Chapter 367: Jocelyn Returns

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The grand celebration banquet began in the evening.

Delicious food filled the long table, and the entire street of the castle was filled with people celebrating. Regardless of men, women, young and old, or civilians, soldiers, or knights, they were all chatting happily and loudly.

This was their moment.

They didn’t mind the loud noise that filled the entire castle and the sweet malt wine that filled the street.

The burning torches hung on the wall, and with the bright moon in the sky, the entire cliff had turned into daytime, making the celebration party, which all the soldiers and civilians went to, even more lively!

The deep-fried crispy steaks and the whole roasted fat sheep were casually piled on the table.

There were also grilled fish and fried fish wrapped in flour.

The food was abnormally rich.

This was just the main course of the meat. The side dishes of dried meat, sausage, cabbage and the like were piled up in the corners of the long table. There was also fine white salt and seasonings placed casually in small bowls for people to enjoy.

This included fresh wild fruits gathered in the Senwaya range and malt wine from the trade.

There was no estimate of the cost of the banquet.

This was Kant’s most glorious victory to date.

The final result had allowed him to gain complete control of the Nahrin Desert.

Although the depths of the desert were still occupied by the ancient God’s descendants turned into the undead, within a short period of time, the southern side of the Nahrin Desert would be Kant’s territory, the territory that he would eventually rule!

No one was a fool. Kant was anything but weak, and this battle had already displayed his strength.

The undead in the depths of the desert would not continue to act rashly.

Just as the undead knight who claimed to be the ninth elector had said, these God’s descendants who wanted to be reborn and truly obtain physical bodies and life had already sent their main forces to the shores of the sea of stars in the north, the Mannheim coast, where there were high-level Jackalan, Lizardmen, and elven colonies, had gone there!

The combat strength of those foreign races was not weaker than Kant’s. In fact, they were even stronger than Kant, who was still in the early stages of the foundation realm. They were not afraid of the threat of the undead at all.

Kant had no impression of the Lizardmen and elves.

But just the Jackalan alone.

Those tall and sturdy high-level Jackalan with intelligence, civilization, thinking, and combat strength were not inferior to the knights that humans had painstakingly trained. Their physical qualities allowed their individual combat strength to be close to an off-the-charts!

For example, a high-level Jackalan’s heavy footman was fully armed and held a two-handed battle axe. If he were to go all out, he would be able to kill off the elite 10-man infantry team of the human army.

If he were to put himself in Kantian’s shoes, how would he be able to resist the undead who were weaker than the humans?

He would not be able to resist them at all!

Moreover, there were the lizardmen who had been fighting the Jackalan for hundreds of years, and the elves who had been invaded by foreign forces.

According to Kant’s own calculations, it might be a little difficult for these undead, who had been rotting for tens of thousands of years, to easily find the so-called divine artifact of the Father God and extend their forces to the Mannheim coast and into the sea of stars.

However, in their obsession to be resurrected, this group of undead descendants of the ancient gods would increase their strength even more.

The Mannheim coast would become a cruel and anxious battlefield in the shortest time possible.

And on the south side of the Nahrin Desert.

Oasis Lookout, where Kant was, could rely on the time between the two sides fighting to quickly implement the strategy he had originally planned, allowing his forces to develop even more!

“It’s time.”

Kant muttered to himself.

Now, he had completely gotten rid of the situation where he had been alone and could only carefully stretch out his hand.

Although the reputation of winning over this group of undead had not spread out, a real army could already be considered his strength, the strength that could take down those who stood in his way!

“My dear father and brother, as well as the aunt who took care of me.”

Kant’s eyes flashed. “How are you now…”

The scene in the council hall was still noisy.

But he had already made up his mind. He really wanted to leave the Nahrin desert.

This was a barren land to begin with. Fortunately, he had the system to survive a series of bloody battles, and it was getting bigger and bigger. At the same time, he was lucky enough to find a vast saline-alkali soil, which became the catalyst to open up a business line in this world.

Even so, it was already the limit of its development.

The limit of Oasis Lookout.

The limit of Nahrin Desert.

It was also Kant’s limit!

The new village that developed the Senwaya Range had now become a city. “Aaron” was based on this reason.

The desert was really barren. No matter how much money was invested, the returns were not proportional. Don’t be fooled by how much Kant valued the “Drondheim” castle at this point. If they obtained a better territory in the future, the political center would directly shift.

The crisscrossed plains and the busy river banks were not comparable to this small desert oasis.

Kant wanted to expand the battlefield.

This was very simple.

The main road and Stone Pass of the Senwaya Range and the Nahrin Desert had already been controlled by him.

At present, Fateh was still stationed there with his men. At least from the current situation, although the situation in the Dukedom of Leo was turbulent, it had not completely erupted yet. It would take at least half a year for it to develop.

Those noble families would not act on their own accord. They needed more information before they could act.

This time was left for Kant.

