nChapter 85: Spoils of War

nTranslator: Lonelytree

nEveryone looked at each other.

nRheagar was about to draw his sword, but he put it back halfway.

nHe looked at Matthew. “It’s up to you to decide how to deal with it. Everything on this battlefield is your spoils of war, including the captives. You should have the right to deal with them.” This sentence was equivalent to the official deciding the distribution of tonight’s results.

nMatthew was not surprised.

nPutting aside the fact that he hated necromancers and female slaves, Rheagar was indeed an upright and fair lord.

nHowever, Matthew had not thought of how to deal with this big-hearted Troll.

nHe circled Sinwak three times.

nThe latter snored like thunder and had no sense of crisis.

n“I can kill him for you.”

nRheagar suggested.

nMatthew shook his head. “I think a living Troll might be more valuable. I want to train him.”

nRheagar shrugged.

n“Then you’d better watch him until he dies. He might be sleeping soundly now, but when he wakes up, especially when he’s hungry, he’ll be a very troublesome threat.”

nMatthew agreed with Rheagar.

nTrolls were indeed dangerous and evil creatures. Perhaps it was easier to control them as undead creatures, but he felt that the Troll in front of him was not that bad.

nHe was just a little too fat.

n“Can you do me a favour?”

nMatthew looked at Zeller with a questioning gaze. “I plan to build a prison for the Troll, but before that, I can’t control him.”

nZeller nodded and replied, “This is not difficult.”

nAs he spoke.

nHe took out his wand from his waist and aimed it at the sleeping Troll.

n“Crackle! Crackle! ”

nAfter a short incantation.

nA bolt of lightning shot out from the tip of the wand and struck the Troll’s head.

nHowever, the latter had no reaction.

nZeller wasn’t discouraged.

nHe repeated the incantation three times.

nWhen the fourth bolt of lightning struck Sinwak…

nThe Troll suddenly woke up and shouted, “Who’s touching Sinwak’s butt?”

nAs soon as he finished speaking.

nHis huge body shrank rapidly. Soon, it turned into a lively frog!

n“Here.”

nZeller skillfully grabbed the frog, stuffed it into a glass bottle, and gave it to Matthew.

n“My Malicious Transfiguration can last for 24 days, but during this period, this glass bottle cannot be broken, and he cannot come into contact with any living thing.”

nMatthew nodded as he carefully took the bottle.

n“What do you plan to do with him?”

nZeller asked curiously.

nMatthew thought for a moment. “I haven’t thought about it yet. Perhaps..

n“We can use him to build the cemetery?”

nAfter dealing with the threat of the Troll.

nThe only thing left in the north of the oak forest was to clean up the battlefield.

nRheagar ordered his men to set up a monitoring station near the mine entrance. He planned to explore the underground space of the Gold Digger Basin in the next few days to prevent underground creatures from infiltrating Rolling Stone Town from other exits.

nThese jobs had nothing to do with Matthew.

nAt this moment.

nHe was commanding the skeletons, zombies, and living people to move the corpses and count the spoils of war.

nRheagar had already given the order.

nMatthew planned to leave a portion of the spoils of war for the people who participated in the battle, including Zeller, Blake, and Eli. The rest would be his.

nHe did a rough count.

nFirst of all, the income in cash exceeded 1500 gold coins!

nThis was based on the fact that most of the kobolds and gnolls were poor.

nThe Order of Calamity wasn’t rich, either.

nThe main reason was that Matthew had killed too many people this time. Next was equipment and weapons.

nMatthew had gotten a lot of good stuff from the three Tier 4 threats.

nRooster War Flag: This item can increase the morale of the group and the vision and strength of the flag bearer. At the same time, it can activate a small area healing halo.

nGrowler: It’s that two-handed axe. It has the effects of ” unstoppable force,” Wound Tear,” and ” Spirit-slaying Weapon.” It’S a melee weapon and can be sold for a good price in Jade Court or Baiyan City.

nThere was also a small piece of Adamantine on the axe. It was not impossible to remove it if it was melted. After all, Adamantine and Mithril were rare metals that Spell Casters were very eager for.

nRhinoceros Leather Shorts: It was also taken from the body of the boarman. This pair of pants is light and tough and can provide far more armour value than ordinary leather armour. The only flaw is that the size is a little big. One side of the shorts can fit two Mathews.

