Who taught him to restore the country like this

Chapter 88 Lion Heart
"of course."

The thin man looked very confident when he spoke.

"Then please show the heart of the White Lion," Ron said.

The so-called Heart of the White Lion is not a real heart of flesh and blood, but a mark.

It comes from the Lion's Heart, an elemental crystal that can improve understanding and enhance magical power.

Because the Magic City occupies part of the territory of the Lionheart Kingdom, there are rumors that it is the heart of the God of Magic.

In short, the royal family of the Lionheart Kingdom established the Lionheart Kingdom with the help of the lion's heart.

When the kingdom was first established, the royal family divided the Lion's Heart into two parts, keeping half for themselves and dividing the other half into three equal parts, which were rewarded to the three founding dukes.

The previous Duke of the Thorn Territory was one of them. He renamed this supreme honor he had obtained the Heart of the White Lion and passed it down to Leo's generation, which is now the fifth generation.

When each generation of lords came to power, they would use the Heart of the White Lion to mark the important officials of each town with their own mark.

The mark can bring a small amount of comprehension bonus and magic power improvement, but its main use is not this. Its main function is to monitor whether subordinates have any disloyalty.

Once someone has rebellious thoughts in their heart, the owner of the White Lion Heart will be able to sense it immediately.

In a town the size of White Bear Town, its sheriff must have the mark of the White Lion.

If the lean man doesn't have the mark of the White Lion, then he must be a fake.

Faced with Ron's provocation, the thin man acted fearless.

"Keep your eyes open."

He urged his magic power to flow towards his heart, and two seconds later, a silver-white mark appeared from his chest like a projection.

It was a lion with thorns all around its body.

Ron saw the mark and chuckled, "It seems the Heart of the White Lion has been obtained by the Duke's second son."

"What are you talking about?"

The lean man was annoyed: "This is the White Lion Mark that Master Leo gave me."

"Since the Heart of the White Lion is still in the hands of the Duke's eldest son, why doesn't he use the Heart of the White Lion to convey the conscription order, but instead asks you to do it?" Ron asked.

The owner of the Heart of the White Lion can convey instructions through the mark, which is obviously more efficient.

"How should I know what Master Leo is thinking?" the thin man said, looking away.

"The mark bestowed by the Duke's eldest son can only be used to convey orders. If the Heart of the White Lion falls into the hands of others, they will naturally be unable to issue orders to White Bear Town, don't you think?" Ron said.

"I can not understand what you say."

The thin man chose to play dumb.

"What on earth do you want to do by bringing this group of thugs in?" He changed the subject.

"My name is Thompson. I've been sent by the Duke's eldest son to White Bear Town to gather troops from various towns and go to Silver City to drive out the rebels and rescue the Duke's eldest son."

Ron looked at Thor as he spoke.

When Thor heard Ron's purpose, he couldn't help but look at Ron seriously.

"Nonsense! Young Master Leo is fine in Silver City and doesn't need anyone to rescue him. I think you are just making it up and trying to stir up disputes in the Thorn Territory!" the thin man scolded.

His tone seemed to indicate that Ron was lying.

This made it difficult for Thor to judge who was telling the truth.

"You said that you were entrusted by Master Leo. Do you have any evidence?" Thor asked Ron.

"Is this enough?"

Ron said calmly.

As the words fell, a white lion mark was projected from his heart.

"impossible!"

Before Thor expressed his opinion, the thin man could no longer pretend.

He looked at Ron's White Lion Mark in disbelief: "How could you have..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and quickly shut his mouth.

"You sound so certain that I can't possibly have the Mark of the White Lion."

Ron smiled and stood up, walking up to him and saying what he hadn't said: "The White Lion Heart is in the hands of the Duke's second son. Is that what you're asking?" "Nonsense!" The lean man's expression began to panic: "I just think that Young Master Leo doesn't need to do such a thing."

"So what do you think he should do?"

"I...I need to confirm your identity with Master Leo."

Knowing he couldn't win the argument with Ron, the thin man wanted to leave.

But he had only taken two steps when he was hit hard on the back of his neck. His body collapsed to the ground and he passed out.

Then two mercenaries came forward and dragged him away.

Thor didn't stop.

He had long been suspicious of the conscription order brought by the thin man, guessing that it might be the rebellious second son of the Duke, who was clearing out and replacing those who supported Master Leo.

But this was just speculation without evidence, and the other party had the mark of the White Lion, so he could not resist the order.

But now Ron's arrival can be said to have confirmed his guess.

"Sheriff Thor, are you still willing to serve the Duke's eldest son?"

After dealing with the people who were in the way, Ron looked at Thor and asked.

Without asking him whether he believed it, he was asked directly whether he was loyal.

"...What do I need to do?" Thor said after a moment of silence.

Judging from Ron's reaction when he confronted the lean man just now, it was obvious that what Ron said was true.

As a person who grew up in the Territory of Thorns, he naturally supported the Duke's eldest son to inherit the throne of lord.

Seeing Thor's statement, Ron nodded happily.

"You were transferred from Baimu City. How much do you know about Baimu City?" he asked.

Including White Bear Town, the Tiantu Mercenary Group has controlled four towns.

But except for White Bear Town, which is a medium-sized town, the other four are small towns. They cannot integrate many troops and also disperse the troops, which is not conducive to combat.

Therefore, Ron wanted to seize a large town as a base for integrating military forces.

Shiraki Castle is the closest large town to this area.

When Thor heard Ron asking about the news of Baimu City, he guessed that Ron wanted to occupy Baimu City. He said:
"Bai Mu City has 1600 standing guards, including over 70 cavalrymen, 150 longbowmen, two captains, and the sheriff, all of whom are level 50 warriors. With our current strength, it's simply impossible to storm it."

Ron nodded.

He knows this.

"Have the sheriff and mayor of Baimu City been transferred?" he asked, looking at the conscription order on the table.

"A new city lord was appointed the day before yesterday, and the sheriff has not been transferred yet." Thor said.

"How is your relationship with the sheriff?"

“Not much.”

"Do you have any acquaintances in the security team?"

"I have a good relationship with the two captains of the security team." Thor said.

After hearing this, Ron thought there was hope.

"Write a letter asking for help now and send someone to Baimu City," he said.

Asking for help?

Thor was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Ron meant.

This was to trick him into coming over from Shiraki City.

"Don't worry," Ron pressed his shoulder. "Whether they are willing to serve the Duke's eldest son or not, I won't make things difficult for them."

He moved out the Duke's eldest son.

Let Saul understand that this is not working for him, but for the Duke's eldest son. If he does not write a letter for help, he will be branded as unfaithful.

Thor was silent for two seconds, and finally wrote a letter for help and gave a token, which he handed to Ron.

After Ron confirmed that there was no problem with the content of the letter, he sent someone to deliver the letter to Baimu City.
