"Call—"
Kant tightened the reins, and the horse under his crotch finally slowed down in the gallop of the charge.
The Sarande riders and desert robbers beside him also reined in their horses and slowed down, huddled around Kant, holding the scimitar tightly in their trembling right hands, and their faces were extremely stern.
Having just gone through a charge, they crushed the enemies who dared stand in their way.
Even now.
These thugs from the Sarande Desert couldn't believe it.
They didn't understand how confident these gnoll heavy infantry had to bear the charge of the spear cavalry, who had entered their peak stage.
Even if they disperse, it is impossible to be completely wiped out in the first round of charge.
It also caused their right hands to tremble now.
It wasn't because of excitement, let alone fear, but because of the instantaneous reaction force when they came into contact with the Jackal heavy infantry when they charged with their guns, their right hands and arms, which had been trained in charging, suffered a lot. .
If it is fully recovered, it is estimated that it will take two or three days.
And if you want to continue a charge of this scale and intensity, although it is possible, it will cause irreversible damage to your arm.
Fortunately, the battle has come to an end.
"it's over."
Kant's voice sounded, with a little tiredness.
Trekking all the way here, charging directly before resting, really consumed a lot of their physical strength.
More than thirty jackals who dared to resist were killed on the spot.
And the more than three hundred low-level gnolls around turned into scattered routs, and disappeared into the vast sand sea around them without even daring to resist. May be organized to counterattack.
In fact, no gnolls organized a counterattack.
No gnoll, not even these ferocious and uncivilized lowly gnolls, would ever grow impatient.
They all know how to be afraid.
"Lord Kant, do you still need to hunt them down?"
The rider beside Salander spoke.
And the Sarande riders around were also eager to try, their eyes swept over the surrounding sand dunes, with undisguised excitement and naked killing intent in their eyes, because they felt that they had reached a certain critical point.
A quantitative change leads to a qualitative change, which can be called the critical point of a new life.
But Kant rejected their pursuit request: "No need."
Exhaling slowly, Kant ordered in a deep voice: "Let our camel caravan come over and rest here at the temporary camp in Anza. These fleeing gnolls can't escape our war horses anyway. I don't want any accidents. "
"Understood." A desert bandit elite nodded, and immediately rode his horse towards the sand dunes where he was charging.
When they charged, they left behind the camel caravan and the peasants.
These dromedary camels loaded with supplies and peasants holding only long-handled scythes are not heroic and invincible cavalry on the battlefield. It's not something they can compete with.
Kant is no longer needed, let the low-level infantry fight with their lives to create the future.
These light cavalry from Sarande are enough to deal with most problems.
Soon, 10 peasants hiding behind the sand dunes, holding long-handled sickles in their arms, led the 10 dromedary camels down at the same time, their faces were beaming, and they all knew the victory of the battle.
"Put up the tents."
Kant stared at the surrounding open space, and at the same time ordered carefully: "Go and see the well, I hope there is no problem."
"Understood." The accompanying farmers acted immediately.
The elite desert robbers also dismounted consciously, and they all helped to set up the tent together. At the same time, they found a temporary stove, lit a fire and began to prepare food. They haven't had breakfast yet, and their stomachs are rumbling.
As for those Salander riders, they were responsible for cleaning the battlefield.
Even without Kant's arrangement, they can still do it in an orderly manner.
The tent is set up.
The bunkers inside have also been dug.
The ready-made tent was lit, the wood brought in was added, and the makeshift grill was officially completed.
Slices of bread, dried meat and sausages are all warmed up by the campfire.
A few more dates, and that's breakfast.
Of course, everyone also had a piece of date palm honey candy that was successfully made yesterday. The delicious and sweet feeling immediately filled the mouth, which satisfied the soldiers who were used to eating salty and hard air-dried meat.
There is also cool well water drawn from the well for the soldiers who have traveled for a long time to wash and scrub their bodies.
This kind of leisurely feeling doesn't feel like coming to war, but like an outing.
The winner is the treat.
After breakfast, Kant also took a little shower. The cold well water was wiped on his face and body with a towel. The exhaustion from the journey last night seemed to be swept away, and he became refreshed after this hearty battle.
Go to the well not far away.
The edge of the well was still pitch black from the fire, but the water wheel that had been burned out had been replaced with a new one.
It seems that those high-level gnolls changed it.
