The Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 159: Terrible death toll

Views:

But looking at Fatis, the smile on Kant's face subsided.

Breathing calmly in his heart, since he has known the happy things first, he should know the unhappy reports now, Kant asked calmly, "How about the casualties of my soldiers in this battle?"

"Somewhat tragic."

Fatis stood up and bowed to salute, his face very serious.

"Say." Kant narrowed his eyes.

Hearing Fatis' words, Manid and Jocelyn also fell silent.

This is indeed a topic to be taken seriously.

Taking a deep breath, Fatis said in a deep voice: "As for the city wall, 13 of the 20 Ravenston rangers were killed, 37 of the 100 Vikia archers were killed, and 40 of the 50 Swadian crossbowmen were killed. "

As the commander of the city wall, Kant was already mentally prepared.

You can hear the report now.

His complexion still began to turn ugly, the casualties were indeed beyond his expectation.

With a gloomy face, Kant said: "Continue."

"Yes." Fatis nodded.

After organizing his language a bit, he continued to report in a deep voice: "37 of the 50 Swadian infantrymen were killed in battle, and 500 Swadian militiamen... were killed in battle..." Speaking of this, his tone paused, as if hesitant.

"Keep talking." Kant urged with a frown.

Fatis finally sighed softly, and said in a deep voice: "500 Swadian militiamen were killed... 312 people."

"What." Manid exclaimed.

As the commander in charge of the top floor of the attic, he led the 500 militiamen to launch a counterattack against the Gnolls.

At that time, when the 500 Swadian militiamen were stationed on the attic of the city wall, the 5 hundred-man formation was quite complete, but after they were dispatched to support the attic of the city wall and the city gate, the death rate was directly more than half. This huge number of militia troops were all disabled. If the battle lasted longer, it is estimated that the entire army would be wiped out!

Kant was silent, Jocelyn was silent, Manid and Fatis were equally silent.

This battle is too tragic.

All the troops in charge of defending the city had a death rate of more than half.

Kant didn't feel it when he left the city walls and gates. Now that he heard the report, although it was just numbers and not the corpses, his heart was still very heavy. After all, these were his soldiers.

Breathing calmly, Kant let his emotions relax, and at the same time continued to ask: "Where are the cavalry?"

"Cavalry suffered less casualties."

Fatis opened his mouth, and finally his tone was no longer dignified: "10 knights, 5 Mamluks, 87 heavy cavalry, 40 Sarande cavalry, 40 elite desert bandits, 70 desert bandits, no one was killed, only a few dozen People are slightly injured, and it does not affect the next battle, it is a skin trauma that does not need treatment."

"Very good." Kant then exhaled the suffocation in his chest.

This is his real ace unit right now.

The 5th-level cavalry trained before had no casualties, and the 4th-level cavalry was also intact, which is enough.

However, unexpectedly, none of the 40 elite desert bandits, as well as the 50 selected by Kant in the lottery and the 20 desert bandits recruited in the new week, were also killed, which made him more depressed because of the large number of deaths. some surprises.

Although the desert robbers are around level 3 cavalry.

But after all, it is also a cavalry.

These light cavalry form a group, and with the heavy cavalry behind the coordinated charge, the crushing effect caused is still powerful, and when dealing with emergencies, they can rush there as soon as possible, which is much more flexible than the heavy cavalry.

Looking at the three people across the long table.

Kant also spoke, nodded slightly, and said calmly: "At least, we won the victory."

"Yes." The three nodded in response.

With a force of about 800, they fought against 3,000 Gnoll fighters who were at least level 5 infantry. These tragic losses were justified. After all, in terms of melee combat, these Gnoll fighters were not those who were malnourished and physically weak. Gnolls can be compared to slaughter machines on the battlefield.

All of them are 2.3 meters tall and weigh 300 kilograms. Because of sufficient nutrition, they are full of muscles.

Equipped with well-made chain mail and a two-handed battle ax made of all iron.

This is why the Swadian infantry, which is a level 4 infantry and known for its defensive power in the game, cannot withstand the crazy attacks of those gnolls. After all, slashing with two-handed weapons is extremely powerful.

Among the troops similar to the Vikia Kingdom, the Moonblade Ax is the favorite equipment.

However, the attack power and fighting experience of these gnoll fighters can be compared to the only 6th-level soldiers, known as the strongest and most invincible infantry fighters in the entire Calradia continent, the Nord royal guards.

So far Kant summed it up in his mind.

In this battle, based on the real situation, he won by luck.

