Lord of the Oasis

"Call-"

Kandler tightened the reins, and the warhorse under his crotch finally slowed down in the charging gallop.

The Salander riders and desert robbers beside him also reined in their horses to reduce their speed, and leaned around Kant, with their trembling right hands clenching the machete, their faces extremely cold.

They have just experienced a round of charge, and they will overwhelm the enemies who dare to stand in front of them.

Even now.

These gangsters from the Sarand desert are a little unbelievable.

They don't even understand how these gnoll heavy infantry soldiers have the confidence to dare to face them, who belong to the spear cavalry, and have already entered the peak stage of the charge.

Even if it is scattered, it is impossible to charge in the first round, and it will be completely destroyed like this.

It also caused their right hands to tremble now.

Not because of excitement, nor because of fear, but the instant reaction force that appeared when they contacted the gnoll heavy infantry when charging with a gun, causing their right and right arms, which have been trained in charge, to suffer a lot of impact. .

If it is completely restored, it is estimated that it will take two or three days.

If you want to continue a charge of this scale and intensity, although it is possible, it will cause irreversible damage to the arm.

Fortunately, this battle has come to an end.

"ended."

Kant's voice sounded, with a little tiredness.

Lu traveled here and charged directly without taking a break, which really consumed a lot of their physical strength.

More than thirty gnolls who dared to resist were killed on the spot.

The more than 300 low-level gnolls around them turned into scattered soldiers, and they disappeared into the surrounding sandy sea without even daring to resist. It seems that they were severely traumatized. May be organized to counterattack.

In fact, no gnoll organized a counterattack.

No gnoll would be impatient to live, even these ruthless and uncivilized lowly gnolls.

They all know how to be afraid.

"Lord Kant, do you still need to hunt them down?"

The Salander rider beside him spoke up.

The surrounding Sarand riders were also eager to try, their eyes swept across the surrounding sand dunes, with undisguised excitement and naked killing intent in their eyes, because they felt that they had reached a certain critical point.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change, which can be regarded as the critical point of rebirth.

But Kant denied their request to pursue: "No need."

Slowly exhaling a sullen breath, Kant commanded in a deep voice: "Let our camel team come over, and rest here first in the Anza temporary camp. These fleeing gnolls can't escape our horses, I don't want any accidents. "

"Understood." Some desert robbers nodded, and immediately drove their horses towards the dunes when they were charging.

As they charged, they left behind a caravan and peasants.

These dromedary camels loaded with supplies, and the peasants with only scythes, are not heroic and invincible cavalry on the battlefield, let alone the warriors facing high-level gnolls, even the lower-level gnolls with mace. Not that they can compete.

Kant no longer needs to let the lower infantry fight with their lives to create the future.

These light cavalry soldiers from Sarand were enough to deal with most problems.

Soon, the 10 peasants who were hiding behind the dunes were holding scythes in their arms and walking down with the 10 dromedary camels at the same time, with beaming faces, obviously knowing the victory of the battle.

"Put up the tent."

Kant looked at the surrounding open space, and at the same time instructed meticulously: "Go and see the well, I hope there is no problem."

"Understood." The accompanying peasants acted immediately.

The elite desert robbers also dismounted consciously, and they all helped to set up the tent together. At the same time, they also found a temporary stove, started a fire and started preparing food. They haven't eaten breakfast yet, and their stomachs are hungry.

As for those Salander riders, they were responsible for cleaning the battlefield.

Even without Kant's arrangement, they can do it in good order.

The tent is set up.

The sand pit inside has also been dug.

The ready-made tent was lit, the wood brought in was added, and the makeshift grill was officially completed.

Bread slices, dried meats and sausages are grilled hot by the campfire.

A few more dates and this is breakfast.

Of course, everyone also had a candy bar of date and honey that they had just made yesterday. The delicious and sweet feeling filled their mouths immediately, which made these soldiers who were used to eating salty and hard dried meat very satisfied.

There is also cool well water drawn from the well, for the soldiers who have traveled for a long time to wash and scrub their bodies.

This leisurely feeling is not like coming to war, but like an outing.

The winner is this treatment.

After breakfast, Kant also washed a little. The cold well water was wiped on his face and body with a towel. The exhaustion from last night's journey seemed to be swept away, and he became refreshed after this fun and dripping battle.

Go to the well not far away.

The edge of the well was still darkened by the fire, but the water wheel that had been burned at the beginning had been replaced with a new one.

