Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 58. The well in the ruins

The sky is getting brighter.

The predawn fire devoured everything that could burn, reducing the entire gnoll tribe to ruins.

A strong burnt odor filled the air with the rising of black smoke.

The charred corpses curled up, like poor people who died miserably, but to the Swadians who were camping and camping outside, these guys were more than innocent.

For the safety of Sentinel Oasis, the gnoll must die.

This is a slaughter between races. For the survival of one's own race, one can only ask other races to die.

Plain reason.

Kant woke up in the tent. He was still very tired after sleeping for less than 2 hours, but now is not the time to rest, and there are many follow-up matters waiting for him to deal with.

Open the tent and go outside.

"Lord Lord."

The two Swadian heavy cavalry guards at the entrance of the tent bowed slightly and greeted respectfully.

The whole body of cavalry chain armor squeaked slightly with their movements, and the mace around the waist was hanging diagonally on the leather belt. It is a powerful armor-piercing weapon.

"Yeah." Kant nodded.

Swadia's heavy cavalry is currently his most elite troops. Although there are only 41 people, with this group of fully armored, tank-like violent troops, even 500 gnolls can be defeated in minutes.

What's more, he has 46 Swadian light infantry, also wearing infantry chain mail, to fight as infantry.

If there are still 200 Swadian militiamen, and now Kant attacks the gnoll tribe again, according to the tactics before dawn, I am afraid the casualties will definitely not be too big, and the time to directly defeat the psychological defense of these gnolls will also be shorter. quick.

In the era of cold weapons, heavy cavalry is the king of the battlefield!

"Where has Fatis gone?"

Touring around Anza's camp, Kant frowned slightly.

Asked to the light infantry patrolling with a heavy spear next to him: "Have you seen the Fatis knight?"

"Lord Kant, the Fatis knight is leading the Sarand rider to inspect the surrounding situation."

The headed light infantry first saluted respectfully, and then said: "I found the traces of the gnolls before. It seems that those disgusting guys who were defeated thought we left and wanted to come back and have a look."

"That's it." Kant nodded, and at the same time warned: "Everyone raise their spirits and pay attention to vigilance."

"Understood." The light infantry saluted.

Kant waved his hand and motioned them to continue patrolling, but he paid attention to the light infantry's words just now.

Attacking the gnoll tribe at dawn, although the victory was an epic victory, Kant actually knew that his victory should be to defeat the opponent, not kill them all.

Of course, in war, there is not much difference between being defeated and being killed.

A group of defeated soldiers cannot be called an army, just like pigs and sheep to be slaughtered, they cannot be called livestock.

Can be called food, or military exploits.

Soon, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distant sand dunes, and Fatis, with the remaining five Salander riders, was quickly returning to the temporary camp.

"Call-"

Fatisler got off his horse and saluted Kant: "Sir, good morning."

"Okay." Kant nodded in response.

Looking at Fatis and the five Salander riders, he frowned slightly and asked, "Look at your appearance, when you were on patrol, did you encounter those dirty primitive races?"

The linen robe over the chainmail was covered in blood splatters, easily recognizable.

Fatis didn't hide it, and said: "As soon as the sun came, scattered gnolls appeared on the surrounding sand dunes, and they just drove away a lot of them during patrols to prevent them from uniting again.

Strange thoughts on our makeshift camp. "

"Very good." Kant agreed with a smile.

Although it is simple to say, it must be bloody.

For these scattered gnolls, Fatis and Sarandian riders who were born desert robbers would not pity them, but would even kill them and let them stay in the desert forever.

"Lord Kant." Fatis turned his head and asked, "What plan do we have next?"

"Next?"

Kant frowned, this really needs to be thought about.

Looking up at the ruins in front of him, it was black and smoked, filling the air with a disgusting smell of burning, but Kant said, "Research the battlefield first."

Although they are all ordinary people, they are all determined warriors.

In a sense, the burnt stench produced by these wars has already been smelled enough in Calradia, and I can't feel any disturbance in my heart. Even if I continue to search the ruins, there is no problem at all.

As for vomiting at the sight of a charred body?

That's what poor kids do, and to them it's no different than a burnt roast chicken.

Kant's order to search the battlefield was given.

The entire standby troops were immediately separated, and 46 Swadian light infantrymen moved forward, ignoring the still slightly warm ruins, striding on the scorched corpses and ruins, fiddling with the burning ashes with their weapons, in order to find something of value.

And 41 Swadian heavy cavalry, led their own horses to assemble.

If any abnormal situation occurs, these heavy cavalry can go up in time, which is the experience of war.

Search is fast.

The gnoll tribe that has been reduced to ruins, where will there be anything of value to survive.

In addition to the old earthen jars found in the ashes of the ruins, or the bones, stones and other things that cannot be swallowed by the fire, after a search, even iron tools are quite scarce in this gnoll tribe.

"Oh, what is this."

But soon, a few Swadian light infantry seemed to have found something.

They stood in front of a higher ashes ruin, poking at the ashes with heavy iron-clad spears in their hands, only to find something solid inside, hindering their movements.

Several people looked at each other, and immediately retracted their spears. Regardless of the temperature left by the burning, they reached out and wiped away the dark ashes. Suddenly, the entire ashes piled up ruins seemed to lose their support and collapsed downwards, leaving only 2 A pothole in Mi, with the falling ash debris, echoed a few crisp sounds of water.

There is water in it.

These light infantrymen suddenly looked surprised, they could understand where they were.

In the Naron Desert, a barren water-deficient area, in this sunken pothole, the sound of water came. Obviously, this pothole is a water replenishment point that is extremely scarce in the desert.

That is, wells!

Immediately, the Swadian light infantry passed the message to the back.

The discovery of a well is important news.

Even as much as they found a lot of silver coins, and even more cherished gold coins.

Kant was calm about this, and the news of the well was already expected. After all, when he explored the place and saw the gnoll shaman arranging for the gnoll to drink water, he had already guessed that there must be a well here.

After all, although the desert is an environment with scarce water sources, it does not mean that there is no water.

Moreover, due to the lack of vegetation, the surface water vapor is scarce, but the groundwater at the bottom of the sand layer is extremely rich.

When Kant came to the well, the retina suddenly popped up a dialog box.

[Ding... Temporary task release]

[Temporary Mission: Mystery in the Well]

[Quest Reward: Station × 1]

[Introduction: The water in the well is sparkling, but your eagle-like eyes find that there seems to be something at the bottom of the well. Although it doesn't look real, you can still feel the mysterious aura emanating from it and decide to get it. 】

The system temporary task was actually released.

Kant frowned slightly, feeling a little helpless about the introduction. He didn't have eagle-like eyes.

But he still took a few steps forward, came to the edge of the well, looked down at it, it was indeed sparkling, and there was a faint reflection of water at the bottom five or six meters from the well.

But Kant stared.

He actually found something at the bottom of the well.

Looking closely, it seems to be a golden disc, which is vaguely invisible.
