"His Majesty Kalim will remain in that position for a few more years and will only step down when the time is right …"
Sitting there and looking at Guromary, Chen Heng's expression was calm as he spoke.
"After that, the Karo royal family will become an ordinary Duke family.
It will no longer be the Karo royal family … "
Chen Heng said as he looked at Guromary.
"An ordinary Duke family …"
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Guromary nodded and inwardly let out a sigh of relief.
To her, the outcome before her could be considered very good.
Now that things had developed to this point, if she wanted the Karo family to maintain their glory and continue to be the royal family of the Karo Kingdom, it would be incredibly dangerous.
They were not very powerful to begin with, and after what had happened to Kalim, what little power the family had left had been buried.
The little bit of power they had left was not much at all.
In this sort of situation, if nothing unexpected happened, they would not be able to gain anything.
If the person sitting in front of her was not Chen Heng but someone else, the entire Karo royal family would have been massacred.
After all, no matter what, they had once been a royal family and had great prestige in the Karo Kingdom.
And this prestige was a hidden threat.
It was only because Chen Heng was powerful enough that he did not care about these threats. Otherwise, if it was someone else, they would have gotten rid of the entire Karo royal family sooner or later.
This was nothing out of the ordinary.
Back then, the Karo family had done something similar, so it was not strange at all.
Therefore, at this moment, Guromary was very satisfied with the final outcome of the Carlo Family.
At the very least, the Karo family still existed and could keep their Duke title, and there was a chance that they could rise again in the future.
For the current Karo family, this was enough.
"What about you? What are your plans?"
Chen Heng raised his head and looked at Guromary, "In my plans, you will be the future Duke of Karo."
"I …"
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Guromary felt quite startled.
Regarding this matter, she really didn't think of it before.
According to the rules of this world, females were generally allowed to inherit the title of nobility. However, this would only happen when there were no other direct descendants in the family.
In the Carlo Family, many of Gurosemary's brothers were still alive at this moment.
From Guromary's point of view, the title of nobility that belonged to the Carlo family would never fall to her.
However, sensing Chen Heng's gaze, Guromary quickly reacted.
He had fallen into a habitual way of thinking.
Under normal circumstances, she certainly did not have the right to inherit the Carlo family.
However, the current situation was clearly not normal.
Right now, it could be said that the survival of the Carlo family depended on a single thought from Chen Heng.
Therefore, whoever he wanted to inherit the Carlo Family would naturally be the one to inherit it.
As for Guromary's brothers, were they still important at this time?
It was no longer important.
It would be fine if they knew what was good for them, but if they didn't, they would die one by one before they could do anything.
Thinking of this, Guromary reacted, a bitter smile appearing on her face.
"Alright."
Looking at Guromary's expression, Chen Heng smiled and said, "No matter what, you've helped me a lot.
If it wasn't for you, things would not have gone so smoothly.
The title of nobility in the Carlo family is the reward for your efforts.
As for the future, if you have the opportunity, you will obtain even more …
"In fact, it's not impossible to build a new Karo Kingdom …"
He looked at Guromary in front of him and said with a meaningful tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, Guromary's eyes lit up.
The matter this time had come to an end.
In the following period of time, the situation in the Carlo Kingdom gradually calmed down.
After doing many things, the Dusk Church quickly left the kingdom, as if they were afraid that Chen Heng would come looking for them.
Their actions had dealt a heavy blow to the kingdom's power.
However, to Chen Heng, this was not necessarily a bad thing.
Because of the Dusk Church's actions, a large number of nobles had died, and many powerful families had been uprooted and sacrificed to the Dusk Church to recover their strength.
These people were the enemies that Chen Heng had planned for the next phase of his plan.
Before he had even acted, the Dusk Church had already acted, helping him sort out the entire Carlo Kingdom.
This saved him a lot of effort.
This was a good thing.
Following this, Chen Heng's faction gradually became stronger.
However, overall, the situation in the Carlo Kingdom was still quite peaceful, and under Chen Heng's efforts, it had gradually stabilized.
At this moment, on the other side.
On a barren desert, a battle was about to begin.
In front of them was a plain.
The plains had already been dyed red by blood.
Two different lifeforms were fighting on it, their eyes bloodshot.
