On this day, the sky was slightly lit up, the sun had not yet risen, and the crow of cocks had just begun in Maike Village in the distance.

Horst Knight had arrived at the training ground early and started morning training with his players.

"drink!"

"ha!"

First, each person slashed their swords a hundred times. At that time, bursts of shouting came from the training ground.

Later, Knight Horst arranged for everyone to practice sparring. They had to fight with real swords. If they were injured, they would go to Dr. Lim.

This gave Lim a severe headache, and people came to his medical room every day to seek treatment.

In the castle study, Ryan heard the familiar sound of exercising and knew it was Horst doing morning exercises again.

In the first few days, Kane thought he was just here to show off. After all, the other party told him at the time that he was here to help him train.

Who would have thought that before Kane's troops started practicing, Horst's own troops were actually doing it very well, and it had been going on for a whole month.

Kane stood in front of the window, looking at the figure training hard below. He didn't know what kind of attention Horst was paying.

Especially a few days before I left the medical room, the other person's eyes when he came to visit me had a different feeling.

Kane shook his head. It would be better to try not to have any conflicts at the moment.

My own strength is simply not able to compete with the opponent's. Moreover, my troops were severely damaged a month ago, and now I only have slightly more troops in my territory than the opponent.

Just as he was weighing the difference with Horst, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Kane, who knew the identity of the knocker, said.

Afterwards, Marcus and Catherine walked into the study.

Catherine, who had an impatient personality, bowed and immediately asked: "Sir, what on earth is Horst doing? He has been staying in our territory for a month."

Kane frowned, sighed and said, "This is also one of the reasons why I summoned you here this time."

"I thought we could live in peace during this period, but it seems I was overthinking it."

Marcus also speculated on the side: "Sir, with his current strength, if he wants to rob Eagle Fort..."

"Indeed, it is possible. Marcus, we will arrange for people to strengthen the defense of the castle in the near future." Kane nodded in approval of this statement.

"Yes, sir."

After giving orders to Marcus, Kane turned to Catherine and asked: "What happened to the recruitment of new soldiers and pensions that I told you earlier?"

"Sir, I have gone to Maiko Village and recruited 23 villagers who are willing to join the army. They all meet the range of 20 to 35 years old that you proposed."

"In addition, all pensions have been distributed to the families of those who died in the war."

After hearing Catherine's answer, Kane said with relief: "Very good."

In this way, the vacancies can be filled. The soldiers who died in the previous battle have been lost, but it will take a while to train new recruits.

Marcus, who was thinking for a moment, asked again: "Sir, will the banquet be held as usual tonight?"

Just when Kane wanted to answer this question, the door to the study room was suddenly opened.

Horst actually walked in openly without informing Kane and others in advance.

"What's wrong, are you in a meeting? I didn't disturb you, did I?" Horst asked apologetically.

Kane smiled and said: "There is no need to disturb me. It just so happens that, Uncle Hoster, we are discussing the plan for the evening banquet. Do you have any opinions?"

Horst shook his head: "I don't have any suggestions, Kane. You can decide for yourself. I will come back to you later."

After saying that, he walked out of the room, leaving only Kane and the others standing there in shock.

Catherine, who had regained her composure, said angrily: "This guy shows no mercy to adults. He comes and leaves whenever he wants."

Marcus also agreed and said: "It is true, sir, he wants to destroy your prestige in our minds."

Kane thought thoughtfully and said: "It would be okay if it were just these small actions, but I'm afraid he is planning something big. Marcus, Catherine, we need to be vigilant at all times at the banquet tonight."

"Yes, sir."

Afterwards, the three-person council was dissolved. Marcus and Catherine went to the barracks to train new recruits, while Kane was doing morning exercises at the Lord's training ground.

The time has come in the afternoon.

In the study room of the castle, Kane was at the desk, reviewing important documents in the territory.

During the month in the medical room, Kane basically handled these documents through his butler Jace, and today he was finally able to review them in person.

Suddenly, the door to the study room was opened again.

Knight Horst walked in rashly, looking at Kane as if he had something to say.

It seems that this person is still maintaining his slightly careless persona.

Since the opponent wants to make a show, Kane cannot admit defeat.

He touched his forehead helplessly and said, "Uncle Hoster, is this the same when you go to Count Manvido?"

Horst was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, our Young Master Kane is also in a mood." After saying that, Horst saluted him, "Please, Lord Baron Kane, forgive me for being rude."

"No...that's not what I meant...Eh..." Kane, a little helpless, waved his hand quickly.

Immediately, Kane asked again: "....Uncle, what are you doing here this time?"

Horst put away his playful expression and sought Kane's opinion: "Kane, I came here this time to see that your injury is almost healed, so I came to ask you for training soldiers."

"So that's what happened. If uncle, you want to train new recruits, I will naturally be willing to do it. Let's start tomorrow. I will tell Catherine."

Horst nodded with satisfaction: "Well, the training can be started as early as possible. Tomorrow I will take the new recruits to train with my team."

After seeing that the matter was finished, Horst walked out of the study alone again, not taking Kane's previous complaints seriously at all.

Kane in the study couldn't calm down for a long time after Horst left.

Kane thought about Horst's purpose in doing this. Did he intend to start with military power? He had to remind Catherine.

........

Night, Eagle Castle.

In order to celebrate the successful crusade against the Goblin tribe, Kane held a banquet in his territory, and he invited all the soldiers and nobles to attend.

Steward Geese divided the banquet venue into two. The soldiers mainly ate in the living room, while the nobles and extraordinary people stayed in the dining room.

Outside the castle, soldiers came one after another to attend the dinner. They were either playing a tune happily or chatting with their companions.

Soon, it was time for the banquet, and the living room was filled with invited soldiers. They were holding wine glasses and bragging to each other about the past.

At this moment, Kane led Catherine and Marcus to the center of the living room.

Kane coughed slightly and said loudly: "Welcome everyone to attend tonight's feast."

"A toast to our successful battle against the goblins."

"Toast!!" the soldiers cheered.

"A toast to our fallen brothers."

"Toast!!" seemed to be moved by the scene, and many soldiers' eyes turned red.

After pouring a handful of red wine into his mouth, Kane continued.

"Enjoy the feast tonight, everyone."

After saying that, he took Catherine and Marcus out of the living room.
