The Red Leaf Forest was a sea of red, like the sunset in the sky, spreading into the distance.
Patter, patter!
In the morning, in the Red Leaf Forest near the Goat Horn Village, four elite soldiers of the Fergus family wearing black leather armor were walking in the forest full of red leaf trees.
They were moving very carefully, and they would be alert if there was any movement. They would only continue moving after confirming that there was no danger.
"Have you heard?
Another one died yesterday, and it's already the seventh one! "
A burly man with slightly dark skin whispered.
"How did he die?"
Another big man asked in a low voice.
"I heard that he was bitten by a poisonous snake. He was so unlucky that he was bitten on the neck, and died on the spot. What an unjust death."
The slightly tanned brawny man said.
"It's already not bad. The four guys who died a few days ago were more miserable. They must have met the monster head-on, and even their bodies were gone."
A man with a strong physique replied.
"Do you think that we will also meet the monster head-on?"
A yellow-haired man said with a worried look.
"Shut your crow's mouth, I still want to live and go back to marry a wife."
The lean man scolded with dissatisfaction.
"Marry a wife?
When I go back this time, I also want to marry a wife. Although the mission this time is dangerous, the viscount's reward is also very generous. It's actually a full three gold coins. "
Hearing that he was going to marry a wife, the tanned man licked his lips, and his eyes flashed with excitement and yearning.
Three gold coins was a huge sum of money that they didn't even dare to imagine before. Under normal circumstances, even if they worked for the castle for decades, they might not be able to save up such a huge sum of money.
As long as he could get this reward, he could quit his current job as a castle soldier, go back to marry a wife, farm, or do some small business. He would have no worries for the rest of his life.
As for the danger, he didn't care too much. As long as he became a soldier, there would be no lack of danger. In the battle a few months ago, there were no monsters, but didn't people still die?
And dozens of people died, which was several times more than the number of people who died in the monster's mouth.
The burly man and the yellow-haired man didn't say anything, but their faces showed yearning. As long as they could survive this mission, they would have no worries for the rest of their lives.
Along the way, the four of them explored the forest, and after about half an hour, they saw the lake that Gray and the others saw last time.
In the bushes near the lake, there was a simple nest made of dried branches. That was where Hanhu usually slept. Because it wasn't the first time they came to investigate, they easily found the nest from a distance, and found Hanhu resting in the nest.
"Quick, look, that is...?"
Suddenly, the four people's eyes widened as they looked in the direction of the Frost Tiger's lair.
In a simple nest made of dried twigs, a two-meter-long Frost Tiger was lying on top of a dried twig.
Its body was much larger than an ordinary tiger. However, under its huge body, there was not a body full of fat, but a group of powerful muscles that were full of explosive power.
Just from its appearance, it was obvious that this tiger-shaped blood fiend was powerful. The four of them had no doubt that if they were discovered by this tiger-shaped blood fiend, none of them would be able to escape. Their four companions who were killed before were the best proof.
But at this time, their eyes were not fixed on the ferocious and explosive muscles on the other party's body, but on a white animal that was about twenty to thirty centimeters long beside its lower abdomen.
Its whole body was covered in white fur, and it lay motionless beside the tiger-shaped blood fiend. Only the occasional slight squirming proved that it was alive.
The four of them looked at each other, unable to hide the excitement and joy on their faces. They knew that their mission was finally completed, because that white animal was obviously the cub of a tiger-shaped blood fiend!
Although they were a little far away, and they couldn't even see the shape of this small white animal clearly, they were very sure that it was the cub of a tiger-shaped blood fiend. Only a cub of a tiger-shaped blood fiend could appear beside it and not be killed!!!
...
"It's giving birth?"
The news was relayed to Bernal, who was stationed in Goat Horn Village, and soon to Fergus Castle. Viscount Fergus, Gray, and the others who received the news were unable to hide their excitement.
A blood fiend whose strength was comparable to a Murderous level warrior when it matured. This was a blood fiend whose strength was comparable to a Murderous level warrior when it matured!
They were only one step away from obtaining it. As long as they gathered their men and killed the mother beast, they would be able to obtain it immediately.
