Chapter 634: The Elf Had no Way Out
“Those are the ice goldfish in the Snow Mountain Lake!”
Kant walked up from behind the Elf King. He held a handful of fish feed in his hand and poured all of it into the lake.
“Their lives are very tenacious. Even the extremely low temperature that ordinary people can not endure is nothing for the ice goldfis.h.!.+”
Kant smiled at the Elf King.
The Elf King nodded slightly at Kant and said, “Thank you, Lord Kant, for your comfort. It has been a long time since the elven colony has seen such a fish swimming freely in the lake. I had led my people down.”
Kant said, “Your Excellency, congratulations. You have successfully convinced me. I agree to cooperate with the elven colony!”
“That’s great!” The Elf King revealed a silly smile and continued, “Thank you for your help.”
“But there is a condition!”
Kant paused for a moment and then said, “That is, I can only send an army of 500 Virgil knights.”
“What?” The Elf King clearly did not expect such a situation. “Lord Kant, isn’t this too hasty? Although I believe in the strength of the Virgil knights, an army of only 500 people would definitely not be able to resist the undead soldiers!”
Kant had already made a plan in his heart and he continued to say, “Elf King, you should not be too depressed. Although I said that I would only send out 500 Virgil knights, I will also send out another one thousand Swadian Sergeants. I believe that after my modifications, the strength of the Swadian Sergeants has improved by leaps and bounds. Moreover, without the help of the Virgil knights, this one thousand-man army will be able to stop the undead soldiers!”
Kant confidently explained to the Elf King. Although the Elf King’s expression now showed complete disbelief, it was the truth. His Swadian Sergeants definitely had the strength to fight to the death against the undead soldiers, this could be seen in the defensive battle of the Jackalan city-state.
After being modified, the Swadian Sergeants could even traverse the entire map without an army that could match them.
But there were still many territories that Kant had yet to discover on the map.
This world was even much larger than the world of the sirens.
The elf’s eyes instantly lit up. He clearly did not expect that Lord Kant would actually give him such an additional surprise. This was simply beyond his imagination.
“Lord Kant, I really can not understand why you have made such a huge change?” the Elf King asked sincerely.
“I feel that you are a good lord who loves his people, which is why you made such a decision.” Kant’s answer was meticulous and did not allow any doubt.
“Thank you for your praise. Although I love my people, I am not a good king. There are many things that I have not done well. I also hope that I can get more guidance from Lord Kant in the future!”
As soon as he said this, Kant had already guessed most of it. The elven colony had indeed planned to merge with the Drondheim city-state. They even wanted to hand over the entire elven colony to Kant to manage, but was this really good?
According to Kant’s knowledge, the elven colony had never accepted outsiders as their managers since ancient times. Even if it was just a small storekeeper, the elven colony’s people would not let a foreigner be their manager.
If they wanted to merge, it seemed like they would be unanimously opposed by the people of the elven colony. Could it be that the Elf King had not expected such a situation?
No, he could definitely imagine it, but why did he continue to do so?
Such doubts formed in Kant’s mind, but it was not convenient for him to ask. After all, such a question seemed stupid and impolite.
“Elf King, since I have promised you, you can go back and wait for the reinforcements to come. They will definitely bring you a special surprise!”
“I am looking forward to it!” the Elf King said expectantly.
Kant did intend to do so. Although the elven colony’s terrain was very ordinary, it was still a territory that everyone was eyeing covetously.
The reason why the undead soldiers had set their sights on the elven colony as their primary target was clearly because of their own reasons.
The Head Knight of the Virgil Knights was Pam. He was a good commander who was very responsible.
Kant found Pam and he came to his palace the next day.
Pam bowed respectfully to Kant and offered the knight etiquette that only knights would use.
“Lord Kant, we will definitely complete the mission and return successfully. Please rest a.s.sured.”
Pam finished the gla.s.s of Kafel red wine in front of him in one gulp to announce his determination.
Kant looked at Pam respectfully. In this battle, if he was not careful, Pam might be sacrificed on the battlefield. This was certainly not the outcome Kant wanted to see.
However, the undead soldiers were extremely fierce. On the northern border, no army could compare to the undead soldiers.
The undead soldiers in the Jackalan city-state were only a few. There would be ten times more undead soldiers in the elven colony.
With such a large number of undead soldiers, Kant was obviously not confident that he could help the elven colony win.
At noon that day, Pam led 500 Virgil cavalries and more than a thousand Swadian Sergeants.
The majority of the Swadian Sergeants were people who had fought off the undead soldiers in the Jackalan city-state, so they volunteered to go to the elven colony.
Their original plan was to arrive at the elven colony before nightfall, but they did not expect to encounter the undead soldiers in the north when they just entered Deyama City.
Swede was the captain of this team of Swadian Sergeant. He had already spotted the undead soldiers in front, so he immediately returned to the camp to report.
“Commander Pam, we’ve spotted the undead soldiers that are two miles ahead.”
It was already dusk, and they would be able to reach the elven colony in an hour. However, they had not expected to encounter the undead soldiers in advance when they were halfway down the road, this was clearly not what Pam had expected.
However, everything was still under control.
Pam ordered, “All soldiers, follow me and advance!”
Pam’s organizational ability was quite outstanding, and all the soldiers listened to him. Upon hearing such an order, all of them became spirited.
The undead soldiers were still approaching, and Pam was already ready to be the vanguard.
