Totini's adjutant asked, "What about the rest of the rats?"

"By the way, has Arcadia's body been found?" Totini asked rhetorically instead of answering his aide-de-camp.

When the adjutant heard Totini's questioning, he hurriedly said, "I have found it, but as the mouse said, the body has been separated! ”

As a wizard, Arcadia is a secret in Harold's territory, and he is mysterious and unpredictable, so that most people in Harold's power do not know the existence of this person, and only a very small number of powerful people know.

The lieutenant had heard of it, but he had not seen Arcadia himself.

"I'll take a look!" Totini was one of the few people within Harold's power who had seen Arcadia's true face.

By the time Totini arrived at the site of Arcadia's death, Arcadia's body had been stitched together with a needle and thread.

And Lorente's body was also placed next to Arcadia.

Whether it was Arcadia or Lorente, Totini knew each other, and after confirming the identities of the two dead, Totini ordered without emotion: "Bury Arcadia well, no matter what, as a strong man, you still have to retain his dignity!"

"As for those rats, let's kill them all, and it's their honor to let these people bury Arcadia with them!"

"Understood, I'll arrange it right away!" This kind of thing is not the first time they have done it, and it is a very convenient thing.

But before Totini's lieutenant could arrange what his chief had to say, he saw a herald cavalry suddenly run over.

After confirming that the order was from the highest level of secrecy, written by the Earl of Harold himself, Totini sent all his subordinates, including the adjutant, far away, before opening the letter.

After reading the letter, Totini burned the letter in his hand for the first time, and then after thinking for a long time with a gloomy face, he called his adjutant alone.

"A new order has just arrived from the Count!" Totini said to his lieutenant. "I'm going to rush back to the Golden Lion City as soon as possible!"

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. The adjutant said.

"No, this time I will go back alone with the people of the personal guards, you will stay here for me, and the Golden Lion Battalion will also stay, and it will be stationed here!"

"What?" the adjutant asked, surprised.

"You don't need to know the specific content, you just need to know that the more than 1,000 people here are under your command for the time being, and it is up to you to decide what to do with the people here, and I have only one task for you, that is, to use all means to turn this place into a fortress that no one can cross, no matter who is not allowed to pass through here without my permission. Totini continued.

"Also, I'm going to bring back the bodies of Arcadia and Lorente, you find something to wrap up the bodies, and I'm about to leave. ”

"Understood, I'll do it!" the adjutant immediately went to arrange after listening.

After a while, Totini began to return to the Golden Lion City with his personal guards and two corpses in wooden boxes.

The lieutenant who remained in Yezi Town was wondering what was going on in the Golden Lion City, and he was in such a hurry to recall Totini back.

It's a pity that he didn't have any guesses because he lacked relevant information, so he could only gather all the squadron leaders in the army and start arranging tasks.

"Don't kill those rats for the time being, all of them will be used as labor!" The adjutant said to his subordinates without any emotion: "In addition to these captured rats, arrest all the townspeople of Yezi Town, and people within 10 kilometers of Yezi Town, and let them use the materials in the town to repair and strengthen the city wall, and I want Yezi Town to become a strong fortress!"

In the following days, a large number of civilians in Yezi Town, as well as civilians in some small villages around Yezi Town, were driven to Yezi Town by the cavalry of the Golden Lion Battalion.

Originally, many civilians in Yezi Town, who fled to rural villages, escaped the disaster of the first horse bandits, but did not escape the disaster of the second bandits.

After demolishing most of the buildings in Yezi Town, Yezi Town was turned into a huge barracks little by little!

As Barron experiments with his newfound skills and talents, he discovers that his town suddenly becomes lively.

A large number of mercenaries began to enter and leave this unknown town, in addition to the mercenaries, Barron even saw the presence of many war merchants and nightingales accompanying the army, apparently they came with the mercenaries, where the mercenaries gathered, they were there.

The originally quiet town is now in chaos.

"John, what's going on outside, why are there so many mercenaries in the town all of a sudden?" Barron asked the innkeeper curiously as he returned to the inn and leaned on the hotel counter.

"You don't know what's going on?" asked John, the owner of the town inn, in surprise.

Barron smiled awkwardly, he had been immersed in the familiarity of his newly acquired attributes and skills for the past few days, and he really didn't know much about the things outside.

After a few days of contact, John also probably knew Barron's character, and without waiting for Barron to answer, he first looked around, and then secretly approached Barron, attached to his ear, lowered his voice, and whispered.

"Count Harold in the north doesn't know what medicine he took, in the name of eliminating the horse bandits, not only suddenly captured Yez Town, which did not belong to him, but also frantically built fortifications and fortresses in Yez Town, in addition to blocking the entry and exit of the entire Golden Lion City, in fact, in addition to Earl Harold's Golden Lion Territory, the three lords in the west of Scandhard, Viscount Carter, Viscount Friesland and Viscount Vandal, also used the same excuse to blockade their territory at the same time!"

"Now the entire Scanning Province is under the control of Count Harold, except for the city of Hercynian in the east. ”

"Although I don't know what Count Harold wants to do, there must be something big going on in the entire Scanning Province, so these mercenaries are here to see if there is a chance to make a fortune!"

"As for the other reasons...... he looked at Barron with a mysterious expression, a look of wanting to say something.

Obviously, the information that John just revealed was not a secret, otherwise John, a greedy guy, would not have told him so generously.

"It's still the same old rule!" said Barron, pulling out two silver Nader coins and placing them on the counter.
