Lord of the Oasis Chapter 233: .Change the reconnaissance troops
[Ding…temporary task release]
[Temporary mission: Explore the secrets of the ancient passage]
【Quest Reward: Upgrade (Village)】
[Quest introduction: When you stepped on this ancient passage, you seemed to have guessed about the myths of the past. You think there may be a deeper secret, and you plan to keep going until you discover the secrets of this ancient passage. ]
System dialogs appear on the retina.
Kant frowned slightly.
"Secrets of ancient mythology."
Scanning the introduction on the dialog box, Kant whispered: "It's really interesting."
That's right.
This is really interesting, to the point where Kant wants to know.
The once glorious age of gods has come to an end, leaving only ruins and ruins, not many who can pose a threat to him, even demonized creatures, in the absence of a large number of ferocious species, facing more than 500 People's elite troops must also bow their heads and become ministers, and understand who is the real king in today's era.
Kant may be even weaker, but he is not the same as these mythical relics who have survived for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years. After losing their former glory and strength, they can still fight brazenly with him.
Not to mention the completion of special tasks, you may also need to know to explore this ancient passage.
The stone road is neatly arranged.
The underground river next to it flows like a dam road.
It's just that the dam road is opened along the mountain and the underground stone layer, with a width of 10 meters. Not only are stone slabs laid, but on the right side of the mountain, reliefs of ancient warriors are carved every 5 meters or so.
The further you go, the clearer the relief on the side becomes.
But the road goes farther.
As if there is no end, it stretches all the way to the depths of darkness that seem to be frozen in time.
Kant led the troops for nearly 2 hours.
Although it is on foot, the distance is definitely several kilometers, they can estimate it.
But the ancient passage dug along the underground river has spread for several kilometers, and it is not even known whether it has come to an end. Obviously, their original idea has been overturned.
The sergeant next to him raises a torch.
Burning flames illuminate the surroundings.
The top of the 5-meter-high head still bears the marks of the rock being cut by tools, and there is no ceiling or relief carved.
It should be a cost and technical issue.
Even in the age of the gods, it is impossible to build such a large-scale building without considering the cost. Moreover, manpower and material resources are limited, and the ability to dig a channel that does not know how far has proved their architectural level, even if it is Ordinary tunnels can amaze everyone in this era.
Kant and the others arrived at this ancient passage not to appreciate the architectural level.
It's here to solve special and temporary tasks.
Instead of appreciating the architecture, he had already appreciated in the cave ruins that the architects in the time of the gods were superb, even the mountain can be completely hollowed out, and even the mountain rock can be carved into such a great giant statue .
That's already the top level of construction.
"This road."
Kant opened his mouth slightly, his face depressed: "Is there no end?"
The darkness ahead is congealing for eternity.
After walking for so long, even Kant's knightly body was a little tired.
Actually.
The elite soldiers behind them were also exhausted. The two-hour march on foot was a flat stone road, but with all the weapons and equipment, they were still panting with enough weight.
Not to mention there were several small-scale raids of demonic creatures.
Bandak walks forward.
Looking at Kant's depressed face, he sighed and suggested, "Lord Kant, I think it may be better to retreat now. We are now entering this ancient passage, and the distance is too far."
"But it's a pity to go back like this."
Kant squinted.
Bandak discouraged: "Perhaps we can send cavalry here."
"Cavalry?" Kant was slightly stunned.
"That's right." Seeing Kant's thoughtful thoughts, Bandak quickly suggested: "This ancient passage is made of stone slabs. Even cavalry can march, and we don't need to explore on foot at all. As long as a few cavalrymen are dispatched to investigate the situation in the passage first, and after a valid conclusion is reached, it will be more efficient for us to advance further."
"That's a very good suggestion." Kant nodded, agreeing with Bandak's words.
He turned his head and glanced at the Swadian heavy cavalry at the rear, who were in charge of the rear of the palace, and then directly instructed Bandak: "You should lead some troops back immediately, bring all the horses of the cavalry, and prepare at the same time. One day's food and fuel, I plan to lead the cavalry to continue advancing!"
"Uh... Lord Kant, that's not what I meant." Bandak looked stunned.
"Don't explain." Kant interrupted him and ordered him directly: "Go and deal with it, I don't think you will disappoint me, I will continue to wait here for you to come back with supplies."
"It's too dangerous to go deeper."
Bandak looks slightly anxious.
Kant is the supreme lord in his heart, and any danger is caused by his incompetence, so for safety reasons, Bandak continues to block.