Not only for the important hydration, but also to wash their body hair. Compared with the low-level gnolls who don't know what etiquette is, these high-level gnolls obviously pay more attention to their external manifestations.
"My lord, this well cannot be kept."
The Sarande rider following Kant spoke in a solemn tone: "This will be a boost to the enemy."
"That's right." Kant nodded.
The high-level gnolls reappeared here, so the expeditionary force mentioned by the captive Assage at the beginning is estimated to appear in the southern part of the Nalun Desert, and this place with water wells will also be their first stop.
It can be guessed that it will take 30 days to cross the edge of the devil's land without the slightest water and vegetation.
Even with a lot of supplies, it is estimated that they will be exhausted when they come here.
The expeditionary force of the Greymane Kingdom urgently needed to replenish drinking water. This two-meter-diameter well directly connected to the groundwater, which was once able to meet the needs of nearly 2,000 gnolls, was their life-saving straw.
It is also the most beneficial help to capture the sentry oasis.
The sentry oasis is the truly qualified outpost, and those jackals will definitely not give up.
"This well must be destroyed."
Kant made up his mind.
He can ask the camel team to bring more water bags to solve the drinking water problem, and he is unwilling to leave this well as a supply station for the enemy.
This is irresponsible to oneself, which can lead to the most serious consequences.
Fortunately, they discovered it in time and sensed that the expedition army of the Graymane Kingdom was coming, so they only needed to open the edge of the well, and then pour a lot of sand into it to level the well with the surrounding ground without any traces. .
And if Kant wins later.
Or if you want to continue to develop here, you just need to look for this well carefully.
Well walls are ready-made.
Dig down along the wall of the stone well and dig up the sand again. This well connected to the groundwater will continue to appear in this desert and become Kant's help.
Of course, this is a secret that only Kant knows.
Those low-level gnolls would not clearly tell the location of the well.
This will make those gray-mane kingdom expeditionary forces who have worked so hard and finally reached the southern part of the Nalun Desert helpless. They will continue to march towards the sentry oasis with their tired bodies, and will eventually be dragged down by the desert, achieving Kant's victory.
Just do what you say, the peasants and cavalry who had finished breakfast, all came to help.
After replenishing the well water, they acted and hung up.
It doesn't take much effort to fill a water well in the desert, and the sand on the surrounding dunes is immeasurable.
Bags of sand were dumped into the well, sealing the bottom of the well.
This is no small project.
I was busy from morning to noon, and continued to be busy after the break. In the afternoon, more than 60 people finally filled the well with sand. Let this place become flat, and there will be no traces of a well once again.
Continue to rest, after dinner, Kant gave the order: "Let's go."
After a busy day, they have other important things to do.
The jackals in the natural salt mine still need to be cleaned up by them. The linen bags brought by the 10 dromedary camels must be filled with coarse salt before it can be considered a successful conclusion.
Taking advantage of dusk, they continued to move forward in the desert.
With the appearance of the stars, the chill has penetrated through the clothes, making it a little unbearable.
After estimating that they had traveled nearly half the distance, Kant ordered to continue camping.
They don't know whether there are any wolf men in the natural salt mine, let alone whether there will be more high-level wolf men, so keeping up their energy and physical strength is the key to going to the salt mine next.
Nothing happened overnight.
Woke up early the next morning.
Everyone continued to set off after breakfast, and soon came to the salt mine in the morning.
On the vast desert, the white saline-alkali land spreads to the horizon, which are precious resources formed after the salt lake dries up.
Kant looked around, but found no wolf man.
However, the tents that were destroyed during the previous visit, as well as the bodies of those gnolls, disappeared.
The specific situation is unknown.
But according to Kant's understanding of these gnolls living in the desert, when they are hungry, even the same kind are on the list of their recipes, and they will not have the slightest scruples at all, let alone some corpses.
"Farmers collect coarse salt, be quick."
Kant turned his head to order, and at the same time said in a deep voice: "Sarande's riders are on standby, and the desert robbers are scattered to investigate."
"Understood!" Everyone replied.
The time left for Kant is getting less and less.
He needs to continue to improve his strength in the shortest possible time.
Otherwise, when the expeditionary force of the Gray Mane Kingdom arrives, Kant still feels a little worried because he will completely rely on the protection of the current sentry oasis. After all, he does not know how many troops there will be.
But since these troops can carry out expeditions, there must be many of them, and they will not be too weak.
