Chapter 457: Spoils of War
Moonlight Valley.
After the fierce battle, the knights occupied Moonlight Castle and ransacked it. Except for the scattered properties that they took as their own as spoils of war, most of them were turned over and distributed by Rulans.
For nobles, winning in a war is often synonymous with sudden wealth, especially a battle like capturing a castle.
After two days of statistics, Rulans figured out Jesus' wealth and distributed it according to military exploits and losses of various nobles.
Others don't know that in addition to receiving more than 120,000 gold coins, Luo Ning also received seven magic cannons, more than 300 sets of armors and armors, and more than 1,000 weapons!
From this part alone, you can know how rich Jesus is.
And in addition to these, there are two things that are very special, rare and expensive.
One of them is five thousand kilograms of mithril.
Luo Ning needed to make a ship that mixed mana power and steam power. Mithril was a necessary material for making a magic circle.
Five thousand kilograms of mithril solved Luo Ning's big problem.
The second is the gryphon.
If you count the few killed on the battlefield, the number of griffons owned by Jesus exceeds half a hundred.
However, more than half of these griffins are cubs, and they need to be raised for another two years before they can be trained to become mounts.
Under the distribution of Lulans, Luo Ning obtained eight adult griffons and four cubs.
For the rest, in addition to Wushanpu asking for some, Rulans is also going to give one or two rewards to Marvin, Kabir, Vitorino, Sandro, Melonica and others.
These people have put in a lot of effort recently, and it is only natural that they should be given some special rewards.
Luo Ning looked at the list in his hand and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
"Sophia, go ahead and pick a gryphon yourself."
He smiled and said: "The speed of the magic flying carpet is still a bit slower than that of the griffon."
"Thank you so much!"
The magic flying carpet also has the advantage of carrying more people than the gryphon.
Of course, carrying more people will consume more magic power and the speed will be slower.
Having said that, Sofia will have to collect materials and make magic props later, so it is still necessary to have a faster car.
"Luo Ning, what are you going to do next?"
For Sophia, she could not have imagined that a major disaster could be solved in such a short period of time.
Through this battle, she once again realized the correctness of joining Wubei Territory.
"I know you want to get rid of the remaining two divine envoys as soon as possible, but although the Wushan leader won this battle, the losses were not small. In addition to the knights, there are a lot of well-trained cavalry and infantry. It will take a while recover."
"Moreover, for an expedition, you need to prepare a lot of things. Among other things, food is the key."
Luo Ning analyzed and concluded: "So in the next period of time, Wushan collar and my Wubei collar will rest for a while."
Sofia nodded, she was not in a hurry because she felt the dawn was getting closer.
She took out three books from the space ring.
"I can feel that you have become the Knight of the Sun and the Great Magister. This is a gift to you."
oh?
Luo Ning was a little surprised.
His defeat of Garrett was not publicized, and he did not reveal his strength to the outside world. Unexpectedly, Sofia discovered it.
"What's this?"
Luo Ning took it curiously.
Sophia introduced: "These three magic books are the ninth-level wind attribute magic Wind Shadow Technique and Destruction Storm, and the ninth-level fire attribute magic Fire Rain and Star Pendant. They are very suitable for you."
Wind Shadow Technique can be regarded as a magic that combines wind wings and speed, and the speed bonus it brings is very high. When used at full strength, it can even rival the current Carlos.
The two magics of Destruction Storm and Fire Rain Star Pendant are large-scale offensive magics, which are very suitable for destroying at any cost.
"This is a rare thing!"
Luo Ning was surprised and thanked him.
The value of these three magic books was very high, and he did not expect that the other party would give them to him directly.
Sofia smiled and said: "Before, you told me that you would become a legend within ten years. I was very skeptical, but now I feel that this is completely possible. Since you promised to help me, then I naturally hope that you can become stronger!"
She looked at the three magic books and said with a smile: "Although these things are precious, only those with strength can realize their value."
Although they have selfish motives in helping Luo Ning, this selfishness is not out of self-interest.