If he hadn't destroyed the Gnoll Expeditionary Force in advance and the pre-set supplies in the Nalun Desert, it is estimated that the "Drehem" fortress had already been conquered, and the sentry oasis had already been given away.

Most importantly, he wiped out that lowly wolf man tribe.

Destroyed that well.

Let this expeditionary army not only lose all their supplies, but hunger and thirst made them weak, and they didn't rush forward when they attacked the city, and they were used as cannon fodder for death, and they were low-level gnolls who used them as stepping corpses.

If all this existed.

Kant can imagine the situation of the battle.

The full-spirited formation of the Jackal Expeditionary Army with sufficient supplies, just like now, is 3,000 people forming 5 square formations.

And just ahead.

It is a queue of low-level gnolls in chaos, centered on 3,000 low-level gnolls from the tribe, and 2,000 low-level gnolls from other areas in the desert. More than 5,000 people, howling began to move towards " The two gates of the fortress of Drehem" were attacked, and more and more corpses fell.

And those high-ranking gnolls held up the corpses as a shield and approached.

Then he piled up the corpses on the city wall, and quickly piled up the slope, enough for the expeditionary army behind to rush up the 5-meter-high city wall in one go, and enter the human fortress to start the massacre.

Eventually the crossbowmen on the walls will be wiped out.

The infantry and cavalry who resisted stubbornly retreated into the governing hall.

But by then, it would be too late.

The best result of luck is that Kant can only let the existing elite troops use his own life to fight a bloody way, and finally escape the fallen "Drehem" fortress with a few people. Looking at the sentry oasis with black smoke rising, he had no choice but to return to the Principality of Lions and hide his identity. Maybe there is still a chance to borrow the temporary mission of the system to make a comeback.

If you are unlucky, you will be chopped into meat paste by the high-ranking wolf man who rushed up on the spot.

Kant was in awe.

This was indeed a fluke. Fortunately, he disrupted all the previous arrangements of the Gray Mane Kingdom.

Whether intentional or not.

It was Kant who finally won this victory.

Sentry Oasis.

Southern Nalun Desert.

As this battle was completely brought under Kant's control.

"Continue to clean the battlefield in the afternoon."

Kant calmed down the ups and downs in his heart, looked at Fatis and Manid and said, "Report to me after all the statistics."

"Understood." The two nodded.

Lunch is over soon.

There are still a lot of trivial matters waiting for them to deal with in the sentry oasis.

Including the treatment of injured soldiers and the burial of dead soldiers, both of them need to be there to arrange it in person.

Kant, on the other hand, had more important matters to attend to.

System settlement after the war.

Just as Manid complimented before, saying that this was an epic victory, for Kant, this is indeed the case, because the system has given the best judgment to prove the brilliant achievement of winning this battle.

"I'm done eating."

Wiping the corner of his mouth, Kant put down the knife and fork.

After chatting with the three of them a few more words, he pushed away the chair and got up to leave, returning to his room.

Now it's time for him to take care of things.

Retina popup dialog.

[Ding... system prompt]

[You defeated a powerful enemy with a weak force, which can be called a perfect victory.]

[This is an epic victory]

[You have obtained 10 points of honor, 5000 points of reputation]

Kant's breathing was a little short.

But he is definitely not just because of this dialog box.

Just below, another dialog pops up.

[Ding... system prompt]

[The result of this battle was sent back to Calradia, causing a storm of discussion.]

[This is a legendary evaluation]

[You have obtained 10 points of honor, 5000 points of reputation]

Look at the dialog box on retina.

With Kant's current good mental control ability, he feels a little dry.

This is no ordinary reward.

two ratings.

[Epic Victory] and [Legendary Rating]

The direct benefits are 20 points of honor and 10,000 reputation!

"very good."

Kant sat on a chair in his room with a smile on his lips.

This is the real post-war welfare.

What can be handled today, then choose to deal with it today, Kant's consistent creed.

The data flow in his eyes began to flicker, and his thoughts had already communicated with the system, and he said in a deep voice: "System, immediately open the lottery mall, and directly conduct 10 consecutive draws!"

Kant's tone was affirmative.

But the system still pops up a dialog box to ask as usual.

[Ding... system prompt]

[10 consecutive draws will reward 1 extra draw]

[Yes/No now?]

"Yes." Kant did not hesitate.

The system reacts.

On the retina in front of my eyes, the dialog box refreshed.

A multicolored treasure chest appeared there, and it opened and closed faintly, releasing a little hidden multicolored light, with that kind of heart-piercing wonderful light, as if it wanted to absorb all eyes.

It is exactly what Kant needs.

In other words, after opening this treasure chest, a system gift package appeared!
