Action 19

At dawn, Ryan rushed into his residence for the second time.

The fatigue that had not been sleeping for a night was replaced by extreme excitement. When he came back for the first time, he was galloping with anger and reluctance. But now, the original anger had long dissipated. He was only excited and incredible at this moment.

Ruk was still looking at his book in the living room. Ryan walked into the living room with the paper in his hand.

"Uncle Ruk, this is the reply." He handed the paper to the uncle, and Princess Irina's signature was clearly visible.

"Oh, it seems that our Majesty the King is indeed a generous monarch. The answer is very quick and quick. Dear nephew, it seems that the first step we have to do has been completed smoothly. Go and rest."

"Uncle Ruke, what did you do?"

"I did nothing, but just helped our king to come up with an idea and then received a reward that I deserved. That's it. Isn't this a natural thing? When a minister helps the monarch solve a difficult problem, he naturally needs to get a reward."

"Uncle, what did you write in that letter...?"

"Haha. Dear nephew, it's actually very simple. In that letter, I said that Princess Irina is in the royal blood of both kings and is the undisputed legal ruler of Casilos and Saint Gene. But after all, Casilos is now in the hands of the enemy, and Casilos' nobles cannot join the princess' court at this time, which inevitably leads to criticism of one and the other, making the Casilos people feel disappointed. Such sinister rumors will definitely destroy the glorious image of the princess.

.In order to prevent the spread of such rumors that tarnish the princess’ reputation, I suggest that the Chancellor of Finance and Prime Minister be managed first, so as to show that His Highness has no partiality. After the recapture of Casillos, His Highness can select talents from both countries and entrust them with important tasks. That’s all. The others are the appendix. In the appendix, I sincerely request an opportunity to serve the princess, such as a clerk in the army."

"Temporary generation..." Ryan thought for a while. "You made this suggestion? This little thing..."

"Haha. Dear nephew, this is not a trivial matter. Princess Irina has been in Loren City for a short time, but she has never announced the candidates for these positions... This indecision itself reveals a lot of information. In addition, the real good idea is very simple, just you can't imagine it. In fact, what I am best at is speculating on people's hearts, so I have reason to believe that I will not be wrong. The princess is worrying about this problem!"

"Photographing people's hearts? But Thomas said that estimating the enemy's mentality on the battlefield is the most difficult thing, it is a boring adventure."

"Oh, my dear nephew. What I said about exploring people's hearts is not the same as what Thomas said, but it should not be completely the same. If Thomas and I were really allowed to command the army to compete on the battlefield, I guess Thomas could pinch me to death with a finger. However, in other places, Thomas is far inferior to me. This is what the so-called "professional expertise" means."

"Then this..."

"For example, what will you do next, our Princess and General Thomas?"

"It should be...attacking Casillos."

"No, before the war comes, they will ask the female prophets for support, that is, the saints and prophets who serve the God of Nature. Even Thomas will ask the Holy Grail Knights to join this war. You can advise Thomas tomorrow, and he will definitely be surprised by your knowledge." Ruk laughed.

"As for now, I can sleep for a few hours. Ryan, you are still young, but uncle is starting to grow old."

As everyone expected, Princess Irina's personnel appointment was announced the day after the dance. All the candidates were within the expected range. Only that "temporary generation" was unexpected.

People were talking about "temporary generation" and didn't know why the princess did this. Finally, there was a rumor from somewhere that came from answering this question: Princess Irina was not very familiar with the situation of St. Gene, and in fact, almost all the candidates were recommended by His Majesty Lan Jill, and the princess was skeptical about the old man's opinions, so she added "temporary generation".

On the morning of the second day after the princess issued the personnel order, General Earl Thomas summoned his four deputy generals in the barracks outside the city.

"Today, Princess Irina has provided me with more than ten deputy generals." Thomas seemed to sigh, "I refused in the end. But I did not ask for your opinion. Many knights in the mountainous areas have already returned. If you want to go back to reunite with your loved ones, I will accept your opinion and go through the relevant procedures immediately."

Four people look at me, I look at you, there is no need to speak, and the answer in everyone's eyes is the same.

"Sir Thomas, we are willing to stay." In the end, William Daly answered. "At least you have to earn a baron title before you can go back."

"What's going on when the Knight is back?" Asu Ruffat secretly asked Leo beside him.

"We are a remote province, and our obligation in the war is to provide the king with one thousand militias and archers, and two hundred knights. But the last time was a war in our territory, so the whole mobilized. Many knights' territory did not even have the defense force left behind." Leo replied. "But this is no longer needed now."

