Looking at the mighty procession outside the Froststone City Gate, Todd, standing on the city gate, frowned and said nothing.
"According to your order, the Froststone Army evacuated the people in the occupied area back to the city before retreating. There are nearly 70,000 people in total. This is the third batch. It is expected that the population will be relocated by the end of this month."
Evie, who was standing next to Todd, said this while taking out a list and presenting it: "Also, this is the battle group's loss list."
Todd took the list and sighed helplessly as he read it: "One hundred and one hundred warriors were lost, nineteen cities fell...three chapter leaders died in the battle, and even Casper..."
Evie nodded and said: "The Kingdom of Ulster also lost three thousand soldiers in this war, but the Connaught people, they have been maintaining their strength and sitting on the sidelines, except for some casualties when they attacked the Rongkar Fortress.
, the military establishment is still relatively complete."
Todd handed the list back to Minnie: "Where are the combined forces of Ulster and Connaught attacking now?"
Evie paused for a moment and then said: "They did not continue to march..."
"Didn't we continue the march?"
"They are fighting over the land that we gave up."
Todd turned his head unexpectedly, looked at the Valkyrie beside him, and asked in disbelief: "Stop the attack? Fight over land?! What are these people thinking?!"
"The two kingdoms of Ulster and Connaught are feuding themselves. The reason why they are united this time is entirely because of the rise of Froststone City."
Evie shrugged towards Todd: "Facing the victory of this battle, unlike the commanders who participated in the battle in Ulster and Connaught, the nobles hiding in the rear could not see the cruelty of the war at all.
They thought that the strength of Froststone City was no more than this. So, naturally, they focused their attention on the recaptured lands."
Todd couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this: "This result is really surprising."
"If you ask me, they are a group of men without eggs! They are like chickens running away when fighting, but they are energetic when they quarrel." Evie's eyes showed contempt and disdain: "The Kingdom of Ulster claims
The land originally belonged to them, so naturally they would not give up any part of it; but the Connacht people, who had made almost no contribution from the beginning to the end, said that they were able to drive us away thanks to their army, so of course they wanted to take away half of the land they took back.
"
Todd waved his hand helplessly: "Let them continue to argue. It will not do any harm to us if this continues... By the way, how is Cu Chulainn doing now?"
"He was said to have been seen returning to Ulster's capital, but there is no record of him appearing in public after that."
"Get as much information about him as possible. I always feel that he will not remain silent like this..."
"Speaking of Cu Chulainn, I have something to ask you." Evie stared into Todd's eyes: "How long do you plan to keep that crow living?"
"crow?"
After thinking for a moment, Todd instantly understood who Evie was referring to: "What? What did Meredith do?"
"I don't like people on top of me!"
Todd was stunned and blurted out: "Which aspect are you referring to?"
"Whether it's the residence or the posture!" Evie showed a rare shyness and anger: "Whenever I lie on the bed and look above my head, I can always think of that woman there!"
Todd was a little helpless: "Meredith stayed here out of kindness. Besides, she didn't do anything excessive."
"No excessive words or deeds?" Evie pursed her lips and said, "This morning, I saw her outside the door of the small building. Guess what she said to me?"
"say what?"
"She told me that she had heard about the powerful fighting power of the Valkyrie, but what surprised her was that my performance in bed did not quite fit the name."
Evie's words puzzled Todd: "What did she mean by that?"
Evie grabbed the handle of the sword hilt tightly and spoke in an angry and anxious tone: "In the past, when I was with you, we could linger from the middle of the moon to the sunrise. But since you turned into
After taking the dragon body, I always find myself unable to continue within half an hour... So, this is not my problem at all! There must be a change in your body!"
Todd covered his forehead with his hands and laughed dumbly: "Evie, you should know that this is not a reason to accuse Meredith. Besides, this woman has helped me several times, although her words were somewhat inappropriate.
, but there is nothing offensive in her behavior, maybe her original intention..."
"I know, Todd, I know my accusations seem ridiculous. But, all that aside, I really can't trust this woman in the crow's feathers. My gut tells me she's not what she seems.
So simple... I have always wanted to ask, do you know her past? Do you know her true identity? Do you know the purpose behind her doing these things?"
Evie looked wary and continued: "I encountered similar situations when I was hunting. Those older, smarter ferocious beasts would even pretend to be domesticated animals, just to make the hunters
Take it lightly."
Todd thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "Meredith is indeed like a mystery to me. She has never mentioned her past, and she has never shown any importance or hostility to anything.
Among the conversations she had with me, the only one that showed intense emotion was just to persuade me to retain my identity as a human being and not to be blinded by power..."
Evie said categorically: "I'm sure there must be something behind this woman. She must have some shady secrets..."
Todd looked at the several shamans waiting under the tower and said to the Valkyrie beside him: "No matter what purpose Meredith has, the Death Gun she brought this time can be said to help
You have done me a favor. Don’t draw any conclusions for the time being without any definite evidence. I will talk to her at the appropriate time and place..."
After walking down the tower, Todd came to the shamans and asked, "How are things prepared?"
Minnie, who was standing at the head of the shaman team, replied respectfully: "Son of the gods, in accordance with your oracle, we have completed the first phase of the pilgrimage project. However, due to the haste, the greening and roads have only been basically completed.
The ashes of the war dead brought back from the front have all been placed in the temporary wooden sheds on the pilgrimage square according to your instructions."
Todd nodded: "Very good, let's start preparing for the induction ceremony of the heroic spirits."
Minnie led all the shamans, bowed to Todd, and then walked towards the entrance of the temple.
Watching them leave, Todd sighed inaudibly: "Maybe these are nothing, but I can at least do something to comfort the souls of believers."
