However, at that moment, the citizens were apparently unable to bear it anymore.
They sent a representative, that youth who had been riling up the people.
He proudly approached the castle and loudly yelled, “We want to meet Sir Overlord!”
“We want to know the territory’s current situation. Return us our food. Greedy and treacherous woman, if you don’t agree to our requests…”
He hadn’t finished his words when a burst of wind arrived from the sky!
A shadow suddenly dropped from the sky, landing next to the youth.
A cold light flashed.
Marvin turned, two daggers in hands, not caring about the body falling behind him.
He coldly watched the instigated populace:
“Are you rebelling?”

“Overlord!”
“Lord Marvin!”
The deceived people were suddenly astonished!
Marvin’s way of appearing was too shocking. He used the Wishful Rope to jump down from the back of the Great Eagle.
He then decisively beheaded the troublemaker.
Everyone was dumbfoundedly looking at Marvin.
Was that their Overlord who was always polite and amiable?
This was totally a ferocious killer!
“I’ll ask again.”
Marvin unhurriedly took a step forward, “Are you rebelling?”
They all retreated three steps!
He was standing on the narrow bridge with his young body, but in everyone’s eyes, his presence had an incredible deterring power!
This was the power of nobility.
Noble skill – [Dignity]!
The rule of Marvin’s family had been deeply etched in his people’s hearts for a long time. When Marvin wasn’t here, people might be easily bewitched.
But when Marvin appeared, especially in such a spectacular way, everyone would immediately sober up.
What were they doing?
Gather under the castle to cause trouble? Wasn’t it rebelling?
Territories under the South Wizard Alliance’s rule had a very severe punishment for rebels!
Death by hanging!
There was no room for discussion.
The majority of the people cowered. They were simply fooled by the rumors and the lies. When Marvin appeared, they lost their thoughts about causing trouble.
Of course, there were also some troublemakers hidden among them.
Someone suddenly yelled, “But we have no food!”
“We want to eat!”
Marvin stared at that guy standing out with the eyes of a predator.
It was a thin guy who looked like a monkey. He wasn’t too old, but his eyes were bright.
“You. Come.” Marvin calmly said.
That man hid behind someone and slowly said, “Lord Marvin, we really aren’t thinking of rebelling, we only want to eat.”
“I know, thus I ask you to come.”
Marvin put away his curved daggers and showed his empty hands to everyone before saying, “I put away my daggers.”
“I guarantee that if you aren’t a spy sent by the enemy, I won’t harm you.”
That man hesitated, even if Marvin said that, he could still feel killing intent in Marvin’s eyes!
He cowered.
“Let’s forget about it, since Sir has returned, we…”
He was forcefully interrupted by Marvin.
“Drag him to me!” Marvin glanced at a few villagers and bellowed.
The other guys immediately nodded, and pushed that thin monkey-like man until he was in front of Marvin.
“You said you were hungry, you didn’t have food, so you were causing troubles.”
Marvin put his hands on that man’s shoulders and grabbed him tightly, “Are you telling the truth?”
“I swear!” Somewhat panicking, he said in a loud voice, “We are really too hungry… We have no money, it has been stolen by those gnolls!”
“Good,” Marvin sneered.
His hand flashed inside that man’s jacket pocket, instantly pulling out a money pouch!
He opened the pouch and the sound of many silvers falling to the ground could be heard!
That man was dumbfounded! He clearly remembered having nothing in his pocket.
And the others were extremely shocked!
They had greedy looks, and when they were looking at that monkey-like man, they were also full of doubts and anger!
Didn’t this guy say that they had no money to eat?
With so many silvers in his pocket, he could easily buy food.
This money could buy a lot of provisions in River Shore City.
“Swindler!” Marvin didn’t leave the thin man a chance to open his mouth and directly shouted angrily!
He pulled out his dagger and killed!
Blood flew everywhere.
Everyone thoroughly calmed down.
“A swindler,” Marvin angrily said, “This fucker was a swindler!”
“Haven’t you seen it? Someone has bribed him to deceive you! Indeed, the granary was burnt, but it was the work of our enemies!”
“He wants to take over White River Valley, thus he made this rebellion plot.”
Marvin coldly concluded, “Now, I order you as the Overlord, return to your homes!”
“The food issue will be solved within a week.”
“I guarantee you this as White River Valley’s Overlord.”
[Dignity] was used once again!
The majority of the people retreated, leaving with an ashamed face.
But at that time, the castle gates which were shut suddenly opened with a creaking sound.
A sneaky shadow flashed out, seeming to have felt something wrong!
Marvin took a big step forward and began to sprint!
He was still wearing that pair of Thunder Fairy Boots. Hanzel had generously given this Magic Item to Marvin as a gift!
