After a pause, Reiner said to Lelis beside him, "Confirm the identities of the fallen soldiers and provide their families with compensation as soon as possible. This is all we can do."

Thinking of her usual cold-blooded nature, Reiner added, "Remember, regardless of race, they are all warriors who have sacrificed their lives for Northgard. We must respect them."

Lailisi nodded heavily: "Master, I am sorry, I will show respect."

Reiner tapped her on the head, then headed towards the battlefield accompanied by Martina.

Imprint the covenant marks on the unconscious Barnet warriors one by one.

Reiner had already begun to imagine what these people looked like when they were cultivating the fields in the desolate northern border.

At that moment, Lelith hurried over. "Master, what should we do with the Barnett Legion marching this way? Have they been captured as well?"

Reiner shook his head and said, "Let them go back. Barnet has been severely damaged by capturing so many people at once. They will not pose a threat to us in the next three to five years.

There are still threats to deal with on the Western Front. Let the Barnetts fight among themselves. We only need to secretly support Muir to ascend the throne."

Reiner imagined that he could lie at home and the tribute from Barnet would be delivered continuously.

All they need to do in the next few years is to establish friendly relations with neighboring countries and vigorously develop magic.

After Northgard becomes prosperous, we will build railway tracks and write books.

"And what about Lady Nora?"

Reiner thought for a moment, then looked up at Lelith: "Who killed King Barnet?"

"I don't know. I only got the news the next morning." Lelith came over and whispered mysteriously in Reiner's ear, "Master, would you like to hear my speculation?"

"explain."

Lailisi raised her eyebrows and said, "I suspect it was someone like me who did it."

"Devil?" Reiner hadn't heard this word for a long time.

Ever since the elves established a defense line in the north to prevent the demons from moving south into the primeval forest, Reiner has never seen a demon other than Lelith.

"Yes, just now, I discovered the flow of evil energy in the Barnett Capital. Although the concentration is not high, it is enough to prove that there are demons other than me active in this area.

There are now elf and orc outposts in the northern border of Cannon. If the demons want to infiltrate the south, the easiest way is to go around to the west and then enter the mainland.

Elves are a peaceful species, and as long as the flames of war don't burn their butts, they don't bother to care."

"You can see the devil's magic, right? Can you find him?"

Laelisi shook her head. "That guy's magic control is even better than mine. He's hidden his magic power, so he's probably no different from an ordinary person."

He probably noticed that Lalith's clone was active in that area, so he chose to hide as the sixth one.

Ever since she decided to pledge allegiance to Reiner and hunted down several demons that entered the forest, Lelith has become an illegal resident in Hell and was directly expelled from the demon clan.

The corners of Lalith's mouth curled up slightly. "Even though I can't find him, I can probably guess who he is. After all, there are only a few demons stronger than me."

"Who could it be?"

"Tyrannical Gosol, he is the right-hand man of the Demon King and commands tens of millions of demon generals. This guy is cunning, powerful, and cruel. I admit that I cannot defeat him."

Reiner was slightly stunned, then asked, "Can it use mind control?"

Lailisi shook her head: "He is slightly inferior to me, but other than that, there is no way I can beat him.

Master, I suggest that Madam Nora come back..."
