PS: Recommend friends "Super Recruiting Warehouse"! The second chapter has been pushed, which shows that the quality of the book is absolutely good. Everyone can go and have a look at the book shortage, the top ten books on the new book list!
"Get up." Kant stretched out his hands on the horse and said, "There is no need for so many etiquette."
These are trusty light cavalry.
At the same time, Kant's eyes swept over their bodies. The linen robes and the leather armor inside were dirty, and sand grains could be seen in their hair.
Can't help frowning slightly, Kant asked: "Has the sandstorm lasted here?"
"Yes." The desert robbers nodded with lingering fear: "It lasted the whole night and ended in the morning."
"What's the loss of the station?" Kant asked with a frown.
"Fortunately, before the sandstorm came, we all returned to the post station and blocked the doors and windows with wooden boards and blankets, without any loss." The desert robbers replied.
"That's good." Kant nodded.
The desert bandits are all Sarandes, and they are also a race in the desert.
They know how to deal with the terrifying sandstorms in the desert.
However, these desert robbers still shrugged their shoulders and said gloatingly: "Those spy caravans who came to our station to inquire about the situation suffered heavy losses. There were originally more than 40 caravans, and there were more than 30 left after the sandstorm. Others dared to go deep into the desert. Or caravans without sand dunes to hide from, it is estimated that many of them were buried alive in the sand."
"Yes, they did suffer heavy losses." Another desert robber also added: "It is said that the patrol team that went south in the early morning rescued more than 30 lucky people who survived in the sand, but found more corpses. .”
"That's right." Kant nodded.
The strong wind swept across the desert, carrying countless sand particles and speeding, which can be called terrifying.
Even those who are prepared can't survive the sandstorm in the open desert, not to mention the unprepared businessmen of the Lion Principality, who have suffered heavy losses, but for everyone.
Some unlucky guys probably lost their entire army in this violent sandstorm.
"It's terrible news."
Kant shook his head and said something casually.
This is out of pity for the fragility of life.
But next to them, the seven mage apprentices lowered their heads, their faces even more ashamed.
The reason for this terrifying sandstorm is not that they are not good at learning. They have not yet mastered this advanced magic experiment, but they want to show their knowledge in front of Kant, the lord, and finally caused such a bad situation. The consequence is to make them ashamed and feel guilty.
It's not the guilt of these buried caravans, but the guilt of causing trouble to Lord Kant. They are loyal to Kant and have no mercy for other natives in this world.
Scholars are sometimes indifferent and cruel, not to mention mages who have mastered the mysteries of the world.
"Let's keep going."
Kant tapped the horse's belly lightly, signaling the horse under his crotch to move forward.
But the direction is not that of the station.
"My lord, don't you plan to go to the station for a rest?" The desert robbers were a little surprised, and quickly comforted them: "The sandstorm has just passed, and there is still wind. I don't know if it will appear again. For safety reasons, you go to Stop at the post station for a while, wait for the wind to stop, and make sure the weather and weather are normal before setting off."
"No, in a short time, there may be no more sandstorms."
Kant shook his head and rejected their proposal.
He had planned to go quickly to the "Aaron" village in the Sanwaya Mountains, and had no intention of resting at the post station.
Because there are many people in the post station.
If those caravan spies find out that he is leading a team, and he is not going to the stone pass, there will be trouble. After all, the "Aaron" village hidden in the Sanwaya Mountains is his second base. The more important key node of Dherim" castle, the future agricultural center!
In order to ensure the concealment of his march and prevent the village of "Aaron" from being exposed, Kant did not intend to enter the post station, but instead told the desert robbers, "Tell Rolf to strengthen his guard recently."
"Yes, my lord!"
Seeing that Kant had made up his mind to go, the desert bandits nodded respectfully and watched the heavy cavalry leave.
There are also patrols of other desert bandits scattered around the dunes.
Often when seeing Kant, they dismounted respectfully and half-kneeled to salute.
The patrol near the post station was very strict. At least when Kant waved his hand to signal them to continue patrolling, he did not find any caravan spies. The march was very quiet and concealed.
Obviously, under the attack of these patrols, those spy caravans with ulterior motives really disappeared.
If you don't listen to the advice, you will still go deep.
These desert bandits will not hold back.
Kant gave Rolf a lot of rights, and let him control life and death.
This represents the full delegation of military power to Rolf.
When encountering any caravan relying on the strength of the backing, daring to draw their swords, or determined to go their own way, Rolf will not hesitate to issue an attack order.
