Start as Inherited Baroness

After the two chatted for a while, they went into the big tent and sat down.

Simon immediately explained his purpose: "Lord Viscount, I want to return to the Valorous Territory through here. I wonder what the current war situation is like. Can I pass?"

Upon hearing this, Balik smiled and said: "The main force of the goatmen has basically been driven to the north of the hills, and the gentle terrain in the south is safer.

It's not a big problem if you follow the road used by merchants in the past.

You see, only this small area of ​​hills in the south is dangerous, and some Goatmen soldiers are still resisting. All other areas have been cleared...

If you travel faster, you can leave the Aries Hills area in less than two days. "

He stood up and pointed at the map, indicating to Simon, and roughly marked the current front range.

After Simon saw it, he thought about it in his mind and thought it was okay and the risk was not great.

Even if he encounters goatmen, he is by no means their main force. With his current strength, he can completely handle them.

He chatted with Balik for a while longer, then stood up and left.

Overall, this meeting was relatively harmonious. The two parties recognized each other and initially made friends.

Simon led the Guards soldiers out of the military camp, but did not return to his camp immediately.

He ordered: "The cavalrymen all come with me to explore the actual situation of this road. The others will wait here first."

"Yes!" Mailan responded, and then more than thirty cavalrymen began to prepare and fed their horses some nutritious food.

After a while, Simon led the team and set off, gradually moving away along the valley road.

After running slowly for several hours, except for two military camp posts on the road, no trace of the Goatman was found.

At this time, they were traveling lightly and had already covered half of the journey. It seemed that what Commander Balik said was true.

Simon and his party immediately turned their horses around, speeded up slightly, and returned to the military camp of the Protector Corps.

It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was still bright.

He and the cavalry dismounted one after another. After this trip, the horses were very tired, their bodies were shiny, and they were sweating a lot.

"It's not a big problem. Let's rest today, cook dinner early tomorrow morning, and quickly pass through the Aries Hills area." Simon ordered.

"Yes! Sir!" Mailan and others responded and immediately went to pass on the news.

Not long after, the freedmen began to set up camp, and the levy of militia troops also went out to collect firewood.

But this place had long been completely covered by the Protector Army, and there wasn't even a dry blade of grass. They had no choice but to move a few miles further south.

There are several rolling hills here with many shrubs and pine trees growing on them, which can provide enough firewood.

In addition, several streams and springs were discovered, which barely provided drinking water.

Everyone was busy and busy, and the sky was getting dark before they knew it.

Piles of bonfires were raised in the camp, and the aroma of wheat overflowed.

Not far to the north is the military camp. The surrounding wild animals and other dangers have been almost eliminated. It is safer than anywhere before.

However, Simon and the others did not relax their night patrols. After all, vampires with intelligence comparable to humans were at work, and they could not be careless.

The night passed without incident, and before dawn the next day, the freedmen were urged to light a fire and cook.

I already collected enough firewood yesterday, so I don’t need to waste time looking for it anymore.

When a hint of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, everyone was full and ready to go.

Simon also got up very early, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. After hastily finishing his breakfast, he mounted his horse and led the way ahead with the soldiers.

A day later in the blink of an eye.

They have already penetrated deep into the Aries Hills area and will almost be able to walk out tomorrow afternoon.

But spending a night here is unavoidable.

It was not yet evening, and Simon had chosen a camp on higher ground, where the view was wide and there was no shortage of water.

While the free people were busy setting up tents, a group of goatmen suddenly ran down the hillside a little further to the southwest.

Most of them were holding spears or swords, and some even had blood stains on their bodies. They were walking in a hurry, panicking, and looking like they were running for their lives.

Sarit soon discovered these goat men and immediately shouted: "Line up! Meet the enemy!"

The levied militiamen moved quickly, but it was in a mess, and it was obvious at first glance that they were a ragtag group of people.

However, a hundred soldiers wearing light armor suits did not let go of their chains. They quickly formed a square formation outside the camp and raised their spears.

At the same time, the Serenu soldiers on Simon's side also rushed over.

The goat people's eyesight was average, so they didn't notice them at first. They didn't notice them until they were completely downhill and after running dozens of steps.

They all hesitated, and some even started to tremble, obviously frightened.

After all, the people on Simon's side can't be seen at a glance, which is quite shocking.

"Don't move! Guards, follow me!"

Simon observed for a while and found that these goatmen were indeed defeated soldiers and suffered from severe physical exhaustion.

Isn't this a good time to gain experience?

"Yes!" Mailan and others shouted and rushed over together.

Seeing this, the goat people ran back, but soon retreated.

It seemed as if something was chasing them in the distance, reminding them of their memories and not daring to run back to the hills.

It didn't take long before the soldiers of the Guards fought against the goatmen. They were indeed pitifully weak, on par with the kobolds.

The fact that dozens of them were cut down as soon as they met may also be related to their severe physical exertion. Under normal conditions, they may not be so unbearable.

"Fight! Don't run! Form a spear formation quickly!"

There are leaders among the goatmen, wearing iron armor and a big-horned goat head, which is really ferocious.

To be honest, if they stand still and stare at people coldly, they are more intimidating.

Once they start running, their panicked appearance is no longer scary.

Some goatmen in the back began to move together and line up with spears.

At this time, Simon was killing vigorously. He held a spear and stabbed left and right. Every time he stabbed, there would be goatmen wailing and falling to the ground.

The killing efficiency of heavy infantry was higher. Every swing of the two-handed sword would kill four or five enemies.

Not to mention those holding battle axes and war hammers. The fight was extremely bloody, and the goatmen could not find a good corpse at all.

"Ah! Mom! Save me!"

The guards rushed up for a few minutes and brutally killed hundreds of goatmen.

Such a tragic scene directly scared the remaining enemies. They abandoned their weapons and fled towards the hillside.

I can't care about it.

However, there are exceptions. Behind the leader of the goat people, there are still hundreds of soldiers who stabilize the front line.

All of them raised their spears and responded calmly.

After a while, the other goat people ran away, and this team that seemed to be more capable of fighting remained in place.

Sarit also led the conscripted militia and infantry and other troops to slowly surround them.

The goat people soldiers immediately became a little commotion when they saw this, and many of them glanced at the leader, as if they were thinking of retreating.
