The data flow disappeared, and the quality of the troops instantly skyrocketed.
The 500 Swadian light infantry have all been transformed into Swadian heavy cavalry with men, horses and all armor, armed with swords, hammers, guns and shields to the teeth, and can smash the infantry array brazenly!
The victory came with rich results.
Including experience points for upgrading all light infantry to advanced units!
And those 11 master apprentices.
Upgrades are also allowed.
Following Kant's choice, the data flow appeared, and the package broke open until it disappeared into the void. In the hall of this post station, the mage apprentices who were originally wearing white apprentice mage robes have completed their transformation and promotion.
Wearing a dark mage robe.
Holds a staff studded with a large gemstone.
The immature young face has also turned into a middle-aged man who has experienced vicissitudes of life.
They are no longer apprentices who have just stepped out of the mage tower and are still in the stage of experience and learning, but masters of advanced spells, various battlefield experience, and a lot of elemental knowledge-official mages!
"My lord."
The mages bowed down and saluted together.
As for the previous 7 seniors, they also bowed respectfully and paid tribute, with an excellent attitude.
Kant nodded equally satisfied: "Not bad."
These 18 official mages are stronger than the 30 mage apprentices. Whether it is a large-scale group damage spell, a single powerful spell, or a variety of boosts, all have improved in quality.
Before dealing with those mercenaries whose morale was low, the mages did not cast spells.
for them.
A group of rubbish mercenaries, making a move is tantamount to wasting precious spell slots.
Extraordinary knights, ordinary knights, and light infantry alone are enough to defeat those mercenaries, and with the small status spells of mage apprentices, it is even easier to solve them.
The real role of these mages is to be more effective in intense high-end battles.
Small-scale military conflicts.
Not yet used.
But now, there is still a time when they come in handy.
Kant waved his hand and arranged: "All of you 18 mages, follow me to Aaron to study the solar disk temporarily stored there." After a pause, Kant seemed to think of something, and said in a deep voice: "There is still research Mysterious items left over from the lost city!"
"Follow your order." The mages nodded.
The town of "Aaron" is located on top of a hill.
And the mountaintop where it is located seems to be a certain surface temple in ancient times, blessed by the mysterious power of strange objects. After thousands of years, it still has not disappeared, and it is basically well preserved.
It has even become a lair of ferocious demonized creatures.
But things are unpredictable.
When Kant took down the sun disc of the surface temple, the temple instantly turned into fly ash and collapsed before Kant's eyes, as if it had already disappeared in the long river of time.
So when facing the ruins of the underground temple, Kant did not act rashly.
There are many valuable items inside.
For example, there are three sun discs, which emit beams of light towards the top rock formations of the ruins. After ingenious refraction, they bring a somewhat dim light to the entire huge temple ruins, so as not to be completely dark.
What's more, the most valuable thing is the golden coffin still placed on the stone platform!
It was able to lock the time.
Thousands of years ago, the blood of the gods has survived until now.
It has to be said that the coffin actually attracted Kant's curiosity more than its own gold material.
If one can analyze the time locked in it, and analyze the secret of immortality, immortality, immortality, it will simply represent eternal life. As long as it is a dying creature, it is an ability that everyone desires to have!
"Royal Knights, lead the team back to the castle."
Kant immediately arranged: "The knights and heavy cavalry will take care of the captives for the return journey together. After breaking up these captives, arrange them to the salt mine. Pay attention to sending troops to patrol the salt mine from time to time to ensure local safety."
"Understood!" Not far behind, the captain of the Royal Knights nodded.
This is a necessary command.
724 prisoners, the number is already too many.
Although it was guarded by the royal knights and heavy cavalry, there were no disturbances.
But in the salt mine, only 30 light infantry and 40 desert robbers, plus those occasional camel caravans and civilians, could not withstand the impact of nearly a thousand people, not to mention that there were more than 300 captives in the local area.
Even a riot by the captives with their bare hands is enough to wipe out the salt mine station!
Kant squinted.
Naturally, he didn't want to see this kind of result.
After pondering for a moment, Kant added: "Send a royal knight to lead the 80 newly recruited desert robbers in the past two weeks to station at the salt mine post to prevent possible riots!"
"Yes!" The captain of the Royal Knights behind him responded immediately.
And Kant took a deep breath: "When it is critical, you can directly suppress it by force!"
The captain of the Royal Knights also responded decisively: "Understood!"
Captive riots are dangerous.
What's more, when they have just become slaves, have not fully accepted this identity, and have not experienced long-term toil and torture, once there is a riot, there will be a herd effect of sympathy, and all will riot.