Marvin instantly rushed to the castle gates and grabbed that person, revealing a very unfamiliar face full of surprise!
The Wishful Rope quietly bound him.
The people who were about to go down the hill looked back at that scene in surprise. They managed to see Marvin carrying a garrison member under the faint light of the torches!
At that time, Anna and the others were welcoming him.
“Lord Marvin!” Andre and the other garrison members excitedly greeted him.
Marvin’s strong performance made them extremely shocked.
And the most important part was that they knew, with Marvin’s return, the territory wouldn’t become chaotic!
“Who is this person?” Marvin asked while holding that guy.
Andre’s expression changed, “This is a recruit who had been accepted in the garrison a few days ago…”
“A spy!” Anger flashed through Anna’s eyes. “He is definitely the one who burnt the granary!”
“And he now wanted to take advantage of the situation and open the gates to let those troublemakers in?”
Marvin looked at that man, and the latter said in a low voice, “I merely saw Lord Marvin return and wanted to open the door to welcome…”
But before he could finish his sentence, Marvin kicked the ground!
And an ice cold light shone as Marvin made an imposing slash, directly cutting off this man’s head!
The bloody head rolled on the stone bridge before ending up in the moat.
“This is how a spy ends!” Marvin suddenly raised his voice, his foot kicking that headless body into the moat!
The remaining civilians’ hearts turned cold. They no longer lingered and returned to their homes one after the other.
Only the garrison, Anna, and a few others remained in front of the castle.
“Young Master… You finally came back.” Anna bit her lips. If ther
e weren’t so many people present, she might have cried out.
She was very smart and capable, but she wasn’t this territory’s Overlord.
She had suffered a lot during Marvin’s absence, there were too many rumors slandering her.
Marvin gently embraced Anna, comforting her, “It’s all right.”
But an obnoxious voice suddenly came from the side:
“How could you embrace Miss Anna so casually?”
“Even if you are this territory’s Overlord, you shouldn’t be this rude!”
Marvin frowned. He had been killing quite heavily today, but he hadn’t reached the point where he would kill without reason.
He immediately pointed at that guy and asked, “Who is this guy dressed up like a peacock?”
Everyone turned silent for a moment.
They then all burst out laughing.
Even Anna who had always avoided showing her emotions in public couldn’t help but laugh to the point of crying.
Because what Marvin said was truly accurate! The man who claimed to the the Greatest Alchemist in all History was wearing extremely luxurious clothes, but the color coordination was truly… well, underwhelming.
At night, under the light of the fire, he really looked like a peacock!
That man retorted angrily, “What did you say? Are you questioning my clothing tastes? I request a duel!”
“Duel my ass!” Marvin impatiently said, “This lord is still busy killing, I don’t have free time!”
He coldly glanced at that man. “This is my territory, know your place.”
He immediately told Anna a few things. Mainly to appease the citizens’ mood, and then strengthen the remaining food’s defense.
“What about you?” Anna displayed a surprised expression after he was done talking, “Are you planning to leave again?”
“Tonight,” Marvin emotionlessly replied. “I can’t allow people to keep provoking my bottom line.”
He then headed down the mountain without looking back.
The peacock man remarked in a very bad mood, “Ridiculous Overlord! Something like killing, why would he do it himself? Miss Anna there is an issue with your eyes.”
“Shut up!” Everyone angrily shouted.
The peacock man was startled and immediately didn’t dare to say anything else. He hadn’t expected that Marvin’s status in the eyes of these people would be so high!
…
The night wind whistled past his ear.
Marvin seemed as fast as lightning.
The darkness of the night was heaven for the Night Walker.
Tonight he wanted to kill.
Kill in the night!
Regardless of Toshiroya’s goals and reasons, he had already thoroughly angered Marvin.
The last person who touched Marvin’s bottom line was White, and he had died.
Now it was this noble who came from some northern city.
Marvin had put on a layer of protective clothing and was running quietly in the night.
…
Half an hour later, not far from a small hill’s ledge.
Marvin was quietly readying himself.
The Phantom Assassin Amber had also been waiting.
On that ledge was an incomplete temporary camp.
In the camp were roughly twenty men. At least half were 2nd rank Fighters, and in addition, there was a 2nd rank Sorcerer. This Sorcerer’s status was very high, as he had a tent for himself.
Toshiroya himself was a 2nd rank Swordsman, and he had two Barbarian [Wasteland Warriors] as guards.
This was the information Amber had gathered.
‘A group of 2nd rank class holders to take over a small White River Valley, it obviously should be enough.’ Marvin sneered.
Unfortunately, you met me.
…
Amber came over and whispered, “Lord Marvin, when are we moving?”
“No hurry.” Marvin focused on something, and soon, a flare flew from the forest.
That was one of the adventurers pretending to be a citizen!
He had returned to inform Toshiroya.
