Knight and Wand

Chapter 47 Trophies

According to Lohak, after he went to bed yesterday, Olivia walked all over the village, trying her best to find all the living people, and barely saved some dying wounded.

At present, except for the more than 60 young and strong people who were conscripted and did not return, as well as Olivia and her father, there are only 76 villagers left in Selva Village after the disaster.

Among them were more than sixty women and young girls.

The only men who survived were a few young men and a few young children.

Some of them escaped the disaster by hiding in hidden cellars and cracks in granaries in time.

The reason why some boys were able to survive is the same as that of most girls. It is unspeakable.

The bodies of the 124 villagers who died are now lying in an open space.

As for the remains of the Kantardars killed by the griffins, they were temporarily piled up outside the village by the survivors. They could only wait for someone to dig a mass grave elsewhere and bury the bodies.

All the armor and weapons had been stripped off the enemy's bodies, and most of them were now piled in Olivia's backyard and warehouse.

Lohak continued to tell Leon the number of spoils he had counted yesterday.

Altogether they found nineteen horses still alive.

Three of them were noble mounts equipped with armor.

The girl's stable could only hold the most valuable horses. The rest of the horses were temporarily placed in the yard of a nearby farm and are currently being looked after by several children.

Lohak said this with some regret.

There was originally a noble warhorse, but the horse's hind legs were chopped off by Olivia in the battle, and it had already died of its injuries. The hundreds of Serian gold coins just disappeared with the wind.

The remaining sixteen horses, covered in robes and of average quality, were mounts for Kantadar's hired cavalry and knight attendants.

At this point, Lohak's expression twitched slightly, as if his own flesh was cut, and he felt quite sad.

He also counted the bodies of the cavalry horses killed by the griffins. There were about thirteen or fourteen of them. Although they were estimated to be more than ten times cheaper than the market price of the nobles' top-grade horses, no matter how cheap they were, they were still worth a hundred or so gold coins.
As for weapons, including the knight's sword that Olivia was currently holding, a total of four noble swords were found.

There were thirty-five swords of various kinds used by the knights' squires and mercenaries, most of which were not seriously damaged.

There were twenty-three cavalry spears, four of which were destroyed.

There were two long-handled knight's halberd axes, one in Lockhak's hand and the other in the backyard. This thing was a specially made heavy weapon. Except for Lockhak, who had brute force, none of the other surviving young men in the village could use it.

Other miscellaneous equipment, not to mention the knives and daggers, included two knights' kite shields and some ordinary soldiers' round shields.

It is worth mentioning that six Uriah cavalry bows were found, and more than ninety arrows collected from various places.

Next is the armor.

The heavy knight armor that Lohak was wearing now was obtained from the knight killed by Leon yesterday. It was the only one that fit him best.

Although the helmet had been smashed to pieces by Leon's magic, the other parts were still intact.

In addition to this set of knight's plate armor, Lockhak also found all the armor parts that Baron Doson had lost in his hometown in the village.

After he had put it together, he stored it in Olivia's warehouse, preparing to leave the most luxurious armor for Leon to try to see if it fit.

There are also two sets of knight plate armor.

A complete set was taken from the knight prisoners held in the room behind Lohak.

One set was horribly damaged. It was torn off the bloody remains of the knight who was killed by the griffin. Only the leg armor and the helmet were intact, and the other parts were completely twisted and deformed.

In addition, half of the plate and chain composite armor and mercenary cavalry armor of various shapes piled up in the backyard were destroyed.

They could only piece together fifteen relatively complete sets of armor, some of which, along with weapons, were temporarily given to a few surviving young men to wear in case any of the escaped enemies came back.

After talking about these valuable spoils, Lohak couldn't hide his happiness and continued, "When I was collecting those armors and weapons, I also found a lot of gold and silver coins in the bag of the bastard Kantadar. This time we don't have to worry about spending money."

"The money they robbed was mixed with the villagers' belongings. Isn't it inappropriate to take it?" Leon asked doubtfully.

"What are you thinking? Why would I touch the villagers' things? I picked out all the local coins used in Orland and gave them to Olivia for safekeeping. The money I took was all printed with the Kantadar logo." Lohak explained.

Leon realized that he had indeed been stupid.

The villagers of Selva did not trade with the Kantardars, so the currencies with enemy emblems in their bags were of course the property of the Kantardar soldiers themselves and would not be confused.

"How many are there?" he asked quickly.

"It's worth at least three hundred gold coins. It's packed in a small box and placed under Olivia's bed." Lockhart pointed proudly with his fingers.

Well, it turns out that when he was sleeping on the floor yesterday, there was a huge sum of money hidden not far from his side.

Leon listened to each item one by one at this time, and his heart couldn't help but feel numb.

It is indeed as Lockhak said, although it is a bit unfair to the dead villagers to think so. But objectively speaking, this incident is a complete reversal of fate for the three of them.

Not to mention the value of the horses, armor, and weapons, just a box of money alone turned them from wanderers in the mountains into rich men.

Although strictly speaking, most of these spoils were taken by the griffin.

But I guess His Majesty the Noble Deathclaw doesn't care about these human's dirty money.
Then the three of them will be welcome.

After chatting for a while, Lohak also returned the Undead Noble Sword that he had been keeping to Leon.

After bidding farewell to his companions, Leon returned to Olivia's home.

He carefully walked through the crowded first-floor lobby without disturbing the women and children who were fast asleep, and came to the backyard alone.

Sure enough, there were mountains of armor and weapons. Cavalry spears were leaning against the wall, and next to them were various armor parts piled up in a messy manner. Dozens of sheathed swords were scattered on the ground.

