Valeera looked at the glittering blueprints of the Thieves Guild in Qi Ge's hand and asked in surprise:
"Are you an architect?
What are you doing?
Qi Ge smiled slightly:
"Can't you see? The blueprint has been modified.
Small thieves guilds are still not enough. You don't think that you few will be the only thieves in my territory in the future, do you?
As for the nine major forces, there must be at least several thousand, if not tens of thousands."
"Blueprint modification?!"
Valeera was shocked:
"Please don't make any changes. If you make a mistake, we won't have a place to work."
Qi Ge smiled confidently.
"Don't worry, it won't break down. If it does, I'll give you the Castle."
[System prompt: Do you want to initiate sublimation transformation of the [Small Thieves Guild] blueprint? ]

"Failure? Sorry, fate is my ally!
Confirm sublimation! "
【System prompt: Sublimation begins! 】
The drawing in Qi Ge's hand suddenly emitted a bright light. Then, Qi Ge's shadow became longer and longer under the light, and gradually rose, finally wrapping the drawing in Qi Ge's hand.
Immediately afterwards, the resources in Qi Ge's pocket flew out silently and merged into the blueprint.
Gradually, the white drawing in Qi Ge's hand turned as black as ink.
【System prompt: Deduct 70,000 gold coins and 16 shadow stones.
Sublimation transformation was initiated successfully. 】

"Wow! That's awesome!!"
Qi Ge looked at the blueprint in his hand and took a deep breath.
“Four effects, and the last one is so awesome.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a mythical building.”
Seeing Qi Ge's exaggerated reaction, Valeera immediately became curious.
"My Lord, what have you transformed? Can you let me see it?"
"Give."
Qi Ge handed it over generously.
"Hiss! No wonder your territory has so many miraculous buildings."
Valeera took it and took a look, then she took a deep breath.
“In just a short time, you have transformed a miraculous building with such a powerful effect.
This is so awesome!
My Lord, I never thought you were such a great architect!
No wonder the Grand Father asked me to follow you."
"Captain, what is it? Can you let me see it?"
"I'm curious, too."
A group of miracle thieves came over.
Valeera glanced at the Seven Pigeons inquiringly.
Qi Ge waved his hand generously:
"Just watch and see. Anyway, this will be your base from now on. You will know sooner or later."
Then the thieves exclaimed:
"Wow! It's so strong!"
"What level of architect is the new lord?"
"Our Thieves Guild is blessed."
Amid the exclamations, Qi Ge smiled smugly in his heart.
One 5th level myth, plus twenty-nine 5th level miracles.
The thief uncle sent an extremely powerful army of thieves.
The NPC troops under Qi Ge were simply not capable of fighting against them.
Qi Ge believed that there would not be many such elite soldiers even in the entire Thieves Guild.
This gift is indeed huge.
Although the gifts are good, it depends on whether they can eat them. After all, their hearts are with the Thieves Guild.
Even if there is an order from the thief uncle, there is a world of difference between being convinced in one's heart and obeying it verbally.
Now that Qi Ge has shown his abilities, they can more or less curb their arrogance.
"My Lord, please."
Just when Qi Ge was feeling proud, the blueprint of [Dark Night Guild] turned around and returned to Qi Ge's hands.
Qi Ge took the drawing, frowned, and felt something was wrong .
As he lowered his head, the drawing turned white.
[Small Thieves Guild Blueprint]
Seven Pigeons: ...
Qi Ge has a toothache.
"Valila, what are you doing?"
Valeera blinked her eyes with an innocent expression:
"My Lord, there was an accident.
The Dark Night Guild blueprint was accidentally lost.
This is compensation, how about you remodel it?"
Qi Ge was so angry.
“It was lost after one turn?”
"Yeah! How come it got lost after just one turn?! What an unfortunate coincidence."
Seven Pigeons: ...
The Seven Pigeons mercilessly stabbed Valeera:
Duang!
"Stop making trouble, hand it over.
Do you think that renovation is something you can do casually? It takes a lot of effort, okay?
I have to rest for a long time after each transformation."
"Alas. What a pity."
Valeera sighed softly, and with a flip of her hand, she produced the blueprint of the [Dark Night Guild].
"My Lord, I found it."
Seven Pigeons: ...
"Thank you!" Qi Ge took back the blueprint of [Dark Night Guild].
"You're welcome." Valeera said calmly.
