Returning to the castle laden with spoils, Nalant handed the loot over to Thomas and Vini before finally relaxing for the time being.
Even he had not expected to deal with the orcs near his territory so quickly.
Of course, only Nalant could have accomplished something like this.
Had it been any other noble lord, even a viscount, they likely would have been no match for those Pighead People.
Not only did Nalant have a group of Daughters of Luck, he also possessed a devastating weapon like Little Bear.

Upon reaching Earth Knight, one could contend against high-level Magic Beasts such as the Blaze Giant Bear.
