Lord of the Oasis Chapter 119: .New situation before the banquet

The dusk is gradually coming to an end, and the bright stars are accompanied by the moon, releasing their own light in the sky.

Like a soft gauze falling on the ground, with the tenderness of the night.

The sticks were wrapped with linen strips and drenched in grease, and the slightly crude torches had been made. They were held in the hands of the Swadian light infantry of the patrol team and carried out along the outer dunes of the sentry oasis. Patrol before night.

On the streets inside the city walls, the same torches are lit, inserted into deliberately made grooves in the walls on both sides.

The torches are bright enough, just like daytime.

The entire street is clearly visible.

This makes it convenient for busy farmers and peasant women to get busy with the work at hand a little faster.

Tables and chairs were removed from the house.

There are also wooden bowls and plates, as well as knives, forks, and spoons.

The rich aroma of food filled the air, and 10 roasted golden desert antelopes were brought to the table, including sliced ​​bread in small rattan baskets, and white salt mixed with a little spice sprinkled on a wooden plate.

Add buckets of cabbage bisque for a steaming, enticing aroma.

It's dinner time.

And it was a sumptuous banquet specially prepared to celebrate the victory.

And the intoxicating ale.

All from the Jivadin caravan.

For tonight's banquet, as well as to celebrate the successful establishment of the fortress, including the launch of the salt trade, Manid purchased 10 barrels of ale on his own initiative, although the price was slightly expensive, reaching 250 dinars per barrel, but It has a very good relaxing effect for soldiers and civilians who have been busy for a long time and are in a tense state.

Manid has reported it, and Kant agrees.

It has been immersed in the cold spring water and can be pulled up to open the lid when the meal is ready.

Sip a sip of the amber-colored wine, the slight malt sweetness fills the mouth with the coolness, swallow it in one gulp, burp the wine with satisfaction, before the refreshing feeling dissipates, cut a piece of roast with a knife The golden lamb, dipped in salt and placed in the mouth, is extremely delicious.

Just thinking about it makes my mouth and stomach explode tonight!

Everyone is smiling.

Food and wine are the eternal laws of all planes.

Soldiers who were off duty also came to help.

All the wort frozen in the spring water were taken out and placed neatly beside the long table. The wet wine barrels had not been wiped clean, and a circle of water stains soaked the sandy soil that had been trampled underfoot.

They can't wait to taste the liquor.

No one can resist the intoxicating, slightly intoxicating coolness of an amber-like liquor running down one's throat.

It's just Lord Kant, their lord has not yet come down, no one will really steal the ale, even if it's a sip.

This is a heartfelt admiration for a worthy lord.

After patrolling, the Swadian light infantry came back with torches. After confirming that there was no problem, they exchanged responsibilities with their companions, put down the burden of a busy day, and walked towards the street in groups of three or five. .

The light-steppers who took over their posts stood on the city gates or walls as sentries.

After dark, guard the city walls and key points carefully.

However, there are still elite Swadian infantry in heavy armour that patrol the interior of the fortress.

Loose on the outside and tight on the inside, safety first.

Everyone was on standby on both sides of the street, and those who knew each other sat together, chatting with each other about past anecdotes, and occasionally burst into laughter. The atmosphere was extremely warm.

The banquet is about to begin.

Manid, as the host, stood in the chair of the long table and nodded secretly to the atmosphere.

As of now, the banquet is half done.

"Is Lord Kant down yet?"

Fatis has arranged for the night sentries and patrols, and then walks quickly.

But he didn't see Kant, so he couldn't help turning his head to look at the towering Consular Hall next to him, and said to Manid helplessly: "Is no one going to call Lord Kant? Maybe he fell asleep because he was too tired." /

"No." Manid was also helpless: "Master Kant ordered that you don't need to call him for dinner."

"However, this banquet, without Lord Kant, may be too disappointing." Fatis was stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

This is a celebration dinner.

The largest banquet ever held at Sentinel Oasis.

Roast lamb, roast meat, roast sausage, all kinds of food have been piled on the table.

And the cabbage bisque, as well as the ale, are pretty hearty meals.

For the success of tonight's banquet, a lot of spices were even added to the food, which is quite a luxury banquet condiment for the current Sentinel Oasis.

Now, Lord Kant doesn't even appear.

The owner of the Sentinel Oasis, the lord of the "Drehem" fortress, could not be absent from the banquet.

"Wait."

Fatis' eyes shrank instantly.

He turned his head to look at the corner of the edge of the city wall, and his tone was astonished: "I don't remember there...that's..."

