Lord of the Oasis

The dusk gradually came to an end, and the bright stars accompanied the moon, releasing their own light in the sky.

Like a soft tulle sprinkled on the ground, with the tenderness of the night.

The sticks were wrapped with linen strips, drenched in grease, and the slightly crude torches were made. They were held in the hands of the Swadian light infantry of the patrol team, and they carried out the pre-night fire along the outer dunes of the sentry oasis. patrol.

On the streets inside the city walls, the same torches were lit and inserted into the grooves deliberately left on the walls on both sides.

The torches are bright enough, just like the daytime.

The whole street is clearly visible.

This is convenient for those busy peasants and peasant women, who are busy with the work at hand a little faster.

Tables and chairs in the house were moved out.

At the same time, there are also wooden bowls and plates, as well as knives, forks, and spoons are ready.

The rich aroma of food filled the air, and 10 roasted golden desert antelopes were brought to the table, including sliced ​​bread in small rattan baskets, and white salt mixed with a little spice sprinkled on a wooden plate.

Add barrels of cabbage bisque, steaming hot with an alluring aroma.

It's dinner time.

And it was a sumptuous banquet specially prepared to celebrate the victory.

And that intoxicating ale.

They were all goods from the Zivadin caravan.

For tonight's banquet, and to celebrate the successful establishment of the fortress, including the start of the salt trade, Manid purchased 10 barrels of ale on his own initiative, although the price was slightly expensive, reaching 250 dinars per barrel, but for the already busy For a long time, the soldiers and civilians who were in a tense state had a very good relaxation effect.

Manid has reported it, and Kant agrees.

It has been immersed in the cold spring water and can be pulled up to open the lid when the meal starts.

Sip a sip of the amber-colored wine, the slight malt sweetness fills the mouth with the coolness, swallow it in one gulp, and let out a satisfied wine burp, before the refreshing feeling dissipates, use a knife to cut a piece of roasted golden brown Lamb, dipped in salt and placed in the mouth, is extremely delicious.

just think,

It can make people feel that their mouths and stomachs will explode tonight!

Everyone was smiling.

Food and wine are the eternal rules of all planes.

Soldiers who were off duty also came to help.

All the wort iced in the spring water were taken out and placed neatly beside the long table. The wet wine barrels had not been wiped clean, and a circle of water stains made the sandy ground that had been trampled underfoot soaked.

They can't wait to taste these wines.

No one can refuse the amber-like liquor down the throat, the intoxicating intoxication in the coolness.

It's just Lord Kant, their lord has not yet come down, no one will really steal the malt wine, even if it is a sip.

This is a sincere admiration for a worthy lord.

After the patrol, the Swadia light infantry came back with torches, and after confirming that there was no problem, they exchanged responsibilities with their companions, put down the burden of a busy day, and walked towards the street in groups of threes and fives.

The light steps who took over their posts stood on the city gates or walls as sentries.

After dark, guard the city walls and key points carefully.

However, there are still elite Swadian infantry, wearing heavy armor to form patrols, patrolling the interior of the fortress.

Tight on the outside and tight on the inside, safety first.

Everyone was on standby on both sides of the street, and those who knew each other were sitting together, chatting with each other about past anecdotes, and laughing from time to time, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

The banquet is about to start.

As the host, Manid stood in the chair of the long table and nodded secretly to the atmosphere.

So far, the banquet has been half done.

"Lord Kant hasn't come down yet?"

Fatis arranged the night sentinels and patrols, and then walked quickly.

But he didn't see Kant, so he couldn't help turning his head to look at the towering Consular Hall next to him, and said to Manid a little helplessly: "Is no one going to call Lord Kant? Maybe he fell asleep because he was too tired."

"No." Manid was also helpless: "Master Kant ordered that you don't need to call him for dinner."

"However, this banquet, without Lord Kant, may be too disappointing." Fatis was stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

This is a celebration feast.

The largest banquet ever held at Sentinel Oasis.

Roast lamb, roast meat, roast sausage, all kinds of food have been piled on the table.

There is also cabbage bisque, and ale, which is quite a hearty meal.

For the success of tonight's banquet, a lot of spices have even been added to the food, which, for the current Sentinel Oasis, is quite a luxury banquet condiment.

Now, Lord Kant did not appear.

The owner of the sentry oasis, the lord of the "Drehem" fortress, had to be present at the banquet.

"and many more."

Fatis' eyes narrowed instantly.

He turned his head to look at the corner of the edge of the city wall, his tone was astonished: "I don't remember there...that is..."

