Lord of the Oasis Chapter 37: .Perseverance in Adversity
Knight Hobson chuckled: "This is an expedition funded by Duke Cameron."
He sensed Kant's thoughts and explained: "The Hank Scholar is one of the famous scholars in the Principality of the Lion, and he has come to certain conclusions about the Lost City, so Duke Cameron is willing to sponsor the Hank Scholar. , complete this field trip.”
"This is a trip that will surely pay off."
Scholar Hank nodded and said solemnly: "I once obtained an old manuscript, which has a connection with the Lost City."
"Huh?" Kant was stunned.
He thought of the ancient manuscript that he was in charge of half a year before his departure at the academy.
I couldn't help but asked: "What are you talking about, the manuscript?"
"That's right."
Scholar Hank nodded: "That's the manuscript."
After a brief pause, his old face was also filled with joy: "Thanks to you arranging the information, I finally deciphered the text inside, and there is also the most important sentence about the lost city. "
"Really?"
Kant looked at Scholar Hank with a dignified look.
Even the Hobson Knight next to him, and the captain Rowan who followed behind, who dared not speak much, all subconsciously looked at this old scholar who was famous in the Lion Principality.
"When the sun rises again, the golden city will bloom again."
With a solemn expression, Hank Scholar spoke slowly, with a slow tone, just enough for everyone to hear.
It seems to touch the soul.
Because this is a prophecy-like word.
The Hank scholar paused slightly and added: "This is recorded in the ancient manuscript. After I deciphered it, I am quite sure that the golden holy city mentioned above represents the lost city."
"It's really... shocking."
Knight Hobson sighed softly. He had considerable literary accomplishment and naturally heard the stalwart in this sentence.
As for the cavalry captain Rowan, he didn't dare to say anything at this time.
His status is not comparable to the three in front of him.
"It's really shocking."
Kant nodded, even if he heard this sentence, he felt a shock.
Looking at the old Hank scholar, Kant also sighed softly: "Mr. Hank, maybe you can really find something."
"Yes."
The Hank Scholar grins.
Of course he knew what Kant's sigh was, but he didn't explain it either.
For the old man, what he can find is another matter. The most important thing is that he has to come and see for himself, even at the risk of his life and the ridicule of his colleagues. is failed.
"Woo-"
But at this moment, in the sentry oasis behind him, the long horn sounded suddenly.
The 17 desert robbers turned their heads suddenly.
And Kant's face is also stiff, subconsciously said: "Not good."
"Baron Kant, are you in trouble?"
Knight Hobson also frowned, looking at Kant's somewhat embarrassed face, he couldn't help asking: "This horn seems to be very urgent."
Horns are naturally used to convey information.
This is also common in lion duchies.
"That's right."
Kant nodded and said solemnly: "There are enemies, and there are a lot of them."
He said briefly.
In fact, even Kant doesn't know how many enemies have come.
But according to the system introduction, and the horn on the watchtower is so fast, it must be indispensable.
"Gnoll?"
Cavalry captain Rowan couldn't help but blurt out at this time.
He, who once fought side by side with Kant, naturally knew that the oases of sentry that had changed drastically in front of him were actually captured by them from a certain gnoll tribe.
"It should be about the same."
Scholar Hank also nodded and said, "Gnolls have lived in the Naron Desert since ancient times."
Knight Hobson smiled: "If it's a gnoll, I think it might help."
The retinue knights he followed behind had a size of 50 heavy cavalry. Even in the battle sequence of the Principality of Lions, they were the absolute main force, and they were more than enough to deal with primitive gnolls.
"Thank you so much, Hobson Knight."
Kant's heart moved slightly, the system task was to ask them to form a coalition.
A verbal agreement has now been reached.
From the point of view of the system, the temporary task has been completed.
[Ding...Through your unremitting efforts, the temporary task has been completed]
[Temporary mission: "Complete the formation of a coalition"]
[Reward: Arrow rain coverage (500 Vicia marksmen) × 3 waves]
[Introduction: You have reached a pact with the elite troops, which improves the chances of overcoming this difficulty. But remember, covenants are never reliable, only yourself can be trusted. ]
On Retina, a dialog appears.
And in Kant's mind, a golden card is also floating, as if waiting to be stimulated.
There are countless figures painted on it, and they seem to be holding bows and arrows, and they are shooting forward. Referring to the description of the so-called "Arrow Rain Covering", Kant also roughly understands the meaning.
"Three salvos of 500 Vicia marksmen?"
Licking the corner of his mouth, Kant's eyes were firm: "This is very good."
The Wikia marksman, one of the two most powerful units in the system.
The other is a Rhodok sniper, a terrifying crossbowman with a very long range and high power.
The Wikia marksman is an archer with an extremely fast rate of fire and a very long range. It can be called a defensive machine gun. It occupies a certain shooting position. As long as there are enough feather arrows, the enemy can see what cruelty is.
And after the scale, the overwhelming arrow rain coverage is also the essence of this unit.
Even the Swadian knights, the king of land battles who are stuffed with their horses and men in tin cans, have to pay a certain price to get close to the large-scale Vicia marksmen before they can completely wipe them out. .
"Come to my fief village."
Kant said to the Hobson Knight and Hank Scholar in front of him: "Although it is small, it is at least a defensive place."
"That's it." Hobson Knight nodded.
The 50 squire knights behind him also approached.
These are all reserve knights. If they can achieve military exploits or possess extraordinary strength, they will become enviable knights and become the cornerstone of the noble class.
Everyone leaves the dunes and returns to the sentry oasis.
Those infantrymen were still a little stunned.
The enemy who was waiting for him before has become an allied army.
But when I think about it carefully, I can't help but laugh. This may be caused by a misunderstanding in intelligence.
However, the real enemy has really come.
The militiamen on the watchtower came down quickly, their faces solemn.
He walked quickly to Kant and reported: "Lord Kant, a large-scale gnoll has been found in the northeast ~IndoMTL.com~ The preliminary estimate is that the number can reach 2,000, and the traveling speed is very fast. It is predicted that it will arrive at the sentry oasis in 20 minutes. ."
"2000 gnolls?"
Kant frowned slightly, and there was a bit of dryness in his mouth.
This number is a bit surprising.
Even the Hobsonian Knight and the Hank Scholar who came by with a cane had a serious look on their faces.
So many gnolls have changed qualitatively.
Even 50 squire knights belonging to the heavy cavalry could not easily pierce the formation of these gnolls.
And the most reasonable tactic at this time is to evade.
But for Kant, the gnoll who came directly to his sentry oasis is definitely not a problem of avoidance, because once he chooses to avoid, it means that the oasis is occupied by the gnoll.
And his Dehrim.
This is his fief village.
represents loss, he will have nothing.
[Ding… Temporary task release]
[Temporary Mission: Perseverance in Adversity]
[Reward: Dinar × 1000, Prestige × 500, Honor × 1]
[Introduction: The dark sky, the tragic battle. Whether you can defend your village depends on your persistence. Believe in yourself, the hardest perseverance will work wonders. ]
Right on Kant's retina, the dialog reappears.
But this is precisely the new temporary task.