Qi Ge patted the drawings in his hand and said:
“Everything else is easy, except these 60 Shadow Stones.
Shadowstone is a specialty of the Shadow Realm, and your Thieves Guild’s hometown is in the Shadow Realm.
Valeera, do you have any support?"
Valeera refused very seriously:
“Yes. But no.
The property we have is the public property of the Thieves Guild and cannot be lent out or given away casually."
"Well, if it's repaired sooner, you can move in sooner. This is also for your own good."
Qi Ge gave kind advice.
Valeera refused to listen and said:
"No, my Lord. Unless you have the permission of the Grand Father, we cannot lend you the Shadow Stone."
"Well, that's easy."
As Qi Ge spoke, he took out a conch with black patterns.
He gently shook the conch dozens of times, and soon, sounds came out of the conch.
"What is it?"
"Uncle Thief, I'm Qi Ge, that..."
"Who is your uncle thief? I am the noble void guide, don't shout nonsense."
Seven Pigeons: ...
"What! This is clearly the conch shell I used to call the thief uncle.
How come the communication conch that I gave to the thief uncle ended up in the hands of you, a noble Void Guide?
Tell me quickly, what did you do to my uncle the thief? "
In an instant, the black-patterned conch fell silent.
After a while, the sound came from the conch again.
“Oh, you are the Seven Pigeons that Anothatch told me about, right?
Are you looking for Anothaki? He's asleep. Wait, I'll call him."
Then, two completely different voices came from the conch.
"Anothaki, wake up."
"What?"
"Your conch shell is ringing. Someone is looking for you."
"Oh? It's the conch of the Seven Pigeons. Give it to me."
"Ahem. Qi Ge, I'm Anothaki. What's up?"
grass!
Qi Ge was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
It's so funny that the thief is trying to save his dignity even though his identity has been exposed.
Okay, okay, you are a demigod, just be happy.
Qi Ge suppressed his laughter and said:
"Uncle Thief, my territory is short of a few hundred Shadow Stones. Can I ask you for some support?"
"Dark Shadow Stone? Didn't I send Vali to your place? You didn't receive it?"
Qi Ge glanced at Valila and said, "Got it."
"Just get it. If you need the Shadow Stone, just ask Valeera directly.
We have a lot of this stuff in the Shadowlands.
If she refuses to give it to you, you can tell her the code 922768. She will know what it means.
What else?
If you have something to say, please tell me now. I am busy now. "
"without……"
Crack.
As soon as Qi Ge said nothing, the conch was immediately destroyed.
The Seven Doves looked at Valeera mockingly, and Valeera looked at the Seven Doves sadly.
"The code is 922768?" Qi Ge said tentatively.
"Gu. I'll give it to you, alright?" Valeera looked bitter.
"Are you the Godfather's illegitimate son outside?
Why is the Grand Godfather so kind to you? "
The seven pigeons laughed happily.
"Do you think I look like that?"
“It seems quite similar, but I believe in the character of the Grand Father.
If you were really his illegitimate child, he wouldn’t have hidden it from us.”
Vali reached out and took a pocket from her waist.
“These are all the guild resources we brought with us this time.
It’s all up to you.”
Qi Ge took it without hesitation and took a look. Wow, it was quite a lot. There were hundreds of thousands of gold coins alone, and various resources were countless.
Uncle thief is awesome.
The Seven Pigeons could have taken everything away, but they only took out 100 Shadow Stones and returned the rest to Valeera.
"Let's go, I'll find the goblin construction team to help you build the guild.
From now on, we are a family.”
Valeera looked at the gentle smile on Qi Ge's face and his upright behavior, and for a moment, she was actually moved.
…
…
The Seven Pigeons were having a smooth time in the territory, but Catherine's team that was trying to fight against King Griffin suffered repeated setbacks.
"Your Majesty, the road ahead is blocked by boulders again."
A member of the Round Table Queen's Guard half-knelt in front of Catherine and said shamefully:
"They are high-ranking knights disguised as bandits. They destroyed the mountain and evacuated too quickly. We couldn't catch up with them."
Again. This is the sixth time.
Catherine took a deep breath, waved her hand, and said:
"Notify the entire army to temporarily rest and order the chosen of the Yasha gods to help clear the boulders."
As soon as the queen's order came, the players immediately started howling.
"Go! Brothers from the Angel Faith Guild are here to grab contribution points."
