Lord of the Oasis Chapter 312: .The baron who became a puppet
Baron Dylan's heart is dead.
He felt that he was facing despair that he had never had before. It was a despair that came from the bottom of his heart and could not be resisted, let alone resisted, a despair that could devour all his hopes!
50 knights with extraordinary powers.
18 mages who master elemental arcana.
This is terrifying enough to shake the power of a nation!
At this time, the two large knights from the East County Command, who had been disarmed and were detained like prisoners, all sat on the chairs in the corner with their faces in despair, and watched in stunned cavalry as they came in one after another, reporting The result of the battle was ashes as he heard his mercenary group completely collapsed and fled.
This mercenary group of thousands of people, although nominally recruited by Baron Dylan, is actually inextricably linked with the East County Territory, and the two of them are the real high-level commanders.
Now, the mercenary group collapses.
It can represent that the East County Leader tried to use Baron Dylan's strategy to enter the Naron Desert and directly declared bankruptcy.
The two of them looked at each other subconsciously.
Both saw the fear and anxiety in each other's eyes.
And bitterness.
If they knew that the lord Kant of the Naron desert was so terrifying, how could they attack so recklessly, and it would not be so simple to have a deadlock with this lord.
Now, there has been a rift, and the relationship has become as rigid as a confrontation.
It is impossible for both parties to shake hands and make peace.
Although there are no permanent friends, there are permanent enemies.
Especially when oneself is invaded and violated, the hatred of this enemy is even greater.
At least these two great knights don't think that in the current situation, Kant has absolute high-end force, and the regular troops with a high level of elites will remain friendly with them when they already have an advantage.
The strong and the weak cannot be friends, this is the difference between class and level!
Country to country, power to power!
Look at Baron Dylan next to him, the lord of the Stone Pass, who has given up his previous restraint and arrogance, and is completely respectful and obedient, you know that he has chosen to surrender.
He ditched the Eastern Commander in favor of Kant.
Or coerced into doing so.
The Stone Pass was once a barren mountain pass. Not only did it not have much reclamation value, but it was also threatened by the demonized creatures of the Sangwaya Mountains and the gnolls in the Nalun Desert. These creatures are the most backward. territory.
Even a noble or a knight with some knowledge would not choose this place.
But now it's different.
The Stone Pass happens to be the crucial and only way to get in and out of the Narun Desert.
If you want to carry out the highly lucrative salt trade, then the Stone Pass is an unavoidable link, even if it is bypassed, it is actually bypassed on the mountain path around the Stone Pass.
You can usually ignore it, but as long as you are serious and ordinary, you can't get around it at all!
That's why the lord of the East County courted Baron Dylan.
Because only by controlling the Stone Pass, can you control the Naron Desert and the Sentinel Oasis, and control the salt trade, and even use this pass to intimidate Kant.
The idea is very good, the plan is also very thorough, and if it is successful, it must be perfect.
Unfortunately, it didn't work.
In the face of the absolute force possessed by Kant, all this is like a joke!
Everyone has been caught.
Both Baron Dylan and his vassal knights.
Or the two great knights from East County, as well as a large number of mercenaries.
All chose to surrender.
They have no faith to die.
I don't want to die in such humiliation in the barren desert.
Surrender is the only option.
The elite desert robbers and Salander riders brought back all the mercenaries who had fled, but there were still those who tried to resist and escape, turned into corpses by machetes and fell on the road.
Like a road sign, but it looks extremely miserable.
Severely wounded were not treated.
The elite desert robbers have no plans to heal them either.
Raise the spear in his hand, aim it at his throat or chest, and stab deeply. As blood comes out, his body twitches to end this sad and tragic life.
The mercenaries deserve no sympathy, especially since they are invaders trying to invade Sentinel Oasis.
Stacks of weapons and armor are thrown around the tent.
A lot of supplies have been collected.
And these are just the mercenaries who put on linen burqas, half-squatting and half-kneeling on the ground, sluggishly watching the surrounding desert robbers pass by, holding machetes and spears in their hands, patrolling intimidating They have become captives.
The surviving people were counted and there were 724 people.
No more than one-third were killed.
This is still in the process of escaping, and there are factors of slashing and killing each other and being seriously injured.
In fact, when nearly 100 people were killed in battle, the formation of these mercenaries began to collapse. As the number of casualties increased, even if there was no follow-up pursuit, they would flee in panic because of the herd effect.
Rolfe watched over them, shaking his head sarcastically at the captives.
A bunch of gutless cowards.
Fatis returned to the inn hall and finally reported the results to Kant: "Sir, the battle is over."
"Hmm."
Kant nodded calmly.
