Lord of the Oasis Chapter 61: .Strange Gnoll
Squinting slightly, Kant's eyes were a little strange.
The gnolls belong to a despicable and inferior race, an uncivilized tribe that has no civilization. How can there be more than 30 standard combat soldiers wearing iron armor and holding two-handed tomahawks.
And looking at the layers of chain mail and the two-handed battle axe with cold light, it is obviously not an inferior product.
It was at least a few grades higher than the gnoll chiefs that Kant and the others had killed.
This is exactly what Kant doubts.
It's really strange that 30 gnoll chiefs have appeared in this salt mine.
"They found us."
Riding a war horse, Fatis looked at the group of gnolls below, and his right hand was already holding the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Kant also looked at him coldly.
But he didn't give any orders, his eyes swept across the group of gnolls, his eyes narrowed, but he frowned: "Look at these gnolls, is there a strange guy?"
"Strange guy?" Fatis frowned.
The gnolls below look very strange compared to the gnoll tribes that were killed before.
The ruthless and irrational gnoll actually carried a huge sack like a miner, bowing his head and acting under the scolding of his companions wearing chainmail and holding a two-handed tomahawk.
The weapon in his hand is not a common mace.
Rather, it is a thicker, longer pole weapon.
No, it shouldn't be counted as a weapon, it's just a tool made from a long wooden pole, similar to a rake, which is used to collect raw coarse salt at a glance.
But Fatis's eyes narrowed slightly.
He did spot some strange... gnoll.
"That's right, that's the one." Kant said in a calm tone.
Fatis has no interface. He knows his lord, and he hasn't finished speaking yet.
"Let me take a closer look, um, in a linen robe."
Kant continued to speak, his tone still calm: "It still looks like fine silk linen. The style and material, based on the color, should be similar to the linen robe used for sunshade in my room."
"Yeah, very similar." Fatis nodded.
Kant chuckled and asked lightly, "Fatis, do you think this is strange?"
"Very strange," Fatis replied.
"I think it's weird too."
Kant squinted: "A group of lowly and lowly gnolls, wearing chain mail and holding two-handed tomahawks in their hands, this is actually nothing, but why would there be a gnoll dressed decently?"
"Like us," Fatis said, cutting into the point.
"Yeah." Kant lowered his head and chuckled: "The main thing is that they also occupied my salt mine." When he raised his head, his eyes were already filled with murderous intent: "Leaded by Fatis, Swadia The heavy cavalry is well prepared."
Although the voice was not loud, it was Kant's order.
"Understood." Fatis replied in a deep voice.
The 46 Swadian heavy cavalry behind them, who were already ready, were already in two rows on the dunes.
The weight of the armored steeds and the fully armored riders sinks their hooves into the tops of the dunes, but the soft sand cannot hinder their charge, nor can they be the protection of the gnolls.
At the same time, Kant stretched out his hand and handed the [Deterrence of the Enemy] to Fatis.
"You can use this." Kant said.
"Thank you very much, Lord Kant." Fatis nodded, and without refusing, he directly stretched out his hand to take the mighty banner of the golden lion on a red background. This is called making the best use of everything.
The 500-meter range isn't actually that big.
Kant stood on the dune, waiting for Fatis to charge down with the Swadian heavy cavalry, and the area of influence was close to the border.
In order to win, Phatis will not refuse.
At the same time, on Kant's retina, the system dialog box popped up.
[Ding… Temporary task release]
【Temporary Mission: Capture the Salt Mine】
[Quest Reward: Dromedary × 10 Heads]
[Introduction: This is the saline-alkali land formed by the drying up of the lake. The precious materials bestowed on the desert by God are also precious treasures bestowed on you. Now you plan to seize it in the hands of the gnolls. ]
Sure enough, it is a temporary task of the system.
Kant is already familiar with this task, and it feels like a task that is linked together.
There is a professional term, running ring.
Shaking his head slightly, Kant couldn't help but chuckle. Whatever, as long as he can get a reward, everything is fine.
My current self is still too weak.
The sound of fighting came.
Kant looks down at the edge of the salt mine at the bottom of the dune.
30 gnolls in chain armor, trying to block 46 heavy cavalry with man and horse in full armor, was like a mantis blocking a car, easily pierced by a 3-meter long spear, and stabbed in unison Died on saline ground.
The standard equipment of the Swadian heavy cavalry is not only the chain armor worn all over the body, but also the sharp 3-meter spear when charging.
After dealing with the armored gnolls, the gnolls holding the long wooden poles did not dare to resist.
[The power of deterring the enemy] radiates a circle of waves.
Fear and cowardice appeared in the hearts of these gnolls, causing their morale to collapse, turning around and running away.
But soon, all the scattered heavy cavalry were stabbed to death on the sand.
"Let's go."
Kant spoke, and the horse slowly walked down the hill.
The Swadian light infantrymen behind him, holding fan-shaped shields and Germanic swords, were cautiously guarding him, striding away and following him with quick steps.
[Ding...Through your unremitting efforts, the enemy was defeated. ]
[Temporary mission: "Capturing the Salt Mine" completed. ]
[Reward: Dromedary Camel × 10 Heads]
【Introduction: Salt is an indispensable condiment in life, but it is also a luxury only owned by aristocratic banquets. This white flower material represents the wealth that makes people smoke. Now it belongs to you. ]
The system dialog box pops up.
Kant scans the introduction on his retina, and the card representing the 10 dromedary came to mind.
This reward is good.
Kant expressed his gratification, after all, the most efficient means of transportation in the desert, or the most trustworthy means of carrying goods, are these camels known as the ships of the desert.
Especially these dromedary camels.
On Earth, these dromedary camels are used as freight vehicles, making great contributions to the caravan crossing the vast sandy sea.
The desert denies the survival of many livestock.
But not for camels.
Thirst resistance, heat resistance, cold resistance, and ability to withstand sandstorms are all advantages of camels.
For Kant, with the existence of these 10 camels, it will be more convenient to transport goods in the desert in the future. Compared with the horses and carriages that are more suitable for the plains, it is much stronger.
Walk down the dunes.
Kant rode on.
The edge of the saline-alkali land still smells of blood.
It was the heavy cavalry that came from the surrounding horses, and they all splashed a lot of blood~IndoMTL.com~ They charged on the sand dunes and directly killed the 30 gnolls who dared to resist. The blood is not filthy, On the contrary, it is a medal to be proud of.
But Kant didn't speak.
Five Swadian heavy cavalry on foot approached, followed by Phatis.
"Lord Kant, capture it alive." Fatis reported.
Kant tilted his head slightly.
The strange gnoll I saw on the dunes before was walking behind Fatis with his head down.
The action is very honest, unlike the gnolls that Kant had captured before.
Perhaps this is due to the fact that the five heavy cavalrymen who followed on foot have taken off the mace hanging from their waists, and they can hold it in their hands at any time at the head of this gnoll, smashing the brain to burst related.
"Good job."
Kant praised Fatis.
Then looking at the gnoll wearing a linen robe and behaving strangely, he asked with a little interest, "Hey, do you understand the common language of mankind?"
"Of course." The gnoll in front of him raised his head slightly, then lowered his head: "I understand a little bit."
PS: I'm going to ask for a recommendation ticket, it's free anyway. In other words, the strange things that have been absorbed before will be spit out by the system, and there is also a lottery draw... But, um, Shurima's idea, you guessed it right...
