Lord of the Oasis Chapter 65: .The returning troops

The night sky is full of stars.

By moonlight, Kant led his troops back to the ruins of the Gnoll tribe.

The temporary camp is still here. After Kant originally planned to exterminate the gnolls in the salt mine, he brought his troops back and waited for a rest and replenished fresh water before starting his return journey.

Arrange the sentry and replacement personnel, and everyone goes to sleep.

Despite the battle, they didn't have much time to rest.

It was dawn the next day.

The soldiers of Swadia woke up consciously, greeted each other groggyly, stretched their waists, and looked at Yu Bai on the edge of the sky in front of them, and their consciousness gradually recovered.

They all slept in armor last night.

When I woke up in the morning, my muscles were a little sore and sore.

But no one cares about that.

In the depths of the dangerous desert, you may encounter enemies at any time, take off your armor and sleep, you can only find your own way of death, if you encounter a surprise enemy, then if they want to quickly put on the armor, they will not easy.

For the sake of life, sleeping in armor is a wise and good choice.

Of course, the chainmail on the horse will be removed.

These delicate animals don't wear the chain mail that covers their whole bodies. This weight makes them sleep standing up all night, and it is estimated that they will not have the strength to pull out their hoofs stuck in the sand the next day.

"We're all busy, we're ready to go."

Someone is shouting, shouting Kant's orders to make everyone move.

Now, they have a lot more to do.

The temporary camp was quickly packed up and stacked on the three carriages that were brought.

Before the sky is bright, they have to set off quickly.

This is wisdom in the desert.

It is also an essential survival rule in the desert.

Being out at night is sometimes the key to survival.

When the water bladder is filled, this well with groundwater is quite easy to replenish with fresh water, and no matter how much water is drawn from the well, the water level will not drop too much, and it will be quickly replenished by groundwater.

This is also the reason why more than 2,000 gnolls can rely on this well to survive.

But now, Kant has an idea.

For him, this well is temporarily useless, and there is not much chance to use it in the future. After all, there is more water in the sentry oasis, and this well is just redundant.

It can even finance the enemy and replenish the enemy with fresh water.

"Fatis."

Kant turned his head and greeted his knight not far away.

"Lord Kant, are there any arrangements?" Fatis walked over quickly.

"Yes." Kant nodded, without concealing his thoughts, and said to him: "Is there a way to block this well? I don't want to wait for us to leave. Those gnolls took advantage of this well and instead called threat to us."

"That's right..."

Fatis was stunned: "But Lord Kant, we sent people to mine the salt mine, and we also need the well water here."

It takes a total of 2 days to travel from the Salt Mine to the Sentinel Oasis.

If you want to mine salt mines, you must be like gnolls, stationed in some of the salt mines, delivering food and water every day, or replacing overworked miners.

But it's just a 2-day journey, which is quite inconvenient for supplies.

The food is good to say, in the dry desert and storage, the most important thing is fresh water.

Miners are hard work.

It also deals with natural salt mines with extremely high salinity.

In addition to the temperature of the desert, it increases the daily share of fresh water required by miners.

It would be too unrealistic to rely solely on the transportation of the sentry oasis, so filling this well means that Kant must limit the number of miners in the future, otherwise the supply of fresh water will become a drag.

That's why the Phatis discouraged.

"Forget it." Kant sighed softly.

Turning his head to look at the gnoll tribe that burned to ashes, he said indifferently: "There are not many gnolls, dare to continue to come back here, even if we come back, we can still kill them."

"You are right, Lord Kant." Fatis nodded.

Now even if the heavy cavalry does not move, the 41 Swadian light infantry alone are enough to deal with 500 gnolls.

The armored infantry is still a battle-tested elite. It is really easy to deal with a group of primitive and low-level gnolls who only know how to rush up in a mess and have no tactics at all.

And most importantly.

It is estimated that those gnolls will turn their heads and run away in fright when they see Kant's troops now.

The courage in their hearts has been completely defeated, and it is not so easy to recover.

"Ready to go."

Kant waved forward, got on his horse, and started the return journey with the troops.

Fatis also followed closely on his horse.

This is the first time they have taken the initiative to attack other enemies. Those who stayed in the sentry oasis have no defensive force of their own. Only more than 30 construction workers are helping to look after the house.

According to Kant's calculation.

Two days later, it's the weekend, just in time to return to the Sentinel Oasis.

When the standard houses of Swadia are completed, those system workers from Suno will also be able to complete their tasks and leave and return to Calradia.

This is all in the plan.

The journey home was peaceful.

No gnoll encountered, no danger.

The speed of going back is also a lot faster.

Day and night.

By the afternoon of the second day, I could already see the green of the sentry oasis.

Hundreds of date palm trees on 2 acres of land are swaying their branches and leaves, and their green appearance seems to bring coolness in this sultry desert, adding a relaxing green.

They are finally back.

Everyone is a mess.

Almost rushed to march, and everyone did not rest well in the desert.

Try to come back as soon as possible.

And Kant stood on the sand dune, looking at the date palm trees on both sides of the spring at the bottom, and the neatly arranged houses, with relief and pride on his face, this is his village.

"Keep walking, everyone will be able to rest well when you go back!"

Fatis also opened his mouth, pursed his chapped lips, and loudly encouraged the morale of the soldiers: "We are home!"

"Hooray!"

Those soldiers cheered, their faces were tired, but their eyes were full of excitement.

The constant fighting and the long trek ~IndoMTL.com~ drained their stamina.

Even Kant sighed in his heart.

He understands that his own strength is far from enough. After watching this raid on the gnoll tribe, he knew that if it hadn't been for systematic help, it wouldn't be as easy as it is now.

300 people before departure.

When I came back, there were already less than 100 people.

Kant also had to sigh with emotion, the cruelty of war.

"However, the gain this time is enough to make up for the loss." Kant was calm.

41 Swadian Light Infantry.

46 Swadian heavy cavalry.

5 Sarandian riders.

This is the only soldier left, but whether it is the light infantry of the 3rd-level arms or the 4th-level cavalry, all of them are elites and cannot be compared with the previous recruits and militia.

At present, Kant's 92 soldiers can easily overwhelm the previous 300 troops.

This is just one of the rich fruits of victory.

Also 10,000 dinars, 1,000 reputation, and 10 honor.

Although the upgrade cost more than 2,000 dinars, there is still more than 8,000 dinars left, which is enough for Kant's current expenses.

But what caught his fancy the most was the 10 points of honor.

This represents Kant, who can randomly select 10 gift packs in the system mall!

Produced by the system, it must be a fine product.

As long as Kant's luck is not bad, then drawing anything is the most generous reward.

The current sentry oasis is like a child who continues to nourish.

All comers are welcome!
