Reggie smiled and shook his head.

"It's all my fault for being useless."

Renee lowered her head. She could tell that Reggie was forcing himself, but she couldn't help him.

"You've done a great job."

Reggie reached out and gently rubbed Renee's head to comfort her.

Renee lowered her head and remained silent.

bang bang.

At that moment, the half-open door was knocked on again.

Then, Saul, the sheriff of White Bear Town, pushed open the door and walked in.

“Miss Reggie.” Thor walked to the desk and bowed to Reggie.

“Sheriff Saul, what do you need me for?” Reggie asked.

"A group of guards claiming to be from Whitewind City have arrived at the city gate. They want to join us. Sheriff Singh sent me to ask you whether we should accept them?" Thor reported.

White Wind City?

Reggie frowned slightly.

Isn't that one of the main cities that submitted to the Duke's second son?

Why would they come to seek refuge in Whitewood City?

Could it be that there's a disagreement among them?

Or is it that... his defection was a pretense, and his true intention was to infiltrate Whitewood City as an inside agent?

"How many of them are there?" Reggie asked.

“More than two hundred people,” Thor replied.

so many people?

Reggie's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

If it's only a few dozen people, we don't need to think so much; just let them into the city, control them, and interrogate them.

However, if more than two hundred people were released into the city and things got out of control, it would be enough to cause considerable chaos in Whitewood City.

Reggie stood up and decided to go to the city gate himself to check the situation before making a decision.

As soon as I took a step, my vision suddenly went blurry.

"Sister Reggie."

Renee quickly caught her swaying body.

"Miss Reggie, why don't you take a rest?" Thor said with concern upon seeing her.

“I’m fine,” Reggie shook her head. “I just sat for too long.”

She steadied herself by holding onto the edge of the table, then left the office and walked towards the city gate.

On the city wall of Whitewood City, Sheriff Singh's eyes were fixed like a hawk's as he watched a middle-aged man about fifty meters in front of the city gate.

Dozens of meters behind this middle-aged man were more than two hundred soldiers standing in neat rows.

They were all dressed in civilian clothes, without armor, and few of them carried weapons.

According to the middle-aged man, they were all forced to submit to the Duke's second son. Not long ago, when White Wind City sent troops to attack White River City, they disguised themselves as civilians and escaped from the Duke's second son's control, which is how they managed to escape.

"Lord Singh, Miss Reggie has arrived."

His observation was interrupted by the sentry's report.

Singh turned around and looked at the orc girl climbing the stone steps.

This young orc girl was forcibly placed in the position of city lord by Mr. Thomson.

He was initially skeptical, but after witnessing the young city lord's outstanding governance abilities, he came to approve of him.

"How is the situation?"

Reggie came to Singh's side and leaned on the battlements to look down at the crowd in the distance.

Singh relayed the contents of his conversation with the middle-aged man to Reggie.

“I’ve had people familiar with Whitewind City confirm it. His name is Eamon, and he’s a captain in the Whitewind City security team. He did indeed side with Young Master Ole during the last fight between the two young masters.”

There wasn't a single flaw in what the other party said.

After hearing this, Reggie faced another choice, and the pressure in her heart gradually increased, with a layer of sweat seeping from the back of her neck.

Based on the available evidence, there is an 80% chance that what the other party said is credible, and these people are genuinely coming to seek refuge.

Having experienced the previous incident where Baihe City sought help, she was extremely vigilant about everything.

She feared this was yet another enemy plot.

What do you think?

Reggie paused for a moment, then asked Singh for his opinion.

"Now all four major cities are controlled by the Duke's second son. We are weak and alone. If we want to fight against them, we must gather all the forces we can."

Singh calmly analyzed the situation.

Chapter 105 If only His Majesty hadn't died

Singh's meaning is already very clear.

Accept these people.

Reggie fell silent again.

Her breathing grew heavy and rapid, and just as she was wondering what to do, the sentry shouted a warning:

"Warning! Enemy troops ahead! Enemy troops ahead..."

Upon hearing the sound, the people on the city wall froze, looking up into the distance.

Dust billowed from the horizon like a yellow dragon as a cavalry charge charged forward with unstoppable momentum, the coat of arms of the Duke of Thornholde fluttering in the wind.

Those are the army of Silver City!

Under the city wall, the guards of White Wind City also discovered the appearance of the Silver City army. The guards with weapons rushed to the rear and took combat stances.

But seeing the army surging in like a tide, they felt fear and their feet moved backward uncontrollably.

They retreated to a point thirty meters from the city gate, while the enemy's iron cavalry had already reached within a hundred meters of Whitewood City.

These cavalrymen showed no sign of stopping; they charged menacingly toward the two hundred rebel soldiers at the city gate.

"Miss Reggie, please make a decision quickly."

Singh's voice sounded somewhat hurried.

The two hundred guards who came to the city to seek refuge were mostly unarmed. Once the iron cavalry charged close, these men had no ability to resist.

As the enemy cavalry drew ever closer, Reggie finally made his decision.

"Open the city gates!"

At Reggie's command, the gates of Whitewood City slowly opened.

On the city wall, hundreds of arrows were fired simultaneously, accompanied by a large amount of magic, to prevent the Silver City cavalry from getting closer.

The Silver City cavalry had to halt their advance.

In the end, the two hundred or so people from Baifeng City entered Baimu City without any major incidents.

The army attacking Silver City was also driven back.

"Thank you for your trust in us."

In Baimu City, Amon, as the leader of these people, solemnly expressed his gratitude to Reggie.

Reggie nodded slightly and said, "Captain Eamon, I would like you to tell us about the situation in Whitewind City and the other two main cities that have sided with the Duke's second son."

"Ok."

Eamon followed Reggie and Singh away.

The two hundred guards under his command were disarmed by Baimucheng and placed under separate supervision.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Ron and Talulah arrived in a small town that was two territories away from Thornlands.

The two found a hotel and ordered two breakfasts and a newspaper.

Please enjoy your meal.

The hotel staff brought the meals and newspaper.

"Thank you."

Talulah politely thanked her and reached for the morning paper.

Snapped.

Ron slapped Talulah's hand away, took the morning paper, and started reading it while eating breakfast.

Today's front page features content related to the third war of the divine kingdoms.

"On October 20th, the Emerald Kingdom defeated the alliance of the Kingdom of Layton and the Kingdom of Doma on the Noah front, and forcefully took over the territory of the Kingdom of Doma..."

"On October 22nd, the Emerald Kingdom conquered the capital of the Kingdom of Doma. Following the Kingdom of Lah, another kingdom has fallen in the third war of the gods..."

"This jade kingdom is so fierce."

Talulah peeked out, looked at the newspaper in Ron's hand, took a bite of bread, and said.

"It first destroyed the Kingdom of Lach, and now it has destroyed the Kingdom of Doma. The Kingdom of Layton will probably be destroyed soon as well."

Talulah shrank her shoulders, feeling a chill run down her spine.
