The days passed like this.
And Narant's men's power gradually grew over time.
For example, the number of Knights of the Storm surged again, reaching two hundred and fifty.
Because during this period, the cultivator of Lucky Daughter Bessie once again matured the two bloodline fruit trees.
After the two fruit trees matured, a total of twenty-three blood and energy fruits were born.
Configured into potions, that is, one hundred and seventy-one bottles of blood potion.
Nalant took out 150 bottles of these medicines and gave them to his subordinates, so the number of knights in the Knights of the Storm reached 250.
As for the other twenty-one bottles, Nalant temporarily allocated them to Thomas, Mario and the maids in the castle.
Thomas Mario is considered loyal to him, so such a reward is still necessary.
After becoming a titled knight, they will be more energetic and able to serve him better in the future.
As for the maids, the same is true, even Lilia, the personal maid, also has a role.
After she becomes a title knight, if Narante goes out in the future, he will no longer be a petty jerk.
As for whether spending these twenty-one bottles of Bloodline Qi Fruit Potion on them is considered a waste.
In fact, Nalant already has a plan, which is to purchase bloodline fruit trees from various principalities.
Of course, if it is a intact bloodline fruit tree, these principalities and empires will definitely not sell it. After all, it is considered a strategic material.
But it's different if it's a bloodline fruit tree that's sick, bitten by soul-eating insects, and can only survive for a year or two.
Narant believed that the nobles would settle accounts. The trees would die in two years after being placed in their hands, and there was a possibility of infecting other magic plants. It would be more cost-effective to exchange money directly.
In this way, Narant, who has money, is not afraid of the high price of these fruit trees, but is afraid that no one will sell them.
Once enough bloodline fruit trees are obtained and Bessie works hard to ripen them, he will have more and more title knights under his command.
And the two hundred and fifty storm knights are actually no different from the two hundred and seventy-one storm knights.
Because there is still a huge gap with the Holy Alliance Empire.
This is entirely due to the difference in background between the two parties.
Even if Nalant turned on the plug-in, it would still take a lot of time to catch up.
For example, Quick and the first batch of knights who joined the Knights of the Storm have now broken through and become Silver Knights.
But there is still a big gap in strength with the elite knights of major empires and even principalities.
Even if he equipped everyone with sophisticated dwarven inscribed armor, the gap could not be made up.
Unfortunately, Nalant didn't have enough energy points to spend.
If it is enough, this gap will definitely be shortened as quickly as possible.
In addition to the Knights of the Storm, Nalant's Knights of the Wild Wolf have also grown in strength during this period.
Because of the powerful fruit, Lei Meng Dashi and others already have combat prowess comparable to that of Peak Silver.
Even ordinary members of the Wild Wolf Knights, with their lowest strength, have combat effectiveness comparable to that of Silver Intermediate and above.
In this way, this hundred-member Wild Wolf Knights can be said to be the most combat-effective existence under Nalant's current command.
Nalant has ordered his subordinates to start trapping ordinary wild wolves. When the Warcraft Fruit matures and is made into Warcraft Potion, Nalant's number of wild wolf knights will increase rapidly.
In addition to these two main units, the construction of Nalant's magician army has also taken the first step.
Many team members have become apprentice magicians, able to cast apprentice magic such as light and fire.
And it has only been a month or two, but the army of one hundred magicians has made such rapid progress.
If word spreads, it will definitely frighten a group of people. It is estimated that people from the Holy Magic Academy will go crazy after seeing it and come to find out.
When Nalant learned about the progress of the boys and girls in the Magician Legion, he was very generous and once again rewarded them with a spiritual power fruit and an affinity fruit.
His idea is to turn these boys and girls into junior magicians as quickly as possible.
At that time, they will not be required to learn any difficult magic, as long as they can make fireballs.
Think about it, a hundred fireballs that even the Golden Knights are afraid of appear on the battlefield, what a terrifying scene it would be.
And this is the most advantageous means for Nalant to reduce the gap in strength between himself and empires such as the Holy Alliance.
"Sir, a small group of cavalry has come outside the castle. They claim to be the messengers of the Holy Alliance Council!"
"A messenger from the Holy Alliance Council?"
Nalant, the Holy Alliance Council, does know that it is the same existence as the 'Union Cauldron' council in the previous life.
It is the institution through which the empire and principalities handle alliance matters.
"Bring them in, I'll wait in the lobby!"
Zhuang Kang didn't know what the Holy Alliance Council was looking for, but he definitely wanted to meet the messenger.
Soon, Thomas arrived at the castle hall with several messengers.
"Meet Baron Narante!"
"Well, please sit down, everyone. I wonder why the Alliance Council asked you to come to the Storm Territory?"
"Baron Nalant, it's like this. Next month is the date of our Holy Alliance's annual journey to clean up dark creatures, so the parliament specially sent me to inform Baron Nalant!"
"In addition, this is an expedition order issued by the parliament. It has detailed contents. Please have Baron Nalant take a look!"
As he spoke, the messenger handed over a roll of parchment sealed with fire paint.
"The journey to cleanse the dark creatures?" This was the first time Nalant heard it, and he immediately took the parchment and looked at it.
It turns out that although the situation in the Holy Continent has stabilized now.
Thanks to the sacred thorns, dark creatures can no longer continue to invade the land of the sacred continent.
But after all, most of the land is occupied by dark creatures, so the Holy Alliance holds an expedition every year.
The purpose is to destroy the dark creatures and regain the occupied land.
Although the amount of land that can be recaptured through the annual expedition is not much, over time, one day the lost homeland will surely be regained.
In this way, this expedition has become a routine
And since Nalant has become a member of the Holy Alliance, he also has the obligation to go on an expedition.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, this expedition is not only for the human race, but other races will also be dispatched at this time, also to regain their homeland.
"Okay, Your Excellency, I have received the council's expedition order. I will definitely rush to gather as scheduled when the time comes. I wonder if you have anything else to do?"
"Your Excellency Nalant, we are here only for the summons, and we have nothing else to do!"
"Well, Thomas, take a few messengers to the town to rest for a few days!"
Immediately, Nalant sent several messengers directly.
"Clean up the dark creatures. You can earn a wave of energy points this time. You have to prepare well!"
Nalant murmured, and then conveyed the news to Queclemon and others.
The dark creatures in this Holy Continent are different from those in the Glory Continent.
There are no high-level dark creatures in the Glory Continent.
But in this holy continent, there are simply too many middle- and high-level dark creatures.
"Sir, there is news about the caravan you ordered last time to purchase magic stones!"
Just when Nalant finished informing all his subordinates about the expedition next month, Mario rushed to the castle on the back foot.
"Yeah, how's it going? Did you buy the magic stone?"
"Sir, the royal family of Parkin Principality has a magic energy mine, but the output is not high!"
"They currently have about thirty coins in stock. I heard from the caravan that you want to buy it, sir, and they are willing to sell it to you!"
"However, the price is a little expensive!" Mario immediately replied.
"How many gold coins are there?"
"Sir, we need three thousand gold coins and one magic stone!"
