The Dragon Girl would never like the Lord.

Alba felt this was indeed a good approach, perhaps even better than the current reckless attack.

"Everyone, follow me back to the territory."

Wilson Gray didn't want to delay any longer and prepared to write a letter offering each family two thousand gold pieces, plus a 10% share of the future territory's profits over three years.

I'm sure someone will come to help.

Moreover, he was careful not to write about the situation here in the letter, but only told them that Leonard Ron was stronger than they had imagined and that they needed assistance to reduce casualties.

Wilson Gray estimated that with another fifty Holy Knights and several hundred ordinary knights, they would be able to completely annihilate Leonard Ron.

He knew that the enemy had only a hundred knights in total, and even if most of them became holy knights, they could still be wiped out with reinforcements.

"My lord, no, something terrible has happened! Our territory has been attacked!"

Just as the group was returning, a knight came running up in a hurry, looking anxious and even stuttering a little.

"What happened? Explain yourself."

Upon hearing this news, Wilson Gray was struck dumb, his spirits plummeting from rock bottom to the depths of despair.

"About twenty minutes ago, a sub-dragon with dragon horns and a fiery red body attacked the territory. I only saw it from afar. She killed several of her companions before coming down from the watchtower on horseback to report. I don't know the specifics yet, but judging from the strength she displayed, the territory is probably in grave danger."

The knight knelt on the ground and reported all the information.

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this news, Wilson Gray felt as if all his strength had vanished.

His expression became very serious, angry, and somewhat incredulous.

"Yes, that's exactly what I said, my lord."

The kneeling knight was terrified, fearing he would be punished by the man before him.

"Return to the territory! Return to the territory at full speed immediately!"

After regaining his composure, Wilson Gray immediately gave the order.

He never expected that the alien race would attack his territory at this time; it was too much of a coincidence.

Coupled with the previous two attacks, Wilson Gray became increasingly suspicious.

I have a feeling that this whole thing was orchestrated.

It's definitely not as simple as it seems.

However, with the territory under attack, it is more important to go back and provide reinforcements to prevent further losses.

Soon, the carriage returned to the territory.

Contrary to my expectations, I had anticipated a scene of utter chaos with smoke rising everywhere.

But to my surprise, the tent was basically intact, except that there were thirty or forty corpses lying haphazardly on the ground, with blood flowing down and pooling into a small pool of blood.

The sky reflected inside was blood red, like a painting of hell, terrifying and grotesque.

The knights, either pierced in the chest or neck, fell into pools of blood, already dead.

"Damn bastard, damn demi-human bastard, how dare you attack our territory!"

Seeing dozens of knights fall in battle, Wilson Gray was unable to contain his rage, but had nowhere to vent it.

Because that figure could no longer be seen at the scene.

"Tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"

Upon seeing the reinforcements return, the terrified serfs emerged from their tents. Wilson Gray, seeing the living people, glared at them and coldly questioned them.

"My lord!"

Upon seeing their enraged lord, the serfs' knees buckled, and they knelt on the ground, stammering as they spoke.

"We only saw a horned, fiery red humanoid monster rush in. The knights tried to stop it but were all killed. After killing everyone, the monster ran towards the mountains to the north."

After all the knights died, they thought they were doomed.

Unexpectedly, that terrifying thing left after killing the knight and did not continue the killing spree.

It's as if this trip was solely for the purpose of killing those knights.

"So, that monstrous hybrid came here to kill people?"

Wilson Gray found it hard to understand, because under normal circumstances, a subterranean race so ferocious as to attack humans shouldn't just kill the knights and run away.

Such a subhuman race would never spare those unarmed serfs.

This further confirms Wilson Gray's earlier conjecture.

"Okay, it seems so. She didn't go into the tent, nor did she take anything."

The people were also puzzled. They had all planned to flee for their lives if that thing attacked.

After all, if even the Knights couldn't deal with the demi-human race, then they certainly couldn't either.

