I Can Summon All the Gods

Chapter 228

“Grandpa Boris, you finally wake up!” Nora exclaimed in surprise.

The confusion in General Boris’s eyes faded away. He looked at Nora and asked, “Your Highness, what’s going on?”

Nora said that she got a life-saving pill by chance. It was this pill that saved Boris.

After hearing that, General Boris sighed and said, “Your Highness, you should keep such a precious pill for a more critical moment.”

He was very clear about his own situation. The pill that could heal his injuries was absolutely precious.

Hearing this, Nora pretended to be angry and retorted, “Grandpa Boris, no matter how precious the pill is, it can’t compare with your safety.”

Giving Nora a doting look, General Boris didn’t say anything else.

“Your Highness, according to my investigation, there must be other forces behind the Barker Kingdom. The Vic family rebelled, and the Barker Kingdom also suddenly launched an attack. It might be a terrifying conspiracy behind it.” With the help of Nora, General Boris slowly leaned against the bed with a serious look. “So, for the sake of your safety, I beg you to withdraw from the battlefield immediately.”

Withdraw from the battlefield? Nora shook her head and said firmly, “As the princess of the Kingdom, I have the obligation and responsibility to stand together with all the soldiers to resist the enemy and defend our country. You don’t need to say anything about it. I won’t leave.”

“What’s more, have you forgotten that I still have a lot of methods that I haven’t used yet.”

“Well…” General Boris was slightly stunned, and the horrible scene where Nora killed the enemy with one finger involuntarily could not help but appear in his mind. Seeing Nora so determined, he sighed and stopped persuading her. Princess Nora was becoming more and more mysterious.

As the war approached, the atmosphere of Naton County became tense.

Lister, which was located in the northernmost part of Naton County, had a faint depression. If the army of the Barker Kingdom went south, it would not be long before the flames of war would burn to Lister. Although everyone knew that there was a level-7 master Athena and many other level-7 mages in Lister. Even the army had been defeated, not to mention that Lister was only a small territory.

Under the atmosphere of the war, 2/3 of the people coming and going in Lister were reduced. The people who had originally settled in Lister also moved out in order to avoid the war.

Locke could do nothing about this. Although he had announced that Lister was fully capable of dealing with the following war, most people still didn’t believe it.

For those about to leave, Locke did not stop them.

In the afternoon, Marquis Hyman, who had returned to the county to transfer people, arrived at Lister through a teleportation array. Along with Marquis Hyman, there were Mallory of the Scilar Magic Academy, some teachers, and students who volunteered to go to the battlefield.

“Locke, it’s not that simple this time. Maybe before long, Lister will become a new battlefield. I hope you have a mentally prepared.”

In the hall, Marquis Hyman said with a long face, “According to the latest news, Princess Nora is missing. The army of the Barker Kingdom has already broken through our defense line and begun to move south.”

“Nora is missing?”

Locke was stunned.

Although he was a little surprised that Locke called Nora’s name directly, Marquis Hyman didn’t think too much at this time. He nodded and said, “Yes, two masters suddenly appeared in the army of the Barker Kingdom, raided our army, and beheaded several generals, we also lost contact with Princess Nora.”

“Don’t worry. Nora won’t be in danger.”

Locke said slowly. Nora had the gifts given by Athena and others when she left. Moreover, Thanatos was there. Although Thanatos didn’t show anything, he could feel Thanatos’s concern for Nora. He would never let her have an accident.

Marquis Hyman naturally thought that this was just Locke’s blessing to Nora. He took a deep breath and said, “Princess Nora will be safe with the blessing of the God of Creation.”

“At present, the army is fighting the enemy in the frontline to buy time for the retreat of the civilians behind. We estimated that two days later, the army of the Barker Kingdom will attack Lister. So my suggestion is that you should withdraw from Lister first, waiting for the support of Lord Jeremy.”

Without any hesitation, Locke shook his head decisively and said, “We will never leave Lister.”

As he spoke, his eyes burst out with killing intent. “If they attack Lister, I can guarantee that what is waiting for them will definitely be death!”

“Locke, you may not know the seriousness of this matter.”

Seeing the determination on Locke’s face, Marquis Hyman took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “This is a war. In front of a war, life will be more fragile than ever before.” Even the front-line army had been defeated. Did Locke think that his small city could resist the army of about two hundred thousand people?!

“That’s right, Locke. Where there is life, there is hope. We should keep our strength first. I believe that we can counterattack in a few days.” Mallory persuaded.

“Do you think I’m brainless?”

Looking at the two anxious men, Locke asked with a smile.

They were both stunned. Indeed, although Locke had a strong talent, as far as they knew about Locke, he was not an arrogant person. At this critical moment, he chose to stay. Was there anything he could rely on?

“It’s not easy to build my land, how can I let others destroy it.” Locke smiled and comforted them at the same time, “Don’t worry. In the whole Grimm Kingdom, Lister is definitely the safest place!”

There were many gods behind him. The one who should really escape should be the army of the Barker Kingdom!

Seeing that Locke was so determined, both of them fell silent. After a while, they sighed and stopped persuading Locke.

“Since you don’t want to leave, we won’t persuade you.” After a long silence, Mallory said slowly, “But there is one thing that needs to trouble you now.”

“There are a lot of students from the Scilar Magic Academy. But you know, they have no combat experience at all. If they go to the battlefield rashly, they will only die. At their age, they shouldn’t and can’t face the bloody and cruel battlefield, so we want to keep them in Lister.”

After a pause, Mallory continued, “If anything happens to them, I hope you can take them away. After all, they are the students of the Scilar Magic Academy. I don’t want to see their young lives buried on the battlefield.”

Locke’s face turned serious. He nodded slightly and promised, “Don’t worry. I’m the teacher at the Scilar Magic Academy. It’s also my responsibility to protect students.”

Mallory smiled with relief. At the same time, he looked at the tall city wall of Lister with emotion. “Although I haven’t stayed in Lister for a long time, I have already felt the magic of it. Locke, it’s really amazing that you can build a barren land like this. If there is a chance in the future, you have to take me to have a good look.”

Locke nodded affirmatively and said seriously, “Of course.”

Then, Marquis Hyman, Mallory, and the others didn’t stay long, leaving Bryce and the others, and then they left in a hurry. The situation was changeable rapidly, they needed to seize every minute to support.
