"Poof."

Blood splattered, and the dagger drew from the gnolls' eye sockets.

Kant flicked his arm, and the blood stained with the sword body immediately threw a flash of red on the ground, and raised his foot to kick away the jackal who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, his face was a little tired after relaxation: "It's over." ”

A strong scorching smell permeated.

But the stronger smell of blood is like substance in the mouth and nose.

Immanuel Kant was surrounded by corpses.

Most of them are gnolls, but you can also see some of the fallen warriors of Swadia.

This battle, under the resolute raid of Kant and his death, has come to an end.

And the ownership of the Narun Desert was also announced to change hands at this time.

The gnoll tribe was engulfed in flames, and a heat wave swept through it, connecting those dry tents into a world of flames, and even the gnolls who didn't have time to escape were burned alive and choked to death.

This is a tribe where the gnolls thrive.

Now it has also become a graveyard after their destruction.

As for Kant.

It is to stand on the edge of the flames, to watch the raging fire engulf and burn, to feel the heat wave to dispel the cold of the desert night, and to feel the cruelty of war.

Because he is the victor.

He is the conqueror of the Narun Desert.

He is a noble baron from the Duchy of Lion.

That's enough.

The soldiers of Swadia stood behind Kant, equally looking at the fire in front of them.

The burning flames did not make them afraid, but rather warmed them a little.

They had just finished fighting, and they were very tired.

The face was covered with blood, and many people were limping to support each other, and if you looked closely, you could find that almost everyone was injured, which showed how tragic the previous fight was.

In this raid battle, Kant and they already had the upper hand.

But in the face of the jackals' counterattack, they were still hit hard.

Heavy casualties.

"Two-thirds of them stayed here."

Kant turned his head and swept over.

sighed in his heart, there were less than 100 people standing behind him, and everyone was injured.

Turn your head to look at the eastern sky.

A beam of dawn light pierced the thick darkness, and a faint fish white also appeared in the sky.

It's almost dawn.

"Dada..."

In the midst of the fire, the sound of horses' hooves was heard.

Fatis took the lead, rushed out of the sea of fire with four or five elite desert bandits, grabbed the reins next to Kant, and made a sound of "Hoo-" in his mouth to control the war horse under his crotch to stop.

"I'm back."

Kant nodded to Fatis with a look of relief: "It's a pleasure to see you again." ”

This is his only general.

And Fatis rushed out of the sea of fire, obviously also burned by the flames, if it weren't for the iron helmet, it is estimated that even the hair would be burned to death, look at the mane of the war horse under the crotch, you can know that it has been burned by a small half, and the body is also pitted, mixed with the wound that was hit by the mace before, it is very terrible.

Fatis thanked gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, Lord Kant. ”

Turning over and dismounting, Fatis took out a package from the cloth bag on the horse's back, handed it to Kant, and said, "My lord, this is something that was seized from the gnoll shaman. ”

"Huh?" Kant took it.

Reaching out and opening it, there was a staff broken into pieces, and a rather old book.

Kant's gaze was solemn.

The staff was made of some kind of fine wood, broken by trampling, and was collected by Fatis in its entirety, most notably the tip of the staff, which was inlaid with a dark black gem the size of an egg.

This kind of thing he had seen in the Duchy of Lion, it was the source of power for the staff.

The royal mages of the Lion Castle are armed with similar staffs to assist in spell casting.

But what caught Kant's attention the most was the old book.

"What is this?" Kant couldn't help frowning.

Picking up the book, it was soft to the touch, and the exterior seemed to be made of delicate sheepskin, and although it was old and filthy and dirty, Kant's heart throbbed suddenly, as if he were holding something terrible.

At the same time, a system dialog box pops up.

【Ding... After your bloody battle, you won the battle. 】

[Main Quest: "1st Strong Enemy" completed]

[Rewards: 10,000 dinars, 1,000 prestige, 10 honors.] 】

[Introduction: Defeating a strong enemy is just a stepping stone.] A new journey awaits you, please keep up the good work. Believe in your own abilities, and no one will be as terrifying as the first strong enemy. No one can stand in your way. 】

On the system dialog box, the task is completed.

Kant chuckled.

This was to be expected.

The gnoll tribe in front of them turned into flames, and even after it was extinguished, only ruins were left here.

No gnolls will continue to live here.