The noble families that the table salt trade had seduced were almost finished.


As long as Kant showed his strength, he might still be indifferent on the surface, but secretly, there would definitely be many noble families who would be attracted by the huge profits and be willing to maintain a friendly relationship with Kant.

Noble families were also merchants. Although honor was important, there were very few who would die for honor and not care about the great silver coins.

Moreover, the most important thing was.

Kant’s military might was already not low!

As long as this heavy cavalry unit headed to the stone pass and showed it to the noble families of the Dukedom of Leo, they would be able to make them understand that they’re the ones that’ll last!

A large number of extraordinary forces.

A larger number of heavy cavalry and light cavalry groups.

If it was a field battle, Kant would be able to fight against all the noble families of the Dukedom of Leo alone!

As long as it was not a country-destroying battle and both sides gave up everything to fight, Kant would be in an undefeatable position. He would not be afraid of the alliance formed by the collusion of any noble families, even if there was the call of the royal family!

Kant was the supreme lord. He was dictatorial and irreplaceable.

The Dukedom of Leo was different.

Grand Duke Cameron was the main body.

And those nobles, big and small, were branches.

The other wealthy citizens and free citizens were side branches.

As for those ordinary civilians or slaves armed with cannon fodder troops, they were just the last leaves.

It was very troublesome for them to launch a battle. They needed to keep in touch with each other layer by layer. In addition, there might be some friction and conflicts between some noble lords, which required special care.

This was the complexity of the feudal era.

Kant was different.

With the existence of the system, he was the Supreme Lord.

He had more power than the most dictatorial emperor. He was a supreme figure who held both imperial and divine power in his hands.

Just like the troop class that came from the world of cavalry and hacking, they were loyal to Kant physically and revered Kant spiritually. It was as if they worshipped Kant as an emperor and a god. They were the most loyal subjects and believers who would not betray!

“Level up of the troop class can also be arranged.”

Kant muttered.

The Swadian knight could be properly leveled up to the royal knight and the Sarion lion knight.

As for the over 1,000 swadian heavy cavalry, they could be upgraded to the level up of the Swadian knight who was good at charging and the Sarion lion attendant who was good at fighting, giving Kant more choices.

The desert bandits were much simpler.

The current experience points were several times more than before.

It was estimated that it would not be a problem to upgrade all of them to the level up of the Sarrandian Horseman in one go.

Perhaps there would be some experience points that could be directly upgraded to the level of Mamlukes, this top level 5 heavy cavalry that was more suitable for fighting in the desert environment!

Currently, there were still 50 Mamlukes stationed in the “Drondheim” castle.

However, they were stationed at the east gate.

They held a hammer-like two-handed iron staff, a round steel shield, and a body full of heavy chain armor. In fact, their combat strength was not inferior to the Swadian knight and the Sarion lion attendant. In such a special environment like the desert, they were even more stable than a line.

It was just that there were not many of them, and Kant did not completely integrate them into the heavy cavalry unit.

But what happened next was different.

As a new batch of Sarrandian people grew up, these Sarrandian sultanate troops were able to take charge of their own forces.

And these cavalry soldiers who were good at fighting in the desert region had already been considered by Kant into his own strategic direction. After all, when he was fighting against the undead, he deliberately brought these desert bandits, who were still considered low-level light cavalry soldiers, for this reason.

Although the Sarrandian sultanate’s Mamluke could not level up in his extraordinary strength, he was more suitable for fighting in the desert!

This was the advantage that the race brought.

The banquet continued.

The cheerful singing continued until late into the night.

However, on the walls around the “Drondheim” castle, the soldiers who were in charge of keeping watch did not relax at all.

After enjoying the delicious food, they were still at their posts. They were extremely vigilant as they scanned their surroundings, afraid that something unexpected would happen. After all, the layer of white bones on the battlefield outside was not very clean.

After all, this banquet would last for seven days, and everyone could take turns to participate.

These seven days were very enjoyable.

They spent the whole day drunk.

There was an unlimited supply of ale and wine. It could be said that this was only the case for a large-scale banquet.

Of course, in the last two days, everyone recovered. Even if they were still having the banquet, they restrained their emotions. Occasionally, they would talk about their next job or explore the situation around them.

Although they were temporarily safe, they were not completely off the hook.

At this time, there was good news.

“Lord Jocelyn is back.”

A newly recruited desert bandits came to report as a messenger.

“Yes, I understand.”

Kant nodded.

However, he still frowned slightly. “Ask him to arrange the trade caravan and come to the council hall immediately.”

“Yes.” The desert bandits retreated.

Jocelyn had left Drondheim Castle for nearly a month. He had gone to Fangorn forest before the undead appeared. According to the usual situation, he would go back and forth once every half a month. Clearly, there was a change in the time.

Kant was a little curious about this.

But soon.

Jocelyn returned to the council hall and bowed with joy. “Lord Kant.”
