Lord of the Oasis

This is an extremely brutal battle.

A desperate battle between races for survival.

The number of gnolls approaching 500 gradually approached, with an anthropomorphic murderous intent on their beast-like heads.

This sentry oasis is the place where their ancestors have lived for generations, but now it is occupied by humans, which is equivalent to taking away their hometown and occupying their land.

This is an irreconcilable contradiction.

Any race that wants to survive in this desert must expel and slaughter the races that occupied the desert oasis before.

Kant wanted to live, so he had to kill these gnolls.

Dehrim wants to grow, so these gnolls are going to die.

It's that simple.

The forest law is annexation, and the desert law is extinction.

Look at the Middle East on Earth, the two river basins surrounded by deserts, no matter how many brilliant civilizations have been created, but once they decline and are occupied by other nations and civilizations, they will completely disappear in the long river of history, cutting off civilizations and nations. Inheritance, leaving only a few historical relics, but also to prove their existence.

Therefore, Kant will not have mercy, in essence, he belongs to the aggressor.

Things got to this point.

Will not back down!

The gnolls are still lurking and advancing, and the scale of more than 500 people is crushed into pieces, bringing these ignorant and cruel primitive races, the fanatical self-confidence from their hearts.

Number advantage brings confidence, as well as complacency about going undetected in the lurking process.

But these gnolls never thought that they were actually still exposed. The humans who were still sleeping soundly were waiting for work at this time. When they approached, they brazenly tore off their disguise and launched a fierce counterattack against them!

The counterattack was effective.

Take these jackals almost by surprise.

The gnoll warriors at the front had to stare at the green eyes in astonishment, watching the row of sharp spears stab over, and then there was severe pain in the abdomen, and they were directly stabbed to the ground by the sharp spears.

In vain, he widened his eyes and opened his mouth full of sharp teeth.

With a low howl, with misery and despair, he fell to the ground and completely lost his life.

Because the 2-meter-long spear has deeply left irreparable damage in their bodies, and the mace in the hands of these gnolls cannot cause harm to the humans at the tail of the spear.

Under the bright moonlight, the spearheads flashing with a cold light have all been dyed red.

These 30 Swadian infantry with spears are the main force of this battle!

The iron spear head carefully crafted by the blacksmith easily stabbed into the gnoll's body. With the slight twist of the hand holding the spear, it quickly pulled out after tearing the internal organs and bleeding heavily, and then stabbed it again.

Blood was splashing, and a strong smell of blood began to permeate the cold desert.

The phalanx of spears was originally the infantry tactics of the Swadia Kingdom.

As Calradia continent, once the strongest old-fashioned kingdom, before the rebellion of the southwestern mountains occurred in Swadia, the mountain people from the Rhodok Mountains were the best candidates to form the spear phalanx to maintain the front.

But even without the rock-solid Rhodoks, these Swadians can still form a phalanx of spears.

With skilled training skills, the guts of those gnolls will be stabbed to pieces!

"Long live Swadia!"

Kant was shouting, and at the same time, the sharp blade cut through the throat of the gnoll who fell to the ground, but was not dead.

He's boosting everyone's morale.

Because on the battlefield, there is no voice comparable to the lord's encouragement, which means that they are still fighting with their lord, and there are enough comrades beside them to fight with them.

This proves that they are not yet defeated.

"Long live!"

The peasants of Swadia cried out.

Following closely on both sides of these infantrymen, the long-handled scythes transformed from agricultural implements slashed like big swords and halberds, leaving bloody wounds on those gnolls who had never been equipped with armor. .

At the moment of close combat, at least 30 gnolls were killed.

However, Kant and his infantry were not complacent and moved forward firmly.

They also suffered casualties.

"No, save me... uh..."

On both sides, the screams of Swadian peasants appeared.

Someone was approached by the gnoll, and the mace full of iron nails was smashed down heavily. These peasants, who were also not wearing armor, could only use their own flesh to resist.

The consequences are dire.

"Um... help me..."

Another was smashed to the ground by the gnoll's mace, and the wounds were blurred with stabs.

But more, it is the blunt injury caused by the mace's own weight, which has injured the bones of these farmers, but they don't need to worry about the follow-up injury, because the next gnoll has already used its fangs Ripped their throats.

Seven Swadian peasants fell, completely lost to life.

