However, as a guy with a relatively difficult territorial position, as soon as someone comes up to take over power, he has to face many problems.

Maybe something like financial development, you can also wait for Selena and others, who have returned to the base to try to change careers, to return and arrange their identities to help deal with it later.

Even if it really can't be delayed, it can be solved with the help of Helen secretly, but there is a problem that obviously requires him, the new Baron of Blackstone, to find a way now.

"Fish-man has moved?"

Hearing the report of the only two professionals in the territory, the middle-aged man Lux, who was a junior warrior under the command of the territorial guard, someone who had not yet sat hot in the seat suddenly frowned.

Obviously, for Blackstone Ridge, as long as you want to develop, you can't avoid the number one enemy of the fish-man.

As long as these bastards take a wave of heads, it is obvious that all construction will be finished, and no leader will continue to work with peace of mind when facing the terrifying threat of being captured and eaten at any time.

And even if development is not considered, how to resist the harassment of the sporadic fish-man team is not a small problem, at least until the base succeeds in copying the professions in bulk and gets a large number of them to help him, this will be one of his biggest headaches.

"No matter what, as the new manager, the death of the old baron's family has already caused turmoil in the people of the territory, if I can't make any more achievements, the local residents will probably have to flee!"

In this world, it is always the ass that decides the head, whether it is out of the perspective of the interests brought by manpower, or out of personal dignity, now as a lord, he will never allow this kind of thing to happen!

"Take me to see the fishmen first!"

In the face of Dong Xuan's order, this guard commander was obviously resistant, just kidding! It was not easy to find such a new baronial heir, and if something happened, the inhabitants of the territory would not be able to eat him?

However, when he saw someone pretending to recite a spell, and then throwing out a fireball, his jaw almost dropped.

"I became an official mage three days ago!"

In the face of Dong Xuan's bland narration, this middle-aged warrior who had opened enough distance and really couldn't necessarily beat a freshly baked mage was speechless for a moment, and turned around directly to arrange for manpower.

"Your Excellency, you shouldn't have taken the risk yourself..."

At this time, the only person who can say such things is the old housekeeper who has always been loyal to the family.

Dong Xuan obviously has a good impression of this old man, at least when the main family encounters a crisis, not only does he not fall into the well to seek benefits for himself, but he works hard to continue the noble character of the master family, which is definitely enough to make all modern housekeepers who are accustomed to cutting meat on the master on the earth feel ashamed.

However, he knew in his heart that the old man's worries were not necessary at all, because even if the number of those fish people doubled, they would still not even be a threat in his eyes.

If he wasn't afraid of being found abnormal, he could have opened a big move at night to clean up all the fishmen nearby, and it wouldn't take too long, as long as he insisted on a week to ensure that there was absolutely no fishman in the nearby waters.

"Now, let's go and see how serious the fish-people here are..."

With the commander of the guards and ten guards who were just ordinary people, and took the reins handed over by the servants, Dong Xuan and his party rode off directly.

What I saw along the way, gave Dong Xuan the feeling of two words - desolation.

It was a fertile land with lush grass, but there was no human habitation, and even the occasional newly abandoned field and traces of the battle could be seen.

As for the corpses, it is obviously completely impossible to see, because the fish-people, who are never picky eaters, will clean everything up.

Whether it's human, or their kind...

Passing over a village that had been abandoned by the fish-men during the massive invasion three years ago, along the rushing river, soon the blue glow of the Endless Sea loomed in front of the group.

"My lord, you can't go any further!"

Coming to a small hillside, the escort commander stopped Dong Xuan, who wanted to continue approaching.

"This is already the outer area of the fish-man activities, and it is very easy to be discovered by the fish-man if you get closer, and it will be bad if the fish-man team is alarmed at that time!"

For the advice of experts, someone who doesn't want to behave too abnormally is naturally as good as a stream, and he looks at it from a distance here.

Anyway, for him who can use arcane to bless his vision, there is no delay in seeing the situation in the distance, and besides, there are those miniature surveillance machines.

Really seeing a creature like a fishman, Dong Xuan's development of this thing is obviously even more disgusting than the information introduced, especially the rickety body covered with all kinds of "seafood", which instantly makes someone nauseous enough.

"Go back and remind me and tell the kitchen not to cook fish for me lately!"

In addition to appearance, the food of the fish-man is obviously also a disaster, because someone can instantly see a whole fish-man roasted somewhere on a fire with a lot of saliva around it!

The thick wooden stick pierced through the mouth, and even he was shocked that this guy who was at least five cooked could still struggle slightly!

Suddenly, Dong Xuan's recent recipe lacked another item of barbecue...

In addition to helping someone go on a diet recently, he found a lot of information from what he saw.

First of all, the number of fish people is obviously too dense now, far beyond the limit that the environment can feed under normal circumstances, and countless fish people are surging in the coastal area, but there are almost no fish in sight, even small fish and shrimp are very rare, and they are barely maintained by the river that enters the sea through the territory.

I guess this is probably the reason why the "delicious grilled fish man" feature appears in their recipes, and it is purely that they are about to go crazy with hunger.

However, this fish-man eating fish-man state will definitely not last long.

You know, they are not really pure beasts after all, although the low brain capacity of most low-level fish-people is not even as good as that of animals, but the strongest among those fish-people are not equally stupid.

"It won't be long before they'll have their sights on humans..."

It's obvious.

Whether it's for the sake of getting enough food (which side counts as food in their eyes), or to reduce the number of races to a reasonable level, attacking humans can solve almost all of their current problems!

"It seems that you have to go back immediately to organize defense, otherwise with the current strength of the territory, once a large-scale battle breaks out with the fishmen, you will definitely die miserably..."
