Chapter 244 - Leveling Up of Mage Apprentices
Chapter 244: Leveling Up of Mage Apprentices
On the battlefield, many demons had already fallen to the ground and turned into corpses.
Dark red blood flowed freely.
The rich smell of blood was mixed with the unique sulfur smell of demons. Coupled with the dark black blood of the demonized creatures and the rotten smell, it was also pungent and unpleasant, just like a slaughterhouse that had failed the hygiene test.
Now the battle was set.
Most of the demons were annihilated in the square.
Only a few agile imps and a few lucky long-horned demons managed to escape Kant’s army’s pursuit and escaped into the city wall of the underground city. They were lucky enough to survive.
The remaining demons were less than 30 in total, so they were no longer a threat to Kant.
Bandake led his troops and gathered again.
Everyone was injured, and many of them were limping. It was obvious that they were seriously injured.
From the chain mail and shields on their bodies, it could be seen that their original refined appearance had become tattered. It was obvious that after this battle, they had to be repaired or replaced through the system.
There was also the treatment of their injuries. Kant had James, a specialist physician, so he did not have to worry.
“Lord Kant.”
Bandake’s tone was filled with relief, “We won this battle.”
“That’s right,” Kant said.
This battle wasn’t easy. Even if they won, it was close to a pyrrhic victory.
Turning to look at his soldiers, not only were they all injured, their equipment was damaged, and there were many casualties. The brave soldiers that remained on the battlefield made Kant’s heart ache.
These soldiers were all his elite infantry troops.
The top-notch Rhodoks soldiers had combat strength comparable to the peak of knight-level. Seventeen of them died in battle, leaving 23.
133 of Rhodoks’s skilled spear-wielders had died, leaving 87.
As for the mage apprentices, they were protected by Rhodoks’s sniper crossbowmen, who held a wide shield and a spiked warhammer, as well as the Ravenston Rangers and Patrollers, who held two-handed greatswords. None of them died in battle, and they only suffered minor injuries.
As for the Swadian heavy calvary, they suffered heavy losses.
Of the 188 heavy cavalry soldiers who came, there were only 103 left, and the number of casualties was 85.
The 103 who survived all suffered minor injuries.
“It’s really a pyrrhic victory.”
Kant frowned. The results of the statistics made him feel extremely depressed.
Ever since the expedition army of the Kingdom of Gray Mane attacked the city, the entire Drondheim had won such a pyrrhic victory because it was still considered a fortress at that time, and there were fewer troop class. It had been a long time since Kant had lost so many troops in battle.
More than half of the 500 troops brought from Aaron’s village had suffered casualties.
“However, it’s good that we’ve won.”
Kant’s expression returned to calmness.
A dialog box instantly popped up in the mind communication system’s eyes.
System’s troop class interface.
Right behind the troops that Kant was currently leading, there were indeed symbols that represented level up.
From the moment they entered the ancient passage to the outside of this underground city, Kant had led his troops to deal with nearly a dozen waves of demonized creatures. They had killed the ancient passage, and there were still the remains of demonized creatures left in the ancient passage, they did not even have the time to dig out the negative energy gemstones in the heart. They could only wait for the follow-up troops to follow up before they had the time to collect these gemstones.
However, the experience points obtained in the ancient passage were enough for some of the level 3 and Level 4 troop class to level up.
Now, they had completely annihilated this demonic troop in the square of the karst cave.
The experience points instantly filled up.
The entire troop class 3 could even level up continuously!
Obviously, the experience points gained from wiping out this demon army was much higher than the demonized creatures that were killed in the ancient passage. It was at least several times higher!
It was no wonder.
Although the demon army was a strange creature, it could also be considered as a regular army.
Demonized creatures were all transformed from wild beasts. They were basically inferior troops. Naturally, their experience points were lower.
It was enough to let all the troops level up.
Kant was currently lacking troops to continue attacking the dungeon!
“System, level up!”
Kant’s thought communication system immediately gave an order.
The dialog box on the retina changed.
[ ding… system prompt ]
[ all members level up, a total of 24,540 denar. ]
[ yes/no, choose level up? ]
This was a notification and confirmation from the system.
It was another expenditure of nearly 25,000 denar, but Kant did not feel any heartache at all. He said in a deep voice, “Level up confirmed!”
Instantly, the crisp sound of denar colliding rang in his ears.
Data spread.
The entire body of the troop class that could level up was suffused with data.
The great power from the system descended and instilled into these troop class. The combat experience, weapons, and equipment that should appear, as well as the body that had become stronger and stronger after growing in age and training!
Rhodoks appeared.
The Ravenston Ranger appeared.
And the strongest cavalry, the Swadian Knight appeared!
The entire troop class led by Kant was upgraded to A Level 5 troop class.
After regrouping, there were a total of 110 Rhodoks sergeants, 20 Rhodoks sniper crossbowmen, 87 Ravenston Rangers, and 85 Swadian Knight.
