Lord: I can see loyalty.

call--!

The battle axe swept across, and blood splattered.

The warriors from the Northern Continent, who traveled on the same warship as the Sea Bear, did not leave a trail of blood and gore wherever they went, but they were still difficult for the militia knights to handle.

There were only about fifty of them.

But with just this small number of people, they instantly turned the tide of the battle!

The soldiers' lips curled into smiles, their eyes behind their helmets revealing a thirst for battle and excitement.

Arnold the sea bear who had stormed into the Southern Militia made no attempt to hide his excitement, laughing as he brandished his battle axe.

He didn't even bother to dodge the militiamen's weapons as they rained down on him; the attacks were like tickles to him!

As the knights' attacks came, it seemed as if the opponent had casually brushed past them, but then a smirk appeared on the sea bear's lips...

The knights realized that their opponent had seen through their movements!

"My lord, the situation on the battlefield has been clarified!"

On the docks of Frido, Vio frowned as he looked at the chaotic battlefield before him, while the militia captain beside him gave a report.

"It's said that Derek brought in reinforcements, and they're quite powerful!"

"I see him." Vio frowned, and he also saw Arnold the Sea Bear, who was at the forefront of the encirclement of the Southern Militia.

"Is there only one person on the other side?"

"No, that monster must be the leader of those reinforcements. Behind him are nearly fifty elite warriors, each one incredibly strong... not to be underestimated!"

Vio didn't reply, but kept his eyes fixed on Arnold the sea bear on the warship not far away. After a short while, the panel finally appeared.

Name: Arnold Snowfen

Race: Human

Age: 37

[Faction: Sea Bear Arnold Chapter]

[Hobbies: Fighting, killing, food]

【Characteristics: Irritable, fast, possesses top-tier strength and physique, thick-skinned, fearless of death, and has top-tier combat experience】

Loyalty: Not loyal to you

[Status: Excited, Injured]

Vio's brow furrowed even more deeply.

He had already looked at quite a few panels, so he naturally understood the meaning of many of the entries.

The term "top-tier" appears the least frequently, and when it does, it's always an extremely exaggerated one.

The opponent not only possesses the same top-tier superhuman strength as Glenn, but also top-tier combat experience and a top-tier physique!

The fact that these three terms appear on one person at the same time is probably no less valuable than the second level of one's own breathing technique!

Since that's the case, Vio no longer hesitated. He had already gathered the intelligence he needed, and there was no need to cause unnecessary casualties.

"Jimmy!"

Jimmy, who was locked in a stalemate with a Northern Continent warrior who was grinning and breathing out icy air, also heard Vio's shout.

"Order a retreat! Cover each other! Minimize casualties as much as possible!"

"Here you go!"

Jimmy responded and, with a powerful strike, repelled the fearless, crazed warrior before him, then quickly retreated, shouting as he did so.

"Retreat! Retreat to Port Friedow! Form groups of three and provide cover for each other!"

With the order given, the militia and knights finally breathed a sigh of relief and retreated back to their warships while still fighting.

In no time, the entire battlefield of the North Sea was reduced to just the warriors from the Northern Continent and the pirate warriors under Derek's command.

Arnold the Sea Bear paused for a moment, then swung his axe at a pirate warrior beside him.

"Wait, Lord Arnold! I am... Ah!"

Before the pirate could finish speaking, his head was split in two by an axe. The other pirates immediately deflated and quickly retreated to create distance.

"Brother Arnold!" Derek hurriedly came out, waving his hand and calling out.

"Derek, what's going on?"

When Arnold the Sea Bear saw that the visitor was Derek, he finally managed to suppress some of his anger.

Derek simply scratched his head, feigning composure, and laughed, "Isn't it obvious? Thanks to Big Brother, these southern landlubbers have been driven back!"

"Do you think I'm stupid?!"

Arnold the sea bear's eyes widened instantly, and combined with his furry armor, he looked exactly like a giant bear wanting to devour its opponent.

Derek, however, still wore that menacing grin; he knew exactly how to calm this "beast" down.

"What are you saying, Brother Arnold!" He walked over and patted the other man on the shoulder, pointing to the Southern Warriors who had already gathered in Frido Harbor. "Their territory is right there. If they want to run again, they'll have to abandon Frido Harbor."

"I'm just worried about my brother's men. After all, fighting at sea is not the same as fighting in a siege."

Upon hearing this, Arnold the Sea Bear also slightly changed his expression and looked in the direction of Port Friedo.

The port of Frido, which was once just a commercial city, has now been transformed into a series of watchtowers, each equipped with heavy crossbows capable of piercing large warships.

What made them even more hesitant to attack was that on one of the watchtowers, three figures dressed only in light armor were standing.

They each held a seemingly inconspicuous wooden stick in their hands.

However, any warrior with a modicum of intelligence would understand that it was a mage!

"Shut up, you smooth talker!"

They each held a seemingly inconspicuous wooden stick in their hands.

However, any warrior with a modicum of intelligence would understand that it was a mage!

"Shut up, you smooth talker!"

Sea Bear Arnold didn't refute anymore. He also understood that if he launched a direct attack, his group of Northern Continent warriors would suffer heavy casualties, or even be wiped out.

Although his warriors were all waiting to die in battle and go to the Temple of Heroes, they weren't stupid enough to just wait to die. Besides, dying in a small southern country was not what they wanted.

"In that case, let's rest here near Frido Port..." Derek said with a smile, glancing at an uninhabited piece of land on the outskirts of Frido City.

Sea Bear Arnold snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the group of Northern Continent warriors before speaking.

"You'd better get my men some work to do soon. I can put up with it for your sake, but they might not be so forgiving."

"Don't worry..."

…………

Frido Stone Tower in Frido Harbor.

Vio was sitting in the main seat, with Jimmy and Gina on either side of him, and Vincent, the captain of the guard, standing silently behind him.

Before him stood Cohen and several knight captains who had just been summoned.

Everyone's faces were extremely grim.

"Your Excellency, the headcount has been completed." One of the knight captains finally spoke, his face grim.

"Thirty-six militiamen were killed, seventy-six were seriously wounded, and one hundred and fifty-seven were slightly wounded."

"Three knights died, four were seriously wounded, one of whom was incapacitated, and forty-five were slightly wounded."

After reporting, the knight captain lowered his head and added, "It was our captain's fault. Please punish him, Earl."

Vio simply sighed, waved his hand, and said, "It's not your problem."

"Arrange for the families of the injured and the deceased according to the previously agreed compensation terms, and let Uncle Valentine give priority to treating the seriously injured."

After speaking, Vio looked out of the stone tower. At the limit of visibility in Freedore Port, he could already see Derek's warband setting up camp and resting on land.

This is the first time the South has been at such a disadvantage since it began fighting the West.
