Who will it attack then?

Where else are there living people except here in Krobe?

not good! !

Krober quickly picked up the Jiujiu Cordyceps and Jiujiu itself and rushed towards the beach.

————

At this time, the soldiers who were supposed to be waiting for Krober's return on the ship suddenly felt that something strange seemed to have happened in the jungle.

"Oh no! There are enemies! Everyone, prepare to fight!"

One of the soldiers discovered that many humanoid monsters made of bright red roots appeared in the forest.

"Hurry, hurry! Spear and shield soldiers, hold them back, and archers, prepare to attack with rockets."

Although these soldiers have not experienced many wars, they still have basic war qualities.

Mace is a member of the Spear and Shield Corps.

The reason he became a spear and shield soldier was not because he only knew this, but because he liked the feeling of standing in the front to protect his teammates.

After seeing the enemy attacking, he hurriedly followed his elder brother Old Hans to form a formation and prepare to fight the enemy.

"emission!"

As rockets appeared one after another on the monsters, the kerosene attached to the arrows burned fully on their bodies.

But the monster seemed to have no sense of pain and continued to walk slowly towards them.

But it was all in vain.

Finally, under the burning flames, the monster turned into a pile of charcoal.

The death of the enemy greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers, and they fought even more bravely.

But as the number of enemies gradually increased, the archers' attacks gradually began to show flaws.

This is the time for spear and shield soldiers to show their abilities.

Fearing that the monsters would damage the ship, the spear and shield soldiers, led by their captain, jumped off the ship and engaged in close combat with the enemy.

However, unlike the results of the archers, the attacks of the spear and shield soldiers had no effect on these monsters.

"Use kerosene!"

In the end, it was Mace who threw a small bottle of kerosene he was carrying at a monster.

Then he used flint to ignite it, and successfully killed the monster.

"Mace! Watch out!!"

Mace, who was feeling happy about his successful killing of the enemy, suddenly heard the voice of his elder brother, Old Hans.

Eh, what?

A shadow suddenly appeared in front of Mace.

"Bang!!!"

This future official knight, the first noble knight appointed by Krober, was born into the tribe of the Sea People.

He died in obscurity on the battlefield of conquering Green Leaf Island.

“Retreat! Retreat!”

As the number of monsters gradually increased, the defense line formed by the spear and shield soldiers collapsed, and only four or five people were left in the team of ten.

"Golden Feather Arrow!"

Just at this time, Krober arrived late. After seeing the situation on the battlefield below, he hurriedly joined the battlefield.

"Where's the captain of the spear and shield soldiers?"

Looking at the chaotic group of spear and shield soldiers, Krober asked.

"My Lord, the captain died in battle!"

It was old Hans who answered Kroeber's question.

"What about Mace? Let him lead the team!"

"Sir...Mes...he's dead too!"

"Dead?"

Kroeber suddenly fell silent.

He increased the fighting spirit of the Golden Feather Arrow, and saw that the Golden Feather Arrow was like a Gatling gun, turning the approaching monsters into sieves.

"Then you will be in charge of the spear and shield squad."

"Yes! Lord!"

Since the monsters at close range were killed one after another by Krober, Old Hans had enough time to reorganize the team.

Looking at the monsters slowly moving towards the ship.

Krober suddenly remembered what he had overheard from the attic on the training ground.

"I must be the first to become an official knight, a knight of Lord Krober. I even have a title in mind! Krober's Blade!"

However, the future official knight did not even have a knight's sword engraved with his own mark, and even his armor was borrowed from the territory.

So his words were greeted only with the soldiers' laughter.

Later on, Kroeber almost forgot about the existence of Mace.

It was just by chance that he heard Hyer talk about Mays getting married.

I sighed in my heart that even the child who was almost starving to death at that time was going to get married.

I don't know what he was thinking at the time, but he decided to give him the knight sword he bought in Moonlight City as a wedding gift.

Thinking of the knight's sword that is still in his study, he can't help but feel a little empty in his heart.

Now he knows.

That is the feeling a lord has towards his soldiers and his people.

It is a responsibility, an obligation, and the comfort of a lord knowing that his people are living a better life.

Some might say that only some soldiers died.

Yeah, just some soldiers died.

As the person who personally caused the Holy Beast Island Massacre, Krober has long been accustomed to blood and killing.

But he was not accustomed to sacrifice.

People say that a man's growth involves sacrifice.

Krober didn't believe it before, but now he does.

The development value of Green Leaf Island itself is very high, and it can bring considerable benefits to Krober.

His best option was to kill these monsters one by one, then find the body of the rift worm and eliminate it.

All they paid for was the lives of some soldiers.

As a qualified nobleman, he knew how to make the choice.

Kroeber looked up at the sky. Just like yesterday, it was still a refreshing blue.

However, those who swore to follow him are already dead.

He glanced around at the soldiers who were gripping their weapons tightly due to nervousness, and noticed their legs trembling with fear but not taking a single step back.

He sheathed his sword and ignored the group of monsters that were approaching the ship.

Take a deep breath.

Spit out two words:

“Dragon Breath!!”
