Lord of the Oasis Chapter 17: .Upgrades after the war
"Almost finished."
Kant exhaled slightly, his face ugly.
This victory was really a fluke, and he knew in his heart that he was very lucky this time.
If it weren't for fate, perhaps he would have withdrawn from this oasis.
Or rather...
If they are unlucky, Kant and his "Dehrim" will be sent to the sentry oasis by those gnolls, and they will flee miserably in this cruel desert. The Principality of Lions, lived in extreme embarrassment, and then lived in incognito for the rest of his life.
500-scale gnoll, can be called a small army.
Even within the Principality of Lions, it must be highly valued by the lords of the local fiefs.
Although these gnolls are still in the primitive tribe period, they have not developed civilization, and they have no iron tools, but they are already extremely threatening because of their beast-like nature and bloodthirsty instinct.
They're actually not much better than the beasts.
But fortunately, these gnolls are more animal than rational.
"A beast without a thought is destined to be no climate."
Kant shook his head, with joy deep in his eyes.
In this battle, the reason why his troops were able to defeat the gnolls was not only the huge casualties caused to them in a short period of time, but also the **** massacre yesterday, which shocked those lucky ones who had escaped.
This is a psychological crush.
Those gnolls, who had already been severely traumatized, were frightened, retreated, and fled.
So more gnolls fled with their companions.
It eventually evolved into the collapse of the entire gnoll!
At this time, even if someone can organize a defense, avoid the collapse of the entire army, and stabilize these fickle gnolls, it is estimated that the whole line will collapse, it is Kant and the others.
Unfortunately, no.
These gnolls do not have a military organization, so they do not have a supervising team or reserve.
The scale of victory in this battle finally tilted in front of Kant.
So Kant will be happy.
That's why he said he was lucky.
And compared with the number of soldiers, Kant is seriously insufficient. In fact, in many aspects, in terms of the quality of the soldiers, his primary troops composed of Swadians are quite poor.
Very few can guarantee combat effectiveness.
For example, there are 10 Swadian militiamen and 20 Swadian recruits. They have leather armor, and the weapons in their hands are also military equipment. At the same time, they have also undergone hard training and mastered the fighting skills on the battlefield.
These people can guarantee combat effectiveness.
But in Kant's defensive force, there were only 30 such infantrymen.
As for the largest number of soldiers, who formed the main part of the array, it was the 50 Swadian farmers who knew how to farm, knew most of the chores, and even knew a lot of workshop work.
No armor, poor combat experience, can only use a long-handled scythe modified from agricultural tools.
Compared with gnolls, they are not strong or flexible, and they also have poor fighting instincts. The only advantage may be that the scythes in their hands are metal weapons, which can directly cause direct damage to those gnolls without armor. casualties and battle damage.
But even with the use of metal weapons, the casualties of Swadia's peasants are still not low.
"Made."
Kant gritted his teeth slightly.
The strong smell of blood still reverberated between his nose and mouth, and the smell made his head swell.
He turned his head and swept across the battlefield.
The corpses were placed in a mess, most of them were gnolls.
The blood-stained gray fur and the beast-like head are obvious, and despite wearing tattered linen clothes, it still doesn't look like a human, more like a beast.
Among these corpses, there are also many Swadians in linen robes and hoods.
Apparently, in the fierce battles before, these peasants gave their lives for "Dehrim".
"Sir, the statistics are out."
The desert robber walked over quickly, his face solemn.
Obviously, the results were not good.
"Go ahead," Kant said.
"No infantry was killed, only 6 were lightly wounded."
The desert robber hesitated slightly, but still said: "As for the farmers, 36 people were slightly injured..." His tone was slightly dragged, and he did not continue.
But Kant frowned: "Go on."
He knows this desert robber as a statistic, and the next thing to say is the death toll.
And Kant was also mentally prepared.
"Yes, my lord."
The desert robber swallowed and said solemnly and slowly: "As for the peasants, 26 people were slightly injured, and 15 people were killed in action."
"15 peasants killed?" Kant's tone rose slightly.