The outcome of this battle was exactly what he expected.
However, he still looked up at Fatis and asked, "How about our casualties?"
"Only dozens of people were slightly injured." Fatis replied: "No one was killed."
"Very good." Kant was satisfied.
Baron Dylan and the 30 knights who also surrendered, as well as the 2 big knights, suddenly looked up at Fatis and Kant with disbelief.
A battle with zero casualties, this result is simply unacceptable to them!
But it is.
The corners of Fatis' mouth are slightly raised, with a bit of disdain: "Our enemy is weaker than those gnolls."
Baron Dylan bows his head.
Those knights and great knights also smiled bitterly.
That is the truth.
They are now defeated, indeed the same as the gnolls.
But Kant understands that Fatis is talking about the high-level gnolls of the Greymane Kingdom. They can break out **** sieges even when they run out of fuel. How could these people only recognize money and have no professional ethics. Can a mercenary at all be compared?
What Fatis said is absolutely correct, these mercenaries are really weaker than those gnolls!
It just has a certain effect.
Kant turns his head.
Baron Dylan seemed to notice something and quickly lowered his head and said respectfully, "Lord Kant, do you have any instructions? I completely obey your orders." His attitude was extremely humble and submissive, and he was never seen again The arrogance of the past.
This is what Kant wants, because he wants to go further.
For example...
Master Stone Pass!
Kant spoke with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Baron Dylan, I think it's been a long time since you visited my territory recently. Are you considering returning?"
"With all due respect." Baron Dylan stood up, bowed his head.
Just clasped hands.
He understood that Kant meant to make him a puppet.
"That's good."
Kant was very satisfied with his attitude: "Just go back today."
"Yes," Baron Dylan replied.
But there was a bit of bitterness in his tone.
Originally came to the sentry oasis, he wanted Kant to become a puppet, or to replace it, but he did not expect that the final result would turn out to be himself a puppet, or the puppet of Kant who had always looked down upon and despised all the time!
This change made him tremble in his heart, but he didn't dare to express a resentment in his heart.
I dare not speak out.
But even if he was angry, Kant would not give him this chance.
The weak should understand why they are weak. Since they are defeated, they should be puppets with peace of mind.
"There may be danger on the way back."
Kant turned his head, looked at the lion knights next to him, and arranged: "I will send 10 great knights to **** Baron Dylan back. In order to ensure safety, I will also send 120 cavalry and 500 infantry over."
"You are... so considerate." Baron Dylan raised his head, his eyes were stunned and desperate, but he couldn't say anything. In the end, he could only bow his head sullenly. The prime-timer in his forties was like an old man in his sixties. Like decadence.
This is the garrison.
Kant's direct reach over Stone Pass.
10 great knights, 120 cavalry, 500 infantry, it is estimated that it is possible to destroy the Stone Pass, and the mere control of the place, for Baron Dylan, who has lost his high-end combat power and only has himself, Can't resist at all.
As for the so-called territorial armed forces, with those militias and pikemen?
It's funny.
Even a mercenary group that could hold the name of a few elites has been defeated so miserably and completely. The so-called territorial armed forces, a group of peasants and militiamen, and a few free people armed forces are simply cannon fodder to deliver vegetables!
Kant didn't explain it to Baron Dylan, and doesn't need it now.
Stand up and scan the window.
The troops have regrouped and are awaiting his next order.
Kant turned his head and arranged to Fatis: "That's it, you go to the Stone Pass temporarily, **** Baron Dylan, and if you can, help the Stone Pass to deal with some minor problems, after all, it is a little messy now, not necessarily there Any band of thieves can appear near the pass, and it needs to be guarded."
"Yes." Fatis nodded, using his ability to go to the Stone Pass to actually sit in town, without the slightest problem.
Baron Dylan also bowed: "I respect your arrangement."
"That's it."
Kant nodded, stood up and said: "Fatis, take your troops now, and go back with our Baron Dylan, remember ~IndoMTL.com~ must ensure the safety of Baron Dylan and Stone Pass. ."
"Yes!" Fatis glanced at Baron Dylan next to him. Although his face was calm, his eyes were decisive.
If something goes wrong, he won't stay.
"Okay." Baron Dylan bowed again respectfully.
The troops will soon be ready to go.
10 Sarion Lion Knights, 100 Swadian Knights, and 500 Swadian Infantrymen who have been secretly upgraded by Kant from light infantry to a higher level, belonging to the 4th class!
Better weapons, better armor, better armor, and better combat abilities.
These 611 men had no problem holding Stone Pass.
What's more, the 10 great knights with extraordinary power alone cannot compete with ordinary troops!
This is Kant's first step in attacking the Principality of Lions.