It seems to be replaced by those higher gnolls.

Not only for important hydration, but also for washing their body hair. Compared with the lower-level gnolls who don't know what etiquette is, these higher-level gnolls obviously pay more attention to their external manifestations.

"My lord, this well cannot be left."

The Salander rider who followed Kant spoke with a solemn tone: "This will be the help of the enemy."

"That's right." Kant nodded.

High-level gnolls have reappeared here, so the expeditionary force that the captive Asage mentioned at the beginning is estimated to appear in the southern part of the Naron Desert, and the place with the well will also be their first stop.

It can be guessed that it will take 30 days to cross the edge of the devil's belt without the slightest water and vegetation.

Even if you carry a lot of supplies, it is estimated that it will be exhausted when you come here.

The expeditionary force of the Greymane Kingdom urgently needs to replenish drinking water. This well, which has a diameter of two meters and is directly connected to the groundwater, can once meet the needs of nearly two thousand gnolls. It is their life-saving straw.

It is also the most beneficial help to capture the sentry oasis.

The Sentinel Oasis is a truly qualified outpost, and those gnolls will definitely not give up.

"This well must be destroyed."

Kant made up his mind.

He can ask the camel team to bring more water bags to solve the problem of drinking water, and he is not willing to leave this well as a supply station for the enemy.

This is irresponsible to oneself and will lead to the most serious consequences.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and they sensed that the expedition of the Greymane Kingdom was coming, so they only needed to rip the edge of the well, and then poured a lot of sand into it, leveling the well and the surrounding ground, so that no traces could be seen. .

And if Kant wins later.

Or if you want to continue to develop here, you only need to carefully look for this well.

The well walls are ready-made.

Dig down the wall of the stone well and dig up the sand again. This well connected to the groundwater will continue to appear in this desert and become Kant's help.

Of course, this is a secret known only to Kant.

Those low-level gnolls would not clearly state the location of the well.

This will make the Greymane Kingdom Expeditionary Force, who had been struggling to reach the southern part of the Narun Desert, helpless and continue to march towards the Sentinel Oasis with their exhausted bodies, and eventually be dragged down by the desert and achieve Kant's victory.

Just do it, the peasants and cavalrymen who have finished breakfast all come to help.

After refilling the well, they hang up.

Filling desert wells doesn't take much effort, and the surrounding sand dunes are immeasurable.

Bags of sand were poured into the well, sealing the bottom of the well.

This is no small project.

Worked from morning to noon, and continued to work after a break. Near the afternoon, more than 60 people finally filled the well with sand, and threw the stones on the edge of the well into it, and continued to fill in the sand. Let this place become flat, and no traces of water wells can be seen anymore.

Continue to rest, and after dinner, Kant gave the order: "Let's go."

After a busy day, they have other important things to do.

The gnolls in the natural salt mine still need to be cleaned by them, and the linen bags brought by the 10 dromedary camels must be filled with coarse salt, which is a successful conclusion.

Taking advantage of the dusk, they continued to move forward in the desert.

With the appearance of the stars, the chill has also penetrated through the clothes, making it a little unbearable.

Estimated to have walked nearly half the distance, Kant ordered the camp to continue.

They don't know if there are gnolls in the natural salt mines, nor do they know if there will be more advanced gnolls, so raising their spirits and ensuring their physical strength is the key to going to the salt mines.

All night.

Wake up the next morning.

After breakfast, everyone continued to set off, and soon came to the salt mine in the morning.

In the vast desert, the saline-alkali land of Baihuahua spreads to the horizon, which are all precious resources formed after the salt lake dries up.

Kant looked around and found no gnoll.

However, the tents that had been destroyed last time, and the corpses of the gnolls disappeared.

The specific situation is unknown.

But according to Kant's understanding of the gnolls living in these deserts, when they are hungry, even the same species are on the list of their diets, and they will not have the slightest scruples at all, let alone some corpses.

"Farmers collect kosher salt faster."

Kant turned his head to instruct, and at the same time said solemnly: "The Salander rider is on standby, and the desert robbers are scattered for investigation."

"Understood!" the crowd replied.

There is less and less time left for Kant.

He needs to continue to improve his strength in the shortest possible time.

Otherwise, when the expeditionary army of the Greymane Kingdom arrives, relying entirely on the protection of the current sentry oasis, Kant still feels a little worried, after all, he does not know how many troops there will be.

But since these troops can carry out expeditions, there must be many, and they will not be too weak.