But to everyone's surprise, after killing the knight, the other party left without even looking back.

"A reckless bastard who charged into human territory actually killed the knights and left."

Wilson Gray absolutely refused to believe that such a reckless and ferocious demi-human race could come to human territory, slaughter all the knights capable of fighting, and then leave so easily.

Because such a thing has never happened before in history, these ferocious subhumans who rush into human territory to slaughter people will not leave unless they are seriously injured or have wiped out the people in the territory.

Something's not right with this alien today!

This further confirmed Wilson Gray's suspicions:

"This hybrid demi-human must have been domesticated by humans to achieve this level of capability. On the other hand, there is only Leonard Ron in the swamp. Judging from the terrifying speed of development of his territory, this must be a matter of alien races, and they must have received help from the demi-human race."

He spoke his mind, and the more he spoke, the more shocked he became.

If what he said is true, then Leonard Ron is terrifying right now.

If we had found out about this any later, it probably wouldn't have been so easy to deal with.

"Then, what do we do now?"

When Knight Commander Alva heard this news, he was filled with fear.

Because the idea of ​​raising foreign races for warfare is something that even nobles across the entire continent find difficult to do.

Because of the language barrier, even after many years of training, one can only understand some simple gestures at most.

Moreover, if there are many subhumans, they are even more difficult to tame, and they are not of much help in actual combat.

Taming one or two like this is beyond the capabilities of ordinary nobles, while great nobles feel it's not worth the effort. They believe it's more worthwhile to train holy knights than to waste time, energy, and resources on such tasks.

Therefore, in the Kingdom of Saintis today, at most some nobles keep female demi-humans as playthings to pass the time.

"Don't panic, it's just that we've tamed a bastard."

After Wilson Gray obtained information about the enemy, he wasn't so panicked anymore. He spoke calmly:

“I will write a letter immediately and have it sent to the Northern Alliance. If nothing unexpected happens, the reinforcements will arrive by tomorrow evening. With Leonard Ron’s strength, he absolutely cannot go head-to-head with me.”

He felt that the other side's constant sneak attacks were a sign of their lack of strength, and that they wanted to continuously weaken him in order to be able to defend their territory.

If they were strong enough, they would have launched a full-scale invasion long ago, instead of sending out demi-humans to launch sneak attacks every time.

In fact, he felt that although he had suffered heavy losses, he was still capable of dealing with Leonard Ron with his current strength.

But being cautious, he still chose to seek reinforcements just in case.

Once reinforcements arrive, they will completely eliminate Leonard Ron, their long-standing nemesis...

Chapter 119 Phyllis is missing! Lucia is in tears! A night raid plan is devised!

On the swampy territory, atop the fortress, knights in heavy armor were drenched in sweat under the blazing midday sun.

At first, seeing the vast enemy army swarming beside the swamp in the distance, most people were filled with fear.

Although they train every day, they have never participated in combat, so they are inevitably nervous.

After all, training is with teammates, so both sides will hold back a bit, and there's no intention to kill each other, which is different from a real battlefield.

Only when soldiers have seen blood and witnessed death can they transform into true warriors.

Fiona was prepared to fight to the death, since the enemy outnumbered her by more than three times, making it extremely difficult to defend her territory.

But unexpectedly, the other party suddenly withdrew.

This left Fiona completely bewildered, as it was her first time participating in a war and her first time taking command in place of Ron.

They left, fearing the enemy might return.

Sending someone over to investigate risks turning it into a trap, resulting in the unnecessary sacrifice of men.

So I'll just wait here; as long as I don't do anything, I won't make a mistake.

"The lord is back! It's the lord!"

Someone, upon seeing the people approaching on the main road behind them, excitedly shouted.

The single stone stirred up a thousand waves. Everyone turned around and, upon seeing the man in silver armor riding a black horse, it was as if they had suddenly found their pillar of support.

My restless heart gradually calmed down.
