Monster attack incident?
The apprentices looked at each other in confusion.
There are many wild beasts in the wilderness, and hungry beasts often attack villages to eat people.
Usually, the village militia can solve such beasts, and it's rare for the castle guards to be dispatched.
As for beasts that can severely damage a hundred-man army, they are even rarer than hen's teeth.
Such beasts already qualify as Exotic Beasts.
Steed's expression suddenly turned serious, and he turned back to Sherman apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Sherman, I cannot accompany you to dinner; I will certainly make up for today's lack of courtesy later."
"You are too kind, Steed; dealing with the attack is more important." Sherman waved his hand, thought for a moment, and then said, "We are grateful for your hospitality these days, and if you don't mind, I could accompany you, and perhaps I can be of help."
Steed's eyes lit up and he immediately agreed.
"Then I will trouble you, Sherman."
