7 KINGDOMS: conquest
208. return to camp

the battle in the kingdom of Mecius now made Noran more aware, this land of Artenia is a cruel land and full of conflict.

just counting the bandits, there were thousands of them both vile groups and large groups with headquarters like a city.

also, along the border there were still many small kingdoms as well as powerful families that became landlords or independent nobles.

"chaotic land" Noran said with a cynical smile.

"this land is indeed chaotic, vast grasslands that are the separation of two large kingdoms into land that is attractive to each side.

the potential of small kingdoms is growing very high, and so is the risk" Esline said.

Noran nodded.in addition to his great potential, but the danger was also great.I can be sure the two sides of the great kingdom put up a small and hidden resistance.

sabotage, is the highest possibility.By making a bandit group and constantly weakening the enemy is a simple but effective strategy.

Noran thought maybe that was the cause of the many bandits in the land of Artenia. Noran was still worried about the Andoran mountains.Mountain bandits were also famous in several other regions, making it likely that there were bandits there.

'our living quarters are too complicated.' Noran thought with a wry smile.

during the trip, Noran checks out his mission. He had decided to immediately clear the southern side of the mainland and cut Artenia in half.

the most important priority is sea lanes, in addition to being intercontinental transportation routes, this makes it possible to create a navy.

Noran remembered why the giant kingdom of the archipelago was able to form their sturdy dynasty.the key to conquering the archipelago was its naval fleet.

during the trip, Noran spent time chatting with Esline and the others.The brand looked happy while conversing.

one day trip passed just like that. To get to the camp at least took a few more hours.

the troops stopped and began building tents, preparing dinner and preparing for the night.

"sir, there are reports of a falcon rider" Grim said.

"report?" noran.

he read the letter that Grim brought, after reading it he just smiled and changed his clothes into armor.

"alright, looks like we're gonna have to hunt tonight, Trevis!" noran.

a large white tiger appeared, showing its fangs that were as sharp as knives.

the black mane was also its long claws making it look even grander and dashing.

"ho! you're showing yourself again?" noran said via telepathy.

"of course, the mount of the master must be authoritative!" trevis answered by telepathy.

kiak!!

the garuda flew in the sky and spewed out his fire, showing his intimidating presence.

his gaze seemed to imply that Trevis was too arrogant, and now Faltra was showing her dominance to him.

"huhah!" Noran just laughed at the behavior of the two.

"Grim, Ruli, organize the troops and set up a defensive formation.we will wander around for a while.

cavalry troops, you will come with me. There is an enemy we must hunt tonight." said Noran.

"ohhhhh!!!" the horsemen shouted excitedly.

they stood up and immediately rode on their horses and lined up neatly.the long thin swords they pulled and brandished into the sky, showing incredible combat spirit.

"go!" shouted Noran.

the figure of a black-armored knight, with fluttering black hair was seen riding on a savage-looking white tiger.

Noran led the horsemen to a nearby bandit group.The bandits were still relaxing and enjoying their night with wine and other things.

when they saw the arrival of the cavalry with full equipment, they were shocked.

"you-you-enemy! enemy attack!" shouted one of the bandits.

but soon he was stabbed by a long sword.The long thin sword pierced through his stomach and tore him to the side.

"enemy attack!" shouted the other bandits.

more bandits are screaming. Noran and his army circled their tents and slashed at every bandit that appeared.

"raghh!!"

screams of pain and howls of sadness filled the night, mixed with the howls of wolves in the distance.

"fucking shit! who dares to wreak havoc on my headquarters?!"

an old man with a thick beard and a ferocious face came out. he wore armor of some kind of scales that coated most of his body.

a long sword with one blade, as well as a cigar in his mouth he walked furiously.Seeing the cavalry that circled his base and continued to slash at his subordinates.

"royal forces?! which kingdom dares to attack my group?!" the bandit leader shouted furiously.

the next moment, a white tiger jumped up and stopped before the man.with a figure of passionate youth on it, the bandit leader chuckled.

"even with this weak youth leading the way?! godammit! don't expect me to be so kind!" shouted the bandit leader.

two horned panthers appeared and stood at the side of the bandit leader, trying to intimidate Trevis but to no avail.

'only the panther wants to scare this king? the king of the white tigers?' trevis said in his telepathy.

his gaze became sharp and filled with hostility, staring at the two panthers before him like their prey.

"kill that man!" shouted the bandit leader.

the two panthers jumped up and darted towards Trevis. Noran immediately jumped down, letting Trevis speed up against the two panthers.

on the other hand, the bandit leader had approached Noran and slashed his sword. Noran who had yet to draw his sword, parried the slash with his arm.

bang up!

a loud buzz filled the ears of the two, the bandit leader was surprised to see his sword held in Noran's hand.

"can't be?!"

the bandit leader was shocked to witness it. Amid his shock, a cold sword slashed down his neck.

[ding! kill the bandit leader! exp +3.000!]

[ ding! clean up the small bandit group! exp+ .... ]

the notice continued, filling his exp bar slowly.200 bandits were massacred with no remains, after which the spoils were collected along with their armor and weapons.

the corpses were piled into one and burned, to prevent it from becoming a living corpse.on completion, Noran and his troops again proceeded to clean up the other group.

there were 5 other groups that they destroyed.the booty in the can also be quite large, with an additional 750 horses belonging to the bandits.

the other treasures were also quite numerous, there was a large pile of coins and jewels in the ring of Noran's space mixed with the best silk clothing clothes.

"the wealth of the bandits is incredible.cleaning the area and robbing them of their property, that's a good idea." Noran murmured.

when morning came, Noran and the others resumed their journey.

meanwhile, somewhere else..

a very dark room with the illumination of several candles.a man sat down and breathed heavily.

he held a wooden stick in his hand and sat on a chair that resembled a stone throne.

"how's the end result?" ask that figure.

a heavy and cold voice without the slightest emotion in it. Just hearing his voice was able to make others frightened.
