The Stoneclaw Territory was one of the four territories in the Stormwind Forest.
On the surface, it was on par with the Shenwei Territory, but in reality, it was ranked at the bottom of the four territories and had the fewest subordinate territories.
At this moment, Gilbert, the lord of the Stoneclaw territory, was drinking fruit wine and enjoying the massage of his maidservant. He was squinting his eyes comfortably and humming a tune.
Not long ago, he had sent troops to Shenwei's territory to fight for resources. Although he was the weakest, he had specially instructed the commander to send a small team to sneak into the city and seize the resources in the three-way chaotic battle.
If he didn't guess wrong, the matter should have been settled by now. He just had to wait for good news.
"My lord! My lord!"
The messenger's anxious voice came from outside the door.
Gilbert opened his eyes and saw the messenger stumbling into the room. His expression was dissatisfied, but he still suppressed his temper and snorted."What's so urgent?"
"Something bad has happened! We've lost contact with the frontline! No matter how hard he tried to use the communication crystal, he couldn't get a response!”said the messenger, looking terrified.
" Huh?!" Gilbert suddenly stood up, pushed the maid away, and strode to the messenger. He grabbed his collar and glared at him."What did you say? Why couldn't they contact the frontline? What was Bradley doing? Who was the adjutant? Why can't I contact any of them?"
The messenger was so frightened that his face turned pale. He stammered,"I…I don't know! My lord, please calm down!"
"Calm down! How do you expect me to appease my anger! You led 50,000 troops over, but the good news hasn't arrived yet. Just because you said you couldn't contact them, you couldn't. Ah?" Gilbert roared.
"Lead…"
"Cut the crap! Where were the spies planted in Shenwei's territory? Contact the scout and get him to report the situation!”
" My lord…the scouts…we can't contact the scouts either…" The messenger's voice grew softer and softer as he spoke.
" What?!" Gilbert's heart was burning with rage.
The messenger didn't dare to speak, and his entire body was trembling in fear.
Gilbert kicked him to the ground and cursed,"Trash, all of you are trash!"
Then, he seemed to have come to a realization, but he became even more flustered and exasperated."Damn it! What a bullsh * t opportunity! This was clearly a trap that was deliberately set up to lure me to send 50,000 troops over to kill them! F * ck Pei Gaoyun. If I have the chance, I will skin him alive!”
"Hu…Hu…"
Gilbert vented his anger wantonly in the room.
He was not a good-tempered person, not to mention the feeling of being schemed against.
After a while, the anger in his heart gradually subsided, replaced by heartache.
In an instant, they had wasted nearly half of the territory's military strength!
Although the 50,000-strong army was mainly made up of tier 6 soldiers, this was not a small number. It was equivalent to losing tens of millions of gold coins in an instant!
Losing the gold coins was not a big deal, but what he was most afraid of was being taken advantage of at this critical moment!
That would be the end!
Just as this thought popped up in his mind, a piercing scream suddenly came from outside the window.
"F * ck, what are you arguing about!" Gilbert, who was still feeling annoyed, cursed under his breath and quickly walked to the window.
When he focused his gaze, his gaze involuntarily fell on the huge figure diving down from the sky above the territory. He was instantly scared silly.
Dragon?
How could there be a dragon!
"Roar!"
The roar shook the clouds, and the dragon's might swept in all directions.
Gilbert, who was standing by the window, felt a strong gust of wind blowing over, accompanied by a strong pressure. He could not help but feel fear in his heart, and he could not even breathe.
Immediately after, the giant dragon that dived into the territory had already opened its bloody mouth, and dark blue flames swept out.
Their target was the barracks!
Only now did Gilbert finally come back to his senses. He was shocked and furious.
"Damn it, why are you so unlucky? A giant dragon suddenly came to my territory! Men, pass down my order. Gather all the troops and kill this dragon at all costs!”
However, no one responded.
Gilbert frowned and turned around. Just as he was about to flare up, he suddenly froze.
In front of him was a man and a woman.
The messenger was already lying in a pool of blood.
Looking at the unfamiliar face in front of him, Gilbert's heart skipped a beat. His anger dissipated, and in its place was an extremely strong sense of danger that he had never felt before.
"Who are you?" Gilbert asked in a low voice. At the same time, he approached the window sill and prepared to escape." Where are my guards?”
Helena didn't say anything. She silently tossed a crimson head behind her.
That was Gilbert's rank 9 commander level guard, the Holy Church Assassin.
Seeing this, Gilbert's pupils suddenly contracted, and fear involuntarily appeared on his face.
That was his guard, a level 9 commander-level soldier. How could he die so quietly?
Gilbert's gaze was very complicated. Shock, fear, despair, unwillingness…
He gulped, as if he already knew what would happen to him next, but he still asked with a glimmer of hope,"What are you doing?"
What responded to him was a spear condensed from flames.
At this moment, Gilbert suddenly jumped out of the window.
However, he was still too slow. The flame spear pierced through his throat first and took his life on the spot!
Another lord died.
The situation in the Stormwind Forest had not changed for more than ten years, but in just one day, two lords had died in succession!
This was unbelievable!
Gilbert's corpse still had a look of shock on its face, as if it was saying the same thing.
"Tell Yingying to stop playing. The remaining tens of thousands of troops in this territory can fend for themselves.”Li Yi paused for a moment before continuing," Also, get someone to take inventory of the resources in this territory. Take away those that can be taken away, and destroy those that can't be taken away.”
"Yes, sir!" Helena nodded and ordered the dark dragon-men guarding the door to pass on the order.
Li Yi slowly walked to the window and looked down at the territory that had fallen into chaos from the towering City Lord's Mansion.
Consecutively conquering two large territories in a day was indeed an impressive achievement worthy of bragging about.
However, this would undoubtedly push him to the tip of the iceberg and become the target of everyone.
After all, working together to exclude outsiders had always been the habit of the " locals ". At the same time, it was also a good way to ensure their own safety.
It wouldn't be long before the remaining two territories would know of his existence and discuss cooperation. They would also gather all the territories under them and join forces to fight him.
At that time, Li Yi would have no chance of winning against the combined attack of so many territories.
Therefore, Li Yi naturally couldn't sit still and wait for death.
He wanted to take the initiative to attack!