"What?" Manid also turned to look.

The soldiers who were still chatting also keenly discovered something. They all stood up in shock and looked around with wide-eyed eyes, as if they had discovered something.

And in the eyes, there is joy in all of them.

"Is that an arrow tower?"

Fatis's voice sounded, and the tone was extremely surprised: "And the city wall attic?"

"That's right." Manid nodded in agreement.

Everyone inside and outside the fortress nodded affirmatively, especially the Swadians, who were even more surprised.

The arrow tower made of stone, and the attic built of solid wood on the city wall, with a strong Swadian kingdom style, how could these Swadian soldiers not be allowed to Nostalgia and emotion?

"This is Lord Kant's miracle."

Manid spoke, causing everyone at the banquet to cheer.

In their minds, this is a great power that only God can do.

And they know that too.

They who are in the Land of Miracles, and Lord Kant they follow, can also do it!

Everyone's faces are full of joy and smiles. The appearance of these buildings represents the rise of the city defense system again, and it is a guarantee for the safety of all of them, especially those farmers and peasant women, who are even more excited to cry .

This represents a chance for survival.

Under the attack of the enemy, the confidence to persevere.

A rectangular fortress with arrow towers in all four corners, 10 meters in height and 5 meters in width, divided into upper, middle and lower layers, at least 30 crossbowmen can be garrisoned. Like a giant full of thorns, he is guarding the fortress with his chest out.

The original stone city wall, which had only a concave and convex arrow retaining wall, has changed its appearance.

The most obvious thing is the height.

The 5-meter-high stone city wall has become 7 meters, because the attic made of wood splicing and reinforcement has a height of 2 meters itself, which not only increases the city wall, but also shelters the wind and rain, and even blocks A pouring rain of arrows from top to bottom.

This is the attic where the bowmen live. It really evolved from the attic where the people lived.

Not only can improve the survivability of bowmen.

When there is no war, it can be used as a resting place for the archers, guarding their posts day and night.

If war comes.

These crossbowmen push open the window-like shooting holes, and they can transform this usually sheltered attic into a dead beast that spits countless arrows, so that the siege troops know what is defending the city anger.

"Woo-"

The sound of the horn for the alarm suddenly sounded at the top of the Consulate.

The Ravenston Ranger stuck his head above it, pointed to the east and shouted loudly, "A strange force is approaching!"

"What?"

Fatis was stunned for a moment, with a bit of doubt on his face.

But immediately clenched his fists and shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "Everyone is in a state of preparation, and immediately go to the city wall to deploy defense. Before receiving a new order, keep the defense in place on the city wall!"

"Understood!" The soldiers on the street who were still waiting for the banquet to start shouted.

Everyone's faces were extremely serious.

Because of unfamiliar troops, they are still heading towards the Sentinel Oasis. At present, all they can think of is that the Greymane Kingdom expedition from the coast of Mannheim is here to conquer their enemy troops!

"Wait, it doesn't seem like the enemy!"

Atop the Consulate, the Ravenston Ranger sticks his head out and shouts again.

Looking at the comrades who were ready for battle, the ranger looked a little embarrassed, and still shouted to them: "It seems to be the Kingdom of Vikya, and the troops of the Kingdom of Swadia, you guys. Send someone out to take a look."

The soldiers who were still striding towards the city wall subconsciously stopped.

The Kingdom of Wikia...

And the troops of the Kingdom of Swadia?

Jocelyn, the leader of the caravan, looked slightly stunned. He was a Vikya.

Fatis frowned and asked the ranger in a reprimanding tone, "Are you sure?"

"OK."

The ranger replied with a slightly apologetic tone: "Sorry, I didn't make it clear."

"Make it clear next time!" Fatis snorted coldly.

But he didn't continue to reprimand any more, he turned his head and re-ordered the surrounding soldiers: "Remove the alarm, go to a few light cavalry to explore, if it is the troops of the Kingdom of Vijay and the Kingdom of Swadia, bring them with them. Come here and come to the Land of Miracles, it means they are heroic warriors who are willing to follow Lord Kant and help us."

"Yes." The four desert robbers responded quickly and ran to the stable.

Just behind the sand dunes, 100 troops are walking in a neat queue, except for stepping on the sand layer, sinking and pulling out, the small sound of sand appears, all members are silent, just heading towards the target sentry oasis go in the direction.

Although they are closely arranged, these 100 people are also distinct.

50-man Vician archer.

And a 50-man Swadian crossbowman.
