Kieran's voice wasn't loud but when it sounded in the quiet battlefield, it sounded like thunder and spread throughout the battlefield.
Following that, a rampant and chaotic sulphuric aura spread throughout the battlefield.
The people were terrified. It was as if the scorched land Kieran pointed at had opened up a crack in the ground and a fiery devil was crawling out from it.
Then, it roared at the sky!
"It's him! It's him! "
"He... He is back!"
Scattered shouts could be heard from the main camp of the Prairie soldiers.
However, it was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, the ripples that spread out would only get bigger and wider.
Every tribe leader had to step out and shout at the soldiers who lost their morale.
Moreover, he quickly sent one request after another to a certain place in the deepest part of the camp.
All they wanted was to eliminate the dissidents and get a bigger share of the wealth.
They didn't want to throw themselves into the mess.
A few seconds later …
The main camp of the Prairies started to retreat.
They retreated almost a thousand meters!
"Retreat! Retreat! "
"The Prairies soldiers are retreating!"
Joyous cheers could be heard from the reconstructed Lightning Fortress. The soldiers were all smiling from ear to ear.
However, the joyful mood didn't affect Kieran at all.
He knew the Prairies soldiers retreating wasn't a sign of submission.
It was only to better avoid the Beast of Desire's attack and prepare for the next attack.
The first wave of attack was just a test.
It was a test of the Warren defenders and also a test of Kieran, the variable.
The next time the Prairies launched their attack, it would be the real battle.
Kieran was even sure that when he was within the firing range of [Thousand Evil Eye Strike] and summoned the Creature of Desire, he would be sniped. With his SS + Intuition, he clearly felt that when he released the devil's aura, there were a couple of obscure, violent or cold presences that appeared.
Although it was just a flash, the powerful presences under the devil's aura were enough to catch Kieran's attention.
"The powerful ones among the Prairies soldiers eh?"
Kieran muttered to himself.
Just like how quantitative change could lead to qualitative change, Kieran would never deny that when the power of a country was gathered, there would be some extraordinary people.
Once the base number reached a certain level, the number of experts that could make people raise their eyebrows was far more than you could imagine.
Of course, according to the rules of the underground game, the more dungeon entries there were, the more powerhouses there would be.
Sometimes, he would even deny the theory of the base number.
It was only because of the arrangement of the game's dungeon.
As for the current situation?
It was a combination of both.
In other words, they were even more difficult to deal with.
Kieran walked towards Mary and James VIII's tent again.
This time, when he passed by, the soldiers were still terrified, but when they looked at Kieran, their eyes were filled with reverence, and they all saluted.
Anyone who could force back an army of ten thousand should be treated with such respect.
Outside the tent, Mary stood there.
His blue eyes were filled with undisguised joy.
Unlike the soldiers around them who were happy for their own victory and survival, they were not the same.
This joy was entirely due to Kieran's safe return.
"He fell asleep just now, let's go to my tent!"
She still addressed her father with a pronoun.
Then, Mary grabbed Kieran's hand and walked towards the tent beside.
There was no shyness or hesitation.
Only familiarity and naturalness.
…
Mary's tent was a little smaller than the king's.
In fact, even the king's tent wasn't considered big, after putting a soft mattress, it was only big enough for a table.
Mary's tent, however, was a soft mattress.
Mary didn't show any dissatisfaction after being rejected, she looked at Kieran in front of her and said slowly, "After this test, the Prairies invaders will stop for a few days … Let's hope our reinforcements can seize the moment!"
Although Mary was still young, she could tell why the Prairies invaders appeared.
Because of Mary's mother's teachings, the little girl was able to see more.
However, compared to the 'reinforcements', the little girl was nothing.
Reinforcements!
Warren wasn't just the capital Riverdale and a Thunder Fortress.
To the south of Riverdale, there was an even bigger territory.
The northern side had territories that were no less than the southern side.
The reinforcements would come from both the north and south, regardless of the size of the territory.
Buying more time for the reinforcements raised a sense of hope in the little girl's heart.
However, the little girl wasn't blindly optimistic.
"All the lords in the north and south have requested for reinforcements from Will Prefecture and Zilin Prefecture three days ago. If everything was normal, there should be a response within a day or two, but …"
"The old duke of Will Prefecture has always supported my aunt, it's really hard for him to send reinforcements!
Zilin Prefecture is located in the north, even if they come, they will have to face the Prairies army blocking the way, it's hard for them to provide us with direct help! "
The little girl frowned, her words sounded helpless.
"But it's better than nothing right?
Besides … I think you should write a letter to the old duke himself. Tell him that if he doesn't send reinforcements, you will abandon Thunder Fortress and allow the Prairies invaders to invade south, wreaking havoc on his noble lands! "
Kieran said slowly.
The little girl was stunned.
No matter how mature she was, her heart was still kind. She never thought of using such a method to get reinforcements.
But Kieran was different.
All he had to worry about was his main mission: ensuring that Warren's capital, Riverdale, wouldn't fall to the invaders.
As for the others?
Kieran didn't care.
"B-But …"
The little girl wanted to refute out of instinct.
"It's just a way to force him!
As long as the old duke isn't an idiot, he will know what to do! Does he really think the south can still be peaceful after losing Thunder Fortress and Riverdale? Or will the Prairies invaders show mercy to the south? "
Kieran comforted the little girl.
What he said was the truth, so the little girl nodded.
"Should we send Bosco?"
The little girl discussed with Kieran.
"Mm!"
Kieran didn't object since they had the same idea.
Then, all of a sudden, without any signs, Kieran carried Mary up.
The little girl was stunned for a moment before her face flushed red.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something.
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sound of cloth being torn.
A long sword pierced through the tent and slashed the soft mattress in half.
Then, the powerful long sword that should have sunk into the ground suddenly jumped up.
Like a snake, it let out a snake hiss and went straight for Mary, who was in Kieran's arms.
PS: Second update ~
Speaking of which, he came across a restaurant that offered free rice and vegetables!
