Chapter 75 The Disaster Spreads

"Is this the dragon blood fruit?"

Key's eyes almost lit up as he looked at the baskets of red fruits in front of him.

"Does this thing really have one-third of the effect of the secondary dragon blood potion?"

Sunan smiled slightly and said, "Do you want someone to try it?"

"No need, aren't you and I worried?" Key laughed.

Of course, he was not questioning Sunan, he just said that because he was too excited.

Because the supply speed of the secondary dragon blood potion could not keep up, the expansion speed of the Black Rock Cavalry Regiment slowed down significantly during this period.

Even with the full support of the entire territory, the current number of the Black Rock Cavalry Regiment is only maintained at around 300.

Among them, the number of knights accounts for only about two-thirds.

It is still a long way from the full knight army that Key expected.

He dreamed that Sunan would come up with a substitute for the secondary dragon blood potion as soon as possible.

Fortunately, this problem has finally been solved.

With this batch of dragon blood fruit, the Black Rock Cavalry Regiment, which has been stagnant for a long time, can finally accelerate its expansion again!

Brad, Joton and Starley standing behind Key also had happy faces.

They all knew what the dragon blood fruit meant.

With this, the military power of the Flash Territory can usher in another wave of rapid expansion!

"By the way, this is for you."

Sunan threw a dragon blood fruit to Key.

The latter subconsciously reached out to take it and asked in confusion: "This is..."

"Specially made dragon blood fruit, after eating it, you should be able to break through and be promoted to an intermediate knight." Sunan said.

In fact, this is a synthetic dragon blood fruit, which uses hundreds of dragon blood fruits.

If converted into dragon blood potion, it is almost equivalent to three or four bottles of top-grade dragon blood potion.

After hearing Sunan's words, Key's spirits suddenly lifted, and he carefully put away the dragon blood fruit, preparing to find a suitable time to eat it later.

This kind of good thing must not be wasted by swallowing it whole.

It is best to practice breathing method immediately after taking it to achieve the best absorption effect.

After coming back to his senses from the joy, Keyi smiled and said, "I have issued a decree. From now on, all children over the age of twelve in the territory must undergo qualification tests. Those who are found to have the qualifications of wizard apprentices will be sent to the base and trained by you."

After a pause, Keyi hesitated, and finally couldn't help but say, "Can you lower the standard for selecting wizard apprentices?"

The huge Flash Territory finally selected only three wizard apprentices, which is really too few.

Su Nan shook his head and said, "Being able to read enlightenment books is the lowest standard."

Wouldn't he like to select more apprentices?

It's just that the standard has been stuck, and he can't do anything about it.

People without wizard qualifications are useless even if they are sent to the base. At most, they can only do some daily cleaning work.

And these are already taken care of by the clay golems.

In the final analysis, the selection and training of wizard apprentices is a long process, and it can't be rushed.

With the current population of Flash Territory, it is already very good to have a qualified apprentice every two or three years.

Unless the territory expands and acquires more territory and population, it is impossible for the number of apprentices to increase significantly in a short period of time.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Jordan in the back couldn't help but glance at Starley, sighed and whispered: "I really envy your Kore, who can become a student of Lord Sunan. Why doesn't my kid have this talent?"

Mentioning his son, Starley couldn't help showing a proud expression on his always solemn face.

When his son was tested to have wizard qualifications, he was so happy.

If his son becomes a strong man like Lord Sunan in the future, the McKinning family may prosper and become a real aristocratic family.

Seeing Starley's proud face, Jordan felt sour in his heart as if he had eaten a lemon, and began to wonder whether he should have more children.

"My youngest son will be twelve years old next year, and I will let him take the test then." Brad said with hope.

With Starley's son as an example, all the knights in the Flash Territory who have married now hope that their children can have a wizard.

Key did not pay attention to the whispers of the three subordinates, and talked to Sunan about another topic.

"The beast disaster in Ranshuang Province is getting worse and worse. Not only in Yinling City, the beast disease has also begun to spread to other towns."

Sunan was surprised: "Didn't Marquis Ranshuang send troops to suppress it?"

"I heard that during the suppression, dozens of knights in the army were infected, causing the situation to deteriorate suddenly. The army sent to suppress it suffered heavy losses. I guess Marquis Ranshuang is now in a state of panic."

Sunan's mouth twitched slightly.

Beast disease usually comes at the cost of completely losing reason, and the strength soars, similar to a permanent state of rage.

If a knight is infected, it is normal for the combat power to increase by one or two small realms.

If a peak knight is infected, the combat power can even soar to the level comparable to a great knight.

Dozens of knights infected are enough to directly attack a fully armed cavalry regiment of 1,000 people. Just thinking about it makes people feel headache.

I don’t know how the generals in charge of the suppression let things develop to this point?

As if seeing Sunan’s doubts, Key continued: "The general in charge of the suppression has been dismissed by Marquis Ran Shuang. The new one is Lord John. He is a senior general who has followed Marquis Ran Shuang in battle for many years. He is also a legendary knight. With his help, the beast disaster should be suppressed soon."

Key's words were full of confidence.

After all, the legendary knights were already the top combat power of the Principality of Stars.

It was easy for such a strong man to suppress a group of irrational infected people.

In fact, all the nobles who knew about this matter had similar ideas.

But the development of the situation caught everyone by surprise.

In the year 1251 of the Starlight Calendar, the Spring Dawn Moon (March).

The legendary knight John was besieged by thousands of infected people in Magnolia City and died of exhaustion.

The elite cavalry regiment accompanying him was completely wiped out.

As soon as the news came out, it shocked the entire Principality of Stars, and countless nobles focused their attention on the Frost Province.

In the Thunder Moon (April) of the same year.

The beast disaster spread rapidly at an alarming speed.

Except for the central city of Frost City, almost all of the Frost Province had beast disease.

And the Silver Ridge City, the source of the disaster, became a ruin.

The provinces of Hulan, Hongye and Baita, which border Ranshuang Province, set up blockades on the borders, prohibiting the people of Ranshuang Province from entering the territory.

In the same month, Marquis Ranshuang asked for help from the capital and requested the capital to send reinforcements.

The next month, Grand Duke Fanxing sent troops into Ranshuang Province and began to suppress the infected.

For a time, the entire Principality of Fanxing seemed to be filled with a precarious atmosphere.