"It's finally given birth!"
Viscount Fergus revealed a rare look of joy. After waiting for half a month, this Hanhu had finally given birth.
"That's great!"
Sarah sat beside Gray, her face full of excitement.
"Mm, that's great."
Gray also revealed a joyful expression. The value of a Frost Tiger cub was indeed extremely great. At least to the current Fergus family, it was so.
Caroline and Elise were also full of joy and excitement.
"Master, to prevent any accidents, it's best to act as soon as possible!"
Madame De Milan clasped her hands together and paced back and forth with a face full of urgency.
"I know."
Viscount Fergus put away the smile on his face and nodded solemnly. He then called Steward Neeson over.
"Neeson, immediately send someone to inform Baron Ricardo, Baron Kipling, Lord Corgi, and Lord Harry. Tell them to come see me at the castle immediately!"
These four people were the other four top blood warriors in Viscount Fergus's territory other than Lord Linde. In order to kill the Hanhu without any accidents, the four of them must be called.
"Yes, Lord Viscount!"
Steward Neeson was a brown-haired man in his early forties. Although he was confused as to why the Lord Viscount would urgently summon these four, he knew what to ask and what not to ask. He quickly went to arrange for someone to deliver the message.
An hour later, Baron Ricardo, Baron Kipling, Lord Corgi, and Lord Harry, who had received the urgent summons, arrived at Fergus Castle on their horses.
"What, a Hanhu cub?"
"This, this …"
Because the four of them were required to participate in the killing of the Hanhu, Viscount Fergus told them about the Hanhu cub. After learning of the existence of the Hanhu cub, the four of them couldn't help but be shocked.
A Hanhu cub was already an extremely shocking matter for the Fergus family, let alone a Baron family and a Lord family like theirs.
After a moment, the first to react was Baron Ricardo.
"Congratulations, Lord Viscount, for obtaining a Hanhu cub!"
"If I want to obtain the Hanhu cub, I will need the assistance of the four of you. Come with me and kill the mother Hanhu that has just given birth."
Viscount Fergus looked at the four of them.
"Lord Viscount, please give us your orders!"
Baron Kipling was the first to express his stance.
As the number one fighting family in Viscount Fergus's territory, the Kipling family had never refused a battle and had always been at the forefront.
"Lord Viscount, please give us your orders!"
Baron Ricardo, Lord Corgi, and Lord Harry had a slight change in their eyes as they immediately expressed their stance.
"Very well, the Hanhu cub will belong to the Fergus family. However, the blood and flesh of the Hanhu that has just given birth will be shared by all four of your families."
Viscount Fergus nodded in satisfaction and said.
The most correct way to control his subordinates was to use the carrot and stick. Viscount Fergus clearly understood this point. After forcefully recruiting the four of them to participate in the killing, he also gave some of the benefits and benefits to the four of them.
"Thank you, Lord Viscount, for your generosity!"
Joy appeared on the faces of the four of them. They didn't get a share of the Hanhu cub, but the blood and flesh of the Hanhu that had just given birth were extremely precious. If they could get a share of it, the benefits this time would definitely not be low.
"Very well, to prevent any accidents, let's go. Gray, Elise, you two come with us."
Viscount Fergus gazed at Gray and Elise and said.
"Yes."
Both of them answered, but after Gray answered, he said, "Don't worry.
"Father, I suggest we bring more knights with us!"
"Bring more knights?
Young master Gray, we need to be secretive. If the team is too big, it will definitely be noticed by the other Viscount families. "
Baron Ricardo frowned and disagreed.
"If we have too many people, it will be easy to be noticed by the other Viscount families. However, even if we are noticed, it will be too late by the time they get the news and rush over."
Gray shook his head.
"Brother Bernal has been in the Goat Horn Village for so long. I'm afraid the other Viscount families have already noticed. To be on the safe side, I think we should bring more knights."
"Father, I think what Gray said makes sense. Even if the other families know, it will be too late. If we bring more knights, we will have more ability to deal with unexpected situations."
Caroline also said.
"That makes sense. We should bring more people."
