Chapter Ninety-Two: The System of Fraudulent Corpses
There was no word all night, mainly because Duke and Tiger were not particularly familiar with each other, and he was also a little defensive of Tiger in his heart.
Therefore, I rarely talked to him, and I did my own thing during the whole night watch.
As a grand knight from the Templar, prayer was originally one of Tiger's compulsory classes. So he spent the whole night kneeling in the direction of the Holy Radiance Cathedral in the center of the continent, holding the emblem on his pendant, and whispered prayers.
Duke was also happy to be idle, and eventually picked up his old job as a magician and began to meditate on Duke.
After being in the Fortress of the North for so long, Duke had only a handful of time to meditate, and most of the time he used the magician's essential skills as a tip to help him fall asleep quickly, rather than as a daily homework to increase his mana.
After all, for a lord, his personal strength is not actually the main thing, and being able to develop his own territory and make the people rich is the last word.
However, when meditating, he still has a considerable sense of what is going on around him, and if something unexpected happens, he will not be unable to react.
Thankfully, the camp was quiet throughout the second half of the night, and there were no outsiders to disturb everyone's rest, as if the Church was really weak and could not do anything further than give a mischievous warning.
When the sky brightened in the morning, Duke stretched out and soothed his stiff muscles.
A few sparse figures began to appear in the rear camp, and some soldiers who had only been slightly affected had also woken up, and began to prepare for washing and cooking in an orderly manner according to their previous routine.
If it were a normal confrontation between the two armies, some soldiers might be arranged for drills and training, but now that there are not many people and the rescue mission is carried out in a tight time, there is naturally no such arrangement.
By the end of the day, everyone in the camp had woken up, including a few who had been severely affected yesterday.
In addition to worrying, Duke also paid special attention to a few people, and then he realized that his worries were a little unnecessary.
As the commander of the whole army, Lenia has accumulated power and strength, and no one dares to disobey the orders she has issued, so in fact, it seems that the entire team has not been affected.
After everyone had eaten lunch and rested for a while, Duke ordered the camp to be re-set out and continue further to the destination of the rescue of Agnes.
It's just that this march was much more cautious than before, and many of the places that were originally marked as safe by Tiger also needed to be re-investigated, and the whole team would not move forward again until the second time it was confirmed that it was safe.
"You said it would be best for us to arrive in a few days, and we would be able to speed up a little bit and arrive the next afternoon. ”
On the way forward, Duke found a gap and asked Tiger Dao. The original plan was to arrive at the place of distress that Tiger said about tomorrow evening, but due to the delay of the Church last night and the slowdown to prevent a sneak attack, it was impossible to arrive according to the original plan.
Tiger thought for a while and replied: "I think it's good to continue at this speed, I have the 'Soul Attracting Lamp' in my hand that can show the state of Her Highness the Holy Maiden, and the light is still very strong at this time, which means that Her Highness the Holy Maiden is still relatively safe at this time and can resist some more time." ”
Soul Lamp?
After listening to Tiger's words, Duke was very surprised, he didn't expect that the Church of Light would have such a thing similar to a life card, and Tiger this kid had been carrying this thing without speaking, if it wasn't for the fact that the situation was critical now and Duke asked, it is estimated that he would not mention it in the end.
"If we are at the current rate, we will probably arrive in the morning of the day after tomorrow, and we will ...... by then."
Silently calculating the speed and mileage of the march in his mind, Duke was about to say what he would do next.
It's just that when he was halfway through his speech, a long-lost mechanical sound suddenly came to mind:
[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission: Armament Rectification (500/500)]
[Get Reward: Dwarven Magic Package, Exchange Points× 3000]
[Successfully Taken Mission: Exploring the Dukedom of the North]
【Reward for completing quests: ???】
This series of mechanical announcements suddenly echoed in Duke's mind, and even startled him at first.
The main thing is that he has almost forgotten that he has a system, he doesn't know how long he hasn't been connected with his system, the system doesn't care about him, and Duke is a little skeptical that the system he got is a test version.
And the systematic judgment on the task of [Rectification of Armaments] is also very confusing, sometimes the number of people who meet the requirements of the task fluctuates several times a day, and what is even more annoying is that it is getting smaller and smaller.
He really didn't expect that when he left the Northern Fortress to carry out rescue activities in the depths of the Dark Mountains, this mission would be completed by himself inexplicably.
"Lord?" Lenia asked a little strangely when she saw her lord being halfway through her speech and then froze.
At her call, Duke immediately recovered from the shock of the system's return, turned his head and asked Lenia a little strangely, "Are the soldiers in the Northern Fortress barracks still training?"
"Don't worry, lord, I have already arranged the training to my deputy before leaving, and when we go back, it is estimated that most of us will be able to master the use of new weapons and form combat effectiveness. ”
No wonder!
Listening to Lenia's explanation, Duke suddenly understood in his heart why he was able to complete the mission in the northern fortress even in the depths of the dark mountains, it turned out that Lenia had already arranged it before leaving.
Soon, his attention returned to the rewards of the mission, after all, the words dwarf magic package had a lot of appeal to him from the name.
However, in his heart, he still hoped that the sword talisman and armor talisman would not come out before they were fired, because the soldiers of the northern realm who had now used the magic rifle no longer needed such heavy magic armor.
Now their armor is mainly pursuing lightness and affordability, and many times the opponent may not be able to get close to them at all, so most of the protection is still soft armor and leather armor that can protect against long-range attacks, and the iron ones have basically been eliminated except for helmets.
With some apprehension, Duke kept the expression on his face and rode the horse normally, while giving the command to turn it on in his mind.
In a flash of light that did not exist in reality, five swarthy wooden boxes appeared in Duke's system storage bar.
