Lord of the Oasis Chapter 159: .The tragic death toll
But looking at Fatis, the smile on Kant's face subsided.
Breathe calmly in my heart, since I already know the happy things first, it is time to know the unhappy reports. Kant asked calmly: "How about the casualties of my soldiers in this battle?"
"Somewhat tragic."
Fatis stood up, bent over and saluted, his face very solemn.
"Say." Kant squinted.
Manid and Jocelyn fell silent when they heard Fatis' words.
This is indeed a topic to be taken seriously.
Taking a deep breath, Fatis said solemnly: "In terms of the city walls, 13 of the 20 Reston Rangers were killed in battle, 37 of the 100 Vician archers were killed, and 40 of the 50 Swadian crossbowmen were killed in action. people."
As the commander of the city wall position, Kant is mentally prepared.
The debriefing can now be heard.
His face still began to look ugly, and the casualty was beyond his expectations.
With a gloomy face, Kant said, "Continue."
"Yes." Fatis nodded.
Organizing the language a little, he continued to report in Shen Shenghui: "50 Swadian infantrymen were killed, 37 people, 500 Swadian militiamen...killed..." Speaking of this, his tone paused for a while, it seemed to be a little bit hesitate.
"Go on." Kant frowned and urged.
Fatis finally sighed and said solemnly: "500 Swadian militiamen were killed...312 people."
"What." Manid exclaimed.
As the commander in charge of the top floor of the attic, he took the 500 militiamen to fight back against the gnolls.
At that time, when the 500 Swadian militiamen were stationed on the city wall attic, the 5-hundred-man formation was still quite complete, but after they were dispatched to support the city wall attic and city gate, the death rate was more than half directly. , almost all of this huge number of militia troops were crippled. If the battle lasted longer, it is estimated that the entire army would be wiped out!
Kant is silent, Jocelyn is silent, Manid and Phatis are equally silent.
The battle was brutal.
All the troops in charge of defending the city had more than half of them killed.
At that time, Kant didn't feel it when he left the city wall and city gate. Now that he heard the report, although it was just a number, not the corpse, his heart was still extremely heavy, after all, this was his soldier.
Breathing calm, Kant relaxed his emotions and continued to ask: "Where's the cavalry?"
"Cavalry casualties are minor."
Fatis spoke, his tone finally no longer solemn: "10 knights, 5 Mamluks, 87 heavy cavalry, 40 Salander riders, 40 elite desert robbers, 70 desert robbers, no one was killed, Only a few dozen people were slightly injured, and it did not affect the following battle, all of which were skin injuries that did not require treatment."
"Very good." Kant then exhaled the stuffy breath in his chest.
This is his current true trump card.
The 5th-level cavalry trained before had no casualties, and the 4th-level cavalry was equally complete, which was enough.
Unexpectedly, the 40 elite desert robbers, as well as the 50 desert robbers that Kant won by lottery and the 20 desert robbers recruited by Xinzhou, were also killed in battle, which made him feel low due to the large number of casualties. Emotions are a little more surprising.
Although the desert robbers are also around level 3 cavalry.
But it is also a cavalry after all.
These light cavalry form a group, and with the heavy cavalry charging in concert, the crushing effect is still strong, and when dealing with emergencies, they can rush to it as soon as possible, and the heavy cavalry is much more flexible.
Look at the three across the long table.
Kant also spoke, nodded slightly, and said with a calm face: "At least, we won the victory."
"Yes." The three nodded in response.
With a force of around 800 troops against 3,000 gnoll warriors with at least level 5 infantry level, these tragic losses are also justified. After all, in terms of melee combat, these gnoll warriors are not those who are malnourished and weak. Compared with the inferior gnolls, they are completely slaughtering machines on the battlefield.
All of them are 2.3 meters tall and 300 jins in weight. Because they are well nourished, they are full of muscles.
With well-crafted chainmail, a two-handed battle axe made of all-iron.
This is why, as a level 4 infantry, and the Swadian infantry, which is known for its defensive power in the game, cannot withstand the crazy attacks of those gnolls, after all, the power of two-handed weapons can be extremely powerful. .
Similar to the troops of the Kingdom of Vicia, the moonblade axe most likes to equip.
However, the attack power and fighting experience of these gnoll warriors are comparable to that of the only 6th-level soldiers, known as the strongest and most invincible foot combat in the entire Calradia continent, Nord Royal Guards.
So far, Kant has concluded in his heart.
