CHAPTER 443: CHAPTER 412: DIRECTLY HEADING TO THE CAMP

This battle was fought with a smaller force against a larger one.

The deaths on Kane’s side were less than 100 soldiers, while they completely annihilated over 4000 enemy forces, a resounding victory indeed.

The wounded soldiers didn’t even need any assistance in treatment; such was the exhilaration of the victory that they automatically recovered.

And during the battle, those who killed more enemies or showed exceptional bravery were upgraded in their strength.

For example, two of Kreya’s Heavy Cavalry Captains have already been upgraded to Silver level.

Of course, most soldiers merely advanced from Copper level to Copper Peak or reached a bottleneck.

The newly upgraded Silver-level soldiers were only these two, as they charged the fiercest.

At this moment, a burly man with a fine beard rode up to Kane; he is a Bow Rider Captain under Kane’s command, entrusted with managing the entire Cavalry Archery Team.

"Abby, organize our manpower to collect those war spoils," Kane instructed him.

"Yes, commander."

The soldiers habitually called Kane Centurion, but after Kane corrected them, they now call him commander, as Kane Centurion was too cumbersome.

The soldiers recruited by Kane and his Explorers can be considered as Explorers in this dungeon; they too can kill enemies and see the equipment dropped.

Kane and his team nearly exhausted themselves collecting the war spoils, gathering the spoils of thousands was no easy task.

As for Lily-Lu? She’s mingling with her Light Cavalry.

These Light Cavalry kept calling her "Your Majesty the Queen," to Lily-Lu’s delight.

Seeing Lily-Lu’s smug expression, Kane shook his head helplessly.

A surge of Magic Power entered the Ruby Lapel Pin on the collar, connecting to Kreya’s channel.

"How are things on your end, Kreya?"

"Only a few dozen enemies left; we’re pursuing them. Have you finished on your side?"

Hearing the sounds of battle from Kreya’s side, Kane refrained from disturbing, waiting for them to wrap up.

Yuyu stood by Kane’s side, categorizing the war spoils the soldiers brought over.

Organizing them separately by Gold Coins, Equipment, and Magic Materials.

Further separating Equipment and Magic Materials by different levels.

Different levels are easy to distinguish; any Explorer can identify them by their varying magic fluctuations.

Yuyu’s scanning can distinctly identify different levels of Equipment and Materials.

Kane sat nearby, proceeding to appraise these Equipment and Materials.

Mainly to check if there were any outstanding Equipment or Magic Materials with unique Attributes.

From Kane’s side, nearly all soldiers were felled by their own hands; only a few enemies were taken down by the 500 soldiers leading Horn’s team.

Therefore, the acquisition rate of war spoils on Kane’s side was high, likely more than Kreya’s side, since Kreya’s team couldn’t match the rate of 4000 soldiers slain.

However, if they didn’t split into two groups, Kane’s team would almost inherently forsake the war spoils on the other side, which would be a loss.

The dungeon’s vast expanse suggests that Kane’s team will often split into two or multiple groups in future campaigns against enemy forces.

This is key to maximizing their earnings.

They came to this dungeon to mine, to acquire abundant resources; gaining more resources is their primary goal.

Before long, Kane generally appraised all the Equipment and Materials.

Compared to last time, Copper-level high-quality Equipment increased significantly, but Gold Coins decreased, barely over 100. Aside from some trash, Silver-level Equipment yielded two superb items, both weapons.

A War Axe and a Longsword; if these two pieces had skills beyond sharpness, Kane might present them to Kreya.

However, the sole excellency of these weapons lies in their Attributes; they have no distinct qualities, which Kreya wouldn’t even glance at now.

Magic Materials were not only Copper-level, but also included Silver-level ones, though just enough to fill a Silver Magic Stone slightly.

Much less compared to last time.

Once Kane sorted the war spoils, Kreya’s voice transmitted through the Ruby Lapel Pin.

"Kane, our battle is over, and we’ve collected the spoils; we can begin action now."

"Alright, we’re ready here too."

After finishing the conversation with Kreya.

Kane stood up and addressed the soldiers resting nearby: "All troops, prepare to advance."

Upon hearing Kane’s words, the soldiers immediately rose, arranged their Equipment, and formed ranks, moving toward the previous direction of the enemy’s arrival.

Lily-Lu’s four feline scouts had observed and explored the enemy’s camp for most of the day, awaiting Kane’s team’s arrival.

Indeed, yesterday Kane and Horn agreed to annihilate the enemy forces first, giving no chance to breathe, directly charging into their camp to occupy both directions.

Once each side conquered and occupied the enemy camps, they could then advance from the left and right flanks towards the fortress guarded by enemy forces.

