I thank you, but for the sake of improving your friendliness, I won’t care about it. You can log off, Russell communicated silently in his heart.
More than an hour later, they returned to the temporary camp. At this moment, Earl Harlan had just disbanded the troops and ordered everyone to rest.
Drasel signaled Safiya to take the baby dragon to rest first, while he slowly stepped forward and said:
"Earl Harlan, you are right. That girl is indeed very strong. What are you going to do next?"
"Our marshal will come with all the lords he can summon to besiege Duckburg. This time our King Harlaus X will also come."
"What are the chances of winning in a siege?"
"One hundred percent, we will have a super large force of more than 2,000 people. Even if there is a Valkyrie on the opposite side, there is no chance of winning."
After hearing this, the stone hanging in Russell's heart finally fell.
From this point of view, the plan to use Duckburg and Hiko Village as the first line of defense in front of Uxhall can be realized.
Earl Harlan continued: "But after the defeat, who owns Duckburg and Hiko Village will have to be decided by a vote within the kingdom."
Russell didn't care who got the "fat", since he didn't want it at all, but he still had to do some superficial work.
"When the time comes, I will definitely support you fully. After all, it is you who have won the first place in the vanguard. I think everyone will take this factor into consideration when voting."
"I hope so, everyone will fight for this place, but I still thank you for saying that, Russell."
"Ah!" "Ah!" "Ugh!"
While the two were chatting, suddenly there was a scream outside the camp! A guard covered in blood hurriedly ran over to report:
"Report, noble Earl Harlan, Valkyrie... Valkyrie came here alone to kill!"
"What!? Gather and retreat, gather and retreat quickly!!!" Even a powerful man like Earl Harlan was frightened when he heard this nickname.
"Hurry up and retreat! Otherwise our entire army will be annihilated here!"
At this moment, Earl Harlan could not care less about his distinguished status and title, and looked as worried and embarrassed as a headless fly.
He seemed to have ignored Drasser's existence. He didn't care whether he would lose his dignity in front of his Kingdom teammates, put on his armor, mount his war horse, and run away!
The system saw that Russell was still in a daze and became anxious.
[You are really trying to escape, but you don’t know that there is a huge difference in strength between you and her? 】
Don't I expect you to help me cheat?
【Get your sister and run away from me!】
Okay, okay, Drasel finished restoring the system in his mind and hurriedly ran to find Safiya and the young dragon Renn.
"Safiya, take Ren and run! The Valkyrie is coming to kill you! Xiaonan, command the troops and protect them!"
Xiaonan still doesn't know the origin of this Valkyrie, and is still a little confused about the situation.
"Pah!" Russell slapped Xiaonan hard on the face with a big mouth.
"Why are you dazed? Hurry up! If Safiya is injured, you are the only one I have to ask!"
Now Xiaonan realized that the situation was really urgent. He immediately began to organize the remaining tavern mercenary cavalry to protect Safiya and the young dragon from evacuating.
In the panic, Safiya was still calm and composed. She packed her things in an orderly manner and was about to leave on horseback, but she saw Dracelle motionless in place.
"Baron, let's run away together! Do you want to stop her alone?"
"We run away together, she will definitely catch up. I can't let you die here. You and Ren must return to Uxhall alive for me."
"But..." Safiya was about to continue persuading, when Drasel instantly slapped the horse's butt under Safiya's crotch.
The war horse was in pain and immediately started running wildly.
"Baron! Baron...Dressel..." Safiya's voice became farther and farther away, getting smaller and smaller...
At this moment, Russell looked around and saw that most of Earl Harlan's troops had already withdrawn.
Earl Harlan himself even ran away without a trace, leaving only a few who had no time to escape and died tragically at the hands of the Valkyrie.
"Tmd, he also said that he is loyal and brave, worthy of close friendship, and will definitely be a good ally. If something really happens, he can run faster than a rabbit!"
Russell couldn't help but start to curse him, but he was also extremely nervous at the moment. After all, this woman was too strong, ridiculously strong.
He gradually held his breath, only to hear his heart pounding violently, wiping his forehead, and sweating like rain.
Before he could recover, a black figure appeared behind him in an instant, and a sharp dagger was pressed against his neck from behind.
Under such circumstances, being taken away is as easy as picking something out of a bag.
"Don't move." A cold and ruthless female voice echoed in Russell's ears.
"good……"
"I am a very reasonable person. Now I want to ask you three questions. If you answer them truthfully, I can save you from death."
"Goddess, I will definitely answer truthfully, but can you please take the knife away first..."
Valkyrie Tianyan was quite generous. She slowly put down the hand holding the dagger, and then continued:
"Relax, Baron. Even if I let you run away for another kilometer, if I want to hunt you down, it will only take a matter of minutes."
[System prompt: She is telling the truth, you'd better...]
Shut up, labor and management, you, this helpless food system, do you want to do something like this?
As the dagger slowly moved away from his neck, Drasel felt calmer and more confident.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead again, and then said: "So, Goddess, what do you want to ask?"
"It's a Valkyrie, not a goddess. Don't scream. The first question is, is Yantulu captured by you? Give him to me."
"It is indeed my prisoner. No problem, I can give it to you."
"Second question, will your large army be here soon? I want to have a negotiation with your king before the war begins."
"Yes, we are indeed coming here. There are about 2,000 people. I will talk to the king about the negotiations, but I don't know whether he will agree or not."
"I will save the third question for next time. I just said that I am very reasonable. Now you ask me three questions."
This wave of operations is really a trap for Russell...
"Your noble Valkyrie Tianyan, can I not ask?"
"No, this counts as the first one. I have two more questions to ask. Ask me for something of good quality, or else I will kill you~"
When saying this, Valkyrie Tianyan seemed to be teasing and mocking her.
"How did you find this place? We chose to be hidden when we set up camp, and I believe there are no traitors among us."
