Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 626: Excavating the Lost City

After all, in the riding and hacking game, the Swadian Sergeant was the highest troop class in the Kingdom of Swadia. In the entire Continent of Caradia, only the Kingdom of Nords had a 6-level troop class — the Nord Royal Guards, everyone called this troop class the Emperor of Nords. One could see how impressive and domineering it was.

To be honest, the Emperor of Nords’ troop class was not stronger than the Swadian Sergeant. Kant was full of anticipation for the Swadian Sergeant to advance to a 6-level troop class, and he was confident that they would not lose to Emperor of Nords.

“Special effect ‘Strong Soldier’, activate!” With a thought, Kant directly activated the special effect of “Glory. Sword of the King”.

Streams of golden data chains shot out from “Glory. Sword of the King”, instantly enveloping 200 Swadian Sergeants. Within the golden data chains, very quickly, the golden data chains retreated and the level up was completed.

Kant immediately knew the result. The 200 Swadian Sergeants were all promoted to a 6-level troop class, the Swadian Royal Guards. Kant was extremely satisfied with the name of this troop class that was similar to Emperor of Nords’.

The body of the Swadian Sergeant had expanded, becoming taller and stronger. At the same time, the plate armor on their bodies had also become thicker and heavier, and their defensive capabilities had greatly increased. The tower shields on their backs were wider and thicker than the level 5 Swadian Sergeant. The Swadian infantry swords hung on their waists, and the infantry spears in their hands were even more exquisite than the Swadian Sergeant’s.

Compared to the Swadian Sergeant, the Swadian Royal Guards were all-rounded. At the same time, their 6-level troop class was slightly different from the cavalry world. In this world, a 6-level troop class was a powerful existence at the Grand Knight level. They all had extraordinary powers, and the Swadian Royal Guards were an exception, their extraordinary powers were the same as the Swadian royal knight — the King’s Power.

Reputation points had all been used up. Kant’s subordinates had an additional 200 Swadian Royal Guards. This was not a qualitative change for a million-level enemy or Kant, who had over 200,000 troops, however, Kant was elated. He had already fantasized about turning his troop classes into all sorts of level-6 troop classes.

Of course, this was purely Kant’s own idea. With the special effect of the “Glory. Sword of the King”, its advancement to a 6-level troop class was not faster than the previous Sword of the King bestowing the title of Swadian royal knight. It was just that many more troop classes could be promoted.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

In the castle of Drondheim, there were 200,000 soldiers gathered, ready for battle. However, the Jackalans and Lizardmen who were 200 kilometers away seemed to be fully devoted to excavating the city, they completely ignored Drondheim, who could be said to be right in front of them.

However, Kant was very annoyed. As long as the Jackalans and Lizardmen did not leave, he could only ensure that the city of Drondheim had enough soldiers to defend it.

Thus, Kant had the intention of taking the initiative to attack the Jackalans and the Lizardmen. However, while he was waiting for the Jackalans and the Lizardmen to attack, he was busy with the main quest, “Build an empire”. Although Kant had tacitly agreed that his territory was called the Caradia Empire, he did not officially build an empire. And from the main quest, building an empire was not a simple matter. At least, many things needed to be done.

It was necessary to establish the name of the country, establish the ruling system, establish the flag of the country, calculate the scope of the territory, establish the imperial army, and promulgate the constitution of the empire.

The empire that Kant intended to establish, its name had already been decided. It was called the Caradia Empire. The ruling system adopted by the empire was established by Kant as a centralized feudal empire system, as for the flag of the country, he used the image of a red-bottomed golden lion printed with his family emblem as the flag of the country. The scope of the territory was generally easy to determine, but it required an accurate borderline. This was a meticulous job, Kant had already sent a team to carry out the survey and mapping.

In addition, the imperial army had already taken shape. They were the army gathered in Drondheim. Kant had clearly divided them into Knight Corps, Infantry Corps, Crossbow Corps, and Mage Corps.

Finally, it was time to promulgate the empire’s constitution. Kant had mixed in the laws of some dynasties from his previous life. He had removed the superfluous elements and incorporated some of his more unique ideas. The main body of the constitution was basically out. Afterward, Kant gathered the legal talents in the estate and carefully studied the rough constitution. He added some constitutional provisions and amended some parts that were not rigorous. All in all, in about a month, the constitution that belonged to the Caradia Empire would be officially promulgated.

At that time, Kant would be able to fulfill all the prerequisites for establishing the empire, officially announce the establishment of the country, and complete the main quest.

Time flew by, and another week passed.

During this week, Kant collected more and more information about the ancient city that the Jackalans and Lizardmen had excavated. Gradually, Kant found that the city was more and more similar to the legendary Lost City. Kant had once received information about the Lost City from Scholar Hank, so he was quite clear about the structure of the Lost City. It was said that the Lost City was buried with the wealth of everyone, as well as many items with powerful functions.

This made Kant take the initiative to attack the Jackalans and Lizardmen. However, he planned for the Lost City to be dug out before making a move. If that was the case, he would not need to send people to continue digging after the victory.

At the same time, during this week, Kant sent out a large number of scouts to investigate the military strength of the Jackalans and Lizardmen legions in detail, to accumulate conditions for taking the initiative to attack the other side. Kant found that among the Jackalans and Lizardmen legions, the number of death knights was extremely few, but they were indeed the rulers of this army.

Kant knew that those death knights were the descendants of the Sun God. Their former capital city was the Lost City, and it could be said that the Lost City was their former home.

Kant could now basically confirm that the Jackalans and Lizardmen were indeed not coming for him, but the Lost City. Under the command of the death knights, they gradually dug out the former home of the death knights from under the desert.

This was because Kant did not know that the key to the Lost City was the complete sun disc. Otherwise, he would have understood that these death knights, Jackalans, and Lizardmen who seemed to be here for the Lost City would definitely target him.
