I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 242 Firelight

After another bite of bread, Bogi spoke again.

"Zwan, I wish you hadn't disappeared..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

But another captain chimed in.

"Yes, you should be the sheriff."

"That's what I mean!" "Eh!"

When Ziwang heard their voices getting louder, he quickly raised his hand and spoke to interrupt them.

He turned his head and glanced at the inner wall behind him.

Seeing that there was no movement, he then looked at the team leaders again.

"Keep your voice down."

It's best not to let anyone hear this.

Zivan took the initiative to change the subject.

"Speaking of which, I didn't see the Baron, Lady Talis, or the young lady..."

After some casual conversation, he learned that the soldiers also didn't know where the Baron's family had gone.

The sky quickly became completely dark.

The soldiers' mealtime was over.

Apart from a few soldiers who were responsible for keeping watch on the wall, the others found places to rest according to their ranks.

The barracks couldn't accommodate all these people, so they had to stay in the empty workshops to barely find a place to sleep.

But even now, bright light still shines through the windows of the main building.

The aroma of meat wafted out and entered Ziwang's nasal cavity.

Snapped.

A hand was placed on Ziwang's shoulder.

He turned his head and saw Bogi.

Several soldier captains were standing next to Bogi.

"Ziwang, we need to check the defenses as the steward requested. Would you like to come with us?"

In response to Bogi's invitation, Zwan glanced at several soldier captains.

"I'm not a bodyguard anymore, I'm just a manor chief..."

He wanted to politely decline, but then another soldier captain walked to his other side and put his arm around his shoulder.

"Let's go, do we still need to talk about this?"

Another soldier captain stood behind Zwan and gently pushed him forward.

"Ha, none of us ever said that when we were drinking..."

"Don't treat us like Gaymur..."

The soldiers and captains in the town either grew up together or often drank and ate together, so they didn't take Ziwan's current job transfer seriously at all.

Seeing his friends' continued enthusiasm, Ziwang couldn't help but smile.

"Oh well."

He hasn't taken a shower yet.

"Let's go, let's go."

"Let's go for a walk."

Zwan was surrounded by them and walked around the fortress.

He thus gained a general understanding of the defenses within the fortress.

Like the second wall, the outermost wall had a sentry standing at each of the four corners, regardless of whether there were corner towers or not.

Unlike the previous gate, which was made of thick wooden planks covered with iron, the new gate was simply made of fresh wood sawn into large pieces and pieced together with nails.

The door hinges and bolts were all made from fresh wood.

It feels like Enlian could knock down the door frame and all the way over as soon as she arrives.

After inspecting the defenses of the outer and middle layers of the perimeter wall, the team leaders went to the gate of the inner perimeter wall.

The main gate here wasn't burned down; it still has the original high-end features.

The door, made up of several layers of thick, neatly arranged wooden planks, was airtight. The orderly distribution of the iron plating made it difficult to find any weaknesses, and the protruding cast iron rivets were unsettling to look at.

clap clap clap!

Bogi banged on the door, and a head popped out from the top of the inner wall.

"What are you doing?"

By the light of the torch held high by Bogi, the captains could see the oil on the corner of the guy's mouth.

Damn it, these rogue soldiers are actually eating meat!

Bogi shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Inspect the defenses!"

The head on the wall shrank back.

But Zwan and his group could hear their voices.

"Boss, those guys outside want to inspect the defenses."

"They're checking a donkey's ass! Follow me!"

At this, a cacophony of responses erupted from the top of the wall.

Ziwang and his companions only saw five people standing on the wall.

The five people showed their upper bodies, and the one in the middle spoke first.

"The sheriff said that the defense of the inner wall is our responsibility, and it has nothing to do with you."

Since the division was so clear, the several soldier captains didn't bother to care anymore.

They were about to turn and leave, but the people on the wall didn't stop talking.

