Working Prophet

The female lord looked at the silver-haired but straight-backed old man in front of her, and rubbed her temples helplessly.

"Sir Yinsong, I heard that you are asking your men to pack your things. Are you planning to leave me too?"

"No, Sir Ilea, I came to you to implore you to send me and my people out on a harassment mission." Yinsong said.

"But you have already sent twenty people to carry out the harassment mission." The female lord said, "According to the agreement, each family will allocate manpower in the same proportion to carry out the harassment mission.

"You don't need me to remind you. You should also know how dangerous this mission is. Most people never come back."

"I know, and that's why I think you need to send someone with more experience."

"This has nothing to do with experience...those Wing Tribe people can fly, and there are giant dragons." The female lord said with a bitter smile.

Yinsong was silent for a moment, "I followed you to the Dragon's Back Mountains in an attempt to find my only son. Although I only found his body in the end, it was thanks to you that I was able to bring his body back.

"My heart is full of gratitude to you. The Novus family and I will never betray you, but regarding this current war, I do have different views from you and the Prophet Merlin.

"The tragedy that happened at Fort Pinestone proves that we should not concentrate our troops in one place, as they can easily be captured in one fell swoop. It is better to spread them out as much as possible. My men and I can act as bait.

"Attracting the attention of those Wing Tribe people, you and your people can temporarily retreat to the Gaigu Great Swamp. I heard that there are some people in your territory who are familiar with the environment there. You can continue to fight there."

"But Merlin wants us to gather the army. Our opponent is not those Wing Tribe people, nor is it the blue dragon. We also have dragons, and they are stronger. The tragedy of the Fredrickson family will not happen to us."

Miss Rabbit said, "To be honest, I don't know what that guy Keo thinks. I have extended invitations to him more than once, but he refused to join our alliance, saying that he would not betray the Figuerola family.

"At the same time, he didn't surrender to Solomon... he just dragged a group of people from the castle to die under the dragon's flames.

"I don't want to see this happen again, so I reject your request. I need you and your military experience. You should stay with me."

"You are the commander-in-chief, you have the final say." Seeing that he could not convince the female lord, Yin Song did not insist anymore. He bowed and stood up to leave.

And not long after he left, there was another rush of footsteps outside the door.

The female lord put her hand on her forehead, "I just want to rest for a while. Why do things always happen one after another? Come on, let's talk about it. What's the bad news this time?"

"It seems you don't welcome me back." A familiar voice came from outside the door.

The girl was stunned for a moment, and it wasn't until the man walked into the room that a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Ferdinand, it's you, you're back!"

"I'm back." The head of the Bathory family was as serious as ever. He looked dusty and the hair under his nose was longer. He must have been in a hurry to get back and didn't have time to trim it during the journey.

The next moment the female lord had given him a firm hug.

Ferdinand said, "Don't you want to ask me why I came back instead of going to Lionheart Castle?"

"I don't need to ask to know that you came back to fulfill the covenant made by the ancestors of our two families."

"On the way, I heard the news that Solomon was preparing to attack the west, and I also met his army. I had to take a slight detour. Fortunately, it was not too late to come back, but in this way, I broke my lord's heart. Prophecy by Saturday.”

"No, Merlin told me a long time ago that you would come back."

"Huh?" Ferdinand had a look of astonishment on his face.

"He also knows that you are destined to run in vain, but this is you, isn't it? Edward II also said that you are a true knight." The female lord patted the young knight on the shoulder.

"I will fight for you and the Prophet Merlin." The head of the Bathory family said softly.

I was so excited to see my friend Miss Rabbit again. So much so that I couldn't even hear the deep meaning behind Ferdinand's words.

As the Figuero family bowed their knees to the Wing Tribe people, the female lord had unknowingly become the last hope of the Western Territory, and many followers gradually gathered around her.

It's just that Miss Rabbit is now focused on how to win the upcoming war, and hasn't thought much about what will happen after the war.

In fact, these days, apart from dealing with various matters at hand, she spent the rest of her time praying to Saturday.

I hope the latter can perform miracles again.

And her devout prayers were finally answered. On the night Ferdinand returned, Hughes, who was lurking in the city in the lake, sent back an urgent report through the radio.

Although the dwarves and Solomon's imperial allies are still approaching Yanxue City as planned, the accompanying wing army secretly returned to Lake City tonight.

After they returned, they immediately ordered the city gate to be closed and no one was allowed to enter or exit.

After receiving this news, the female lord's already somewhat sleepy head suddenly woke up.

He jumped up from behind the desk, eyes flashing.

With Solomon's determination to win the Western Territory, especially Green Field, he had almost been urging the army to advance, and he was about to arrive at Yanxue City.

The latter is of great political significance to the Western Territory. As long as Solomon can win it, it means that he can officially announce that he has won the Western Territory.

And the Figuerola family, the former lords of the Western Territory, had surrendered, so this was not difficult for him at all.

But at this juncture, the Wing Clan army mysteriously returned to Lake City.

Clearly, they encountered some insurmountable difficulties.

Is the divine punishment finally about to begin?

The female lord's breathing became rapid, and her hands trembled slightly with excitement.

She wanted to share the good news with everyone as soon as possible, but she hesitated when she ran out of the study.

It wasn't because it was too late, but because the news had just come back, and because the sky was too dark, Hugh who was lurking in the city in the lake failed to collect enough information.

How many of those Yi tribesmen went back, whether Solomon also returned with him, or even whether Solomon showed up, these are still unclear for the time being.

The female lord decided to wait a little longer, but she knew in her heart that the most unbearable darkness before dawn was almost over, and the dawn was about to break through the sky.

And until then, the war between her and the Western Territory will truly begin.