After a few rounds of javelin rain, and an additional round of charging with guns, basically these caravans who dared to ignore his warnings turned into corpses. Caravans who dare to move on, what kind of killings will they face as a result of going on.
In the khaki sand layer, these corpses are very abrupt, and they can be seen from a long distance.
Kant and they moved on.
Materials are well prepared in advance.
For example, drinking water, each person has a 5-day amount, including the drinking water of the horse under the crotch.
The water bladder alone occupies most of the space in the backpack on both sides of the horse. As for the ordinary food, it is easy. After all, it is impossible to eat too much during the long journey, so as not to cause stomach problems.
Continue day and night, resting only in the cold late night and midday scorching sun.
Finally approached the outskirts of the Sanwaya Mountains at dusk on the fourth day.
We quickly found the way into the mountain. At the entrance, there were 5 desert bandits who had set up temporary tents and guarded them.
They are orderlies.
The five desert robbers who conveyed information about the village of "Aaron" were from their team.
"My lord."
Seeing Kant and his team approaching, he rode out immediately, saluted respectfully, and said with excitement on his face, "It's really exciting. You are finally here at the key stone."
"How's the situation in the village?" Kant asked bluntly.
"Fortunately, the pressure is not too great."
The desert robber also quickly replied: "Mr. Bandak and Mr. James have personally led the team to contain the demonized creatures in the ruins, and there is no sign of spreading. However, it was reported yesterday that more Demonic creatures began to appear deep in the ancient passage, causing certain casualties to the garrison troops."
"The situation is critical." Kant frowned and said solemnly: "I know." At the same time, he turned his head and greeted the heavy cavalry behind him: "Let's enter the mountains, hurry up!"
"Yes!" The Swadian heavy cavalry behind them responded in a deep voice.
Although the desert robber said it easily, he could still perceive the increasing crisis.
The defenders urgently need reinforcements!
The rumbling horseshoes stepped on the solid mountain soil, all of them entered the pre-built stone paved road, and moved towards the village of "Aaron" deep in the mountains at a faster speed to support them.
There are not many defenders in Aaron.
Except for the Ravenston Rangers who have 10 people a week, the upgrade of those Rhodoks alone can't satisfy too many battles.
When the arms are upgraded, battle damage will also occur.
Even reaching 20 low-level Rhodoks can be upgraded by 3 senior Rhodoks spearmen.
As for the top Rhodok sergeants, it was even more tragic.
Without piles of Rhodoks upgrading layer by layer, it is absolutely impossible to use life to pave the way. Even in this world, Kant has other arms to cooperate, and the loss ratio required for upgrading is somewhat ugly.
In contrast, the upgrade of the Kingdom of Swadia is reflected.
More than 3,000 people fought bloody battles, and after experiencing all kinds of tragic battles, they finally had the 4th and 5th-level arms with less than 500 people. Although the elites have to go through training, this training is too cruel.
"Boom boom boom—"
The hooves of the horses beat violently on the paved road.
Kant rode his horse in front, leading the cavalry and mage apprentices, galloping along the riverside road at an extremely fast speed.
The flow of the small river next to it has been reduced by nearly half.
Reminiscent of the information reported by the desert robbers, the amount of water flowing backward from the underground river in the ruins has decreased, so the ancient passage built in the age of mythology appeared, and the reason for the decrease in the amount of water in the small river appeared.
However, Kant was also slightly thankful that he did not establish a small fishing ground here.
If it is built here, it is estimated that as the water volume drops, a large number of fish raised in the fishing ground will die.
The springs or lakes obtained by drawing a lottery are still useful.
Simply relying on the nature of this world is too random, and there may not necessarily be errors.
In the future, the "Aaron" village will be the center of agriculture, planting and breeding, so it must not be careless.
Soon came to the bottom of the mountain.
A large amount of water gushing out from cracks in the mountain, like a fountain, has lost its former splendor, leaving only small streams of water still emerging, barely forming a small pool in this area, but even the pond at that time It couldn't be maintained, and the water volume dropped quite quickly.
In the watchtowers at the four corners of the wall, the Ravenston rangers stationed there had discovered Kant’s arrival. James immediately led the team and arranged for people to open the wooden fence gates of the wall, allowing Kant and the heavy cavalry to walk directly along the road. dash forward.
"Call—"
Kant rode his horse to the top of the mountain, reined in the reins, and signaled the horse under his crotch to stop.
After sweeping through the governing hall, the 20 houses, the mill building, and the busy civilians, he said to James who was walking by with satisfaction, "Well done, the village looks very good."