"This is the situation provided by our scouts and spies." Thomas spread out a map. "Since the destruction of the Greyhounds, the Paro people have no action at all. In fact, their main force has always been stranded in Casilos without a nest. They have been blocked very tightly, and our spies are completely unable to contact the resistance forces in Casilos... In any case, we have reason to believe that the Paro army will not launch any attacks before next spring."

"This time, Paro announced in the form of a decree that he would give up his faith in the God of Nature and worship the gods of the Star Realm. There is no doubt that this behavior greatly pleased the True God Church. In order to support Paro, the True God Church not only provided a large amount of funds, materials, volunteers, but also sent a large number of magicians to assist in the war. If we want to fight Paro's regular army, we also need magic support, otherwise we will be in a very unfavorable state. Based on this judgment, I have obtained the permission of His Highness Princess Irina, and we must seek the support of the female prophets as soon as possible."

"But the prophets never participated in the civil war in Stigia." Leo questioned. "Only when fighting foreign races such as the green-skinned orcs, or when foreign enemies invade, will the prophets and the Holy Grail Knights join us. Casilos and Paro are a feud. They have fought so many battles, but they have never heard of prophets participating. I suspect they will ignore our request."

"This was the case in the past, but now the Paro people have publicly abandoned their respect for the God of Nature, and the prophets will definitely not sit idly by! And we have no better way. Unless we also go somewhere to hire a group of magicians," Thomas replied. "Your Highness the Princess intends to take action himself, but I don't think this matter needs to be so big. If the Prophets really intend to help us, then a messenger is enough to complete the task. If the Prophets do not intend to intervene at all, then even if the Princess goes in person, the Prophets will definitely be unmoved."

"The status of this messenger cannot be too high, otherwise our army will appear urgently in need of assistance. The status of this messenger cannot be too low, otherwise it will appear insincere." Thomas's eyes swept across the four subordinates, and finally stayed on Ashurufate.

"Ashu Rufat, would you like to go there?"

"Of course." Ashu Rufate replied. He was willing to do it as long as it was Thomas's mission.

"I have a gift for you, Ashu Rufate." Thomas took out a belt-like thing, but obviously not very soft. "This is a talisman I made by myself. Take it with you and it will definitely help you when you are in trouble."

Ash Rufate took the weird-shaped amulet. However, he immediately found that there were buttons on both ends of the head and tail, which was obviously used as a belt. Of course, because it was a bit hard, it was not as comfortable as an ordinary belt.

"Leo, you are the deputy envoy to accompany Asu Ruffat. After all, he is not familiar with the specific situation of the Prophet, and needs someone familiar with the situation to lead the way for him."

"As for your order, yourselves." Leo replied readily.

"Also, on your way back, remember to go to the Dandeng Mountains. The lords there did not seem to have received the summoning order from His Royal Highness of the Princess and have not taken action yet."

"Leo, what is that... Prophet and God of Nature...?" As he walked out of Thomas' tent, Ashu Rufate finally asked his companions around him.

Leo widened his eyes, his expression not like he was looking at someone, but was looking at a freak carefully.

"Ashu Rufat, you won't... know nothing, right? Where did you grow up?"

"I'm just... a little ignorant. After all, I'm from a foreign land..."

"The God of Nature is a god that our entire Stigia region, and five countries respect together - of course, Paro has now changed to the gods of the Star Realm - He is the God of water, life, creation and courage, and the eternal Holy Spirit. His most common image is a girl floating on the surface of the water, extremely beautiful. Don't tell me that you have never seen such sculptures, embroidery or murals."

Ashrufa nodded. After all, he had been in St. Gene for a while and had seen such things. Of course, he did not understand the religious significance of it in the past, but he just found it very interesting.

"So, God of Nature is a goddess?"

"No, this is just an image of him. He also has an image of a large oak tree with dense branches and leaves. God has no gender, only a variety of images - don't ask me why, you can ask the Prophets or the Holy Grail Knights for this question, they are experts. Anyway, if you want to get the blessing of the God of Nature, then find a calm water surface, such as a lake praying to him. It's okay to find an oak tree. If there is no condition, you can make do with a piece of oak leaf."

"Will it really work?" Ashu Rufat looked a little surprised.

"Of course it will work, Ashu Rufate, you seem to be questioning the power of the gods? But the knights cannot ask for blessings at will. This is disrespect and blasphemy to the gods. The blessings given by the prophets instead of the Gods."

"Prophet? What's going on with the Prophet and the Knight of the Grail?"
