The noon sun was blazing, and the breeze was like a heat wave.
This is the Narun Desert
The high temperature makes the smell of blood more intense, and a massacre is going on.
More than 50 gnolls with long fangs on their lower jaws and gray fur are holding up their animal-like heads, wailing shrill and desperate, raising their mace in their hands, and moving towards 20 Several cavalrymen rushed forward.
The cavalry of the Lion Principality who rushed down from the top of the dunes also charged down fiercely with long spears.
Head-to-head confrontation, head-to-head fight!
The Gnoll tribe in the Naron Desert is already a blood feud with the Principality of Lions.
Both sides were swept away by hatred.
But with the blood splashing, the voices of the gnolls were knocked out by the warhorse at the moment of staggering, and the sternum was more than half sunken, and blood was overflowing from the mouth full of sharp teeth.
Even that crazy howl eventually turned into a struggling howl.
“The great **** of war Edmund is watching us!”
Captain Rowan pierced a gnoll and nailed it to the soft sand, but without pausing, he pulled out his long sword and shouted encouragingly: “Fight for the lion principality!”
“Fight!”
The rest of the cavalry echoed loudly.
The Principality of Lions believes in the God of War, which is the most common prayer in the Church of God of War.
But just following this sentence, the other cavalrymen were all excited, rushed into the gnolls, and continued to slash left and right with their long swords. Wherever they went, a stronger smell of blood spread.
The battle was intense and brief.
A moment later, the floor is full of corpses.
Blood gushed from the wound, seeping into the gravel and staining the sand.
The victorious cavalry of the Principality of Lions have not stopped killing, because they have dispersed, chasing and killing those gnolls who have escaped sporadically, intending to uproot the weeds to avoid future troubles.
As for four or five gnolls, they fled in the direction of the Swadian peasants in a panic, trying to make a breakthrough.
But he was cut off on the head with a scythe, and he couldn’t even get close.
Although these Swadian farmers are good at farming, they still have a basic concept of combat.
The Calradia continent in the game has also been dominated by war for decades. There are countless robbers and robbers. These farmers have also learned how to use the tools they rely on to survive and transform them into weapons to protect themselves.
What’s more, the scythes with the long-handled scythes are closely arranged, even the cavalry are not willing to charge hard!
The battle is over.
At the same time, in Kant’s mind, a sound from the system has also appeared.
[Ding…After a fight, the enemy was defeated]
[Temporary mission: “Gnoll’s sneak attack” completed]
[Reward: Date Palm × 20 (full fruit period)]
[Evaluation: This is a lively battle, although it is dominated by your allies, it is always a victory. ]
With a helpless smile, Kant automatically ignored the systematic review.
This is impossible.
If it weren’t for the 20 cavalry from the Lion Principality, it is estimated that Kant, the only 30 Swadian peasants, would have suffered more than half of the casualties, and they would not necessarily be able to defeat these gnolls.
“20 date palm trees?”
On Kant’s retina, a dialog box also automatically appeared, with a picture of a date palm on it.
The 10-meter trunk is straight, the branches and leaves are lush and green, and the bunches of dates under the canopy are condensed, sweet and huge, densely packed together, which is quite appetizing.
Traditional crops cannot be grown in desert areas.
And this kind of date palm tree, which is known for its cold and drought resistance, is the most reliable food support in the desert. During the fruit production period from October to February of the next year, the condensed date palm is the staple food of the desert people. , known as desert bread.
As the lord of the Naron Desert, Kant needs this kind of date palm even more!
While rejoicing, another dialog box appeared.
[Ding…Someone in your army can be upgraded]
Kant’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Can someone upgrade?” He quickly opened the system interface.
Just in the system interface, there is a “+” symbol representing the upgrade on the image symbolizing the 30 Swadian farmers.
This is not the description of the system quest, but the reward of this battle.
[Upgradable units: Swadian Farmer × 10]
[Cost 10 dinars per person, can be upgraded to: Swadian Recruit]
The system continues to pop up two dialog boxes.
“I can afford 100 dinars.”
Without any hesitation, Kant silently said: “System, upgrade directly!”
This is an option that must be upgraded, because only the upgraded Swadian recruits are the troops that can really rely on combat. Although they are the weakest, they are much stronger than these Swadian farmers. .
With Kant’s affirmation, a mysterious presence instantly enveloped the 10 Swadian peasants beside him.
