Chapter 36: The Centaur Clan’s Arrival

After the traitors had been weeded out from the village, everything returned to peace.

In the town that had yet to be built in the northwest, some people had begun to make a ruckus once they realized their informants in Puba Village had been caught.

In Tobomori’s governor’s mansion, Duke Richard could not help but frown after finding this out.

“This is the First Prince who was obsessed with women in the past. It seems that I was clearly blind to underestimate him!”

After saying that, he started to write a letter and handed it to the adjutant.

“Send this letter to the Grand Duke of Ockham Dukedom!”

The adjutant who was holding the letter placed it close to his chest before wrapping himself up with a waterproof cloth.

Richard had decided it was time to start a war with Puba Village!

“I, the Iron Cavalry of Ockham Dukedom, will not be afraid of a village that isn’t even armed!”

As the sun rose, Joshua had already woken up in his seat.

Basically, everything in the city had been completed and the traitors had been caught.

Identifying them was easy as it was as if they had all earned large amounts of wealth overnight.

Moreover, the villagers of Puba Village loved the place where they lived now.

So once there was anything fishy, everyone could become a whistle-blower and expose these people.

There were already more than 5,800 people in the village and there were actually dozens of traitors. This fact shocked Joshua.

How did these people bribe them?

But soon, Joshua knew the reason. Because the bright village did not stop outsiders, any humans who came here were not stopped by the guards.

The humans who came might not be able to easily lure these people but once they were from the same race, it was very easy to come into contact with them.

At this time, Mortimer, who had already washed up, came into the room.

“Young Master! Do you want to rest now?”

Joshua waved his hand. “Just send the food over and I’ll eat it here. You don’t have to worry about cleaning up after me either. I’ll be fine in these next few days. Also, please help me find Alger as I have something to tell him!”

“Yes, I’ll do it right away!” After saying that, Mortimer left the room.

Joshua immediately flipped through the information that Mortimer had just sent over. After reading it, he was shocked awake.

The information inside was about the nearby local army.

“Duke Richard, so it’s you! You’re really cunning!”

The other party had a total of one thousand knights. Moreover, these knights were the best of the best. Each of them was a knight who had a title bestowed upon them.

In addition, there were two thousand infantrymen and a few mages.

Joshua immediately compared his own troops, which was composed of elves, dark elves, the Great Ghost clan, minotaurs, and so on.

In total, there were less than two thousand of them. However, their equipment had become better after the previous incident.

Moreover, all of these people had received training from Georgi, so they were considered quite strong.

The only thing that worried Joshua was the knights. This army had a strong foundation that would cause difficulties for most people.

The leader’s strength was about the same as Georgi’s, but ten of his subordinates could match up to one Georgi. This kind of combat strength could not be measured in numbers alone.
