The wooden gate of Frost Leaf Town creaked in the cold wind, as snowflakes as small as rice grains fell gently.
Luo De stood at the gate with Durant, Xue Rui, and others, watching the approaching procession.
The soldiers, weary after days of marching, still moved with a steady step, displaying the air of an army.
Rather than moving like scattered, chaotic caravan guards and robbers.
"It seems the discipline training has been effective."
Luo De casually commented.
Durant nodded in response, "At least we didn't embarrass you."
Gang Le, taking the lead, quickly walked up to Lord Luo De and knelt on one knee,
"Good day, esteemed Lord, thank you for personally receiving us."
Gang Le's voice was calm, his face devoid of his usual jesting, and he reported solemnly,
"Lord, as per your orders, the Lizardmen near Razor Plain have been completely eliminated."
"A total of twenty-six, twenty-two bodies, four prisoners have been brought back."
"Hmm, well done."
