After flipping through a few pages of the ancient book, Todd was overwhelmed by the abundance of runes in front of him.

Handing the book to shaman Minnie, Todd said to Maeve, "You and your child can stay."

Maeve, kneeling on the ground, exhaled heavily and bowed her head towards the enormous black dragon before her.

Frowning at the disheveled, stunning woman before her, Ivy first glanced down at her own chest, then said irritably, "Come with me, I'll find you and your child a place to stay in the city."

Watching Maeve walk further and further away with Evie, Todd looked down at Minnie at his feet: "Organize the contents of this ancient book."

Minnie smiled and gave Todd a slight bow before leaving the square with the ancient book.

Todd lay on all fours, his chin resting on his dragon claws, lost in thought.

Solving the Cú Chulainn issue is the most urgent task at present.

Facing Cú Chulainn, who had abandoned his human form and fully entered his Tyrant form, Todd believed that he, now in his second form, had the advantage in both strength and speed.

If it were just a matter of relying on his own strength in close combat, Todd believed he was 80% confident he could defeat Cú Chulainn.

However, the key issue lies in the silent spear in Cú Chulainn's hand.

A magic gun capable of automatically tracking and attacking enemies, and wiping out an entire army in an instant...

Todmore stroked his chin; there weren't many options available to counter Cú Chulainn's magic spear attack...

The first solution is to kill Cú Chulainn as quickly as possible before he can make a move.

To achieve this goal, a surprise attack must be launched at the right time, before Cú Chulainn can react.

With the deathly silence sent by Meredith, Todd was fairly confident he could accomplish it.

However, this method is very risky.

If Cú Chulainn is not killed immediately, his subsequent counterattack could be fatal.

As a second-best option, the second method is to nullify the attack of the Deathly Silence Spear.

Simply put, it's about figuring out how to avoid the attacks of the Deathly Silence Spear.

Todd pondered for a moment.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

Since the attack pattern of the Silence Spear is so similar to the homing missiles of my past life, how did armies deal with this type of homing weapon on the battlefields of my previous life?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there was indeed a kind of auxiliary weapon on the battlefield in my previous life, called a decoy flare.

For example, a fighter jet locked onto by a thermal imaging missile will release a large number of high-temperature loitering missiles at a 45-degree angle to the rear of its wing to induce the tracking missile to change its trajectory.

So, could this principle be used to counter Cú Chulainn's magic spear attack?

Todd looked at his body and began to think things through carefully.

If Cú Chulainn's Deadly Spear is aimed at his own soul, then he can use the ability of the "Soul Seed" to inject a portion of his soul power into objects, thus preparing a large number of baits imbued with his soul's aura in advance.

The moment Cú Chulainn makes his move, he throws out these objects that act as "guide missiles" to deflect the magic spear's attack, thus creating an opportunity for himself to counterattack.

After several iterations, Todd believed that this method might work.

What's lacking right now is experimentation.

After taking the Silence Spear out of the small building, Todd found some stones and infused them with his soul power.

Todd then carefully tossed the Silence Spear out.

He watched as the crimson weapon spun in the air before hurtling straight toward him.

Todd threw the 'bait' he had prepared into the air.

Sure enough, upon sensing the 'seeds of soul' contained within those stones, the Silence Spear immediately veered off course, smashing one stone after another into dust in the air.

Seeing the spear fall to the ground exhausted, Todd felt relieved; he had finally found a way to break Cú Chulainn's magic spear attack.

Next, it's time to prepare for the battle.

Todd summoned Alfonso and asked him, "Have the supernatural equipment and personnel transported from Twilight City been properly settled?"

The greatsword knight in black armor nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, the inventory of the Twilight City's ability storehouse contains a total of 95 kinds of abilities, 1261 kilograms of injection fluid, 105 pairs of dragon bones, and 200 exotic warhorses, all of which have been transported by sea and stored in the temple of Froststone City."

“Very good. Next, I will have the Shaman Assembly handle the matters concerning the inoculation of superpowers and the formation of the army…” Todd looked at Alfonso and said in a low voice, “I have another task that I need you to complete.”

"Your Majesty, please give your orders."

"I need you to go back to Muxi City."

Alfonso was somewhat surprised: "Return to Twilight City? Your Majesty, do you not intend to let me participate in the battle to attack the Kingdom of Ulster?"

“The war in the Kingdom of Ulster does not require your participation. Although the Froststone Legion suffered a defeat before, with the energy vault of Twilight City, there should be no problem this time…” Todd lowered his dragon head and said to Alfonso, “I hope you will transport something back to Twilight City this time.”

Alfonso nodded: "No problem, Your Majesty."

Todd looked at the knight who had risked his life alongside him and slowly said, "Don't you want to ask what I asked you to transport?"

“Your Majesty, your will is the will of the gods, and your words are the gospel of God.” Alfonso touched the pendant on his chest containing the hair of his wife and children: “Although I don’t quite understand why you use the name of the gods to spread the voice of God, my duty is to carry it out, not to question it.”

Looking at the dutiful knight before him, Todd remained silent for a moment, then crouched down and walked into the tower behind the sanctuary, using his dragon claw to retrieve a two-meter square object wrapped in layers.

Under Alfonso's puzzled gaze, Todd slowly unwrapped the canvas, revealing the contents inside.

It was a huge cross made of gold, silver and precious stones.

This cross is exquisitely crafted and extremely luxurious, clearly the result of the painstaking efforts of multiple artisans.

Todd carefully rewrapped the cross in the canvas and handed it to Alfonso.

“Take this cross to the Cathedral of Moxi, and they will know what to do.”

Todd added to Alfonso, "According to Emerson's recent reports, some changes have occurred in Twilight City... Whether it's good or bad, we don't know yet. However, if things develop beyond expectations, I allow you to call upon the Royal Guard to handle the situation. Also, take Randall with you when you go back this time; he might be able to help you."

Alfonso looked at the dragon in front of him with some surprise, but his knightly duty to obey orders made him choose to keep his mouth shut and bow to accept the command.
