Dean slightly frowned as he looked at him: "Don't let others hear this in front of me. Otherwise they will think that I told you this. It won't be good for us if it spreads out."
Sergei replied: "What are you afraid of? They are the enemies that are blocking our way. We are also enemies to them. Are you afraid that they will know about this?"
Dean said: "Everyone is an enemy, but there is a priority. If you are too ostentatious then there will always be people who don't like you. They will push your ranking forward."
Sergei was startled and didn't speak anymore.
Gwyneth looked at Dean: "Master, the barbarians have occupied the Red Maple Mountains. They have burned and looted all the residents in the nearby towns. It seems that they aren't in a hurry to attack the residential areas. There will be more innocent sacrifices if this continues. Should we do something?"
Dean looked at her: "What do you mean?"
"Although I don't know much about you but I can see that young master has a lot of energy. If you contribute then you may be able to improve the situation of the battlefield or push the military to launch the attack earlier." Gwyneth stared at Dean as she slowly said.
When Sergei heard this, he laughed strangely: "I can't tell that you still have such a compassionate heart after being tortured in the Thorn Flower Prison. No wonder you were a Disciplinary Enforcer before you entered the prison. You really have a noble character and a kind heart."
Gwyneth narrowed her eyes as she glanced at him.
Sergei's eyelids twitched. He smiled and shrugged his shoulders. He didn't talk much.
Dean quietly looked at the girl who was the same age as him: "You overestimate me. Although I have some weight but it's difficult to influence the entire border war with my own strength. Moreover, what are the benefits for me?"
Gwyneth stared at him: "There are many benefits. If you win the war you will harvest honor and the love of the people. I believe that the military will be able to eradicate the barbarians once the war is launched. Even if the military can't do it they will ask for help from the inner wall. Once the inner wall intervenes then the barbarians will be destroyed."
"Honor and love …" Dean smiled: "Do you know that a word can change a person's life? A word can make a person die. The so-called honor and love don't need to take such a big risk to get them."
Gwyneth said: "The biggest benefit is that you will have peace of mind. Do you want to watch innocent civilians die?"
Dean looked into her deep eyes. There was a trace of surprise in his heart. He didn't expect that the girl who had crawled out of hell would have such a kind heart. He could feel that the latter wanted him to help from the bottom of her heart, but at the same time, he could feel a strong killing intent and hatred from the girl. Could it be that after suffering all kinds of torture, her hatred didn't spread, and she was still focused on her enemies?
He was silent for a moment but calmly said: "I can."
Gwyneth was startled as she heard his answer. Her face turned pale. She gently bit her lips as she bowed her head and clenched her fists.
Sergei, Nicholas and Jin heard Dudian's words. They couldn't help but look at the youth. Although they would ignore it if they were in Dudian's position, but they still felt a chill when they heard the calm and ruthless words from the youth's mouth.
Dean's eyes flashed as he looked at the girl's slightly trembling fist: "But it's not that difficult to control the war."
"Huh?" Sergei, Nicholas and Jin were surprised as they looked at Dudian. This was a race war that would decide the life and death of civilians in three regions. Even the six consortiums were just small characters in this war. How could Dudian have a way to deal with it?
Gwyneth's body trembled as she looked at Dean. Her eyes were filled with pain and expectation.
Dean slowly said: "I can't control the military's attack but I have some ways to influence the barbarians' attack. However, according to the current situation, the barbarians aren't stupid. They know that attacking the residential area is just a target for arrows. So they occupy the Red Maple Mountains and wait for the reinforcements to come. Then they will take the opportunity to loot the small towns in the suburbs. This is inevitable."
Gwyneth's eyes were full of disappointment: "So no matter who wins or loses, those people will die?"
Dean shrugged: "There is no such thing as' must die 'in my dictionary. The barbarians can loot the small towns. We just need to move the residents of the small towns to the residential area before the barbarians. Then we will be able to shelter them. But the process is quite troublesome and will take up a lot of my time."
"But your time can save the lives of countless people!" Gwyneth couldn't help but be excited.
Dean smiled: "You are wrong. It isn't my time but anyone's time can save the lives of countless people. It's just that they are willing or not. Obviously no one is willing to do such a troublesome thing. Isn't it comfortable to have afternoon tea at home?"
Gwyneth stared at him. Her face was ugly as she bit her teeth.
Dean saw her expression and smiled: "You don't have to hate me. Since you want to save them, even if I stop you, you will secretly follow them. Even if I tie you up at home, you may not be loyal to me in the future. So, this time I will save them as you wish."
Gwyneth's eyes widened: "Are you really willing?"
Dean said: "I can give them a chance to be redeemed. But whether they can survive or not depends on you. I will give you my letter and send a letter to the New World Consortium. They will communicate with the city defense and open a green channel to let the people from the small towns in. As for you and Sergei, you are responsible for going to the small towns and spread the news. Bring the noble emblem of the Ryan family and gather them."
There was a trace of surprise in Gwyneth's eyes. She wanted to say something but soon restrained herself. She took a deep breath and said: "Thank you!"
Dean smiled and looked at Nicholas: "Pen and letter."
Nicholas immediately called for a maid and had her pen, ink, and letter prepared.
Dean quickly wrote two letters and gave them to Gwyneth: "Send them to the Ryan family. Patriarch Fulin will know what to do."
"Thank you!" Gwyneth thanked him again and left.
Sergei sighed helplessly, "I haven't had enough of being a villain. This time, I have to join the rescue operation. How unlucky!" Although he said that, he still lifted his body and followed Sergei.
