Lord of the Oasis Chapter 290: .The caravan returned in horror
Yes, these businessmen really can't figure it out.
The main force formed by the rampant knights and servants was completely wiped out in front of the eyes, turning into corpses all over the ground, and sad prisoners who were trampled on their dignity and beaten indiscriminately.
They don't know, this is the mature tactical system of Calradia.
A cavalry corps composed of a group of knightly squires.
When forming a dense traditional charge formation, the effect of the attack is also the greatest!
For example, the kingdom of Swadia suffered such a loss.
Because Swadia's traditional iron cavalry combat tactics are like this. Once on the plains, it was almost invincible with infantry and crossbowmen, and it destroyed all enemies invincible.
But it suffered a big loss on the Kujit grassland.
Lightly armed Khudge bows lure and strike, keeping traditional cavalry in disarray in pursuit squadrons.
And just when the formation could not be restored and had completely dissipated, the final attack came.
The kujit rider in charge of melee combat appears.
Densely lined up in traditional charge formations, they easily defeated the scattered cavalry teams. In this tactical game of chasing and being chased, they became the winner and killed the irresistible individual cavalry. Fragmented.
Even if there are cavalrymen who can escape, they can't escape the cavalry archers who are dressed in light clothes and make quick arrows.
The side-by-side push mode is not entirely suitable for such a wide area.
Not to mention the arrogance of these 600 knight attendants.
It's doomed!
"Boys, tie them all up and put away the spoils!"
Rolf shouted, and let the desert robbers jump off the desert horses, throwing these weapons away with flax ropes, and all the knights and servants who held their heads in their hands and held them captive.
Innumerable weapons and armor were seized, and warhorses, including dead corpses, were gathered.
Weapons, armor and live warhorses can be kept and sold.
As for the dead horse corpses, they can be used as rations for these captives in recent days, or they can be smeared with salt and made into air-dried meat in the shade, which can be eaten as supplies.
Eating horse meat is actually not a big psychological burden for them.
You can eat anything alive.
The brutal battle situation in Calradia, this group of soldiers who have been trained is as terrifying as a butcher.
Including those corpses that were turned into hedgehogs by short javelins, strung into candied haws by long spears, covered in blood, and had an extremely strong smell of blood. They restrained themselves without the slightest discomfort, and casually placed them in long rows and threw them aside.
As for my short javelin, this is a standard weapon that cannot be given up.
As long as they look good, they are all pulled out of the corpse, wiped with a linen cloth at will, and put back in the rucksack.
As for tainted blood and the like, I don't care.
The big deal is to go back and take a good shower.
Seeing that the battle is settled, the desert robbers are also responsible for cleaning the battlefield. After Rolfe's arrangement, he returned with all the Salander riders, all of them in high spirits, looking like they had returned in triumph.
There is no way to argue that they were victors.
The entire station was silent inside and out.
It was as if Rolfe and the others were disturbed and feared that they would be severely punished.
The caravan guards and helpers who were still watching the battle in a panic and were ready to escape at any time, now subconsciously stopped their work and stared blankly at Rolf and the others who returned triumphantly. with fear.
This is a fear that didn't exist in the first place.
Originally, they only had the fear of Rolfe's daring to kill people, but there is absolutely no awe today!
The honor brought by the victor.
The garden is full of food and color: the farm cook
Even on the top of the station, the eyes of the businessmen who were staring blankly at all of this had already shown respect and surprise, especially when they looked at Kant, they thought of the information they had heard before, and they all thought about it. Thoughts.
They can see from the beginning to the end at the top of the inn.
See clearly how to win and how to defeat the enemy.
At the same time, subconsciously, he looked at the 10 Swadian Royal Knights left beside Kant.
He turned his head to look at the stairwell, and the three royal knights with blood on their bodies who were following Rolfe hurried up, swallowed and spit, a humble and submissive smile suddenly appeared on their faces.
These men may be great knights with extraordinary powers.
Although it is guessed that it is impossible for everyone to grasp it, but the three people really grasp it, but it is certain!
They are just a bunch of businessmen.
It is still the first to explore the way, and belongs to the merchant of the abandoned sub-level.
The reason I can come here now is because of the proximity and the ability to respond quickly, so I was dispatched by various nobles to trade with Kant. Even if there is an accident, I will not feel distressed.
So they understand that their so-called backers are not so reliable.
To Kant, to Rolfe, to these three extraordinary knights, it is right to maintain the deepest deference.
This is their survival law.
It's just that these businessmen can't imagine that the 13 Swadian royal knights in front of them are really great knights who have mastered extraordinary power, and they are the pinnacle of the level of the great knights, and even if Kant thinks, they can even be conferred. There are more royal knights than the entire Duchy of Lions and the entire Duchy of Silver Plate combined!
