Alien Knights

Chapter 457: Mysterious woman

Looking at the mighty team outside the Froststone City Gate, Todd, standing on the gate, frowned without saying a word.

"According to your order, the Froststone Army evacuated the people from the occupied area back to the city before retreating. There are a total of nearly 70,000 people. This is the third batch. It is expected that the population migration will be completed by the end of this month."

Evie, who was standing next to Todd, said this, while taking out a list and submitting it: "Also, this one is a list of the group's losses."

Todd took the list and sighed helplessly as he watched it: "A thousand and one hundred soldiers were lost, nineteen cities were lost...Three battle captains died in battle, even Casper..."

Evie nodded and said: "The Kingdom of Ulster also lost 3,000 soldiers in this war, but it is the Connaught people. They have been maintaining their strength and standing on the sidelines, except for some casualties when they attacked the Junka Fortress. , The military establishment is still relatively complete."

Todd returned the list to Minnie: "Where is the coalition of Ulster and Connaught now?"

Evie paused for a moment, and then said, "They didn't keep marching..."

"Didn't keep marching?"

"They are arguing, arguing over the lands we have given up."

Todd turned his head quite unexpectedly, looked at the Valkyrie beside him, and asked incredulously: "Stop the attack? Arguing over the land?! What do these people think?!"

"The two kingdoms of Ulster and Connaught are feuds in themselves. The reason why they are united this time is entirely because of the rise of Froststone City."

Evie shrugged at Todd: "In the face of victory in this battle, unlike the commanders who Ulster and Connaught participated in the battle, the nobles hiding behind could not see the cruelty of the war at all. They thought that the strength of Froststone City was nothing more than that. So, naturally, they focused their attention on the land that they had regained."

Todd couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this: "This result is really surprising."

"If you want me to say, it is a group of men without eggs! Fighting like a fleeing chicken, quarreling but with energy." Evie's eyes showed contempt and disdain: "The Ulster Kingdom claims Those land originally belonged to them, so naturally they wouldn't give up any of them; but the Connaughts, who had hardly contributed from the beginning to the end, said they were able to drive us away, thanks to their army, of course they wanted to divide up half of the land they had recovered. "

Todd waved his hand helplessly: "Let them continue to argue, it will do no harm to us... By the way, how is Cú Chulainn now?"

"Some people say they saw him return to the capital of Ulster, but after that, there is no record of him appearing in public."

"Get as much information about him as possible, I always feel that he won't just keep quiet like this..."

"Speaking of Cuchurin, I have one thing to ask you." Evie stared at Todd's eyes: "How long are you going to let that crow live?"

"Crow?"

After thinking for a moment, Todd understood who Evie was referring to: "What? What did Meredith do?"

"I don't like someone above me!"

Todd was taken aback, blurted out: "Which aspect are you referring to?"

"Whether it's residence or posture!" Evie showed a rare shame: "Whenever I lie on the bed and look above my head, I can always think of the woman there!"

Todd was a little helpless: "It's also a good intention for Meredith to stay here, and besides, she doesn't have any excessive words or deeds."

"No excessive words and deeds?" Evie said with her lips tightly closed. "This morning, I saw her outside the door of the small building. Guess what she said to me?"

"Say what?"

"She told me that she had heard of the powerful combat power of the Valkyrie, but what surprised her was that my performance on the bed did not quite match this title."

Evie's words made Todd inexplicable: "What does she mean by this?"

Evie stubbornly grasped the handle of the sword hilt, speaking in an angry and anxious tone: "Originally in the past, when I was with you, I could linger from the middle of the moon until the sun rose. But since you turned into After the dragon body, I always have less than half an hour, and I can no longer continue...So, this is not my problem at all! It must be a change in your body!"

Todd covered his forehead with his hand and laughed blankly: "Evie, you should know that this is not a reason to accuse Meredith. Besides, this woman has helped me several times, although there is more or less improper speech. , But there is no offense in her behavior, perhaps her original intention..."

"I know, Todd, I know that my accusations look ridiculous. But apart from this, I really can’t trust this woman in crow feathers. My instinct tells me that she doesn’t seem to have what it looks like on the surface. That's so simple... I always wanted to ask, do you know her past? Do you know her true identity? Do you know the purpose behind her doing these things?"

Evie looked wary and continued: "I encountered a similar situation when I was hunting. Those older, intelligent and ferocious beasts would even pretend to be domestic animals that had been raised by humans in order to let the hunters. Take it lightly."

Todd thought for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Meridis is indeed like a mystery to me. She has never mentioned her past, and has never shown importance or hostility to anything. In the words she talked with me, the only conversation that showed intense emotions was just to persuade me to retain my human identity and not to be fooled by the power..."

Evie said decisively: "I'm sure, there must be something behind this woman, she must have some hidden secrets..."

Todd looked at the several shamans waiting downstairs, and said to the Valkyrie next to him: "No matter what purpose Meredith is for, UU read www.uukanshu.com for the dead silence she brought this time. The gun, it can be said that it helped me a lot. Before there is any definite evidence, don’t draw any conclusions for the time being. I will talk to her at an appropriate time and place..."

Walking down the tower, Todd came to the shamans and asked, "How are things prepared?"

Minnie, who stood at the top of the shaman team, replied respectfully: "Son of the gods, in accordance with your edict, we have completed the first phase of the pilgrimage site, but the greening and roads have only been basically completed due to rush. The ashes of the war dead, transported back from the front, have all been placed in the temporary wooden sheds on the square of the pilgrimage site according to your instructions."

Todd nodded: "Very well, let's start preparing for the introduction ceremony of the heroes."

Minnie took all the shamans, bowed to Todd, and walked towards the entrance of the temple.

Seeing them leaving, Todd sighed inaudibly: "Perhaps these are nothing but I can at least do something to comfort the souls of believers."
