Chapter 35: Post-War Processing
Winter's death caused a violent explosion of his corpse, and although only a small part of the soul fire entered Winter's body due to Gonzalez's swift attack, even though this part had already caused a lot of damage. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe corpses of the lich that exploded outside the moat have even spread to the city walls. Yellen and Cecil soon noticed the end of the battle on this side as well. But Cecil didn't have time for that, and he was now disposing of the last vampire.
When Cecil killed the vampire left behind by the last winter, Cecil's experience had risen to level 40, and with a "ding", a pleasant system prompt came as promised
System Prompt: You reach level 40 and you are the first player to reach level 4, Strength +4, Endurance +4, Constitution +4, Dexterity +4, Spirit +4
System Prompt: The "Wharton City Attack and Defense" you commanded ended in victory, strength +10 stamina + 10 constitution + 10 dexterity + 10 spirit + 10 your kingdom reputation +200
Cecil finally came to level 40, and even the prestige of the kingdom that had been reduced by 100 was increased by 200, but Cecil didn't bother to pay attention to these, he first looked at the battlefield of the lich and Gonzalez's deputy commander, only to see Gonzalez coming over calmly, although Rindong forcibly burned the soul fire to improve his strength, giving Gonzalez a lot of pressure, but Gonzalez was a lot stronger after all, and he had rich combat experience, so he still won without danger.
"Thank you for coming to the rescue, I'm really grateful." Cecil said to Gonzalez.
Gonzalez waved his hand: "This is what we should do, putting this army in the city is the responsibility of our Knights of the Shield, we are just making up for our mistakes." ”
"This is Henry's deliberate collaboration with the enemy, how can you blame your lordship." Cecil said hurriedly.
"We do have responsibility in this matter, and we should also have a basic grasp of the areas where each acting officer is responsible for defense, and we will formulate corresponding policies in the future to prevent this from happening today." Gonzalez said, "Actually, the captain was very shocked this time, so he urgently used the griffon, not just for this kid. Gonzalez glanced at Yellen.
Gonzalez mentioned the leader of the shield paladin, and Cecil couldn't help but think of this big man, Bolvar is the most powerful paladin in the entire kingdom, even the four legendary paladins left in the temple are not as strong as this Bolval, he can be said to be a hero that Cecil has admired since he was a child, which is still in Cecil's memory even after the fusion of the two souls after the crossing. Even Jin Xin himself is very strange that there are heroes to worship in the memories of people like Cecil.
And Yellen was a little embarrassed, the son of the earl has been serving in the Shield Paladins since he joined the army, although he is young, but his family lineage is an excellent template coupled with the hidden profession of the Divine Grace Knight makes Yellen very outstanding, and he has been promoted to the captain of the wing in less than 10 years, and can even lead a phalanx of 300 people in battle, and he is definitely a star of hope for the kingdom.
This time, Yellen heard that she saw that her Wharton City was attacked by the undead, and immediately guessed that the motive of the undead was the remains of her ancestors, and then decisively asked the regimental commander to use griffons to let herself and Gonzalez return first, and finally succeeded in turning the tide of the battle.
Of course, it is also very important that Cecil can defend for 2 days, and it can be said that if it were not for Cecil's arrival, I am afraid that no one would know that Henry smuggled the body of the Marquis to Dia. So Yellen is also very grateful to Cecil.
Gonzalez then expressed his appreciation for Cecil's heroic fight against the army of the undead, and Cecil recommended Sanders to him, hoping to help Sanders get a good job, but Gonzalez only responded coldly to Sanders.
Sanders, who was still seriously injured, didn't seem surprised by this response, and Cecile suddenly felt that there might be something taboo about Sanders, which might have a lot to do with what he said earlier about offending a nobleman, and Cecil felt that it was necessary to figure him out when the time came.
Cecil was a little heartbroken when he took stock after the war, this time the money he collected from Henry was almost eight or nine tenths spent, and more importantly, a lot of supplies in the city were almost used up, and prices would definitely soar in the next few days, especially the water storage problem in the reservoir, the water in the moat flowed down the flow to other rivers in the lowlands, and now some water had to be transferred from elsewhere, otherwise even the draft would become a problem.
