Reborn as a werewolf ancestor

The early morning sun shines through the trees and onto the nine people walking in a hurry.

Since it had just rained a little, there was still a little rain and dew on the branches and leaves.

As several people swayed as they passed by, raindrops fell into the soil.

The intricate and narrow paths in the woods caused some trouble for several people.

Sometimes they had to dismount and lead the horse forward with the reins.

Two days of eating and sleeping in the open made them lose weight visibly.

Not only the food issue, but also the water source is an issue they have to consider. Sometimes they can walk all day without getting a drop of water.

Fortunately, after Kane and others overcame various difficulties, they finally arrived near the Regit Territory.

Walking out of the woods, you can already vaguely see Maike Village in the distance.

"We're finally here." Sitz, who looked a little tired, sighed.

"Yes." Catherine agreed from the side.

Kane at the front encouraged a few people: "Let's go, it's the last bit of the journey."

"Yes, sir."

"drive!"

A group of nine people slapped the reins and ran towards the direction of Maike Village.

........

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the gate of Maike Village.

The villagers who were about to go to work in the wheat field looked at a few people in surprise. Just when he wanted to inform the village chief, Kane on the side spoke.

"It's me, Kane Gerrard."

Due to two days of constant traveling, the faces of these people were so dusty that the villagers could not even recognize their lords.

"Lord Kane." Upon hearing this, the villager quickly saluted him.

The villagers did not dare to ask further questions as to why the lord, who was fine a few days ago, now looks like this.

In the doubtful eyes of many villagers, several people walked through Maiko Village and walked to the Eagle Fort.

The soldiers guarding the gate dutifully asked the identities of several people. When they learned that it was Kane and his party, they hurriedly opened the gate.

After hearing the news, the butlers Jace and Marcus also came to the city gate to welcome Kane and others back.

I saw that the carriage that I had left had long since disappeared, and there was even a white-haired stranger in the team.

Marcus sensed something amiss, but he did not speak, but waited for Kane's next instruction.

Kane took the towel from the butler Jace, wiped the stains off his face, and then said to several people: "Come to the study with me."

Immediately, several people followed Kane to the study. Marcus keenly noticed that the gray-haired old man also walked in.

Wait until Jace closes the door tightly.

Kane sighed and said: "The royal capital has fallen."

"What!?" Marcus said in surprise.

Looking at the panicked Marcus and the calm Jace, Kane continued: "I'm afraid that while I'm on my way back, the dark elves have already invaded the northern city-state."

Marcus asked: "Sir, do you mean the dark elves?"

"Yes, these are the dark elves, they are trying to occupy and control the human kingdom."

"Why is it so sudden?" Marcus was a little confused.

Kane said: "It didn't happen suddenly. All the actions of the other party were carried out in a planned manner, including inducing the king to hold a celebration or attacking the orcs."

"This time, the celebration has basically wiped out all the nobles in the country. Even if the remaining few marquis are still there, I'm afraid they won't be able to compete with the opponent in terms of combat power."

Marcus asked: "Sir, what about His Majesty the King..."

"Hey...I have already slept together with many nobles."

Marcus couldn't believe that such a big event happened in the human kingdom in just a few days.

It can be said that the current King Dilan has ceased to exist in name only. Not only King Andnar Weiss, but also the Dukes of the two royal families and several powerful men of the fifth level were all buried here.

As for whether there will be survivors in the royal family, it depends on the thoughts of the dark elf Albercia. If she wants to support a vassal or a puppet king, she will definitely choose an obedient royal family from among them.

Catherine said worriedly: "My lord, what should we do?"

Kane said: "Just wait and see. In the face of the powerful power of the dark elves, I, a mere baron, cannot make any splash. First, observe the opponent's actions and the attitude of the other nobles in the country."

"In addition, we must immediately start militia training in Maiko Village, and at the same time strengthen patrol forces inside and outside the territory. Maybe within a month, news about the kingdom will leak to other ethnic groups."

"At that time, we will not only face the dark elves, but also many races who want to take a share of the pie."

Listening to Kane's words, everyone felt that a storm was coming. If this was true, the Orc Empire closest to the territory would be the first to attack them.

Catherine, Sitz, and Marcus all nodded to express their understanding.

"Oh, by the way, Marcus, Jace, let me introduce to you, this is the mage Adeline."

At the same time, Kane said to Adeline: "Sir, these two are my closest subordinates and will not expose your secrets."

Adeline nodded. This was Kane asking her to show her true colors in front of these two people in order to gain everyone's trust.

Immediately, she moved her hand to her face, and with a flash of white light, Adeline returned to her original elf appearance.

"Are you an elf?" Marcus asked in disbelief.

Because the elves rarely appear on this continent, they all live deep in their forest kingdom.

This is the first time Marcus has seen real elves except in books. Sure enough, they are just as beautiful, noble, and holy as described in the books.

"That's right." Adeline replied coldly.

"As for the reason why I follow your Lord Baron, I can go to him and ask him myself."

After saying that, Adeline used magic again, and her face turned into that of an old human being.

Seeing that Marcus and Jess have already understood the situation, they also know Adeline’s true identity.

Kane then said: "Okay, let's all disperse. Jess, go and arrange your room for Sir Adeline."

"Yes, sir."

"Catherine, Sitz, go and have a good rest. You must be very tired after such a long journey."

"Thank you, sir."

As Kane's order was given, everyone dispersed, leaving him alone in the study.

Although his body was already a little tired, Kane still managed to open the map on the table.

This is a map that symbolizes the territory of the human kingdom. Kane looks to the north and the royal capital in the center.

He estimates that most of the cities there have already fallen. A city-state that has lost its lord will have a much lower resistance just like it has no leader.

In the south, east and west of the map, there are still a few marquises. If they want to form an army against the dark elves, they will be the main force.
