Lord of the Oasis

Sentinel Oasis.

Asage stood by the lake, looking at this small lake with a dull face.

It didn't remember that there was a small lake here.

But didn't think too much.

There was a chill in the back of his head, which made Asage feel chills all over his body.

Because it knew that just behind him, two elite cavalrymen in fine armor must be following him expressionlessly, and the big hands in the mail gloves were the nail heads hanging on the belt. hammer.

"Gudong." Asage swallowed and spit.

The more it thought about it, the more frightened it became, and even the cold sweat on its forehead stained the gray hair.

Asage didn't know when the sharp hammer would smash into his head, easily pierce his skull, and give himself a scoop of death.

"Hey, what are you doing stupidly?"

One of the Swadian heavy cavalry behind him looked unhappy.

Staring at the 2-meter-tall Gnoll, the feeling of looking up made him feel even worse. He raised his foot directly, and the iron-studded chain boots kicked heavily in the bend of Asage's leg: "Time to let the wind out, give Laozi a treat. cherish."

"Uh…"

Asage fell to his knees, but did not dare to resist in the slightest: "Yes, yes, let's go, let's go."

Saying that, it walked forward slowly by the lake, but its eyes became more and more sad.

Now is the time to let loose.

Kant arranged it so that it could move around the village.

Before the interrogation, before investigating the reality of the so-called Greymane Kingdom, this high-level gnoll Asage can still guarantee basic dietary requirements and certain freedom.

Just like now, he can have half an hour of air time.

Giving some hope can often break people down more than harsh persecution and reveal everything they know.

But escape is definitely impossible.

Since being captured at this sentry oasis, Asage has been strictly guarded.

And for it, the only outsider, not only is it blocked in the basement of the Consulate Hall every day, even if it is released, it will not exceed half an hour at all.

Although there was enough food and water, they were watched to death.

If you really dare to run away...

Asage glanced at the two burly human warriors behind him, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Back then, it was these guys who rushed down the sand dunes on their fully-armed warhorses and pinned the gnoll warriors they hired to the sand with ease. The tragic state of being annihilated in an instant made it wake up from a dream at night.

It's just a businessman, fighting and killing... the most terrifying.

"What will happen to me, Supreme Stormlord, please give me hope."

Asage couldn't help but pray with grief in his heart.

The Storm Lord is the most influential deity on the coast of Mannheim. It is also the religious belief of these high-level gnolls of the Greymane Kingdom. It can bless those who go to sea safe and sound, and the area where they are located will not be attacked by disasters.

But Asage prayed a few words in his heart, but couldn't help sighing: "This is the south of the Naron Desert, where the power of the Storm Lord cannot affect it."

The Narun Desert was once a restricted area.

Many races and countries on the coast of Mannheim will not penetrate into the Nalen Desert.

Not to mention Asage, bypassing the extremely hot devil zone, came to the extreme south of the Nalen Desert, discovered a natural salt mine with astonishing reserves, and was miserably captured...

In fact, the penetration of the Naron Desert by the Greymane Kingdom did not last long.

from 10 years ago.

A low-level gnoll tribe that migrated to the Narun Desert after a near-death experience was discovered by the Kingdom of Greymane.

After understanding, I learned that there is a human kingdom in the south of the Nalen Desert, and there are many of them, and they also sent troops to slaughter the low-level gnolls in the desert.

on the coast of Mannheim,

The Greymane Kingdom, which belongs to the middle-class forces, can't sit still.

They desperately need to open up new battlefields and loot enough to make their country stronger.

The other two countries on the coast of Mannheim, because of the opening up of maritime trade, have experienced rapid growth in their wealth in recent years, and their military strength has also soared, which really makes these high-level gnolls a little palpitated.

That is a kingdom of lizardmen, and a republic of elves.

Asage swallowed.

According to its understanding, the Kingdom of Greymane is about to send troops to loot those human nations.

Even the low-level gnoll tribes can enter the human country and wreak havoc for 3 years. These well-equipped and high-level gnolls can easily defeat the army of the human country, loot wantonly, and even conquer new territories?

"I will be rescued at that time." Asage suddenly felt happy.

"Come on!"

But there was a force behind him, causing it to stumble and take a few steps forward.

Mizzi's psychology turned into fear again. It walked quickly, and did not dare to resist or even look at the two Swadian heavy cavalry behind him.

Now its life is still in the hands of others.

………………

Sandwaya Mountains, Stone Pass.

Kant narrowed his eyes slightly.

In front of the 6-meter-high city wall, he did not find any troops.

Looking up at the two sides of the closed city gate, on the wooden arrow tower more than 7 meters high, there was no one in sight.

"The defense is lax." Kant sneered at the corner of his mouth.

Even if there are only gnolls in the Naron Desert, it is not worthy of attention, but such a lax garrison is enough to testify to the management level of the owner of the Stone Pass, the Baron Dylan.

"Sir, do you want to knock on the door?" the Salander rider behind him asked.

"Knock, louder." Kant nodded.

The Salander rider nodded, kicked his horse's belly slightly, and rode his horse quickly to the gate of the stone pass. After dismounting, he lifted his foot and kicked heavily on the wooden gate. bang" sound.

The sound was so loud that the wooden door shook.

"What's the matter? Are the gnolls attacking?"

"This shaking sound, is the gnoll tribe about to rush in?!"

"Armed! Arrange! Don't let those gnolls in!"

The noisy sound immediately came from inside, but no matter how you heard it, it was a little flustered and unprepared.

After a while.

More than 30 soldiers armed with spears and wearing leather armor appeared on the city wall.

The faces were filled with fear and panic, and even Kant saw a lot of young and immature faces underneath, and it gave him the feeling that he was similar to himself, a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old child who just turned adult!

"Is this the garrison of the pass?"

Manid couldn't help but say, "It's like a group of militiamen."

"These are recruited peasants, not much better than our Swadian recruits, and are used as cannon fodder."

Kant naturally understood the troop configuration of the Principality of the Lion.

But looking at the desolate soldiers on the city wall, he couldn't help but hum: "It's such a critical pass, and it would be too careless to use these recruited farmers as the key troops guarding the city wall."

"Shit... damn, who are you?"

On the city wall, those soldiers also discovered that Kant was not a gnoll.

The confidence of all humans also appeared, and he said loudly, not too afraid at all: "Do you know that this is the Stone Pass, which belongs to Baron Dylan's territory?"

Just as these conscripted farmers were talking, another new army walked up to the city wall.

These are all soldiers wearing iron-inlaid leather armor or even chain armor. They look a lot stronger, and the weapons in their hands are also standard military weapons such as iron swords and spears.

Apparently, new reinforcements have arrived.

And there are more than a dozen archers on the city wall and arrow tower, looking at Kant and them coldly.

"It still looks like it."

Kant shrugged and commanded Manid next to him without fear: "Tell them that Baron Kant of the Naron Desert is going to enter the Stone Pass and wants to meet Baron Dylan to discuss important matters."

"Understood." Manid nodded.

At the same time, the horse took a few steps forward, looked at the garrisoned troops on the city wall, and said loudly: "This is the nobleman of the Principality of Lions, the second son of King Cameron, the Baron Kant who was canonized in the Naron Desert, ready to enter the rock. Pass, I want to meet Baron Dylan to discuss important matters!"

Showing your identity and conveying your intentions is already a gesture of goodwill.

The city wall was also slightly silent.

Those militia composed of soldiers and peasants were not qualified to handle affairs among nobles.