"Let go of that stone and let us cheer for our queen!"
"The Dragon Subduing Guild has a collection of flying mounts. Let's fly up and clear the small rocks on the top first."
Clearing the scattered boulders that block the road is a very dangerous task. The boulders are large and small and piled together in a disorderly manner. If you are not careful, they will cause a secondary collapse.
Once the collapse occurs, no soldiers or heroes near the pile of rocks will be spared.
But for the fearless Yasha God Chosen, this kind of death that does not result in the loss of heroic spirits does not matter at all.
They rushed to each other, chasing each other, trying to grab the right to move the huge rocks.
Catherine stood on the top of the hill, watching the players clearing the stones fearlessly.
From time to time, huge rocks would roll down, crushing the brave and fearless chosen people of Yasha into spots of light.
"Oops! I lost my head!"
At this moment, a rainbow unicorn's head was smashed by a huge rock and separated from its body.
The head drew an elegant parabola in the air and landed at Catherine's feet.
Catherine watched the rainbow unicorn's head gradually turn into a point of light and disappear, and she couldn't help but feel very fortunate.
“Fortunately, I listened to Qi Ge’s words and waited for this batch of Asian God’s Chosen.
Without them, the various traps and obstacles along the way would be enough to cause my troops to suffer heavy losses and lower their morale."
While Catherine was thanking the Seven Pigeons, she was also very annoyed.
“This knight group disguised as bandits that has been following and harassing me is not only capable of chopping down an entire mountain and smashing it into boulders like this, but also has a retreat speed that even the [Round Table Queen’s Guard] cannot catch up with.
Looking at the entire Erathia, apart from Mrak's resistance knights, there is only Taris's [Knights of the Holy Lance].
The only one who can command Taris is Roland.
Qi Ge is right, Roland has indeed joined forces with Ronis. "
Catherine's pretty face finally showed a hint of loss and fatigue.
"My father has been transformed into the Undead and is slaughtering my people.
My husband completely sided with Ronis and drew his sword against me.
Father, you are right.
A king has allies but no relatives, and benefits but no ruthlessness. "
Thinking of this, Catherine couldn't help but look up at the sky.
"Did you see that, Gru?
Even if I don't take the initiative to approach you, Roland will push me to your side. "
Thanks to the players' unremitting efforts, the boulders were quickly cleared away.
Catherine drew her sword high in the air, pointed forward, and gave the order:
"March! Target, Karl's ability."
【Karl's abilities】
The Roland Territory is closest to the Queen's Territory. Anyone who wants to reach the west from the central and southern parts of Erathia must pass through here.
Roland named this territory after his own surname, which is also the name of King Kalben who founded Enros. His purpose is obvious to everyone.
This was his way of reminding the entire Erathia that he, Roland, was the legitimate heir of King Kalben and had nobler blood than Catherine.
It's like some Qing dynasty veterans are eager to tattoo the four words "Aisin-Gioro" on their faces.
Catherine shrugged it off.
“There’s nothing wrong with being proud of your bloodline and your family name.
But Roland didn't understand that bloodline and surname are the halo of glory when reaching the top, not the life-saving straw when failing.
Only noble character and powerful strength can make people truly follow you.
A true hero should follow Mrak Galant's example and create a family with his own name."
Queen Catherine's troops were made up of elite veterans who had just returned from the battlefields of hell. They were experienced and disciplined.
The moment the queen gave the order, the huge army moved quickly like a griffin that had just awakened.
But as soon as Catherine passed the pass, she saw a majestic garrison fortress in front of her.
At the top of the fortress, a large group of equally elite archers had already drawn their bows, ready to fire.
Catherine raised the sword in her hand high and pointed it at the top of the fortress tower.
She crushed a loudspeaker with her right hand, and the sound penetrated the space, loud and resounding.
"Ou Ling! What do you mean?"
Ou Ling pinched his mustache, sighed, and asked:
"Your Majesty, I should be the one asking this question.
You brought so many troops and pressed into our Roland Territory. What do you mean by that? "
Catherine's eyes fixed:
"It is known throughout Erathia that I have come to slay my father's spirit.
The proclamation of war and the Order of Heaven have been sent to all parts of the world. Are you playing dumb with me?"
"Of course not."
Ou Ling said with a cold face:
“Your Majesty, you can go anywhere you want to defeat the ghost of King Griffin.
