Chapter 714: Going to the Pig-Headed People's Gathering Area
Soon, this Kali revealed all of Prince Eric's smuggling caravan like a dumpling.
As the old saying goes, there is no family ties in heaven, and the same is true in this Western fantasy world.
Although Eric, the eldest prince, was born early, he gained the right to inherit the throne.
But in such a huge empire, his position as the heir is naturally not guaranteed.
Other princes also wanted to squeeze him out and compete for the supreme power.
Moreover, the noble lords within the Bach Empire also had their own interests to consider, so this resulted in fierce intrigues and intrigues in the palace before the next king was actually born.
In this intrigue, in addition to showing off one's abilities in front of the king, one also has to find ways to strengthen one's own strength and win over important nobles.
And these all require a large amount of gold coins.
If it is just an ordinary business, the speed of earning gold coins will be too slow.
In this way, smuggling some prohibited items to the orcs, and then exchanging them for the orcs' magic potions, monster furs, etc., became the fastest way to make money.
The eldest prince formed the Klee Merchant Group to sell weapons and equipment specifically to these orcs.
Because the eldest prince was backing him, the business of the caravan had been going smoothly, providing the eldest prince with a lot of funds.
This time, Kari came with the smuggler group and got in touch with the pig-headed leader.
"These guys are all sanctimonious on the surface, but they are very dirty behind the scenes. Every weapon they provide to the orcs will be used in the battle to plunder our human territory in the future!"
Although there was no need to think about such things as smuggling groups, Nalant knew that they would definitely exist.
But I didn't expect that even the dignified prince of the Bach Empire would be engaged in such a business. You can imagine how many people in the entire Holy Alliance secretly sold weapons and equipment to the orcs.
"Narant, you promised me not to expose this matter!" Kali's eyes were pleading.
"Don't worry, even if this matter is exposed, no one will know that it was you who said it. I will only expose Eric's ugly face after I get real evidence!"
Narant is quite trustworthy.
Before Kali revealed everything, he had made an agreement with Nalant in advance that this matter could not be leaked under such circumstances, especially that Prince Eric could not know that it was Kali who leaked the secret.
Otherwise, I'm afraid none of Kari's family members in the Bach Empire would survive.
And Nalant is not ready to publicize it now. After all, it will have no effect to promote it with empty words. On the contrary, it will cause a more serious blow to Prince Eric.
Unless he can catch the smuggling caravan and have sufficient evidence, then it's time for Eric to take a beating.
"Thank you!" Kari knew that he would not survive, but it was a small comfort that his family could be safe.
"Keep your eyes open in the next life, and be with the right person!" Nalant didn't hesitate, and in the next moment he raised his knife and directly killed Kali.
This card contains peak gold strength, and Nalant doesn't dare to keep it.
If it weren't for Little Bear, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to face this Kali by himself.
After cleaning up Kari and returning to the castle, a group of subordinates were already cleaning the battlefield.
According to statistics, more than 2,000 pig-headed men were killed today.
As for the casualties on Nalant's side, a total of fifteen people were killed, sixty were seriously injured, and more than a hundred were lightly injured. In total, few were intact.
From here we can also see how powerful the pig-headed man is.
Even with the existence of Little Bear, there are still so many casualties.
Of course, all those killed in battle were spearmen, and it was only because of the lucky girl with the medical talent of Winnie that the seriously wounded were prevented from dying.
Otherwise the death toll would be higher.
"Quick, take care of the fallen guards. Later, you will prepare a beautiful burial ceremony for them and erect a monument to their merits. They fought for our Storm Territory, and we should always remember them!"
Looking at the fifteen fallen guards who had been visited together, Nalant also felt a little complicated.
In the Glory Continent, there have been many large and small wars, but such heavy casualties have never occurred.
Not long after arriving in the Holy Continent, fifteen of his soldiers died in battle.
This also made him understand that the Holy Continent is more dangerous than the Glory Continent. If he does not work hard to develop the territory, his Storm Territory may cease to exist if he is not careful.
Of course, Nalant would not let these guards die in vain. In addition to generous pensions, he felt that a monument should be erected outside the castle to commemorate these guards who died while defending the Storm Territory.