If one looked closely, they would find that the two sides were not ordinary humans but Outlanders.
The side with more people was a group of Kobolds wearing simple leather armor.
Different from ordinary Kobolds in the wilderness, these Kobolds seemed to have gone through some sort of training. Not only were their bodies larger, but they also had weapons and wore simple leather armor.
In terms of weapons, although they could not compare to the elites among the humans, they were much stronger than the ordinary soldiers under the human overlord.
After all, in this world, excluding those professions, the guards of ordinary lords weren't all that powerful.
Even in the human world, these Kobolds weren't weak.
Their opponents were even larger and faster Centaurs.
Just like their name suggested, Centaurs were like a combination of humans and horses. They had the strength and speed of horses, as well as the intelligence of humans.
In the desert, they could be considered an extremely powerful race. They could roam the desert unhindered and rarely met a worthy opponent.
However, at that very moment, they were being suppressed by this group of Kobolds. They were unable to gain the upper hand at all.
Of course, strictly speaking, the number of Kobolds that died on the battlefield was actually more than the Centaurs.
However, this was not an issue.
Compared to the Centaurs, there were simply too many Kobolds.
Every time a Kobold died, another 10 would immediately take its place, as if there was no end to them.
On the other hand, the number of Centaurs was limited, and they could not withstand this kind of consumption.
Moreover, there was no lack of powerful individuals among the Kobolds.
"Roar!"
A low roar sounded out from a certain corner.
On the battlefield, a huge Kobold that was more than two meters tall and wore special armor roared, its scarlet eyes looking ahead with dense killing intent.
Compared to ordinary Kobolds, this Kobold was much taller, and its body was covered in layers of scales, forming a natural defense. It also gave off an indescribable might, and people who came into contact with it could not help but feel fearful.
It roared as it charged up with a massive sword in its hand, and it heavily slashed down, cutting off half of an adult Centaur's body. The entire scene looked incredibly bloody and terrifying.
"He Chi! He Chi! "
Roars continuously sounded out from the surroundings.
Looking at the figure charging ahead, the surrounding Kobolds all roared, calling out that Kobold's name.
They kept charging forward, completely drowning the group of centaurs in front of them.
Soon, the battle ended.
The people in the surroundings started to clean up the battlefield.
Some of the Centaur captives that were still alive were locked up and placed to the side, preparing to be brought back.
As for the Kobolds, they were all taken care of.
In the back, some specially trained Kobold Doctors went up and used medicinal herbs and alcohol to disinfect the Kobolds' wounds before bringing them back.
Compared to humans, Kobolds had much more powerful lifeforce. Even if they were heavily injured, as long as they were disinfected, they would be able to quickly recover.
This was one of the Kobolds' innate talents.
Of course, this was the same for the Centaurs.
Some of their injuries were so severe that they could not be healed with simple methods, but there were other methods to help.
"Endure it."
Some Kobolds walked around and looked at a Kobold in front of them as they spoke.
In front of them, this Kobold's body was a bloody mess, and there were wounds all over its body.
There were many holes on its simple leather armor, and it had been pierced by some arrows.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Kobold's lifeforce was incredibly strong, just these injuries would have been enough to kill it.
But even so, at this moment, he only had one last breath left, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would soon die.
Simple treatment was not very effective in this situation.
However, the Kobolds did not despair.
They carried the heavily injured Kobolds onto the stone slabs.
The stone slabs looked very ordinary, and there was nothing special about them. However, there were many unique runes carved on them, which looked like divine runes.
After this series of actions, the stone slabs started to shine brightly.
A shocking scene began to unfold.
Before them, the heavily injured Kobolds' wounds started to heal, as if they were affected by some power, and their strength was recovering.
If there was a priest present, he would quickly understand what was happening.
Healing.
The changes that were happening to the Kobolds were caused by none other than divine runes.
However, there was no priest in front of him. There was only a stone slab.
These stone slabs were one of the results of Karunu's research over a long period of time.
Through his research on the divine runes, he had successfully developed a method to fix the divine runes on a special material so that they could follow a predetermined circuit to cast a specific divine spell.
The advantage was that there was no need for a priest to cast divine runes.
The disadvantage was that it needed to be made frequently.
Ordinary materials could not sustain divine runes for a long period of time, and they would often be damaged after a while.