You can go around the Endless Sea, go through the icy north, or even march from Avili.
But it can’t be led from us, Roland.
What if you, with so many troops, take the opportunity to attack our Roland Territory from both sides together with King Griffin?
After all, you said it, King Griffin is your father."
Catherine's eyes were burning with anger as she asked word by word:
"Do you know what you are talking about, Oring?"
Ou Ling said coldly:
“Of course I know, I made it very clear.
If Your Majesty did not hear clearly, I can repeat it to you again.
His Majesty Roland suspected that King Griffin's transformation into an undead and attack on Erathia was a conspiracy by Your Majesty the Queen.
His Majesty Roland has ordered that your troops will not be allowed to enter Roland's territory.
If Your Majesty the Queen insists on going there, you can either attack our stronghold and kill all of us, the people of Erathia.
Or you go alone.”
At this moment, a master-level adjutant next to Ou Ling chuckled and also used a loudspeaker to shout:
"Your Majesty, we cannot let you pass through here, but if you can go to the Red Chief's tent to get permission to pass, we can make an exception."
Another adjutant immediately took over the conversation:
"So, where is the Red Chief's tent?"
"In His Majesty Roland's bedroom."
“Hahahahahaha!”
For a moment, everyone on the city wall was laughing.
Catherine's eyes suddenly turned cold. Behind her, her troops were also extremely angry, as if their eyes could spit fire.
The lord is humiliated, and the ministers fight to the death.
If it weren't for their good military qualities, they would have already launched the charge.
At this moment, Ou Ling suddenly took action on the city wall.
With lightning speed, he kicked the two adjutants on his left and right, knocking them to the ground.
In one hand he held a sword against the neck of an adjutant, and in the other hand he held a loaded crossbow, pointing it at another adjutant.
There was a sudden silence on the city wall, and the laughter stopped abruptly.
Catherine frowned, totally confused as to what Ou Ling was doing.
Ou Ling stared at his two adjutants coldly and rebuked them in a deep voice:
“Her Majesty is of noble royal blood and a legendary hero with outstanding military achievements.
The bastards of hell who died at the hands of the Queen are more than the rice you have ever eaten.
How can she be insulted by two losers like you? "
"General, we..."
Swish! Swish!
The battle field belonging to the legendary hero unfolds. Ou Ling raises the sword with one hand and slashes down, while pressing the trigger with the other hand. Two streams of blood spurt out immediately!
Two precious master heroes died on the spot!
For a moment, the entire city wall was silent.
Ou Ling looked around coldly and said in a flat tone:
“I just laughed, so I slapped myself a hundred times.
Now, immediately, immediately."
Bang bang bang!
Suddenly, there was a burst of applause from the city wall, the sound was like heavy rain.
Amidst the sound of applause, Ou Ling stuck his sword into the ground but did not put down his crossbow.
He said coldly:
"Your Majesty, please go back.
Without the order of His Majesty Roland, I will not let you pass."
Catherine was not without the courage to attack the fortress by force. Even if the one guarding the fortress was Ou Ling, who was an expert in archery, she was confident that she could take the fortress.
However, the archers under Ou Ling have an extremely exaggerated shooting speed, and if they fight hard, the losses will be huge.
But this is Catherine’s first battle since entering Roland’s territory. If she doesn’t fight this battle, it will be very damaging to morale.
Moreover, it is simply unrealistic to take a detour from other places, and this stop will have to be fought sooner or later.
Just as Catherine was struggling, a griffin knight suddenly landed from the sky.
Catherine's strict defense force, including thirteen Round Table Queen's Guards, turned a blind eye to the Griffin Knight.
Li Xiaobai landed in front of Catherine and said quickly:
"Your Majesty, the boss said, please be patient."
Catherine closed her eyes and waited for a moment before slowly opening them.
She held out her hand and swung it back.
A member of the Round Table Queen's Guard beside Catherine immediately shouted:
"The Queen has ordered us to maintain our formation and retreat slowly."
…
…
Seeing Catherine gradually disappearing on the horizon, Ou Ling's eyes became colder and colder.
He glanced at the two corpses at his feet, snorted coldly, and returned to the command room on the city wall.
Ou Ling sat in his seat, his face as gloomy as water, and said nothing.
An hour passed, then two hours passed.
Ou Ling finally couldn't hold back his anger and slammed the table with a bang.
He knew very well that the words of the two adjutants were not arranged by him.
