Chapter 76 Mithril Ore
Richie rushed to Utt and ignored the guard's cry for help. But when he got closer, he found that Baron Utt was pale and unresponsive. Richie stretched out his trembling fingers and touched Utt's neck, and was shocked.
"Dead?"
"My Lord, be careful!"
Richie was just surprised that Baron Ute had died when he heard the shouts of soldiers from the wall. But it was too late. Richie was worried about Ute's injuries and the ore on the carriage, so he did not further verify the identity of the caravan. He was only a mid-level bronze knight, and facing the sneak attack of Gervis and Nashen, he was destined to die.
"kill!"
Gvisna Shen was not walking in front of the team just now, but hiding at the back, because they were worried that Richie would discover their cultivation as bronze knights.
They waited until Richie was concentrating on checking Utt's injuries before they quickly walked up to Richie and attacked the mid-level bronze knight without hesitation.
With two muffled "pu" sounds, Richie was hit by Gervis and Nashen at the same time. Gervis attacked Richie's lower body, while Nashen attacked Richie's neck.
While Gervis and his companion were attacking Richie, other soldiers also drew their swords and attacked those soldiers in the camp who had not yet reacted. There was a sudden shout of killing in the camp, especially on the wall. Because there were the largest number of people and the fighting was the most intense, people were hit and fell off the wall from time to time.
After Gervis and Nashen successfully ambushed Richie, they did not hesitate at all. They looked at each other and rushed to the city wall where the fighting was most intense.
When Lanny's soldiers on the wall saw Gervis rushing over, two archers drew their bows and shot at Gervis at the same time. Gervis did not dare to be careless and moved to the side to avoid one arrow. At the same time, he slashed with the sword in his hand to deflect the other arrow.
kill!
After the crisis was resolved, Gervis shouted loudly, circulated his fighting spirit on his legs, and jumped up from the wooden ladder. The wooden planks under his feet creaked instantly. Gervis used this force to jump more than three meters high, and landed directly on top of the wall, coming between the two people who had just shot the arrows.
Puff~Puff~
Before the two men could react, Gervis had already ended their lives. The low-level bronze knights were not afraid of close-range attacks by ordinary guards, but they were also very dangerous when facing hidden arrows. If they were not careful, they would easily fall into the ditch, so Gervis eliminated the two archers at the first opportunity.
From the moment Gervis and his companions entered the camp, the fate of the camp was already sealed. No matter whether Gervis and his companions could get rid of Richie in the first place, Gervis could take over the camp with a huge advantage, it was just a matter of casualties.
After killing five soldiers in the camp in a row, Gervis realized that there were no enemies nearby and the battles around were over. All his men were searching around with swords to see if there were any escaped enemies. He checked carefully and found that none of his subordinates had fallen to the ground. Only a few were slightly injured and were being bandaged by their teammates.
Ding! System task completed!
Reward: 5 energy points, additional energy points doubled, total reward is 10 energy points.
With a ding sound, a system prompt sounded in Gervis's mind. Gervis quickly opened the panel and found that 10 energy points had been credited to his account. The kiwi fruit icon in the redemption mall had also lit up.
"Ha ha!"
Gervis looked at the images on the panel and thought about what he had gained tonight, and he couldn't help but laugh happily. Tonight's events could be said to be full of twists and turns, as if with divine help. From giving up the ambush at the beginning to the great victory now, Gervis truly felt that sometimes luck is also a kind of capital.
The guards who were still searching around the camp heard Gervis' laughter and all looked in his direction. Seeing Gervis standing on the wall with a bloody sword in his hand and laughing loudly, a complex look of admiration and fear flashed in everyone's eyes.
The reason for the admiration was that they saw clearly all of Gervis' actions tonight. A junior bronze knight killed three titled knights in a row, including a top-level bronze knight. Whether Gervis did it by luck or trickery, the guards didn't care. After all, on the battlefield, the result was the most important.
If Gervis had been replaced by them at that time, they probably wouldn't have had the courage to rush out of the woods. After all, as long as Gervis showed the slightest flaw, the high-level and top-level bronze knights could kill him with the sword within ten moves.
The fear was because there were dead bodies all around Gervase, but he could still laugh so happily, which made them feel a little creepy. Even the soldiers sent by Gandalf had been on the battlefield, so they would be afraid of Gervase's behavior at this moment.
Gervis didn't know that he was just happy that he had not only completed the system task but also got back what belonged to him through his own efforts tonight. He laughed subconsciously, but was misunderstood by the guards as a bloodthirsty person.
"Master Gervis, come down quickly!"
Gervis only laughed twice before realizing that his behavior was a bit inappropriate, so he stopped smiling. At this moment, he heard Nashen's shout.
Gervis looked in the direction of the voice and saw Nashen standing next to the carriages, waving at him excitedly.
Gervis then remembered that he had fought hard tonight but still had not seen what had caused the fight. So he quickly walked down from the wall and walked towards Nashen.
"Lord Nashen, what is it?"
When Gervis saw Nashen’s excited expression, he knew it must be a good thing, so he couldn’t wait to ask while walking.
"Mithril!" Na Shen's hands were shaking a little. When he heard Gervis' question, he looked around and then answered Gervis in a low voice.
"Silver?" Because Nashen's voice was a little low, Gervis could not hear it clearly. He only heard the word "silver" clearly and thought it was a silver mine. He immediately smiled happily.
"Mithril!" Na Shen rolled his eyes. Seeing that Gervis thought it was a silver mine and was so happy, he was speechless. He was a little worried whether Gervis could bear it.
"Secret...Secret silver?" Gervis had already run to Nashen's side and finally heard Nashen's words clearly. His eyes widened and his hands began to tremble like Nashen's. He couldn't even speak clearly.
"Shh! There are too many people talking, Master Gervis, please keep your voice down." Nashen quickly reminded Gervis that although the guards they brought with them were loyal and trustworthy, there were too many of them after all, and there was no guarantee that these people would not inadvertently reveal the truth.
"Well, is it really mithril?" Gervis still found it hard to believe, so he lifted the sackcloth on the carriage, only to see that it was filled with ore. The ore was mostly black, but there was a little silver mixed in it.
It was indeed mithril. When Gervis saw the appearance of the ore, he finally confirmed it.
He had learned about Mithril, such a rare thing, when he was in the aristocratic school.
Mithril is the main material for making reinforced coatings, which is ten times more expensive than gold. In addition to being used as reinforced coatings, mithril can also be mixed with other iron materials and forged into weapons and armor. As long as a certain amount of mithril is added, the effects of the forged weapons and armor will be improved several times.
If an army were equipped with weapons and armor made of mithril, the combat power that would be unleashed would be absolutely terrifying.
"Luckily, I managed to rob this batch of mithril today. Otherwise, I would have regretted it so much if I knew the truth later!"
Reaching out and touching the mithril ore, Gervis thought to himself how wise the ambush plan he had made that day was.