Even if there is a desolate desert near the salt mine, they will still riot and fight for that short-lived freedom.
Although it will be suppressed in the end.
But the loss caused to Kant is a certain amount of trouble.
After everything was arranged, Kant stood up, and the next thing to deal with was more important matters.
He waved his hand and told Rolf, "Take care of this station and make sure that there will be no problems with the salt trade in the future. If there is no accident, I will pass by the station at the end of the month, and then I will bring back all the golden eagles that I exchanged."
"Understood." Rolf said solemnly, "I will do my best."
"Yeah." Kant nodded.
As a well-known villainous nobleman in the Calradia continent, although Rolf's reputation is notorious, his ability is certain. This is why Kant dared him to manage the central station while also handling caravan trade.
Leave it to Rolf to take charge of this place, Kant rest assured!
Kant and the others are ready to continue.
However, the huge team of 30 royal knights, 100 knights, and 500 heavy cavalry guarded the 724 captured captives and trekked in the direction of the "Drehem" castle.
Did not follow Kant.
Only 10 lion knights, 18 mages though Kant went to the town "Aaron".
Riding lightly.
But with these 28 people as entourages, it is estimated that even if an army of 500 people arrives, they will be easily defeated by them. Their real combat effectiveness cannot be measured by the number of people at all!
10 lion knights who are good at melee melee.
18 mages who master each item, group, basic, boost, and summoning spells.
How can the combat power be weak
Just use the [Nature Summoning] spell mastered by 18 mages to measure the combat power. Each person can summon 5 stone golems, and they can release them twice a day. The total is 180 stone golems.
Each stone golem is an elemental creature and has been magically constructed.
He is 2.5 meters tall.
The whole body is covered with solid stones and mysterious anti-magic runes.
In addition, the two-handed war hammer made of steel in his hand is enough to wade out a bloody path among the regular troops composed of flesh and blood, and smash a future!
This is also why mages are the real main force of spellcasting among the troops of the Enfas Empire.
There are not only single-target strong attack spells.
There are also group killing spells, group boosting spells, and a large number of basic attack spells.
Including positions in key battle situations, summoning stone golems, and the ability to form an army alone!
If in a certain battlefield, the attack of the troops is frustrated, or the defense line is in jeopardy due to the enemy's onslaught, these mages can summon stone golems as an emergency force to penetrate the enemy's defense and defeat the enemy's onslaught. The troops are rescued, and the battlefield advantage is formed locally, so as to form a comprehensive advantage from point to area!
The Warwind World where the Enfass Empire is located, its war scale, degree of war, and level of war are much stronger than that of the Calradia Continent, and even the Pendor Continent cannot compare with it!
Even the various battles that Kant has experienced now are as ridiculous as the village chief's infighting.
That's the real graveyard of empires.
From the mill of life and death of the race!
All the way south.
Baron Dylan led the mercenary group and blocked the stone pass at the same time. Caravans were rarely seen in the desert.
In other words, no caravan dared to come at the risk of being slaughtered.
Because all the nobles have hinted that their caravans will temporarily suspend the salt trade. After all, they all believe that with the support of the East County leader, Baron Dylan, who is the backer, can easily capture the sentry oasis.
When the time comes, it will be their time to play, their moment.
Use various methods to coerce and lure to obtain the ownership of part of the salt mine.
Or kill Baron Dylan directly, set off a new distribution of salt, let all the nobles have enough to eat, unite, and cut off the claws of East County to South County and North County.
The combination of the nobles can be said to be equal to the power of the Principality.
This is similar to the feudal era in Europe.
The nobility is equal to the country.
And high-ranking nobles are an important pillar of the country!
The small nobles in the area, or the second son of the duke who has been exiled, will actually disappear quietly under the compromise of various nobles, and even the history books will not record too many things.
This plan is very good, stop with static, strike after strike.
But.
Things are not as simple as they imagined.
Kant is also not what they originally thought, cowardly and incompetent, with no benevolent character and reputation, but exiled in the desert, without any power, just luckily discovered the salt mine, but can only be handed over to others!
Not at all!
Kant.
The ruler of the Nalun Desert.
The powerful overlord of the Lion Principality is about to appear.
How could he fall down because of this small setback? He would turn his back on the customer and let these nobles know who is the overlord who made the laws and rules in the Nalun Desert!
It was only because of the threat from deeper in the desert that Kant could only temporarily choose peace.
Otherwise, the Principality of Lions has already entered the stage of strategy.
But it's okay now.
Kant heads to his town in the Sanwaya Mountains, looking for a solution to his troubles.
