More than an hour later, Seel and Philip led over a hundred young adults, armed with spears and hunting rifles, to provide support.
Before Hobert arrived, the residents of the town had little cohesion, so each time they drove away monsters, they could only ask the knights, who had a certain degree of organization, to take action.
Now it was different, thanks to Hobert's previous actions, as well as the beam of light tonight, and the couple who finally retreated to the lord's mansion, vividly recounting the events.
Under the call of Seel and Philip, as long as they were young adults who were not injured during the retreat, they were willing to support the lord.
Soon they saw the streets still flowing with blood, and some monsters that only had their last breath left.
Seel led the people at the front, using spears to stab the two monsters that were not completely dead, and at the same time, everyone was surprised by the number of monsters killed.
Generally speaking, if four or five monsters were killed, the monsters would retreat back to Full Moon Lake.
But according to the corpses they saw, more than a dozen monsters had died at the hands of the lord.
At this time, someone found a cloak on the ground: "This is the Lord's cloak, could it be that he..."
Every time the monsters attacked, someone was swallowed by the monsters, and the bodies could not be found, only some of their bloody clothes could be found.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Seel said: "Maybe the blood on the cloak made the Lord take it off.
"I remember when we were in the church on the top of the mountain, the Lord also threw away the bloody cloak."
Although he said so, he was actually not sure in his heart.
These monsters are different from the bandits on the top of the mountain. If you get bitten, you will be disabled even if you don't die.
Even the knights have to use traps and the monsters' most hated flames to drive them away. If they fight head-on, the knights can only deal with one monster alone.
"There are more monster corpses there!"
After someone discovered a new corpse, Seel and Philip breathed a sigh of relief, followed the corpse and chased out of the town.
The number of monster corpses surprised everyone again, and someone kept counting: "Thirty-eight! The Lord has killed thirty-eight monsters!"
This was too incredible. Everyone thought that there would be a fierce battle tonight, and everyone would eventually overcome the monster's offensive under the Lord's wise command.
But now the most dangerous thing everyone is doing is to be careful to avoid being splashed by the blood spurting out during the finishing touches.
The remaining thing is to count the corpses.
Following the corpses left on the ground, everyone chased to the reed marshes that they usually tried to avoid.
This used to be fertile land, but after there were monsters in the lake, people did not dare to cultivate by the lake, and gradually the good fields became reed marshes.
This time, relying on the large number of people, everyone dared to chase into the reed marshes.
In the reed marshes, another battlefield where fierce battles had taken place was found. A dozen monster corpses were found around it, as well as the Lord's coat that had been soaked in blood.
And a huge hole was seen in the coat. People who had seen people bitten by monsters immediately recognized that it was a trace bitten by a monster.
Seel and Philip looked at each other. If they were right, the monster ambushed the Lord here, and a monster bit the Lord between the chest and abdomen.
The two felt heavy in their hearts. Could it be that the Lord was really bitten to death by the monster and eaten?
Fortunately, more monster corpses were found ahead.
However, the monster corpses in the reed marshes were not as dense as the monster corpses outside the town. There was a corpse every other distance, and without exception, they were all killed from behind.
Hula hula~
Seel led the people at the front to separate the reeds, while closely watching the surroundings, for fear of a monster suddenly rushing out.
It was not until they walked to the lake that they saw a figure sitting on the stone by the water.
At this time, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the bright moonlight returned to the earth.
Everyone quickly recognized that it was the Lord.
The Lord carried a long sword on his shoulder, his upper body clothes were torn open, revealing his chest, and he was staring at the lake in a daze.
Not far from the stone, there was also a smaller monster.
The monster's hind limbs were very long. If it didn't have a long tail, it would look more like a person with scales and nothing on.
"You are here!" Hobert said: "This reed marsh should also be drawn into the lord's mansion. This will be the lord's reserved land, and I will hire people to plant some things I need."
Everyone recovered from the shock, not surprised that the Lord included the reed marsh into the lord's mansion, but surprised that there were no wounds in the Lord's torn clothes.
Seeing Hobert safe and sound, Seel was completely relieved. He had just tasted the taste of power, but he didn't want to lose it so quickly.
Only Seel and Philip knew some of the Lord's temperament, and the others stood aside very surprised, not even daring to breathe.
Seel curiously pointed to the corpse next to the stone and asked: "Lord, is this also a monster?"
"This is the leader of the monsters!" Hobert said: "The monsters that attacked the town this time all listened to his command. His wisdom is quite high. He even designed an ambush and arranged a 'daredevil' to bite me to death.
"Of course, it may also be that other monsters can execute his orders without discount. He is more difficult to kill. In fact, his combat power is average."
Hobert glanced at Full Moon Lake again: "There seem to be one or two more monsters with more human-like appearances in the lake, but it was too dark just now and I didn't chase after them."
After explaining a few words, Hobert said in a commanding tone: "Gather all the monster corpses together, and don't burn them for the time being. I have some other uses for them."
Beyonder materials had condensed on the monster leader's body. Hobert believed that ordinary monster corpses might also have extraordinary effects in some parts, so he asked them to keep the corpses.
While talking, Hobert jumped off the stone, carried his sword and walked back: "You can go home. In the past one or two months, the monsters in the lake will not dare to attack the town again!"
After entering the reed marsh, Hobert saw that everyone was still in shock and did not immediately follow.
So he simply used "Travel" to return to the lord's mansion, his own yard.
Fors was still waiting in the study. Seeing Hobert return safely, she went back to rest with peace of mind.
But before leaving, she glanced at Hobert's chest and left with a slightly red face.
Hobert returned to his room, changed his clothes, took a bath and fell into a deep sleep.
At about four o'clock in the morning, Hobert suddenly opened his eyes. He planned to raid the "Cold Night Squad" tonight. This was a decision he made when he saw the "Disciplinary Knight" and others leave.
Hobert didn't know if this was considered an overnight feud? They fought last night, and now it is early the next morning.
In any case, Hobert felt that doing so was quite exciting.
As for how to find the "Cold Night Squad", Hobert had already thought about it. He held his two-handed sword and then used the ability of the "Faceless Necklace": "The current whereabouts of the person who was cut by it."
