Start as Inherited Baroness

Just when Aire had finished making arrangements, Simon also rushed over with his personal soldiers.

He was still somewhat shocked. He didn't know where the bandit group came from. They dared to rob at night and make such a big noise.

This showed that they at least had good nutrition supplements on weekdays and did not have serious night blindness.

Even in the army of the nobles, only the elite with balanced meals could do this.

This was also the reason why he was shocked when he heard that there were bandits coming to rob.

Those who dared to act at night were ruthless people, not to mention that this was in the uninhabited West Saidi. Not long ago, this place was the world of orcs and various strange beasts.

Under Simon's command, only the personal guards were not troubled by night blindness. After all, they were at least of the physique of medium-level warriors.

The foot soldiers were affected a little, but it was not serious. They were all at the level of elementary warriors.

The entry-level warriors were not very good. Compared with ordinary people, their physique had no obvious advantages.

Some people who are born with strong physiques will naturally have the strength equivalent to entry-level warriors or primary warriors after they grow up.

Such people usually have high potential, and after they become golden warriors, they are much stronger than those of the same level.

In other words, in a night battle, all members must be at least primary warriors, and it is usually safer to have medium-level warriors or above.

However, there are exceptions to everything. If the territory is rich in food such as carrots, ordinary free people will not have night blindness if they just eat them casually.

"Aile! What's the situation?" Simon asked.

"My lord, it's too dark outside, and I can't see the number of enemies clearly, but there are shouts all around. It is estimated that there are at least hundreds of people."

He answered with a serious face.

"What!? No way, is it a mercenary group supported by the nobles?"

Simon felt like falling into an ice cave when he heard this, thinking that those who killed Baron Kenler were calling people to take revenge.

"Defend the camp first!" he ordered.

"Yes!" Ai Lei responded loudly, and then continued to arrange defenses.

Afterwards, Simon called all the heavy infantry, heavy cavalry, and light cavalry soldiers in the guard to his side.

"Mylan, tell someone to feed the horses, feed more black beans."

Then, Simon ordered again, he was already mentally prepared to escape.

Those infantry soldiers were probably not taken care of, and the guards, the elite, should break out as much as possible.

"Attack! Kill! Bang! Bang!"

At this time, the shouting and killing outside was more chaotic, but no one hit the door or climbed the outer wall.

"The first row here raises shields! The second row holds spears! You guard the south gate..." Ai Lei's roar spread throughout the camp.

Simon held the hilt tightly in his hand and observed the surroundings, not knowing which direction the enemy would attack from.

He originally wanted to go to the watchtower to cast a lighting spell to see the situation outside.

But after hesitating for a moment, he gave up.

That kind of behavior would undoubtedly attract a wave of concentrated fire attacks. He didn't feel itchy, nor did he want to become a hedgehog.

Time passed by one minute after another, one minute... two minutes... five minutes... ten minutes...

The camp was silent, all the soldiers were ready to fight, and the villagers were shivering in the wooden houses.

However, no one came to attack, and even the shouting and clamoring outside disappeared.

"What the hell?" Simon was confused at this time.

"Sir, something is wrong. There is no enemy approaching the outer wall, and there is no footsteps at all." Ai Lei also frowned.

"Come on, some shield holders, I'll go up to the watchtower to see." Simon frowned.

"Sir, it's too dangerous, why don't we wait until dawn." Mai Lan advised.

"Okay." Simon thought about it and decided to listen to the advice, or play it safe.

Not long after, there was another clamor outside: "Kill! Open the door quickly! Otherwise, those who rush in with eggs will be killed! Bang, bang, bang! Bang..."

The camp still remained unchanged and waited for them to attack.

But not long after, there was no movement outside.

"What do you mean? Don't want us to sleep? Want to wear us out?

No, I still have to go up and take a look..."

Simon was puzzled. What kind of fighting method is this? It's neither fish nor fowl. He didn't fight or retreat.

Not long after, he climbed up the wooden watchtower under the protection of Mailan, Ai Lei and others.

Several people holding large shields around him protected him tightly, and Simon himself also raised a small round shield to cover his face.

He first looked out and saw that it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything clearly, and then he waited patiently.

After a while, the outside was noisy again, not far away, with a very high egg content.

Simon immediately cast a spell, rubbing out a lighting spell, then shrunk his body into the shield, raised his palm above his head, and shook it irregularly.

This spell is relatively basic, and can only use the palm as a light source.

If it is a light spell, it can produce a light ball the size of an egg, which can float around or be pushed dozens of meters away, which is much more useful.

The light source on the palm immediately illuminated the area of ​​dozens of feet in radius, and the shouting and killing in this direction came to an abrupt end.

"Huh!?? What the hell!"

About fifty or sixty meters away, a strange-looking thing was shouting with its mouth wide open like a toad.

When this thing saw the strong light, it immediately jumped back and soon merged into the darkness again.

This thing has a big head, shaped like a toad, and a body like a hippopotamus, about two or three meters tall. When it moves, it reminds people of a flexible fat man.

"Sir! There is... there is a monster!" Ai Lei said in surprise.

"Could it be that the dead noises were caused by this thing? The ones in other directions are also this thing?" Mai Lan whispered.

"Go to the watchtower in the north and call Fike over. He is old and may recognize this thing."

Simon pondered for a moment and decided.

"Yes!" Everyone responded and climbed down. After a while, they called the village chief Fike over.

"It may be a group of monsters surrounding the camp. Do you recognize them? About two or three meters tall..."

Simon briefly described the appearance of the monster.

"Sir Baron, I'm not sure. It seems... it seems to be a voice-changing beast. It would be nice if I could take a look.

I saw this thing once more than 20 years ago. It is a bit like what you described..." Fike said hesitantly.

"Okay, you come with me to the watchtower to have a look." Simon said immediately.

Soon, everyone climbed up to the watchtower in the north, and Simon used the lighting technique as usual.

A monster was illuminated 70 or 80 meters away and immediately jumped into the dark night.

"Sir! It's the voice-changing beast! This thing eats people and also devours souls. Back then, our Daoxiang Village..."

Fick's eyes widened and he said excitedly.

"What are its weaknesses?" Simon asked immediately after hearing the story.

"This... I don't know. The lord hired the Blade Society to kill it. I heard it was very valuable.

By the way, the voice-changing beast lives in groups, and there are always more than two of them at a time. They are very strong and will harass for several days in a row before..."

Fick recalled and said.