Nicholas whispered to Dean after the two left: "Master, they are going to evacuate the people from the small towns. It is a race against time. If you borrow the emblem of a big aristocrat you have a good relationship with you then it will be more prestigious. The Ryan family used to be a top aristocrat a few decades ago but it has been declining for decades. After two generations of decline, their reputation has long been thin. I'm afraid that the people in the small towns won't know about them. There will inevitably be resistance and riots. I'm afraid that it will affect the efficiency of the rescue …"
Dean indifferently smiled: "It's their business how much they can save. But it's our business who should be thanked after they are rescued. Do you want me to contribute and come up with ideas but in the end it will be someone else who will be thanked?"
Nicotine was startled for a moment, his expression changing slightly as he hurriedly lowered his head, "Young Master is right."
Dean looked at him. Nicholas felt Dean's gaze but didn't dare to look up. He felt the hairs on his body stand up. It was like a prey being stared at by a crocodile. His muscles were slightly stiff as he maintained a humble posture. After a moment he heard Dean's dull voice: "This time we are going to hunt monsters outside the giant wall. You should keep up." Nicholas's heart shrank as he looked up at Dean.
There seemed to be a kind of irresistible majesty in Dean's eyes. His face slightly changed. He almost forgot the words that were on the tip of his tongue. Fortunately, he had been a butler for many years. He hurriedly said: "Master, I can't stand going outside the giant wall. Although I took the risk to take 'God's blessing' and my physique is barely comparable to an intermediate hunter. But I don't know anything about fighting. Moreover, I'm old and my endurance won't be able to keep up. If I go outside the giant wall I will only drag you down. If I accidentally disturb the monsters and bring trouble to you, it will bring you suffering. I know that I made a mistake last time but I have changed. Now I'm loyal to you wholeheartedly. I hope you can give me another chance …"
Dean slowly said: "My words are like a burning fire. Only the ashes are allowed to stay."
Nicholas's face turned ugly as he looked at Dean's deep eyes. He didn't dare to beg again. He kept sighing. His mind was searching for information about the outside of the giant wall. He was thinking about what to do in case of various situations.
After a moment, Jin moved all the materials onto the Mammoth carriage.
Dean checked and confirmed that there were no mistakes. He went back to the hall and put on his hunter's armor. This was the latest model developed by the Temple. They added the new material 'plastic'. The gloves and joints were connected by a tough soft glue. It was more flexible and lighter. There was a thin layer of special refined glue on the chest and back that was vulnerable to attack. However, although this hunter's armor was more advanced than the previous one, but it would still be difficult to resist monsters that were around level 20. The industrial level of the armor was far from the level that the monsters outside the giant wall had been evolving for more than three hundred years.
Nicholas also put on the new hunter's armor that Dean had prepared for him. Dean told Jin to look after the house. He called Nicholas to sit with him in the carriage.
The Mammoth carriage followed the desolate road that was specially used for beast carriages and arrived outside the living area. After entering the suburbs, it headed straight for a stronghold.
The area of the suburbs was very large. It was very far from the Red Maple Mountains so there was no need to worry about the barbarians from the Red Maple Mountains. After a few hours, the Mammoth carriage arrived at the fortress.
Nicholas jumped out of the carriage and took out a medal from the soldier who intercepted him. It was the silver eagle hunter medal. It represented the identity of an intermediate hunter.
The soldier looked at it, then looked at the nicotine, and said, "What's inside? Open it for me to check. "
Nicotine's face was cold as he said, "These are all my hunting tools, what is there to check?"
"Do you think it is? Hmph, is there something fishy going on here? "The soldier said with an unfriendly expression.
Nicholas sneered and took out another medal: "I'm a hunter of the New World Consortium. I was specifically ordered by architect Dean to go outside the giant wall to hunt. Do you really want to stop me?"
The soldier was shocked when he saw the medal in his hand: "This, this is Mr Dean's medal?" Although he was just a fortress guard but at least he could recognize the symbols of the superior. This medal belonged to a senior architect without a doubt. There was the word 'Dean' on the back. He didn't need to think about it to know that it belonged to the genius architect who had been in the limelight recently.
Nicholas coldly said: "How can this be fake?"
The soldier quickly retracted his hand and smiled: "I didn't expect you to be architect Dean's man. Do you need me to help you unload these things?"
"No, these things are too heavy. I will directly use the carriage to drag them." Nicholas indifferently said.
The soldier said: "This carriage is easy to be attacked by mutant beasts outside the fortress …"
"What mutant beasts can attack it with me here?" Nicholas glanced at him and jumped into the carriage: "I'm in a hurry. Hurry up."
The soldier smiled and ran back to the fortress gate. He waved to his companion to open the gate.
The Mammoth carriage left the fortress under the eyes of everyone.
Dean jumped out from the back of the carriage after more than ten miles. He waved to Nicholas.
Nicholas understood and hurriedly crawled to his side, putting on a smile and returning the two medals with both hands.
Dean put it into his armor and let the coachman of the carriage go straight. The carriage had been bought by him. Even if it was sacrificed in the radiation zone outside the fortress, it didn't matter. As for the coachman, he would be sent to the underworld outside the giant wall. He didn't want the matter to be leaked to the ears of other consortiums if he was questioned by the courier station.
The mammoth carriage was huge. It attracted the attention of mutant beasts after entering the radiation zone. Dudian sat on the head of the mammoth and let Nicotine kill it. With his physique as an intermediate hunter, it was easy for him to kill a few mutant beasts. But not all of these mutant beasts were small characters. There were many senior hunters who went out but disappeared in the radiation zone and were judged to be dead. It could be seen that there were some terrible mutant beasts, but the number was very small. It would only happen once in decades. If he encountered it, he could only blame his bad luck.
