With the entire Dragon Tooth Sword piercing his head, the fifth-level Nether Wolf King only had time to cry out and then fell directly to the ground.
"My lord is mighty!"
"My noble lord is mighty!"
A group of subordinates not far away also saw the scene of Nalant killing the Netherworld Wolf King, and they immediately shouted loudly for their master who easily defeated the dark creature.
After all, in their opinion, the fifth-level Netherworld Wolf King is much stronger than the gargoyle.
"Concentrate on fighting!"
Nalant yelled at everyone, then pulled out his sword and returned to the array.
The biggest threat on the battlefield today has been resolved, which also means that the battle has been settled.
This is also true.
Without the bloodthirsty bats, green-striped spiders, and the Netherworld Wolf King, it will only take time for the remaining dark creatures to be wiped out.
Especially those ordinary ghost wolves that were lucky enough to survive among the dark creatures, because of the existence of magic guards, they were unable to cause harm to Nalant's subordinates.
Almost an hour later, there were only a few dark creatures left standing on the battlefield.
After harvesting all the dark creatures that were standing, the subordinates began to clean up the dark creatures that fell to the ground but were not dead.
"Sir, in today's battle, a total of thirteen of us were killed, including eight goblins and five spearmen."
"In addition, in this battle, a total of thirty of us were seriously injured, but they are out of danger under Miss Winnie's treatment."
When the battle was completely over, Quick immediately came to report today's battle damage.
Surprisingly, although they encountered more dark creatures today, Nalant's subordinates lost less in battle than the previous two times.
However, Nalant thought about it again and knew the reason.
Since the expedition, this is already the third war we have experienced.
In the first two wars, it can be said that the soldiers had no combat experience, so the losses would naturally be greater.
But after experiencing two losses, the soldiers who survived can be said to be soldiers who have fought in a hundred battles, and have gained extremely valuable experience in dealing with dark creatures.
In this way, there is a natural difference in the survival rate between veterans who have experience fighting dark creatures and soldiers who are fighting dark creatures for the first time.
Of course, if you rely solely on experience, it will certainly not be enough to reduce casualties so much.
Especially since Nalant's team was dealing with 30,000 dark creatures this time.
Therefore, another more important reason is that the strength of Nalant's subordinates has been greatly enhanced by his generous gifts.
This is very clear from today's battle losses.
In the first two battles, Nalant's Wolf Knights and Storm Knights will still die in battle.
But this time, except for a few seriously injured people, no one was killed in the battle.
Including the spearmen, although they are just ordinary soldiers, their strength has been greatly enhanced with the blessing of Nalant's two rounds of kiwi fruits.
In addition, the pikemen do not need to charge into the battle, but only need to withstand the attacks of the remaining dark creatures behind Quaicremon and others, which greatly improves their survival probability.
In addition to the increased strength of their god, the growth of the magician legion also makes the battle faster.
Every time the boy and girl magicians throw a fireball, they can harvest at least several low-level dark creatures, or a single dark creature with a little fighting ability.
In this way, a hundred male and female magicians with great improvement in strength can harvest thousands of dark creatures.
Their growth has greatly supported those fighting on the front lines.
"Collect the bodies of the fallen soldiers and assemble the team. Let's go to the Viscount Castle ahead now!" Nalant nodded.
Although death in battle was inevitable, seeing his subordinates who had been running around dying like this one by one in the battle, to be honest, it was quite uncomfortable for him.
Not to mention the goblins, just the spearmen and other subordinates, they all have families waiting for their return in Stormland.
In this way, Nalant felt that since energy points were so easy to earn in this land of death, he would do his best to enhance the strength of these subordinates.
This time he planned to distribute strange fruits to the long archers and long-range attack teams.
Although the two are considered the safest arms in battle besides magicians.
But as their strength is strengthened, their ability to sustain attacks is strengthened.
This can cause greater damage to dark creatures, and is also very helpful to other guards fighting dark creatures in front.
"Yes, sir!"
Immediately, after collecting the corpses of his fallen subordinates, Nalant led the team directly to the small town ahead.
At this moment, the town and castle have naturally become deserted.
However, in order to be cautious, Nalant still asked his subordinates to search the town and castle as usual to confirm that no other unexpected situations would occur.
"Sir!" While Nalant was enjoying Lilia's washing and service in the vestibule, Quick hurried over again, his eyes filled with surprise.
"What's the matter, Quick?"
"Sir, the young ones found another altar like last time in the basement of the Viscount Castle, and it also has the spirit of the earth on it." Quick replied immediately.
"What? I found the same altar as last time, and it also contains the spirit of the earth?" Nalant was also surprised when he heard this.
It's not that he doesn't hope to obtain a second group of earth spirits.
Mainly according to what Lumba said, if dark creatures want to absorb the essence of the earth, it will take a lot of effort to build that kind of altar.
In this way, it was difficult to obtain such earth spirits during the human race's expeditions in previous years.
But this year, he only captured two gathering places along his route, but the earth spirits appeared twice in succession. No matter how he thought about it, Narant found it a bit incredible.
Of course, it was unbelievable. Since the spirit of the earth appeared, Nalant would definitely go and see it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Take me to see it!"
"Yes, sir!"
Immediately, Nalant headed towards the inner castle under the leadership of Quik.
On the way there, Nalant also called the goblin leader Lumba.
When Nalant said that there were earth spirits in the castle, the goblin was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
If earth spirits were so easy to obtain in the past, then the mana crystal mines among the human race would not be so rare.
If magic crystal mines were not so scarce, then the Goblins would not be able to use only a few magic weapons such as magic cannons and magic airships due to lack of energy.
Soon, Nalant was led by Quik to a basement of the viscount's castle.
After entering the basement, Nalant saw the same altar he saw the day before yesterday.