This not only allows a group of guards to die in obscurity, but also greatly unites the hearts of the people of the Storm Territory.
"Yes, sir!"
Quick was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded excitedly.
Although after following Nalant, companions rarely died in battle.
It can be said that when I was under Lord Earl, I still saw many teammates die in battle.
But for a benevolent nobleman like Bernard, the most he could do was give these fallen guards generous pensions, but there was never any talk of building a monument.
After confessing to Quick, Nalant went to the side of the castle to look for Shirley.
"Sir, you are here!" When Nalant arrived, the little girl Shirley was squatting in front of a giant mountain-like beast. It was the Kodo beast that had been knocked unconscious by the little bear earlier.
"Shirley, how are you? Have you completed the recognition contract?"
"Sir, Little Bear just woke it up, Shirley hasn't even started trying yet!"
"Well, let's try it now! If it surrenders obediently, then spare its life, but if it doesn't know what to do, then treat it as a barbecue!" Nalant nodded.
The reason why I keep this Kodo beast is mainly because its appearance is quite similar to the orc giant beast in the previous life of Warcraft, Nalant's some feelings are at play.
Therefore, if this Kodo beast is disobedient, then he should stay longer. After all, it is only the first four levels of magic beast at most.
"Okay, sir!" Shirley immediately began to use her natural power after hearing this.
Nalant was watching from the side, and with the little bear lying on the head of the Kodo beast, he was not afraid that little Shirley would be in any danger.
"That's enough, sir!" However, the Kodo beast's resistance as expected by Nalant did not appear.
Just over a minute later, the little Loli had an expression of joy on her face, and her contract was released successfully.
"Very good, then there will be one more giant beast to carry goods!"
This Kodo can be called an oversized rhinoceros, with a body length of at least one meter and a height of about four meters.
Whether it is used for fighting or transporting goods, it is suitable.
"Okay Shirley, sir, I have another thing to tell you!"
After the Kodo contract was completed, Nalant explained the real reason why he came to find Shirley.
The total number of pig-headed invasions this time was more than two thousand, and even the pig-headed leader was among them, so Nalant judged that the pig-headed men should be out in force.
Even if there are still some left behind in the village, there are definitely not many.
Valley eagle
Therefore, it is better to take advantage of now and directly eliminate all the remaining pig-headed men, then the area around the Storm Territory will become safer in the future.
And now he asked Shirley to send all the bees and swift eagles to search for the pig-headed gathering place further away.
…
Time turned to evening.
In the open space outside the Viscount's Castle, tens of thousands of people from the Storm Territory gathered here.
Narant, on the other hand, stood on the temporary high platform.
"Today, our Storm Territory was invaded by a group of brutal and bloodthirsty pig-headed men!"
"However, under the leadership of Nalant, I successfully defeated this invasion and killed more than 2,000 invading pig-headed people in total."
"And in this battle, our Stormtroopers guards showed their bravery and unyielding strength."
"As the lord, I, Narant, am here to praise all the warriors who fought bravely in today's battle. You are the pride of the Storm Territory, and I, Narant, are also proud!"
"However, war is cruel. We defeated the enemy, but there were also warriors who sacrificed heroically for this."
"These fifteen warriors are respectable and great. They have guarded the safety of our Storm Territory with their lives."
"Here, I, Nalant, have decided to give each of their family members a pension of ten gold coins, and after the new houses in the Storm Territory are built in the future, their family members will be the first to move in!"
"In addition, their families and children will be given priority to join well-paid jobs in the Storm Territory in the future."
"Even if the castle chooses male and female servants, they will be selected first from their family members!"
Narant, who was on the high platform, spoke passionately, and also spoke about his pensions for those killed in battle, as well as some preferential treatment policies in the future.
After listening to Nalant's words, the serfs below began to whisper.
They had never heard of such generous pensions before.
Many nobles are even picky about their pensions. It can be said that Lord Nalant is so generous that no one else can be found.