Even if they escape from the tribe and survive by luck, they can't live for too long in the cruel environment of the Narun Desert, not to mention the blazing high temperature and the scorching low temperature, which are all death scythes that can harvest life.

At the same time, a new dialog box appeared on the retina.

【Ding... Because of this battle, you won more with less, and achieved remarkable results. 】

[Rating: Epic Victory.] 】

[Gain Fame× 100 points. 】

[Honors× 1 point. 】

This battle was directly judged by the system as an "epic victory".

Kant smiled at the corner of his mouth.

The low-level class of 300 people directly killed the 2,000-person gnoll tribe, winning more with less, attacking the strong with weak, and of course the epic victory is deserved.

But Kant turned his head.

The soldiers behind him stood crookedly, and the smiles on their lips faded.

Even in the case of a surprise attack, these heroic soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

Svadia light infantry, only 10 people remained.

Swadia militia, only 31 people remain.

Swadia recruits, only 46 remaining.

The desert bandits are elite, and there are only 5 people left.

All combined, there are only 92 troops left.

It can be said that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and all the rewards obtained by Kant in the last battle are directly spelled in.

War is a huge mouth for swallowing gold.

【Ding... Someone in your unit can level up]

To Kant's relief, the remaining units that won the victory could at least be upgraded.

After the upgrade, the troops are basically elite.

"Open the class list."

Kantian thinking communication system, a dialog box immediately pops up on the retina.

………………

[Upgradeable Class: Swadia Recruits×46 Troops]

[Costs 10 dinars per person, can be upgraded to: Swadia militia]

【Ding... At present, the experience is overflowing, and all employees can be continuously upgraded]

………………

[Upgradeable Class: Swadia Militia ×31 people]

[Costs 20 dinars per person, can be upgraded to: Swadia guerrilla marksman/Svadia light infantry]

………………

[Upgradeable Class: Swadia Light Infantry× 10 people]

[Costs 50 dinars per person, can be upgraded to: Swadia Infantry/Swadia Heavy Cavalry]

【Ding... At present, the experience is overflowing, and all employees can be continuously upgraded]

………………

[Upgradeable Class: Desert Bandit Elite ×5 people]

[Spend 40 dinars per person, can be upgraded to: Salander Rider]

【Ding... At present, the experience is overflowing, and all employees can be continuously upgraded]

………………

On the system dialog, the class upgrade interface is clear and straightforward.

Kant's heart was beating faster.

The fruit of victory, but so delicious!

All staff are upgraded.

And it can be upgraded additionally.

Even if it can't be upgraded to a higher class, it can improve the quality of the troops currently led by Kant.

As long as he survived the post-war period of weakness and absorbed the fruits of this victory, Kant's forces would usher in a second surge.

Just like after the last night raid.

But before Kant could upgrade his class, a dialog box appeared on the retina in his eyes.

【Ding... After your careful inspection, you found something unusual.]

[Special Mission: "Exploring the Mystery" has been completed.] 】

[Reward: 5,000 dinars.] 】

[Introduction: You have obtained loot in the Gnoll tribe, which contains mysterious powers.] 】

On the retina, the dialog box of the system made Kant slightly stunned.

"Special mission?"

Kant finally remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

Just last week, when I came here to investigate, the system issued a special mission.

For a while, in order to deal with this gnoll tribe, Kant forgot about this special task, and now he was reminded by the system, and he couldn't help but suddenly realize.

He looked down at the Broken Staff in the package in his hand, as well as at the mysterious ancient book.

Kant knew in his heart that the system was talking about these two things.

The system also gives an answer,

【Ding... Temporary Task Release]

[Temporary Mission: Assistance from the System]

【Reward: Village Upgrade】

[Introduction: This is a world with mysterious powers, and these items with the power of the law are the energy that the system urgently needs, do you choose to absorb the mysterious objects you get to the system?] 】

[Note: The system will receive an amplification after absorption.] 】

[Yes/No to give the item to the system to absorb?] 】

Kant was even more stunned.

There is no choice at all for the temporary tasks issued by this system.

Regardless of the rewards obtained, the village can be upgraded.

Or a note that didn't appear before already shows that the system really needs these things.

Kant nodded, did not hesitate, and chosen: "Yes." ”

The system is his only help in this world, it is the real reliance, which is equal to both prosperity and loss, Kant is not so stupid, what reservations do he have about the system.

This is my own golden finger.

Even in Kant's heart, this golden finger is more precious than his cheap parents in this world.