There is also a ball of energy light floating in the air above the altar.
"Rumba, didn't you say that earth spirits are very rare? Why are there so many earth spirits in the Land of Death this time!"
"This... noble sir, I don't even know... could it be because, noble sir, you have been favored by the God of Glory?"
Although Goblin does not believe in the God of Glory, he also knows that human nobles like this tune.
In this way, since he couldn't explain it, he could only speculate like this.
"I guess so!"
Narant actually didn't really believe this, but he could only think that he was lucky in the matter before him.
After all, his luck is pretty good.
…
While Nalant speculated whether the earth spirits that appeared one after another were gifts from the God of Glory, other teams were still fighting hard.
For example, the coalition team of the Seashell Principality next door, although the number of dark creatures they faced this time was not much greater than that of Nalant.
Because they are still attacking a viscounty territory this time.
But this battle was more difficult than the day before yesterday.
Mainly because they also encountered a pack of ghost wolves.
The Nether Wolf is not a threat to Nalant at all.
But for them, it is a very difficult existence.
Although they also have magicians, and some of them can release magic guards, the number is really too small.
There are a total of more than twenty magicians in their team, but there are only ten people who can release magic guards.
The main reason is that when these magicians are in the Sacred Magic Academy, they need to spend money to learn magic spells.
In this way, many magicians who are junior magicians simply don't have time to learn this spell that is rarely used on weekdays.
After all, even if you want to learn this basic magic spell, you will need hundreds of gold coins, which is not a small amount of money.
In addition, although more than a dozen of the stronger magicians have learned the magic guard's spells, their magic power is limited.
There is simply no way to inhumanely explode hundreds of magic guards at once like Nalant did.
Each of them can release about two or three magic guards at a time, and a stronger mage can release seven or eight magic guards, which is incredible.
In this way, compared to the wandering ghost wolves encountered on the road, plus the dozens of ghost wolves in the castle, such a few magic guards are simply not enough.
This also caused their team to suffer a lot of casualties, all of which were caused by these ghost wolves who inadvertently approached and attacked.
Fortunately, there are quite a few of them, so the loss is still acceptable.
"Master Pad, please release three more magic guards. We just saw that the Netherworld Wolf King seems to be nearby!" Several representatives of the principality held long swords and looked at the field with wary faces.
Not only was the Netherworld Wolf King extremely capable of invisibility, but he was also very intelligent. This also put a lot of pressure on them.
The two magic guards who were just wandering around were torn apart by the Netherworld Wolf King before they could react.
Now if you want to continue tracking the Nether Wolf King, you can only continue to let the magicians assigned by the Sacred Magic Academy release magic guards to help.
"Guys, my magic power has just been exhausted. If I want to continue to release three magic guards, it will take at least ten minutes to recover!"
"Okay, Master Pad, then we are here to protect you. Please restore your magic power quickly!" Several people had no choice but to continue to be on guard and wait.
"These ghost wolves are so abominable, they are no better than the gargoyles. Moreover, have you noticed that the number of ghost wolves this year is exceptionally large. I don't know if it is just us alone or other teams in the alliance.
We encountered such a situation.”
"The number of ghost wolves has indeed increased this year. Although we encountered the existence of ghost wolves once in the past two years, the number was definitely not more than ten. This time, it is several times more!"
"As for other teams, we don't know if they have encountered so many, but their situation is definitely much better than ours. After all, they have more magicians assigned to them than us, and they are also stronger than us!"
"Oh, yes!"
Several noble representatives felt a little aggrieved when they heard this.
This is why they cannot do without magicians during the expedition.
Magicians are not only the best way to deal with aerial threats, but they are also necessary to deal with special dark creatures like ghost wolves.
If there were no magicians, their team would probably be entangled here by the ghost wolves.
"No, there is another team that is much worse than us!"
At this moment, a noble suddenly spoke.
Everyone looked at each other after hearing this, and naturally knew who the noble was talking about.
"I think Baron Nalant hasn't completed his attack on the first stronghold yet!"
"I guess so. After all, there is not a single magician in his team. Let alone dealing with these ghost wolves, even the bloodthirsty bats and gargoyles can cause heavy damage to Baron Nalant's team."
"Actually, this is fine. If Baron Nalant encounters these ghost wolves, he won't be able to run away, because the gargoyles and bloodthirsty bats will land to rest after flying a certain distance, but these ghost wolves can pursue their prey for long distances.
, and can be invisible anytime and anywhere.”
When several nobles talked about Nalant, they once again expressed sympathy.
Because in their opinion, Nalant would be really unable to move forward in this land of death without the help of magicians.
Of course, if they knew that Nalant had actually accepted the second group of earth spirits comfortably in the Viscount Castle at this moment, and then used the flame magic of the magician army to cook the ingredients, their jaws would definitely drop.
And soon, the Napad magician in their team had just completed the magic recovery and finally released three magic guards.
After the three magic guards were released, several people did not dare to be careless and followed the three magic guards closely.
Soon, relying on magic to guard them, they noticed the traces of the Netherworld Wolf King, and then with their combined efforts, they were able to deal with this elusive existence without too much difficulty.
When the Nether Wolf King was eliminated, a group of noble representatives led a group of subordinates and began to charge and kill.
And after a full hour and a half, they finally eliminated all the dark creatures.
Mainly because the remaining ordinary ghost wolves slowed down their fighting speed.
After the battle, a group of nobles immediately went to the castle to set up camp.
"What, there's another earth spirit?"
When they arrived at the castle, all the nobles also looked at each other in shock.
Because in their castle, the spirit of the earth appeared again.
In fact, not only them, but also the alliance team that had captured the second gathering place, all discovered the existence of earth spirits in the castle one after another.
