Lord of the Oasis

The death of slaves happens from time to time. After all, as slaves captured from the battlefield, it is obviously impossible for the victor to treat them as friends. Cruel torture is only commonplace, and more of a harsh living environment.

If you don't eat enough, don't wear warm clothes, don't get enough rest, you can't get effective supplements.

Even if you are sick, you have to go to work.

want to rest?

Hehe, there will be friends who used to be familiar with, who are also today's overseers, loyal bastards of the victors, who will use a tough leather whip to wake you up from tiredness, and go to work today with a full body of patients. work done.

If you become a slave, you basically can't be seen as a human being, and you are basically a human-shaped animal.

This is the truth.

Several slaves would die in the salt mines every day, which Kant already knew.

However, looking at the increasing reserves of coarse salt in the warehouse, the death of these slaves has become very valuable. At least for Kant, a large amount of coarse salt is stored, which can be made for several months after the salt mines are lost in the future.

At least at the moment, the salt-making workshops of the castle "Drehem" have not been able to keep up with the speed of the reserves.

Although a large amount of salt has been produced by working day and night.

But most of the warehouses were still full of linen sacks, bulging with coarse salt, brought in by the transport camels that traveled between the castle and the salt mine every week.

Even if more than half of the current slaves have died, there are still nearly 700+ people.

Naturally Kant doesn't care.

Keeping so many slaves and supplying a lot of food and water is a hassle.

"Wait." But in an instant, Kant frowned, turned his head to look at Manid, and asked in a deep voice, "You mean... a special natural environment appeared in the depths of the Naron desert, which caused the slaves to die. Mass death?"

"Yes, lower temperatures at night."

Manid nodded.

"This..." Kant frowned: "It's really not right."

This is abnormal.

Although the night temperature in the Narun Desert is indeed extremely cold,

But not so outrageous.

You know, Kant still values ​​his slaves, at least he has a leather jacket, and a bonfire is built around the tent to keep everyone warm at night. How could nearly 300 slaves freeze to death so easily.

It would be right if 300 slaves were exhausted to death due to the current level of cruel labor!

"Maybe the undead."

The lion knights next to him spoke up.

Regarding unconventional weather, they also have their own opinions: "No, there are only undead. These undead come from the resurrection of the dead, and the undead between life and death will exude the negative energy of the undead."

After all, there is a magical inheritance in Pandeland.

Kant nodded: "Well, continue."

"The negative energy of the undead, its distinctive feature is cold."

The lion knights said: "The frost will cover the earth, and everything can be frozen. That is the condensed mind of the dead. The hatred of the living creatures in the sunshine world is a kind of ability of negative energy."

"Where the sky of death spreads, there is also that kind of frost spreading."

The royal knights also nodded and said, "There is also a bone-chilling cold that even the sand layer is frozen."

"Yeah." Kant said solemnly: "Trouble is coming."

"trouble."

Manid also murmured in a low voice.

This is not the first time he has heard this sentence, and he also knows how dangerous the undead who are slowly arriving in the Naron desert are.

But he didn't expect that the danger that had been conceptualized all along would come so soon, and it had even appeared at the salt mine. It was not even close to the sentry oasis under his feet.

When they first entered the depths of the Naron desert, when they encountered the sky of death, they had already encountered the terrifying cold current. If it were not for the protection of extraordinary power, it is estimated that even people and horses would freeze to death in the depths of the desert.

That cold snap is not something ordinary people can resist.

"Damn."

Kant frowned as well.

But without hesitation, he turned his head and said, "Go and inform the mages, and the progress will be accelerated immediately!"

"Yes!" The knight who served as the escort responded immediately and walked quickly to the top floor, where there is the dormitory of the apprentices of the mages, where the mages conduct magic experiments and fusion plans for the sun disc.

Kant's castle can be declared safe as long as the sun disc takes shape and blesses the sentry oasis.

At least don't care about the threat of death sky.

Just under discussion.

The door of the administrative hall was pushed open, and a desert robber rushed in quickly, half-kneeling in front of the long table, and quickly reported: "Lord Lord, the Salt Mine found the death curtain, and was attacked by the undead army, and it has now fallen! "

"what?"

Kant instantly stood up in his place.

He clenched his hands and looked at the desert robber who was half-kneeling in front of the long table, his snoring was a little short of breath: "How is it possible that the salt mine has been lost like this?"

"That's right, just 2 days ago!"

The voice of the desert robber cried a little: "All of us have withdrawn!"

He still had a dusty look on his body.

