Work Prophet

"Is the person on the Dragon's back Ireya?" Badur suddenly became nervous again, "Is she bringing people to attack us, where are her troops now?"

Voban said, "I haven't heard any news; if a large army was passing through, it certainly wouldn't be without a trace."

"So she came alone?" Badur's eyes widened, "Is she that bold?"

"She has a Dragon, under normal circumstances we really have no way to deal with her."

Hearing this, Badur also became interested, a crafty glint flashed in his small eyes.

"The new Lord of the Western Territory, there should be quite a few people interested in her head."

"We can agree to her demands and then take the opportunity to invite her into the castle as a guest," Voban suggested.

"Will she come?"

"Given your reputation, that might not be easy."

Upon hearing this, there was not the slightest hint of embarrassment on Badur's face. He stroked his chin and said, "So how can we trick her off the Dragon's back, pay her, or submit to her?"

"Why not try telling her you want to change your faith... I heard she's an incredibly devout follower of the Double Rest Sect, otherwise, Saturday wouldn't have sent down Divine Punishment for her, and she wouldn't be able to ride the giant Dragon named White Queen."

Badur was a bit tempted but also somewhat worried, "But if we really capture her, will we also attract Saturday's curse?"

Although Badur was a follower of Hunting God Kadies, this was only because his family had always worshipped Kadies. He personally did not have much respect for Kadies or the other Gods on Bratis Continent.

In fact, just recently, to show loyalty, he converted to Gaia, but after the Wing Tribe was defeated and fled back to Lion Heart Castle in panic, Badur secretly reverted back.

However, Saturday was different; it had just shown a miracle. It was said that those Wing Tribe members who ignored the warnings and went to the Western Territory were almost all wiped out without even fighting a battle.

Even an unbeliever like Badur was a bit frightened upon hearing about this event.

Voban said, "Then you'd better do as Ireya says and honestly release Pibo."

"Pibo can't be released," Badur shook his head, "Ireya came to find me for no reason, it must be that Lilania contacted her, and if Lilania finds out what I've done to her man, she'll definitely ask Ireya to kill me."

Voban was also somewhat helpless, "I advised you not to mess with Pibo."

"I didn't touch his nose or eyes, outwardly he's fine. It won't affect us using him as a puppet in the future. What, I can't privately keep a collection? Who could have imagined Lilania would seek Ireya's help."

"Then we have no other choice," Voban said, "We can only keep Ireya here as well."

Badur clearly understood this too, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally made up his mind and nodded, "Then let's do as you suggested."

"I'll go find Advisor Urban now to discuss and refine the details," Voban said.

To be cautious, the Lady didn't stay in a nearby town but chose a patch of forest to rest.

She set up the camping tent Li Yu recently sent her from the Dragon's back and picked up some firewood to start a fire. She had eaten a bag of little raccoons not long ago, so she wasn't hungry at the moment.

She roasted marshmallows with the gathered twigs.

Miss Rabbit wasn't worried about any wild beasts or bandits in the forest because the White Dragon was nearby, and any creature with a sense wouldn't dare come close.

The Lady felt Ivan had exaggerated the risks of this trip; apart from the journey being a bit tiresome, it was no different from a vacation, and Li Yu was coming back tonight.

Thinking of this, Miss Rabbit couldn't help but rub her hands together eagerly. Li Yu had said he'd bring her roast duck to try; Ireya claimed she'd eaten roast duck, but Li Yu said this time was different, it was the kind eaten with pancakes.

The Prophet of the Double Rest Sect was outside at the time, unable to bring back strategic supplies like batteries and diesel. Since the carry quota would be wasted otherwise, he simply brought food and drinks for the Lady.

Miss Rabbit hadn't eaten much all day, waiting until Li Yu returned, placing the plastic bag he was holding in front of her.

The girl's eyes lit up eagerly. She quickly reached to open it, only to find two small white boxes inside.

"Where's the roast duck?"

"It's in the box, already sliced," Li Yu said.

The roast duck had been ordered earlier. Typically, roast duck shops don't open so early, so Li Yu made arrangements in advance and had a delivery guy bring it over so it was still warm when he brought it.

Under his guidance, Miss Rabbit rolled one up and put it in her mouth, her eyes immediately lit up, and she praised, "Oh, oh, oh, this is delicious!"

"Then you should eat more; this whole duck is yours."

Li Yu, having just gotten up in the morning, wasn't interested in eating roast duck. He just sat by the campfire.

Listening to the girl recount the events at Ganlin Castle during the day.

"It's a pity you didn't see it, the people in the castle were all scared stiff by the White Queen, they didn't dare come out, only dared to sneakily peek from the windows, and as soon as I glanced over, their heads would shrink back instantly, I don't know if the shorty was among them."

"Even the guards didn't dare to come close, only watching from a distance. After I burned the flag hanging over the castle, I threw the letter to the one who seemed like a Noble; he should be a Knight, right."

"I told Badur to hand over the person by the time the sun rises tomorrow morning, bringing them to the slope opposite the castle, with Pibo counting as one of at most three people they could bring."

"The area is open, and they have no way to ambush."

Hearing this, Li Yu said, "You've thought this through quite well."

"So much time has passed, of course, I've grown too. I can't be as clueless as when I first encountered you."

Ireya said, wiping the sauce off her mouth with the back of her hand.

Li Yu handed over a packet of wet wipes.

"Now that you've reclaimed the Western Territory, do you have any plans?"

"Um... I don't have any special plans, just want everyone to get a breather. It's been constant fighting for two years; many people have died, lands haven't been properly farmed, and if it continues, we'll all go hungry."

"Hmm, taking a break to recover is quite a good idea."

"Is there anything you'd like me to do?" the girl soon asked again.

"Nothing, just keep following your own pace."

Li Yu was genuinely indifferent. Currently, his faith was maintaining a stable growth rate, indicating that the missionary capacity with existing manpower had reached a bottleneck.

Li Yu wasn't a ruthless capitalist, so he wouldn't extend work hours to boost productivity further. Even if Ireya conquered more territory, he couldn't send more people out for missionary work.

This break was a good opportunity to train more Sabbaths and also to produce more firearms at the gun and cannon factory.

Unlike Cornelia, Li Yu was not afraid of dragging things out. The longer it was delayed, the more advantageous the situation would be for him. With three to four hundred cannons at hand, he could directly sweep through without resistance.
