"Twenty days ago, Thunder City was broken, and 300,000 soldiers and civilians were captured!"

"More than a dozen demon beasts are wantonly devouring captives in Thunder City!"

"The blood sacrifice began, and 10,000 people died every day!"

"In the prisoner camp, there was a riot, and some of the prisoners escaped!"

"Sunset City-State sent scouts to encircle and suppress the captives!"

"The detective cavalry met a certain strong man, and all the monsters were dispatched!"

"There are more than ten demon beasts, and only two are left in Thunder City!"

"The Sunset City-State has accelerated the speed of the blood sacrifice, and the demon beast is born again!"

……

With a slight cough, Droz. Thunder read out the collected information one by one, and Dean sat on the side and listened quietly, without speaking.

This thought lasted about five minutes before it was over.

"Sage, we need to help the captives who have escaped - in the same way, we need to prepare enough time for the soldiers of the Holy Helm City, and the blood sacrifice in the Thunder City cannot continue...... The super-large-scale blood sacrifice is enough to make the birth of demon beasts no longer limited by time! If the number of monsters reaches a certain level, we will not have any chance! ”

Darrow. Thunder said to Dean.

There was bitterness in his words, and his expression was extremely worried.

Obviously, although these solutions have been thought of, young people do not have much confidence in such solutions.

To put it simply, these methods are just no way out.

"What about the West?"

Dean asked.

"You mean to ask for reinforcements from the West? This is really too difficult, not to mention that the city-states that are also fighting there are already hostile to each other and cannot send troops together, and even, as long as we think that one side asks for reinforcements, the remaining hostile side will also attack! ”

The young man smiled wryly.

"And. We know this kind of thing, and so does the Sunset City-State - they only need to provoke a little, and we have no chance! ”

"But, at least be able to distract them a little!"

Dean said slowly.

"You mean?"

The young man looked at Dean, his eyes flickering.

"We don't need reinforcements from the Western city-states, we just need enough reasons to convince the Sunset City-states!"

Dean said with a smile.

And then. Dean's gaze was on the parchment scroll in the young man's hand.

"I want to add to the fire, and there will be no less!"

"I'll give the order right away!"

The young man nodded silently.

"When are you leaving?"

Dean asked straight.

Thunder City's party is inevitable, whether it is the blood sacrifice there or the demon beasts of the blood sacrifice, they are Dean's targets.

The former is a huge power of faith, and the latter is also a power of faith.

And that's a must for Dean.

"Three hours later!"

Darrow. Thunder replied in the affirmative.

If they could, young people would be eager to go now. But there were some things he had to arrange.

"Good!"

Dean nodded, and turned to walk out of the lobby of the Ancestral Spirit Land.

He also knew about Droz. The Thunder needed to arrange some things, and, more clearly, these things didn't require his involvement.

At the very least, if he stays aside, he will definitely make the other person uncomfortable.

Because, something secret. It was certainly not something that an outsider like him could know.

So, Dean stood quietly outside the lobby of the Ancestral Spirit Land and waited.

"Sage-sama!"

Pound, who has been guarding outside the lobby of the Ancestral Spirit Land. Thunder came over. An invitation was sent to Dean.

"The cottage where I live is not far from here, if you can, please go there and wait! At least, there was some tea and refreshments there! ”

The other party said.

"Okay!"

Dean didn't refuse the other party's kindness and was able to spend three hours in a more comfortable posture, and Dean would not object.

The two of them immediately walked towards the path next to the lobby of the Ancestral Spirit Land.

The trail. It is also paved with gravel, hidden in the vines, and you need to pry away the green, tough plants with your hands to see them.

The path is not wide, and it is a long, winding path.

About two minutes later, a cabin appeared in front of Dean's eyes.

On the first floor of the chalet is a semi-open courtyard made of stone. There are dozens of humanoid targets and a lot of weapons.

Apparently a training ground.

However, at this time, the training ground was empty.

"In the previous battle, we directly reduced our manpower by more than half, and I will find more suitable people in the near future and add them again!"

Bond. Thunder saw Dean's attentive gaze and said immediately.

"Isn't it Thunder's last name?"

Dean asked.

"Well, it's no longer limited to Thunder's surname, but the best children of the common people can also join in! After all, the Thunder City-State at this moment is no longer the original Thunder City-State! ”

Bond. Thunder, this old man, saw it very thoroughly.

Even with Dean's help, Droz. Thunder is also wise and powerful, and it is impossible to restore the Thunder City-State to its original state in an instant.

