Leaving corpses on the ground, the Ulster army shouted "Thor has appeared" and fled in all directions like crazy.
Todd laughed and walked down the city wall, looking at the group of cheering warriors covered in blood in front of the city gate square. He happily walked into the crowd and greeted everyone cordially.
Looking at the red-faced soldiers in front of him, who didn't even have time to wipe off the blood stains on their faces, Todd opened his soul space, transformed into a tyrant, found all the tribal leaders and army officers in the Golden Palace, and asked them:
"How is the battle going in the city?"
In this splendid palace, people who could not suppress their excitement were talking loudly.
"The enemy is like a group of pigs in a slaughterhouse. They just scatter and run away. We haven't even encountered a decent resistance!"
"A great victory!"
"Our tribe captured the guard camp at the port and took control of all the ships in the harbor."
"The Red Branch Gladiators defeated the city's defenders and beheaded a count."
Listening to people's discussion, Todd nodded with satisfaction and began to arrange the next phase of the task: "The chiefs of all tribes listen to the order. In the name of the gods, I order you to release and collect all the slaves in the city and break the evil spirits on them.
Shackles, emptying the city of its wealth, and capturing the city's citizens. After completing these tasks, all retreat to the port area and begin boarding the ship as soon as possible."
"Red Branch Gladiators, I order you to guard the city gate. If any enemy forces in the city attempt to retake the city gate, defeat them! If reinforcements arrive from outside the city, notify other armies with horns and alarm bells!"
Todd turned his attention to the Valkyrie beside him: "Evie, you stay, I will have a task for you later."
Todd, who sent the tribe leader and army commanders out of the soul world and returned to their human form, sighed softly towards the main hall.
Valkyrie looked at him without speaking, quietly waiting for the other person to speak.
"Evie, I need you and your sisters to lead the North Island Knights to maintain order in the city..."
Evie frowned slightly: "Maintain...order?"
Todd leaned his back against the throne, his face slumped: "When the barbarian tribes liberate their people, those slaves who have been oppressed and tortured for generations will inevitably use methods a hundred times crueler to retaliate against their former masters."
Evie was a little strange: "Is there anything wrong with this?"
Todd glanced at her and said softly: "The name Ulster will disappear from the northern land sooner or later in the near future. This means that it won't be long before I will return to this land. At that time,
I will no longer be a plunderer, but a conqueror. So I don’t want this victory to create too much hatred among the people of Ulster.”
Evie thought for a moment and understood the meaning of Todd's words: "So, what kind of yardstick should I use to measure behavior? Moreover, you have to know that there are tens of thousands of slaves in Gugu City who are about to be liberated.
, and the North Island Knights only have three hundred people..."
Todd hesitated for a long time, and finally gave a difficult answer: "Control the killings and atrocities in the nobles' mansions, and try not to affect the civilians. I will loan all nine griffons to you for your use."
After handling the affairs of the soul space, he rode on Todd, the gryphon Henry, to the cliff in the north of the city, and flew to the entrance of a hidden cave.
A group of mysterious troops wearing gray robes with "protective umbrellas" embroidered on their shoulders were waiting at the entrance of the cave early. When they saw the griffins descending from the sky, they knelt down one after another.
Todd got off the gryphon and asked the crowd on the ground, "Are you the volunteers of the Alien Association?"
The leader was an old man with white beard and hair and blind eyes. He stood up and said respectfully: "For the continuation and welfare of the alien group, under the call of Lord Rachel, we are all members of the Muxi Kingdom Alien Association...
"
Todd looked around at the crowd around him and asked, "What's the situation inside now?"
"According to the route pointed out by Fergal, our people have found the underground secret passage and are now clearing out the enemy troops inside."
Todd lowered his head and glanced at him: "How many people are you here in total? What is the approximate strength of the enemy? Are there any losses in this operation?"
"The Alien Association in the North dispatched a total of ninety-six people." The old man's voice did not waver at all: "So far in this operation, there have been about a hundred enemies, and twelve of our companions have died."
Todd's tone was a little regretful: "Twelve people were sacrificed..."
The old man glanced at Todd quickly and added: "Without the equipment and explosives provided by Muxi City, I am afraid that more than half of the people killed this time would have been killed."
While the two were talking, a foreign species wrapped in stone armor came out of the cave and said to the leader: "The enemies in the passage have been cleared."
The alien old man nodded, raised his hand, and motioned for Todd to follow him.
The group walked through a damp underground tunnel, bypassed countless traps and traps, and finally came to two heavy stone doors.
Watching the leader arrange the patterns on the stone door in order, he grabbed an iron wheel axle next to the door and turned it several times before the stone door slowly opened.
Todd's curiosity, which had not bothered him for a long time, was faintly emerging again. He became more and more interested in the things hidden behind the door.
Walking into a wide underground hall, there was a faint sound of air movement, and the corpses of dead Ulster people could be seen everywhere on the ground.
Some of them were burned to death, and some had their bodies cut off with sharp weapons. There is no doubt that these are all the results of the battle of these alien troops.
After walking a few dozen meters further, Todd's field of vision suddenly broadened. Todd came to a steep mountain wall trail. In front of him was a huge naturally formed sinkhole. At a height of tens of meters above his head, there was a hole that was more than ten meters high.
A wide narrow pit.
The dazzling sunlight shines down from the entrance of the pit and into the sinkhole, but it does nothing to dispel the darkness in the sinkhole.
Todd came to the edge of the stone platform on the trail, squatted down and looked down. Below him was an abyss with no bottom, as if a huge black mouth would swallow everything at any time.
Todd straightened up and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that there would be such a huge pothole underground in Gugu City."
"To be precise, this place was once an active volcano." Fergal's voice suddenly sounded, causing everyone to look back.
Fergal, who was being escorted by two aliens, smiled bitterly and said to Todd: "Mr. Boyle, I am willing to share all the secrets I know with you, so you still refuse to believe me?"
Todd smiled and motioned to the alien soldier to let go of this guy: "Tell me, I want to hear your introduction about this place."
Fergal, who broke free from the restraints, twisted his sore wrist, nodded slightly and said, "Before the introduction, please allow me to show you something."
After obtaining Todd's consent, Fergal lay down on the ground and signaled everyone to stay quiet and make absolutely no sound. Then, he picked up a grape-sized stone from the ground and carefully threw it into the abyss.
The sound of stones colliding with the mountain wall kept echoing in the sinkhole.
After waiting for tens of seconds, the echo from the stone disappeared.
Almost half a minute later, just when Todd thought Fergal was teasing him, suddenly, a deafening roar of a beast resounded throughout the entire sinkhole.
