Without the hellhound and headless horseman, the threat level of dark creatures is immediately reduced.
Narant lay on the ground for a moment before rejoining the fight.
A few minutes later, all the skeleton soldiers turned into white bones scattered on the ground.
"Oh! Victory! We are victorious! We have defeated the dark creatures!" As all the skeleton soldiers died, the guards finally couldn't help but cheer.
Although Quirk's guards had been on the battlefield before, they were all battles with humans, which were fundamentally different from these skeleton soldiers who were not afraid of death.
People are always afraid of death and pain.
As long as the dark creatures can still move, they will fight to the death. Even if they die together, they will not hesitate.
Therefore, when fighting dark creatures, the guards are fighting with a huge psychological burden!
"You did a great job tonight!" Nalant was very happy to see that none of his subordinates were seriously injured or dead.
"My lord is mighty!"
"My lord is mighty!"
When the guards heard Nalant's praise, they immediately changed their slogans. The most powerful and dazzling person tonight was undoubtedly their lord.
A junior bronze knight can kill the hell dog and the headless horseman alone, which is very rare even in the entire principality.
The most important thing is that they wiped out the invasion of a large wave of dark creatures without sacrificing a single person. This is also an unprecedented achievement that can be used to show off a lifetime.
"Very good. You have also shown me your bravery and loyalty. To reward you, I will hold a celebration dinner for you in the castle later. Enough black bread and broth!" Faced with the cheers of his men, Narant He smiled and promised everyone rewards.
Not to mention, after the battle, the feeling of adrenaline soaring and heart beating like a drum is really fascinating. This is a very novel feeling for him who was just a mediocre person in his previous life!
"Oh! My God! Enough broth! Thank you for your generosity!"
"Thank you for your generosity, sir. I will swear to serve you to the death!"
"Thank you for your generosity, sir. I will swear to serve you to the death!"
The guards cheered even louder. Meat was a rare treat for guards like them.
Especially the ten longbowmen who have just joined. As serfs, they have not tasted the taste of meat for more than half a year. Now their master says that the broth is enough. Such a reward is no weaker than giving it directly with coins. .
"Okay, hurry up and clean the battlefield so that you can drink the broth as soon as possible!" Nalant waved his hand and gave an order to everyone.
Afterwards, the guards began to get busy again.
"Sir, this armor and weapons seem to be inscribed equipment!" After a while, Quick ran over in a hurry, holding the armor of the Headless Horseman in his hand and spoke with envy on his face.
"Huh? Inscribed armor!" Nalant immediately turned his attention to the armor, and sure enough he saw complicated silver inscriptions under the dirt on the armor's chest.
"So lucky?"
Nalant quickly took over the armor, and the moment he took it he found that the armor was incredibly light, at least two-thirds lighter than iron armor of the same specification.
Of course, the reason why the armor is so light is not because of cutting corners. On the contrary, this armor is much stronger than ordinary iron armor. The real reason is the silver inscriptions on the armor.
The origin of the dark creatures is still a mystery, but one thing is certain.
That is, the dark creatures definitely came from a more glorious civilization before they died, because their craftsmanship in forging weapons and equipment is much more advanced and magical than this continent.
For example, the inscribed armor in front of me can make the armor lighter just by relying on the silver patterns on its surface. This goes against everyone's knowledge.
This inscription can not only make the armor lighter, but also make the weapons and equipment sharper and more durable.
As for why the inscription can produce such an effect, people still have no way of knowing.
"Such a piece of armor would be worth at least 10 gold coins if sold, right?" Nalant couldn't help but be overjoyed, this was an unexpected trophy.
Of course, the armor was about the same size as him, so if he could wear it, Nalant wouldn't sell it.
"It seems that the dark creatures are not useless. They are here to deliver couriers! If there are more of these couriers, wouldn't I make a fortune in the future?" Nalant thought in his mind.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the second nightmare prediction of the main mission. Twenty-eight dark creatures were eliminated. The 5 reward energy points have been distributed!"
"Ding, the third nightmare prediction of the main mission has been released, please check it yourself, host!"
"The third nightmare prediction mission reward: 10 energy points, mission progress 0\168."
The next moment, a system sound suddenly came from Nalant's mind.
His body froze and his expression froze, "Damn! One hundred and sixty-eight dark creatures? System, I was joking just now, don't take it seriously, okay?"
If possible, Nalant would rather not have this express delivery...
Facing Nalant's pleading, the system ignored it. Instead, an image was played on his retina. It was the prediction of the next nightmare. This time, it could be viewed even when he was not sleeping.
