Chapter 343: Finally, A Good News
Skeleton Dragons, the strongest troop cla.s.s of the undead race.
Furthermore, the world Kant lived in had the existence of “Giant Dragons” according to the legends. Although the entire race had already perished in the endless river of history, there were only legends left.
But since there were legends, it meant that there had been such a powerful creature before. It could still appear in this world now.
The undead race did not care if the giant dragon died.
As long as they found the skeleton of the giant dragon and took it under control, it would be no problem for the undead to revive the Skeleton Dragon filled with negative energy and controlled it.
Kept in mind that this was a fantasy world!
It had once had a powerful fantasy history. Even the G.o.ds and demons had existed before.
Even though it had fallen at the lowest point of its power in history and was in the end of the magic era, who knew if it could still be revived, allowing the G.o.ds that had once been high and mighty, the demons that had occupied the abyss, to reappear in this world.
At that time, humans would no longer be the world’s overlord.
The most crucial thing.
Even now, the human kingdoms were not the overlord races of this world.
Far to the south were the Dwarf Kingdoms in the hilly region, the Beastman tribes in the wilderness to the southwest, the Elf Republic on the Mannheim Coast, and even the city-state Kingdom of Grey Mane of the Jackalan and the Lizard Kingdom.
These were all races that competed with the human kingdoms for world supremacy.
Humans were not the only ones.
Now, there were also G.o.ds and demons lurking in the dark, resting and recuperating for ten thousand years.
There was also the undead race that had undergone a special change.
The situation was extremely complicated.
Although it still seemed to be quiet and everything was peaceful, once it erupted, the entire continent would probably fall into a world-shaking change. Even Kant, who had been in contact with these hidden forces for the longest time, would probably have to be cautious.
The real storm was about to arrive!
The undead that they were encountering now were just small skirmishes.
“A storm is coming.” Kant gently rubbed his temples, his gaze cold.
Looking at the silent knights in front of him, he looked at Bunduk and ordered, “Immediately gather the troops and head to the salt mine posthouse. At the same time, rescue the heavy cavalries that are entangled.”
“Yes!” as the military commander, Bunduk was the first to respond.
“Also, Manid.” Kant turned his head to look at this elite merchant.
“Here.” Manid immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to Kant. He lowered his head and said, “Lord Kant, please instruct me.”
“You will still be in charge of the castle’s defense.” Kant did not a.s.sign him any other tasks.
This merchant was better at managing the trade caravan or engaging in commercial activities. It was difficult to get his hands on matters related to war. However, he was only in charge of the castle’s defense and was on high alert to prevent the castle from falling, his carefulness towards merchants was still very useful. This was also why Kant could entrust him with the heavy responsibility of guarding the castle.
Although his commanding of the heavy cavalries was not as good as Firentis, he was also inferior to Rolf in commanding the light cavalries and light footmen, and Bunduk in commanding the crossbowmen and other long-range troops, it was still not a problem for him to defend a certain place with simple military defense.
Of course, the key point was that Kant had too few talents available!
Logically speaking, Bunduk was more suitable to defend the castle.
After all, he was once the captain of the crossbowmen and was extremely experienced in commanding the crossbowmen to defend the city. However, at the moment, Kant needed Bunduk to follow him to the salt mine to a.s.sist in commanding the troops, as well as to use his powerful strength of an underworld apostles to help, he could not be left here.
By using the skill Invasion from the Underworld, Bunduk could summon a small team of underworld invaders every day. Or he could use Demonic Incarnation to release all the devil’s power and transform into a devil of the underworld to fight. These skills were all extremely terrifying extraordinary powers.
Bunduk could be very useful in the battle.
“Go and make the arrangements.” Kant waved his hand.
His expression was grave and there was a hint of fatigue. “No matter what, you have to be careful. This is a period of time that you have to hold on for. There can’t be any mistakes.”
“Yes!” everyone in the hall responded in unison.
“Right.” Just when everyone turned around and was about to leave, Kant spoke again.
Looking at them, Kant frowned and specifically instructed Manid, “From now on, put the training ground into full use. I need to train an additional 500 footmen and 300 crossbowmen to help defend the city.”
“Understood.” Manid nodded. Everyone went forward to make proper arrangements.
This was a must.
The pressure on the city defense in the future would definitely be huge.
500 footmen and 300 crossbowmen would be the basic force to defend the city. In addition, they would be able to recruit Vaegirs Archers. As long as they could supplement their long-range firepower, it would be considered basic safety.
However, Kant would not underestimate the undead.
Even the Death Knights and Skeleton Cavalry had appeared. Perhaps there would be even more terrifying undead forces.
No matter what, “Drondheim” Castle must not be lost!
This was Kant’s territory.
It was the main place where Kant could control the Nahrin Desert.
If they lost the Oasis Lookout and this castle, it would mean that Kant’s forces would collapse in the entire Nahrin Desert. They could only put the military pressure they on the not-yet-fully-built “Aaron” City, which was still in its embryonic form, it would cause unpredictable consequences.
At the very least, Kant’s strategic plan would be completely ruined, and “Aaron” City in the Senwaya Range would be attacked by the undead. They could only hold on bitterly, and even expose themselves to the eyes of the Dukedom of Leo and the other human countries.
This was not good news!
However, just as Kant was deep in thought, good news came.
At the stairs, a mage apprentice walked down quickly and shouted anxiously, “My lord! My lord!”
“Be quiet!” Kant frowned. He could not hold back the anger in his heart because of trivial matters. He directly reprimanded him, “Learn to be steady. I don’t want anyone in the hall to be so loud and anxious!”
“My lord, I’m sorry,” the mage apprentice quickly apologized. “I’m just excited.”
Of course, he could see that Kant was not in a good mood, so he did not dare to get into any trouble at this time, he stood on the spot obediently and reported, “We have merged with the sun discs, and there has been a wonderful change. We hope you can observe it personally and witness the next miraculous moment.”
“What’s going on?” Kant was slightly stunned, and his furrowed brows relaxed slightly. “The miraculous moment?”
“Yes, my lord.”
The mage apprentice reported obediently, “After our research, the sun disk has already reached its limit after fusing. Perhaps after another fusion, it can obtain even greater power. Thus, leader has asked me to invite you to witness this miraculous moment together.”
“Yes, I understand.” Kant nodded.
He stood up and his expression returned to normal. “Perhaps this is the only good news that I feel is possible.”
