When Narant and others returned to the castle, it was already dawn.
The moment the guards on the castle saw Nalant, they all screamed in surprise.
Seeing that the castle was safe and sound, Nalant finally felt relieved.
Although the dark creatures outside Maiye Village were not as dangerous as the group they encountered, because Vivian was the only one with extraordinary combat power, Nalant was still a little worried when he returned.
"Sir! Thank you for your hard work! Welcome back to the castle!" As the city gate opened, Nalant entered the castle first. Thomas had already been waiting here with his servants.
When he stopped the horse, the servants immediately brought him hot water and towels.
"Well, where is Vivian?" He rubbed his face hard with a towel, and his fatigue immediately dissipated a lot. Then Nalant looked around. He needed to ask Vivian about the battle situation in Maiye Village.
"Sir... Wuwu... You are finally back!" However, before Thomas could answer, a figure quickly flashed over and threw himself into Nalant's arms.
"Shirley, what's wrong?"
"Sir, there are so many dark creatures in Maiye Village tonight, it's so scary! And sister Vivian is even injured!" Shirley choked and spoke, obviously the wave of dark creatures tonight frightened her.
"Injured!" Nalant was shocked, and at this moment, Vivian just walked out of the inner castle. Seeing this, Nalant felt a little relieved.
"Sir, you are back!" Wei Wei'an's arm was wrapped in a large circle of white cloth, and blood could still be seen on it.
"Vivian, what's wrong with your arm?"
"Sir, I was just scratched by the hell dog, no bones were injured! It doesn't matter!"
It turns out that although there were barbarians in the battle outside Maiye Village tonight, the battle was still extremely fierce.
In particular, the Headless Horseman and Hell Hounds posed a considerable threat to everyone.
The Headless Horseman was better off, because with the big man Raymond around and trenches dug around the arrow tower, they couldn't break through the defense.
The problem is with the Hell Hound. Other dark creatures cannot cross a trench more than two meters wide, but the Hell Hound can.
After crossing the trench, several hellhounds climbed directly onto the arrow tower to attack the longbowmen.
Vivian was one of the targets of the attack. Because she was too close, her arm was struck by the claws of the hell dog.
Fortunately, Vivian reacted quickly. After being clawed, she immediately shot an arrow at the hell dog's head, thus resolving the crisis.
After hearing this, Narant felt distressed and a little frightened.
If Vivian was in danger, it would be too late for him to regret it.
After leaving the matters in the courtyard to Thomas and saying hello to Boris, Nalant took Vivian to the hall and asked about the results of tonight's battle in Maiye Village.
Through Vivian's report, Nalant learned that tonight's victory in Maiye Village was no worse than theirs.
Thanks to the horse trap Nalant had arranged in advance, the headless horseman of Maiye Village also failed to take advantage of the horse and fell off his horse early.
Because of the presence of barbarians, although the number of skeleton soldiers was large and the battle was fierce, the losses were not great.
Therefore, except for the thrilling scenes brought about by the Hell Dogs, this battle was simply uneventful compared to what Nalant and the others experienced.
The final battle damage situation was that no one was killed or seriously injured. Including Vivian, there were only more than 20 lightly wounded people in Maiye Village.
Of course, the reason why the loss was so small was that Raymond's bravery also played a crucial role.
With the big shield and brand-new giant ax built for him by Nalant, Raymond was simply a god in the battle, moving in and out of the dark creatures.
After several headless horsemen lost their horses, he was able to defeat them all by himself with the help of a giant shield.
In addition, it also benefits from the physical advantages of the barbarians themselves.
Most of the injured barbarians tonight were shot by skeleton archers. However, because the barbarians are strong and muscular, it doesn't matter as long as the arrows don't hit their vital points.
After Narant heard this, he immediately remembered the barbarian who was shot by Vivian last time outside the Village of Doom. After the guy was shot with an arrow, he just staggered, and then continued to raise his weapon like a normal person.
Come rushing.
While being captured, that guy miraculously survived without having to worry about any wound infection. This was much stronger than ordinary people.
…
"Hmm! Nalant, what is this and why is it so delicious?" At noon the next day, in the vestibule of Nalant Castle.
The vestibule was very lively at this time, with long tables placed there and surrounded by guards who were all shiny with food.
Boris and Narant were sitting at a table alone. After eating a delicacy they had never seen before, they immediately opened their eyes and asked Narant.
"This is called grilled oysters, and it's a specialty of my Storm Territory. Boris, how do you feel?"
"Grilled oysters? This is so delicious! Nalant, how did you do it? Why are all the delicacies in your Storm Territory so delicious and unique!" Boris was full of jealousy and asked, using his hand speed at all.
Without pausing, reach to the table again and pick up the next oyster.
"This... I actually read a cooking book before and learned it from it!" Nalant replied seriously.
"Cooking books? Narant, you still read this!" Boris clicked his tongue in amazement, "However, it seems that reading more books is indeed very useful, such as the book "Nicholas Sun Wu's Warfare". I will definitely look for it after I go back this time.
Come and have a good look."
"Ahem... Then I wish Boris you can get what you want!" Nalant coughed twice, paused before continuing, "Boris, are you sure you don't want to play in the Storm Territory for two more days?"
"No, Nalant, it's already the fourth day since I left the Black Rock Territory, and I've brought most of the guards in the territory with me. Now you have nothing else to do here. I'll set off to return after the celebration banquet is over!
"
"Okay, then Boris, if you come to Stormland next time you are free, you are welcome to be a guest in my castle at any time!" Nalant did not force it.
"Haha, just because of these delicious grilled oysters and the fragrant cream cake, I will definitely come here often?" Boris said with a smile, "By the way, Narant, this is Miss Stella's birthday.
Have you received the invitation to the grand ceremony?"
"Well, I've received it!"
"Then let's go to Tulip City together! Nalant, since you have participated in this competition, you should be more careful with your gifts. I heard that the other second sons are actively preparing for this time and want to perform well!
"
"But to be honest, among the several knights competing, you are the one I am most optimistic about, Nalant!"
After this experience, Boris really regarded Narant as an ally, and no longer only wanted to benefit from Narant in the past.
Therefore, he also very much expected Narant to win the competition.
Everyone else thought Narant was a good-for-nothing second son, but Boris now understood that whoever regarded Nalant as a good-for-nothing was a fool.
Next, Nalant and Boris chatted while eating and drinking, and agreed to go to Tulip City together at the end of this month. When they were almost done eating, Boris took his guards and said goodbye to Nalant, and set off back to the Black Rock Territory.
