"Sir, after checking, all three wilderness barbarians are dead! Five of these intruders were seriously injured and should not survive, and the other five were slightly injured!"

With Nalant and Vivian in charge, and fifteen guards who were veteran guards who had seen blood, it can be said that these ten intruders did not cause any disturbance.

If Nalant hadn't explained it, Vivian would have harvested half of it with just one move.

The final statistics of the battle results showed that the five unlucky men were hit by several arrows and were shot in vital parts and could not survive. As for the other five, their injuries were not fatal and they had swords placed on their necks.

"Tell me! Where are you from?" After hearing the report, Nalant nodded and immediately came to the guard captain who had given the order previously.

"Hmph!" However, the guard captain still had some backbone and snorted directly at Nalant.

Nalant frowned slightly.

"Kill!" The next moment, Nalant said calmly!

Poof!

Upon hearing the order, the subordinate standing behind the guard captain did not hesitate and directly wiped his neck with his long sword.

The five long sword guards Nalant brought today were the original guards of Anthony. Like Quick and others, they were regular troops of the Earl family who had been on the battlefield, so they were not sloppy in the beginning.

Bang!

The next moment, the guard captain's eyes widened and he fell to the ground. He covered his neck with his hands and made a loud noise. Red blood kept pouring out from his neck.

When the other four intruder guards saw this scene, they all couldn't help but shudder.

"Let me ask you, where did you come from!" Nalant came directly to the second intruder guard.

"I said, I said, we are from Quinte Territory, the Baron asked us to come!" The fate of the guard captain finally made these guards feel timid. The second guard who was asked did not hesitate and said it directly.

"What did Quinte ask you to do? And what happened to those three corpses?" This answer was as expected, but Nalant was most concerned about those three corpses.

"Those three barbarians were brought by us from Blazing Grassland..." At that moment, the guard began to confess like he was pouring beans.

It turned out that just two days ago, Quinte sent a thirty-man guard team to sneak attack a small tribe of barbarians on the grassland.

Of course, no matter how small a barbarian tribe is, its fighting power is still very strong. They just took advantage of the women and children of that small tribe to get water and killed them randomly, and then robbed several people and came back.

And their purpose in doing this is very simple, they want to arouse the anger of the barbarians and let the barbarian tribes follow the trail for revenge.

This group of guards was responsible for bringing the captured barbarians to Storm Territory, and then killing them and placing the blame on Nalant.

"This bastard!" After hearing the guard's confession, Nalant couldn't help but grit his teeth.

This Quinte is really endless. This is preparing to destroy this Storm Territory of mine.

"Do you know what the population of that tribe is?"

"It's a small tribe, but before the sneak attack, I heard that there were at least hundreds of barbarian soldiers in that tribe!" the guard answered honestly.

"Hundreds of barbarian soldiers?" At this time, Nalant was no longer calm.

Although barbarians are despised by people in the civilized world, because they live in the crisis-ridden Blazing Grassland, their fighting power is actually very strong.

Just their bodies, which are twice taller than ordinary humans, are enough to prove it.

Therefore, even if Nalant is now Title Knight, he would probably be in trouble under the siege of more than a dozen barbarians.

In the past, Nalant's territory did not have to worry about the threat of barbarians, because Storm Territory was not directly adjacent to Blazing Grassland, but was separated by Quinte Territory and Blazing Forest.

But now that Quinte has made a plan to assassinate him, he must have arranged everything.

"Sherry!" The next moment, Nalant walked directly to the distance and called Sherry.

Because Sherry was worried that seeing blood would affect her growth, Nalant just didn't let Sherry attend the interrogation.

"Sir, I'm here!" After hearing the order, Sherry came to Nalant obediently.

"Sherry, you immediately send Little Gray and bees to Quinte Territory to check and see if there is anything abnormal there!"

"In addition, send more bees to patrol the edges of Blazing Forest! If you find any unexpected situation, report it to me immediately."

"Yes, sir!"

Sherry knew the matter was important and immediately started to do it.

After giving instructions to Sherry, Nalant then ordered to Vivian, "Vivian, dig a hole and bury the bodies. The living ones should be tied up and brought back to the castle!"

"Yes, sir!"

Next, the guards quickly began to dig a hole, and Nalant paid special attention to the corpses of the three barbarians before doing so.

It has to be said that the powerful fighting power of the barbarians is worthy of the name. These three corpses are obviously underage barbarians, but their height is close to 1.8 meters, and their arms and thighs are more than two circles thicker than Nalant.

After burying several corpses, Nalant and others escorted the prisoners and quickly returned to the castle.

A few hours later, Nalant received news from Little Gray sent by Sherry. It was almost certain that what the guard confessed was true.

It turned out that Quinte had evacuated the serfs on the only way to pass through Quinte Territory in the past two days in order to allow the barbarians following the trail to pass smoothly.

Moreover, Quinte has more than forty guards stationed at the border with his territory, and it is impossible to throw the body back.

In this way, all of Nalant's luckless illusions have been completely dispelled.

"Ding!, your territory is about to face a huge crisis. As a lord, it is your responsibility to protect the safety of the territory and its people!"

"System side mission: eliminate the crisis of barbarian invasion in the territory!"

"Task reward: The appearance of third place Daughter of Luck!"

"Hiss, third place Daughter of Luck?"

Nalant doesn't find it strange that the system issues tasks, because every time a big event happens, the system likes to join in the fun.

Now that it is 100% certain that the barbarians are about to invade, it is normal for the system to issue tasks.

And this mission reward is also one of Nalant's most desired rewards.

But, is this mission reward really that easy to get?

"Sir, how about we hand over these Quinte guards and explain things clearly to the barbarians?" In the castle hall, seeing his master frowning, Vivian suggested in a low voice.

"Explain, this is impossible. Not to mention that the two sides speak different languages, and the barbarians are notoriously hostile to us, so I estimate that before we can speak, they will rush up with Wolf Fang sticks or stone axes!"

Nalant directly rejected Vivian's proposal. The original owner also had a lot of knowledge about barbarians in his memory.

It can be said that most of the land under their feet was stolen from the barbarians.

The ancestors of the nobles relied on strong shields and sharp swords to drive the barbarians from this fertile land to the desolate and dangerous Blazing Grassland. Therefore, it can be said that the barbarians and the noble civilization have a deep hatred.

Coupled with Quinte's deliberate design this time, three corpses have appeared in his territory. The barbarians are not so smart to understand the nobles' calculations, so they must have caused trouble for him first.

If this were not the case, Quinte would not have designed it to blame Storm Territory.

"Sir, why don't you send someone to Black Rock Territory to inform Baron Boris and ask for his support!" Thomas also came up with an idea at this time. He also knew about the offensive and defensive alliance contract signed by Nalant and Boris, and it could be used at this time.

"I'm afraid it's too late! But no matter what, I have to give it a try! Thomas, please arrange for your servant to come over now!"
