A team of hundreds of people led by the Lord Knight can kill a few blood-sucking monsters even if they encounter them, and the Lord Knight can retreat safely.
But now, not only were they completely wiped out, but all the knights died, while the other side suffered no losses.
After a moment's pause, the servant shuddered, and he suddenly realized that he was in danger.
With so many corpses and blood splattered everywhere, it would definitely attract all the monsters in the wilderness, and as a weakling like me, I couldn't defeat them.
He quickly got up from the ground, staggered to his mount, jumped on it, and rushed towards Sundberg.
City Lord's Mansion.
Jonathan sat at his desk, looking down at documents. He looked very serious, but his hands didn't move for a long time. If someone could see his eyes at this moment, they would find that his gaze was straight and not focused at all, as if he was daydreaming.
He was waiting for news, waiting for news from his servants. Before he got the news, he had no intention of doing anything else.
Finally, footsteps were heard outside, and Jonathan suddenly looked up at the door of the study.
The door was pushed open, and the servant, covered in dirt, ran in in a panic, shouting, "Master..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Jonathan quickly stand up, walk around the table, come in front of him, and cover his mouth with his hand, so that the rest of his words could only become a whimpering sound.
Jonathan glared at the reckless servant, then let go of his hand, walked to the door, peeked outside, gently closed the study door, turned around and quickly walked back to the servant, cursing in a low voice, "Damn it, are you crazy? You want everyone to know what happened?"
Jonathan was furious. Was it right to shout about such a thing?
Private matters should naturally be discussed in private.
Then he realized that something was wrong. The servant was fine when he went out, but when he came back he was covered in dirt and had a bad smell. Looking closely, he saw that the stains were mixed with dark red.
Blood stains?!
He also thought of the servant's flustered look just now. The other party had followed him for a long time and had always done things steadily, so he sent him to do the liaison work with the noble knights.
Jonathan realized something was wrong, his expression changed, and he lowered his voice anxiously and asked, "What's going on? How did you get those stains on your body? Have you communicated the matter?"
When he asked this, the squire nearly burst into tears. With a voice filled with suppressed fear and trembling lips, he said, "Dead, all dead. My lord, the knight, and his men are all dead."
"What?!"
Jonathan's voice suddenly rose, filled with fear and disbelief.
When he realized something was wrong, he had already sent people there. Logically, he should have been able to catch up with the other party.
Even if the squires cannot stop the battle, it is impossible for the noble knights of Sundberg to be completely wiped out. There are hundreds of them. Even if they cannot win, they can at least resist for a while.
Jonathan suppressed his fear and continued in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense. Did you see the knights? How many of their men are left?"
He felt that the squire's description might be a bit exaggerated. It was most likely that the knights had suffered a defeat and suffered heavy losses. If it was exaggerated a little more, it would become what the squire said, "all dead."
There is nothing you can do about the huge loss. At worst, you can find a way to compensate them with your private property. After all, they are doing things for you, and you will have to rely on them in the future.
But the servant immediately shook his head when he heard this. Thinking of what he had just seen, his expression became even more terrified. "No, they are all dead! The knights and soldiers are all dead!"
His words were the same as before, with no difference in expression.
Jonathan was stunned.
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
I don't believe it!
"No, that's not right. Did you see it clearly? Did you see their bodies?" Jonathan grabbed the servant's shoulders and growled with red eyes.
His shoulders were gripped so hard that they hurt, but he dared not resist. The squire whispered, "I didn't see the knights' bodies, but I found their armor, broken armor."
Jonathan's body was shaking. He seemed to be talking to his attendants, or to himself, "Armor, that's nothing. They must not be dead. They won't die."
Seeing Jonathan's crazy look, the servant was frightened, but he still said, "In addition to the armor, there are also body parts. The body parts are all over the ground. The armor was found among the body parts."
This sentence broke Jonathan down. He let go of his hand dejectedly, took two steps back, and walked slowly to the desk like a defeated rooster. He fell back into the chair, covered his head, and rubbed his hair fiercely.
Like the squire, he couldn't imagine what kind of battle could have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people, and even fully armed knights were unable to escape from the battle.
The point is not how many people died, but that three noble knights died!
This is the real big trouble.
Although the noble knights were the lowest rank of nobility, they were also military nobles appointed by the kingdom. The death of three of them at once was a big problem for both the kingdom and Sundburg.
Especially Sunderburg. Those three noble knights were the garrison force around Sunderburg. Now, not only did the three knights die in the battle, but the soldiers they brought with them also died. This would cause their fiefdom to be unstable and they might not be able to resist the attacks of monsters.
If this resulted in heavy casualties and the desolation of the three fiefdoms, then in the end all of this would be blamed on him, the Lord of Sundburg. After all, it was he who ordered the three to gather and lead their men to intercept Li Ziyu.
