Lord of the Oasis Chapter 38: .Golden lion on a red background
New temporary task.
Kant's face was solemn.
But the one with a more serious look was the Hobson Knight who had just arrived.
"2000 gnolls."
He frowned slightly, with solemnity in his eyes: "The difference is too much."
This is not 20 gnolls, nor 200 gnolls, but a total of 2,000 gnolls, a terrifying number that can directly drown and devour his 50 squire knights.
Judging from the situation, a head-to-head confrontation is a battle that must be lost.
Not optimistic.
"Is this some large gnoll tribe?"
Hank Scholar leaned on a cane and said next to him: "2000 gnolls, not just a small tribe can come together."
The old scholar has no military knowledge.
But in strategic analysis, there is still a scholar's mind.
"Yes." Kant nodded without concealing.
Thinking quickly, he also said truthfully: "There is a large gnoll tribe further north in the sentry oasis. There are at least 2,500 gnolls living in it. If you guess correctly, it is this group of damned things."
Absolutely they are.
The direction, the number, all proved to be this large gnoll tribe.
And it's all in full force.
The purpose is to completely wipe out the human power of Sentinel Oasis.
Revenge!
"We need careful tactics."
Knight Hobson was silent for a moment, and then said: "I try to defeat these gnolls at the least cost and reduce our casualties."
"Be careful." Hank Scholar nodded in agreement.
"Thank you very much."
Kant caressed his chest and bent over solemnly.
The two of them said so, it already means that they are really involved in this matter.
In fact, in the face of the attack of 2,000 gnolls, they can choose to evacuate, and they don't even need to consider Kant's opinion, because they have no responsibility to defend the territory and fief for Kant.
Their mission is to **** Hank Scholars on their expeditions in the Naron Desert.
"If the sentry oasis is captured, I think my expedition will come to an end."
Sighing softly, Scholar Hank smiled wryly.
And when he looked at Kant's tender and firm face, he also felt pity: "But I can't accept it. The apprentice I admire the most has lost his territory so simply."
The Hobson Knight also nodded: "And we are not without a chance of victory."
"Only go all out."
Kant nodded solemnly. Although he didn't say much, he had already remembered it.
This is the help in the snow.
Seeing Kant's expression, Hank Scholar and Hobson Knight also nodded secretly.
At least, they have a good impression of Kant.
"Arrange a battle plan."
Knight Hobson opened his mouth, looked at Kant and Hank Scholar and said, "This is a battle that cannot be lost."
They have confidence.
After all, 50 retinue knights are equal to 50 heavy cavalry.
Well-trained, well-equipped, and eager to fight.
Cooperating with the soldiers currently stationed in the sentry oasis, the number is close to 200. It is entirely possible to defeat these primitive and rude gnoll troops.
Because they are the troops of the civilized world.
It was proven ten years ago.
Around 2000, the troops of the Principality of Lions had already swept across the southern part of the main Nalen Desert.
And it's clearly documented in the literature.
In the southern part of the Nalen Desert, in the Sangwaya Mountains, there were more than a dozen large tribes with thousands of gnolls, not to mention the scattered small tribes of hundreds of people.
In the end, it was not completely swept away.
Of course.
For them, who are currently at a numerical disadvantage, how to win this battle requires careful deliberation.
Tactics need to be reasonable.
But since the enemy was approaching, their negotiation was quick.
Finally came to a conclusion.
"In this case, Baron Kant, your troops are guarding the oasis."
Knight Hobson said: "I lead the squire knights lurking on the back of the dunes, and when the battle situation is stalemate, I will charge, and try to use the shortest time to defeat the enemy into chaos."
"Yes, that's a good tactic."
Kant nodded approvingly.
He believed that his Swadian infantrymen would be fine to hold on to the streets of the village.
This is also what Kant promised to the Hobson Knight.
"I will stay here."
Hank Scholar also nodded lightly, and tapped the sandy soil under his feet with his cane: "Although I am old, I think I can still be useful in war."
Kant also nodded: "Mr. Hank, it's best for you to stay."
Outside is a **** battlefield of swords, lights, swords and shadows.
Hank Scholar is 61 years old. If he wants to endure such a high-intensity fight, it is estimated that it will cost him his life.
Out of respect for him, Kant pointed to his consulate and said, "Mr. Hank, that house is relatively safe, and you can rest there to relieve the fatigue caused by the long-day trek."
For Kant's cautiousness, Hobson Knight chuckled: "Then you really underestimate the Hank scholar."
"Don't worry about me." Hank Scholar also smiled and shook his head.
He clenched his cane tightly, and his seemingly dim yellow eyes also lit up: "Kant, when I followed Duke Cameron on the battlefield, you were not born yet."
"Is that so..." Kant wanted to comfort him a few words.
After all, looking at Hank Scholar's old appearance, a gust of wind can blow it away.
But at this moment, news came from the watchtower.
"Lord Kant, the enemy is approaching!"
The militiamen in charge of guarding the top of the tower stuck their heads out and shouted eagerly: "We are resting behind the dunes, organizing an attack formation, and we may launch an attack at any time. Please prepare tactically as soon as possible!"
The enemy is coming.
An army of 2,000 gnolls.
"Let's go." Hobson Knight led the way.
Fifty squire knights, clad in double mail and linen robes, roared and followed.
The galaxy is very bright.
The bright moonlight shines down.
In the eyes of the militiamen on the watchtower, behind the sand dunes to the northeast, dense gnolls are gathering.
Roars and howls spread throughout the desert.
Even in the sentry oasis, you can hear it clearly.
"Coming soon."
Scholar Hank frowned slightly, looking at the dunes to the northeast.
Familiar with various documents, he whispered to Kant: "As long as we can resist the first attack of these gnolls, we can say that we have half the victory."
"I understand." Kant nodded.
The gnolls of primitive tribes have no tactics at all.
He rushed up in a frenzy.
The messy retreat.
And as long as this first round of impact is blocked by the "Dehrim" infantry, the battle will be brought to an instant stalemate.
The Hobson Knights and 50 Retinue Knights can open the door to victory.
The charge of heavy cavalry has always been devastating.
Just as Kant used a strategy to throw those gnolls into chaos, and eventually led to a rout of the whole team and won the victory, the same is true this time.
The horror of the herd effect.
As long as there is a rout, for these gnolls who have not received tactical training, it is a complete rout.
"Ow—"
Appeared suddenly with a hoarse howl ~IndoMTL.com~ On the sand dunes, a strong gnoll was standing with a tomahawk in both hands.
"The Gnoll Chief."
Kant opened his mouth slowly, his mouth a little dry.
And just as the gnoll chief raised his two-handed tomahawk forward, the gnolls behind the dunes also raised their shoddy mace and launched a charge.
The ear-piercing howls characteristic of gnolls are heard incessantly.
Pair of green eyes, also with bloodthirsty desire in the dark night.
"Raise your weapons and meet our enemies!"
Kant took a deep breath, his expression extremely solemn.
He raised the flag in his hand high, the bright red background, the golden lion, was flying in the wind.
Deter the enemy!
The strongest trump card Kant currently has.
It is also his confidence in winning this battle.
"How could it be possible..."
Hank scholars all showed a look of surprise, staring blankly at the golden lion on a red background, and couldn't help muttering: "This flag...is a strange thing!"
Just when the gnolls rushed down.
After entering a certain distance, a mysterious aura instantly enveloped them.
As opposed to this.
The Swadian infantry stationed in the streets on both sides of "Dehrim" were invigorated.
The war begins!
