Safiya replied: "It's okay, it can be considered my child."
"Ouch."
[Well, I can recognize this "Dragon Mother". After all, she has been protecting me and taking care of me since I was an egg. 】
Russell smiled for the first time since Owens died, and then he and Safiya explained:
"It just said that it recognizes you as its mother."
"Yeah, I knew it, hehehe." After saying that, Safiya gently kissed the baby dragon Ren's little head.
"Ouch."
[Hmm, it’s so comfortable, I really want to do it again.]
"I knew that Long was also a womanizer. It's really obscene."
"Ouch!"
【You know nothing! This is maternal love!】
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, Safiya, I need you to take good care of it during this period, and I have to arrange defense."
After saying that, Drasel was about to leave and go to the soldiers' resting place in Awang to arrange other matters. However, he was stopped by Safiya.
"Are you worried that Nayanturu of the Kugit Khanate will come to attack Uxhall?"
"It's not that I'm worried. I'm sure he will come. He knows I only have a few soldiers."
"What should we do? We can't recruit more soldiers to help now..." Safiya showed a trace of worry on her face.
"It's okay. I have arranged for businessman Manid to make money. I believe there will be results tomorrow night.
At that time, I will take this money and go to the tavern to hire a group of elite soldiers."
"What, you have to go out again, it's very dangerous outside now!"
"I have to go. I must protect Uxhall and the three villages. This is what I promised you.
Don’t worry, it’s still safe here for the time being. Awang will also stay in the town to take charge of public security and protect you and the baby dragon at the same time.”
Safiya wanted to give some more advice, but she was hugged tightly by Drasel, the man and the baby dragon.
"I will come back safely, I promise you."
"Ouch..."
[You damn thing, let go quickly, I’m going to suffocate, you’re strangling me...]
"Hey, you have to catch me from a young age, how can you say dirty words!"
Russell was about to pat the baby dragon Ren's immature butt as a lesson, but was stopped by Safiya.
"Baron, you are also a filthy idiot, but you still have the nerve to tell me, okay, you can leave quickly and pay attention to your safety."
Good guy, you are so protective...
After admonishing him, Russell turned around and left, hurried to the soldiers' resting place on the other side of Awang.
At this moment, Awang turned his grief and anger into strength, and he turned his longing for his brother Owens into the motivation to move forward.
Right now he is undergoing devil training to practice his abilities.
"Good guy, seeing how hard you work, you will soon become a level 4 Kugit senior mounted archer."
Russell murmured to himself and walked towards Awang.
The keen Awang seemed to be aware of it. When he turned around and saw that it was the Baron coming, he respectfully clasped his fists and saluted: "Good morning, distinguished master."
"Awang, I am going out of the city. You have to protect Safiya these days. This town of Uxhall is also entrusted to you."
"Please rest assured, even though it's just me and 4 Swadian recruits, we will still defend this place! I will protect Safiya with all my strength!"
Seeing that he had regained his fighting spirit, Russell was very pleased and continued:
"Well, if a large army really attacks and you can't resist it, just give up here and escape to the capital of the kingdom. I will go to the kingdom to find you then."
"Master, what you just said will never happen!"
Seeing Awang's determined look, Drasel said nothing, patted his shoulder to show his approval, and left.
Since he had been to the pub many times before, Russell was already familiar with the road, and it was much more convenient for him to ride alone on the road.
It took about a day or so for him to arrive.
Fortunately, the lottery queen Luo Nier happened to be in the tavern today, and her personal bodyguards Xiao Nan and Xiao Jia were guarding the door as the bartenders as usual.
Xiao Nan recognized this handsome figure from a distance. It was Russell who was here again.
"Baron, you came very diligently. We heard that the Kingdom of Swadia and the Kugit Khanate have started a war. You should be busy with the war at this time."
The disastrous failure in the last sparring session made Xiaonan calm down a lot, and she spoke in a very gentle manner.
"Xiao Nan, I am here just for the war."
"Royal Nier, the Queen of Sweepers, is inside. You can go in and talk to her. I see that your war horse is very tired. When you go back, you can change it to one of ours. It will be faster."
[System prompt: Lost item in the equipment column—an ordinary traveling horse.]
[System prompt: Obtain an item from the equipment column—a strong traveling horse.]
After this experience, Russell believed that Xiaonan was really not a bad person. He also had the spirit of honor of a knight, knew his shame and then acted bravely, and was also very generous and frank.
Immediately, Russell expressed his gratitude sincerely. He nodded and replied: "Okay, thank you."
Today, the tavern was quite quiet, with not many customers. The smoker Ronnier was lying on the rocking chair inside the counter, closing her eyes and relaxing.
"Tangtang, it's broad daylight, are you tired just after opening the door?"
Only Russell would tell her to twitch, and only he would dare to do so.
Hearing this title and this familiar and magnetic voice, Queen Roniel quickly woke up and climbed up from the rocking chair.
"Hey, Baron, it's been a long time since I last saw you. You came here alone because you're afraid that Safiya will see that you like me, right? Do you miss me?"
"I think... no, no, no, I'm here for something."
"What's up?"
"Borrow someone."
"Who can I borrow from?"
"Lend your people, your mercenaries."
"That requires money."
"I have no money."
"Then you are not borrowing someone, you are borrowing money. Where was the 3,000 dinars from last time?"
"It's all spent."
"Good fellow, Baron, do you use me as a warehouse to store your money? Do you think I have inexhaustible supplies?"
The two of them talked very quickly and their minds worked very fast.
"Tangtang, listen to me..."
"I don't listen."
"No, you have to listen."
"I don't want to listen."
After saying that, Queen Ronnel stood up and was about to lie back on the rocking chair, but she was pulled into her arms by Dracelle, who had quick eyes and quick hands.
His hand gently caressed Luo Nier's slender waist, his movements were very ambiguous.
"Tangtang, my Princess Tangtang, listen to me."
"Okay...then...then you say...let me go first."
Even Ronnel, the queen of gambling who has experienced thousands of love situations and teased countless men, is sometimes shy.
Russell calculated it, and after deducting recent food and troop expenses, there was a total of 500 dinars left. If merchant Manid sells grape seeds, it should be 2,000...
