Chapter 128 - 109: Discussion and Attack on the Sheep-headed Man Tribe (Part 2)

The second day.

The other lord who was notified, Barbus, also Thor’s friend, arrived at the castle.

The three began a serious discussion.

It was just the beginning.

Both Tono and Barbus were taken aback by Thor’s strength.

"Thor, you didn’t mobilize all the forces of your territory, did you? That would be a very dangerous move."

Tono even spoke up with a bit of nervousness.

He really didn’t expect that Thor directly brought two Great Knights, plus Thor himself, making three Great Knights, along with over twenty Official Knights, more than fifty Apprentice Knights, and three hundred Preparatory Knights.

With such power, Tono’s first reaction was that Thor had relocated all his territory’s forces here.

After all, to his knowledge, Thor’s territory only had two Great Knights.

Pulling away all the forces would not be a good thing.

If anything were to happen, his brother’s territory might face significant issues.

Even Tono couldn’t help but feel anxious.

"Yes, Lord Thor, you should send some forces back, otherwise, it could really become a problem."

"The Northern Province is not stable at present."

Barbus also couldn’t help but speak up.

"Brothers, Lord Barbus, you’ve misunderstood!"

"I haven’t mobilized all my forces, just a part of them. Moreover, my Eagle Territory has already formed the Maine Alliance with the Maine River Valley, which is enough to handle most issues."

Thor spoke with a smile.

"Still have forces?"

Tono and Barbus’s eyes inevitably filled with shock.

This strength of Thor’s was already not inferior to Tono, and yet his territory still had forces left.

Even they were taken aback.

Thor had only been developing for a year’s time.

"Maine Alliance, Thor, Pioneer Lords aren’t so trustworthy!"

After the shock, Tono still spoke up with some hesitation.

"Rest assured, brother. I have arrangements in place, and no issues will arise."

Thor shook his head with a smile, naturally understanding what Tono meant.

The Pioneer Lords of the Northern Province couldn’t form an alliance because there was no trust between them.

Compared to the inland territories, Pioneer Lords are more vibrant, which also means they are more unscrupulous.

Many things can be done for the sake of profit.

However, that doesn’t apply to others; in the Maine River Valley, it’s a different story. The few in the Maine Alliance are considered tested, and with the contract between three Baron Lords, there’s no need to worry. As for the other two newly-promoted Baron Lords, there’s even less to worry about.

With a ratio of four to two, nothing can go wrong.

"As long as you understand!"

Tono nodded, saying no more.

Being able to develop his territory to its current scale in such a short time and earn ennoblement, Tono believed his brother was not foolish.

As their conversation progressed, the group began discussing the territory occupied by the sheep-headed creatures.

With Thor and his three Great Knights and over twenty Official Knights joining, they already had enough strength to attempt.

Tono also had three Great Knights, over fifty Official Knights, and more than a hundred Apprentice Knights.

Plus, Barbus had two Great Knights, seven Official Knights, and over thirty Apprentice Knights.

This meant the combined strength of the three lords included eight Great Knights, over seventy Official Knights, and more than a hundred Apprentice Knights. Though it was still slightly behind the sheep-headed tribe, it was possible to take them down.

Under such circumstances, there was no need to consider seeking other lords’ help again.

After all, any extra participants would just increase the risk, so long as there was already some possibility.

Inside the castle.

The three discussed for an entire day.

Until the morning of the second day, they completed their discussions and prepared to take action.

During the conversation,

The three eventually decided to unite and first crush the sheep-headed creatures.

As for capturing all the sheep-headed creatures, it wasn’t considered for the time being. With the current strength of the three parties, it was difficult to capture them all anyway.

Although eliminating them all could easily attract more beastman tribes.

That was a possibility, but that was for the future. For now, it’s enough just to deal with this sheep-headed tribe.

The next day.

Tono and Barbus began quickly mobilizing their forces.

Compared to Thor, Tono nearly emptied his nest, and Barbus was almost the same.

After all, the sheep-headed creatures were located not far from their territories, and if they could quickly deal with their opponents, they could swiftly return.

Outside the castle.

A dense assembly of troops gathered.

Up to a thousand people in all.

And the number of Great Knights reached as many as eight.

Such strength, even in the west, was considered top-tier and capable of easily defeating most territories.

Of course, against the sheep-headed tribe, it was still a bit lacking.

As a Tier Three beastman tribe, despite losing their Tier Three leader, the sheep-headed tribe still had more than a dozen Tier Two beastmen, including three Tier Two Peak sheep-headed creatures. Compared to ordinary Tier Two, their strength was even greater, and even ordinary Great Knights may not be able to handle them.

The troops set off in grand procession.

Half a day later, they arrived at the territory occupied by the sheep-headed creatures.

"Thor, are you sure?"

Upon reaching the outskirts of the territory, Tono couldn’t help but ask again.

For Thor had actually taken the initiative to handle one Tier Two Peak sheep-headed creature.

Even at this moment, Tono was a bit worried.

"I can manage!"

"Brother, you just need to quickly take care of the other Tier Two beastmen!"

Thor nodded with a smile.

Only a Tier Two Peak sheep-headed creature, he was naturally able to handle it.

"Alright then!"

"I’ll take care of them quickly, but if you can’t hold on, don’t push yourself!"

Tono gritted his teeth and nodded.

Then he turned to Barbus, speaking in a serious tone.

"Barbus, the remaining two Tier Two Peak sheep-headed creatures are ours to deal with, and we’ll resolve them in fifteen minutes!"

"Hahaha, alright!"

Barbus laughed heartily and nodded.

Then the three began commanding rapidly.

Moments later.

A large formation of knights gathered.

"Charge!"

The three drew the Knight’s Sword from their waists, and as their voices echoed.

In the next moment, the thousand-strong Knight Order split into three groups and charged forward.

Boom.

Thundering hoofbeats, the ground shook with tremendous noise.

Within the territory, many sheep-headed creatures were still gnawing on carcasses and food.

After more than twenty days, they had not left, but instead remained here.

The remaining townspeople had undoubtedly become their food and tools of production. In just over twenty days, their numbers had increased by more than a thousand heads.

Even though they lost their leader, each sheep-headed creature was nonetheless filled with frenzy and excitement.

"God of Titans bless us!"

The three leading sheep-headed creatures prayed.

Yet, during their prayers.

The rumbling sound came.

In an instant, the entire camp was in a bit of a turmoil, the sheep-headed creatures stirred.

"Humans, it’s humans!"

"Food!"

"So much food!"

In the chaos, they emitted voices filled with excitement one after another.

They saw the approaching knights charging their way. As each figure entered their pupils, drool and excitement inevitably secreted.

The delicious taste of humans had completely captivated them over time.

At this moment, food was again delivered to their doorstep.
