king of the castle

Chapter 72 Marcus' Property

The others were still rejoicing that they had narrowly escaped death, and for a moment they didn't understand why Roger said that. 【】On the contrary, Anna immediately understood Roger's meaning, came to his side and comforted him in a low voice: "We have dragged the undead cavalry for so long, those refugees should have entered the Lington pass, you don't have to worry too much."

"I hope so." Roger didn't have much confidence in what Anna said, and just answered absent-mindedly.

Don't be left with 20 or so undead cavalry, but they are still very scary for those unarmed refugees.Especially in such a plain area, if the undead cavalry were allowed to charge, they would even kill hundreds of times and thousands of times their own number of refugees.Although Roger didn't know these refugees before, he didn't expect that they would all die under the hands of undead creatures, so naturally he would be a little worried.

But for Roger and others, they have done everything they can. They have tried their best to hold back the undead cavalry and buy time for the refugees to escape.As long as the army stationed at Linton Pass let the refugees in, at least most of them would survive.

In this battle with the undead cavalry, Roger lost nearly two spear militiamen and a short sword warrior.This also made him understand how much it would cost him to use simple infantry to fight against cavalry on plains without cover.

Fortunately, the soul power that Roger collected from nearly a hundred undead cavalry was not only enough to make up for his loss, but even had a lot of savings.Now Roger only needs some time to restore the number of soldiers to the level before the battle.

After not having to face the threat of the undead cavalry, Roger turned his attention to the carriages.As far as he knew, Marcus had searched for a lot of good things in Oak Town, and it was definitely not ordinary things that the fat man could take to escape with him.

Roger kept the soldiers on alert, while he took Mike and others to check what was in the carriage.Naturally, Roger didn't need to do this kind of trivial matter. Mike and the other two quickly pried open a carriage, and cursed in a low voice at the same time: "This stingy fat man!"

Roger guessed from everyone's tone that the carriage must be loaded with bad things, but he found out that it was so, the whole carriage was filled with sawn wood.The other two carriages were not loaded with good things, except for a few iron ingots that were considered valuable in this world, there were only some common stones.Speaking of which, Markas was even more stingy than he imagined, and he was even reluctant to throw away a little wood and stone.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, these things are useless in the current situation, but for Roger these materials come too timely.With the wood and stone in the three carriages, plus the extra materials from the previous construction of the watchtower, it is enough to build the last building-level warehouse of the second-level castle.

Roger quickly put the supplies in the carriage into the secondary space of the castle hub, and began to upgrade the primary warehouse to a secondary warehouse.This upgrade will take about a day and a half. By then, all the buildings of the second-level castle will be completed. As long as Roger gets enough materials, the castle can be upgraded to the third level.

Only some worthless things were found in the first three carriages, and the enthusiasm of Mike and others was greatly reduced.However, they still faithfully carried out Roger's order and searched for the last carriage earnestly.However, the carriage that was originally used by Markus brought surprises to everyone, and Mike soon discovered that there were a lot of good things in the carriage.

"My lord, this fat man really saved a lot of good things!" Mike and a few others got out of the car with a small suitcase, and said to Roger with a smile on their faces: "You come to our discovery!"

Under Roger's expectant gaze, Mike opened the box.As Roger expected, Marcus, a miser, packed all the real valuables in his carriage and carried them with him.

The boxes are basically filled with gold coins, at least six or seven hundred.In addition to the gold coins, there is also a small black velvet pocket containing several thumb-sized gems.But what interested Roger most was a single crystal in a small box.

This crystal is only half the size of those gemstones, with many dark red fine lines mixed with the light yellow color, which looks a bit cloudy.If it's a gem, it's definitely a second-rate one.However, Marcus solemnly put the crystal in the box alone, which obviously shows that its value is extraordinary.

"Aha, your luck is really good." Roger was still thinking about what the crystal was, and the cheerful voice of the castle hub had already rang in his mind: "I actually got the magic crystal of a bronze-level monster. It is an indispensable material to upgrade to the third level!"

"This is the magic crystal." Roger secretly said to the castle hub: "Marcus has suffered a big loss this time, this fat man must be very distressed."

The castle master didn't care about Markas's mood, but immediately said to Roger: "Put away the magic crystal first, now we have enough soul power to upgrade the castle, as long as we get some stones and wood, all the materials will be ready." gone."

Roger said confidently: "Hello, I will be able to upgrade the castle to level three soon."

While Roger and Castle Hub were secretly communicating, Anna, who had been paying attention to the movement of the undead cavalry, came over to him and said, "The undead creatures have already retreated, let's go to the Lington Pass as soon as possible!"

Roger, who had gained a lot, was in a good mood, and immediately agreed to Anna's proposal, and let everyone continue to the Linton pass.

Since there are undead creatures appearing so close to the Killington Pass, it means that the entire Lund Peninsula is occupied by these guys, and only by going to the other side of the Killington Pass as soon as possible can guarantee safety.

The group of people was not far from the Lington pass, and as they advanced, the towering and majestic city wall became taller and taller.

Anna followed behind Roger, looking thoughtfully at his not-so-tall back.She knew very well in her heart that she was going to break up with Roger when she arrived at Linton Pass.Although Anna's journey has been very hard, and she was a little wary of Roger and others at the beginning, but when she was about to break up, she felt a little bit reluctant.

Thinking of this, Anna took a few steps to catch up with Roger and asked, "What are your plans after arriving at the Linton Pass?"

"Plan? Of course, the best thing is to have a piece of territory of your own, and enjoy the good time every day!" Roger talked to Anna, "Yes, your father is a duke, let him help me get a piece of land. Territory! Be richer, it would be even better if you can rely on the sea, and bring a bunch of bikinis in the future..."

Anna threw cold water on Roger before he finished speaking: "You must be a noble to be eligible to own a territory! It is not so easy to get a title, you have to make great contributions to the kingdom!"

"It's so troublesome!" The disappointed Roger complained in a low voice, but his attention was quickly attracted by other things, and he lowered his voice: "It smells like blood!"
