Kant's character is to do what he says.
Moreover, reoccupying the salt mine is also the main strategic policy for the development of the sentry oasis.
Kant didn't want to see such a situation that allowed those wolf men who were defeated and scattered to gain a foothold in the salt mines and tribal ruins, and then developed into a not weak tribe over time.
Although the Nalun Desert has a vast territory, its resources are extremely scarce.
Kant only allowed one force to survive and develop in this barren land, and that was himself.
As for the life and death of those jackals.
What does it have to do with him
After lunch at noon and a short rest, the order to assemble has been issued.
The 20 Salander riders and 25 elite desert bandits were all present, waiting in full force outside the eastern city gate. Seeing the man riding on the horse whispering to each other, with a smirk on his face, it was obvious that the expedition had not been released. on heart.
These bandits from the Sarande Desert have always been fearless.
With Kant around, there is no need to worry about getting into danger by underestimating the enemy.
They are all desert bandits licking blood on their knives. They underestimate the enemy because of their unruly habits. Although life and death are at stake, no one wants to really think about it. With Kant leading them, they will only be more cautious.
This time, cleaning up the Gnolls occupying the ruined wells and salt mines was just one of the missions.
It also includes coarse salt from the salt mine, so bring it back and boil a batch as soon as possible.
There's not much patience on the Stone Pass side.
"Ready?"
Kant walked out of the city gate, looking at the 55 cavalry in front of him, his face softened slightly.
time does not wait.
It takes a day to go from the sentry oasis to the ruins of the tribe, not to mention the time spent to go to the natural salt mine, one back and forth, plus boiled salt, and then lead the team to the stone pass, it will take a long time.
In this way, it will take a week.
Fatis followed behind, and hearing a little anxiety in Kant's voice, he said, "It's all ready."
This attack was arranged by him. After thinking about it in his mind and confirming that it was correct, he said in a firm tone: "The camels and supplies are also fully prepared. After arriving at the natural salt mine, you can directly mine coarse salt and bring it back."
"Well done." Kant nodded in satisfaction.
Not far from these Salanders, 10 dromedary camels were standing there honestly.
The bulging sacks hung on the back of the hunchback were all food, water sacks, and bags used to hold coarse salt for this trip to the depths of the Nalun Desert. They were looked after by 10 farmers who went with them as entourages, and they were quite well prepared. .
The Swadian infantry brought Kant's horse.
Stepping on the stirrups, Kan Deli turned on his horse, pulled up his hood and said, "Get ready to go."
"Ready to go!"
When the Salander riders heard it, the leader immediately yelled.
The originally neat formation of cavalry gradually dispersed, and the Sarande horse under his crotch snorted and began to move. With the pull of the rein, the horse's head was turned, and it slowly trotted towards the predetermined direction.
And Fatis walked a few steps quickly, and said to Kant: "My lord, do you really need to follow more people?"
"No need." Kant shook his head.
Looking at the Swadian infantry on standby on the city wall and the light infantry patrolling around the oasis, Kant said solemnly: "Your task is to garrison the fortress, communicate more with Manid, and assign the respective areas of responsibility. , I don’t want to wait until I come back to find that my territory is a mess.”
"Understood, Lord Kant." Fatis said solemnly.
But there was still worry on his face.
After patrolling the depths of the Nalun Desert for many days, Fatis knew very well that even the defeated gnolls, there were still a lot of small gnoll tribes scattered in the desert.
"Don't worry." Kant noticed his worry, smiled lightly and shook his head, patted his side and said, "I still have this."
It was a long stick-shaped object in a long, thin linen bag.
The length is like the spear or spear used by the cavalry, but the appearance is slightly bloated, and it seems to be wrapped in something.
[Awe-inspiring momentum]
What Kant currently possesses is a miracle that can be called an artifact.
Seeing the collected flag, Fatis's worried face eased a little, but he still reminded: "My lord, fighting on the battlefield is very dangerous. If you can, please pay attention to safety before considering the danger on the battlefield." win or lose."
"Well, I will pay attention." Kant nodded, shook the rein, turned around and galloped the horse.
Horseshoes sink into the sand, leaving shallow pits.
The speed of the whole team began to increase, heading towards the depths of the Nalun Desert.
Time is tight, and they have to go to the ruins of the tribe as quickly as possible.
There is the only source of water around there, and the defeated and scattered gnolls will definitely gather again in the ruins, although they are not as huge as before, and even without the gnoll shaman who has mastered the mysterious power, ordinary gnolls The quantity will certainly not be too small.
