Lord of the Oasis Chapter 53: .strike before dawn

It's 2 p.m.

The atmosphere dropped a little. Just northeast of the sentry oasis, the assembled troops were waiting.

Kant rides the horse and Phatis is in front.

The construction team leader from Suno stood respectfully at the head of the horse.

"Master Fatis, you are the noble master of Suno, and I dare not relax even just because you are here!"

The construction leader's fat face was sweating.

Especially when he found out that the general who was with the lord in front of him turned out to be the eldest young master of a certain high-ranking noble in Su Nuo.

"This is the best." Fatis said lightly.

And he looked at the terrified appearance of the construction team leader, and frowned, "Do you know me?"

"Yes, yes, Master Fatis."

The cold sweat on the fat face of the construction team leader grew more and more: "Who doesn't know about you, Su Nuo, although you and your brother..." He realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly turned aside: "Uh, nothing, Fa Your erudition, Master Tees, is well known."

Fatis has apparently heard him.

His face was gloomy, and there was despair in his eyes: "I'm not a noble young master from Suno!" He said solemnly.

"This...this..." The construction leader's fat face, cold sweat could not stop flowing.

After swallowing, he felt that he might still have a chance to save himself, so he could not help but blurt out: "Master Fatis, if you return to Suno, I don't know how happy your father will be."

But his words made Fatis' complexion even more complicated.

At this time, how could the construction leader not know that he seemed to have said the wrong thing again.

"Lord Kant, I will go to the front to inspect the troops."

Fatis turned to Kant and said, "I'm sorry, I'm rude." Before Kant agreed, he rode his horse and walked forward.

The fat face of the construction leader was already pale, and his legs were shaking.

Obviously, he is extremely afraid of the noble family behind Fatis, who belongs to the ordinary citizens of Suno.

"It's better not to mention this kind of thing in the future."

Kant spoke, his face calm.

It was just that his eyes swept across the back of Fatis, with a bit of emotion and sigh.

The reason why Fatis is wandering is because he is jealous of his younger brother and kills his younger brother for a slutty courtesan. When the player takes Fatis near Suno, he will appear to tell This sad past.

The name of the wandering knight is also derived from this. He does not want to return to his noble family, and would rather wander around the mainland.

Kant frowned slightly, and he glanced at the sun in the sky.

It's almost time.

He opened his mouth and said to the building leader: "Take care of my village."

"Yes, Lord."

The construction leader nodded quickly, glanced at the 30 construction workers behind him, and said flatteringly, "Even if we fight the last person, we will defend your village!"

Discovering that he had offended Fatis, he no doubt wanted to hug Kant's thigh again.

"Hehe."

Kant just chuckled at his words: "If so, that would be great."

Instigating the horse under his crotch to move, he raised his head and shouted: "Let's go!"

"Go!" Fatis leads the way.

The troops that had already been prepared in advance officially moved forward slowly.

Target the northeast, the Gnoll tribe.

All are out.

"Lord Lord, we look forward to your triumphant return."

The construction team leader waved his hand, and followed him respectfully, like a reluctant woman.

But his hospitality was clearly in vain.

Kant and the others didn't look back.

However, this fat building team leader doesn't care. He can get such an extra task and increase his relationship with the lord. In his opinion, this is an absolutely valuable reward.

As for whether there will be an enemy invasion.

That doesn't need to be considered at all.

The Sentinel Oasis is located in the Narun Desert.

The desolate place does not even come to the vile runaway serf.

As for gangs of evil forces such as robbers, bandits, and horse thieves to invade and loot, it is purely overthinking.

The only enemy is the gnoll tribe, which is still being attacked by Kant's troops.

These construction workers assist the guards, and there is no problem at all.

So Kant is very relieved.

200 Swadian recruits lined up behind the wagon.

70 Swadian militiamen are at the forefront.

Twenty-five Swadian light infantry marched parallel to Kant and the wagon.

At the forefront of the entire team, the 17 elite desert robbers and the newly recruited 1 desert robber this week have all dispersed, acting as rangers to scout the road conditions and environment ahead.

According to Kant's calculations, they have 2 days to travel.

At the beginning, they rode on horses, of course, very fast, and reached the gnoll tribe in one day.

But the current troops are mostly infantry, and it is impossible to speed up the march.

What's more, Kant doesn't care. He can reach the gnoll tribe in the shortest time. As long as he can follow the tactical plan, deploy it in the night before dawn, and launch a surprise attack.

Move forward fast, and the marching speed of the entire team is not slow.

Compared to Kant's march with 30 Swadian peasants, it was undoubtedly much faster.

Continue on by night.

Sleep late at night, and at dawn, when the sky is still dark and the temperature has not fully risen, the team continues to march.

Only when the temperature is highest at noon, do you dig a sand pit to rest.

After repeating this, they soon came to the desert where the gnoll tribe was located.

At this time, it was already dark.

It is dusk now.

It's about to fall into the night.

Kant rode his horse and stood on the sand dune, looking at the gnoll tribe in the distance, with a bit of sigh on his face.

He turned his head to Fatis next to him and said, "It's them."

"There are indeed many." Fatis nodded.

He also saw the bottom of the dunes, in a plain-like desert, messy tents were being built, and many gnolls came in and out, seeming to be busy in the tribe.

These are all enemies and objects to be slaughtered.

The faces of the soldiers behind them were grim, and although their eyes were tired, their weapons were still clenched tightly.

They can't wait to fight.

"Everyone pay attention to concealment."

But Kant's command was conveyed to everyone's ears: "Take a break."

The attack of the tactical plan was not scheduled for dusk.

But before dawn.

Those are the darkest times, the most groggy and the most sleepy of all creatures.

Both vigilance and reaction are at their worst.

Soon, the soldiers settled down in their tents.

They are in the downwind, or the back of the dune, even if it is a campfire to cook food.

What's more, it is at least a kilometer away from the Gnoll tribe. Any abnormal situation will be noticed by the sentries at the top of the dunes. Whether it is a battle or a retreat, the initiative is in their own hands.

The night is getting darker.

In the dark night sky, a bright galaxy appeared.

Each of Kant and the others were half full. They didn't take off their clothes when they slept and rested, and they all held weapons in their arms.

They are all waiting for their time.

Sentinels change every hour to ensure everyone gets enough sleep.

And wait for the bright moon to slowly set in the west.

The long river of stars also disappeared in the deep darkness.

The Darkness Before Dawn ~IndoMTL.com~ is finally here.

"Wake up, wake up."

Gently slapped the comrades next to him. On the back of the dune, the faint bonfire was still burning in the sand pit.

And these Swadian infantrymen are also completely awake.

His face was solemn, and there was a determined killing intent in his eyes.

"Lord Kant."

Fatis came with his warhorse.

Behind him, the 17 elite desert robbers and the newly recruited desert robber were already holding the warhorse in the left hand and the flanged hammer in the right, waiting for the order with stern expressions.

"According to the tactical plan."

Kant nodded, and beside him, 295 Swadian soldiers were also ready.

"Understood." Fatis nodded and commanded at the same time, "Are you all ready?"

The desert robbers nodded, quickly checked their weapons and equipment, and finally took out two water bladders tied together in their hands, looked at Fatis and Kant and said solemnly: "Ready."

"Let's act." Kant also nodded and gave the order to start the war.

"Let's go."

The Fatis and the desert robbers did not mount their horses directly. Instead, they led the war horses on their own and slowly circled in other directions.

They have different tactical objectives and different positions to enter the battlefield.

But just outside the dunes, under the dim starlight and moonlight, the huge and chaotic Gnoll tribe still quietly erected countless tents, unaware of the imminent danger.
