Chapter 657: Step by step

York City, inside the Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

The generals around the sand table are methodically arranging the next plan.

There was a hint of relief on everyone's face - the loss of Tijiao City was really good news for them.

Therefore, even the tower gate that has always been demanding harshness. York, at this time, also showed a loose side.

"What about the marshal?"

Tower Gate. York took a step back and asked the old knight.

When Dean returned from his victory over Mortig, and the advance layout of Tijiao City, as well as the successive incidents of rushing to the aid of the Emerald Capital, the tower gate that admired military honors. York, naturally, changed his name for Dean.

"The Marshal has just returned, but he has no intention of coming here - the Marshal said that the next step is to keep persecuting the army of Siti, and he will do the rest!"

The old knight, who had gone to greet Dean, couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Marshal wants to kill them all?"

Tower Gate. York was stunned.

With the harsh teachings of the Marquis of York, the Tower Gate. York is by no means flexible in military strategy, and can even be called rigid.

However, it is precisely because of such rigidity that for some ways to cooperate with gold-level powerhouses and finally win a war, Tamen. York, however, is too familiar♀ to be familiar with.

After all, his father was a gold-level powerhouse.

"I'm afraid so!"

Taking a deep breath, the old knight nodded.

"The aggressor, he should have received such a punishment!"

Tower Gate. York only groaned slightly. Just said directly.

And then. Walked briskly to the sand table. After relaying Dean's orders, he quickly joined in the development of the plan.

From beginning to end, the Grand Duke Swordsman, who was standing on the side, did not say a word.

For the time being, the Grand Duke swordsman, who is the liaison between the northern and southern armies of the Jade, is guarding his duty.

However, some doubts in my heart still exist.

For example: those powerful metal golems!

As a woman's sixth sense, Grand Duke Swordsman thinks Dean has something to hide from her.

However, now is clearly not the time to ask.

His eyes looked at the sand table where the discussion was in full swing. The Grand Duke Swordsman's Elder sighed slightly in his heart.

Compared to these doubts, some more difficult things are waiting for her!

Thinking of that, the Grand Duke Swordsman sighed again, and then, his face flushed slightly.

……

Inside a separate tent about a dozen feet away from the Chinese army's tent.

Dean, who was holding a quill pen, could clearly hear the noise in the Chinese army's tent.

He didn't pay much attention, though.

The current situation has a tower gate. York is here, and not a single qiē will be out of his control.

Therefore. Compared to the battlefield in front of you. Dean was thinking about the city in the sky, the Ring of Morbius, the High Priestess of the Cult, and the Being.

Even with the contract, Dean would not have fully believed in the Third Divine Son, 'Flowing Fire'.

Because, most of these things, he has not been exposed to at all.

Whether it's the previous life or this life.

All so!

"Sure enough, if you don't have enough strength, you can't see enough scenery?"

With a slightly self-deprecating smile, Dean began to write after a slight pause in the quill pen in his hand.

As Dean said, he will verify that what the other person says is true or false.

And around him, there is no shortage of such people.

Takashi from Sky City is obviously the most suitable.

Even if the other party showed that he did not want to participate in such a thing, Dean had no choice but to ask the other party for help.

At the beginning of the letter, Dean describes the general ins and outs of the matter.

Including what the third Divine Son, 'Flowing Fire', said about those who exist against that one, as well as the 'seekers', 'enslavers', and so on.

Dean wrote it all down in the letter, and then, wrote about his current difficulties.

Finally, I would like to give Takashi the most sincere apologies.

When the letter was written, Dean looked at it again.

After confirming that nothing was left behind, he put the letter in the envelope, covered it with fire paint, and handed it to Jack with the 'severed finger' in front of him.

"Long Lang should be in Vauban County, and you take this letter with you and find him; During this time, Tom will assist you throughout the process, and the Tiger will take you to get to Vauban as quickly as possible! ”

Dean commanded.

"Got it, sir!"

'Severed finger,' Jack replied respectfully.

When the self-hypnotic 'illusion' became real, Jack's loyalty to Dean had already gone beyond the ordinary realm.

Although it has not yet reached that qualitative change, it is also a matter of time.

As for the loyalty of 'severed' Jack, Dean is naturally clear.

"Protect it, Jack! Bon voyage! ”

Dean said to the tiger.

"Yes, sir!"

As soon as Tiger bowed, he and Jack with 'Severed Finger' walked briskly out of the tent.

And when the two of them left, Lauder came over and bowed down and reported: "My lord, in the bazaar of the Emerald City, there is indeed a restaurant, and its owner is indeed called Elliot - everyone has commented that this is a very good young man, with a humble and benevolent heart, and his cooking skills are also very good!" ”

As he spoke, Lauder pulled out a piece of parchment from his bosom.