"In addition, what I said above will be valid for all warriors of the Storm Territory. If you swear loyalty to me, Nalant, then I, Nalant, will not treat any of you badly!"
"My lord is mighty!"
"Lord, you are mighty!"
As Nalant finished speaking, both the serfs and the guards cheered, forming waves of noise outside the castle.
"Okay! Now, let us see off these fifteen warriors!" Nalant raised his hand to suppress the cheers, and then announced the final step of today's farewell.
As Nalant spoke out, fifteen carriages carrying the bodies of the fallen guards began to pass through the crowd, escorted by the Storm Riders.
As the carriage passed through the crowd, the serfs on both sides offered various wild flowers they had picked.
Although they were poor, they also knew how to be grateful and grateful for the protection of these guards.
Afterwards, fifteen carriages, escorted by the Storm Knights, drove to the newly planned cemetery in the territory.
This place will be dedicated to burying the soldiers who died in the battle.
In this cemetery, Nalant will arrange for craftsmen to build a small monument.
This monument can be used by a group of serfs to go to pay homage on their own, or Nalant can lead some guards to go there to pay homage.
As for the monument planned outside the castle, Narant will personally lead people to pay homage here if there are important festivals in the future.
After all, the cemetery is too remote and it is impossible for all the residents to rush there, but the entrance to the castle is more convenient.
…
"Sir, Xiao Huihui is back and said that he has discovered a large village of pig-headed people!"
At noon the next day, as soon as Narant finished lunch, little girl Shirley hurried over to make a report.
"Oh, is it far?" Nalant handed the towel to wipe his hands to the maid, and immediately asked Shirley.
"Sir, Xiao Huihui said that the distance is fifty or sixty miles, and it takes almost a day's journey to get there." Shirley answered immediately, paused and then thought of other things, and then said: "By the way, sir, Xiao Huihui
Hui also said that he discovered another giant fruit orchard near the village!"
"Oh? Another powerful fruit was found near that village?"
Nalant knew that this was probably the system's task reward.
I killed all the pig-headed criminals yesterday, and the system has reminded me to issue rewards.
"Very well, Shirley, go get ready and bring the Kodo with you. We are ready to go!"
Now that he discovered the pig-headed village, Nalant was not prepared to delay and decided to clear out all the remaining pig-headed villages quickly.
"Yes, sir!"
Half an hour later, Nalant's expedition team was assembled.
Because there were many casualties in yesterday's battle, he only took away twenty-five storm knights this time, plus three hundred ordinary guards.
However, with Little Bear here, there shouldn't be much of a problem just to clear out some of the pig-headed men left behind.
Narant now also feels that his own troops are insufficient, and is thinking about going to the Furnace Forest in person after a while.
In addition to picking up your own barbarians, you can go to the dwarves to customize weapons and equipment.
In this holy continent, without mithril weapons and equipment, there will be no advantage in the battle.
"Set off!"
When the team was assembled, Nalant rode the white dragon and drove out of the castle first. As for the guards, except for the Storm Knight, all the others relied on their legs.
This is also the reason why humans are reluctant to attack the orcs. Once they go deep into the forest, the carriage cannot move forward at all.
At that time, the war will be impossible to fight in terms of supplies.
Therefore, if you want to deal with the orcs, you must first build a road that is smooth enough for carriages to travel on.
Fortunately, Nalant did not have many people on this expedition, and he also had the kodo beasts he had just conquered. All the supplies were hung on both sides of the kodo beasts.
After marching in the forest for half a day, when it got dark, Narant stopped the team.
It takes a day to travel to the pig-headed gathering place, so we will travel for an afternoon today and then a morning tomorrow morning.
By arriving at the pig-headed gathering place at noon, we can launch an attack at that time and capture the orc gathering place before dark.
Following this plan, Nalant arrived on time at noon the next day and ambush outside the orc camp.
After the investigation by Bee Bee and Xiao Huihui, Nalant had a clear picture of the situation in the camp.
There are only more than a hundred pig-headed men left in the camp at this moment, and they are all the least effective in combat.
It is estimated that the pig-headed leader did not expect that he and others would be wiped out, so there were no manpower left in the camp at all.