nDemon Sword Skalona and Cursed Warrior’s Teachings: A good magic sword and a small booklet found on the body of the Dracon. The latter also recorded the inheritance method of the Cursed Warrior. However, one needed to go to the Underground to complete the inheritance quest.

nAside from the Cursed Warrior class, it seemed that only people with psychic abilities could use the demon sword.

n” Ring of Desire “: It was taken from the body of the dracon. Its name is Desire, but its actual effect is abstinence. The wearer will gradually lose the urge to reproduce. In addition, it provides 10 Dark Vision. Matthew tried it, and the effect was not bad. It meant that there was no need for lighting in a completely dark environment.

nCursed Hammer: The main weapon of the Gnoll Anderson. It is of excellent quality, but the negative effect is that the wielder loses 2 points of Agility and gains points of Strength. It is also a rare item for some melee classes.

nScroll of the Void was a sealed magic book that could only be opened by the members of the Order of Calamity with a unique spell.

nAnti-Magic Stone (Magic Contract): This stone can be used to cast the instant magic counter once a day. This seemingly ordinary stone is actually a magic contract between the warlock and the master, symbolizing the cooperation between the two.

nMatthew had to muster up a lot of courage to take this stone.

nRegardless of whether it was the Great Evil Demon Trier or the Midnight God, he had already offended them, so he didn’t care if he offended them to the end.

nThe only concern was whether the other party would be able to locate him through this stone.

nHowever, on second thought, the location of the oak forest had long been exposed. He would be guarding this place for the time being, so the location was not important.

nIf the Order of Calamity still refused to give up.

nThen let them come!

nFinally, the most valuable spoils of war for Matthew were the corpses of more than 300 gnolls and kobolds, as well as the corpses of three Tier 4 adventurers.

nEven 300 cannon fodder corpses were enough to create a negative energy ” Pool of Rebirth ” in the cemetery.

nThis directly changed the ecology of the cemetery.

nMatthew decided that after the number of skeletons reached the limit, the remaining corpses would be used as materials to fill the Pool of Rebirth.

nHigh-level corpses were even more useful.

nIt could be buried in exchange for a ” Gift of Nature “, or it could be used to create Dark Warriors or Death Knights.

n“It’s a pity that the dark warrior can only be made at the fourth tier. I’ve mastered the undying domain in advance, so I should be able to try it at the third tier.” Matthew knew that his advancement was imminent.

nFortunately, the ” Double Harvest ” effect was about to end.

nNow, he finally had time to arrange matters related to the advancement.

nAs for which of the three corpses would be used as a gift and which would be used to make dark warriors, Matthew was still unsure.

nHe planned to properly store them.

nHe would make a choice when the time was right.

nHowever, just as Matthew was dealing with the body, he was surprised to find that Evil Art Master Anderson’s head had disappeared!

nHe squatted down and carefully examined the wound on the corpse. He found that the wound on the head was smooth and smooth. The technique of the head cutter was definitely perfect.

nThe first thing that popped up in Matthew’s mind was the appearance of the Drow Warrior, who had disappeared!

n“Did she steal Anderson’s head? It can’t be that this fellow can be resurrected, right?”

nMatthew frowned.

nHe was not afraid of Anderson’s comeback, but he was afraid of the Drow Warrior’s ability to appear and disappear.

nAnderson’s corpse was surrounded by the garrison and a few circles of zombies.

nSince the other party could steal Anderson’s head without him knowing, it meant that she could launch a similar sneak attack.

nMatthew immediately ordered the bone dragon to activate blind detection.

nUnfortunately, Phily had walked around the entire place but found nothing.

n“It seems that while I was cleaning up the mess, she stole Anderson’s head and immediately ran away.”

nMatthew felt a little regretful.

nAnderson’s corpse was originally the best material to make a Dark Knight. If it become a Headless Horseman, he would have to find him a mount. “Forget it. It’s too troublesome. Let’s just bury it!” Matthew picked up the shovel skillfully.

nHe buried the gnoll’s body under an oak tree.

nA gnoll was buried in spring.

nWhat would nature give him?

nMatthew was looking forward to it.

nAfter dealing with all kinds of spoils of war.

nMatthew finally had the time to cast his gaze into the data panel.

nHint: You have successfully completed a small-scale battle and returned with a great victory. You have obtained the elements of the ” Battle Domain ‘i : Strategy, hand-to-hand combat, probing, and counterattacking.