On parchment, a portrait is drawn.

It is the third divine son 'Flowing Fire'...... Or more precisely, the appearance of the other party after covering up.

And this portrait, as well as the previous news, is from the 'Salvation Society'.

With the civilians of the entire Emerald City as the foundation, the 'Salvation Society' is definitely the most well-informed group of people in the Emerald Capital.

"Hmm!"

Picking up the portrait, Dean looked at it carefully, and finally nodded.

He at the moment. At least a third of the truth of the other party's words is confirmed.

And the remaining two-thirds?

You need to wait for Tatsuro's narration.

And...... The other party's 'help'.

Maybe. Can you ask that wizard tower master Mordis for help?

With a thoughtful thought in my heart. Jean leaned back slightly, put down the portrait in his hand, and tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop.

Seeing such a scene, Lauder immediately walked out quietly.

He knew very well that the adults to whom he was loyal were thinking.

And at this time, it is best not to disturb the other party.

Therefore, Lauder stood at the door of the tent very competently.

When the Grand Duke Swordsman came from the side, he saw such a scene.

Although Lauder tried to make himself look strong enough. It is sacrosanct, but the thin body and short sword are really not very convincing.

"I want to see Dean!"

The Grand Duke swordsman understood his intentions.

"Your Excellency Deta, can you wait a moment? Adults are thinking about something......"

A moment ago, he was still majestic and sacrosanct, but after seeing the great duke's swordsmanship, he immediately bent down and rubbed his hands with a look of embarrassment.

If it's someone else, even if it's a tower gate. When York came, Lauder would directly refuse sternly.

However, in the face of the Grand Duke swordsmanship for a long time. Lauder was unable to do that.

He knew very well the relationship between the adult he was loyal to and the lady in front of him.

It is not only a friend, but also a master and apprentice.

For the things that the Grand Duke Swordsman once taught himself. Dean didn't hide anything, especially the attendants around him, who knew it very well.

Therefore, Lauder could only face a dilemma when facing the chief swordsman.

But, fortunately, before Lauder's words fell, Dean's voice came from within—

"Is it an instructor? Come in! ”

With Dean's permission, Lauder naturally won't stop him anymore.

"Your Excellency Deta, please speak!"

Lauder pushed aside, bent over, and reached out.

Nodding at Lauder, the Grand Duke Swordsman walked into the solitary tent.

In this small tent, where you can see all of it at a glance, the Grand Duke's swordsman's gaze fell completely on Dean's body, and he was not aggressive.

It's still like the gentleness of the Grand Duke Swordsman's usual appearance.

But there was a touch of something different.

There are doubts, but more than that, there is shyness.

Dean didn't delve into this kind of gaze, he just subconsciously thought it was because of Tijiao City.

"It's not that I don't want to explain and notify in advance, after His Highness disappears, any plan needs to be kept absolutely confidential!"

Dean explained.

"You don't believe us?"

The Grand Duke Sword Master bit his lip and asked.

"No, I believe in you, instructor, and I believe in Erin, but the rest of the people can't make me absolutely trust!"

Dean reiterated.

"For example, my aunt?"

Grand Duke Swordsman asked directly.

"Well, your aunt, for example!"

Dean replied with the same directness.

After such a direct response, there was a brief silence in the tent.

After a few moments, the Grand Duke Swordsman spoke again.

"The previous plan against Fisher and Toffet finally failed, and my aunt suffered a big blow!"

She said.

"We've taken back Tijiao City!"

Dean said.

"It is precisely because Tijiao City has been recaptured in your plan that it seems that my aunt's plan is becoming more and more unbearable - otherwise, I would not have stayed here to act as a liaison between the North and the South! My aunt, as stubborn as ever...... She didn't think she played the slightest role in this fight! ”

The Grand Duke Swordsman smiled bitterly.

Dean didn't speak, and quietly looked at the Grand Duke Swordsman.

"Therefore, she thinks that she is not enough to rule the entire Deta family, and she wants me to inherit the position of the patriarch of the Deta family!"

The Grand Duke Swordsman said, and the bitter smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more intense.

"What do you think?"

Dean asked with a deep groan.

"I can only compromise...... Before a new heir appears! So, so ......"

The face of the Grand Duke Swordsman suddenly turned red.

"So?"

Dean looked at the Grand Duke Swordsman suspiciously.

"So, so ...... I want a baby! ”

Gritting his teeth, the Grand Duke Swordsman finally spoke.

However, the next moment, the Grand Duke Swordsman covered his face shyly, not daring to look at Dean.

Dean sat there, stiff.
