The villagers saw Jichen returning with his army. Subconsciously, they greeted him, but when they saw the injured soldiers, they became puzzled. And when they noticed the bodies of more than ten pirates on the ground, their confusion grew even deeper.
"Lord, what is this all about?" one of the villagers asked, unable to contain his curiosity.
"Find a flat area and have a few people bury these pirates," Jichen shook his head and said without further explanation.
The villagers saw that he was in a bad mood and didn't inquire further. They greeted him and began to move the bodies.
Upon hearing the news of their return, Anina ran out of the house with a look of surprise, holding a roasted meat leg in her hand. But when she saw the scene, she too was taken aback.
