From Witcher to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 12 The Source of Magic Power

The city guards already had an absolute advantage in numbers and equipment. After Lann joined the battlefield, their morale was boosted, and they almost wiped out the robbers with a destructive momentum.

In the end, only the robbers who were seriously injured and survived fell to the ground and groaned weakly.

Lan En followed the voice and approached the seriously injured robber, raised his knife and dropped it, gaining another experience point. No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat.

The deputy captain on the side stepped forward, wiping off his cold sweat. He was really scared to death when Lann rushed out just now.

"Master Earl, you can go and rest on the sidelines, and leave the job of cleaning the battlefield to us."

"No, I have to come." Lan En said firmly, "And I will come in the future."

The vice-captain choked for a moment and felt that he couldn't speak.

After speaking, Lane shouted loudly to stop the soldier on the other side who was seriously injured and wanted to make up the knife:

"All of you don't care about this place, go count the casualties and take care of the injured companions, and go count the harvest if you have extra hands!"

Seeing Lan who quickly stepped forward and stabbed another robber, the two soldiers who were cleaning up whispered:

"Our Lord Earl... Is he enjoying it too much? I'm a little scared."

"Why do you think so? Shouldn't he be sympathetic to us and give us priority in rescuing and caring for the wounded?"

"That's what you said..."

"And he took the lead. I've only heard that the Earl is the new champion of the martial arts competition. I really didn't expect him to be so brave. I've only heard about this kind of knight with one enemy in poetry before..."

The two soldiers looked at each other: "It really is Lannister!"

At the same time, a line of translucent subtitles suddenly appeared in front of Lan En's eyes, accompanied by a sound like a holy sigh:

[Task [City Defense Iron Guard Part 1] has been completed]

[City Defense Iron Guard Part 2]:

[The tempering of blood is far more profound than that of Khan. This may be able to quickly form a qualified army, but there is still a long way to go before the real iron army. Many things are more important than exercise, such as cohesion, or belief. 】

【Character level +1】

The experience of more than a dozen robbers and the completion of this series of missions directly helped Lan to reach the first level again!

Mission: City Defense Iron Guard II, Wandering Bandits]

Without any hesitation, I added the extra skill points to [Mountainless], and the description of the skill became——

[Mountainless]: When dodging, the damage value of the attack is reduced by 60%. Adrenaline Toxin Increase: +3%. (3/5)

After adding the skills, the situation on the task bar attracted Lan's attention. The bandit camp was wiped out, the military training task was completed, but the bandit suppression task was not completed?

What is the reason for this? Is there a fish that slipped through the net? Or is it because there is more than one bandit camp?

Hey, there are thirty or forty people in this camp, any more people can pull up a small rebel army, enough to attack small towns.

Looking around, there are still two robbers who have not made up their swords and howled on the ground. Fortunately, the leveling up was fast, otherwise there would probably be no more people alive.

Lan En waved two soldiers to tie up the seriously injured robber, and told them to stay alive for interrogation later, and the deputy captain on the side came forward to report the battle damage.

"My lord, the count is done. This time, a dozen or so brothers were slightly injured, but the problem is not serious. Only three soldiers died, which is a very good ratio of battle damage."

The deputy captain's disapproving attitude made Lan frowned immediately.

"With so many of us and such good equipment, why did three of us die?"

Seeing that Lan En seemed a little angry, the deputy captain hurriedly explained: "These are vicious villains, and there are always veterans. Our people are all recruits, and there are always people who see the oncoming ax and forget to hide.

A sword has no eyes, my lord. "

Lan En thought for a while and asked, "How much is the pension for the casualties?"

The deputy captain reported a number that was far lower than Lan's imagination, but it was almost nothing to those soldiers.

Lan En thought for a while and asked again: "How much have you gained from suppressing the bandits this time?"

The deputy captain reported a figure that was much higher than the income of the soldiers, which was almost nothing for Lane's net worth.

According to the previous practice of nobles leading troops to suppress bandits, all such seizures would become the private property of the leading officers. The gains of the soldiers can only be seen by how much the nobles leaked from their fingers.

Or soldiers can choose to develop some gray income or even "blood income" during the war, which is why the poor in this world see officers and soldiers as they see monsters.

This also allows civilian mercenaries and monster hunters such as demon hunters to have business.

Lan looked at the soldiers who were bandaging the wounded, and turned to the deputy captain and said, "Distribute the seized things to everyone, and give more to the brothers who died. You know how to do it."

The vice-captain was taken aback by this decision, and he nodded his head and left until Lane repeated it again.

Then I heard the soldiers start cheering again, which made Lann feel much better, even faintly overshadowing his joy of upgrading. He walked over to his horse and stroked its mane, making it snort comfortably.

"Lord Lannister."

The vice-captain's voice suddenly sounded behind him. Lan turned around and saw that the other party was holding a box in both hands, and asked to hand it over to him.

"Didn't I say divide everything?"

"Of course, I dare not disobey your order." The deputy captain whispered, "But everyone dare not want this thing."

Lan frowned and raised his hand to take the box. It feels slightly heavy and cold in the hand. It is a box made of metal wrapped in wood that Lann can't name, and there are many weird and harmonious patterns carved on it.

"It was in their chief's tent, wrapped in several layers of sheepskin."

There is a small buckle on the top of the box, which is deflated. It is estimated that there used to be a lock on it, which had obviously been picked. Lann opened the box, and there was a transparent crystal the size of a fist lying inside, wrapped in red velvet and shimmering.

Lan En was taken aback.

The vice-captain glanced up at Lan En's stupefied appearance, understood it, and smiled triumphantly.

"We really can't divide this thing up, so I want to show you. And according to your order, according to the merits of the battle, you should also get a share."

"I have seen crystals and diamonds of this quality before. All adults and wives like them, and even those warlocks who talk about them will study these things."

"This kind of thing is not what we should have, so I think you will like it."

He was talking ramblingly, and a translucent reminder had already popped up in front of Lane's eyes.

"Of course." Lan nodded and said, "Of course."