There were only 302 troops left.
However, after the level up of the troop class, their combat strength had increased by several times!
Rhhodoks soldiers, who were as strong as a fortress, the Rhodoks sniper crossbowmen, the Ravensdon Rangers who shot accurately and rapidly, and the Swadian knight who could topple mountains and overturn seas.
Bandake looked at these elite soldiers, his face full of joy.
There wasn’t a general who didn’t like these elite troop class.
“Very good.”
Kant nodded to himself, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.
“I salute you, my Lord!”
The newly appeared top troop class respectfully bowed to Kant.
Their attitude was extremely good.
And right behind Kant, there was also a greeting to him, with a bit of calmness, and even a hint of elegance that belonged to a noble. “I salute you, my Lord.”
Kant seemed to have thought of something.
He turned around abruptly.
The seven mage apprentices were behind him.
But when he turned his head, he saw seven middle-aged mages wearing blue-black mage robes, holding purple-robed staffs with jewels inlaid on top, and blue-black mage hats on their heads.
Their appearances could still be vaguely seen. They were the seven mage apprentices Kant had recruited at that time.
But now, they were middle-aged, in their thirties.
“You have become official wizards?”
Kant’s breathing was a little rough, and his eyes lit up slightly. Apparently, he had already guessed the reason.
“That’s right.”The seven wizards bowed slightly, and their movements were no longer as frivolous as before, they bowed to Kant in a very calm and respectful manner. “We have gone through magical learning and training to obtain the quota that you have given us. From there, we obtained the power that we have now, and became official wizards.”
“That’s great.” Kant nodded. A bright smile appeared on his calm face.
This was indeed something to be happy about.
These mage apprentices did not level up after experiencing several battles with magic creatures.
Unexpectedly, after wiping out the demon army, these mage apprentices’experience points were maxed out. They were able to level up and become seven official mages who had mastered official spells!
Wizard apprentices were equal to a troop class of level 4 from the moment they were recruited,
as an upgraded version of the wizard apprentices, the mentor of the Enfath Empire who was responsible for teaching the wizard apprentices was level up to level 5. Due to the mysterious aoe elemental spells, AOE buffing spells, and the power of spells to summon natural elements, their combat ability was almost impossible to measure with the troop class.
This was the reason why Kant had a smile on his calm face.
It meant that he had obtained a new army!
“Mysterious Wizard.”
Bandake maintained the army and walked over with respect, he said to Kant with great emotion, “They played a great role when they were apprentices. Now that they have become official wizards, it’s really exciting. How will their strength increase, but they will definitely be stronger.”
“It’s like this, my Lord, my Lord Bandake.”
The leading wizard smiled and explained, “The spells we learned went from three to seven.”
“Seven spells.” Kant nodded, and the number of spells increased by four.
“Yes.” The wizard continued to explain, “Our initial magic bullet spell, Fireball spell, and sharp golden blade have a stronger power and greater destructive power. In terms of overall effect, it should be three times more than when we were apprentices.”
“Yes.” Kant nodded. “What about the newly learned spells?”
“The newly learned spells are summoning lightning, fatal deep freeze, nature summoning, and group acceleration.”
The mage explained in detail, “Summoning lightning is a single-target attack, Fatal Deep Freeze is a group attack, and nature summoning is just like its name. We can summon golems that are based on earth elements.”
“There’s also group acceleration,” Kant said.
“Yes, this is a status spell,” the mage said. “Using this spell can provide the soldiers with faster movement speed. Based on our current strength, we estimate that it should increase their movement speed by 30% for 30 minutes, the same duration as the current sharp golden blades.”
“30% movement speed.”Kant raised his eyebrows slightly.
“That’s right, I’m very sure.”The leader of the Wizards nodded.
“No, I don’t doubt it.”
Kant chuckled and looked at ban dake who was also shocked. He smiled and said, “Just like Bandake, when I heard that it can provide an additional 30% movement speed, I was very surprised.”
“That’s right.” Banake nodded and said solemnly, “30% movement speed is very important.”
30% movement speed was not to be underestimated.
With the infantry, they could quickly fill up the gap in the battle and stabilize the formation.
With the archers, they could advance and retreat faster, and the support to the Allies would be more timely and accurate.
With the cavalry having 30% movement speed, it was even more shocking!
The cavalry’s speed was already fast. The faster the speed, the stronger the impact, and the more damage they would cause. If it was a top-tier heavy cavalry like the Swadian Knight, combined with the [ Lion Knight Order Medal ] that Kant had previously obtained, shortening the cavalry’s charging distance by 30% , speeding up the charging stage, it was enough to destroy the enemy’s front line with a wave of charge!
Therefore, why would kant be suspicious? He could not be happier!
“Very good, this is very good!” Kant nodded and praised the mages. “Now, all of you can be considered as battle mages, and can join any army’s combat sequence!”
