Benson was sitting in the Earl's Mansion in the Twin Cities, still a little shocked.
He never expected that despite dispatching two seventh-level knights, he would still return defeated.
Of the 28,000 knights, only 5,000 came back. The losses were greater than last year's Pioneering War, which Benson could not accept psychologically.
A small country that was just established is actually so powerful.
You must know that two huge wars have occurred in its territory in recent months. Logically speaking, its national power should be declining.
Benson leaned back in his chair, feeling very melancholy.
This year's development order had only been carried out for a few days, and it failed like this. Moreover, he no longer had the courage to attack Dawn City. It was an invincible opponent.
One can imagine how angry his father would be when the news came back to the royal capital, and what those high-ranking nobles would think of him.
Benson looked up at the ceiling, his eyes full of confusion: "Master Heywood, what should we do now?"
Heywood frowned and sighed: "I didn't expect that the little king was so strong that he was no match for me. The most worrying thing now is that he will lead his troops to counterattack."
Benson was so frightened that he trembled, and then comforted himself: "This is impossible. He has to withstand attacks from several kingdoms. It would be good if he can defend his territory and city. How can he dare to attack?"
"If it were someone else, he might just stay in his own country, support other cities, and wait for the end of the development order." Heywood sighed, "But he is a Blood Dragon, and he dares to break into tens of thousands of people alone.
To assassinate the prince in a human camp, what else can he not dare to do?"
"But being besieged by several countries, does he still have any strength left?" Benson retorted.
Heywood raised his eyebrows: "What if all the border cities of the Blazing Dragon Kingdom have those powerful weapons? Other countries don't have seventh-level knights to fight, so the battle situation may not be as good as ours."
Benson still refused to give up: "How could such a powerful weapon be produced in so many quantities?"
"I didn't feel magic fluctuations from those weapons." Heywood's expression was quite solemn. "They are probably not magic props. We should prepare for defense in advance!"
Although Benson was very disdainful, he still chose to follow the advice of Marquis Heywood and ordered his noble knights to strengthen the protection and patrol of the city wall.
It later proved how correct his choice was.

Lisa flew in the air, searching for traces of foreign knights.
This time, although the number of people sent from foreign countries was relatively small, they were all elite.
It is difficult for ordinary knights to kill them, so the hunting work has to be completed by Lisa and Humphrey.
"It's really troublesome, everyone is avoiding me like mice." Lisa was a little irritated. She failed to kill all the foreign teams she was chasing a few days ago, which resulted in a few fish slipping through the net and spreading the news.
Therefore, the noble knights of the Feather Pigeon Kingdom and the Night Dog Kingdom would look up at the sky from time to time. When they saw the figure of the giant blue dragon, they would find bunkers and hide in advance.
Lisa is the first to be discovered due to her huge size, while people on the ground look as small as ants and can easily be ignored.
Yesterday, I met Marquis Humphrey who was riding an armored dragon crocodile. I heard that he had wiped out Prince Feather Pigeon's team, and Lisa had not harvested anything for two days.
Suddenly, she thought of the bedtime story Chris told Angel, which was about watching the pig and waiting for the rabbit.
Although Lisa didn't understand the relationship between catching rabbits and pigs after listening to the whole story, the method of farming serfs in it can be used as a reference.
There is no need to actively search for enemies, you can just wait for them to come to your door.
Thinking of this, Lisa landed on the ground and returned to human appearance.
She was wearing an elegant light blue dress and paired with her stunning face. Even the most determined men would be unable to hold back and be attracted to her.
Lisa sat on a stone and raised her snow-white feet: "Oh, my feet are sprained. Can anyone help me?"

"It's really unlucky. I didn't grab anything valuable, but I was chased everywhere." Horace, the prince of the Night Dog Kingdom, cursed.
He originally thought that when he arrived at the Blazing Dragon Kingdom, he could have a big fight in this new and weak country, grab a lot of property, and return home with a full load.
Horace divided the 2,000-strong noble team into many small teams so that he could expand the search area and maximize profits.
But they met with stubborn resistance. The Blazing Dragon Kingdom also sent many powerful knights, and there were also those big guys flying in the air who threw strange exploding things down, causing them a lot of trouble.
Later, Horace learned from some survivors that a light blue ice dragon was hunting them. It was said that she was the queen of the Blazing Dragon Kingdom and was very powerful, reaching the seventh level.
When the sun was about to set yesterday afternoon, Horace's team of thirty people saw the figure of the ice dragon in the distance. They were really frightened and hurriedly hid in the fields, only to be lucky enough to avoid it.
Danger.
A nobleman suggested: "Your Highness, how about we return to the country?"
Horace cursed angrily: "That damn little king has deployed a lot of garrison at the border. If we go back now, we will simply die on our own initiative."
They originally thought that the Blazing Dragon Kingdom would have to withstand the siege of various major countries. The fighting was mainly concentrated in border cities, and they had no energy to take care of the domestic situation.
As long as you bypass these war-torn cities, you can kill and rob with confidence and boldness.
But what Horace didn't expect was that the Blazing Dragon Kingdom could actually send so many knights to kill them.
"This is not the way to go. Sooner or later we will be discovered by that ice dragon." The eyes of the nobles were full of worry.
"What are you afraid of? If we are caught, we will disclose our identity and ask our family to pay more ransom to redeem us." Horace glanced at the people around him, "Look at you, you are such a coward. You are a dragon.
Just scared you?"
"But I heard that there is a seventh-level knight who is also chasing us, and several teams from the Feather Kingdom have died in his hands."
Horace snorted coldly: "The Pigeon Kingdom is full of poor people. They probably can't afford the exciting price, so they were killed mercilessly. What do we have to worry about if we have money?"
The people around him nodded in agreement and competed for financial resources. They, the Ye Dog Kingdom, had never been afraid of anyone.
At this time, a nobleman pointed to the distance and shouted in surprise: "Your Highness, look, there seems to be a stunning beauty there."
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on it.
