Lord of the Oasis

Time passes day by day.

But the guards of Sentinel Oasis did not relax in the slightest.

40 Salander riders, along with 40 elite desert robbers, and 50 desert robbers, like the stars spread across the sky, routinely patrol the northern side of the Naron Desert in scattered formations.

A large number of light cavalry scattered out, and the reconnaissance was very careful.

But after the conical scope reconnaissance.

The 10 desert cavalrymen did not return like the other light cavalry. Instead, they still rode their horses forward, continuing along the top ridgeline of the sand dunes, heading towards the depths of the desert.

Just on horseback, enough food and water to last a week.

They are going to the natural salt mine.

According to the description of the captive high-level gnolls, their marching route came from the depths of the Nalen Desert, passed through this white-flowered saline-alkali land, and finally reached the salt-fetching land in the south of the salt mine. of the south.

According to the plan, the area where the salt mines are mined will be stationed with response teams.

And these 300 gnoll pirates will also use force to brazenly seize the control of the lower gnoll tribe.

Then lead the troops to continue to occupy the sentry oasis.

In the shortest possible time, the outpost of the expeditionary army was established, and then it attacked the stone pass at the gap in the canyon of the Sangwaya Mountains, and successfully entered the territory of the human kingdom and plundered it, creating a colony dominated by gnolls.

Sounds like a perfect plan.

It's just that it's not up to the expeditions of the Greymane Kingdom to decide whether it will succeed or not.

Kant, who regards the Naron Desert as his territory, will not cooperate obediently.

Not for the nations of mankind.

Not to mention the lion principality of Cameron, the lion king.

just for myself.

Nor will Kant make these gnoll's strategic ideas a reality.

Therefore, these 10 desert robbers, whom he sent to the natural salt mine for reconnaissance,

Be the first to detect the news of the arrival of the Greymane Kingdom Expeditionary Force, and use the light cavalry's own high mobility to transmit this information back to the Sentinel Oasis in the shortest possible time to ensure that Kant and Fatis can be prepared as soon as possible. It can't be a ridiculous Oolong incident like the last time.

Even now.

Kant felt very distressed when he thought of the 5 acres of date palm trees that had been completely cut down.

But it has been irreversible.

According to the time calculation, in less than ten days, the expedition of the Greymane Kingdom will reach the Naron Desert.

At that time, these date palm trees will also be cut down.

"It's really a pity."

Kant stood at the top of the Consultative Hall, looking at the bare sandy land on the north side, where the exposed wooden stakes were lined up neatly, and the lush woods could still emerge in his mind.

Now there are only wooden stakes and the canals flowing through the lake, which can vaguely recall the lush past.

But the "Drehem" fortress was heavily armed.

100 Vaegir archers have been stationed in the four walls and arrow towers, together with 50 Swadian crossbowmen at the attic windows of the city wall, and 20 Ravenston Rangers at the top of the Consulate, forming the current long-range defense firepower.

This is the first rain of arrows to deal damage to the enemy.

The 50 Swadian infantrymen in double-layer heavy armor, holding thick fan-shaped shields, stood coldly in the shadow of the eaves, and their eyes under the flat helmets were also cold.

Surrounded by the 500 Swadian militiamen on call at all times.

Holding a hunting crossbow that is not very powerful, but can still cause damage, he looks at the front indifferently.

Their task is very important.

Because just under the city wall not far away, there are nearly 2000+ gnolls living in the countless prison camps that were built randomly with tents.

Although now they are all hungry and dizzy, it is difficult to stand up and walk.

But with such a large number, it really riots, and it is definitely a threat.

Even the heavy cavalry not far away were secretly vigilant.

10 Swadian top horses wearing double-layer heavy chain armor and leading Swadian horses also equipped with heavy full-covering chain armor. A knight sword, a kite-shaped knight shield on his back, and a heavy knight spear in his hand, slowly strolled on the training ground.

Behind him are five Mamluks from the Kingdom of Sarand.

And the equipment is very similar, with people and horses wearing heavy armor, 87 Swadian heavy cavalry from the same source.

This is the heavy cavalry that Kant is currently focusing on.

There are also the light cavalry who have already dispersed to patrol.

For example, 40 should actually be defined as heavy cavalry, but better than the more mobile Salander riders.

And 40 elite desert robbers, and 50 desert robbers.

"That's my strength."

With a smile at the corner of Kant's mouth, he stood at the top of the Consular Hall and couldn't help but let out a light breath.

Power comes from the barrel of a gun.

In this world where the strong eat the weak, the fist is also big, which is justice.

All arranged together.

At the top of the sand dunes at the natural salt mine, 10 desert robbers have also set up their tents, always guarding the surrounding area, constantly looking into the distance, looking for possible enemy troops.

Thanks to the last gnoll siege.

Most of the low-level gnolls here have been captured.

Even if there are a small number of low-level gnolls who escaped, facing these ferocious desert robbers, even if they are forty or fifty, they will be chased and killed by these ten light riders with machetes and horses, and they will be slaughtered in this saline-alkali land.

The low-level gnolls, who have been scared to death, dare not face the human cavalry at all.

In this dangerous lull, the week is drawing to a close.

Night shrouded the sky.

In the bright stars and the white moonlight, the late night spends the early morning.

It's a new week, a new month.

On the top of the sand dunes of the natural salt mine, the two desert robbers in charge of the night have just finished feeding themselves and the desert horses of their comrades with feed and water at night. desert to the north.

At random glances, they seemed to find a faint shadow on the horizon.

Rubbed his eyes.

The two of them cheered up and looked again.

But the relaxed face instantly stiffened, and he turned his head very seriously and entered his tent, kicking up all the comrades who had just fallen asleep and were still asleep: "The enemy is here!"

The other 8 desert robbers woke up suddenly.

All got up in the sandpit, went outside the tent and stared into the distance to the north.

Right in the depths of night.

A long black snake is extending in a twisted way. Although the starry night and moonlight cannot be seen clearly, how can these robbers who have lived in the desert for more than 20 years not be able to tell them apart? Long snake formation!

Thinking of the order that Lord Kant warned when he came.

The 10 desert robbers immediately packed their tents, got on their horses, and ran to the south.

They want to report this important information quickly.

The Crusaders of Greymane Kingdom...

coming!