Immediately afterwards, these 10 farmers changed slightly.
Some kind of data link that only Kant can see is entangled. The height of 1.8 meters has not changed, but the whole body has grown stronger.
The equipment changes on the body are even greater.
The linen robe becomes a better defensive leather armor, and the hood becomes a leather cap.
The long-handled scythe originally held in the hand has also become a standard spear, with a length of 2.3 meters standing upright, no less than the cavalry spears in the hands of the cavalry of the male lion duchy.
A broad shield made of simple pieces of wood appeared on his back, and a hatchet was attached to his waist.
It seems that their 10 Swadian recruits finally got rid of their peasant appearance and became real soldiers!
“Finally has its own armed forces.”
Kant breathed a sigh of relief.
These 10 Swadian recruits are just the beginning, and more advanced classes await him.
And now, he doesn’t need to rely entirely on the cavalry of the Principality of Lions. After all, after these cavalry **** him to the sentry oasis, they will leave directly and will not stay at all.
“Lord Baron, everything has been resolved.”
After Kant upgraded his troops, Captain Rowan also returned with his cavalry.
He looked at the 10 Swadian recruits with spears in surprise, glanced at the broad shield on his back and the leather armor on his body, and asked subconsciously, “Where did these people… come from? “
“There are so many dangers in the desert, you always need to buy some weapons and prepare more.” Kant didn’t explain too much.
Rowan nodded understandingly and didn’t ask any further questions.
He naturally saw that these soldiers with spears were the peasants before, but with leather armor, spears, and wide shields, they were actually not much different from other peasants with long scythes.
The other cavalrymen also glanced in amazement, then dismounted and began to rest.
To them, it makes perfect sense.
It is absolutely impossible for this baron to take office in the Naron Desert with only 30 despicable farmers. It is normal to buy some weapons and armor to give these farmers some fighting power.
Even these cavalrymen secretly despised.
In the army of the Principality of Lions, these Swadian recruits can only be conscripted militia like cannon fodder.
“Return to camp.”
Kant didn’t seem to see the sarcasm in those cavalry’s eyes, and continued to arrange his own orders.
The sun is quite blazing. Now they are standing on the sand dunes. After the fierce battle, they all feel a little dizzy and short of breath. If they don’t get a good rest, they will probably suffer from heat stroke.
Even those war horses had foam in their mouths and noses, and squeaked their noses restlessly.
“Close the team, go back and feed our horses some water.” Rowan is also arranging those subordinate cavalry.
For the cavalry, the warhorse is their companion.
Everyone headed towards the temporary camp under the hill. After the battle, they urgently needed a good rest.
However, the last cavalry with a warhorse stood at the top of the dune, pointed to the north and shouted in surprise: “God of war Emond is above, look, that is…that is the sentry oasis?”
“What?”
Everyone looked up in amazement ~IndoMTL.com~ and looked at the cavalry on the dune that seemed to be turned into a stone statue.
Kant swallowed and recovered first.
He walked up the sand dune quickly, and followed the direction the cavalry pointed to the north. At the end of the horizon, in the khaki color, a little bit of green was faintly visible.
This is clear.
The only green that can appear in the desert is an oasis!
“We’re here.”
Kant couldn’t help muttering to himself, his teeth clenched: “Sentry…Oasis.”
Everyone climbed to the top of the dune and looked at the green in the distance.
All of them had a dull look on their faces, but there was unparalleled excitement in their eyes.
After 6 days of hard trekking, they finally arrived at their destination, the southern part of the Nalen Desert, which belongs to Baron Kant’s fief, the sentry oasis!
“Hooray!”
The cavalry cheered loudly.
This means that they can finally go home.
Instead of slowing down to wait for the carriage and peasants, just ride back.
In 3 days, you will be able to return to the territory of the Principality of Lions and enjoy the comfortable life that was once accustomed to!
“Okay.”
Kant’s voice sounded, recalling the excited thinking of this group of people.
Carrying the light crossbow on his shoulders, Kant looked at the cavalry of the lion principality and said, “Maybe at this time, we should stay in the tent and have a nice lunch.”
“You’re right, Lord Baron.” Rowan smiled and nodded.
The other cavalrymen agreed, leading their horses and slowly walking down the dunes.
The Sentinel Oasis is about to arrive, and everyone is in a good mood.
But not Kant.
