Near the rebuilt walls of the capital, a huge cattle pen with wooden fences was erected.
The cattle pen was already filled with countless strong cattle, with only a small area remaining empty.
"Moo~"
A deep moo rang out not far from the cattle pen, the sound coming from a group of stubborn bulls.
Several riders gripped the ropes leading the cattle by the noses, struggling to drive them into the cattle pen.
Is this the last batch?
"More or less."
After pushing the last few cows into the pen, they wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
The knights, panting, leaned on their hips, squinted, and gazed proudly at the herd of cattle gathered in the pen.
Did they think that with such a huge disaster happening in the entire capital, they had only evacuated the residents?
Yeah, right.
As the busiest organization in the entire empire, the Knights Order is responsible for almost every aspect of life.
Public security management is just the most routine thing; when necessary, it is also necessary to go to dangerous locations to carry out firefighting work and put out wildfires.
Sometimes they are even responsible for rescuing kittens that have fallen from trees in residents' homes.
Therefore, livestock such as pigs, sheep, cattle, and horses were kept in the capital.
The Knights also needed to go door-to-door to the nearby shelters and sheds.
After all, the Royal Knights of the capital are known for their comprehensive abilities.
The knights were not only devout believers and cared deeply for the people, but also possessed a wide range of abilities.
After all, the requirements for joining the Royal Knights are very strict.
Here, you may not live, but you cannot be without life.
Herding cattle and sheep is a piece of cake for them.
Now, after they had driven the stubborn bull into the pen, one of the knights looked up at the dark sky.
White, crystalline snowflakes drifted down slowly, piling up on their silver armor.
A knight stretched out his hand, examined the snowflakes in his palm, and said calmly:
"It's snowing."
"It looks like the snow is going to be heavy. Let's hurry and move these cattle to temporary shed number 47. We should leave now."
"Yes, Captain!"
The knights sprang into action, using all their strength to drive the oxen.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of the riders, the cattle in the pen were quickly moved to a temporary shed.
As a knight closed the gate to the shed, they mounted their horses, swung the reins, and rode away into the distance amidst the crisp sound of hooves.
Tomorrow morning, these cattle, sheep, and other livestock will be taken over by other departments.
We need to tally the number of cattle lost by each farmer and ensure they are safely returned.
The knights gradually disappeared into the distance amidst shouts of "Giddy up!"
The cowshed fell silent again, with only the howling of the wind and snow echoing across the land.
Not long after, a sturdy cow in the cowshed looked around furtively.
It shook its head uneasily, observing its companions who were quietly grazing or deep in sleep, and let out a low hum.
Then, it cautiously poked its head out, surveyed the snow-covered earth, and made sure no one was around.
After confirming that it was safe, the seemingly ordinary cow suddenly pushed off the ground with its two hind legs and stood up miraculously, just like a human.
At that moment, all the other cows in the shed turned their attention to the cow that had stood up.
The cows that were grazing stopped chewing and stared blankly at the cow that had stood up.
Those clear cow eyes were filled with doubt.
It seems like everyone's saying, "We're all geniuses, so why are you so outstanding?"
To the astonishment of its companions, the standing cow deftly stepped over the wooden fence and leaped out with agility.
It trod across the snow-covered earth, galloping wildly toward a vast and distant place.
The cow's two front hooves swung rapidly on either side of its body, leaving a long, blurry trail in the snow.
It deliberately rushed away from the inhabitants, treading through the thick snow and plunging into the dark forest.
Finally, after a sway of tree shadows, Niu Niu gradually stopped.
Looking at the intermittent footprints, and not knowing how far it had run, it cautiously began to explore its surroundings.
Seeing that no one was around, Niu Niu finally relaxed.
It sat heavily on the ground, its large nostrils flaring as it breathed in the cold air.
The warm breath exhaled formed white mist in the air.
It escaped.
They escaped from that monster-infested capital.
Jealousy is unimaginable; why would a human king have so many terrifying monsters?
The horrific battle scenes were still vivid in its mind, deeply etched into its heart.
Oweser had never told it any of this.
Fortunately, it managed to escape.
Although the cost was the loss of a host who had cooperated with it for over a decade, it didn't matter.
For a demon with a long lifespan, a mere decade or so is but a fleeting moment.
As long as it exists, it will have an opportunity sooner or later.
It is our inescapable duty to restore the glory of evil.
As Niu Niu was thinking, suddenly, a rustling sound came from all around the forest.
The jealous demon, upon hearing the entire sound, widened its eyes in an instant.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck it, and it cleverly stood up on all fours again, emitting a long, drawn-out sound.
"Moo~"
An ordinary toad suddenly jumped out of the weeds, breaking the tranquility of the forest.
Niu Niu stared at the toad and blinked.
The toad also blinked at Niu Niu.
