Widow Bay Camp.

Outside the tent, there was a commotion.

Whether it was dealing with prisoners of war, treating the wounded, or tallying the losses, it all required time.

However, Aaron had a privilege and did not need to do it himself; he only needed to wait for the results.

At this moment, he was inside the tent, holding a notebook and pondering as he added a few lines.

[In the month of the Green Banyan's new growth, on the 19th, I obtained extraordinary abilities in my dream, naming them 'Supernatural Memory' and 'Danger Perception'...]

[But after returning to reality, these extraordinary abilities disappeared... Fortunately, 'Supernatural Memory' can be gradually learned and reinforced in dreams.]

[Regarding 'Danger Perception,' it seems that it can only be obtained in dreams and can sense dangers in reality, but the range is uncertain... This might be inferred from the distance of enemy ambushes...]

[It seems that in this world, obtaining extraordinary abilities is difficult, but there are ways to take shortcuts... Perhaps, I will become a 'Dream Seer' in the future?]

...

After writing down the only characters he recognized, Aaron shook his head, put away the notebook, and fell into a deep sleep.

His sleep quality was always excellent, and the fatigue from the battle made him feel as if he was falling.

When Aaron opened his eyes again, he saw the same streaks of crimson light.

The dream world.

"Hmm, my thoughts feel much more agile, indeed different from reality..."

Aaron sensed again and nodded in satisfaction: "There's no sense of danger, 'Danger Perception' hasn't triggered, so it seems that reality is also relatively safe?"

Each night's sleep adds one unit of dream mystical energy, but it has a time limit.

There is only one unit per day.

Therefore, the idea of gaining energy by entering dreams multiple times in a day is not feasible.

Since he had already obtained energy before, Aaron did not feel any new energy being generated at this moment.

"The rules of this dream world are worth exploring, there are many rules I haven't discovered yet..."

Aaron rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.

Because of his active mind, he enjoyed using the dream world as a thinking room to make major decisions.

"Although I have thwarted the Davis family's plot, the war on Black Crow Dunes still has a lot of uncertainty. If the Sotus family is defeated, it will be a disaster for all..."

"At this point, when external conflicts overshadow internal ones, hiding one's abilities is just a joke. I must help the Sotus family defeat the Davis family!"

"As for the possible hostility from Colin? I can only choose the lesser of two evils. Besides, why would I fear him? Hehe..."

At this moment, Aaron had a subtle sensation.

"It's not danger, but someone is coming."

He closed his eyes and woke up from the dream.

At this moment, Eight Fingers and the other squad leaders entered, their faces beaming with joy: "Sir, we have thwarted the Davis family's plot and achieved a glorious victory."

It seemed that through interrogations, they had also learned about some of the plots.

"Good, tell me in detail."

Aaron waved his hand.

Eight Fingers rubbed his index finger: "Because Sir discovered it in advance, our casualties in this night raid were minimal, but the results were substantial... We not only cut off over thirty heads but also captured over twenty prisoners, the most important of whom is Roan Davis. Also, congratulations on Sir slaying the Wild Bear Saliba Knight."

"In terms of spoils, there are two large ships docked nearby. According to the prisoners, once they defeated us, they would immediately sail to our territory and ambush the castle..."

At this point, Eight Fingers was drenched in cold sweat. If the Davis family had succeeded in their ambush, their fate would not have been good.

"Bring Roan here."

Aaron thought for a moment and said.

Not long after, a young noble was dragged in like a dead dog.

His leg wound had been bandaged, but blood still seeped through the bandages.

At this moment, Roan Davis looked up, gazing at the young man who had defeated him, his face filled with shock and disbelief: "It's you?"

When they had established the marriage contract under the Sacred Green Banyan Tree, Aaron had also seen him, and he couldn't help but smile: "Sir Roan, it's been a while."

This person was the nephew of the Davis Lord and a trusted confidant.

If not for a trusted person, he wouldn't have been sent on such a mission.

"I never thought we underestimated you." Roan sighed: "Your military talent and qualities make you the most outstanding heir!"

"At the brink of death, you still want to sow discord?"

Aaron ignored the varied expressions of his subordinates and said calmly: "However, you still have a chance to live. Lead my men to ambush the Davis family's castle!"

When these words were spoken, Roan's expression changed.

War was indeed about hard power. While the Davis family's main force was tied up with the Sotus army on the front lines, they had gathered this surprise attack force with all their resources. At this moment, their territory must be completely empty.

Moreover, they believed they were the ones launching the ambush and would never expect to be attacked. As long as they moved fast, they could arrive before the defeated soldiers returned!

At this moment, the convenience of boats was crucial.

Roan never imagined that the tools he had prepared to attack the Sotus would turn into the Davis family's noose!

"Of course, you can refuse. I only need a guide, and I'm sure there are other prisoners who would be willing." Aaron said calmly: "And at that time, you won't be of any use..."

Upon hearing this, Roan's expression turned grim.

...

Half an hour later, a group of people boarded the Davis family's ships.

The prisoners rowed frantically, heading toward the Davis territory.

The Mother River was calm and peaceful under the moonlight.

Eight Fingers came to Aaron's side, somewhat uneasy: "Sir... can we arrive before the fleeing soldiers?"

The castles of this era had astonishing defenses. With proper preparation, they would never be able to capture it with their current numbers.

"I don't know, let's see how lucky we are."

Aaron was indifferent: "Besides, even if we can't capture the castle, we can still raid the surrounding civilian homes... Harassing the enemy's rear is also a great achievement."

When these words were spoken, the expressions of his subordinates changed, filled with greed.

Even Eight Fingers was tempted.

Indeed!

At this moment, the Davis territory was empty, a big piece of fat meat.

Not taking a bite would be a great waste!