Maybe they saw that the equipment of these royal knights was standard plate armor, and they already had a little guess in their hearts, but this guess would not be taken seriously, they just gave up after going through it in their minds.
After all, the 13 extraordinary knights are enough to control the political situation of the Principality of Lions.
If this Baron Kant really exists.
Why should I be exiled to the harsh Nalen Desert, knowing that no salt mines were discovered at that time!
Their minds run wild.
But the humility and submissiveness on his face is more intense.
Kant swayed the sugar water in the silver cup, still turned his back to them, and said lightly: "It's over."
"Yes, it's over."
Rolfe first reported: "The enemy killed 284 and captured 316."
"Very well, what about our losses?" Kant asked.
"No one on our side was killed, only a few people were seriously injured, and they will recover after treatment," Rolfe replied.
"Hmm." Kant nodded.
The dialogue is terminated, and it is only a simple report of the results.
But the businessmen behind them all swallowed subconsciously and looked at each other with horror in their eyes.
Seeing is one thing, hearing is another.
They saw Rolfe crushing those knights and servants, but they didn't expect that they didn't even have any dead cavalry, so they easily won such a victory. It was a big victory, an epic victory!
It doesn't fit their original point of view at all.
But it happened.
An epic victory is not, but a big one.
If it really was an epic victory, Kant would have earned the honor and prestige it deserved.
After all, with the development of Kant, the epic victory achieved by winning more with less will become more and more difficult to obtain, unless it reaches tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of large-scale corps battles, millions of people A group of corps fights, and after a big victory, you may get an epic victory evaluation.
But for now, it's a bit more difficult.
Of course Kant doesn't care, as long as the victory is right, this is already a good result. Physician
Turn around slightly.
Kant finally turned around and looked at these businessmen with different expressions, but they were all bowed down.
A mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Everyone, what do you think of this banquet?"
The merchants looked at each other.
But then they all reacted.
"Lord Baron, you are so powerful, how could you possibly be your opponent just with those horse thieves!"
"It was an excellent banquet, Lord Baron, you have made us admire you!"
The merchants bowed and praised.
But Kant sneered. He didn't have the slightest cold about this kind of flattery. Instead, he looked at these businessmen and said lightly: "Then, shall we continue to stipulate how to divide the salt trade in the future? "
"No need! No need! Lord Baron! No need! It's all up to you!"
"Lord Baron, whatever you say, we're just waiting for the assignment!"
These businessmen are in a cold sweat.
His face and back were soaked, and he couldn't help bending over to Kant, trembling.
Obviously, they also realized that their dissent at the time seemed extremely ridiculous now, especially since Rolfe, who had returned with the might of a great victory, was looking at them coldly with a machete, and was even more timid in his heart.
"Huh." Kant chuckled, his face full of mockery.
But without saying much, he waved his hand to Rolf and arranged: "Each bag of fine white salt is 100 large silver coins. If you pay with golden eagles, then according to the black market price, 150 large silver coins will be exchanged for 1 golden eagle. I I don't want these businessmen to think I'm a miserly miser."
"Understood, who would think that Lord Kant would be a miserly miser?" Rolfe nodded, while looking at these businessmen coldly, with an almost hideous smile: "Do you think so?"
"Yes yes! Lord Baron is absolutely merciful!"
The merchants bowed their heads and saluted, cold sweat pouring down their faces.
In the passive position, they have no right to refute in the slightest.
Never dare.
"It's over to you, Rolf."
Kant took the royal knights directly, first walked down the stairs, and returned to his room on the second floor.
When he leaves, these businessmen dare to go downstairs to prepare golden eagles and big silver coins.
Rolfe was sitting at the long table in the lobby on the first floor, watching these merchants dragging bags of large silver coins and golden eagles over together. More than 30 merchants easily divided the 400 bags of fine silver.
In order to show their obedience, they also gave Kant a few carts of supplies they brought in vain.
It's all gadgets.
Iron, farm implements, furs and the like ~IndoMTL.com~ are not worth much.
Profit equals useless waste compared to salt!
Actually, it's also the reason why these businessmen dare not stay for a long time. After all, they have just experienced a brutal battle. These businessmen have been scared out of their courage. They should go back to their own sites as soon as possible and see their backers in order to feel comfortable. alive.
Otherwise, encountering a group of horse thieves or a gang of robbers raised by rival nobles could be life-threatening.
It is the nature of businessmen to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Soon the central station will be calm again.
All the merchants left, and only the desert robbers who had cleaned the battlefield came back. After a short rest, they continued to disperse into squads of patrolling cavalry to patrol the surrounding desert.
It's just the nobles behind the businessmen who are destined to be unable to calm down.
Kant wields such force.
It was totally unexpected!