If they dared to interrupt without their permission, they could only have received orders from someone of higher status than themselves.
"Your Majesty Roland? Is that you?
Do you want to stimulate Queen Catherine to attack the stronghold?
You want to take my life and the lives of my entire army and leave Queen Catherine with an indelible infamy?
I hope not, otherwise, you are really disappointing to me."
Just then, a guard rushed into the room.
"General, there was a fire just now."
"Fire?!"
Ou Ling was shocked, and the first thing he thought of was that Catherine wanted to attack forcefully.
"Where's the fire?"
"Uh." The guard paused and said, "Western Army Camp. General, don't worry too much. The fire has been put out. The damage is not that great. It's just that..."
"What is it?"
"The bodies of Lieutenant General Chalmers and Lieutenant General Ramkan were burned and reduced to ashes."
…
…
Retreat, reorganize the army, and set up camp.
It took Catherine's troops less than half an hour from the time the order was given to the time they set up camp.
In the Queen's tent, Catherine raised her eyebrows, stared at Li Xiaobai, and asked in a deep voice: "I have calmed down for a while, and then what? What is Qi Ge's idea?"
Li Xiaobai held his head high and answered loudly, "I don't know. The boss hasn't told me yet."
Catherine pretended to be angry:
"You don't know? If you don't know, why do you tell me to be patient?
Do you realize how much this retreat would cost our morale?"
Li Xiaobai touched his head and felt a little embarrassed:
"Your Majesty, I don't know. I don't know much about marching and fighting."
"I don't know this, and I don't know that. So what do you know?"
Li Xiaobai proudly replied: "I know that listening to my boss will never be wrong."
Catherine shook her head and smiled helplessly.
She also couldn't imagine that Qi Ge, such a smart man, would actually send this innocent and somewhat stupid guy as a messenger.
"What I mean is, if you don't know, just go and ask, and urge Qige a little more."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
When Li Xiaobai saw the task was triggered, he was immediately happy.
He happily accepted the task and ran out of the tent to contact Qi Ge.
After a while, Li Xiaobai returned to the tent and said to Catherine:
"The boss said that he has his own arrangements, so please don't worry, Your Majesty."
Catherine took two deep breaths and hummed in dissatisfaction:
"Qi Ge, this guy, doesn't say anything and always makes me guess.
If it weren't for the fact that his plan of [Heavenly Changes and Earthly Changes] was indeed brilliant enough, I would have gone to him to ask for an explanation."
Li Xiaobai smiled innocently:
"Your Majesty, maybe the boss hasn't made up his mind yet."
Catherine looked at Li Xiaobai with pity and said with a smile:
"Bai, you are so naive, you must be often deceived by Qige, right?
How could it be possible that a person like him who thinks seven, eight, nine steps ahead before taking one step hasn't thought it through?
Maybe now, his evil plan is already on the way."
As soon as Catherine finished speaking, a member of the Round Table Queen's Guard opened the tent and walked in.
She said respectfully to Catherine:
“Your Majesty, a group of women have arrived outside the military camp.
They called themselves the Sisters of Silence, and came to help under the orders of Saint Adela.
Catherine smiled at Li Xiaobai: "Look, here he comes."
…
…
After a while, sixteen women, led by the Round Table Queen's Guard, walked into Catherine's tent.
Some of them were wearing linen clothes, and were tall and strong; some had yellow complexions and were skinny; some were blindfolded and needed support from others.
No matter how you look at them, they look like peasant women or refugees, and have nothing to do with the word "Sisters of Silence".
The strong woman in the lead stepped forward and said to Catherine:
“Your Majesty, I am Arale, a representative of the Sisters of Silence.
Before the meeting, please allow me to introduce myself.
We, the Sisters of Silence, are an organization spread across Erathia, founded in secret by Her Majesty Adela.
We are primarily responsible for delivering babies, prophesying, and organizing funerals, often serving as midwives, prophets and seers, undertakers, and funeral directors.
On the periphery of our organization, members are very loosely distributed, and are mainly believers in angels.
But the core members of our organization all believe in Mother Goddess Yasha."
Catherine smiled and asked:
"Do you have a token?"
Li Xiaobai raised his hand and said:
"Ah, the boss said that he arranged it, so there's no need to worry about any fraud."
Catherine glanced at Li Xiaobai and said to Arale:
"You are all welcome. Please continue."
