Chapter 39: Anna
“After exploring all the forests in the surrounding 50 kilometers, we have been building our territory. It was not until two months ago that we started to expand the exploration area.”
“In the areas about 60 kilometers away from the kingdom, we have taken down several dwarven cottages and elven wooden houses. In the past two months, we captured more than 300 dwarves and elves.”
“Unfortunately, they are too stubborn. Until now, that group of ignorant dwarves and elves are still locked in prison cells…”
When it came to captives, Nia was very helpless.
If it weren’t for the fact that those stubborn fellows were useful to her master, she wanted to burn them to death with her dragon breath.
This way, the food consumption rate within the divine kingdom would be greatly reduced.
“Mm, well done.”
Lorne needed believers who could help his divine kingdom develop. When there were too many people in the kingdom, these believers with high command could help the kingdom develop to a higher level.
And Nia was obviously a soldier who was good at fighting.
Although she hasn’t been around long, in her hands, the population of his divine kingdom increased by dozens of times. This was definitely an achievement worthy of praise.
“What are your plans now?”
“So, Anna and I have locked down a few Centaur lairs, but we’ve been worried that we won’t be able to enlighten them, so our crusade plan had been postponed…”
“Go, take down the Centaur lairs and return to the divine kingdom as soon as possible.”
“Yes, Master!”
…
“Anna, let’s go!”
With Lorne’s approval, Nia began to attack the Centaurs lairs that she already investigated.
Roar Roar Roar!!!!
To reduce losses, Nia often acted as the main force in the battle and attacked the strongest creature in the enemy’s army.
The wild Centaurs immediately discovered the black-scaled dragon. They did not know about such a creature, but this did not diminish the fear that the giant dragon brought upon them.
Even under extreme fear, the Centaurs still formed a battle team and launched a counterattack against the incoming enemy.
Unfortunately, the opponent this time was in the sky.
In this world, it was difficult for creatures on land to attack flying creatures.
Unless you had a large machine.
For example, a huge dragon-hunting crossbow or a dragon-catching net.
Otherwise, the probability of victory was extremely low.
Nia flew across the sky and spat out dragon breath at the same time. The pitch-black flames instantly tore the earth apart, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of Centaurs fell.
After a year of growth, Nia’s attributes increased by a large margin.
Under her huge size, her attack range was also incomparably huge.
If it wasn’t for Nia intentionally controlling the energy she spat out, just that one dragon breath was enough to destroy this well-trained Centaur army.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The remaining Centaurs threw their spears one after another. Most of them missed and only a few landed on Nia’s body. Unfortunately, their strength was too low so they were unable to pierce through her dragon scales.
On the other hand, Nia had to control her attacks to avoid killing all the enemies.
Moreover, spears were the Centaurs’ weapons.
The moment they threw their spears, it also meant that they had lost their weapons.
Thus, at this moment, the Centaur captain Anna waved the spear in her hand and gave the order to attack.
Suddenly facing the charge of an elite Centaur team, these wild Centaurs had no chance of resistance at all.
After only three waves of charges, they had disintegrated all their combat strength.
“Not bad.”
Lorne was watching their battle.
Even though it was because of Nia’s help that everything ended so quickly, he could not deny Anna’s contribution.
This Centaur beauty that Lorne had taken special care of a long time ago had completed her transformation after a year of hard work and became a very outstanding leader.
“It just so happens that there are so many new believers. I can start several sacrificial ceremonies at the same time.”
The sacrificial ceremonies could be carried out separately, as long as the believers who initiated the sacrifice were different.
Are there benefits of having more people to carry out the sacrificial activities?
Of course, there were.
During the sacrificial ceremonies, the more believers present, the greater the increase in the quality of the sacrificial items.
In fact, when the number of believers was large enough, the quality of the sacrificial items could even evolve.
Usually, a divine kingdom with a large enough population would carry out such an operation every few decades.
After all, it was difficult to obtain high-level sacrifices. If one could obtain them this way, it would naturally be the best.
But Lorne did not need to do that.
Because he had a “100 times amplification” booster, any sacrifice would have a 100-fold increase.
Therefore, what he needed the most was the number of sacrifices.
…
Next.
Anna quickly conquered three Centaurs lairs and captured a total of 110 Centaur captives.
By the time their team returned to their territory, there were already thousands of people gathered in the square.
The captives were kneeling in the middle. The total number exceeded 3,000.
The believers were surrounding them. The total number exceeded 1,000.
In total, there were close to 5,000 of them.
This beautiful scene surprised Lorne.
He thought there were only about 500 people.
But who knew that there were 10 times more than he expected!
This was indeed a surprise.
Lorne was not stingy.
He started to give out rewards to everyone from a year ago.
Powers of Faith were injected into their bodies, causing their physique and spirit to improve greatly.
There were even dozens of Centaurs who evolved at this time.
Especially Anna.
This most talented Centaur was wrapped in a ball of light. Under the gentle holy light, everyone saw a pair of huge wings growing out of her body!
Pegasus!
Pegasus!
Oh My, she evolved into a Pegasus Knight!
All the wild Centaurs widened their eyes, not daring to believe their own eyes.
In the world of the Centaurs, only 1% of Centaurs could evolve into Pegasus Knights. Therefore, in their eyes, Pegasus Knights had an extremely high status, even if they did not know each other.
As for those Centaurs who had long become believers, they all had endless respect for their god.
This was because they knew very well that Anna was able to evolve into a Pegasus Knight at such a young age was because of the blessings of their god.
If not for the Silver Pegasus Knight blood essence bestowed by their god, Anna would never have been able to accomplish such a historical achievement.
At this thought, the Centaurs prayed fervently to their god, hoping that he would notice his humble followers.