Suppressing the urge to curse, Nalant quickly began to watch the scene of the third nightmare prediction.
"Five hell dogs, ten second-level headless knights, and one third-level death knight?"
"The next invasion is in three months."
"There is still some time to prepare, otherwise if you come next week, then I will not play. What about the Earl's daughter, what territory, whoever likes to play can play!" After a while, Nalant read the third one The nightmare was predicted, and he didn't know whether to cry or be grateful.
…
Half an hour later, in the front courtyard of the castle.
The guards sat around several large wooden tables in the open air, looking at the large pot of broth brought by the servants with gleaming eyes.
The broth was not really all soup. There were large pieces of bone and minced meat under the broth. The guards kept swallowing their saliva due to the tangy aroma.
"Alright, Nalant's warriors, let's eat with open stomachs! How much you can eat tonight is up to you!" The black bread and broth were already served, and Nalant's eyes almost dropped when he saw everyone. There is no need to delay any more.
"Thank you Lord for your generosity!"
The guards cheered, and then began to scramble for the spoons. For a while, there were shouts and curses in the courtyard.
Butler Thomas saw this barbaric scene unfolding in the castle. Although he frowned slightly, he knew it was a celebration party and didn't say anything more.
Seeing the guards starting to feast, Nalant walked away with a smile. Just as he was about to ride alone to complete another important thing tonight, Vivian came over.
"Sir, are you ready to leave the castle?"
"Huh? Vivian, why don't you eat? They'll rob them all later!" Although the most dazzling person tonight is Nalant, Vivian's record is also good. He killed twelve skeleton soldiers with all his strength, otherwise it would be impossible for the guards to have only six minor injuries tonight.
"Sir, I'm not hungry!" Vivian replied softly, paused, and then plucked up the courage to speak: "Sir, I'm sorry, it was me who brought the bad luck. Otherwise... or you..."
Vivian thought of the invasion of dark creatures tonight, and heard Sir Anthony's words, feeling that everything tonight was caused by herself.
Seeing Vivian's appearance, Nalant felt heartbroken. She was clearly here to protect the human race, and she had made a great contribution tonight, but at this moment, she was still doubting herself.
"Vivian, I said that I received a revelation from the God of Glory. You will not bring bad luck, but you will bring luck! Do you understand?"
"I..." Vivian hesitated, but under the gaze of Nalant's deep eyes, Vivian nodded and answered: "I believe in the Lord!"
"Very good! So don't think too much in the future! Vivian, get on the horse and go out with me!" Nalant nodded with satisfaction, turned over on the horse's back, and extended a hand to Vivian!
"Yes, sir!" Vivian didn't hesitate, her fair hands put on Nalant, and then Nalant gently brought Vivian safely in front of her.
After sitting firmly, feeling the Lord's warmth coming from her back, Vivian's fair face showed a trace of blush.
shelf!
Nalant didn't know Vivian's reaction, so he gently tapped the horse's belly with his legs and spurred the horse to file out towards the castle gate.
When all the guards saw this, they all showed indescribable evil smiles. As for the safety of the lord, since he has become a titled knight, even ten of them may not be able to defeat him.
…
Nalant took Vivian out of the castle, naturally not to do something unspeakable as the guards thought, but directly to an open space two miles away from the castle.
The reward from the side mission told Nalant that an elf would come to the Storm Territory tonight, and Nalant would naturally not forget it.
He had already spent some energy points searching for the elf's location.
Soon, he and Vivian discovered a crater in the clearing.
"Sir, this... this is an elf!" Looking at the blue elf in the crater, Vivian's eyes were full of disbelief.
"Yes, this is the blue elf!" Nalant was actually not as surprised as Vivian.
Normally, most of the elves that appeared were green elves, but he got elves other than green twice in a row, which would probably make other lords jealous.
The blue elf can turn the land into a habitat that certain creatures like, which means that its function is to attract certain animals to come and live there.
Don't think that this ability is worthless. In this world of scarcity, it is very difficult for people to obtain meat, and they basically rely on hunting.
But with the blue elf, it is equivalent to getting a breeding farm for free, and this breeding farm does not even require people to feed food, and there is no need to spend money to buy cubs.
As long as they are not wiped out all at once, they will continue to reproduce on their own and continue to produce meat for the territory.
Of course, what kind of creatures are attracted depends on luck. It may be birds, it may be horses, in short, anything is possible.
"Sir, congratulations to the God of Glory for favoring you!" Seeing Nalant pick up the unconscious elf in the pit, Vivian sincerely offered her congratulations.
You can get two elves in just two weeks. Apart from the blessing of the God of Glory, there is really no other possibility for such a thing.