"Hold on, hold on!"

Kant's eyes were red, these farmers were his capital, and it was a pity that all of them were wasted here.

But these casualties can still be endured by him.

Gritting his teeth, Kant said loudly, "Keep a tight formation and keep moving forward."

"Yes!" Beside him, the infantrymen with spears responded loudly.

Although the peasants suffered losses, the main force of these battles was still firmly in control of the audience.

They haven't been hurt yet.

On the contrary, just in front of the spear phalanx advancing step by step, the gnolls no longer dared to continue fighting recklessly, and after leaving behind more than 20 corpses, they began to spread out to the sides.

These gnolls know that without their armor and shields, they can't rush through the front of the spear phalanx!

But even if they went to both sides, the farmers were still clenching their teeth and slashing fiercely with long-handled scythes.

for their own home.

for their own village.

for their own kingdom.

These Swadian peasants are also desperate!

They also had to work hard!

A ferocious counterattack will stun these gnolls. This is the opportunity that Kant expected. Only with the huge casualties in a short period of time, making these wolves feel terrified and lose their morale to continue fighting is the key to their victory.

A person's courage is not constant.

These flesh-and-blood gnolls are not fearless.

They are also afraid.

The sudden counterattack made these stunned gnolls not react at all. Looking at the companions who were stabbed to the ground in front of them, the lucky ones who had fled the tribe before, seemed to remember the fear last night.

The sound of hooves, the sound of shouting, the sound of fighting, the sound of a long sword slashing across the neck, the sound of blood gushing out.

All with great fear.

"Da da... da da... da da..."

The gnolls retreated back in horror, and the rough mace made of wood and iron nails in their hands fell to the ground subconsciously, but they still didn't know it, as if they were about to see the most feared thing.

Yes, it's the sound of hooves.

The most frightening sound when they ran away in the desert last night!

"kill!"

A few shouts appeared, and in the darkness of the night, six cavalry roaring came out of nowhere.

At the same time, there is a heavy short javelin.

"Whoa whoa whoa-"

The air was torn apart, and the sharp short javelin swept over a distance of more than ten meters, nailing the 6 gnolls who could not dodge.

Then came the 6 of them with their spears upright, and they slammed into the messy formation of the gnolls from the side like a fall. The spear pierced through several gnolls fiercely, nailing them to the sand, twisting in pain, but unable to do anything.

It is Kant's only cavalry, the desert robbers are here!

"Long live Swadia!"

The appearance of these six desert robbers made the infantrymen around Kant extremely excited and cheered with high morale.

The spear in his hand was already full of blood, and the gnoll corpse in front of him had already covered the ground.

"Just now."

Kant looked at the shaking gnolls with a solemn expression on his face.

He understood that because of the appearance of the cavalry, these gnolls thought of yesterday's raid and the tragic deaths of their comrades, so their morale began to decline, and they even wanted to escape.

Troops who have experienced heavy losses will lose their morale quickly once they face the same heavy losses again in a short period of time.

That's what the gnolls are now.

More than 100 gnolls retreated in horror. At night, they also did not know whether there were other cavalry hidden somewhere, and they retreated quickly, even if they threw away the mace in their hands. Just fell into panic, and did not have the courage to continue fighting.

Even the other gnolls that he led backed back in horror.

Panic and low morale can spread.

Hundreds of gnoll corpses were left in the desert, but more gnolls chose to flee.

The battle ended quickly.

"Stop chasing and come back."

Kant's order was issued, and there was no request to allow the desert robbers to pursue horses.

He only has these 6 desert robbers.

Even the loss of one person is a huge loss, not to mention that these desert robbers are only light cavalry capable of assault. Compared with the well-trained cavalry of the Principality of Lions in chain armor, their defensive capabilities are obviously less.

Kant stood on the edge of the oasis, watching the gnoll disappearing among the dunes, the solemnity on his face also dissipated.

He won.

Shaking his head, he said, "Clean up the battlefield."

At the same time, Kant looked up at the farmers next to him, each with a sad face, and heaved a heavy sigh: "Remember to count the battle damage, and hand it over to me when it's done."

"Understood." A desert robber nodded, indicating that he accepted the task.

Kant stood there, and the data frame appeared on the retina.

But his face was extremely embarrassed, he couldn't help clenching his fists, and said, "I won by luck."
