Is that Sofia?

Saru rubbed his eyes, seemingly unable to believe what he was seeing, and the other lizardmen around him were no different.

Almost all the lizardmen recognized this half-elf loli and knew that she had two strong ogre servants under her command.

But now there was a whole group of ogres following her.

Although the ogres didn’t seem to be attacking, their eyes were not friendly when they looked over here.

To most ogres, lizardmen were nothing more than slightly tougher prey.

So even though they recognized Sofia, in this situation, Saru was reluctant to approach easily, not knowing whether the ogres across from him would suddenly strike.

When Saru didn’t respond for a while, Sofia simply patted Mega Fatty’s head, and the ogre grinned and walked alone to Saru.

Under Saru’s gesture commands, none of the lizardmen dared to make any suspicious moves.

Sitting on Mega Fatty, Sofia looked down at the old lizardman with a puzzled expression, “Weren’t you fighting the Red Dragon? Why did you come back?”

Saru performed a salute and respectfully said, “Your Highness, the Green Dragon has won this war, and we were preparing to return home…”

“The war is over?”

Sofia was somewhat skeptical when she first heard this news. After waiting for a triple confirmation and getting the same answer, the loli was dumbfounded…

She had just gathered a bunch of ogres and was ready to rush to the frontline to help Otto, but when she had only traveled halfway, she was told it was over?

Sofia angrily smashed her fist on Mega Fatty’s forehead, but the ogre was already used to the loli’s sudden attacks.

His only reaction to this was to scratch the itch from the punch.

Suddenly, the little loli stared at the direction of the lizardmen, seeming to look for something.

Then she asked, “Where’s Big Dragon, I don’t see him, didn’t he go join the fun too?”

“I think His Majesty should have already returned to his territory…”

Saru answered truthfully, and then there was a moment of silence. Both parties guessed what had happened, it seemed Sofia and Otto had just missed each other.

In the end, it was Saru who asked first, “Your Highness, who are those ogres?”

He had been eyeing those ogres for a long time, and the lizardmen behind him were also tense, fearing they might do something.

“Oh, they are my newly recruited followers. Don’t worry, without my permission, they won’t dare do anything!”

Sofia rolled her eyes, “Oh right, what do they call themselves…”

The little loli seemed to forget the word, she patted the ogre’s head she was sitting on, and Mega Fatty proudly shouted, “Fireball Clan!”

Saru breathed a sigh of relief, then looked puzzled at Sofia, “Did you name them?”

The little loli shook her head, “They came up with it themselves…”

The old lizardman suddenly found this unbelievable.

The Lizardman Clan had been inherited in the Nolan Forest for hundreds of years, and they had never thought of giving a name to the clan. They had always been called the Lizardman Clan.

But now, a group of ogres had named their own clan?

Somehow, Saru felt somewhat lost and wondered whether he should also give the Lizardman Clan a nice name or bother Otto about it when he got back home.Sofia didn’t know what Saru was thinking, she just held her forehead.

Then, she said helplessly, “Even though they can’t speak clearly, every one of them can smoothly say the names of their clans. I don’t know what kind of brains these idiots have.”

Mega Fatty was still smiling innocently, having put a lot of effort into this on their way.

At this moment, the Lizardmen in the back suddenly became restless, and it seemed as if they could hear a few wolf howls from afar.

A Lizardman hurried over, looking at Saru and Sofia, clearly hesitating.

Under Saru’s gaze, the Lizardman respectfully said to Sofia, “Your Highness, there is a group of werewolves riding dire wolves harassing us from behind. The dire wolves are very fast, and we can’t catch up with them, so we can only defend passively.”

“Werewolf? Is there a difference between them and gnolls?”

Sofia looked at Saru, who quickly explained, “There is a significant difference between the two. Werewolves are generally much stronger than gnolls and have bigger and stronger bodies.”

“But they are also greedy and brutal, and they like to raise dire wolves as mounts. Few monster races in Nolan Forest can catch up with their wolf cavalry.”

“Take me to see!”

Sofia became interested, and Saru didn’t refuse. With so many Ogres here, even Wolf Cavalry couldn’t cause any trouble.

However, werewolves were not only stronger than gnolls, but also smarter. They did not blindly hit the Lizardman formation.

Instead, the wolf cavalry used the dire wolves’ mobility to circle the edge, looking for opportunities.

At first, some Lizardmen would throw javelins at the wolf cavalry, but after no results were gained, they gave up on this approach.

The number of javelins was limited, and if they were wasted without any effect, the Lizardmen would have to engage in close combat with the wolves once the cavalry charged.

If that happened, it would be difficult to achieve a good outcome due to the high mobility of the wolf cavalry.

After noticing that the Lizardmen had stopped attacking from a distance, the wolf cavalry began to slowly approach their formation.

They all held crude hand crossbows, and their loose bolt attacks caused some minor trouble for the Lizardmen.

Most of the bolts were blocked by the front-row Lizardmen using their tortoise shields, but some of the higher-angled bolts flew into the rear and injured a few unlucky ones.

Under these circumstances, the Lizardmen could only take it passively.

Just as the wolf cavalry was about to do something, a fireball left a red trail in the air and eventually hit a wolf cavalryman who was reloading his hand crossbow.

The unfortunate fellow screamed and fell off the dire wolf’s back, soon silenced. The dire wolf, having lost its owner, licked its body and let out a mournful howl.

A one-eared werewolf seemed to be the leader of this group. He howled a few times as if sending a signal.

One of the wolf cavalry quickly picked up the body of their comrade, and then they all began to retreat rapidly, soon disappearing on their dire wolves.

The werewolf’s decisive retreat left Sofia somewhat disappointed, as she originally wanted to test her newly-developed spells further.

Watching the werewolves’ retreat, Sofia asked, “Are they also underlings of the Green Dragon?”

Saru shook his head, “I have not seen them in the Thorn Legion.”

With just one sentence, Sofia lost interest. Right now, all she wanted to do was go home to find the Red Dragon.

At the same time, she was worried that he might punish her for sneaking away.

However, seeing the surrounding Ogres, she felt reassured. With such a massive gift, the Red Dragon shouldn’t be angry, right?