Arale nodded and continued:
“The lord of Roland Territory is just like Roland, he is only interested in collecting taxes and plundering money.
Their tentacles and control barely extend to the villages surrounding Roland's Acropolis.
We received orders early on and used abandoned mines to dig a tunnel that would allow us to directly bypass the heavily defended Karl Territory and reach the Flower and Leaf Territory.
Your Majesty, you and your troops can use the tunnel we left behind to reach the Flower Leaf Territory.
After you arrive at Huaye Territory, we will also arrange personnel to escort you using the rural roads throughout Roland Territory.
In this way, Your Majesty and your troops will be able to avoid the obstruction and reconnaissance of Roland Territory and intercept the undead of King Griffin silently."
Catherine noticed something was wrong as she listened, and she pretended to ask casually:
“We received an order long ago to dig a tunnel using an abandoned mine?
Karben is a vast territory with many mountains. Are tunnels so easy to mine?
How early is early? "
"About two months ago?"
"Two months ago?"
Catherine frowned:
"Two months ago, I was still fighting the holy war in Oufu, and my father's remains had not yet been stolen, but you received an order to use the abandoned mines in Huaye Territory to break through the underground of Karl's Territory?
What? Can the Seven Pigeons predict the future?
Or was it him who planned the theft of my father's remains?"
Arale lowered her head:
“We received an order from Her Majesty the Saint.
As for the reason for the order, we have no idea.”
Catherine remained silent, just stared at Li Xiaobai without saying a word, putting great pressure on Li Xiaobai.
Li Xiaobai trembled twice and said:
"I'll ask the boss right away!"
After a while, Catherine took out a conch.
She put the conch to her ears and heard the seven doves inside the conch saying:
“Your Majesty, don’t worry.
The tunnel was originally intended to serve the greater Qingtian plan.
What happened to you this time was just a coincidence."
Catherine pretended to be angry:
"Qi Ge, what exactly is your plan?
If you still consider me an ally, tell me your full plan immediately.
Do you think it's fun to manipulate me like a puppet step by step like this?"
"Your Majesty, you have wronged me.
The current situation in Erathia is extremely complicated.
Until now, I still haven't figured out the main purpose of Ronis and Roland. I can only take it one step at a time and deal with it as it happens. How can I have a comprehensive plan?"
Qi Ge was telling the truth, but Catherine didn't believe it at all:
"Heh. You told me the same thing when I was in Oufu, and then you took away the entire Oufu continent.
If it weren't for the last letter you sent me that allowed me to evacuate in time, I would be drifting towards the Endless Sea with the Oufu Continent."
Seven Pigeons: ...
"Your Majesty, you really misunderstood me. I swear to the goddess of fate that I really don't have any overall plan now.
Besides, does my plan really make sense?
Her Majesty.
You are the King of Erathia. His Majesty Griffin is your father.
All choices are ultimately in your hands.
All I can do is to use the power in my hands to give you a little help when the time is right."
"Humph, if you don't want to talk about it, forget it. If my own judgment disrupts your plan, don't blame me."
Catherine hung up the conch and rubbed her brows.
She looked at the members of the Sisters of Silence and was about to speak when the conch began to vibrate again.
Catherine took the conch and asked:
"What's up?"
The cautious voice of Qi Ge came from the conch:
"Um, Your Majesty, I would like to ask, do you know the whereabouts of General Morgan Kendall?"
Catherine couldn't help but feel a little strange when she suddenly heard the name.
Morgan Kendall is the oldest legendary hero in Erathia.
He is Gru's adoptive father and temporary successor after the death of his own father, Geffen Hart.
He created the dual king system of Erathia, giving himself enough resources to compete with the Holy Heaven Church + Roland.
But because of his disappointment with the church, he eventually betrayed Erathia and became a wandering neutral hero.
Because of his departure, the already unstable political situation in Erathia became even more turbulent, which directly led to countless internal struggles in Erathia.
"Qi Ge, why did you suddenly mention him?
I have seen General Kendall for a long time.
Since he left Erathia, he has disappeared without a trace, and there is no news of him."
"Oh, that's okay."
Seven Pigeons said:
“I just think that General Kendall, who was once King Griffin’s most trusted subordinate, might return to Erathia to meet King Griffin now that King Griffin has become a ghost.
Decades have passed, and it is unknown how powerful General Kendall is now."
Catherine sighed melancholy, and said:
“He won’t go.