Moreover, the source of divine runes was also a problem, and Karunu needed to supply it with his own divine power.
These were all troublesome.
However, from the looks of it, these stone slabs engraved with divine runes were still very useful.
Perhaps, he could not directly heal the injured and make them full of vigor and vitality.
However, with the divine runes engraved on the stone slabs, the heavily injured Kobolds could survive and become lightly injured.
After simple treatment and disinfection, the Kobolds could use their own life force to recover.
It was a very practical choice.
This was how the injured were treated.
Because of these improvements, the death rate of the dog-headed people on the battlefield had greatly decreased compared to the past, and they were no longer as terrifying as before.
Of course, even so, there were still many Kobolds who died.
After all, this was a battlefield.
How could there be no deaths on the battlefield?
There would also be specialized people to deal with the corpses of the Kobolds, who would put them in special boxes and transport them back.
This was now the norm.
Even though it had not been long, the Kobolds were used to transporting the corpses back and dealing with them.
Of course, this was because the Kobolds now had enough food and were not as lacking as before.
Otherwise, when there was a lack of food in the past, many Kobolds would eat the corpses of other Kobolds.
Now, this situation had disappeared in the vicinity.
Even though the conditions in the Kobold Tribe were still quite difficult, compared to the past, it was much better.
"107 people died in battle, 237 were injured, and 32 were disabled …"
By the side, someone was recording some data.
However, they weren't Kobolds, but human-like lifeforms.
On the surface, they did not look much different from ordinary humans, but their appearances were much more exquisite and beautiful, and their auras made people feel peaceful and beautiful.
From some details, it could be seen that they were not humans but extraordinary creatures, Tree Spirits.
These were Deerin and another Tree Spirit.
It had been a long time since Deerin had joined Karunu's subordinates.
After such a long time, she had grown accustomed to living in the Kobold Tribe.
As for the Dryad beside her, it was another Dryad that the Kobold Man had found during this period of time.
Back then, in the depths of the desert, the Centaurs had attacked the Dryad Tribe. After conquering it, they had captured many Dryads.
Even so, many Dryads managed to escape like Di Lin, and thus managed to survive.
The Tree Spirit next to Deerin was another Tree Spirit that had escaped, and she was called Aylan.
Just like Deerin, Aylan was not an adult among the Tree Spirits, and she looked like a little girl.
She looked like a human girl and was quite cute and exquisite.
"Even though there were twice as many Kobolds attacking the Centaurs, their casualties were about the same as the Centaurs …"
Ai Lan shook her head as she looked at the recorded data. She didn't know what to say at this moment.
"This is already quite good," Deerin said.
She was quite open-minded, "After all, the Centaurs are innately powerful, and there are very few races that can compare to them.
"For these Kobolds to be able to do this is already quite good.
Moreover, their battle strength is continuously rising. "
"That's true."
Hearing Deerin's words, Aylan nodded in agreement.
Indeed.
The World of Gods was incredibly vast, and there were many races within it.
But even among so many races, excluding those that originated from the gods and were innately noble extraordinary races, there really weren't many races that could compare to the centaurs in terms of innate talent.
Centaurs were truly blessed by the heavens. Not only did they possess the intelligence of humans, but they also possessed the innate qualities and strength of horses.
When the two were combined, there weren't many races that could compare to them in terms of innate abilities.
"Casualties aren't that big of a deal …"
Looking at the data in her hands, Deerin said, "Based on what Chief Karunu said, even though the Centaurs are more powerful, they can't compare to the Kobolds in terms of numbers.
"Even if we exchange ten Kobolds for one Centaur, we'll still be the ones to have the last laugh.
What's important is their mobility. "
In terms of sheer numbers, the Centaurs could not compare to the Kobolds.
This was true in every aspect.
Based on Kalum's understanding, although the Centaurs were strong, their fertility was not much different from that of humans. In fact, they might even be weaker than humans.
They needed two years to conceive, and then at least ten years to raise a qualified adult Centaur.
However, the Kobolds did not need to do this.
If a qualified Kobold had enough food, they could lay ten or so eggs in a year.
On the other hand, after the Kobolds hatched, they only needed a few years to mature and even have the strength to mate.
This massive difference in reproductive abilities was incredibly terrifying.
