Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor Chapter 409 - 232: The Gap

...

...

"Honorable Lord, I am the ssenger of Black Pine Ridge, sent by Baron Luo De Tulip."

The ssenger bowed in salute and presented the wax-sealed wooden tube with both hands.

"This is the letter from our lord to you, saying that as long as you have the courage, Black Pine Ridge will assist you in facing this crisis!"

Camille took the letter, swiftly twisted off the wooden stopper, and quickly scanned the text.

After reading, Camille nodded without hesitation,

"Good, thank Baron Rod for his generous aid."

A hint of a smile appeared on Camille’s cold face,

"We will hold out till the end, please wait a mont, I will imdiately reply to Baron Rod."

Camille turned to her knight, "Let Ku Lun arrange a room for the ssenger to rest well."

The ssenger quickly waved his hand, bowed again,

"Thank you for your hospitality, but I must quickly return to report to the lord!"

"The lord said ti is urgent, no need for a letter, I will return to deliver the ssage now."

Camille nodded, "Very well, Dost, help see off this ssenger."

"Yes, my lord."

The knight nodded in salute, politely gesturing to lead the ssenger out.

Soon enough, Dost returned after seeing off the ssenger, eyes filled with doubt,

"Lord, with Baron Rod coming from so far to help us, did he ask for anything?"

"He asked us to hold the defense."

Camille paused, "No other requests."

"Baron Rod only requests that the lizardn forever remain in the Desert!"

Dost furrowed his brow slightly and cautiously asked:

"If he wants nothing at all... Do you think the baron’s words are trustworthy?"

Camille cast a cold glance at Dost, her leather armor tightened as she turned, making her stance more powerful.

"Do you think soone would send a letter only to deceive us?"

"Or do you think I’m foolish?"

Camille withdrew her gaze, looking into the distance, "What is there to deceive here? The land?"

"If Baron Rod intended us harm, he wouldn’t have sent any ssage before."

"Once the lizardn flatten our town, wouldn’t this land beco his?"

Dost lowered his head, quickly said, "You’re right!"

"Baron Rod’s letter had a saying that deeply moved ."

Camille thoughtfully spoke slowly, "If the lips are gone, the teeth will feel the biting cold wind of the Northern Wilderness."

Dost shuddered, imdiately straightening his chest,

"I will make arrangents and intensify preparations for battle!"

Just as Dost finished speaking, urgent hoofbeats sounded from outside.

Camille sensed sothing amiss and quickly walked to the training ground entrance, just in ti to see a scout dismount and rush in, breathless.

"Lord! It’s bad!"

His voice was urgent, his eyes panicked.

"The lizardman army has mobilized, advancing toward us!"

...

...

Cold spring rain pierced down like needles, knocking against the corpses, with a constant wailing.

The earth was stained red with blood, the spikes of the fortifications hung with lizardn’s remains.

The flickering flas in Ice Breath Town illuminated the ground full of blood and corpses, along with broken arrows and long spears stuck in the ground.

Camille slumped in the sentry post, her silver hair disheveled, breathing heavily.

Compared to others, Camille’s face was relatively clean, thanks to the guards’ protection, showing only sweat not blood.

"Dost!"

Camille’s voice was deafening, and her knight quickly ran up.

In contrast, Dost was covered in blood, his armor riddled with claw marks, scales lodged in its seams.

"Lord, I’m here!"

"How many n do we have left?"

Dost unhesitatingly reported: "Twenty-nine militia, one hundred nineteen farrs and slaves, your guards are unscathed!"

Camille breathed a sigh of relief, "What about the lizardn?"

"Twenty-five enemies killed, how many died in the outside traps is unknown!"

Camille couldn’t help but furrow her brow.

The lizardn were stronger than she anticipated.

By relying on fortifications to resist their attack, only twenty-five were slain.

"Don’t be complacent, this is just the lizardn’s first probing attack, they’ll co again!"

"Understood, my lord!"

Dost nodded heavily, hesitated for a mont, but couldn’t help speaking,

"Lord, we might not withstand the next wave, if things look bad, please make sure to withdraw..."

"We’ll talk if we can’t hold!"

Camille waved forcefully, "Quickly check the defenses!"

Dost nodded in salute, clutching his longsword at the waist, quickly left.

Camille looked down through the gaps,

Several militia dragged wounded legs, slowly moving corpses, their bodies full of fatigue.

In the distance, a farr sat powerlessly beside a companion’s corpse, placing a lit pipe next to the companion.

"These damn beasts must be slaughtered completely!"

Camille gritted her teeth, her heart filled with rage.

She stood up, looking at the dispirited crowd,

"You..."

Camille’s words were interrupted by the urgent horn sounds from a distant shadow,

"The lizardn are coming again!"

"Boom隆隆——"

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, thunder bood like an overture to the battle ahead.

The earth trembled slightly, the dense dark figures made Camille’s heart sink.

Indeed, this ti is the lizardn’s fierce assault!

"Prepare to fight!"

Camille did not retreat, shouting loudly,

"Ice Breath Town will never let these monsters lay a finger!"

Staring at the approaching lizardn, Camille imdiately raised her bow and arrow, aiming at the lizardman in the front!

Shoot!

The arrow soared through the air, leaving a cold streak, instantly hitting the lizardman in the head!