"You bunch of bread-eating bastards, don't come begging! Even if you kneel down, I can only give you bones! Slurp slurp slurp—"

"you!"

Snapped.

Bogi was about to say that this person was probably cursed.

As a result, the team captains saw a white figure land by the light of their torches.

They looked down and saw it was a rib belonging to a young animal.

Bogi looked up and shouted at the top of the wall with his spear.

"You son of a bitch—"

"Try saying it again!"

Five wandering soldiers on the wall raised their crossbows with one hand and aimed them at him.

Several captains of soldiers around Zivan also raised their spears towards the top of the wall!

Seeing this, Ziwan reached out and patted the captains on the shoulder.

"calm."

Several team leaders were shaken by his slap.

They glanced at Zwan but did not lower their spears.

Ziwan then walked over to Bogi and tugged at him twice before he finally put down his spear.

"snort."

Bogi walked away holding the torch.

The soldiers kept their eyes on the wall until Zwan and Boki walked up behind them, then they turned around and followed.

"That's right! Even those savage losers know the situation. You all better keep your eyes open from now on!"

The wandering soldiers on the wall continued to shout.

The wandering soldiers on the wall continued to shout.

Ziwan glanced back, then continued walking away.

Only after they disappeared around the corner did the five wandering soldiers on the wall lower their unloaded crossbows.

"team leader……"

One of the soldiers spoke hesitantly.

"Do we really need to be so harsh?"

Isn't that too hurtful?

The captain turned and glanced at him, then looked at the other team members beside him.

"Remember this: Lord Gaimour and that undignified fellow are at odds. We can't afford to be nice to him."

"And we can't let these locals look down on us. From now on, if we see them, we'll fight them if we can, and if we can't, we'll verbally abuse them. We not only have to suppress them, but we also have to chase after them and beat them up."

"With Lord Gaimur backing us up, there's nothing to fear!"

"Gurgle—"

Several wandering soldiers swallowed hard.

They remembered the scruffy-looking guy from earlier.

Even though that's what I said, that guy's gaze just now was like he was looking at a dead person...

"Those stray dogs started barking!"

"They can actually eat meat!"

"These guys aren't worried about never having access to good stuff in their lives!"

The several soldier captains were furious.

They were all from artisan families, and they were always the ones being flattered. How dare a few rogue soldiers be so arrogant!

When those guys' shoes break, their clothes come undone, their bowls break when they eat, their tools break as soon as they use them, and their houses collapse when it snows, then they'll behave themselves!

"There's still a long way to go."

Ziwang's words brought a knowing smile to everyone's faces.

They returned to their respective teams.

Ziwang walked up to the top of the outer wall.

The soldiers standing guard here are also from the town.

They all recognized Zwan.

After circling the north corner tower, Zivan walked south.

"Didn't you just keep watch yesterday? Why are you on watch again today?"

On the outer wall, soldiers in the southwest and southeast corners glanced outside and walked over to Zwan for a chat.

"Gaimul said we didn't fulfill our responsibilities yesterday, and we're being punished by having to keep guarding today."

"He was the one who told us to get plenty of rest, and said we were going to get together today to do something big."

"In the end, nothing was accomplished."

After glancing at the two complaining people, Ziwan spoke up.

"I haven't slept for the past two days, so I'll take a nap here. You guys keep watch for the first half of the night, and I'll keep watch for the second half. If I fall asleep, just call someone to rescue me."

The two soldiers nodded.

Some people who don't sleep for several days in a row never wake up again.

Ziwang went to sleep, and was then woken up in the middle of the night.

"How about we split up and stay with you for a while?"

Ziwang shook his head at the soldier's offer of help.

"Go to sleep. It won't make a difference if a few more people guard this gate."

Thinking of the current state of the gate, both soldiers smirked.

After they came down from the wall, Ziwang looked at the moon with boredom.

However, the moon also moved westward over the mountains and disappeared from view.

He saw a light appear in the south.