The one he had been loyal to was King Griffin, a man of great talent, who put an end to civil strife and loved his people like his own children.
Instead of the undead being who is now wielding the knife against his former people.
Even Roland and I cannot gain his approval, let alone our father who has become an undead and lost his humanity."
"Oh, it seems I was worrying too much."
Qi Ge paused and asked:
"Your Majesty, do you have anything else to say?"
“No more.”
"In that case, I'll hang up first."
Putting down the conch, Catherine rubbed her brows.
She felt that when talking to Qi Ge, she had to guess every word the other person said, which was really tiring.
“Is Qi Ge the Sphinx? He likes to give riddles to others.
A guy who is neither good nor bad."
Catherine criticized Qi Ge in her heart and said to the people of the Silent Sisters:
“Okay, I understand.
Thank you for your help. You can go down and have a rest first.
I need to think about how to bring a large force deep into Roland's territory without letting Roland and Ronis know.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
…
…
"Dregs, dregs, dregs..."
late at night.
The chirping of insects is particularly loud in the silent night.
The powerful Yasha Chosen Gods used the army's Yasha Fire Lamps to take turns clearing the chaotic fog that attempted to penetrate the camp from the outskirts of the military camp.
Most of the Yasa God Chosen who were not strong enough wandered around the military camp, looking for tasks to do everywhere; a small number of them simply lay down, crossed their legs and happily browsed the forum .
Queen Catherine's tent was still brightly lit.
She is studying how to sneak the troops into the dark without anyone noticing.
With the tunnel leading directly to the Flower and Leaf Territory, Catherine felt that her plan could be bolder.
Originally, she had to risk leaving her back to Roland and face King Griffin head-on.
Now, she can bypass the occupied area and cut in from King Griffin's rear, cutting off King Griffin's retreat while avoiding the conspiracy of Ronis and Roland.
In this case, if Ronis and Roland want to play tricks, they must first break through King Griffin's encirclement.
Catherine felt that even if she turned her back to Diya, it would be safer than turning her back to Lord Roland.
“Well!! Although Qi Ge’s constant hiding makes me really annoyed, I have to admit that he does a good job.
Without this tunnel, I would have to take many more risks.”
Catherine stretched, revealing her beautiful curves.
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew into the tent and blew out all the dozens of bright magic lights.
Catherine was not panicked. She asked tentatively in a low voice:
"Is that you?"
From the darkness came the voice that Catherine had longed for.
"It's me."
"Why did you come to see me at this time?"
Catherine's voice contained both joy and worry.
"Did something happen?"
"Why."
Gru sighed and said reluctantly:
"I'm going to be away for a while."
Catherine's heart tightened:
"Is there really something wrong?"
"It's not that there was an accident. It's just that my adoptive father is looking for me."
"General Kendall!!!"
In the darkness, Catherine's pupils dilated and her voice rose a full octave.
Gru was somewhat surprised by Catherine's reaction:
"Yeah. What's wrong?"
Catherine took a deep breath and calmed down. She asked softly:
"Were you away during the day?"
“Most of the time, yes.”
“What about the small portion?”
"Yeah. I went to take care of a little thing."
"A small matter?"
"Nothing, just burning some garbage?"
Catherine glanced into the darkness in confusion, but unfortunately saw nothing.
She did not delve into it, but just said softly:
"I see."
The darkness suddenly became quiet.
"Scum. Scum. Scum."
The chirping of insects echoed in the darkness for a long time.
Catherine opened her lips and said, "You haven't left yet?"
"Yeah. I want to see more of you."
"Then turn on the light and see."
Then, Gru was silent again.
Catherine cursed him in her heart as a coward.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
"Be careful when I'm not around. Roland is not a good person."
"Um."
"I'll be back as soon as possible."
"Um.
You never told me before that you were going to leave or come back to me.
Why are you willing to come now?"
Catherine smiled and looked into the darkness. Although she couldn't see anything, she felt at this moment that the darkness before her was her only warmth.
The darkness was silent for a while, and then a voice came out:
"I'm a little bolder."
"What courage?"
"The guts to break a promise. A promise I made to you."
Whoosh!
The magic lamp lit up again.
Catherine's eyes suddenly brightened.
But she was still the only one in the tent.
It was as if the sound just now was an illusion.
"Even though he's a little older, he's still a coward."
Catherine pouted at the air.
