Cross didn't expect Cressia to come in such a timely manner, but fortunately, the red dragon princess was not the mastermind behind the scenes.

And Cresia's decisiveness just now made Cross certain one thing, Cressia is a pretty good commander. However, there is still a long way off.

"Cresia, I don't know if your troops in Sunset City will be disciplined, but our troops in Copperhill Town have discipline as their first goal.

I don't want your troops to drag us back on the battlefield in the future. ”

"Battlefield?" Chrysia wondered, was there still a chance to take back Sunrise?

"Yes, they are warriors, and of course they have to be on the battlefield to show their value. Of course, there's no way we're going to retake Sunset City. ”

Cresia's hope was extinguished in an instant.

"However, with the other cities and strongholds in Klein's territory, you have the right to choose. ”

"Sir Cross, you mean?"

"Well, we can't limit our vision to Sunset City, any place occupied by the Seatta army is a place we can conquer.

Of course, we can't do this for the time being, but that day is not far off. ”

Cresia's eyes suddenly brightened, Sunset City, a remote frontier land, was much worse than the rest of Klein's Territory.

If she could have a resource-rich place like Wolfheart City, Crecia wouldn't care about Sunset City.

She asked tentatively, "Lord Cross, you mean that if we take Wolfheart and I want it, you will give it to me?"

At this time, Cressia had already subconsciously regarded herself as Cross's subordinate.

"Well, if I capture the Fortress of the North Wind, I may give it to you as well. ”

After hearing this, Cresia's eyes straightened, and she couldn't help but swallow. All the loss and depression seemed to vanish in an instant.

She knew that she wouldn't be able to capture Wolfheart and Borean Fortress on her own, but if she joined forces with Cross, it was very likely that she would take both.

This red dragon princess has already set her sights on Wolf's Heart City and the fortress of the north wind, and she has even begun to imagine the future of ruling such a large area.

But the illusion lasted less than a few seconds, and she realized that these things were far from simple, "But...... What if Copperhill is attacked by Sunset City while we attack Wolf's Heart City or the Fortress of the North Wind?"

"Don't worry, Miria, the current ruler of Sunset City, has already made an alliance with me, so you don't have to worry about Sunset City. ”

Cresia sighed secretly: The person who can think of the tactics of Blackwater One Night City has already solved these worries.

However, Cresia was more worried about the Seayats, "What if we encounter the main force of Seayata when we attack? I don't think we can compete with that kind of army with our current strength." ”

"I'll talk about the main force of Seatta tomorrow. ”

Although Cross didn't answer directly, Cressia could already feel his composure from his words. So Cressia didn't ask any more questions, but replied with a "good" word.

Cross was pleased with Kresia's mental and military acumen, and of course, she suddenly had such a sharp mind because Cross had drawn her a blueprint for the future.

Cross didn't expect that this blueprint could restore Cressia in an instant, and the Red Dragon Princess's desire to rule was obviously stronger than Cross had imagined.

However, letting such a decent commander be a minor lord is obviously not the ultimate goal of Cross.

What's more, the impending crisis of Sephiroth must be resolved first.

"Cresia, what I just said to you, you need to keep it a secret. ”

"Uh-huh. Cressia nodded vigorously.

"Also, in order for us to be able to take those cities, you need to train your men well. ”

"Yes......! I'll go to the Stronghold first. ”

"Go ahead. ”

Cressia jumped up and down happily as she walked out of the house.

"Is this red dragon princess really a teenager? Cross muttered.

Recalling the conversation between the two just now, Nia became a little puzzled, "Lord Cross, do you really plan to recover the place occupied by the Seattas?"

"Hmm. Do you have any ideas?"

"I don't think it's a good strategy. ”

"Yes, Nia, you already know the word strategy, there is progress. ”

"Don't make fun of me, I'm seriously thinking about it. Nia pouted.

"We'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

With that, Cross lay down weakly again.

"Good~"

Nia put the broken door back up, and fearing that Cross would be disturbed, she didn't go back to her room, but lay down on her desk.

......

Early the next morning, Reiner came to wake Cross up. There's nothing special, it's just training every morning.

A warrior like Reiner, who is very fair and impartial, will not give Cross privileges because he is a lord, let alone treat Cross differently because of last night's incident.

Reiner, though not involved in last night's incident, had heard about it from Watson.

Cross had clearly not slept enough, and even Nia looked tired.

However, Cross did not blame Reiner.

Daily training is exactly what Cross asks for, and if he can't do it himself, then no one else will take it seriously.

Cross and Nia were shocked when they walked out of the house.

Standing in the barracks ready to train, there are not only the people of Copperhill Town, but also all the soldiers of Sunset City, of course, Crecia and Britney are also among them.

In addition to these people, there are many new faces, and there are quite a few of them, and Wendy seems to be registering them one by one.

"Who are those people?" Cross asked Reiner beside him.

"Your Excellency, they came from Sunset City last night. ”

"Sunset City?"

"Well, the original garrisons of Sunset City, and many residents of Sunset City. ”

"Oh, they escaped from Sunset City?"

Reiner shook his head, "I heard from them, the lord of Sunset City let them out. ”

Cross was puzzled, he didn't know what Miria had done.

At that moment, two of those men were waving at Cross, who recognized the two men, the owner and hostess of the Sunset City Tavern.

Looking at these people, the flame of hope in Cross's heart began to ignite.
