Before the female lord arrived at the foot of Rock Snow City, she had already seen a large number of people standing in front of the city gate from a distance.

The last time she saw so many people outside Rock Snow City, it was after successfully slaying the dragon, and David came out to greet her with all the nobles in the city.

And this time the leader is Huls, and there are more people outside the city than last time.

Together, the nobles and commoners lined up for three or four miles, not only to welcome the triumphant soldiers, but also to welcome back the masters of the land.

In accordance with the tradition of the West, Miss Rabbit had a small boat made of ash trees and placed the remains of the Marquis of Cullen in it.

The people of the Westlands believed that simply burning the boat would send the dead to the reed-covered place of eternal rest, where they would find ultimate peace and joy.

Although the Marquis of Coulen was not as accomplished as the most famous ancestors in the history of the Figuerola family, he was conscientious and impartial during his more than eighty years of rule over the West.

With him mediating the conflicts between the nobles, the lords of the western frontier rarely broke out into war, and most of the commoners were able to fill their stomachs and avoid the suffering of war.

Moreover, he and his family have also been guarding the frontier for the empire, intimidating nearby forces, especially the dwarves on the other side of the Dragonspine Mountains, until this incident, the Red Lion Empire had maintained peace with the dwarven kingdom for nearly seven hundred years.

Even because this peace has lasted for so long, many people have forgotten its hard-won.

Therefore, when those dwarves climbed over the seemingly impassable moat and appeared on the other side of the mountain range, it would be unexpected by everyone.

It also made the western border pay an extremely painful price.

In addition to the Marquis of Kulun, there were ninety-two nobles who died in the Dragon's Back Mountain this time, and almost all the major families paid heavy casualties.

The female lord dismounted about a mile away from Rock Snow City.

Now she has a BMW in her crotch, which was given to her by Edward II at the jousting tournament, named the Sun King.

The Sun King looks like a very divine horse, and in contrast to his terrible temper.

Miss Rabbit also fed it a lot of carrots before she got the right to ride it, but this horse has its own ideas, and the female lord is not always able to command it.

Therefore, the girl does not ride it when marching and fighting, and only at important moments like this one will it be brought out to fill the façade.

Hulse didn't wait where he was, and when he saw the female lord dismount, he also led people to this side.

Since Miss Rabbit was exposed for David's collusion with the Wing Clan, Hulse, the second son of the Marquis of Cullen, has also succeeded his brother as the next heir of the family.

And this time the Marquis of Cullen died, and Huls directly became the head of the Figuerola family.

The change of identity has also changed his temperament dramatically, and the frivolity of the past has disappeared, as if he has become much calmer overnight.

"Sir Ilea, I knew you would make your return!" As soon as they met, Hulse spoke.

"No, I was still too late to save Lord Cullen." The female lord lamented.

"It's not your fault, it's that the savages are too cunning, and I learned that they have sent a full 30,000 troops this time after receiving the letter from you, and that they have moved the savages in the mountains to become their allies.

"To be honest, I've been worried about you all this time, and I sent people to ask for help from the Campbell family in the Canquin Valley, but I didn't expect that before the reinforcements arrived, you had already led people to defeat those dwarves, which is really shocking."

Huls said as he looked behind the girl.

Miss Rabbit only took more than 5,000 people on the expedition in total, but when she returned, the number of people in the team was almost 20,000.

Most of them were dwarven captives, and in order to keep these captives, the female lord also negotiated a deal with the savages, asking them to send 3,000 warriors to help escort them.

That's why the team has become so big now.

And Miss Rabbit's worries were not unreasonable, and there were dwarven captives who wanted to escape, and there were people who wanted to incite riots.

However, those who escaped were locked by drones and chased back, and those who wanted to incite a riot also quieted down after Li Yu put a few salutes.

This reminded the dwarves of the inexplicable rout before, when all kinds of terrifying visions appeared in the sky, and it was clear that these imperial people had the help of the gods behind them.

In addition, Miss Rabbit made a quick decision and killed nearly a thousand people, so those dwarves were suppressed, and they accepted their fate, and they were escorted to Rock Snow City by the female lord.

And it was not only the dwarves who were suppressed, but also the savages who were called by the maiden to help.

Although they had been persuaded by the dwarves to form an alliance against the Empire on the other side of the mountain, they had been at war with each other until then.

The wildlings knew better than anyone the abilities of the dwarven warriors, who were small and insatiable.

But their skill at smelting armor and weapons is really good, which makes them well-equipped, and their strength and stamina are excellent.

Coupled with their hard-working and disciplined nature, they have become a well-known and powerful army on the continent of Bratis.

But such a terrible army, with its superiority in numbers and weapons, and its advance arrangement, was defeated by the Empire, which was far inferior to them.

The wildlings were now in awe of the female lord and the man beside her who claimed to be a prophet.

This point was also seen by the nobles of Rock Snow City, including Hulse.

If some people thought that the girl was just lucky to defeat the black dragon, then this time she only led 5,000 people and defeated several times the strength of her own, which is enough to prove that she has amazing military talent.

Huls had heard that the soldiers who had gone on the expedition had now called Ilea the Valkyrie of the Empire.

In addition, Hulse also noticed that many people in the army also had an extra strange bracelet of unknown material on their wrists.

Hulse knew that it was a unique identifier for the followers of the Shuanghu, who had been followers of Picia when they left, and had already converted with the female lord on Saturday when they returned.

This discovery made Hulse secretly frightened, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of worry in his heart.

He wasn't bothering about the Church of the Silvermoon, but Huls didn't really care which god the nobles of the Westlands worshipped, whether it was the Goddess of the Silver Moon or Saturday.

However, the Shuangxiu Sect is clearly closer to Ilea, not only because the Shuangxiu Order is in the Green Field, but also because Merlin, the prophet, is almost inseparable from Ilea.

There are even some gossips about the two of them in the West, and now the female lord has turned the tide twice in a row to save the West, and her reputation has almost reached its peak.

On the other hand, on the side of the Figuerola family, they have suffered heavy blows one after another, and the Marquis of Cullen is no longer there, it is the time of weakness, if the Shuangxiu Sect spreads again at this time.

Will Ireya, who has the help of the Shuangxiu Sect, also take the opportunity to have greater ambitions?

Hulse had no answer in his heart, and he squinted at the female lord, only to see that the latter was having the ash tree boat carrying the corpse up.
