dio are ready to go back to the manor tomorrow. Don straightened up and threw down the pen in his hand.

"Back to the manor?" Sophia and Dio were stunned, they were going back a few days ago, and Don couldn't say anything, but why did it suddenly change today?

"Yes. Tang En nodded, looked at the expressions of the two and smiled: "Sophia, none of the people you brought have a simple background, and I can't afford to offend, so you better take them away quickly." ”

Sophia noticed that Don's expression was much softened compared to the previous day, and when she connected with what Don had just said, she immediately realized that Don En must be preparing to make a move.

Sophia thought for a moment and said, "I'll send them away and come back?"

"There's no need for that. Don smiled: "What, do you really think I'm old?"

Sophia shook her head, in fact, she also knew that her own strength would not play much role in such a battle, but she would have to distract Don to take care of herself, but if she didn't do anything like this, Sophia was a little unwilling.

"Sophia, listen to Donn. Steven said in a hoarse voice: "This is a battle between extreme samurai, you can't help anything, but will get us in the way, and besides, the Franvi bandits come and go like the wind, they won't fight us when they're at a disadvantage, and we won't fight with him when they're at a disadvantage, this war may last a long time, maybe even a few years, you better be obedient and leave immediately." ”

"Steven is right, all you have to do is protect yourself, and you don't have to worry about the rest, with a few of our old guys here, it's not your turn to make a move. Don glanced at Dio: "My daughter will be handed over to you, be careful in everything, and try not to leave the manor." ”

"Don't worry. Dio nodded.

"Franvi shouldn't know where Theodore came from, and naturally he won't pay attention to me, the baron, and when we fight with them, it won't be so easy to leave quietly. Tang En said slowly: "After you leave, I will spread a fake news that you have gone back to Santis City with your fiancé, and then, you can cultivate quietly in the manor, and don't get involved." ”

"How far is the manor from here?" Spike asked suddenly.

"It's about three days, what?" said Don.

"It's a little close. Spike frowned, "Even if they hide there, they could be affected by the war." ”

"No, Marquis Sain has already agreed to my plan. Don shook his head: "The army of the marquisate and the reinforcements of several counts will form a semi-circular encirclement and drive the Franvi bandits to the vicinity of the Gangdis Mountain, there is no need for Franvi to continue to infiltrate the depths of the Chris Plain, the battlefield will only get farther and farther away from here." ”

"What if Franvi must go deeper into the Plains of Chris?"

"What's in the depths of the Plains of Chris, and it's worth Franvi's desperate efforts?" Donn laughed, "Francis won't do anything good." ”

"Yes......" Spike nodded slowly.

"Alright, so be it. Tang En unceremoniously kicked the two out: "Go back and pack up, I'm afraid I won't be able to send you off tomorrow." ”

After leaving Donne's room, Sophia told Isabel the news, which immediately attracted complaints from everyone, blaming Sophia for looking down on them.

"Are you here to help me, or are you here to pick quarrels and provoke trouble?" Sophia looked at these violent women helplessly.

"Is there a conflict? I don't think so. A red-haired girl said with a grin, her eyes rolling, "Or...... How about we sneak behind your father's army, and what if it gets to us?"

"Don't even think about it. Sophia refused angrily: "Once the fight starts, there will definitely be spies everywhere, unless you dig a hole and hide it, you will definitely not be able to escape their search." ”

"Oh. The red-haired girl's delicate little face immediately collapsed, and she looked unwilling.

Sophia looked at these girls with a headache, don't look at them as more ladies than one in the academy, but after all, it is the age to jump, once there is no restraint from the tutor, the original form is suddenly revealed.

Pulling Isabel aside, Sophia whispered dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you help me persuade them, this kind of thing is not a joke." ”

Isabel smiled, "Do you think they will listen to me? But it should be much better when you wait until your estate, they just want to participate, and they don't have a chance." ”

"That's all there is to it, I hope nothing happens. Sophia sighed, and began to understand how hard the tutors of the academy were, on the one hand, to let these girls keep training to increase their strength, and on the other hand, to ensure their safety, it was easy to say, but it was really too difficult to do.

Although the girls were reluctant, they couldn't resist Sophia after all, and they all went back to the room and began to organize their clothes.

Early the next morning, a long train line drove out of the barony, the whole procession was spectacular, mainly because the dozen or so colorful carriages were too eye-catching, but swagger also had the benefit of swaggering, ordinary bandits did not dare to act rashly when they saw such a lineup, and they could think of it with their toes, and the people who were qualified to use this kind of luxurious carriage were definitely not something they could afford to offend.

Dio was sitting in the carriage chatting with Sophia, when the door was suddenly opened, Raymond's ill-intentioned face appeared in front of the two, seeing that Dio and Sophia were sitting there well, and did not find any ambiguity, Raymond's face showed a little disappointment.

Then, Gordon's figure appeared behind Raymond and followed him into the carriage.

"You two...... Why don't you stay in your own compartment, what are you doing here?" said Dio, helplessly.

"Dio, Raymond and I have come to ask for something. Gordon said to Dio.

"Tell me what? Dio looked at Raymond, who was also serious on the other side, and was a little surprised in his heart, it was rare to see these two guys passing by like this.

"How did you get to the Fourth Order in such a short period of time?" Gordon was obviously desperate for an answer, and looked at Dio without blinking.

Not only Raymond, but Sophia on the side also pricked up her ears, and she was equally concerned about this issue.

Dio was slightly stunned, and then relieved, I am afraid that the two of them are not the only people who want to know the answer to the question, but everyone else is not qualified to ask Dio.

Dio himself has also thought about why the speed of advancement is so fast, there is only one possibility when he thinks about it, that is, it is caused by his uninterrupted absorption of source power for more than ten years, but in this way, Dio can't say it, on the one hand, even if he tells them, they have no chance to try, on the other hand, Dio is worried about Sophia's feelings, if Sophia knows that she was actually a normal person in those years, but just hidden, I'm afraid she will be very sad.

After pondering for a while, Dio said slowly: "Actually, I can't tell, this is a natural thing, every time I advance, I don't feel any difficulty, but ...... I guess it has a lot to do with the way I cultivate. ”

Gordon and the others suddenly showed a look of disappointment, since it involves Dio's cultivation method, then it must be inconvenient to tell them, this has nothing to do with the intimacy between them and Dio, in their minds, Dio's cultivation method must have been taught to Dio by that mentor, without the permission of the mentor, Dio would never tell others such a private thing.

"You're in luck......" Gordon muttered.

"It's not a good thing. Raymond said, "Young Master Gordon from Sky City, have you ever heard of such a fast and effective cultivation method?"

"Nope. Gordon didn't seem to hear Raymond's teasing, and said honestly, "What about your house?"

"In our ......" Raymond's voice stopped abruptly, he reacted, and said with a grin: "I almost fell for you, hehehe...... I just won't tell you!"

"I'm not in a hurry, I'll find out one day anyway. Gordon said lightly: "There are more than 30 sisters in total, and such people are rare...... Even if it's a litter of raw ......"

"Do you have the audacity to say it again?" Raymond was furious.

Dio and Sophia looked at each other and smiled helplessly, for for them, a quiet life was a luxury.