This battle, in real terms, was a fluke.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had destroyed the Gnoll Expeditionary Force and the pre-set supplies in the Naron Desert, it is estimated that the "Drehem" fortress would have already been conquered, and the sentry oasis would have been handed over.
Most importantly, he wiped out the lowly gnoll tribe.
Destroyed the well.
Let this expedition not only lose all its supplies, but also weakened by hunger and thirst, and they did not rush in front of the city when they attacked the city.
If it all existed.
The situation of the battle can be imagined by Kant.
The well-supplied Gnoll Expeditionary Force formed a spirited formation, as it is now, with 3,000 men lined up in 5 square formations.
And just ahead.
It is a queue of low-level gnolls who are chaotic, with 3,000 low-level gnolls in the tribe as their hearts, and 2,000 low-level gnolls from other areas of the desert to search and capture, more than 5,000 people, the start of howling The two gates of the "Drehem" fortress were attacked, and more and more corpses fell.
And those higher gnolls approached with their corpses raised as shields.
Then started to pile the corpses on the city wall, and quickly built up the slopes, enough for the expedition behind them to rush up the 5-meter-high city wall and enter the human fortress to start massacres.
The archers on the final wall will be wiped out.
The stubbornly resisting infantry and cavalry all retreated into the Consulate.
But by then, it will be too hard to support.
The result of the best luck is that Kant can only let the existing elite troops kill a **** path with his own life, and finally escape the fallen "Drehem" fortress with a few people. Looking unwillingly at the sentry oasis where black smoke was rising, he could only choose to return to the Principality of Lions and keep his name incognito, and perhaps still have the opportunity to borrow the temporary tasks of the system and make a comeback.
If you are unlucky, you will be chopped into meat sauce by the high-level gnolls that rushed up on the spot.
Kant is in awe.
This is indeed a fluke, fortunately, he disrupted all the previous arrangements of the Greymane Kingdom.
Intentionally or not.
It was Kant who finally won this victory.
Sentry Oasis.
Southern Narun Desert.
As the battle was completely brought under Kant's control.
"Continue cleaning the battlefield in the afternoon."
Kant calmed the ups and downs in his heart, looked at Fatis and Manid and said, "Report to me after all the statistics."
"Understood." The two nodded.
Lunch ends soon.
There is still a lot of chores waiting for them in the Sentinel Oasis.
Including the treatment of wounded soldiers and the burial of dead soldiers, both of them need to be present in person to arrange.
And Kant has more important things to deal with.
System settlement after the war.
As Manid complimented before, calling it an epic victory, for Kant, it is true, because the system has given the best judgment to prove the glorious achievement of winning this battle.
"I'm done eating."
Wiping the corners of his mouth, Kant put down his knife and fork.
After chatting a few more words with the three of them, they pushed away the chair, got up and left, returning to their room.
It's time for him to take care of things.
A dialog box pops up on the retina.
[Ding...system prompt]
【You defeat a powerful enemy with a weak force, which is a perfect total victory. ]
[This is an epic victory]
[You have gained 10 honor and 5000 reputation]
Kant's breathing is slightly short of breath.
But he's definitely not because of this dialog alone.
Just below, another dialog pops up.
[Ding...system prompt]
[The result of this battle was sent back to Calradia, causing a storm of discussion. ]
【This is a sub-legendary evaluation】
[You have gained 10 honor and 5000 reputation]
Look at the dialog on the retina.
With Kant's current good mental control ability, I feel a little dry mouth.
This is no ordinary reward.
Two ratings.
[Epic Victory] and [Legendary Rating]
The direct benefit is 20 points of honor ~IndoMTL.com~ and 10,000 reputation!
"Very good."
Kant sat on a chair in his room with a smile on his lips.
This is the real post-war benefit.
What can be dealt with today, then choose to deal with it today, Kant's creed.
The data stream in his eyes began to flicker, and his mind had communicated with the system, so he said solemnly: "System, open the lottery mall immediately, and directly perform 10 consecutive draws!"
Kant's tone is affirmative.
However, the system still pops up a dialog box to ask as usual.
[Ding...system prompt]
【10 consecutive draws will be rewarded with an additional draw】
[Yes/No now? ]
"Yes." Kant didn't hesitate.
The system responds.
On the retina in front of you, the dialog box refreshes.
The colorful treasure chest appeared there, and opened and closed faintly, releasing a little hidden colorful light, with that kind of beautiful light that penetrates the heart, as if to absorb all eyes.
It was exactly what Kant needed.
In other words, the system package that appears after this treasure chest is opened!