Glancing at the stable not far away, three majestic noble war horses were resting in the fence shed, with their horse armor removed.

Leon walked forward excitedly, as if he saw a beauty in his eyes, and couldn't help but reach out to touch one of the black horses.

The horse's head swayed restlessly, and it smelled the scent of a stranger. Unable to find its owner, it snorted a few times in agitation.

However, the strict training since childhood has prevented the warhorse from resisting the humans in front of it.

The carefully trimmed horse mane felt smooth to the touch, and Leon admired the alien mount in front of him that looked exactly like the "horses" on Earth.

We can't afford the death claws, but having a good horse is a luxury.

In this world that is still in the feudal era, owning such a valuable mount is no different from owning a top luxury car on modern Earth.

This warhorse has well-developed muscles on its body and limbs, and a surprising sense of strength. Its shape and demeanor are also obviously much stronger than the horses on Earth in the previous life.

Apart from anything else, Leon didn't see any baggage wagons accompanying the Kantadars.

These war horses can wear heavy armor all the way and carry fully armed heavy cavalry on their backs. They can also charge into battle after a long journey. They are incredibly tough and durable.

But when I think about it, if I want to keep it well and prevent it from losing weight, I'm afraid the daily feed costs will also be huge.

This is exactly the same as maintaining a car in the previous life. You can afford to buy a good car, but you may not be able to afford to maintain it.

".Luckily, your previous owner gave me a lot of gold coins." Leon played with the BMW all over, and only let it go after he had satisfied his desires. He turned and walked towards the warehouse in the backyard.

The door was not locked, so he walked straight in and saw the set of Kantadar noble knight's plate armor that Lohak had mentioned.

A helmet with a double snake carving headdress, a tightly fitting neck guard, a breastplate connecting the hips and shoulder shield, overlapping shoulder and arm armor, iron gloves, greaves and boots with distinct ribs and flexible joints.

The entire body of the armor seemed to be plated with silver, shiny and glossy, with very exquisite workmanship. The shape was somewhat similar to the Gothic style of the previous life, but there were obvious differences.

Leon lifted the breastplate with both hands and admired it for a moment. He was very satisfied. Wearing this sturdy and gorgeous armor, he would look absolutely showy.

It’s a pity that he didn’t really like the entwined snake carvings on the top of the helmet and the human face reliefs on the surface of the visor. They had too much of a Kantadar feel.

Even though there was nothing wrong with the characteristic decorations of the enemy culture from an artistic point of view, it still made Leon feel uncomfortable.

If he were to use this set of armor frequently in the future, he would have to find someone to replace the headdress and visor.

Glancing sideways, he saw a complete armor-lined inner jacket and an open-chested black robe beside them, and he couldn't wait to try them on to see if they fit.

He took off the noble sword from his waist and put it aside, then picked up the lining and robe and shook them, but when he saw the Kantadar family emblem on the black robe, Leon threw it down in disgust and didn't want to touch it again.

I'll have to make a new robe later.

After putting on the lining, Leon tried on the armor.

After taking a closer look at the structure of this set of armor, although it is very delicately designed, it does not seem to be the type that one person cannot wear. It should just take a little more time.

Soon, the warehouse was filled with the sound of busy work, clanging and banging.

Halfway through the struggle, just as Leon was sitting on the box, twisting his body with some difficulty, trying to reach the buckle that connected the back of his shoulder to the shoulder armor, a familiar voice came from the door.

"Let me help you."

Hearing the sound of quick footsteps, he turned his head and saw Olivia wearing a new corset dress.

"Thank you." Leon nodded. Although he could put it on by himself, it would be great to have someone to help.

The knight always had the help of his servants when putting on his armor, but it was not as difficult as it was for him to do it himself.

".There are a few leather buckles on the back."

Leon stood up and obediently showed the girl the connecting parts of the shoulder, back and armpit armor structure.

Olivia came closer and raised her hand to carefully help the other person fasten the leather buttons and knobs one by one.

With the help of the thoughtful girl, Leon quickly put on his armor.

He took the gorgeous sword beside him and fastened it with its scabbard to the belt around his waist. Then he tried to walk a few steps and jumped a few times with clanging sounds.

Hmm. It feels a little loose inside.

After all, this body is still a sixteen-year-old boy, and his height is currently estimated to be around 1.75 meters.

Compared to the tall middle-aged noble who was estimated to be over 1.80 meters tall and had muscular body, there was a big difference in physique.

But it’s not a big problem. After all, armor is not close-fitting clothing, and it’s not to the point where you can’t use it if you have a bad figure.

Glancing down at the exquisite and sturdy silver armor on his body, as well as the noble sword at his waist that finally matched his outfit, Leon felt a little regretful that he had no mirror and could not see how showy he looked at the moment. He wondered if he looked like a proper knight.

"How is it? Is it cool?" After getting a set of luxurious armor, Leon, who was in high spirits, couldn't help but ask the girl casually.

"Cool?" Olivia didn't quite understand the pronunciation.

"Uh, I mean, I look...oh, fine." Leon calmed down and gave up the idea of ​​explaining.

The girl had just lost so many familiar friends and fellow villagers, and it was really inappropriate for her to share her personal joy abruptly at this moment.

"Are you here to see me?" he asked.

The girl nodded calmly: "My father has woken up, he wants to see you and thank you."

I came back late today, and I have work tomorrow morning, so I have to go to bed early. This is just a 3,400-word update, but I'll get off work early tomorrow, so I'll make up for it with another 5,000 words tomorrow.
