There wasn’t any moonlight tonight. Dark clouds covered the sky. From time to time, there was a flash of light, signaling that it was going to rain.

Lucas stood next to the window in the study room and looked at the dark sky. Nicole, Mina, and Annie were behind him.

Mina looked at Nicole with questions in her eyes. Lucas had been like that for half an hour already, and she was afraid that kind Lucas would feel guilty.

Nicole shook her head. She knew that Lucas had many plans and wasn’t feeling guilty at all. Lucas was just thinking about a few things.

Annie had a lollipop in her mouth, which she had snatched from Mina. She tilted her head and looked at Mina and Nicole and then looked at Lucas. She had a feeling that these three had a complex relationship.

Time passed by slowly. No one said anything.

"Knock knock."

A knock interrupted the silence. After getting permission to come in, Ben walked into the study room.

"Clang Clang." 

Ben had worn his armor. Tonight would be the first time that the City Lord’s Mansion would use its troops. Even if he didn’t have to personally be in the battle, he still had to be prepared for it.

Chain mail was the main kind of armor in this era.

Ben wore an advanced type of chain mail. The whole armor was made with thin iron plates put together.

That armor was something that only knights of high nobles could afford to wear. It was very expensive and required an expert blacksmith half a year to make one set of that armor.

The armor could protect a knight in every aspect and was only about 15 kg, which was pretty light. However, the armor’s general defensive ability was bad and could easily be broken by a swing of a sword.

However, this armor was one of the best armors in this era, as it can perfectly block arrows.

Of course, the premise was that they didn’t encounter Lucas’s army. Equipped with recurve bows, crossbows, and specially made arrows, they could make the knight's question their lives.

There was no such thing as heavy armor in this era. All the armor was light armor. Lucas had told people to make plated armor based on some of the ancient armors from Earth.

“Young master, The War Wolves have finished preparing. They can strike at any time. They are just waiting for your order.” Ben said.

“What about the locations of those people? No news has been leaked, right?” Lucas asked.

“Nope. They didn’t notice at all.” Ben said, killing intent flashing in his eyes.

“Then let them attack. Some bugs need to be killed.” Lucas said, waving his hand.

“Understood.” Ben said, saluting. He walked away to keep an eye on them. He couldn’t let those rookies make mistakes and let Lucas down.

“Young master, do you want me to go as well?” Mina asked. She had been affected by the atmosphere.

Lucas shook his head and smiled lightly. “They’re all just weaklings good for war wolves to use as practice targets. Letting you move would overestimate them.”

“Hm.” Mina didn’t really wanted to go anyways.

The War Wolves were fully armed and ready to move in the military camp. They were waiting for the order.

"Clang Clang." 

The sound of iron armor clashing came, making Chris and the others become highly focused.

Ben came in front of the eight people. He said, “You guys know what to do for tonight’s mission. Do not disappoint Young Master.”

The eight of them were silent, but the killing intent they were emitting showed their determination.

“The targets information are here. You have only 10 minutes to prepare.”

Ben gave a document to Chris, which had the targets information and what to do with them. Giving them the information right before they started was also a test.

Chris took the document silently and immediately looked at it.

10 minutes soon passed, and they burned the documents. They organized their equipment again and left the military camp.

Ben took out a watch from his pocket. After looking at the time on it, he carefully put it back in his pocket and patted it gently.

The watch was something Lucas had given him. To Ben, it was a divine item that could accurately tell the time, and he would not sell it for a thousand gold coins.

Lucas gave him his life, so his life was Lucas’s.

'Why are people never satisfied? To even go after the Young Master, you must not want to live.' Ben waved his hand as he looked at the black sky. Several figures silently slipped into the darkness.

He learned the idea of having a backup plan from Lucas. If the War Wolves failed, these people would complete the job for them.