To make matters worse, Sanders' mercenary group was almost wiped out in the last wave of undead attacks, and the rest fled. This team, who had only made great contributions to this small city, was almost vulnerable in the face of the absolute superiority of the undead, which made Cecil feel a little heartbroken, after all, these people were all fighting under his command, but now they were almost the commander of the light pole. It can't help but make people sad.
This mercenary group was established by Sanders with great effort, because Sanders himself offended the big people in the kingdom, so he could not be promoted within the kingdom's system, and as a result, he finally established such a mercenary group in the south, but he could only do some low-end tasks in peacetime, Henry valued Sanders' own ability to accept this mercenary group, and turned them into the actual garrison of Wharton City.
As a result, the war was completely wiped out, and Sanders' ten years of hard work were almost in vain.
A force of 300 men from the Shield Paladins arrived a day later, this is the force commanded by Yellen herself, and the lowest level of this force is a 50-level soldier template, which is the strength of the elite regular army of the kingdom. It's just that this time the army arrived obviously a little late, and the war was already over when they arrived.
Deputy Commander Gonzalez led his troops back to the Fire Spirit Castle on the front line on the same day, because the defensive task of the Knights of the Shield Life was actually very heavy, so it was not cost-effective for too many soldiers to stay in the rear for a long time.
Yellen stayed, because she needed to contact Count Cassikud to deal with the corpse of the Marquis of Cassikud, and after 10 days, she received news that Count Cassikud had rushed to Wharton City with Fiorina with his troops, but because the royal capital was far away from here, it would take at least 20 days to get here, even if it was a rapid march, it would take at least 20 days to get here. It was here that Yellen and Cecil were working on the aftermath of Wharton
These days, when Cecil is working on the aftermath of Wharton City, he gradually understands a lot about the operation of a city lord, and through the cooperation with his subordinates in various lands and secretaries, Cecil gradually becomes familiar with how to govern a city. How to allocate materials in a region and how to arrange the government affairs of a region, although it was only a short ten days, it benefited Cecil a lot.
Sanders took the initiative to find Cecil these days, although he knew that Cecil was not a famous family, but Sanders still decided to follow Cecil to become Cecil's personal soldier, which made Cecil very surprised, because he was just a lord knight, and his annual income of 5,000 gold coins was actually not even a fraction of Sanders's past, even if he gave it to him, it was not enough to see at all.
It is a little unthinkable to accept a level 60 earth shield guard as a personal soldier at his own price, Cecil was a little embarrassed because the mercenary group built by Sanders fell apart under his own command, and he was a little scared to see Sanders say that he wanted to be his personal soldier, and agreed to Sanders with anxiety, and said that Sanders could leave directly if he was higher.
Sanders's idea is actually very simple, he has been extremely downtrodden to Cecil as a personal soldier, even the powerful man he once offended will no longer stop him, and he may even be happy because he is so down, and although he is low, at least he has the opportunity to enter the system and climb up again
Although Cecil has no background, his growth is extremely high, and he is almost a revelator, even if this kind of talent does not have an official position now, the future is unlimited, and as his first subordinate, he will not worry about rising in the future.
Although the mercenary group was wiped out, Cecil himself still gained a lot of prestige among the people of Wharton City, because in the end Gonzalez and Rindong were not seen by people, half of the citizens gave the credit to Cecil, after all, Cecil's continuous fighting in two days was seen by almost all the ordinary people who participated in the defense of the city, and even a bard made up the story of Cecil's garrison of the city into a story to sing, Cecil was really a little crying and laughing, and repeated explanations were useless, and in the end he could only let it go.
In the next days waiting for the arrival of Lord Earl, Cecil carefully recalled the battles in recent days, and continued to meditate every day, Cecil is now level 40, and his fighting spirit has exceeded more than 1500, and the damage of his own fighting energy skills on any battlefield is already a not low number, and Cecil has added 210 attribute points that have not been added since level 19 to strength. His own attack is already approaching the 3000 mark
Cecil has decided to take the route of the punitive paladin, and when he was in the second order, he became a punishing templar, and then practiced his various skills hard to become a warrior among the paladins, and then relied on martial arts and abilities to make up for the lack of blood defense, of course, Cecil did not have the problem of insufficient blood defense under the exaggerated growth of the law breaker.
