The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 20 The Legend of the Territory
"Unexpectedly, I took over a big trouble."

Ickert did not expect that such a big crisis was hidden in the territory he chose at random.

"Thank you, Sasha. If you hadn't told the story, I would still be kept in the dark."

At night, Ickert rubbed the female apprentice's head with his generous hands. Sasha, who had been washed, had changed her previous appearance as a little sloppy girl. Even a simple maid outfit could hardly conceal her natural beauty.

There are also beautiful women among the common people, but the probability of a beautiful woman being an aristocrat is often greater.

He had thought before that Sasha, who was gifted with magic, should be the queen of the nobility, and the reality did meet his guess.

I just didn't expect that the other party was the orphan of the former lord of Windsor.
Little Sasha overreacted after hearing that Ikert was the new lord of Windsor Territory, and Ickert naturally noticed this.

But at that time, he expected the secret hidden in it, so he didn't ask about it in front of everyone.

Until night, after the convoy camped by the river, little Sasha took the initiative to get into his tent
"Teacher! Is it true that you said you are the new lord of Windsor?"

Little Sasha asked worriedly in a black and white maid outfit.

"of course it's true."

Ickert was a little surprised. He was wiping the sword oil on his great sword. The armor was neatly placed in the candle-lit tent, reflecting a little silver light.

After seeing that it was Little Sasha, Ickert put down the big sword in his hand.

"Do you have something to tell me?"

"Yes, teacher, I"

Little Sasha's hesitation and hesitation made Ickert's appetite, but even if the two had just met as a master and apprentice, it was normal for the other party to be wary of him.

After waiting for a long time, Sasha still didn't speak, so Ickert sighed, planning to find a way for this silly apprentice to step down.

"If you're not in a hurry, you can talk about it later. I'm going to bed now, and you should go to bed earlier."

After finishing speaking, Ickert waved his hand, took off his coat and threw it on the bed, turned around and went to extinguish the candle lamp, signaling the little apprentice to go out quickly.

However, when little Sasha saw this, she frowned tightly and put her head in her hands, as if she had made up her mind.

"It's very important, teacher, please listen to me!"

"Well."

Ickert withdrew the hand that was about to extinguish the candle lamp, and motioned for little Sasha to sit on the bed, while he lifted a bench and sat down.

"Go ahead."

Seeing that the time was right, little Sasha forced herself to calm down, and said slowly:

"853 Imperial Calendar."

In the summer of 853 Imperial Calendar, the lord of Windsor Territory was worrying about things in the territory as usual.

This is a piece of fertile land, and the geographical environment is so good that the emperor even considered developing it as a front-line city, and even sent an expeditionary army.

However, the fact is that this place is too fertile.

Annoying goblins and gnolls live here endlessly, and when they encounter danger, they will hide in the Kabulon Mountains on the back of Windsor.

The empire's army has been busy cleaning up these gadgets. After all, although these "alien species" have limited combat power, they always like to attack those targets that lack protection, which brings a lot of resistance to urban construction.

The generals and soldiers were struggling to deal with attacks from all over the world, but fortunately, the project has been making progress, and people believe that they can finally take root here and enjoy the black land and good climate bestowed on them by God.

However, the attacks of weak creatures were not all. At some point, an army of orcs came to the city of Windsor from nowhere, which brought disaster to the expeditionary army.

The uncompleted city, the chaotic construction site, and the main force of the expeditionary force who were still searching for the wolf man in the mountains, everything pushed this expedition to failure.

All the materials for building the city were looted, and the emperor, who was furious, was unable to launch another city-building operation.

So a new frontline lord was appointed, and the previous lord, little Sasha's grandfather, built a small castle.

The peace lasted for decades, and the orcs never went south to patronize here, but the gnolls and goblins could not be killed cleanly, which became a major disaster that plagued the development of the territory.

Sasha's father, the current lord of Windsor, was troubled by this matter. The gnolls learned to attack at night, and two families were brutally wiped out at night, and all their property was lost.

Someone heard the sound of sharp claws piercing the wood at night, and the footprints found afterwards also proved that this incident was inseparable from the wolf man.

Panic spread throughout the territory, and just a few days after the incident, two more families died in the same way.

Sasha's father immediately sent more guards and sent heraldry officers to appease the villagers in the village, but when the next day dawn came, the bodies of the guards were found
Then one day, people found a bloody wolf man in the house of the dead villager, and another victim's body was lying on the ground
The frightened villagers fled immediately, but a few rushed home and picked up dung forks, and they surrounded the wolf man and directly attacked.

The dung fork is also qualified as a weapon, but for some reason, no matter how many times the farmer stabbed the gnoll, the gnoll did not die.

The villagers panicked for a moment, and someone let go of the dung fork in fear. The jackal lost his restraint and tried to scratch around.

However, a daring one smashed its knee, and the Jackal could no longer get up, and the territory guards came later, but they couldn't do any harm to it.

In the end, the people had no choice but to burn it completely, because no matter how much they cut it with a knife, they couldn't hurt it at all.

Fortunately, the flames purify everything.

But the next day, people heard movement in the houses of the dead villagers again, and this time... it was the villagers who died last time that appeared!

This guy should be buried in the soil!

At that time, there was no case of the resurrection of the dead on the front line. Even in a different world full of magic, this kind of situation is quite absurd.

There is indeed such a profession as a necromancer in the mainland, but it is not so much a necromancer as a skeleton puppeteer. The skeleton manipulated by him is a complete skeleton and cannot act autonomously at all.

The resurrection of the dead made things difficult. The necromancer was checked in the territory, but nothing was found. There was not a single mage in the territory.

So, as a normal nobleman, little Sasha's father resolutely closed the castle and gathered all the armed forces.

At the same time, a fast horse was also sent to Donali City to find someone who could solve the problem.

Soon, the cavalry brought good news to Windsor.
