Chapter 37: Robbery, sharing of spoils and seven-color life flower

On the afternoon of September 20, a group of mountain dwarves escorted thirty sheep carts slowly forward in the wilderness.

The leading mountain dwarf rode a goat with a horse head, holding an iron hammer, and looked around vigilantly to ensure the safety of the team.

Now that they have reached the human border area, the escorted goods have to make him cautious.

Suddenly, hundreds of knights crawling in the surrounding wilderness stood up, and everyone threw out the long spears in their hands, and then launched an attack.

The whole process was very smooth, and more than 30 mountain dwarves who did not react fell to the ground on the spot.

"Enemy attack, everyone defend, protect the ore."

The leading mountain dwarf waved the iron hammer and ordered loudly.

Looking at the humans who appeared around, even if he had no brains, he knew that the news of the escort had been leaked, and they were ambushed in advance by this group of greedy humans.

Orcott found the target and rushed straight to the leading mountain dwarf.

Soon, the hammer and the long sword collided with each other, and the fighting spirits intertwined with each other. Both humans and mountain dwarves stayed away from this area.

Soon, other silver knights found their targets and fought with silver-level mountain dwarves.

Weilin looked at the situation on the battlefield and felt stable immediately.

Many to one, two to one, they had an absolute advantage in numbers, whether it was high-end combat power or low-level battlefields.

"Damn humans, you are looking for death." The leading mountain dwarf looked at his increasingly scarce subordinates, burst out his potential, and pressed Alcott to fight, making it difficult for the over fifty-year-old silver high-level knight to resist.

"Edgar, Brian, come and help me."

After hearing this, the two silver mid-level knights who had solved the opponent immediately went to support Alcott.

Facing the siege of three people, the mountain dwarf leader gradually fell into a disadvantage, and Alcott seized the opportunity to cut off his arms.

"Ah——"

"Damn it."

The mountain dwarf leader looked around, and only a few subordinates were left, most of whom died at the hands of humans.

"Humans, you will pay the price, and Marquis Darrag will definitely find you."

"Hehe, that has to wait until he finds us."

The next moment, the mountain dwarf leader was killed, and the remaining mountain dwarves were all killed by swords without exception.

Afterwards, everyone began to clean up the battlefield, collect the heads of the mountain dwarves, and bury the bodies of their fallen colleagues.

In order to avoid unexpected situations, the group did not stop and prepared to return to the Lake of Praying Stars before dividing the spoils.

After the large army left, Weilin threw the centaur token that had been cleaned with deodorizing potion into a hidden bush as a slander.

On the way back, Orcott chose to go around the border of the Sepulo Province to give the other party false information for safety reasons.

…

In a wooden house at Qixing Lake, Weilin put the statistics of casualties and the amount of supplies on the table and officially started the meeting to divide the spoils.

Orcott, the temporary commander-in-chief, acted as the host without hesitation and presided over the meeting to divide the spoils.

"The captured spoils are divided into two parts, one is the heads of mountain dwarves, and the other is mountain copper, Nubian black goats, horse-headed sheep and weapons and equipment. I propose to divide them according to different proportions."

"The heads of mountain dwarves will be divided according to the number we killed. Other supplies will be divided according to the contribution ratio."

The other three heard this and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Alcott continued, "In this battle, the people I brought with me killed 17 bronze knights and injured 23 bronze knights. Edgar had 11 bronze knights killed and 9 bronze knights injured. Brian had 6 bronze knights killed and 13 bronze knights injured. Verin had 3 bronze knights injured."

"In this battle, a total of 237 mountain dwarf heads were captured, 83 of which were inferior, 148 were bronze, and 6 were silver."

"So..."

Half an hour later, the meeting ended and everyone got their own spoils.

In this battle, Verin obtained a total of six carts of mountain copper ore, totaling about 12 tons, 12 Nubian black goats, 6 horse-headed sheep, 30 sets of dwarf weapons and equipment, one silver-level mountain dwarf head, 16 bronze-level mountain dwarf heads, and 26 mountain dwarf heads.

At this stage, these mountain dwarf heads are of no use, but they will be of great use when he becomes a baron and is promoted to viscount.

In the Kingdom of Ilia, those below the duke stage can be promoted to a noble title based on military merit.

Of course, there are age restrictions in each class.

For example, as a count family, the Ex family has long reached the standard of becoming a marquis in terms of strength and military merit, but the family has only a history of 700 years, and there is still a 100-year distance from the inheritance conditions of 800 years.

The day after the division of the spoils, the three of them led their troops to leave the Lake of Praying Stars one after another.

After everyone left, Weilin entered the farming mode, continued to develop the territory, supervised the construction of castles, and organized military training.

In order to deal with the jackals two months later, Weilin even began to organize private citizens and serfs for training so that they could quickly replenish troops when they were damaged in battle.

"My lord, you are looking for me." Baird came to Weilin's study, beat his chest and saluted, and said.

Seeing this, Weilin stopped writing and told Baird: "Next, I will give you a task."

"My lord, please give me your orders."

"In the next two months, I need you to lead the army, organize a collection team, and collect all usable things within a ten-kilometer radius."

"Remember, destroy everything that cannot be collected, and never leave any behind."

"Yes, Lord."

After Baird accepted the order, he immediately left the study.

Weilin came to the window, looked at the calm lake, and said to himself: "Two months, solid walls and clear fields, without any food around. I want to see how this group of incoming jackals can be dealt with."

With only more than two months left before the monster attack, he must speed up and improve his strength.

Soon, on the night of October 1st, destiny once again brought valuable news to Weilin.

[There is a cave at the bottom of the Lake of Prayer for Stars, in which seven-color flowers of life grow. 】

"Seven-Colored Flower of Life."

Weilin got up from the bed, came to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out a book with records of many magical plants.

Soon, he found the information he wanted.

"The seven-color flower of life is a rare magical plant. According to legend, it is a plant loved by the goddess of life. It can quickly recover from injuries, repair dark wounds on the body, restore body functions, and extend one's lifespan. It is an extremely rare magical plant. "

"In addition, the seven-color flower of life can enhance the magical talent of the user."

"The value is huge. The discoverer recommends handing it over to the Temple of Life, which will gain the favor of the goddess of life."

When you see this last sentence, you don’t have to think about it. It must have been added by the church.

The Seven-Colored Flower of Life is a magical plant of great value. Except for fools who would hand it over to the church to obtain illusory honors, no normal person would believe this.
