CHAPTER 439: CHAPTER 409: OWN CAMP AND SOLDIERS_2

Inside, many tents were still mere illusions, with a craftsman beside each tent banging away with their tools.

Seeing Kane and the others approach, a young, robust man came over, the same person they had seen earlier at the craftsmen’s camp.

He came up to Kane and said, "Officers, the camp is more than halfway built, please wait a bit longer."

"No hurry."

After saying this, he let him go back to his work.

As for Kane and the others, they each began to observe the camp; it was all quite novel to them.

Not long after, the entire camp was completed, with a central area designated for assembling soldiers, and a much larger tent compared to the soldiers’ tents, which was specially built as a command post for Kane and the others.

After they left for a while.

A group of cavalry came out of the barracks in an orderly manner, heading towards Kane and the others.

At this time, Kane and the others did not notice what was happening outside the camp, as they were resting inside the central tent.

When the cavalry entered the camp’s boundary.

Kane, who was half lying down, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Someone’s coming."

Hearing Kane’s words, Kreya and the others got up one after another and followed Kane out of the tent.

They just happened to see a group of heavy cavalry, dressed in fine heavy armor, holding lances and with longswords hanging at their waists, approaching. The warhorses beneath them were also clad in half-armor.

The armor on these knights was red and white, very conspicuous.

No need to say, it was clear that these were the first 100 heavy cavalry recruited by Kreya that had arrived.

These cavalrymen formed a square matrix of 10 rows and 10 columns and halted in front of Kane and the others.

Finally, they dismounted simultaneously, the sound of their armor clashing was orderly, like robots.

From these cavalry ranks, 10 knights stepped forward and half-knelt in front of Kreya. With their movement, the knights behind them also half-knelt.

"Centurion Kreya, we follow the recruitment to fight for you."

Each knight had 9 comrades, with 10 people forming a squad.

In this situation, Kreya, without any panic, nodded and said, "I will lead you to victory and honor. Rise, my knights."

"Boom boom!"

All the knights pounded their chest armor in unison, creating a uniform sound, exuding a majestic momentum.

Only then did they stand up.

Kreya then led these cavalry to the edge of the camp, preparing to find 10 connected tents there to serve as these soldiers’ quarters.

Kane and the others curiously followed behind.

"These tents are assigned to you."

"Yes!"

Subsequently, the knights entered their respective tents according to each squad’s size. Once inside, these originally red and white tents underwent a change.

First, a red pattern resembling a heavy cavalry emblem was added.

Then, beside each tent appeared stables sufficient for 10 warhorses, and the surrounding area had long been prepped for these stables.

So intelligent.

After settling these soldiers, Kreya returned with Kane and the others to the central tent exterior.

Kane could still see the excited flush on Kreya’s face.

"How about it? Isn’t it exciting to have your own soldiers and subordinates?" Kane said with a teasing smile.

"Yes!" Kreya nodded, then said, "Ever since I was young, I dreamed of leading soldiers into battle. However, as you know, the current world lacks war, only minor skirmishes occur."

"But back then, my father told me if I became an Explorer, there might be opportunities to lead soldiers into battle. With so many Dungeons around, anything could happen."

Wanting to be a general, Kreya? At least she’s taking the first step now, being able to lead soldiers into battle.

Not just Kreya, Longbei and the others were also very envious, having their soldiers and subordinates. Moreover, the actions of those heavy cavalry just now particularly excited Longbei and the others.

Not to mention Longbei and the others, even Kane couldn’t contain his excitement.

After all, it’s about leading troops to battle, establishing fame and achievements.

Of course, establishing fame and achievements can also be seen as leveling up and gaining loot, there’s no conflict with that.

How wonderful, a man’s dream, a childhood fantasy.

Therefore, they were all very excited, not even bothering to rest in the tents, opting instead to wait in the central area, waiting for the arrival of their respective soldiers.

The next to follow was not Kane’s bow riders, but Meizike’s crossbowmen.

These soldiers wore iron helmets, light chain armor, and wrist guards, and their armor seemed to belong to the light armor category.

In their hands, they held a crossbow, a shortsword hung at their waist, and a large quiver of crossbow arrows was slung on their backs.

These soldiers formed a square formation in front of Meizike, with their leader standing at the forefront.

Like the heavy cavalry, they knelt down to declare their allegiance to Meizike.

Their enthusiasm, however, was met with just a single "Hm" from Meizike.

This left the soldiers somewhat bewildered, but Meizike still gestured them toward their designated tents.

These tents also underwent changes but not as markedly, merely the patterns on the tents changed, with no additional features added.

At this time, a group of soldiers holding long spears and carrying large shields walked in.

Seeing these soldiers, Longbei, who was with Meizike, immediately returned to them.

The armor on these soldiers was of the heavy armor category, with a solid helmet and comprehensive armor making them appear very robust.

They put down their spears and removed their helmets, tucking them under their arms.

They declared their allegiance to Longbei.

"Hahaha, rise! From now on, we’re all comrades in arms. Follow me and protect your fellow soldiers, fight bravely against the enemy."

Longbei even affectionately patted the shoulder of the soldier nearest him, thanks to their half-kneeling position, the gesture was easily accomplished.

After a long while, the soldiers of Kane and Lilulu finally arrived together.

These two different types of soldiers, without considering their weapons, looked quite similar in terms of armor.

Their armor was also light armor, and the horse gear was mostly leather.

On their left arm, they had a small crossbow, with a small quiver of crossbow arrows on the left side of their waist, a short dagger on the right side, and a longsword attached to the horse’s body.

The only difference was the light cavalry held long spears and had three short spears on their back, likely for throwing.

While the bow riders held short bows with quivers carried on their backs as well.

There were 200 bow riders, enough to form two square formations, and they knelt before Kane to declare their allegiance.

Kane directly borrowed Kreya’s words to reply to them.

"Don’t call Captain Lilulu, that title doesn’t sound good at all; you should call her the Fairy Tale Queen."

Kane had just let the soldiers rise when Lilulu’s exaggerated expression could be heard beside him.

"Okay, Your Majesty!"

These soldiers quickly and excitedly changed their address.

Kane thought it over and agreed that the title seemed fitting.
