"Ah, miss, did you hear that the good-for-nothing second son was assigned to the land of doom! He is so unlucky!" Lina heard the breaking news again and reported to the miss.
However, Stella was already minding her own practice out of boredom. She withdrew from her meditation after hearing Lina's exclamation, "What kind of useless second son?"
"Miss, the good-for-nothing second son is Nalant of the Berwick family. Nalant is sixteen years old and has not yet been promoted to the Bronze Knight. He is the most useless person in the Tulip City Noble Academy!" Personal maid Lina
He immediately explained. "I didn't expect him to be so unlucky that he was assigned to the land of misfortune!"
"Huh? Assigned to the Land of Doom?" Stella finally became interested. She naturally knew the name of the Land of Doom, and she couldn't help but prick up her ears and start listening to the movements in the hall.
…
"The villain Thomas, the steward of Stormland Castle, has met the earl!" Thomas was led by the guards to the conference hall.
"Get up! Why did you come to Tulip Castle this time, and where are your Civil Affairs Officers from the Storm Territory?" The Earl frowned slightly when he saw that Thomas was the only one coming.
"Back to your lord, Sir Anthony, the civil administrator is dead!" Thomas replied calmly!
"Huh? Dead?" This answer was beyond the earl's expectations.
Aldin and a group of civil officials also showed surprised expressions.
"Why did he die? Anthony was a noble knight!" After a moment, Aldin finally realized what he was doing and immediately asked.
Anthony was the one he sent to deal with Nalant, and he was even equipped with five guards. How could he die so easily?
"Back to Lord Viscount, Sir Anthony was killed by dark creatures. The Storm Territory suffered two dark creature attacks some time ago. During the second invasion, the number of dark creatures reached twenty-eight! Among them, the hell dogs
One, a headless horseman, a skeleton soldier..."
"Hiss! Two waves of dark creatures, one reaching twenty-eight! And second-level hell dogs and headless horsemen also appeared... It is indeed a place of doom!"
"Sir Narant is really unlucky..."
When Thomas finished speaking, everyone present was shocked.
Twenty-eight dark creatures, this is enough power to bulldoze a small town. Without seventy or eighty guards, it would definitely not be possible.
The most important ones are the Hell Hounds and the Headless Horseman, which are entities that only titled knights can deal with.
Of course, while they were surprised, everyone couldn't help but mourn for Nalant... The land of doom! Nalan specifically said that if he won the competition and could survive for three years, then they would lose.
"Are there Hellhounds and Headless Horsemen? What are the casualties of the Storm Leader?" Lord Count asked with a slight frown.
"Back to your Lord Earl, in addition to Sir Anthony who was killed by the dark creature, more than ten guards were killed in the battle. As for the citizens, there were no casualties!" This was Nalant's special order. After all, not a single guard died.
This is so unreasonable.
"Huh? The casualties are so small!" However, the earl was still surprised after hearing this.
Of course, he didn't want everyone in the Storm Territory to die, but with such a large number of dark creatures, he felt that they would definitely be invincible with Nalant's military strength.
"Impossible, twenty-eight dark creatures invaded, how could the casualties be so small? Could it be that the four barons with fighting spirit in the past were not as powerful as Nalant, a waste of practice!" Aldin also immediately noticed the loophole.
The twenty-eight dark creatures were something that the previous barons couldn't deal with. He didn't believe that a good-for-nothing second son could deal with them, and Anthony, who he sent there, died.
He felt that this must be a conspiracy. It was very likely that the invasion of dark creatures was a fiction to cover up Nalant's plot against Anthony.
"Sir Aldin's words seem to make sense! All those barons died in battles in the past, and Nalant has no fighting spirit. How could he survive with so few casualties?"
Not to mention that Aldin didn't believe it, even the civil officials looked suspicious. With such a number of dark creatures in their territory, no one of them could confidently resist it.
However, Thomas did not panic in the face of everyone's doubts.
He said calmly: "My Lord Count, Lord Narant is already a knight with the title, and when the dark creatures invaded, it happened to happen at the gate of the castle. Lord Narant took the lead and personally killed the hell dogs and hell knights.
, so the guards were able to destroy the remaining dark creatures under the leadership of Lord Nalant!"
"Lord Earl, we have brought the bodies of the Headless Horseman and Hell Hounds. They are in the carriage in the front yard of the castle. You can ask the guards to bring them in!"
Nalant had long expected that Aldin would not let go of Anthony's death easily, so he brought the bones of two second-level dark creatures to stop everyone's suspicion.
"Have someone bring the bones in!" Lord Earl was also curious about whether this matter was true or not.
After a while, with the Earl's permission, Quick and others brought two complete skeletons of dark creatures to the conference room.
"It turns out to be true. These are indeed the bones of the Hell Hound and the Headless Horseman!"
"That Viscount Nalant is so awesome! How come you still called him a waste before?"
"It's probably because of luck! Didn't you hear that these dark creatures landed at the gate of the castle? Dark creatures are the best to deal with when they land!"
When two huge corpses appeared, no one would doubt them.
Even the earl above couldn't help but nod after looking at it. He was obviously very impressed with Nalant's ability to deal with these two second-level dark creatures. Although there was an element of luck in this, he had the courage to face the second-level dark creatures.
Already very courageous.
…
"Wow! Miss, that good-for-nothing second son is so powerful now? He actually killed so many dark creatures!" Behind the stone pillar, Lina covered her mouth and cried out in surprise. For someone like her who lives in the safest place in the earl territory,
To humans, dark creatures are like creatures in another world.
However, people like them who have been in peace for a long time are increasingly afraid of dark creatures.
"Well, this second son is quite capable. From what you just said, he should have been promoted not long ago!" Stella was quite interested.
When I was in the academy, there were many noble children who killed low-level dark creatures like Hell Dogs, but those noble children were either high-level bronze knights or silver knights. I had never heard of low-level bronze knights.
Pass!
…
"Nalant is very good. He is worthy of being the heir of Andrew. He can kill two second-level dark creatures at a young age!" The discussion below gradually dispersed, and the earl spoke in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Lord Earl, for your compliments. I will definitely tell Lord Nalant about it when I get back!"
boom!
"Aldin, where are you bastard? I'm going to kill you today!" At this moment, the originally closed door of the hall was suddenly kicked open, and a burly man walked in with an angry look.
The momentum of holding a giant ax weighing dozens of kilograms in his hand is really terrifying!
