Start as Inherited Baroness

After several days, the goatmen hid on the steep hills without making any movement.

Occasionally, a few scouts among the goatmen would look from afar and then quickly run back to the mountains.

In the central army tent, Simon was discussing matters with Airey and others.

"My Lord, the goatmen are now hiding and they dare not even make a single attempt." Kairaf said.

"We have surrounded and blocked the northeast area of ​​the white goat hills, but the stalemate may not be a long-term solution." Airey also said.

"Don't worry, besiege them for a while, let the griffin knights scout, and then make plans." Simon decided after hearing this.

"Yes!" The two immediately accepted the order, and then talked about their respective military camp arrangements for a while, and then left to do it.

"Call three griffin knights, let them bring kerosene cans, and follow me to explore the goatmen's settlement."

Simon immediately ordered.

"Yes! My Lord!" Gallente, who was guarding outside the tent, responded and left.

Not long after, three griffin knights came together, half-knelt and saluted, saying: "Greetings, Lord Earl!"

They were all bronze knights, all in their twenties, selected from the diehards in the panel team column.

"Each of you bring twenty kerosene cans, follow me, and scout the movements of the goat people.

If you find a suspected granary or storage location, drop the kerosene cans." Simon ordered.

"Yes!" The three responded.

Afterwards, Simon and the others walked out of the tent. At this time, Gallente had brought the lame griffin Berit.

He now has four griffins, three of which were captured from Princess Adela.

Although these three griffins are healthy and strong, Simon still likes lame Berit the most.

After a while, the four griffins lifted them into the air and flew northeast.

After about half an hour, they arrived above the goat people's settlement area.

Soon, it was discovered that the tops of several steep hills were relatively flat, about several miles square, with many triangular wooden houses built on them.

At this time, some goatmen were coming and going among them, and there were even farmlands of about a hundred acres.

"Oh, their level of civilization is higher than that of dog-headed people and jackals, but they don't seem to know how to smelt iron. Eh, are they still in the exploratory stage..."

Simon saw a furnace-like facility, with several strong goatmen hammering something, but it was very crude.

After flying a few circles, some sharp-eyed goatmen also discovered their traces, which immediately caused a commotion.

However, there were also bold and curious goatmen who looked up at Simon and others.

He grinned, and then took out an alchemical bomb from the storage pen, which was about the size of a melon grenade.

As soon as he stretched out his finger, a pinch of flame suddenly appeared on it, and then he lit the bomb fuse and threw it down.

Looking at the landing point, it was the crude furnace workshop.

After a while, there was a muffled rumble that went straight into the sky, and several goatmen who were processing iron ore were blown to pieces.

The triangular wooden house and the stove were blown away.

Seeing this, the other three knights also took out the kerosene cans from the sacks on the back of the griffin, lit them and threw them down.

In a blink of an eye, all the kerosene cans were thrown away, and the goatmen’s settlement area also caught fire, and all kinds of wooden houses and buildings were burned down.

There were also goatmen who were burned to death, but not many, and most of them fled along the steep hills.

This is just one of their larger settlements. From aerial reconnaissance, there are still seven places like this in this area.

In addition, some goatmen live in some stone caves between the cliffs, scattered and unorganized.

More than half an hour later, Simon led the three griffin knights back to the camp, took the kerosene cans and set off again.

This time, they flew over the largest goatman settlement, lit the kerosene cans, and threw them into the triangular wooden house on the hill.

Piles of flames rose up, accompanied by the unique wailing of the goatmen.

There was a spring on the top of the hill, so the goatmen did not all flee, but many soldiers in leather armor hurried to fetch water to put out the fire.

Looking at the direction of the flow of people, most of them went to the largest wooden house.

It seemed to be full of flammable materials, and the fire was more than ten meters high.

"Sir, it seems that our barley was robbed." A griffin knight shouted a few dozen meters away.

Simon did not speak, but he guessed so in his heart.

Because many goatmen were braving the fire and rushed into the wooden house frantically to rescue supplies, barley was scattered all over the ground.

"Disperse and throw! Burn down their wooden houses!" Simon shouted after a while.

"Yes!" The knights took the order after hearing the voice, and then dispersed, and cans of burning kerosene were thrown down.

Soon, sixty or seventy cans of kerosene were thrown away. When preparing to retreat, Simon also took out a melon-sized alchemical bomb from the storage bar and threw it down.

The landing point seemed to be a residential area, but there was a slightly special building, which seemed to be an institution with some legend.

However, just as the alchemical bomb was about to fall on the roof, a layer of light blue shield suddenly emerged, which ejected it more than ten meters and exploded in mid-air.

"Wow! There are two brushes!" Simon said in his heart with some surprise.

Then he looked at a magic ring collected in the storage bar, which was seized from a leader of the goat people before.

This magic ring can open a light blue shield, which is very similar to the scene just now.

"Could it be that the goatmen are also good at guarding magic?"

Simon thought to himself. There was no such news before.

"Retreat!" He gestured to the other three griffin knights, and then they flew away and returned to the camp.

They rested for a while, fed the griffins some pork and water, and took off again with the kerosene can.

In this way, by dusk, they visited the seven largest settlements of the goatmen several times.

These places were all turned into a sea of ​​fire.

It must be said that the air force is still useful. Such a sharp result was achieved without bloodshed.

Simon returned to the central army tent and ordered Gallente beside him: "Notify the legion commanders Aire and Kailaf to be careful.

The goatmen's camp was burned by me to prevent these orcs from jumping off the wall."

"Yes! My lord!" Gallente immediately arranged for the herald to notify the military camps everywhere and convey the order.

Gradually, the sky darkened, and the last ray of sunset disappeared at the end of the earth.

"Woo~"

A wolf howled in the distance, mournful and desolate, as if it was worried about its livelihood.

Simon had a delicious meal, and he and the other women of Anxiang ate half a yellow sheep.

At this moment, Gallente's voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "Sir, the octopus spider has a letter from the raven."

"Hmm?" Simon frowned slightly when he heard it. This way of conveying information means that the message is urgent.

The women of Anxiang also stood up, bowed, cast magic, and hid in the shadows in the corner.

"Bring it here!" Simon said in a deep voice.