"What?" Manid also turned to look.

The soldiers who were still chatting also keenly discovered something. All of them were shocked. They stood up and looked around with wide eyes, as if they had discovered something.

But in his eyes, there was joy in all of them.

"Is that the arrow tower?"

Fatis's voice sounded, and his tone was extremely surprised: "And the city wall attic?"

"That's right." Manid nodded in agreement.

Everyone inside and outside the fortress nodded affirmatively, especially the Swadians, who were even more surprised.

The arrow tower made of stone and the attic made of solid wood on the city wall, with a strong style of the Swadia kingdom, how could they not let these Swadian soldiers miss and sigh ?

"This is the miracle of Lord Kant."

Manid opened his mouth and immediately made everyone at the banquet cheer.

In their impression, this is the supreme power that only God can do.

And they know the same.

They are in the land of miracles, and the Lord Kant they follow can also do it!

Everyone's faces were full of joy and smiles. The appearance of these buildings represented the rise of the city defense system again, and it was a guarantee for the safety of all of them, especially those peasants and peasant women, who were even more excited to cry.

This represents a chance for survival.

Under the attack of the enemy, the confidence to persevere.

The rectangular fortress has arrow towers in all four corners, the height of 10 meters is the same as that of the Consulate Hall, and the width of 5 meters. The thorny giant guarded the fortress with his chest out.

Originally, the stone city wall, which only had a concave and convex retaining wall, has changed a lot.

The most conspicuous is the height.

The 5-meter-high stone city wall has become 7 meters, because the attic made of wood splicing and reinforcement has a height of 2 meters itself, which not only increases the city wall, but also shelters the wind and rain, and even blocks the top. Downpour of arrows.

This is the attic where the bowmen are stationed, and it really evolved from the attic where the people lived.

Not only can it improve the survivability of bowmen.

When there is no war, it can be used as a resting place for the archers, guarding their posts day and night.

If war comes.

These archers push open the window-like shooting holes, and they can turn this normally sheltered attic into a dead beast spewing countless arrows, letting the siege troops know what the anger of the defenders is. .

"Ugh-"

The sound of the bullhorn for the alarm suddenly sounded at the top of the Consulate Hall.

The Ravenston Ranger stuck his head out from above, pointed to the east and shouted loudly, "A strange army is approaching!"

"what?"

Fatis was stunned for a moment, with a bit of doubt on his face.

But he immediately clenched his fists and shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "Everyone is in a state of preparation, and immediately go to the city wall to deploy defense. Before receiving a new order, keep the defense in place on the city wall!"

"Understood!" The soldiers on the street who were still waiting for the banquet to start roared wildly.

Everyone's faces were extremely solemn.

Because unfamiliar troops are still heading towards the sentry oasis, all they can think of at the moment is that the Greymane Kingdom expedition from the coast of Mannheim is here to conquer their enemy troops!

"Wait, it doesn't seem like the enemy!"

At the top of the Consulate, the Ravenston Ranger stuck his head out and shouted again.

Looking at the comrades below who were ready for battle, the ranger looked a little embarrassed, and still shouted to them: "It seems to be the kingdom of Vikya, and the troops of the kingdom of Swadia, you send people out. have a look."

The soldiers who were still striding towards the city wall subconsciously stopped.

Kingdom of Wikia…

And the troops of the Kingdom of Swadia?

The caravan leader, Jocelyn, looked slightly stunned. He was a Vikya.

Fatis frowned and asked the ranger in a reprimanding tone, "Are you sure?"

"Sure."

The ranger replied with a somewhat apologetic tone: "Sorry, I didn't make it clear."

"Make it clear next time!" Fatis snorted coldly.

But he didn't continue to reprimand him, he turned his head and re-ordered the surrounding soldiers: "Remove the alarm, go to a few light cavalry to explore, if it is the troops of the Kingdom of Vijay and the Kingdom of Swadia, bring them here. Coming to the Land of Miracles means that they are brave warriors who are willing to follow Lord Kant and help us."

"Yes." The four desert robbers responded quickly and ran to the stables.

Find your desert horse, untangle the reins and get on the horse, and run straight out of the city gate towards the sand dunes on the east side.

Just behind the dunes, a troop of 100 people is walking in a neat queue. Except for stepping on the sand layer, sinking and pulling out, the small sound of sand appears, all the troops are silent, just walking in the direction of the target sentry oasis. .

Although they are closely arranged, these hundred people are also distinct.

50-man Vician archer.

And 50 Swadian crossbowmen.
