Lord of the Oasis Chapter 111: .Continuing crisis

Kant's character is to do what he says.

Moreover, the reoccupation of the salt mines is also the main strategic direction for the development of Sentinel Oasis.

Let those gnolls who were defeated and scattered, regain their foothold in the salt mines and the ruins of the tribe, and develop into a strong tribe over time. For Kant, he didn't want to see such a situation.

Although the Narun Desert is vast, its resources are extremely scarce.

And the force that can survive and develop in this barren land, Kant only allows one, that is himself.

As for the life and death of those gnolls.

What does it have to do with him?

After lunch and a short rest, the order to assemble has been issued.

The 20 Salander riders and 25 elite desert robbers gathered together and waited outside the city gate on the east side. Seeing that they were riding on horses, whispering to each other, with a grin on their faces, they obviously did not care about this. The next expedition is in mind.

These gangsters from the Sarand desert have always been fearless.

With Kant, there is no need to worry about being in danger by underestimating the enemy.

They are all desert gangsters who lick blood on the head of the knife. They underestimate the enemy because of their unruly habits. Although life and death are up to their lives, they have never seen anyone who wants to really think about it. With Kant's leadership, they will only be more cautious.

This attack, cleaning up the gnolls occupying the ruined wells and salt mines, is just part of the mission.

It also includes coarse salt from the salt mine. Bring it back and cook it as soon as possible.

There isn't much patience on the side of Stone Pass.

"Ready?"

Kant walked out of the city gate and looked at the 55 cavalry lined up in front of him, his face softened slightly.

Time waits for no one.

It would take a day to go from the sentry oasis to the tribal ruins, not to mention that it would take a long time to go to the natural salt mine, go back and forth, boil the salt and boil the salt, and then lead the team to the stone pass.

It will take a week.

Fatis followed behind, hearing a little anxiety in Kant's voice, he said, "Everything is ready."

This attack was arranged by him. After thinking about it and confirming that it was correct, he said with a certain tone: "The camels and materials are also ready. After arriving at the natural salt mine, you can directly mine the coarse salt and bring it back. ."

"Good job." Kant nodded with satisfaction.

Not far from these Salanders, 10 dromedary camels are standing there honestly.

The bulging sacks hung on the camel's back are the food, water sacs, and bags used to hold coarse salt for the trip to the depths of the Narun Desert this time. They are looked after by 10 farmers who went as entourage. quite well prepared.

The Swadian infantry brings Kant's steed.

Stepping on the stirrups, Condlisso got on his horse, pulled on his hood and said, "Ready to leave."

"Ready to go!"

The Sarandian riders immediately shouted.

The originally neat line of cavalry gradually spread out, and the Sarande horses under the crotch snorted and began to move their feet. With the pulling of the reins, the horses turned their heads and slowly swept in the predetermined direction.

And Fatis walked a few steps quickly and said to Kant: "Sir, do you really need to follow more people?"

"No need." Kant shook his head.

Looking at the Swadian infantry on standby on the city wall and the light infantry patrolling around the oasis, Kant's face was also more solemn: "Your task is to garrison the fortress, communicate with Manid and assign each other. The scope of my responsibility, I don't want to wait for myself to come back and find that my territory is a mess."

"Understood, Lord Kant." Fatis said solemnly.

But there was still concern on his face.

Having patrolled the depths of the Naron Desert for many days, Fatis clearly understood that even if the gnolls were defeated, the small gnoll tribes that were originally scattered in the desert were still quite numerous.

"Don't worry." Kant noticed his worry, shook his head with a chuckle, patted his body and said, "I still have this."

It's a long stick-like object in a slender linen bag.

The length is like a lance or spear used by cavalry, but it is slightly bloated and appears to be wrapped in something.

【Deterrence of the enemy】

What Kant currently possesses is an artifact.

Seeing this closed flag, Fatis's worried expression softened slightly, but he still reminded: "Sir, fighting on the battlefield is very dangerous, if possible, please consider the premise of paying attention to safety. Victory and defeat on the battlefield."

"Well, I'll pay attention." Kant nodded, shook the reins, turned around and galloped.

The horseshoe sinks into the sand, leaving a shallow pit.

The entire team began to speed up, heading towards the depths of the Naron Desert.

Time is tight, and they have to go to the tribal ruins as quickly as possible.