Securing this fortress between the mountain ranges would afford them a breathing space.

And they must act swiftly, or the enemy reinforcements will come.

Initially, Horn’s plan was merely to occupy the camps on both sides, wait for conditions to assemble siege weapons, and then attack the fortress.

Otherwise, with their current forces and no siege weapons, attacking the fortress would be as futile as trying to crush a stone with an egg.

However, under Kane’s assurance, they agreed to swiftly capture the camp and surround the fortress from two sides.

After all, Kane and their performance on the battlefield gave Horn a foundation to trust them.

For Kane, what engineering equipment is needed to attack the fortress when he himself is a walking engineering contraption, a walking explosive expert?

A fortress made merely of stones, unless reinforced with magic metals and various arrays, is nothing more than a big toy building block to Kane.

Kane is riding on his mechanical warhorse.

As for Lily, she’s not lazing around on Kane’s shoulder; certainly, you can’t expect her to flap her wings and fly either.

She is currently riding a mechanical flying horse that matches her size, flying around Kane.

As for how this mechanical flying horse came to be? Of course, it was constructed by Kane, but it’s only suitable for this size—if it were modified to Kane’s size, it wouldn’t be able to fly.

Kane’s research into large floating arrays and flying magic still remains in small detailed devices; if he wants to create a human-carrying large aircraft, more in-depth research is necessary.

At least he has some clues.

The floating island at the World Restaurant is so large that technology used there is completely documented in information, and Kane just needs to fully understand this technology.

Then he can create large floating devices.

Sky Island, Sky City are foreseeable in the future.

At this moment, a tiny thumb-sized rainbow teleportation gate appeared beside Lily, and as the note dropped, a floating steel block caught it and delivered it to Kane’s hand.

This note is much thicker compared to the previous information conveyed, and Kane opens it to check.

It detailed the remaining troops and distribution within the camp Kane and their team are heading to.

Very few, less than 2,000 ordinary human auxiliary soldiers and a few hundred patrolling soldiers.

Thus, the entire camp is unable to resist Kane and their forces.

After reading it, Kane pinched the note and called the nearby bow rider over: "Abby, you lead all our cavalry to head to the camp first, the enemy camp currently has very little active force."

After speaking, he turned to Lily, who was playing around, and said, "Lily, let’s have you lead the troops into battle."

Just as Kane finished speaking, Lily flashed directly in front of him: "Really? Really letting Lily lead a unit to attack?"

Lily’s tone was full of excitement.

Kane nodded: "You and Abby, take all our cavalry and eliminate all the soldiers in the enemy camp, we’ll follow you shortly, is there any problem?"

"No problem, no problem." Lily said and flashed into the front line of the light cavalry team.

Seeing this, Kane nodded to Abby.

Then he saw 400 various cavalry speeding towards the enemy camp along with Lily.

Kane’s hand appeared with a flagpole, the banner on the pole had a lantern-like symbol.

He raised it and waved it twice, loudly commanding, "All troops march forward briskly."

Hearing Kane’s command, all the soldiers quickened their pace, and the infantry broke into a jog.

When Kane and their team arrived at the enemy camp.

The enemy’s camp was slowly changing from blue and white to red and white.

This indicates that the entire camp and area have been completely occupied by the red forces, devoid of any remaining enemy active forces, and the transforming style signifies the mark of occupation.

It seems Lily and their team have already eliminated all enemy forces in the camp.

"Everyone, rest in the camp, cook and eat."

Upon hearing Kane’s words, the briskly marching soldiers cheered briefly and entered the camp to rest.

Within the camp, Abby approached riding a horse, coming directly to Kane’s side.

"Commander, the enemy has been completely annihilated."

"What are our casualties here?"

"Under the leadership of Lady... Commander Lily, we have no casualties."

Kane nodded.

Following Abby, he approached the side of the camp’s main tent.

Immediately he saw Lily, sitting on a small chair, counting gold coins with a greedy look.

Kane shook his head and ignored her, while individually identifying the spoils collected by nearby soldiers.

This time there were only a dozen Mist Coins and more than ten pieces of junk equipment and magic materials.

Waiting for the entire camp to completely change from blue and white to red and white.

"You go ahead." Kane said to Abby beside him.

Then he picked up Lily, still counting gold coins, and headed inside the tent.

Sitting in a chair within the tent, he began to communicate with Kreya through the Ruby Lapel Pin on his collar.

On the other side, Kreya and their team chose the same tactic as Kane, being carried by Cotton Candy directly into the enemy camp from the air, dealing devastation.

When Horn brought his subordinates to march in quickly, the camp was already in the process of transformation.