“Kill him first.” Marvin pointed at that man.
The Phantom Assassin nodded, and suddenly disappeared on the spot.
As for Marvin, he used Stealth and directly walked toward the camp!

___
T/N: Camp isn’t in a cave, it’s something like an hollow area in the mountain, ledge to keep it simple.
___
It was deep in the night, and more than half of the people in the camp were already asleep.
Most of the Fighters didn’t have their own tent, and instead were crammed in one big tent, sleeping while snoring and jostling about.
In the deepest part of the camp was a tent that was still lit. Two figures could faintly be seen still in an intense struggle.
The silhouette that was below had a hot body, to the point that even just seeing the shadow through the tent would leave people lost in fanciful thoughts.
A total of four people were standing guard, with three guarding out in the open and one hidden.
Marvin simply took a trip round the camp to get specific information.
Night Walker’s strong points were finally displayed. In the wilderness during the night, his Stealth could even be stronger than that of the best Thieves!
The Archer in charge of scouting didn’t even notice anything when he circled the camp.
This was the power of the Night Monarch’s blessings!
…
“Lord, it’s done.” Amber quietly approached.
There was another Phantom Assassin on the other side. Agate had also arrived after Marvin’s summons.
The three were top class assassins, facing an entire camp.
Generally speaking, their chances would be very slim against so many opponents of the same rank.
But Marvin was confident.
“First I’ll go and deal with that Archer.”
“After those three discover the Archer’s death, they’ll need a moment to react. That is our chance!”
“After I kill him, we each deal with one visible sentry. Understood?”
Marvin whispered his plan, hidden in a thicket.
As a former legendary player, Marvin was not only good at soloing, but also skillful in leading and strategizing!
Phantom Assassins were good at assassination, but a direct battle was out of the question. However, their ability to flee was pretty good.
Marvin didn’t wish to lose his own subordinates in this battle, so he would obviously plan carefully.
A bit over five minutes later, they started their operation.
…
Above the field where the camp was set up was a sort of plateau. An Archer was bored to death as he looked below.
The moonlight was bright at the moment, so his field of view was good. He made a rough check and found nothing, and thus sat down.
He set the bow to the side, took out an homemade cigar and tried to light it by continuously rubbing a flint.
But at that time, he felt some wind behind his head!
Someone!
This was his first reaction.
But also his last reaction.
Marvin had silently sneaked behind the Archer, raised his dagger and ruthlessly slashed at him!
He directly beheaded him!
Night Walker’s Stealth was this fierce during the night.
At the same level, they were unequalled. Even an Archer with high perception couldn’t feel Marvin behind him.
Unless he stayed on high alert!
But this was simply impossible. People would always become tired and relax, let alone when standing watch during an endless night.
The Archer’s head rolled down on the stone and steadily fell at the camp’s gate.
&nb
sp; The three Fighters on night duty were immediately startled by the sound. They looked down and saw a bloody head!
“Intr…”
The three coincidentally synchronized voices were stuck in their throats!
Because Marvin hadn’t hesitated and directly dropped from the sky after killing the Archer, throwing himself at the Fighter in the middle, daggers crossed!
Dead!
“The second…” Marvin whispered.
His eyes were full of killing intent.
The other two Fighters had also been decisively killed by the Phantom Assassins who had been hiding for a long time!
The camp had instantly become defenseless.
Marvin silently made a sign. The two Phantom Assassins understood and they both got back into Stealth.
–Follow the plan–
Marvin’s eyes were fixed on that tent in the center.
From his position, he could still faintly hear gasping and moaning voices
Marvin sneered and silently approached that tent.
He could hear everything that was happening inside!
Marvin silently assessed the distance based on the shadow reflecting on the tent’s wall, and then took a deep breath.
He then ran around the tent, cutting the few ropes fastening it.
With the supporting ropes snapping, the entire tent fell down.
A woman shrieking and a man cursing could instantly be heard.
The tent’s thick walls fell down and covered everything inside.
On the bed, a man tried to get up in panic, while a woman was curling up, shrieking.
Marvin silently laughed and jumped, stably landing on that bed.
The fierce Fang was once again flashing under the moonlight.
“Pshh.”
A slash drew blood. A head still covered by the tent’s canvas fell to the ground.
And that struggling woman was also ruthlessly killed by Marvin!
‘The most important enemy has been eliminated, half of the plan has already succeeded.”
Marvin stood on the ruins of the tent and let out a long breath.
The camp had been awoken by what happened. Eleven Fighters rushed out in chaos from the tent they were squeezed in.
And Toshiroya rushed out from one side with his two Wasteland Warrior Barbarians.
“Who!” He roared, alarmed and angry.
Marvin didn’t look at him, instead speeding up and directly running out of the camp, into the forest!
