Lord of the Oasis Chapter 130: .Undercurrent crisis

On the retina, a system dialog box pops up.

[Ding…temporary task release]

[Temporary Mission: Undertow Comes]

【Task reward: 10,000 dinars】

【Introduction: When you are choosing to develop, an undercurrent of stocks is about to come. Facing this new challenge, will you and your territory resist the rush of the undercurrent like a reef? Be careful, be careful, be careful! ]

Slightly squinted.

Kant swept over the introduction of Ling Mo Liang Ke.

"Dark tide?" he murmured softly.

Even the introduction of the system used three "cautious" to mark the importance of this temporary mission, making Kant's heart seem to be clenched by invisible forces, and he couldn't help but squinted slightly: "Is it so... serious? ?"

Yes, seriously.

Kant knew in his heart, otherwise the system would never have prompted him like this.

He pondered a little.

Kant looked at the position of the north and thoughtfully: "is that?"

North of the Nalen Desert, in the direction of the coast of Mannheim, the location of the Greymane Kingdom is also known for a long time. Those high-level gnolls will form an expedition and start their expedition towards the Sentinel Oasis.

The system suddenly gave a temporary task at this time.

The purpose is to remind Kant...

They're here!

If it weren't for the expeditionary force of the Greymane Kingdom, those high-level gnolls who have their own wisdom, Kant would never believe that the system would have such a solemn reminder, and issued such a temporary task with obvious warnings, and at the same time reward the task It is directly raised to such a high amount of 10,000 dinars.

On the third week of this month, the enemy will finally appear before Kant.

Step forward.

Kant quickly returned to the Consultative Hall, waved to the guards at the door and instructed: "Go to the Fatis Knight and inform him that there is an emergency waiting to be dealt with."

"Understood!" The guard saluted and quickly turned to leave.

Sit in your chair.

Soon, Fatis pushed the door and walked in quickly, with a solemn look on his face: "Lord Kant, are you looking for me?"

"Yes." Kant nodded.

With the same solemn expression, he stretched out his hand and said to Fatis: "Sit down and say, it seems that we are really going to face a new test. I think we should be ready."

"Greymane Kingdom?" Fatis narrowed his eyes, guessing the truth.

"That's right."

Kant nodded and tapped his fingers on the table with a very serious expression: "It's them."

Fatis frowned.

The heart beats faster.

But there is no panic and fear on their faces. They have repeatedly deduced the possibility that the Greymane Kingdom Expeditionary Force is about to attack. After taking a deep breath, Fatis said solemnly: "I will prepare."

"I don't need it for now." Kant shook his head and frowned, "They haven't come yet."

"There's still time?" Fatis asked with a frown.

"That's right," Kant replied.

A vague expression has been given in the system introduction.

The dark tide is coming.

The word "coming soon" of course means that it hasn't happened yet, so combined with this sentence, Kant can easily guess the system's prompt, that is, it will take some time for this danger to reach here.

Perhaps long.

Perhaps in a flash.

Fatis looked cautious and said slowly: "We must not let our guard down."

"Yes, you can't relax your vigilance." Kant nodded and commanded in a deep voice: "After the meeting, you will arrange for all the soldiers to be on standby, cancel the vacation, and raise the alert level to the highest level."

"Understood." Fatis nodded.

But Kant didn't finish speaking. After a pause, he continued to arrange: "Let all desert robbers be scattered for investigation. The range is 3 kilometers from the sentry oasis, and the investigation direction is mainly the north."

"Yes." Fatis continued to nod.

These are all wartime arrangements, and it is up to Kant to decide.

It is also the implementation of the planned plan.

"Fatis, you can arrange it."

Kant waved to Fatis, looked at his Swadian nobleman, and said solemnly: "Tell our soldiers that the crisis is imminent, and stay vigilant."

"I see." Fatis nodded and strode away.

He can handle it well.

Kant believed in the ability of Fatis, but his heart still had some palpitations before the battle.

Not fear.

Just a little bit of inner turmoil about the coming of war.

The development of the "Drehem" fortress has reached a certain critical point. Although there are still many buildings that have not yet been built, it has little impact on the current situation.

Soldiers who can go into battle to defend against the enemy's fortifications.

It has everything you need.

What is really missing, perhaps, is the experience gained by the enemy in real engagement with the enemy.

"The storm is coming." Kant took a deep breath.

He was already mentally prepared for the arrival of the Greymane Kingdom Expeditionary Force. After all, the gnoll noble Asage, who was captured at the beginning, and the high-level gnoll warriors who were discovered and wiped out last week have all proved that Manhai The tentacles of Mu's coast began to extend more and more here, as if they were touching.

