A baby dragon has built a nest outside the Novice Village

Chapter 64 Explosion
There were piles of documents and reports on the Jazz's desk.

Under the current situation in Sagatte City, the city hall has basically come to a standstill.

Even though those employees were still sitting in their offices under the coercion of the undead's swords, these mortals had no mind to work. Their minds were already filled with fear, and there was not even a little space left for the work at hand.

But someone still has to do the work. Most of the blood heirs are commanding those unintelligent undead, and those wizards are also creating new undead forces in the cemetery.

Each of the Jazz's men has his own things to do.

So, all these documents and reports were piled up on the knight's desk.

He is now reading the detailed report on the goblin extermination operation.

"They are highly organized, well-equipped, and have a large number of mutants. Ordinary goblins will hardly retreat under the command of mutants. Sometimes they are assisted by giant dragons..."

The bloodline could not deceive or rebel against its master, but even so, it was difficult for the knight to believe what was said in the report.

He wanted to confirm it.

Farri was looking at the castle below.

However, when the Jazz was preparing for the worst, the worst had already happened, and it happened earlier than he expected.

This is Rock Castle, built on a hill, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

In the past, he would leave such things to "Ying", and "Ying" would never let him down.

"Wait a moment."

Jazz shook his head and reached out to press the bell in front of him.

"Tsk."

A servant came in.

"Half of the next batch of undead converted from the cemetery will be assigned to Kasani, and the rest will be stationed in Rock and Scalewood Castle. Also, transfer Popokar and Karala over there as well."

The Jazz took another look at the map in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then revised his orders.

Just in case, the knight decided to strengthen the two castles located between the Shadow Crow Mercenaries and the Kassani troops to protect the rear of that line.

According to the report, it is difficult for the goblins to break through the encirclement, and Kasani only needs a small number of undead as a reserve to slowly crush these goblins.

What the lord is worried about is the back of the defense line. The dragon also appeared in the relevant reports from Pala Town. It is hard to say what the relationship is between those goblins, the dragon, and Lannia's Shadow Raven.

If the report was true, he would have to raise the threat assessment of the goblins again and allocate more resources in that direction.

But when he looked up, he saw a shadow swaying on the wall with the candlelight.

Kasani was the name of the blood heir. Now the knight could only believe in the accuracy of his report and hope that he had not been misled or deceived.

Fary originally planned to capture Reinhardt and his party and fly over here, and carry out an airborne operation at the same time, but before Fary could say anything, Lania called on the mercenaries around her to bring the horses.

He was waiting for Reinhardt and his party to arrive.

The Jazz tutted in dissatisfaction. Shadow was gone.

"Assign the next batch of undead transformed from the Great Cemetery to Kasani."

The attendant bowed and was about to leave.

When Reinhardt saw those horses, he felt like he had seen his own father. He rushed over immediately, scaring the horses so much that they almost broke free from the mercenary's reins.

Fary looked at his paws.

"Is the ride really that bad? How about giving them a hanging basket next time?"

The Jazz didn't realize that their deployment was one step too late.

Another report was handed to his desk.

It was a report marked "Important", which meant that he had personally instructed that this report should be paid special attention to.

The content of the report is simple.

"The situation on the northern border of the territory is stable. Not only did the enemy not take advantage of the situation, but they also forced the border troops to retreat 20 kilometers."

The north is the sphere of influence of the kingdom's eldest prince. It is the border of the kingdom and is inhabited by border nobles. Most of them are first-generation nobles who were granted titles based on their strength.

These border nobles guard the borders of the kingdom, and military conflicts with other kingdoms are almost a part of their daily lives. In this environment, the combat effectiveness of their troops is stronger than those of the great nobles in the core areas of the kingdom.

All along, these people have been dissatisfied with their barren border territories and have been looking for opportunities to expand, acquire more territories, and improve their financial situation. However, this time, they did not take advantage of the situation to rob Saget City, but instead retreated.

"You want to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers..."

This reaction was obviously what the eldest prince meant. He was sending a signal for the knight to fight as much as he wanted.

He wanted to use the knight's hand to weaken his rival for the throne. Of course, when the two sides were about to decide the winner, he probably would not refuse to take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie.

"In this case, withdraw the troops from the northern border and strengthen the defense around Haiyin Town."

The eldest prince's favorite method is to do this, taking advantage of the general trend and making others make the choices he wants them to make.

The knight gave the order decisively. Now, the northern part of Saget City was completely undefended. As long as the border nobles wanted, they could easily take over two or three towns in the north.

But the eldest prince would not take action. He was a greedy man and would quietly wait for the moment when he could reap the greatest benefit.

Jazz shook his head and put these things out of his mind for the time being.

There is still a pile of documents on the table waiting for him to process.

"There still needs to be someone alive to handle these trivial matters."

The Jazz had no choice but to pick up the next document. He wanted to burn all these documents right now, but in the end he had to be patient and deal with these tasks.

And now Castle Rock is really burning.

Farri's breath ignited the exposed undead in the castle, and now he hovered freely over the castle.

After Reinhardt and his men successfully sneaked into the castle and destroyed the enchanted crossbows, there was nothing here that could threaten Farri hovering in the air.

Under Farui's repeated breaths, only a few undead entered the main castle, wanting to defend it to the death.

Farui really had no good solution outside. He used his claws to open a few holes in the main castle and poured his breath into them, but the undead would hide deeper inside. The main castle was mainly made of bricks and stones, so the breath was not very effective.

"It's not good if it's not good..."

Farrell was not disappointed.

Because he didn't expect to destroy the castle by himself. Now he just needed to make a bigger noise so that the undead inside would have no time to pay attention to Reinhardt who was right below the main castle.

Reinhardt and his men were moving barrels of oil from the castle's siege weapon workshop to the sewers of the main castle.

"It should be almost done."

Reinhardt looked at the oil barrels that occupied half of the sewer, turned around and rushed into the castle's granary with Ella and Krigo.

The undead do not need to eat, so after they took control of the castle, the food in the granary has never been reduced.

After easily killing two low-level undeads who happened to be in the granary and escaped Farri's breath, Reinhardt found their target.

Bags and bags of flour.

"Is that really all that's going to work?"

Reinhardt and his party were running towards the castle gate, their bodies covered with flour and dust, looking a little funny.

The sewers under the main castle are now filled with flour dust floating in the air. Ella's magic makes the dust spread very evenly.

"According to the dragon, this is all that's needed. Just wait for the fire spell to take effect."

The city gate was still some distance away when Reinhardt suddenly remembered something.

"How long will your fire spell last?"

"five."

Reinhardt felt a little relieved. Five minutes was enough for them to leave the castle, and the explosion would probably not extend outside the castle.

"Four."

"What do you mean?"

Reinhardt realized something was wrong and quickened his pace, but it was too late.

"Three, two, one."

The ground shook violently and an explosion occurred.
