That’s called a great victory?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord, these bastards are shameless!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the news of the great victory, Migen’s face twisted with contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Migen’s contempt carried no weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Gervas and the others arrived at Heibei Village, the nobles and soldiers who had fought wore broad smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Count Farrio happened to spot Gervas’s arrival and smiled warmly at Commander Brick beside him: \"Commander Brick, the Storm Lord’s men arrived just in time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They didn’t fight at all from the rear—perfect timing to assign them cleanup duty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, the soldiers who actually fought must be exhausted!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander Brick, what do you think of my suggestion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commander Brick gave Gervas a cold, pitying glance. \"I have no objection. Do as you please, Count Farrio.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Commander Brick walked away. Though he did not stop Farrio’s overreach, he had no interest in getting involved in such dirty noble games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Baron Gervas, you heard it—now have your men begin clearing the battlefield. All other noble units remain where they are and rest!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem, Count Farrio!\" Gervas accepted the order without a trace of anger, even smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This slightly furrowed Farrio’s brow—he couldn’t read this boy at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, after days of targeted harassment, this damn brat should have come begging for an explanation—asking why he was being targeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this boy had acted as if he didn’t care at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could he already know about my ties to the Scorpion Brotherhood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Farrio’s eyes grew even colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, he’d have to find a way to kill him and silence him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the varied glances of other nobles, the Storm Lord’s soldiers sullenly began hauling corpses and other cleanup tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even neighbors like Kain and Mil wanted to help, but thinking of Count Farrio, they could only pretend not to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, as expected, Count Farrio issued another order assigning the Storm Legion to night watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And because today’s first battle had been a great victory, with over a hundred western barbarians slain, Farrio and the others held a banquet in Heibei Village to celebrate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, over twenty nobles gathered on the village’s open ground, the air thick with the scent of beer and roasted meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas, however, could only lead his men in perimeter defense and night watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These bastards—if only some western barbarians would show up and kill Count Farrio!\" Migen gripped his torch, teeth clenched in fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially with the laughter and aroma of meat drifting from the village, and seeing his own lord, Migen grew even angrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Migen, the Storm Legion’s duty is night watch. If any barbarians appear and kill Count Farrio, we’ll bear all the blame!\" Gervas said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord, shall I find an opportunity to quietly…?\" Lei Meng didn’t finish, but made a throat-slitting gesture—his meaning was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Lei Meng, the knight captain, could barely hold back—clearly, the men were pushed to their limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas was moved by the loyalty of his men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lei Meng, assassinating a noble is a capital crime—we won’t risk it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, I know you’ve all been seething these past days.