There is the only water source in the surrounding area. The gnolls who were defeated and scattered will definitely gather in the ruins again, although they are not as large as they used to be, or even the gnoll shaman who has mastered the mysterious power. Ordinary The number of gnolls is certainly not too small.

With the current 20 Salander riders and 25 elite desert robbers, although they are light cavalry, they will directly attack the ranks of these ordinary gnolls, smash them down, and defeat them again, but there is absolutely no problem.

Frightened bird, twice again.

What's more, 【Deterrence of the enemy】is not a vegetarian.

Be the first to reduce morale in rounds, and continue to reduce morale as the enemy is killed. After several rounds of morale reduction, it is almost a negative number. How can it continue to resist stubbornly and fight Kant and the others like a broken boat?

This is impossible!

The footprints and marks left by the expedition last month are still clearly visible.

There is very little wind in the Nalen Desert, so the footprints and rut marks on the dunes need to be eliminated unless there is a sandstorm that rarely occurs in a century. eliminate.

But this time, at least a few months.

So Kant and the others don't care that the route will be wrong.

Following the traces of the past, the team moved forward quickly, but the road was quiet, and there were not too many gnolls.

The usual thirty or forty gnolls turned around and fled when they encountered Kant. They looked panicked. Obviously, they were extremely afraid of Kant and his light cavalry, and did not dare to compete with them.

At first Kant also ordered them to be killed.

But it's basically a waste of time and nothing to gain.

Therefore, when moving forward, when encountering a small group of gnolls, they will simply ignore them. Unless there are about a hundred of them, which may cause a little harm to the sentry oasis, Kant will blatantly order, holding a golden lion on a red background. Flags, led the team to wash them down, all slaughtered in the desert, so as to avoid future troubles.

The troops are still moving fast.

Salander horses, desert horses, are all horse breeds suitable for desert areas.

Dromedary camels are also known as desert boats. Although short-distance bursts are not as good as horses, long-distance travel is worse than endurance.

This is the main reason for guaranteed forward speed.

Fortunately, however, Kant's camels and warhorses did not have an accident.

According to past life experience, horses are very sensitive to the smell of camels and will be quite afraid. The camel will be irritable with the horse, and if the two are put together, it is estimated that the chickens and dogs will be jumping, and the trouble will be impossible.

This is why, the camel cavalry is the absolute nemesis of the horse cavalry.

That's why.

However, this kind of arms can only appear in the desert area. After all, in the flat grassland or other plain areas, the highly mobile horse cavalry is not afraid of the slow-moving camel cavalry.

But in the desert, camel cavalry is extremely powerful.

This has been shown in deserts in one part of the planet.

In history, the Arabs rode camels and overcame the elite cavalry of countless empires in the desert, including the Byzantine Empire, the Sassanid Persian Empire, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

To tell the truth, Kant is also quite interested in this.

But think that there is currently no standard camel cavalry, and you can only choose to give up.

The troops are moving fast.

Rest at dusk, prepare dinner, continue the journey after nightfall, and don't camp until late at night.

Traveling at dawn, soon approached the Horde ruins.

From the Sentinel Oasis to the ruins of the Gnoll Tribe, just cavalry can reach it in one day. Even if there are accompanying infantry, more than two days is enough, and the distance is not too far.

Kant rode his horse up the dunes, followed by 10 Salander riders as escorts.

"There are no sentries."

These Sarandian riders who already belong to the regular army report.

Kant snorted coldly: "It seems that these gnolls thought we'd let them go?"

I don't even have a sentinel, I'm really brave.

Looking down the dunes, on the originally flat desert, there are still large areas that have been burned by the fire, and there are still rubble and ashes everywhere.

But in the ruins, another tattered tent was erected.

"Wait, that's..."

But Kant's eyes narrowed, and he found something unusual.

These tattered linen tents, as well as dozens of tents made of brand new linen, even Kant's eyes swept over there~IndoMTL.com~ These brand new tents are distinct from other tattered tents boundaries.

Just like the Chu River and the Han world, although they are close, the two will never intersect.

Not even the gnolls in the humble tents dared to approach.

As if there was some big terror.

This is not surprising to Kant.

Because he had already discovered that what appeared in these brand-new tents was a gnoll wearing chain mail and holding a two-handed tomahawk. The hair on his body was clean and smooth, and he was definitely not a low-level gnoll living in these deserts.

"Higher gnoll, are you here again?" he said slowly.
