All he had to do was go around his grave, the viscount thought;

He had killed him with his own hands, and if the viscount had ever resented anyone, it would have been himself.

And if you go to the graveyard, you still don't respond...... Oh, that means he can't do anything about the person he hates the most.

Thinking of this, the viscount's brow gradually widened again.

While distributing wine and meat to the soldiers, the viscount also paid attention to their demeanor;

Although they were very happy to come to visit Hancone in person, after all, there was still a big stone in their hearts, so they were still a little uneasy.

In this way, the viscount quickly completed half of his inspection—reaching the easternmost part of the farmland area, near the forest;

Because it is closest to the forest, there are more magical beasts killed by the watchtower;

Their corpses were scattered and piled up nearby, emitting a foul smell.

The atmosphere that was not very lively was rendered even more dead by the corpses of these demonic beasts.

Well, it's time to make a demonstration. The Viscount thought so.

"Order all the soldiers of the guard tower on the east side of the farmland to gather here. Han Cone pointed to a clearing not far away and said to Zhuozhi, "I'm going to do something about them...... Speech. ”

"It's ......!" Zhuo Zhi listened to the order and quickly galloped towards the nearest watchtower.

In the interval between the soldiers' assembly, Chillcone glanced in the direction of the forest;

As usual, lush trees, lush grass, and scattered flowers......

If there is anything that is different from usual, Hancone himself will classify it as a "psychological effect";

On the contrary, the nearby scene is a little uncomfortable.

The magical beasts that were killed by the magic array on the watchtower fell to the ground in all directions, looking quite stunning;

For fear of being perceived as "stealing demon cores", no one dared to move them around.

"Lord Viscount, the soldiers are gathering this way!" Takue, who seemed to be quite diligent, stopped in front of the cold cone's horse;

Hancone nodded, motioning for him to stand beside him, and began to think about the content of the speech.

You only need to speak to a certain number of people, and when you get back, they'll naturally spread, Coldcone thought.

All I have to say is to treat myself to a treat, and then go to the forest to prove that nothing is wrong......

Whew, it's so simple.

One hundred and sixty soldiers were soon assembled, and the viscount ordered the distribution of wine and meat, and then ordered the soldiers to stand in line and listen to their speeches;

"Soldiers, as you can see, the demonic beasts that dared to attack the steel and wood city have all fallen here!" Coldcone felt that he had to take advantage of the atmosphere properly, "It's all your credit - therefore, I have come to reward you for your efforts!"

"Thank you, Lord Viscount!" shouted Takuzhi quite earnestly, and then the crowd rang out with sparse thanks—the knight himself thought he had done a good job;

Tsk, interrupt my speech, do all these useless tricks...... When you have made Black Oak a baron, I will give you to him!, the viscount thought with some displeasure;

"Of course, I know a little bit about last night. The Viscount took advantage of the time to further organize his expression to appear more calm and reliable" According to rumors, the forest ...... Someone is pretending to be a ghost and trying to disturb the morale of the army!"

At the mention of this sentence, the uneasy expressions of the soldiers who had finally been suppressed came up like soda that had been shaken and then opened-

"yes, that sound was so terrible last night!"

"I haven't slept well all night......"

"I heard that there was a coward, and I was so scared that I cried......"

These people really care...... But then the problem will be gone.

"I'm going to tell you—that's just a trick by sinister villains......! There has never been such a thing as a ghost!

I, Viscount Coldawl, will prove it to you!

The soldiers, who had already formed a queue, followed the viscount suspiciously in the direction of the forest;

They also knew very well that the body of the former viscount Sheep's horn was buried here—though they didn't even know if he was there;

"You see, there's nothing incomprehensible about it!" said Viscount Coldcone, looking forward, left and right, past a short clearing between the forest and the farmland, before entering the forest

"I don't even need an escort—I'll prove for myself that there is no danger here!" the viscount motioned for the soldiers and other guards to stop at the outer edge of the forest, and then drove the horses into the forest alone—there were still some places where the horses could pass;

Under the astonished gaze of the soldiers, the viscount gradually penetrated into the forest, and the outskirts of the forest were relatively sparse, and the soldiers could still see the viscount;

The Viscount is also quite confident in this, and there is nothing to be afraid of!

Even if there is really a villain ambush here, there is absolutely nothing to be done about himself!

There was apparently no one nearby - due to the dense canopy, it was impossible to know what was on the branches;

However, whether it is a long-range bow and arrow, or magic, it is completely helpless against his own sophisticated armor!

You only need to complete the patrol yourself, and the rumors of the unjust souls will be shattered by themselves......

Hehe, there must be a villain ambush here. The viscount smiled and looked at the canopy around him, where the little ones were most likely hiding;

But what can they do? they are a serious "silver" rank, and they have the best equipment in the city;

It can be said that he can be called the "strongest" in the steel and wood city, and any small tricks used by the attackers are just clowns' tricks, which can only add a little joke;

Come on, this is the absolute difference in strength, this is self-confidence!

As long as there is no absolute difference in numbers, you have nothing to fear!

"Whew——!"

The sudden noise behind him startled the viscount;

He hurried back, trying to confront the dastardly sneak attacker;

However, when the uninvited guest came into view, he laughed -

Laugh at the weakness of the other person and laugh at your own overreaction.

It wasn't a human at all, but a gray-toothed wolf—the lowest-level monster in the neighborhood;

Except for the sharper teeth, it is not very different from ordinary wolves, and even adventurers of the Black Iron Rank can easily deal with it, and sometimes they are even taken care of by hunters;

I'm a silver rank...... The difference in strength between the two sides is so great that it is almost like a strong bull and a weak cockroach.

"Come on, little one who slipped through the net. The viscount drew his sword, ready to kill the beast at once;

However, the gray-toothed wolf did not pounce on the viscount - the former looked more like a passer-by;

Under the Viscount's somewhat surprised gaze, it quickly ran towards a tree not far away......
