"Oh? You're not timid, but it doesn't sound like you're bragging."
Field was delighted.

"That is, in more than a year, I will be an adult, and I want to be a female knight." Alexia puffed up her chest proudly, looking at the scale that did not look like she was about to become an adult at all, she swelled up and put her hands on her hips, "So now Need to practice."
"Young people are full of energy."
Field suddenly realized that he had just come of age.
Maybe because of teaching them, they always have the illusion that they are old people.
"Put away your nail clippers. The most they can do is tickle the corpses."
Handing out a crossbow, Field handed it to Alexia: "Use this, it's powerful."
"Sir, I want to kill people, but I don't want to shoot arrows." The girl pushed with both hands and refused bluntly.
Field unexpectedly looked up and down, gestured at his height and said, "But with your physique, it might be a little difficult."
"I have team members to help, right, Wormwood?" Turning to look at her best friend, Alexia's sky-blue eyes were full of hope, "Dear Wormwood, please help hold up the rotting corpse."
"Haha." Wu Ai silently took two steps back and awkwardly quoted scriptures and said: "It would be unwise to not use the crossbow if you have one. I will not help someone who has lost his mind."
"Then...Lumi." Alexia looked at the cat girl Lumi.
"Meow meow meow, I don't understand Smecta." Lumi looked at her feet as if she didn't know what she was talking about. "Wow, this land is really huge."
"A bunch of traitors." Alexia covered her face helplessly.
Best friend friendships are so plastic, Field was amused by them.
"Forget it, let me help you."
Field whistled softly, and the two remaining carrion corpses in the distance immediately turned their heads and charged at them with bared teeth.
With the knife in hand, Field sliced off the head of a rotting corpse, raised his foot, and kicked the belly of another rotting corpse.
With the power of a second-level fighting spirit knight, even without fighting spirit, he could kick a rotten corpse to the point of paralysis.
"Crack!"
Hearing the sound of bones exploding, the rotten corpse knelt on the ground.
Striding forward, Field cut off the carrion's hand and smashed his teeth into pieces.
"Okay, the rest is up to you."
"Huh? This is no longer challenging." Alexia complained bitterly.
"You try it first, then talk nonsense."
Field didn't want anything unexpected to happen.
Putting the long sword in Alexia's hand, she immediately showed off her sword skillfully: "I have been training hard, little rotten corpse, nothing to mention."
The courses in the territory not only include reading and writing, but also learning combat skills from the army.
After saying that, she clenched the sword with both hands, and her throat kept swallowing. It could be seen that she was not calm at the moment.
"Go to hell!"
Alexia raised her long sword straight, as if holding a lance, and used her own strength to sprint forward.
She had the blood of a Griffin Empire member and a fierce fighter in her bones, and there was an inexplicable excitement in her heart that was almost crazy.
However, the rotten corpse was not a scarecrow in the training ground. Alexia missed the target with her sword and slammed into the rotten corpse's chest.
Raising her head, the little girl saw at a glance the corpse's pale eyes, its terrifying face covered with rotten flesh, and its empty mouth with blood constantly dripping from it.
This scene almost scared Alexia to the point of peeing, and the coldness rushed to her head.
"Bang!"
The wight waved its arms wildly and hit Alexia on the head with its elbow.
"It hurts so much." The little girl burst into tears. She covered the swelling on her head with her left hand and exclaimed.
Fortunately, his palm was cut off by Field, otherwise the blow would have been a laceration caused by the claws. Without anyone to treat him, he would have died.
"Hiss~"
Like a rotting dog, her elbow pressed against Alexia's long white skirt. The girl hurriedly distanced herself from her, causing the hem of her skirt to tear open, revealing her snow-white calves.
"???"
Field was stunned.
There's something wrong with this development, it always feels like a defeat animation is loading.
Fortunately, Alexia managed to distance herself, gasping for breath, raised her sword, and slashed at the approaching carrion.
The fight between the girl and the corpse was back and forth.
During this period, Field and Tisifa wanted to take action several times, but finally held back.
"Pfft!"
The girl, who gradually became familiar with the tricks of the rotten corpse, dodged the attack, stabbed the long sword in her hand into the back of the rotten corpse's head, and then pierced it out of its eye socket.
The rotten corpse twitched twice, disgusting and sticky blood gushed out from the wound, and then stopped moving.
"Huhu~"
The girl, who looked like a clay monkey, breathed like a bellows. After taking a long breath, she happily made a victory gesture: "I did it."
"Well done, I believe you will become the pride of the Night Leader." Field was not stingy with his compliments. "Now, go clean yourself up and don't eat the corrupt secretions."
"yes!"
After Alexia changed her clothes and washed her face and hands, everyone set off again.
It took more than a whole day to arrive at the only iron ore cave in Night Territory.
This place was used by Rosalia to hide the keys. Since it was some distance away from the large manor, Field did not have the strength to occupy it before, leaving an important resource point abandoned until now.
"We need iron more and more now, whether it's for ordnance or production."
Field felt bald when he thought about the sky-high price of equipment outside.
Fighting energy slowly spread out, and Field could feel that he was surrounded by high-quality iron ore. As long as he started collecting it, the industrialization process of Night Territory would be greatly accelerated.
"This is too far from the territory. It will take at least two months to extend the territory here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of conversation alerted the rotting corpses in the mine, and they roared and rushed towards them.
"Please rest in peace!"
The wings were chopped out, and Tisifa's sharp feathers shot out quickly, piercing into the carrion that rushed towards him.
The power of holy light contained in the feathers exploded, directly igniting the corpse into a white fireball.
"Well done." Field gave a thumbs up and gave Tisifa a thumbs up before riding a horse and jumping up the high slope nearby. "We don't have that much time to follow the steps and build a dual-purpose outpost here for mining and reconnaissance." , just according to the experience of the salt mine, the mined ore is piled here, and the fleet is sent to pick it up regularly. "
"It would be very dangerous. People in the salt mine can hide in mountains or caves when encountering a wave of corpses, but the terrain here is flat, and the mine needs people to manage it." Tisifa was worried.
She flew back to Field: "As long as the rotting corpses discover your mining team, they will be eaten immediately. But if a large number of troops are stationed like the salt mine, what will happen to Starry Night City and the large manor."
The stalls are getting bigger and bigger, and the defensive force is beginning to be stretched thin.
"Yes, we can only circle the resource points and transport slaves to build the wooden fortress first. After it is completed, appoint the chosen ones to garrison it."
