The Dragon Girl would never like the Lord.

"Catch some and take them back; we can have a feast tonight."

Yesterday, the knights caught some crabs and shellfish, which were quite delicious.

So Ron brought some large bags with him on this trip, filled them up for a seafood feast that night.

Of course, the knights could also have a taste; at least each of them would get a crab and some clam chowder.

"Yes, my lord!"

Upon hearing this, the knights took off running towards the beach, stuffing fist-sized crabs into their bags and grabbing any shellfish along the way.

Occasionally, they can find a few fish that have been stunned by the waves and washed ashore, but some of them are already rotten, so they only pick the ones that are still lively and jumping around.

The dead fish should be left for the seagulls or other animals that come out to hunt at night.

Ron did not join the crab-catching army, but instead went to the confluence of the rivers on the other side.

Closer to the surface, the water is murky; further away, it's hard to tell whether it's seawater or river water; and even further away, it's the deep blue sea.

Ron roughly estimated that at the narrowest point, it was 500 meters to the other side of the river, and closer to the sea, it was estimated to be several kilometers.

This is a good location; the water is relatively calm, making it suitable for building a port. It will be convenient for fishing, shipping, and traveling to other towns in the future.

However, this matter cannot be rushed. We should wait until the alien races around the Misty Forest are cleared before letting Ovir open up this road.

Go to Winterfell to recruit some boatmen, build a fleet, and next year we can arrange for people to go out to sea to fish.

With this addition of animal husbandry, there will be no shortage of meat supply, no matter how many troops are recruited in the future.

If we can recruit dwarven craftsmen next year, their skills will allow us to build a super warship that can carry thousands of people.

In this way, we can lead the army by waterway and strike deep into enemy territory before they can react.

perfect!

Thinking about this, Ron was filled with anticipation for the future.

"My lord, I feel a tightness in my chest, as if something is about to happen."

At first, it was just a little bit, but now the feeling is very strong, making Muses very uneasy.

"I'm worried that my mother and the others might be in danger."

She initially thought it was her imagination or that she was overthinking things, but the growing unease made her start to worry about her mother's safety.

"Everyone mount up and return to the territory."

Ron knew that there was often a strange sense between mothers and daughters; if one was in danger, the other might sense it.

Even with Philia as an insurance policy, he was still somewhat uneasy.

Don't let anything happen while you're not in the territory.

"Yes, Lord Lord."

The knights who were catching crabs and digging for clams stopped immediately, mounted their horses without asking why, and followed the man toward the territory.

On the way, Muses was very anxious, fearing that something might happen to his mother...

In the Swamp Territory, Ovira and Lucia are working diligently, and in just one morning, they have already completed half of the 500 acres of wheat fields.

It should be finished around 3 p.m.

While Fiona was arranging for the villagers to fish, she kept a close eye on the progress of the wheat field development.

Just then, a carriage sped by, followed by a hunting party.

Shemiel, pale-faced, stepped down from the carriage and went straight to Fiona.

"Lord, where is the lord? Bring him back quickly! Enemies, hundreds of enemies are heading this way."

In her haste, she forgot that she couldn't communicate with humans.

Although Fiona couldn't understand, she could still tell from the other person's anxious expression that something was wrong.

However, the other members of the hunting party were human. Barker, who had taken a magic potion more than half a month ago and become a super-fast archer, dismounted and came to Fiona with an anxious expression.

“Something’s happened. We were hunting when we discovered Wilson Gray’s forces. According to the information provided by Shemel through hand gestures, there are more than three hundred of them.”

Although they couldn't understand each other's language, they managed to develop some simple gestures through Ron's mediation.

They could communicate simply through gestures while hunting.

Of course, without Ron, who speaks two languages, communication by gestures would not be possible.

"Moreover, after discovering the enemy, Captain Yalong chose to stay put for some unknown reason, and we are not clear about her intentions."

Those who could only communicate in a simple manner did not understand why Philia stayed behind to do something in such a critical situation.

"Our master hasn't returned yet, but don't panic. Even without our lord, we can still protect this home."

Upon hearing the news, Fiona was initially flustered and felt somewhat lost.

But knowing that panicking would be useless, she understood that this was the territory that the man had poured countless efforts into, and she immediately cheered up.

"I will inform Yarman immediately and have him gather his knights to prepare for battle."

Fiona never thought of running away; all she could think about was protecting the territory she had worked so hard to build.

"Lend me your horse."

Fiona walked to a knight, grabbed the reins, and leaped onto the horse.

Once mounted on her horse, she seemed like a completely different person. Her identity changed from a maid to a knight on the battlefield, her eyes resolute and her posture upright.

The hunting party followed closely behind. Although they were afraid, they would never back down if the enemy wanted to attack their territory.

After spending time together, they all felt that Ron was an excellent lord.

As long as you follow him, you're sure to have a good life in the future.

Upon hearing this news, the farmers rushed home, grabbed their hoes and shovels, and prepared to go out and fight.

If they were in another territory, they would be afraid and hide at home.

But in the swamp territory, they experienced the young lord's benevolence.

They were full of hope for the future; only here could they live a prosperous life, and only here could they see hope in their bleak lives.

"Charge! Everyone, let's protect the territory!"

"This is our home, and no one is allowed to come in."

The farmers were full of morale and completely forgot that people could die on the battlefield. Regardless of age or gender, they all took their farm tools and joined the battle to defend the land.

After gathering all the knights, Fiona felt a lump in her throat and her eyes redden when she saw this; she was deeply moved.

This made her feel that everything her master had done for the territory was worthwhile.

“I, Fiona, a maidservant who has served the Leonard family for generations, will lead everyone to defend our territory with my brother, Yarman.”

Fiona, dressed in gleaming armor and wielding a holy sword, underwent a complete transformation in her aura.

She spoke with the fervor and determination of a seasoned female rider, her words resounding and her gaze unwavering.

Everyone present was moved by what they saw.

"Let's fight for our home, let's fight for Leonard!"

Chapter 118 Phyllia Attacks Valley Territory! Wilson Gray is shocked and chooses to call for help!

At this moment, the entire Swamp Territory is united, and everyone, led by Fiona, heads to the fortress to intercept the enemy.

Along this 30-kilometer-long road, as Ron requested, three checkpoints were set up, and at each checkpoint, a ten-meter-high fortress was built on the main road.

If an enemy invades, the fortress gates can be closed immediately, blocking the road, and archers can shoot arrows from above.

It would be difficult for the enemy to bypass it, because the area around it had long been hollowed out by O'Ville and turned into a bottomless swamp.

Let alone horses, even walking is impossible.

These three checkpoints can hold off the enemy for a long time. If there are enough fast archers, the enemy will be unable to make any progress and will be annihilated before they even reach their territory.

However, the first two checkpoints were still quite far away, so the people guarded the last checkpoint in the territory, while Fiona led a group of knights to the second checkpoint to guard it.

Just then, a carriage came speeding up and followed behind the procession.

The people in the carriage were none other than Ovelle and Lucia, who had received the message, and Shemel, who had delivered it.

At first, O'Ville and Lucia worked hard, but when they saw the people, they excitedly ran away.

It just felt baffling; why did everyone suddenly run away?

However, when she saw Shemel return, Ovier sensed something was wrong, because normally the hunting party would return to the territory in the afternoon.

Something must have happened to get you back so early.

Moreover, there was still no sign of Fria, which made Oviel's heart tremble. She immediately ran to Shemir and asked her what had happened.

It turns out that the enemy hadn't discovered the hunting party at the time. It was Philia who said there were too many enemies and sent Shemir back to report.

She herself stayed behind, waiting for an opportunity to act.
