Chapter 103 Miss you

Fork in the road.

The two looked at each other speechlessly.

One person said nothing after delivering the gift, expecting the other person to say something else.

One is worried about saying too much and making mistakes, so he waits for the other person to leave on his own accord.

The two of them stood there for who knows how long.

Just when Ron felt that the atmosphere was becoming somewhat ambiguous, a vibrant voice came from afar.

"Teacher Gatling!"

From a distance, you can see a figure running towards you, waving.

Ron's heart couldn't help but become nervous.

He secretly observed Glover's reaction to "a late-night meeting with an ordinary friend."

Well, good, no response.

It seems that I misunderstood Glovi. She is not here to blame me.

I told you, Ron and Glovi had only met a few times, so how could there be any feelings between them?

"I'm going back."

Glover took the coat off his shoulders and handed it back to Ron.

"Well, be careful."

Ron took the coat.

Glovi nodded slightly and turned to leave.

Tallulah ran over and gave the woman walking by a second, puzzled look.

Looks so familiar.

I seem to have seen it somewhere.

"Teacher Gatling, who is that girl?" asked Tallulah.

"do not know."

Ron watched Glovi walk away and replied with a calm expression.

Why would you meet someone in such a dark place without knowing them and even be so considerate as to put your coat on them?

Tallulah stared at Ron with a look that said, "Are you kidding me?"

Ron ignored her and looked at the large backpack Tallulah was carrying and asked, "Did you bring the things?"

"Humph."

Tallulah hummed twice in triumph, ripped open her coat, lifted up her shirt, revealing the four alloy rods inserted into the tracks around her slender waist.

Nice job.

Ron praised in his heart.

Last time I stole two, I was beaten half to death.

This time he stole four and ran away from home... I suggest he never come back to this house again.

"Has anyone discovered us?" Ron asked, observing the back.

"Don't worry, that vicious woman is out on a mission and won't be back until tomorrow morning," said Tallulah.

"Haha, you're not afraid at all that I'll take the alloy rod away?"

Ron couldn't help but find it a little funny when he saw Tallulah's expression, which showed that she was more cautious about her own family than outsiders.

"I believe Mr. Gatling is a good person and would not do such a thing. And even if you snatch it away, you can't use it." Tallulah said with a smile.

Having said that, it was actually impossible for her not to be on guard against Ron at all.

The alloy rod's utility is more than just converting elemental puppets.

Ron, knowing what the girl was thinking, smiled but said nothing.

"It's so cold, Mr. Gatling."

Tallulah rubbed her arms, her eyes looking at the coat in Ron's hand intentionally or unintentionally.

"It's a bit cold."

Ron put on his coat, which still had the faint scent of Glover on it.

"Run, and you won't feel cold anymore."

As he spoke, Ron took a step forward.

Tallulah: “…”

"Mr. Gatling, where are we going next?"

Tallulah followed Ron closely.

"Thorn Territory, Whitewood City." Ron said.

“Thorn Ridge?” Talulah had seen reports about Thorn Ridge in the morning paper in recent days.

"It seems like there's a war going on there. What are you doing there, teacher?"

"Go bring peace to Thorn Country," said Ron.

"Oh~" Tallulah's eyes lit up when she heard it.

She definitely wants to return to her home, the Arcane Academy.

So she brought out four alloy rods. After all, she would die if she brought only one, so it would be better to bring four and do something big to show that vicious woman.

"Is Shiraki Castle our stronghold?" asked Tallulah.

"Correct."

Ron nodded.

"There are many people in Shiraki City who want to bring peace to the Thorn Territory. They are all waiting for me to return."

cool!
Tallulah's eyes brightened.

I think there is great potential in this matter!

She took the initiative to ask Ron about the situation in Whitewood City.

As they walked, Ron told her about the situation in the Territory of Thorns.

……

Whitewood City.

City Lord's Mansion.

Late at night, Reggie was still sitting in the workshop handling affairs.

The desk was covered with battle reports and opinions submitted in the past few days. She hadn't had a good night's sleep since Ron left Whitewood City four days ago.

On the day Ron left, Silver City sent out an army of 3,000 men to carry out a violent purge against all those who disobeyed the transfer order.

This was something they didn't expect.

They didn't expect that the Duke's second son would dare to confront them directly, nor did they expect that three of the five major cities had already surrendered to the Duke's second son.

These three main cities sent out troops to cooperate with the army of Silver City to carry out a large-scale elimination of forces loyal to the Duke's eldest son.

In just one day, except for Shiraki City and Shirakawa City, all other forces loyal to the Duke's eldest son disappeared.

Either die or surrender.

Faced with the fierce attack from Silver City, the three main cities, and the gathered troops, a total of more than 5,000 people, Baimu City and Baihe City were simply unable to withstand it.

Yesterday morning, Baihe City sent people to ask for help, hoping that Baimu City could send out a thousand troops to launch a surprise attack on another main city with empty troops while Baihe City was under siege.

It doesn't matter if we can't capture it. As long as the other three main cities know that there is a risk of being stolen, they will not dare to send a large number of troops to besiege Baihe City, and the pressure on Baihe City will be reduced a lot.

At that time, most of the senior officials in Shiraki City agreed with Shirakawa City's request for assistance.

Reggie almost approved of this course of action.

But at the critical moment, she remembered Ron's instructions before leaving - even if someone asked for help, she should not leave Baimu City.

In the end, she rejected Baihe City's request for help.

Then that night, they learned from the escaped Baihe City guards that Baihe City had been captured by the Baiyin City army the night before they asked for help.

The people who came to ask for help yesterday were actually sent by Silver City.

Those people in Shiraki City who agreed to support at that time suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

If they had really sent troops to attack the so-called empty city in the morning, they might have been wiped out by now.

Fortunately, Regis finally rejected the proposal for help.

They looked at Reggie with admiration.

And Reggie was also scared.

She is quite talented in management, but when it comes to leading troops in battle and scheming, she is just a helpless novice.

She did not feel grateful for her escape from death. On the contrary, a heavy pressure weighed on her heart, making her afraid to make choices.

Sitting in the position of city lord, all matters must be decided by her, and every decision she makes determines the life and death of Baimu City.

I made the right choice by luck this time, but what about next time?

Can I choose it next time?

Reggie, who was feeling a little suffocated, began to miss Ron and admire him.

Because Ron never feels this kind of pressure. Every decision he makes is full of confidence, and he easily guides everyone in the right direction.

She hadn't thought it was a big deal before, thinking Ron was just a blindly arrogant lunatic.

Now that she is in this position, thinking back on Ron's previous behavior, he is simply a hero full of leadership charisma!

Your Majesty Ron, I miss you, please come back soon...
