So I'm a sheep.

A commotion arose among the crowd, and the person who appeared to be the captain suddenly widened his eyes.

"You killed him?"

"Okay, let me introduce myself."

Sasha said with a serious expression, "I am the invincible sword saint Saliye. Please give me your guidance."

Volume 1: Chapter 660 A Smile That Captures the Soul, Two Smiles That Take Life

Invincible Sword Saint?

Upon hearing this self-designation, the squad leader opened his mouth, but finally managed a weak smile.

"Miss Sally, did you really kill the giant?"

"The Marquis is recruiting heroes to hunt giants. If you are such a hero, please be sure to come back to Danlu City with us later."

The squad leader's tone carried a hint of warning; he didn't really believe that the girl in front of him had killed the giant.

"Let's get going without delay."

Sasha said seriously, "I am willing and capable of doing my part for Danlu City."

"Then, please follow."

Since the girl has said so, let the Marquis decide for himself whether she is a true hero or a fake hero!

On the way back to Danlu City, Sasha took the opportunity to ask about the situation.

"I'm not from the Marquisate; I just happened to pass through here while traveling. What's the deal with that giant?"

"Sigh, this is really a bizarre thing."

The squad leader gave a wry smile: "There was a kid in town named Jack. One day, when he went out to play, a bag fell from the sky and hit him on the head."

"Kids are naturally angry when they get hit. When they opened the bag, it was full of unknown beans."

"To get revenge, he ran back to his backyard, dug a small hole, and poured all the beans into it."

That's where things went wrong. In just one night, a towering bean tree sprouted in his backyard.

At first, everyone watched with great interest, and even the Marquis himself went to see it a few times out of curiosity.

To everyone's surprise, more than half a month later, the first giant climbed down from the bean tree.

This giant wreaked havoc as soon as it arrived on Earth, and what's most terrifying is that it even ate people!

"The Marquis immediately ordered the city of Danlu to be sealed off, and then, while the giant was asleep at night, he personally led his troops to destroy him."

"How exactly did they destroy that giant?" Sasha asked, quite curiously.

...........................................

"That's unclear."

The squad leader shrugged: "Anyway, that giant is indeed dead, and the Marquis even transported his body to the South District."

“A man-eating monster climbed down from the bean tree, and everyone was terrified. The Marquis mobilized all the lumberjacks in the city to cut down the tree.”

"Can......"

It can't be cut with an axe, can't be cut with a saw, and can't be burned with fire.

Everyone tried everything they could, but they couldn't get rid of that towering tree.

"Later, giants climbed down from the bean tree, and the city was thrown into chaos."

"The Marquis dismissed the city's residents and sealed off Danlu City."

"It's not wise to confront the giants head-on, but we'll have a way once they're asleep."

The squad leader said admiringly, "The Marquis used this move to eliminate three waves of giants climbing down from the bean tree. That's truly amazing!"

"It's hateful that there were too many giants coming down in the fourth wave; there were five of them."

"The brothers tried their best to attract the monsters' attention and lead them around the city. But one giant ignored us completely and charged straight out of the city."

Patting the longbow on his back, the man's expression turned solemn: "We are ordered to disperse the surrounding villagers and provoke the giant who broke through the blockade, so that he will turn back!"

How to provoke the giant and make him turn around?

Sasha was immediately filled with respect for these soldiers. She gave them a thumbs up and said, "You guys are amazing!"

The squad leader smiled somewhat sheepishly: "The Marquis gave the order personally, so we can't back down."

"Besides, my brothers' families and I all live in nearby villages. We must fight to the death to prevent that monster from harming them!"

The horse ran faster than the giant, at least faster than the giant that Sasha killed.

The cavalrymen dispersed the villagers and regrouped, ready to fight the giant to the death. To their surprise, they found that the monster was dead and they even found a powerful figure who seemed to have killed the giant!

'The Marquis will be very pleased; he might even smile at me.'

.........................................

Camilla Rees, a female marquis who is extremely rare in the kingdom.

A stunningly beautiful woman, and a powerful and resourceful lord!

A smile can steal a man's soul, and two smiles could probably kill him.

Sasha drew the above conclusion from watching the squad leader leave dejectedly after the Marquis smiled.

"Miss Sally, are you the great hero who killed the giant all by yourself?"

Camilla confirmed with a mixture of anticipation and longing.

Sasha had a very good impression of this Marquis.

Giants fell from the sky—what a terrible calamity!

Ordinary noble lords would probably have given up on Danlu City long ago and fled as far away as possible.

But this Marquis de Lacey was different!

Slay the giants, blockade Danlu City, and recruit heroes from all walks of life to launch a counterattack.

She is not only a beauty, but also a heroine!

Sasha straightened her posture and was about to answer properly when An Kang's urgent warning suddenly rang in her mind.

'Find a way to gloss over this! Whatever you do, don't mention your pristine lake scenery; something's off about this woman.'

'...'

What?

"Miss Sally?"

Noticing that Sasha seemed a little distracted, Camilla called out softly.

"Ah, ha—ha—ha—"

The girl laughed, hands on her hips: "Just a brainless giant, easily dealt with."

"My lord, I am Sally, the peerless hero who has defeated all the warriors in the kingdom. You've run into my lucky break!"

"what......"

Sasha's childish antics made Camilla's smile almost impossible to maintain.

"Hero, could you tell me how you defeated the giant?"

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her personal guard captain nod almost imperceptibly, and only then did she feel relieved.

So what if he has a strange personality? As long as he's a master, that's all that matters.

How to defeat it?

Sasha laughed heartily: "My lord, let me tell you the whole story!"

.....................................

The girl spoke eloquently, boasting for a long time, and finally ended with the sentence, "I hadn't even exerted any effort before that big guy collapsed."

"..."

Camilla nodded stiffly, and seeing that Sasha looked like she hadn't had enough, she quickly said, "It must have been hard for the hero to fight the giants first and then rush to support them without stopping."

"Shall we go down and rest for a bit, and grab something to eat?"

"I have a big appetite."

Sasha said shyly, "It might be enough for two people."

"Haha, enough for twenty people is fine too!"

After instructing the maid to take Sasha away, Camilla immediately turned back and asked, "Is she really an expert? I have a feeling she's just a fraud!"

"Although her personality isn't likable, she's definitely capable."

The captain of the personal guard said in a deep voice, "It's worth the effort to win him over. Please trust my judgment."

Volume 1: Chapter 661 The Tree of Heaven

After eating and drinking her fill, and waiting for the maid to clean up the table and leave, Sasha took the fish tank down.

"What exactly happened?" the girl asked in a low voice.

An Kang first chanted a spell to soundproof the room before coldly saying, "Why did the towering bean tree seem to not exist before we entered Danlu City?"

Sasha was taken aback. She thought about it carefully for a while, and it was true!

Before entering the city, she hadn't seen such a big tree outside.

Upon entering Danlu City, towering bean trees suddenly appeared before his eyes, yet he didn't find it strange at all.

It's so jarring!

"Besides the bean tree, don't you think there's something wrong with this Marquis's mansion too?"

The Marquis's Mansion?

The girl pondered for a moment, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