To a certain extent, the word noble can be used to evaluate Sophia and the other five people.
Luo Ning promised: "Don't worry, sooner or later we will cross the Sea of Storms and stand on the land of the Crescent Continent again!"
…
The journey to the Golden Feather Palace was full of worries, and it took Garrett more than four days to return to the palace.
As soon as he came back, he went straight to Alduin's hall.
At this time, in addition to Bruno, there were also a number of officials from the kingdom in the hall, who were discussing the funeral for Jesus.
"Father!"
Garrett stepped forward, "I don't understand why you suddenly indulged Rulans and Ronin, and even asked Brower to support him!"
Bruno frowned, then smiled slightly and waved his hand, "That's it, Arsenault, Luther, you will announce the death of Jesus according to what you just agreed. Go and inform Duke Vargese, and his daughter Dana will also Tragically lost his life in this disaster.”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Arsenault and the others bowed and followed the order, then left the hall.
Bruno then turned around and looked at his son: "I heard from Broll that you lost to Ronin?"
Garrett's face turned ugly, but he still nodded.
Bruno took a deep breath: "What is the strength of this Ronin?"
Garrett shook his head, thinking back to the two moves in the battle, he still hasn't figured it out.
"I don't know his specific strength, because I lost too quickly..."
He looked up at Bruno: "Father, Ronin is less than 20 years old. If this continues, he will definitely be a threat to the kingdom in the future. We have to find a way to deal with him!"
"Too late..."
Bruno shook his head, "We have lost the opportunity to kill him."
"What do you mean?"
Garrett didn't understand, "Can't we get rid of him even if we gather all the troops?"
Although Ronin is strong, the kingdom is not so weak that it has no power to resist.
With magic bombardment, magic arrows, and several Silver Moon-level, many Meteor-level and several magicians working together, it is impossible not to defeat him.
Even if Ronin could run away, his territory and his men could not escape.
Garrett did not believe that the other party would choose to give up these things and live alone.
"We can deal with him, but the price is too high!"
Bruno said sadly: "I have received news in the days when you were not back. Viscount Partridge of Screaming Island led five warships to besiege Rapids Island, and he should have been defeated."
"In addition, the Principality of Vera armed the Black Gold Brotherhood with three knights. They wanted to invade the hinterland of Wushan Territory, but they did not expect to be directly destroyed!"
To be honest, when he got the two pieces of information, he was stunned for a long time.
In other words, while Wushan Territory was attacking Moonlight Valley, it still retained the ability to fight on two other fronts.
The combat effectiveness of this Marquisate was beyond his expectations.
Garrett was also stunned after hearing these words.
After a long while, his face became more determined: "Father, if this is true, we should unite with them, destroy Wushan Territory, kill Ronin, and not let him continue to be strong!"
Bruno still shook his head.
"If we really want to launch such a war, it will definitely be a life-and-death battle for the other side. Our losses will be very great, and even you and I are at risk of being assassinated."
"Now the civil strife in the Kingdom of Tricia is getting more and more intense, which is the opportunity for our Alduin royal family to become stronger! Child, I don't want to waste the opportunity on internal friction."
He said: "The kingdom, after all, is composed of many large and small forces. When we conquer this continent, such a vast land, are we afraid to give part of it to Ronin?"
Bruno has already thought about it.
"What's more, I can see that Ronin is a principled person. In his identity as Blanche's husband, my son-in-law, and your brother-in-law, he will not betray us without absolute reason."
The king shook his head slightly and brought the topic back.
"I was not optimistic about cooperating with the Wuhun tribe. It's better to give it up now, so as to avoid problems in the future, which will affect our ruling prestige."
Listening to this, Garrett was stunned for a while.
Intuition told him that this approach was appropriate.
However, he still couldn't accept that a kingdom had to compromise with a boy who was less than 20 years old!
He also found it difficult to accept his failure.
Bruno patted Garrett on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Now we want to unify the continent, we need to rely on Ronin's power!"
Garrett took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, and then nodded.
"Okay, father, I understand..." (End of this chapter)
