"I'm so pissed, the Man-Eating Tree got away again!"
Emily swung the Crimson Blood Sword fiercely, her face filled with frustration. She had been tracking the Man-Eating Tree Cluster for a long time, delaying even the construction of Charcoal River Great Road, and yet she still hadn't completed the mission.
Just a moment ago, they had found a group of Man-Eating Trees; however, they were startled by the horses' footsteps and burrowed away, leaving not a single one behind.
"Viscount, what should we do?" asked a Knight Captain assisting Emily in her search for the Man-Eating Trees.
Taking a deep breath to soothe her irritation, Emily replied, "Continue the tracking. This is an urgent mission assigned by His Highness, and we must capture these Man-Eating Trees at any cost. Next time, our movements must be lighter—inform everyone to wrap their horse hooves with burlap."
"Yes, Viscount."
