Luo De's smile made White Wolf breathe a sigh of relief, daring to look up at Luo De again.

Vivian didn't speak, but her body involuntarily leaned towards Luo De.

Luo De turned and glanced at her, prompting her to stand properly with her head down.

The soldiers were still cleaning up the battlefield, which was a lengthy task.

The bodies of the lizard monsters, especially the giant lizardmen, could not be wasted.

Luo De considered these potentially extraordinary materials.

Even if they weren't extraordinary materials, they could be used for composting.

But before that, they needed to be tested for toxins, so as not to pollute the crops.

The pursuit troops returned swiftly, with Wolfhoof escorting three lizard monsters, chained, up to Luo De.

Wolfhoof visibly paused for a moment at the sight of Luo De, his knees buckling as he immediately knelt,

"Great and noble Saint Master, your humble servant has captured three wicked invaders attempting to flee for you."

Wolfhoof swallowed hard, unsure why he was nervous, momentarily forgetting what else he wanted to say,

"Ah, please interrogate them."

After speaking, Wolfhoof dared not raise his head, only feeling the iron chain in his hand fiercely pulling back, unable to hold it, and was instantly dragged down with a tumble!

In his moment of distress, the Frost Iron Guard quickly stepped forward, each with a shield, bashing the lizard monsters onto the ground, pounding fiercely.

Until Luo De raised his hand, the Frost Iron Guard immediately stopped, paid respects, and retreated.

Wolfhoof hastily and awkwardly got up, knelt down: "Great Saint Master, I, I also don't know why they went mad... Please punish me!"

"Don't worry about it."

Luo De waved his hand, walking slowly to the lizard monsters.

By now, the lizard monsters had settled down, crouched on the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

This is the effect of the Pseudo-Dragon Slayer.

Especially obvious on creatures with dragon bloodlines.

"You were originally mixed blood, weren't you?"

Luo De inquired in the alien race language.

The three lizard monsters nodded repeatedly, not daring to hesitate.

"How did you become like this? And who transformed you?"

Although his tone was calm, Luo De's question made the lizard monsters tremble even more.

They seemed caught between loyalty and fear, unable to utter any words throughout.

Luo De placed his foot on one of the lizard monster's heads,

"Answer me!"

The deep question carried an invisible authority, instantly sending a shiver through those uninvolved nearby.

And the lizard monster directly urinated.

"The Great Shaman granted us the power of flesh and blood, when we woke, we were like this!"

The lizard monster's voice was trembling, slurred, but Luo De barely understood.

It seemed they were indeed products of some magic ritual.

Luo De asked some detailed questions.

But these lizard monsters were mere small fry, knowing nothing.

Finally, Luo De waved his hand, letting Wolfhoof lead them away for bloodletting.

Wolfhoof felt relieved, quickly dragging the standing lizard monsters away.

After the interrogation of the lizard monsters, Durant quickly came over after compiling the battle report.

Seeing Luo De, Durant instinctively knelt on one knee, almost blurting out,

"Your Majesty!"

"Huh?"

Luo De clearly paused, and everyone else's gaze fell on Durant.

"A thousand apologies, Baron!"

Durant's Adam's apple bobbed, his brow furrowed, momentarily puzzled why he called out such a title.

"It's okay, you must be too tired."

Luo De understood Durant's feelings, taking the lead in explaining for him: "Facing such enemies, even a knight cannot avoid mental disturbances."

"Yes, thank you for your kindness and understanding."

Durant quickly agreed, recovering to report: "Based on our data, seventeen soldiers died, thirty-nine were severely wounded, two hundred thirteen were lightly injured, and other minor injuries were not counted."

"The death and severe injuries are rather many, Durant."

Luo De slightly frowned, "Every soldier is a warrior of Black Pine Ridge."

Durant intended to explain that the giant lizardmen were too powerful; ordinary soldiers couldn't stop them, plus the lizard monsters were often extremely frenzied.

The results were actually quite good.

"You are right, I will intensify their training."

But at the last moment, Durant changed his words,

"The deceased and severely injured were mostly reservists, after this battle, they will become more mature."

"Mm."

Luo De responded softly, "Ensure the families of the fallen soldiers receive their compensation timely, and pay close attention to the severely injured soldiers, particularly those disabled."

"Rest assured, I will arrange everything properly, and appoint people for supervision."

Durant quickly replied.

"Alright, continue cleaning the battlefield."

Luo De waved his hand, turning to leave.

Durant finally breathed a sigh of relief, standing upright.

At this moment, Durant's deputy drew close, quietly saying: "Durant, why did you also want to address the Baron as Your Majesty just now?"

"I don't know either…"

Durant exhaled deeply, puzzled, turning to look at his deputy,

"Why did you say 'also'?"

The deputy leaned in, speaking in a small voice: "Because I also wanted to address the Baron as 'Your Majesty'."

"Hmm?"

Durant's heart suddenly thumped, thoughts flashing through his mind.

Recalling the sudden warmth during battle and the change he sensed in the Lord just now.

Durant felt something was amiss.

Could it be that what Bai Shuang said about the Master of the Holy Land, is actually the so-called Celestial Destiny Emperor?

Durant pulled his deputy close,

"Go inquire about others' feelings towards the Baron, remember—don't make it public."