With the current 20 Sarande riders and 25 elite desert bandits, even though they are light cavalry, there is absolutely no problem in directly attacking the formation of these ordinary gnolls, crushing them, and defeating them again.
The frightened bird, once again, twice.
What's more, [Position to Intimidate the Enemy] is not a vegetarian.
Take the lead in reducing morale for one round, and continue to reduce morale as the enemy dies. After a few rounds of morale reduction, it is almost a negative number. How can it continue to resist and fight Kant and the others like a desperate battle
This is simply impossible!
The footprints and traces left by the expedition last month are still clearly visible.
There is very little wind in the Nalun Desert, so these footprints and ruts on the sand dunes need to be eliminated unless there is a sandstorm that is rare in a hundred years, or it will be eliminated after time passes and the wind blows slowly.
But this time, at least a few months.
Therefore, Kant and the others didn't care that there would be mistakes in the route.
Following the traces of the past, the team moved forward quickly, but it was quiet along the way, and did not encounter too many wolf men.
The usual thirty or forty wolf men turned around and fled when they met Kant. They looked panic-stricken. It was obvious that they were extremely afraid of Kant and his light cavalry, and they dared not fight against them.
At first Kant ordered them to be killed.
But it's basically a waste of time for nothing.
Therefore, when moving forward, if you encounter a small group of gnolls, you will ignore them at all. Unless there are about a hundred or so, which may cause a little harm to the sentry oasis, Kant will brazenly order, holding the banner of a golden lion on a red background, to bring The team smashed them down and slaughtered them all in the desert to prevent future troubles.
The speed of the troops is still very fast.
Salander horses and desert horses are horse breeds suitable for desert areas.
The dromedary is known as the ship of the desert. Although it is not as good as a horse in a short-distance burst, it is worse than a long-distance trek in endurance.
This is the main reason for the guaranteed forward speed.
Fortunately, Kant's camel and horse did not have any accidents.
According to previous life experience, horses are extremely sensitive to the smell of camels and will be quite afraid. The camel will be irritable against the horse. Putting the two together, it is estimated that it has been a mess for a long time, and it can't be handed over.
This is why the camel cavalry is the absolute nemesis of the horse cavalry.
That's why.
However, this type of combat can only appear in desert areas. After all, in flat grasslands or other plain areas, horse cavalry with strong mobility are not afraid of slow-moving camel cavalry.
But in the desert, the role of camel cavalry is extremely strong.
This was shown once in a desert in a certain part of the planet.
In history, the Arabs rode camels and overthrew the elite horse cavalry of countless empires in the desert, even including the Byzantine Empire, the Sasanian Persian Empire, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire.
To be honest, Kant was also quite interested in this.
But think about the fact that there is no standard camel cavalry in the current riding and cutting, so I can only choose to give up.
Troops are moving fast.
Rest at dusk, prepare dinner, continue to set off after nightfall, and don't camp until late at night to sleep.
Hurrying at dawn, we soon approached the ruins of the tribe.
From the sentry oasis to the ruins of the wolf man tribe, it can be reached in one day with only cavalry. Even with accompanying infantry, more than two days is enough, and the distance is not too far.
Kant rode his horse up the dunes, followed by 10 Salander riders as guards.
"There are no sentries."
These Salander riders who already belonged to the regular army reported.
Kant snorted coldly: "It seems that these jackals thought we let them go?"
Not even a sentinel, really very courageous.
Staring at the bottom of the sand dunes, on the originally flat desert, there is still a large area that has been burned by fire, and there are ruins and ashes everywhere.
But amidst the ruins, another dilapidated tent was erected.
"Wait, that's..."
But Kant narrowed his eyes, and he found something unusual.
Among these tattered linen tents, there are more than a dozen tents made of brand new linen cloth. Kant even glanced over there. These brand new tents have a clear demarcation line from other tattered tents.
Just like the Chu River and Han Realm, although they are close, the two will never intersect.
Even the jackals in those simple tents didn't dare to get close.
As if there was some great horror.
Kant was not surprised by this.
Because he had already discovered that what appeared in these brand-new tents were Jackals wearing chain mail and holding two-handed battle axes. The hair on their bodies was clean and smooth. They were definitely not low-level Wolf men living in these deserts.
"Higher Gnoll, is it coming again?" He said slowly.
