The changes in the monster valley were notified to Duke as soon as possible, after all, the appearance of this unknown number of ghouls may be just the beginning. Because according to the historical records on the continent, ghouls are only one of the most basic components of hell creatures, and there are countless high-level hell creatures on it, if they also cross to this plane, they may have no less strength than ice demons.

Even if there are no higher-level hellish creatures coming to this plane, just a few thousand ice demons plus the ghouls that are happening now will make the situation worse for the current storm castle, and only a storm army with thousands of combat power remains, and relying on the defense of the fortress may not be able to withstand the attack of the ice demons.

Hearing the warning of the War Sheep Knight, as the dwarven tribe was about to approach the Storm Castle, Duke made the patrol line begin to shrink in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, and no longer ventured into the depths of the monster valley to investigate. Because compared to the expansion of human cavalry, the war sheep knight is more precious, and it is really not easy to cultivate a qualified war sheep.

If the citizens of Stormcastle were still able to accept the dismantling of the hydroelectric plant before, then with the arrival of the dwarves, the entire Stormcastle finally began to fall into a state of panic. After all, even if the dwarven warriors are not young in the storm castle in the recent period, it is the first time that a real dwarven tribe has entered the storm castle and lived with humans.

At the same time, some of the more astute citizens probably guessed that this time was definitely a considerable crisis, otherwise the lord would not have let the dwarven tribe ten kilometers away also evacuate to the city.

In the middle of the night, a young mother with her child in Stormcastle was closely watching the soldiers shuttling through the streets outside, with an expression full of anxiety and nervousness on her face. Because of this noisy scene, the child who was a few years old in her arms couldn't sleep, but such a young child couldn't understand why it was like this outside.

"Mom, there are so many Storm Army uncles walking over outside, do you say Dad is also inside?"

"I hope he's here. ”

The young mother muttered something that she knew that there had been a battle tonight, and that there had been many casualties. Before there was a curfew, she anxiously went to church to see if her husband was among the wounded.

It's just that too many wounded people are being transported to the church, and she can't see the appearance of each and every one of them. It's just that she hopes that her husband will be in this patrolling storm army, so that at least it means that he is okay now.

"Mom, is something going to happen tonight, will we be safe?"

The child also asked in a tone of fear at this time, because when he followed his mother to church, he heard some uncles and aunts next to him discussing that the Storm Army was in full mobilization, and it seemed that a more powerful enemy was coming. Looking at the tense situation outside, even if the child is still young, he was born and raised in a dangerous place like Storm Castle, and has experienced several ice demon crises, so he has a natural sensitivity to this dangerous situation.

"I don't know what will happen, but we will be safe, the Lord will lead us to defeat all evil, and Stormcastle will never fall!"

The young mother said this in a firm tone, and then looked in the direction of the castle in the distance, where Duke lived. If there is anyone who has given courage to these Stormcastle inhabitants right now, it is undoubtedly their Duke Lord who has come from that courage.

From a defeated fortress that could be breached at any time, to now with a powerful storm army, it can fight with some powerful opponents on the mainland. It was through these wars that the inhabitants and warriors of Stormcastle were given great courage, believing that under Duke's leadership, they could defeat all powerful opponents.

That's why, even though the situation at Stormcastle is worse than ever, this time they are still able to prepare for defense in an orderly manner, because they all believe that Stormcastle will never fall.

Now the whole castle of Duke is brightly lit, and almost all the candlesticks and oil lamps that can be lit have been lit this evening. The garden inside the former fortress is now Galileo's laboratory and the dwelling of the witches.

Witches lived here to hide their whereabouts, and Duke was behind to keep them safe. In the end, it was simply because he was used to it, anyway, the castle was so big, and Duke lived alone and it was empty, so he simply let the garden out to add a little popularity.

Otherwise, Duke always feels that this kind of gloomy castle with poor lighting, living alone is almost the same as the ghost castle in the movie, which is really unpleasant.

However, under normal circumstances, the witches of Stormcastle live in the hydroelectric factory, because of the huge shortage of magicians, coupled with the great demand for steel production in Stormcastle, they have to control the magic blast furnace in three shifts 24 hours a day to ensure that they can smelt high-quality steel that exceeds the mass production of this era.

Now, with the retreat of the entire hydroelectric factory, this group of witches has all withdrawn to the castle garden. As this group of witches stayed together, they also began to worry about the situation in Stormcastle, after all, although the world is big, there may be only one home like Stormcastle that can give them protection and warmth.

"Sister Rose, what did you say was going on outside, why did the lord even give up the hydroelectric factory?

In order to reassure people, Duke forbids anyone other than military personnel to reveal information about the Ice Demons, and the Rose and her group of witches are no exception. So they didn't know what was going on, and like many of the townspeople, they thought it was because of the Sea Clan War.

But for this, Rose vaguely felt that something was wrong, because the lord was not so nervous about the threat of the Sea Clan at all, and he never planned to give up the hydroelectric factory. And according to what Rose knew about Duke, unless it was a completely invincible enemy, he would choose to take a risk even if he had the slightest chance.

In the past, the Holy See Teutonic Knights attacked so strongly, and the lords had the courage to go out of the city to face it, but now they don't even dare to defend, in a sense, the next threat even surpasses the original Holy See Knights.

It is impossible for the Sea Clan to be such a big threat to the Lord, but what else is there besides the Sea Clan?