This was somewhat unexpected.
But it was also what he expected.
"Oh."
Kant clenched his fists, lowered his head for a moment, and nodded, "Bury them."
"Understood." The desert robber nodded.
This is what should be done.
After all, they died for Kant's fief. As their lord, whether it is a game or reality, they should be given a more decent burial.
"Everyone sweeps the battlefield."
After the arrangement, Kant turned around and walked towards the Consular Hall, while instructing: "The rest, you can watch the arrangement."
"Don't worry, Lord." The desert robber nodded.
Kant turned around and went back.
This desert robber is very spiritual. Although he can't solve a lot of troubles like a tavern hero, this kind of simple task in the real world can still help him solve his worries.
For Kant, now is the time to enjoy the fruits of victory.
Rewards from the system.
[Ding...After a fight, the enemy was defeated]
[Main quest: "Destroy the enemy at night" completed]
[Reward: Hunting Crossbow Ration (Swadian Militia Only)]
[Evaluation: A thrilling battle, the courage to break the boat, this is a commendable victory. ]
After the main quest is completed, the reward will come immediately.
Lying on the bed on the second floor of the Consular Hall, Kant's brows could not help but wrinkle slightly.
"Hunting crossbow ration? What does that mean."
Kant asked the system silently.
"This reward allows your Swadian militiamen to equip hunting crossbows, and in the future, they will have hunting crossbows and a bag of crossbow arrows when they are promoted."
The system responds quickly.
But this made Kant stunned: "Is this a reward?"
"Yes." The system's voice did not fluctuate in the slightest: "Completing the task, you will get rewards not only in kind, but also similar arms and equipment."
Kant nodded: "That's good."
The Swadian Militia, currently the only main infantry in Kant, can strengthen their combat effectiveness, of course it is good.
And it was in his mind.
It seems that in the previous game, some of the Swadian militiamen, this third-level army, would be equipped with hunting crossbows.
Although this hunting crossbow, just like its name, is more used for hunting, but in war, it is still a long-range weapon. Before contact, before the short handover, it shoots a round to weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness. Also excellent.
[Ding...Someone in your army can be upgraded]
There is more than one system prompt.
Kant's thoughts open, this is an important dialog about troop upgrades.
[Upgradable units: Swadian Farmer × 35]
[Cost 10 dinars per person, can be upgraded to: Swadian Recruit]
Kant was stunned.
In this battle, all farmers were allowed to level up?
Except for the 15 killed, the current 35 Swadian peasants can all be upgraded to level 1 troops. Although Swadian recruits seem weak, they are actually almost qualitative changes~IndoMTL.com~ From a farmer who only knows how to farm, to a trained recruit.
It is already two completely different occupations, and they are beginning to move towards the regular army!
But that's not the end.
The system dialog is still displayed.
[Upgradable units: Swadia recruits × 20]
[costs 20 dinars per person, can be upgraded to: Swadian Militia]
Like the peasants before them, these Swadian recruits can all be promoted to militia.
Kant swallowed.
Without rushing to a conclusion, he continued to look back.
[Upgradable units: Swadian Militia × 10]
[Cost 30 dinars per person, can be upgraded to: Swadian Light Infantry/Swadian Partisan Shooter]
This is the most important thing!
Level 3 arms, in the system, the real main force in the army.
Second of the three pillars of the Kingdom of Swadia.
The first is the Swadian light infantry symbolizing the melee infantry.
The second is the Swadian guerrilla shooter who symbolizes the ranged class.
Of course, after the Swadia light infantry is upgraded, you can continue to choose whether to upgrade the heavy infantry or switch to the cavalry. These are the upgrade routes for the units arranged by the system.
"That's good, very good."
Kant swallowed slightly.
Even if he can't upgrade heavy infantry and cavalry now, the current level 3 arms are enough.
A level 0 farmer, with a small number of level 1 and level 2 units, he is capable of fighting gnolls.
Now Kant has the main arm of level 3, as well as a large number of auxiliary arms of level 1 and 2, and the strength is fundamentally increased, and it is a step-by-step leap!
