Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 65. The returning troops

The night is in the sky, and the stars and rivers in the sky are bright.

By moonlight, Kant led the troops back to the ruins of the gnoll tribe.

The temporary camp is still here. After Kant originally planned to exterminate the gnolls in the salt mine, he brought his troops back and waited for a rest and replenished fresh water before starting his return journey.

Arrange the sentry and replacement personnel, and everyone goes to sleep.

Despite the battle, they didn't have much time to rest.

At dawn the next day.

The soldiers of Swadia woke up consciously, greeted each other groggyly, stretched their waists, and looked at Yu Bai on the edge of the sky in front of them, and their consciousness gradually recovered.

They all slept in armor last night.

When I woke up in the morning, my muscles were sore and sore.

But no one cares about that.

In the depths of the dangerous desert, it is possible to encounter the enemy at any time, taking off the armor to sleep, can only seek death.

For the sake of life, sleeping in armor is a wise and good choice.

Of course, the chainmail on the war horse will be removed.

These delicate animals don't wear the chain mail that covers their whole bodies. This weight makes them sleep standing up all night, and it is estimated that they will not have the strength to pull out their hoofs stuck in the sand the next day.

"We're all busy, we're ready to go."

Someone was shouting, shouting Kant's orders to make everyone move.

Now, they have a lot more to do.

The temporary camp was quickly packed up and stacked on the three carriages that were brought.

Before the sky is bright, they have to leave quickly.

This is wisdom in the desert.

It is also a must for survival in the desert.

Nocturnal and nocturnal, sometimes it is also the key rule of survival.

When the water bladder is filled, this well, together with groundwater, is quite easy to replenish with fresh water, and no matter how much water is drawn from the well, the water level will not drop too much, and it will be quickly replenished by groundwater.

This is why more than 2,000 gnolls can rely on this well to survive.

But now, Kant has an idea.

For him, this well is temporarily useless, and there is not much chance to use it in the future. After all, there is more water in the sentry oasis, and this well is just redundant.

It can even finance the enemy and replenish the enemy with fresh water.

"Fatis."

Kant turned his head and said hello to his knight not far away.

"Master Kant, are there any arrangements?" Fatis walked over quickly.

"Yes." Kant nodded, without concealing his thoughts, and said to him: "Is there a way to block this well? I don't want to wait for us to leave. Those gnolls took advantage of this well and instead called us ours. threaten."

"That's it..."

Fatis was slightly stunned: "But Lord Kant, we sent people to mine the salt mine, and we also need the well water here."

It takes a total of 2 days to travel from the Salt Mine to the Sentinel Oasis.

If you want to mine salt mines, you must be like gnolls, stationed in some of the salt mines, delivering food and water every day, or replacing tired miners.

But it is just a 2-day journey, which is quite inconvenient for supplies.

The food is okay to say, in the dry desert and storage, the most important thing is fresh water.

Miners are hard work.

It also deals with natural salt mines with extremely high salinity.

In addition to the temperature of the desert, it increases the daily share of fresh water required by miners.

It is too unrealistic to rely solely on the transportation of the sentry oasis. Therefore, the landfill of this well means that Kant must limit the number of miners in the future, otherwise the supply of fresh water will not be enough.

can become a drag.

It is for this reason that the Fatis discouraged.

"Forget it." Kant sighed softly.

Turning his head to look at the gnoll tribe that burned to ashes, he said indifferently: "There are not many gnolls, dare to continue to come back here, even if we come back, we can still kill them."

"You are right, Lord Kant." Fatis nodded.

Now even if the heavy cavalry does not move, the 41 Swadian light infantry alone are enough to deal with 500 gnolls.

The armored infantry lined up, or the elite who have been tested on the battlefield. It is really easy to deal with a group of primitive and low-level gnolls who only know how to rush up in a mess and have no tactics at all.

And most importantly.

It is estimated that those gnolls will turn their heads and run away in fright when they see Kant's troops now.

The courage in their hearts has been completely defeated, and it is not so easy to recover.

"ready to go."

Kant waved forward, got on his horse, and started the return journey with the troops.

Fatis also followed closely.

This was the first time they took the initiative to attack other enemies, and those who stayed in the sentry oasis had no defensive force of their own, and only more than 30 construction workers were helping to look after the house.

According to Kant's calculation.

2 days later is the weekend, just in time to return to the sentry oasis.

When the Swadia standard house is completed, the system workers from Suno will also be able to complete their tasks and leave and return to the Calradia continent.

This is all in the plan.

Peaceful return.

No gnoll was encountered, and no danger was encountered.

The speed of going back is also a lot faster.

Day and night.

By the afternoon of the second day, I could already see the green of the sentry oasis.

Hundreds of date palm trees on 2 acres of land are swaying with branches and leaves, and the green appearance seems to bring coolness in this sultry desert, adding a relaxing green.

They are finally back.

Everyone is a mess.

The march was almost rushed, and everyone did not rest well in the desert.

Try to come back as soon as possible.

And Kant stood on the dune, looking at the date palm trees on both sides of the spring at the bottom, and the neatly arranged houses, with relief and pride on his face, this is his village.

"Keep walking, everyone can rest well when you go back!"

Fatis also opened his mouth, pursed his chapped lips, and loudly encouraged the morale of the soldiers: "We are home!"

"Long live!"

Those soldiers were cheering, their faces were tired, but their eyes were extremely excited.

The continuous fighting and the long trek exhausted their stamina.

Even Kant sighed in his heart.

He understands that his own strength is far from enough. After watching this raid on the gnoll tribe, he knows that if there is no systematic help, it will not be as easy as it is now.

300 people before departure.

When I came back, there were already less than 100 people.

Kant also had to sigh with emotion, the cruelty of war.

"However, the gain this time is enough to make up for the loss." Kant was calm.

41 Swadian light infantry.

46 Swadian heavy cavalry.

5 Salander riders.

This is the only arms left, but whether it is the light infantry of the third-level arms or the cavalry of the fourth-level, all of them are elites, and cannot be compared with the previous recruits and militia.

At present, the 92 soldiers in Kant can easily overwhelm the previous 300 troops.

This is just one of the rich fruits of victory.

There are also 10,000 dinars, 1,000 reputation, and 10 honor.

Although the upgrade cost more than 2,000 dinars, there is still a balance of more than 8,000 dinars, which is enough for Kant's current expenses.

But what caught his fancy the most was the 10 points of honor.

This represents Kant, who can randomly select 10 big gift packs in the system mall!

System produced, must be a boutique.

As long as Kant's luck is not bad, then drawing anything is the most generous reward.

The current sentry oasis is like a child who continues to be nourished.

All comers are welcome!