And the time for the final attack is also not far away.

………………

"Dong dong dong -- dong dong dong -- dong dong dong --"

The bell rang slightly hurriedly.

The clear sound of this bronze bell being struck quickly echoes inside and outside the Sentinel Oasis.

Agricultural area.

The peasants and peasant women who were still busy at first turned their heads to look in the direction of the fortress in amazement when they heard the bell, with a bit of daze in their eyes, obviously they didn't understand what happened.

But in an instant, the meaning of the bell appeared in their minds.

The cold sweat instantly appeared on their skulls, and they threw away the work in their hands and ran towards the gate of the fortress.

Running fast.

It's not just them.

There are also Swadian light infantry patrolling the agricultural and pastoral areas.

These 3rd-level units are the main force of patrols. Basically, around the current Sentinel Oasis, they rely on their patrols to maintain stability and ensure the safety of civilians.

But now, they are running, with the "crashing" sound of the shuttle armor on their bodies.

The running was out of breath, unable to maintain the formation.

They all rushed into the fortress at the two city gates. At the same time, they also saw that behind the shooting window in the attic of the city wall, their comrades in arms with longbow and crossbow were on guard, looking into the distance with bright eyes, obviously very serious.

Their hearts burst slightly.

War is coming.

The peasants and peasant women all gathered in front of the clock tower and waited in silence.

On the street next to it are all the troops currently owned by Sentinel Oasis, including Mamluks, Swadian heavy cavalry, Swadian infantry, desert robbers, including Manid who is still inspecting the sugar factory Wait until it's all there.

This is the urgent assembly bell.

It's only when some kind of emergency order is issued that it's sounded so urgently.

It is very different from the gentle chimes that tell the time on weekdays.

As urged by the lord.

In the bell tower, the Fatis knight came out with a serious face, and swept the troops that were all on standby except the bowman, the scabbard around his waist, and the strong knight's sword had been drawn by him. .

"Lord Kant's subjects and soldiers."

Fatis took a deep breath and said solemnly, "The war is about to begin."

This is an urgent collection.

It's only natural that the military knight should declare a state of war.

Kant did it to him.

Fatis doesn't hesitate, this is his area of ​​expertise.

Daily orders are issued.

All the soldiers have been mobilized, and the entire fortress has entered the highest alert mode. Any disturbance will attract everyone's attention, and the war will be the first.

Civilians also received orders.

Move all valuables into the fortress, and all livestock are listed separately in the city walls.

Including the 5 acres of land on the west side of the small lake, the splendens grass field was also required to be harvested by farmers and peasant women in the shortest possible time and stored as green fodder.

As for those date palms that have already bloomed and will bear fruit in months.

One can only expect the gnolls to come slowly.

The current "Drehem" fortress, although a stone city wall has been built, does not completely cover the entire area. In fact, even if it is built into a luxurious castle, the city wall will not be for a date palm forest. It is not cost-effective and impractical to build it separately.

The best way is to cut down and burn the surrounding trees.

In order to prevent the enemy from building siege equipment.

For Kant, if those gnoll expeditions are really coming, then he will order without hesitation to cut down all the date palm trees and leave no one.

He doesn't expect that those higher gnolls don't have siege skills.

All have established the Kingdom of Greymane.

Have its own light.

How could these advanced gnolls not have the technology to manufacture siege equipment?

Not to mention they come here.

In order to attack the human kingdom and plunder the wealth of human beings, how could there be no siege equipment, or even a craftsman who knows how to make siege weapons?

So much fine wood.

Even if it is impossible to build a siege machine, the tree trunks alone can be used as stairs to climb the 7-meter-high city wall attic, allowing those gnolls to appear inside the fortress and become a stepping stone for them to conquer the sentry oasis!

The desert robbers rushed out of the city gates on horseback.

The trio, with the north as the direction, spread out and began to investigate.

The dark cloud of war shrouded the Nalen Desert~IndoMTL.com~ And just at the natural salt mine, 300 gnoll pirates who escaped from the Devil's Land and trekked on foot were looking weakly at the tents that were being torn on the ground. , and was still everywhere, white bones full of tooth marks.

As planned.

In this salt mine, there should be a high-level gnoll team responsible for responding to them.

They looked at the bones viciously.

His face is extremely ferocious.

The white bone with tooth marks was obviously caused by gnawing, and looking at the skeleton, it can be seen that it is the leg bone of a gnoll, and the tooth marks on it are also caused by the fangs of a gnoll.

They are very angry.

The low-level gnoll tribe of the Naron Desert is indeed a savage tribe of ignorance.

In the hearts of these gnoll pirates, there is already judgment.
