Start as Inherited Baroness

"Yes!" Gallente responded and pushed the door open.

Behind him was a member of the Eight-Clawed Spider named Miliya, who was the supervisor responsible for sending and receiving intelligence and was responsible for internal affairs in this area.

"Master, the raven has sent a message here."

It can be seen from her title that this woman was also born as a slave.

The mage Delly, who was standing next to Simon, immediately walked over. After verifying that it was correct, she took the letter and handed it to Simon.

He immediately opened the parchment letter and read it carefully, feeling calmed down.

The news conveyed in this letter is indeed a big deal, but it won't reach his side for a while.

Six days ago, the orcs in the northern wasteland launched a large-scale attack southward, but were blocked by a Northern Cold fortress owned by Marquis Val.

At this time, the two races were fighting fiercely, and there was no news about the latest battle situation.

“Let’s give Marquis Val a headache in advance, it will just weaken his strength.

But if they really can't stand it anymore, they have to provide some support..." Simon thought to himself.

After all, racial wars are different from internal fighting. At this time, it is best to support the border forces as much as possible, otherwise the fight will end in letting the alien race pick the peaches.

Simon didn't think too much and went to bed to rest as the night got late.

The next day, he once again led three gryphon knights to launch an air attack on the goat people.

Today's fire oil cans are not valuable items.

The kerosene inside is not refined from animal or vegetable oil, but kerosene, which is actually petroleum. It was discovered in Noma Territory a while ago.

There are several open-air asphalt swamps there, and oil can be easily extracted using wooden barrels, which are very useful for lighting fires.

This is indeed a very precious resource, but with the technology of the current era, it cannot be truly utilized.

Time passed quietly, and the day came to dusk again.

Simon took people on seven or eight flights and burned the Goatman settlement like black coals.

However, the damage caused to the goatmen was limited. Most of them fled the settlements on the hills and scattered into the ditches.

"Tomorrow let Airey send a battalion of soldiers into the mountains to eliminate the goat men and prepare some tools for climbing the hills. But in the early stage, we will just sweep through the valleys.

We will then respond based on the actual situation. I will ask the Griffin Knights to cooperate in the battle. "

Simon returned to the central army tent and gave instructions to Gallente.

"Yes! Sir! This subordinate will summon you immediately." Gallente responded and left.

This night was like any other. After dinner, Simon read a book for a while and then went to sleep.

But early the next morning, a battle report was received.

"My Lord Earl, in the early hours of last night, the Eagle Beak Post and the military camp over there were attacked by goatmen.

Seventeen of our troops were killed, 134 were lightly wounded, and 22 were seriously wounded. 470 goatmen were killed and 223 were captured. "

Simon was nibbling a pork knuckle and listening.

"All the captives were sent to the Ancient Tree Territory for mining. They were killed... We will see if they can be eaten. If not, we will burn the fertile fields."

Simon wiped the grease from his mouth with a cotton handkerchief and said casually.

The Goatman's fighting ability is like that of a chicken, and he still achieved such results during a night attack.

In fact, Simon was not too surprised, because the physique of this kind of orc was indeed relatively weak, only slightly better than that of the kobold.

Moreover, they do not have the sharp teeth of the kobolds, so they are even less threatening. In addition, their weapons, armor, and tactics are all inferior, and they can only be slaughtered.

That is to say, this Aries Hills area has extremely favorable terrain for them, otherwise they would have been exterminated long ago.

“This group of goatmen have a good will, but they dare to take revenge.

Tell Airey to lead his troops and set off early, and if possible, capture a goat-man settlement on a hill.

I personally ride on a griffin to supervise the formation. "

After Simon raised his head and drank a can of warm malt wine mixed with honey, he stood up and walked around talking.

"Yes! Sir! I will inform you immediately." Gallente followed the order and left.

Simon came to the griffon circle and interacted with Berit.

In less than two hours, Gallente approached and reported: "My lord, the commander of the Airey Army is ready to fight at any time."

"Okay, let him attack, I'm also ready to go." Simon nodded and ordered.

"yes!"

Gallente immediately sent the carrier pigeon to convey the order. Such short messages were written on thin pieces of wood and tied to the carrier pigeon's legs.

Parchment paper is relatively precious and is generally used for formal occasions or important matters.

In fact, Simon also has the idea of ​​​​making paper, but at least he has to unify Western Cedi and at least have a decent basic base before he can talk about development.

Not long after, he and the other three gryphon knights took off again with the fire jars.

In just over half an hour, they flew over Airei's army.

They had entered the Goatman's territory and were walking through a valley.

On the mountains outside Lixu, there were more than a dozen goat men observing this army.

Under the guidance of the griffin knight, Airei accurately found the direction and came to a hill where goatmen lived.

After yesterday's air raid, the top had long since turned into a white field, but there were still goatmen wandering there crying and howling.

Some are still digging through the ruins, hoping to find some useful objects.

"Scare them and make them leave." Seeing this, Simon roared to the Griffin Knight not far away.

"Yes!" The Griffin Knight immediately took the order, flew towards the hill, made an attacking posture, and lit a fire pot and threw it down.

The goatmen saw this and immediately ran away crying for their parents. In less than five minutes, they ran away completely.

Simon saw this and his heart moved slightly. He immediately said to Berit under his seat: "Land over there!"

"Gurgle~" Berit immediately flapped his wings, turned around, and pounced over there, and soon landed on it.

Simon jumped down nimbly, and there was a burnt smell around him, and there was a faint stench, which was not very pleasant.

After a while, two more Griffin Knights landed on it and guarded on both sides.

"Go find a solid place to set up a rope hook, let the soldiers come up, and build a stronghold here.

After that, step by step, steady and solid, it won't take long before all the goatmen here will die." Simon said coldly.

"My Lord Earl is wise!" The Griffin Knight said sincerely, and then the two of them went to do things.

More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and soldiers gradually climbed up along the ropes.

There was a hill a few hundred meters to the north of the hills, and more and more goat people gathered, almost a thousand.

Judging from their clothing, they should be soldiers, after all, most of them wore leather armor and held spears.

"Reward them with a few fire pots." Simon ordered the griffin knight beside him.

"Yes!"

Not long after, the griffin knight flew over the goat people and started throwing fire pots below.

The goat people immediately ran away screaming, looking helpless and pitiful, without the vicious spirit when they robbed the food team.

It is estimated that they wanted to launch an attack before, but now, their spirit has been completely suppressed.
