The news of the lumberyard battle's victory quickly spread to Bay Village.
The somewhat nervous villagers relaxed and confidently said to the newcomers:
"I told you there's no need to worry, My Lord and the soldiers will surely win!"
"What are Jackalweres anyway? My Lord even brought a dragon!"
"I heard Captain Sean say that clearing out the various monsters in the Shadowy Forest is just the first step of My Lord's development..."
"Victory is certain, but I heard there are many Jackalweres. I wonder if the casualties will be high..."
"That shouldn't be the case, My Lord is very good to his soldiers, they have all sorts of high-quality weapons and equipment, plus alchemical potions..."
"We'll know when they come back..."
"..."
Butler Ralph, who had already received the detailed report, also breathed a sigh of relief and felt an immense admiration and emotion for My Lord's decision to prioritize the development of military power.
