After Buying a Cat Slave, I Become Obsessed with Eavesdropping on Her Thoughts

In a world where tomorrow's bread is never certain and demi-humans are sold like livestock, Reiner makes a daring purchase: a cat-type demi-human whose talent outshines her tragic circumstances. A...

Chapter 221 The Greedy Little Fox (1/2)

"Master, this power is even more terrifying than I imagined. Many people are frozen in time."

Lailisi squinted her eyes for a while, then slowly spoke.

The scattered smoke and dust had been extinguished by Reiner's rain, and the entire forest was in ruins. Almost all the trees within 300 meters around the meteorite landing point were crushed by the shock wave. When the trees fell neatly to the ground, they looked a little weird.

The hot meteorite made a crisp cracking sound when it came into contact with the rain, and wisps of steam rose.

Many Barnett warriors crawled out of the mud and looked at everything happening around them in a daze.

Reiner continued to ask: "Can you be more specific?"

Laelisi touched the horn on her head, blinked, looked carefully for a moment, and then continued, "The impact just now affected about two-thirds of the soldiers in the four legions. Thirty thousand soldiers suffered varying degrees of damage, and the magic power of one thousand of them was completely dissipated.

Their morale was severely damaged, but the Barnetts were resilient and their fighting capacity was only reduced by about two-fifths."

Reiner rubbed his chin.

They didn't control the force well. Not to mention continuing to cross the border to meet Peggy, they would probably have to go back and recuperate for a few months.

ā€œI’m not very proficient yet.ā€

Laelisi nodded and sighed, "It was a bit off target. If it had hit the middle of the team, it could have wiped out tens of thousands of people in one fell swoop."

Reiner tapped her head and said, "That's not what I meant. Let's go back and rest for a while. I'm a little tired after using up so much magic energy."

On the way back to the camp, Reiner suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, is everything normal in each territory now? How's Fiona doing?"

After a moment's thought, Lelith said, "Nothing unusual has been found on Fiona's side. Her troops are mainly composed of orcs, with only a small number of human warriors. If there were any unusual circumstances, they would be easily discovered."

"Don't focus all your attention on Fiona. The enemy might poison the food or water. With so many spies, it's hard to guard against them."

"I've thought of this too, and I've explained it to Fiona. There's a gap between orcs and humans, and they're quite sensitive to each other's existence. Even if they have this plan, they won't succeed easily." Lalith flew behind Reiner and gently hugged him with both hands.

"However, I have discovered infiltrating enemies in four towns, including Wenger's. There are about thirty of them, and they are basically here to assassinate the lord."

Reiner's mouth curled up. It would be quite a show when they found out that the lords of these four towns were all Lalith.

"How's Aidan's territory?"

"I told them about this. The town has strengthened its defenses and residents are strictly prohibited from going out or entering."

"That's good."

Reiner silently prayed that their assassination would be ineffective.

Aidan is the bridge of communication between Reiner and the Campbell family. It would be troublesome if he was assassinated.

As for the others, they are basically dispensable. Even if they are assassinated, someone else will soon take the position of lord.

"By the way, Madam Nora told me she's safe. She knows you're worried."

"That's good." Reiner breathed a sigh of relief.

Nora is such a smart kitten. She always seems nonchalant on the surface, but she is actually quite delicate inside.

"She rode a passing caravan's carriage and entered the border town of Barnet, where Prince Muir's opponents happened to be. She was ready to begin her mission."

Reiner reached out and pinched her cheek: "Having you here makes me worry less."

The corners of Lailisi's mouth rose slightly, and she said with a smile: "It is my honor to serve the master."

It was almost evening when we returned to the camp.

The demihumans are still constantly building defensive works.
