Who taught him to restore the country like this?

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 Territory?"

Tallulah 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...

Chapter 104 Choice

The night was dark and silent.

Suddenly, a shimmering light appeared in the wilderness twenty miles outside Baimu City. A huge army of thousands of people appeared in the wilderness, breaking the silence with the sound of horse hooves.

The armor gleamed coldly in the starlight, and the horse's hooves wrapped in thick cloth stepped on the weeds, leaving only a faint sound.

Leading the group was a strong young man in luxurious armor. He stopped with one hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and the other on the reins.

Looking at the vague outline of the Baimu City tower in the distance, he raised his hand and whispered the order to set up camp.

"Lord Krag, shouldn't we attack Whitewood Castle under cover of darkness?"

The deputy commander beside him asked in confusion.

Now that Baihe City has been taken, the only force left in the entire Thorn Territory is Baimu City, which supports the Duke's eldest son.

A single tree cannot support the whole city. People in Baimu City should understand this. One day is enough for many different voices to appear in Baimu City.

If they now launch a surprise attack under the cover of night, the Baimu City, which has different opinions, will inevitably become disorganized and will be unable to exert even 50% of its full strength.

This was a good opportunity for them to take over Baimu City in one fell swoop. He didn't understand why Krag chose to stop and set up camp at this moment.

"Do you think those who took over Shiraki Castle in one day with only a few hundred men are a bunch of idiots?"

Krag looked at the deputy commander with cold eyes. His voice was very low, but it was like a piece of cold iron hitting the adjutant's heart.

"Don't think your enemies are too stupid. What you see as an opportunity might just be a trap they've set for you."

Krag withdrew his gaze from the deputy commander and looked again at the distant Whitewood City.

Baimucheng was able to see through the conspiracy of "Shirakawacheng asking for help" and become the last lone member. There must be an outstanding leader behind him.

With such a leader, there would be no possibility of disagreements or chaos in Shiraki City.

On the contrary, Baimu City, as the last remaining member, will become more unified, united and powerful.

Because the guards and forces loyal to the Duke's eldest son had no choice but to surrender to Baimu City, and they all surrendered to Baimu City with the mentality of fighting to the death.

Nowadays, there are nearly three thousand guards gathered in Baimu City, and their strength cannot be underestimated.

But it was not to the extent that Krag was afraid. He was absolutely sure that he could capture Baimu City by force.
