Chapter 8 - reward
In a one-touch battle, there is no difficulty for knights born for the battlefield, and the equipment gap is too large.
The midday sun was blazing, and the breeze was like a heat wave.
This is the Wilderness of Wiglott.
The rising temperature made the blood even more bloody.
There were more than 40 gnolls left, with wild dog-like heads and gray hair on their bodies. They screamed in despair, raised their mace in their hands, and rushed towards the rushing soldiers.
The soldiers behind the knight also slashed at the gnoll who was rushing up with a big knife, and when they saw the flesh, blood splattered all over the floor.
A head-to-head confrontation, a knife-by-knife fight.
The gnoll, who was already filled with despair, screamed, and then was stabbed at the head by the elite soldiers. More than half of his chest was seen, and blood spilled from his mouth full of fangs.
The frantic howling gradually turned into a struggling howl.
Captain Eli pierced a gnoll with a shot and shouted, “Lord Lord is watching us, fight!”
“War! War! War!”
The rest of the soldiers also raised their weapons and shouted loudly.
The lord is their belief. For the honor of the lord, even sacrifice is worth it.
But it was this cry that seemed to arouse the excited spirits of the soldiers. Facing the madness of the gnolls, they continued to wave their long knives from side to side. Wherever they went, there was blood everywhere.
The battle was fierce and short.
After a while, the floor was full of corpses.
Avery pressed a few gnoll captives back into the territory, “Lord Lord, all the gnoll troops will be wiped out. These are the captured captives.” Avery stepped forward and said.
“Avery, tortured out their camp, and rushed here in the morning. I think their camp will not be too far away, and try to destroy this tribe. Bring me back the valuables,” Locke instructed.
Ellie’s eyes flashed, “As you wish, my lord.” After saying that, he pressed the prisoners and walked to the house beside him.
“Aoli, go and melt the gnoll’s weapons and make high-quality weapons for our soldiers. You can also make some agricultural tools. I have some crops that can resist high temperature.” Locke turned to Aoli and said to him.
“Yes, sir.”
And this high-temperature-resistant crop is an improved potato that has just been refreshed from the system. Yes, it is the potato of the Big Blue Star, but it has been improved by the system and can survive in this high-temperature environment. Of course, a high temperature of 50 degrees is not enough. . However, there is a new array in the mysterious column of the system, “Climate Modulation Array (Small. Locke looked at the explanation of the item, which could raise or lower the temperature of the array within a radius of 200 meters, which was worth 1,000 Faith Points.
At that time, Locke’s eyes were full of light. It was a little expensive. Who said it was in the mystery column. The things in it were a bit mystical, and it was only natural that they were more expensive. With this formation, Locke’s territory can be on the ground during the day. It’s just that it’s still hot, and it’s better than 50 degrees. In the past life in Blue Star, it can reach 40 degrees in many places in summer. It’s not the same life.
Locke immediately exchanged 4 formations, 3 of which have been quietly buried in the center of the territory by him, just 600 meters in diameter. Enough for the current territory. Another was buried beside the woods. Lawrence and the others had dug a well, and they asked the rat people to cover the well with cement. As long as you wait for the sun to bake during the day, you can use it the next day. Bury the formation next to the well. The temperature in the territory is now maintained at about 40 degrees during the day.
Around noon. Eli returned with the knights. One by one the horses are hunched over.
Avery dismounted and walked to Locke’s side, “Sir, the gnoll tribe has been wiped out. We have harvested various iron products, wheat, etc., and also found a few horses, as well as two powerful cows of the orc race, more than 500 gold coins.”
“Oh, there are only more than 500 gold coins, it’s really poor,” Locke said contemptuously. I didn’t even think about it. The famous Wiglott Wilderness, it would be good to have gold coins. Most of them are silver coins and copper coins. With more than 500 gold coins, it can be seen how many people this group of gnolls robbed.
“What kind of bull is a strong bull? Ellie.” Locke asked. After traveling for a few months, he really didn’t know these native species.
Avery replied, “My lord, according to Lawrence, the Hercules Bull is a kind of domestic animal unique to the Orcs. They are so powerful that a single bull can pull a hill.”
Locke was speechless. The natives are natives, and they even pulled a mountain. However, this description also shows that this kind of cattle is very powerful. Since it is useful, keep it.
“What else, let’s talk about it together, Ellie,” Locke said. He didn’t believe it. This group of gnoll tribes had nothing. They had been robbery professionally for so many years. How dare they attack their own territory without any knowledge.
“Sir, in the gnoll tribe, we also found 3 crossbows defending the city. There are also some human slaves.”
“Oh, the defense crossbow? Fortunately, they didn’t bring this kind of crossbow to attack us, otherwise, our soldiers would always die a few. This thing can specifically restrain the cavalry, by the way. Are there any humans? Go. Ask them if they are willing to stay as citizens in the territory, and give them some water and food to let them out of the city.” Locke said happily.
