Chapter 20 Territory Legend

"I didn't expect that I would be in big trouble."

Ictor did not expect that the territory he randomly selected would hide such a big crisis.

"Thank you Sasha, if you hadn't told me what happened, I would still be in the dark."

At night, Ictor rubbed his female apprentice's head with his generous hands. After changing her clothes, Sasha had changed from her previous sloppy appearance. Even the simple maid uniform could not hide her natural beauty.

There are also beautiful women among common people, but the probability of beautiful women being nobles is often greater.

He had thought before that Sasha, who was gifted with magic, should be a noblewoman, and the reality did indeed match his suspicion.

I just didn’t expect that the other party was actually the orphan of the former lord of Windsor.

Little Sasha overreacted a little when she heard that Ictor was the new lord of Windsor Territory, and Ictor naturally noticed this.

However, at that time, he was aware of the secret hidden in it and did not ask about it in front of everyone.

Until night, after the convoy camped by the river, little Sasha took the initiative to get into his tent

"Teacher! You said you are the new lord of Windsor. Is this true?"

Little Sasha, wearing a black and white maid uniform, asked with a worried look on her face.

Sasha's father, the current lord of Windsor, was troubled by this matter. The gnolls learned to attack at night, and two families were brutally killed in the night, and all their property was lost.

Someone heard the sound of sharp claws digging into the wood at night, and the footprints found afterwards also confirmed that this matter was closely related to the jackals.

Annoying goblins and gnolls live here endlessly, and when they encounter danger, they will hide in the Cambron Mountains backed by Windsor Territory.

The unfinished city, the chaotic construction site, and the main force of the expeditionary force still searching for jackals in the mountains, all pushed this expedition to failure.

Ictor withdrew his hand when he was about to put out the candle, and motioned to little Sasha to sit on the bed, while he lifted a stool and sat down.

"Do you have something to tell me?"

Peace lasted for decades, and the orcs never came south to visit this place again, but the gnolls and goblins could never be killed, becoming a major scourge that plagued the development of the territory.

However, when little Sasha saw this, she frowned and held her head in her hands, as if she had made up her mind.

"Of course it's true."

But the next day, people heard noises in the houses of the dead villagers again, and this time it was the villagers who died last time who appeared!

"If it's not urgent, we can talk about it later. I'm going to bed now, and you should go to bed early."

At that time, on the front lines, there had never been any cases of the resurrection of the dead. This situation was quite absurd even in a different world filled with magic.

Ictor was a little surprised. He was wiping oil on his big sword. Armor was neatly placed in the tent illuminated by candlelight, reflecting little bits of silver light.

"Year 853 of the Imperial Calendar."

After saying that, Ictor waved his hand, took off his coat and threw it on the bed. He turned around and went to extinguish the candle lamp, signaling the young apprentice to go out quickly.

However, the fact is that it is too fertile.

The empire's army has been busy cleaning up these gadgets. After all, although these "alien species" have limited combat capabilities, they always like to attack targets that lack protection, which brings a lot of resistance to urban construction.

Seeing that the time was right, little Sasha forced herself to calm down and slowly said:

"It's a very important matter, teacher, please listen to me!"

"Yes, teacher, I"

Little Sasha's hesitant look whetted Ictor's appetite, but even though they were master and apprentice, the two had only just known each other for a short time, so it was normal for the other party to be wary of him.

After seeing that the person coming was little Sasha, Ictor put down the sword in his hand.

This guy should be buried in the soil!

This is a fertile land with such a good geographical environment that the emperor considered developing it as a frontline city, and even sent an expeditionary force here.

Panic spread throughout the territory, and just a few days after the incident, two more families died by the same method.

There is indeed a profession like the Necromancer in the mainland, but it is more like a skeleton puppeteer than a Necromancer. The skeleton manipulated by it is a complete skeleton and cannot act independently at all.

Sasha's father immediately sent more guards and heraldry officers to appease the villagers. However, when dawn came the next day, the body of the guard was discovered.

Then one day, people found a jackal with blood in his mouth in the house of the dead villager, and on the ground, the body of another victim lay.

The frightened villagers fled immediately, but a few went home and picked up dung forks, and everyone surrounded the jackals and launched a direct attack.

However, the attacks by weak creatures were not all. At some point, an army of orcs came to Windsor City from nowhere, which brought disaster to the expeditionary force.

In the summer of 853 in the Imperial Calendar, the lords of Windsor Territory were worrying about things in their territory as always.

The generals and soldiers are tired of dealing with attacks from all sides, but fortunately the project has been making progress. People believe that they can finally take root here and enjoy the black soil and good climate given to them by God.

The dung fork is also qualified as a weapon, but for some reason, no matter how many times the farmer stabs the gnoll's body, the gnoll never dies.

In the end, the citizens could only burn it completely, because no matter how they cut it with a knife, they could not hurt it at all.

Fortunately, the fire cleanses everything.

After waiting for a long time, Sasha still didn't speak, so Ictor sighed and planned to find a way out for this stupid apprentice.

All the materials for city construction were looted, and the emperor was so angry that he was unable to launch another city-building operation.

However, one brave man broke its knees, and the gnoll could no longer get up. The Territory Guard came later and could not cause any harm to it.

The villagers panicked for a moment, and someone let go of the dung fork in fear. The jackal suddenly lost its restraint and tried to scratch everywhere.

"That's good."

So a new frontline lord was appointed, and the previous lord, little Sasha's grandfather, built a small castle.

"Say it."

The resuscitation of the dead made things difficult to deal with immediately. The territory was searched for necromancers, but nothing was found. Originally, there was not even a single mage in the territory.

So, as a normal nobleman, little Sasha's father decisively closed the castle and gathered all the armed forces.

At the same time, a fast horse was also sent to Donali City to find someone who could solve the problem.

Soon, the cavalry brought good news to Windsor.