Especially after sweeping through the deep ancient passages, Bandak solemnly said: "As the mage apprentices said, if you continue to go deep inside, you will feel the power of evil emanating. If you continue to lead the team forward , maybe the more demonized creatures you encounter will be stronger, you are risking your life to investigate!"
"Yes, Lord, please consider it carefully."
The mage apprentices also solemnly discouraged.
"Hmm," Kant responded.
Although Sergeant Rhodok in the rear, the Ravenston Rangers did not speak.
But he could still see the dissuasion in their eyes.
No one wants to see their loyal lord in the slightest danger, because this is the biggest mistake for them, even more serious than defeat and slaughter.
Your own life can be ignored, and it is honorable to die in battle.
Lord Kant must live.
This is their belief.
Kant looked at the real eyes of these soldiers and also understood where their beliefs came from.
He took a deep breath, a little cold, but Kant looked at Bandak and the apprentice mage, as well as the soldiers behind him, and said solemnly: "I want to get the answer, in this ancient passage, what is there? Something is waiting for me, so I won't quit, I have to get results."
This is a task given by the system, and Kant will not give up.
Moreover, he believed that the system would not harm him.
Sweeping their eyes, Kant continued in a deep voice: "According to my arrangement, continue to act, we must finish investigating this ancient passage this week."
"Yes!" Bandak could only nod solemnly when he saw Kant make a decision.
"Got it!"
Many soldiers responded in a deep voice.
Since this is Lord Kant's order, they obey it unconditionally.
If in danger.
They used their own bodies to build the strongest shield wall for Lord Kant. As level 4 and 5 mid-level and high-level troops, they also have their own arrogance and fearlessness in their chests!
Bandak turned and returned with the Swadian heavy cavalry.
Others are stationed in place under Kant's arrangement.
The torches brought are only lit 3, they are lit in the front, middle and rear respectively, relying on this light to maintain vision.
Underground river water rushes through.
In this deep darkness, perhaps the top of the Sanwaya Mountains is the top of the mountain, the entire ancient passage is silent, and the soldiers are all squatting on the damp and cold stone slabs and waiting, or take out the bread they carry with them. And water bladder, eat a few sips and drink a few sips to supplement the physical strength consumed.
As for sleep, it is also shallow, and security personnel are arranged, and no one is really asleep. After all, in the ancient passage, there are a group of bloodthirsty and tyrannical demonized creatures.
Everyone is wary.
Kant also sat on the slate, and even though he had a leather cushion, he still felt a bone-chilling chill.
Underground passage, plus the presence of rivers, the temperature is extremely low.
Even touching the damp water vapor in the corner of the wall, Kant found layers of frost. Obviously, if the temperature is low, it can condense into ice here. Obviously, deep in the ground, it is extremely cold!
Even the soldiers were sitting crouched back to back.
As for leaning against the stone wall, I dare not.
Although there is support, the coldness on the stone wall is quite strong, and it is easy to pass through the linen robe and chain armor, allowing the body's heat to quickly disappear, causing a state of weakness.
It's about the same climate as the Wikia Snowfields, and they know something about it.
"Mistakes."
Kant frowned at this, a little regretful: "I should ask Bandak to bring some leather jackets."
This soft leather jacket is worthless in Stone Pass.
Thanks to the abundance of wild animals in the Sangwaya Mountains, hunters can bring back a large number of prey every day, so leather products are equivalent to exports in the stone pass, and the price of self-sale is very low.
In order to solve the problem of cold nights in the "Drehem" castle, Manidke purchased a lot of leather jackets.
Also delivered nearly 300 sets to the village of "Aaron".
Although it is not enough for everyone to wear, it should be used as a bedding during rest, so that everyone has a place to sit and lean, and isolate the chill from the stone road and stone walls. There is absolutely no problem.
Waited for nearly 3 hours ~IndoMTL.com~ the sound of hooves.
The roar is like a flood breaking a bank.
It was the Swadian heavy cavalry who were coming on horseback, holding torches high, very conspicuous in this dark ancient passage, and soon appeared in front of Kant and the others, and they all stopped their horses and stopped advancing.
"Lord Kant, all the horses have been brought."
Bandak rolls over and dismounts.
At the same time, he brought the horse that was not riding next to him to Kant, and respectfully reported: "The food and fuel you arranged are all ready."
"Well done." Kant nodded with satisfaction to Bandak.
The surrounding infantry also stood up.
But it seems that I have been squatting for a long time, and the cold has invaded my legs and feet, making it a little inconvenient to move around.
But they won't be needed any more.
