Late at night, Qin Ran and Mary arrived in front of the Thunder Fortress.

At this time, the Thunder Fortress no longer looked daunting at first, and all that was left was the wood, stones and fortifications that were temporarily mobilized.

And, there is only one.

Simply put, it is only for the side of the grassland people camp.

Once this fortification is broken, the grasslanders can drive straight into Lealdri.

As for the Warren defenders after the fortifications?

Although there are still 3,000 people, they are no longer the 3,000 professional soldiers stationed in Thunder Fortress.

Warren's royal family's imperial guards, private troops, and some city guards were mixed.

Only one-third of the original professional soldiers were left.

This was what Mary told Qin Ran, and there would be no mistakes.

Thinking of Mary's previous description of Thunder Fortress, Qin Ran couldn't help but sigh.

Not only is the Thunder Fortress rebuilt from scorched earth so fragile like paper, but more importantly, almost all soldiers were depressed and had no fighting spirit.

Those elites are no exception.

Through the notification of the night watch soldiers in front of him, Qin Ran could completely imagine that once the siege battle was born, the Thunder Fortress was taken down in a wave.

Of course, even so, Qin Ran did not regret what he did at all.

He knew very well what he wanted at that time.

Just like now, he knows how to do it.

Step on.

In a row, the footsteps of several people started to sound.

What followed was a group of people holding the torches high, including James VIII.

Unlike Qin Ran's memory, His Majesty the King grew older again in just a few days, as if he was about to go.

Even when walking, I need the help of the servants on the side.

But the other party's eyes were not confusing.

In other words, the other person's eyes are the only difference from ordinary elderly people.

"Your Excellency 2567!"

James VIII tried his best to show the majesty and etiquette of a king.

But the environment is really out of place.

A few torches, camps in the wilderness, and slightly uneasy soldiers.

Such a situation fell in Qin Ran's eyes, allowing Qin Ranyue to see loneliness and loneliness.

However, Qin Ran still returned a greeting.

It is not only because of the other party’s identity, but also because of the other party’s willingness to give everything for this identity.

Without more contact, Qin Ran could not know that James was a good king, but the other party was determined to perish with the country, and this alone was worthy of respect.

"Father, Father!"

Mary spoke a little awkwardly.

Then, the girl quickly told the story of Lealdri.

"We need to clean up the 'maggots' in Lealdri! The civilians have not completely evacuated. If they take advantage of the situation and cause trouble, more people will die!"

Although they haven't been together for a long time, Mary already knows how to persuade the man in front of her.

Their own interests are definitely not enough.

It must be linked to the interests of civilians.

In the eyes of most rulers, this is sneering.

No matter what the surface work is or what the essence is, everyone knows it clearly.

A naive person like James VIII, in the eyes of other rulers, was completely self-defeating by his opponent's sister or even undermining it.

However, because of this, Mary doesn't hate the other person.

Well, just not annoying!

"Rock, take a team back to Leuldry and investigate this matter thoroughly!"

James VIII became serious.

The hunched body was already straightened, and the voice couldn't help but rise.

"But your Majesty..."

"Go!"

"The grassland people didn't attack at the beginning, so they wouldn't have attacked in the past few days. They need to figure out what their vanguards encountered!"

James VIII interrupted the middle-aged man in a robe and dressed in a wizard, and then his eyes looked at Qin Ran.

Clear, majestic eyes with exploration.

The wizard named Rock looked at James VIII and then looked at Qin Ran.

Finally, he saluted Qin Ran, and then, after Qin Ran was slightly nodded, he left with a group of people.

If you can follow James VIII to the destroyed Thunder Fortress or as a wizard, such a person must have the awareness of death.

Loyal people can easily gain favor from others, and Qin Ran is no exception.

"Old Master 2567, please come with me...I need to ask you in detail about some things!"

James VIII said, and walked into the camp with the help of his servants.

In front of a tent that was no different from other tents, James VIII waved his servants back and allowed Mary and Qin Ran to walk into the tent.

Huff, Huff!

As soon as he entered the tent, James VIII began to breathe heavily.

Obviously, His Majesty the King's body is far worse than he looks.

Mary hesitated a little, but the next moment she walked over, helped James VIII to the soft couch, and picked up the kettle from one side.

"Thank you, Mary..."

The old king whispered to himself.

With apologetic words, James looked at Qin Ran and said with a solemn expression than ever: "Only Mr. 2567, please take Mary away!"

"Leave Warren!"

"Find a place where no one knows you and spend the rest of your life!"

"I beg you!"

The old king said word by word.

He spoke sincerely, and even used the title of honor to Qin Ran.

But Qin Ran still shook his head.

James VIII immediately shook his body, and his breath became heavier.

Obviously, Qin Ran's rejection was an unparalleled blow to him.

"Sorry, I have promised Mary to help her protect Warren."

Qin Ran said slowly.

James was stunned, and he looked at Mary.

The girl nodded seriously.

"I'm not for you, for the civilians who fled, nor for the nobles who escaped at the last minute. It's just that my mother told me that since it's my own responsibility, I must bear it myself and not to shirk it to others. This is the belief that every generation of Swootburg owners must abide by!"

Mary said word by word.

"It's completely Ailean's tone!"

James VIII sighed.

The old king seemed to be trapped in some memories, and Qin Ran could clearly see the smile on the corner of the other person's mouth.

Warmth, nostalgia and helplessness.

The girl saw it too.

Then, the girl grabbed Qin Ran's cloak with her hands.

Very hard-working.

Feeling this power, Qin Ran lowered his head and looked at the girl's gaze.

"What I said must do."

Qin Ran promised.

Then, he signaled Mary to look forward to her father.

Mary subconsciously wanted to ask something, but before she could speak, she could hear the sound of horse hooves breaking the night.

Suddenly, the girl's face turned pale.

The grassland people... have attacked the city! (To be continued.)8
