The moonlight sprinkled on the fields at the edge of the village, paving the fields with a layer of bright silver for the vigorous crops.

If you look closely, you can see a thick black liquid slowly rolling off the leaves.

The corpses of some mercenaries, some of them local villagers, were scattered all over the ground.

The outer resistance of the village of Lange was quickly crushed.

Although there were more than seventy mercenaries of unknown origin stationed here, as well as hundreds of armed villagers, they were still powerless to resist the attack of the lord's army.

The mercenaries who had been ambushed in the forest before were probably the same group as the people here, so Vincent's sudden night attack failed.

The other side built rudimentary fortifications outside the village, strengthened the defenses, and put on a posture of fighting to the death.

If you notify the other party in advance, you will be ambushed by guard, and Vincent doesn't know that he is so hated.

The commanders of mercenaries and militias may also want to play a trick of arranging an ambush in advance in the fields and concealing the soldiers with large crops that are more than half a man's height in the summer.

It's a pity that in terms of battlefield situational awareness and command capabilities, they can't be compared to monsters at all.

The more he was on guard, the sooner Vincent would find out.

The lord's army made a detour and attacked from the other side of the village, and the ambush became an ornament.

There was no point in continuing to hide, and as soon as the soldiers who had just crawled out of the fields appeared, they encountered the long-awaited Sadaka and a group of monsters dressed in leaf camouflage clothes.

They have been waiting here for a long time.

The battle ended without any suspense, all twenty mercenaries were killed, and the peasants who were kneeling on the ground begging for mercy were all knocked unconscious by Brother Leopard and tied up, leaving some monsters to take care of.

On the other side of the village, the obstacles in front of the village have been pulled apart by the skeletons and monsters with barbed ropes, and the remaining skeletons are holding shields and attacking the weakest part of the village's outer wall under the leadership of Ninia.

Commanding an army of skeletons may have been more difficult than expected, but Ninia showed extraordinary courage.

This may have something to do with meeting a young lady from a noble family, who is holding her breath to prove herself.

Anyway, as long as you don't get mortally wounded, there is Prani in the army who can provide the most effective healing magic.

The mercenary's rain of arrows had no effect on the armored skeletons, and the group of monsters didn't even have a ladder, so they climbed directly over their companions and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemies on the wall.

Ninia took the lead, using her nimble body and knowledge of mercenaries to lead skeleton soldiers and mercenaries into fierce battles.

Truth be told, Vincent's hand-rubbed Broken Steel Sword is an ornament, and it may not be as good as the chosen mop in a fight, but it doesn't affect her from giving herself positive psychological cues.

Anyway, even if you go to the battlefield to fight for your life, it is better than completing the difficult tasks of the various strongmen assigned to you by the lord before.

In particular, assisting that arrogant magician in his research was life-threatening.

I don't know what means the owner used, but in a short period of time, she persuaded La Nina to use the latest research results of the Magic Academy to develop a new toy.

However, just as this young lady could not handle a lighter, so she could not handle the lord's other materials.

It didn't take long for two explosions to sound in her tent, and the magician himself was safe with magic protection beforehand, and Ninia's breastplate was hit by splinters once, leaving an unsightly dent.

Fortunately, the shape of the cuirass is not too three-dimensional, and the sheet metal repair is easy.

The finger-thick portable magic array had just been attached to the magic, and Vincent himself had installed it on the small object he had made.

I don't know if it's a problem with the design, materials, or assembly, but this thing will explode if it is used slightly.

The lord is a royal family close to the origin of pure chaotic energy, and keeping his human form is nothing more than a personal hobby, this simple physical attack can't hurt him, but Ninia is miserable.

So, she volunteered to attack the village, anyway, with the protection of monsters, safety should not be a problem.

The lord has no interest in going into battle, and he continues to tinker with his little invention in the distance, which is said to be in the east

The West was mainly prepared for the purpose of holding counterinsurgency celebrations.

In Ninia's opinion, this is very much in line with Vincent's plaything's personality, but letting him stay with the shrewd and capable female magician somehow caused the girl's heart to be inexplicably irritable.

It's a shame that I can't do magic myself.

So, in order to dispel her depression, Ninia turned her anguish into strength, and used it on the heads of those enemies.

The mercenaries' swordsmanship is very useful, but Ninia is also very familiar with their fighting style, and if you let the skeletons attack their leader at all costs, the rest will panic.

The peasants were even more vulnerable, and the sight of the female knight in armor would make her legs weak with fright, and she would be more frightened than when she saw a skeleton monster.

I really don't know what the old man in armor has done to make them so scared.

Ninia grew up in battle, explored combat methods, and fought back and forth with the enemies on the wall, attracting a large number of mercenaries to concentrate here.

Just as the people inside were drawn here, Vincent's lich unleashed rotten magic from the side, directly breaking down the walls of the village.

Truth be told, if it weren't for the lich's magic used too much yesterday, there might be another bloodless slaughter today.

Fighting broke out in the village, and the villagers hid in their homes and did not dare to show their heads, and thousands of skeletons soon occupied several roads, surrounding the mercenaries and armed peasants.

"You only have one chance to surrender." Ninia shouted to the villagers, "Your Lord is merciful, but cultists, scoundrels, and fools are not forgiven."

However, this time Ninia was destined to not have the great success of capturing the enemy alive, and several mercenaries with fierce eyes suddenly threw several scrolls at her.

If it weren't for the girl's agility, she quickly jumped to the side when she saw an unknown object, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

The scroll landed on the ground, causing a raging fire, and more than twenty skeleton soldiers fell into the flames, and soon fell.

The ground suddenly collapsed, and another skeleton fell.

Unable to tell who else had the magic weapon, the remaining skeletons threw various weapons at Ninia's orders, as well as arrows at the enemies in the encirclement, and everyone fell to the ground a moment later.

The hurried lich cast the Heart-Eater Curse directly on the corpses, an evil curse that curses everything that beats their hearts.

Those who pretend to be dead or faint are unable to resist after being cursed, and will experience great pain, and if they do not untie it, they will only be able to die.

The curse, which is usually used for interrogation, also worked, and several people struggled a bit before they were quickly caught.

After that, from the surrenderers and the dead, several unused scrolls were found.

"Miss, come and help identify where this is made."

Armed with the loot from his men, Vincent dropped several of the invalid scrolls in front of La Nina.

In the face of smart people, he doesn't have to say it too clearly, this eldest lady knows the fate of not telling the truth.

In addition, Vincent didn't care much about what the final answer was, he just wanted to confirm one thing.

"It was made by the Herod Guild, and there's nothing to hide." La Niña rolled her eyes and replied angrily, "Even if the mark is worn off, I can recognize it."

After saying that, La Nina stood up, shook the shackles on her hands, and puffed out her chest proudly.

"It's okay to invite me to go to war, you want the duke's daughter to kill your fellow clansmen for your demons, right?"

This arrogant attitude is disgusting today, and she really needs to be seriously educated by the lord.
