Chapter 205: Monge Greywater Dies Without a Corpse
Lyon's offensive against the mountain orcs came to a standstill. Though no official announcement was made, anyone paying attention to the war quickly guessed why.
The terrifying Silvermoon Knight had finally died.
With the empire's strongest paladin gone, even the arrogantly aggressive Lyon Empire had no choice but to halt its invasion. Once the orcs learned the news, they launched a full-scale counterattack. The result was that four of the five cities Lyon had seized fell back into orc control. Only Tusk City remained firmly in Lyon's control.
The orcs attempted to besiege it several times, but after leaving behind more than a thousand corpses of orc warriors, they were forced to temporarily give up.
Lyon had captured the gateway to the mountains, Tusk City, at the cost of the Silvermoon Knight. Whether that trade was profitable remained to be seen.
At the very least, Ambrose had profited recently.
Naomi had finally woken from the dreamscape after two days.
As Naomi's master, Ambrose could already sense the changes in her faculties.
Previously, Naomi had been an ordinary druid, unremarkable in terms of talent or ability. After forming a contract with Ambrose, she had been forcibly advanced into the legendary rank. The two days she spent sleeping had felt far longer for her in the dream.