On the leather armor outside, you can even see the marks of slashing with a knife and axe.

Including the blood, it has turned black slightly, and the wounds are all blue and purple. Although it has healed, it seems to know that it has been infected by dirty things. Even this desert robber has white lips and a sick face on his face. yellow.

And when the desert robber finished reporting, a strange red suddenly appeared on his cheeks, and the whole person collapsed directly, motionless at the long table in front of Kant.

"Passed out."

A lion knight came over, stretched out his hand to probe his breath, and said solemnly after checking, "I need treatment, and even more rest."

The royal knights also sighed: "It seems that they rushed back from the salt mine."

"Come on, take him down for treatment."

Kant waved.

At the same time, he instructed Bandak, who frowned slightly beside him: "Go and see, who else knows the details, I need to know the details, and know how my salt mine fell!"

"Yes." Bandak nodded and left quickly.

There was also someone next to the desert robber who had collapsed on the ground and passed out. He will then receive the proper treatment and rest. At least the craftsmen's union has trained doctors, although the effect is definitely not as good as James's. Top doctor, but still ok with small infections and wounds.

After all, there will be people injured in daily life, and on the training ground, the training of high-level arms to low-level arms will cause wounds from time to time due to hand mistakes, so a group of doctors are trained.

It's okay to save yourself.

During the war, it can also be used as a field doctor to take care of the wounded.

Manid sighed beside him: "The situation is critical."

"yes."

Kant gritted his teeth and sat down in the chair again.

The lion knights and royal knights next to them were silent, with determination on their faces.

The war is about to begin.

Everyone has understood that the rapid fall of the salt mine means that it is time for the most elite troops belonging to the Castle of "Drehem" to come on stage and retake the salt mine!

Soon, Bandak came back with a slightly solemn expression.

"bad news."

He spoke slowly.

"Let's talk." Kant frowned, he was mentally prepared.

Bandak Shen Shenghui reported: "The salt mine fell quickly, and all the slaves were frozen to death. Only the desert robbers from the salt mine station were killed. They just came to the castle to report quickly, and just behind, the more elite 500 The Swadian knight and the two royal knights have been entangled by the terrifying undead army."

"It really... surprises me." Kant's eyes flashed hideously. It was only a few days before the camel team reported that 300 people were frozen to death. In a blink of an eye, desert robbers fled back, saying that the salt mine had fallen.

How can this not be surprising!

In Kant's eyes, his layout at the salt mine is basically foolproof.

Although it is mainly to prevent slave rebellion, it is still the first to explore the depths of the Naron Desert, those undead hidden in the sky of death.

That was a heavy cavalry unit led by 2 royal knights and a full 500 Swadian heavy cavalry!

Call it elite.

But even so, he was still entangled by the undead, and he actually needed the desert robbers to come back first for help.

"And, Lord Kant."

Bandak continued to speak: "According to the narratives of several other desert robbers, the sky of death did not spread, but the sudden appearance of those undead was tantamount to a sneak attack, which caught them off guard."

"Wait." Kant squinted: "Undead's sneak attack?"

"Yes."

Bandak nodded.

Kant's face was grim, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "I think I heard it right. It turned out to be a sneak attack by the undead? These dead skeletons will still attack this tactic?"

This cannot be doubted by Kant.

The undead have no wisdom, but with an instinctive hatred of the living, they form a sea of ​​undead to attack the enemy.

Sneak attack doesn't exist at all.

Or that these undead didn't even have a formation.

It is because of the instinct of undead creatures that the fires of the souls attract each other, gather each other in a mess, and will only go dormant willingly until all the enemies are swallowed and wiped out.

"It's a death knight."

Bandak said slowly: "And the skeleton cavalry."

"Huh?" Kant raised his eyebrows.

"Similar to knights seduced by the power of the underworld, but they belong to the cavalry who have been transformed by the power of the undead after death." Bandak explained: "It seems to be the mobile force of the undead."

Kant's face was gloomy, he had understood the concept of death knight or skeleton cavalry.

This has been accepted in the previous life, and it is very easy to make up the concept map.

But Kant's face was even more unsightly, and he said solemnly: "I originally thought that these undead were also skeletons and zombies, but I really didn't expect that even death knights and skeleton cavalry appeared, do you want to give me bones in the end? Dragon or something?"

In Kant's impression, the undead do have such a thing.

In this world, there are actually creatures like giant dragons. Although it has already become a legend in the age of the gods, thinking about it makes people feel a little palpitated!

PS: The update will resume tomorrow. I have been busy with party members recently, and it has now been resolved.
