The Guardian's Sword

Ronald looked confused as he asked, "Is there a reason for that?"

"Yes, there is..." Sean nodded before continuing, "I contacted the Dragon
Kingdom army when I returned to the city defense army's main camp after you
introduced the stronghold giant crossbow on your doorstep that day...

"The Dragon Kingdom army says it will soon send a batch of heavy-duty city
defense weapons to Dorodo to strengthen its defense. With support from the
Dragon Kingdom army, I don't have to go through weapons dealers to buy giant
crossbows."

Ronald instantly understood after Sean said that.

Dorodo city's defense army's weapons mainly came from the Dragon Kingdom
army's support. Ronald also provided weapons, equipment, and supplies to
Dorodo's city defense army, but he was in the minority.

Ronald's support was only icing on the cake compared to the Dragon Kingdom
army's support. Therefore, now that the Dragon Kingdom army was supporting
Dorodo's city defense army with the same type of weapons, the city defense
army did not need to buy from weapons dealers.

"Thankfully, I haven't received the stronghold giant crossbow yet and only paid a
deposit... Thank you, Commander Lennon. If you hadn't told me this, I would
have lost a lot of money." Ronald thanked him sincerely.

"It doesn't matter. It's nothing. We should help each other," Sean said with a
smile.

It was already getting dark by the time Ronald left.

The weapons delivery from the Dragon Kingdom army arrived by nightfall, and all
ten ballistae were mounted on Dorodo's city walls in less than two hours.

With these ten heavy-duty ballistae, Dorodo's defenses increased significantly.
In this way, even an army of more than ten thousand men could forget about
taking over the city!

The ballistae's arrival also made everyone in the city defense army excited. They
were more motivated and fuller of spirit.

During training, the soldiers worked as hard as they could!

The chiliarches, Gregory and Anthony, were happy to see the striking scene
before them. Even Zander was bursting with pride!

Time flew.

As it got dark, Sean got out of the car and entered the Townsend family house
with Zander.

Mila and Ronald's first wife, Charlotte Chastain, systematically serve the cooked
meals in the hall on the first floor of the Townsend family home. Ronald's children
set the plates and wine glasses at the table.

When Sean and Zander arrived, they were warmly welcomed by the Townsend
family immediately. Ronald's wives came to the door with their children to greet
them.

The happiest of them all was Ronald's eldest daughter, Lillian, of course.
However, neither Sean nor Zander saw Ronald.

"Welcome to our humble abode, Mr. Lennon and Mr. Young. Please come in."
Charlotte said with a smile as she led Sean and Zander inside. After they were
seated at the dining table's main seats, Charlotte took a wine bottle and poured
Sean a full glass of wine.

"Mr. Lennon, here. Let me toast you," Charlotte said with a smile as she raised
her glass.