The slaughter of Thunder City has already caused the Thunder City-State to lose more than half of its population.

And the next war will continue to cause the loss of the remaining population.

At the end of the war, the Thunder City-State probably didn't even have 30% of its original population.

Moreover, this is still a case of victory!

If it fails......

Naturally, there is nothing.

As soon as I thought of this, Pound. Thunder couldn't help but sigh, but the old man was very good at hiding his emotions, and after the expression on his face flashed, he made a gesture of please.

"Please come in, Sage!"

Bond. Thunder said.

There was no narrow hallway, and when he pushed the door open, Dean saw the living room mixed with the dining room, and there was a door inside, which Dean guessed should be the bedroom.

There were some animal skins on the ground. A fire was lit in the fireplace in the distance, making the room feel warm.

But it's just warmth.

Far from luxury.

After motioning for Dean to sit down, Pound. Thunder placed a teapot in front of the fireplace, filled it with water and tea leaves, and then added spices as the water tumbled.

The way Defendilan drinks tea is not far from that of Goldenz.

It is all boiled tea and various spices are added.

The only difference is. The spices are different.

Of course, it will also be debugged according to individual tastes.

Bond. The taste of Thunder should be close to Qing Tan, at least Dean didn't find cinnamon, ginger or even sauce in it, so Dean didn't stop the other party.

Otherwise, the weird and wonderful taste, Dean would rather drink clear tea.

"Long waiting!"

Bond. Thunder walked back with the teapot and poured the hot tea into the teacup in front of Dean.

It's not porcelain, it's just a bowl made of wood.

The only feature: big enough!

So much so that the two tea bowls divided a teapot of water, and the words of the snack. It's Pound. Thunder took out a cake-like snack from a nearby cupboard.

However, Dean could infer from his appearance that it was only slightly inferior to the dry rations of the march.

However, Dean did not refuse the other party's kindness.

After all, Dean hadn't tasted food for three days.

Although there are no physical needs, but psychologically. Dean still wanted to be satisfied.

Quack, quack!

With a crunch, Dean bit the snack in front of him. Then, take the tea bowl and drink it all.

There was no hint of tea drinking.

It's better to be eating, and it's still the kind of coolie selling among the common people.

However, this appearance did not arouse Pound. Thunder at the slightest disgust, on the contrary. The old man laughed appreciatively, and then, following Dean's example, finished the dim sum and tea soup.

"It's so much better than I expected! However, I think most nobles can't accept this way of eating! ”

Then. Bond. Thunder commented on this way of eating.

"That's because they don't have to worry about food and clothing, if they are really hungry, I'm afraid they won't care about anything!"

Dean said unconcernedly.

Although in terms of status, he is also a nobleman.

But Dean has never been proud of this status, but in a way, he likes the convenience that it brings.

Obviously, the Pound in front of him. Thunder is also this kind of person.

Even, more thorough than Dean.

I saw that the old man nodded in agreement, and then said: "I am extremely hungry, so naturally I don't care about anything, and the same is true of the current Thunder City-State!" It may continue to exist, or it may continue to destroy, but some guys still can't see the form in front of them clearly, and they are daydreaming......"

Dean didn't interrupt Pound. Thunder's words, quietly listening to the other party's narration.

Dean knew very well that the other party invited him here, and it was definitely not a so-called tea waiting.

The other party has something that he needs help with.

And if the other party pays the right amount, Dean doesn't mind helping.

As for relying on persuasion to get Dean to help?

Except for the Emerald Archduke and Dean's wife, there is basically nothing else possible.

"So, I'd like to ask you to do me a favor!"

Bond. Thunder said.

"What's the busy?"

Dean asked.

"Protect the young master, he will be the hope of the entire Thunder City-State!"

The old man said with a solemn expression.

"Protect Droz. Thunder? ”

Dean looked at the place in amazement.

This request was somewhat unexpected by Dean, who originally wanted to ask him to help arrest those who opposed it.

"Those who are against it, I will make them completely sober up and understand who is the master of the Thunder City-State, but there is a premise...... The young master must live! ”

Bond. As he spoke, Thunder took out a scroll and placed it in front of Dean.

"This is the 'skill' that the first ancestors got in the ruins, and it is also one of the sources of our Thunder Bloodline - and the same, your reward!"

Bond. Thunder said meticulously, his eyes staring at Dean.

Dean just touched the scroll with his fingertips and nodded with a smile.

"Okay!"

Dean said.
