The Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 235: The underground fortress at the end

Views:

The battle ended so easily.

A round of charge is resolved.

Compared with the Ravenston ranger and the Rhodok sniper crossbowman, it is obvious that these heavy cavalry have a more straightforward combat method, and they are also more direct on the battlefield situation.

So they are the winners.

Although demonized creatures are several times stronger than beasts.

But in the eyes of humans, it is just a horrible nightmare to recruit farmers and armed militias.

Ordinary knights with a little training of infantry can wipe out the demonized creatures invading the territory. It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of these demonized creatures is not much threat compared with real combat troops.

What's more, Kant's heavy cavalry troops directly crushed them in such a small space.

Or a heavy cavalry force composed entirely of knight-level strength.

These demonized creatures, poor as if they were innocent children, couldn't even fight back to cause serious injuries, so they were pierced by lances, their spines were cut off by sharp swords, and then they were trampled into a pile of mud by the heavy horseshoes.

For Kant, the battle was lighthearted, almost freehand.

He is the winner in the ancient passage.

Perhaps the only thing that could bring threats and troubles to Kant and his troops was the ferocious demonized creatures that he had encountered on the top of the mountain. This was the enemy Kant worried about.

With extraordinary power, even demonized creatures are quite terrifying.

It is a qualitative improvement in combat effectiveness!

As for these ordinary demonized creatures, Kant stretched out his hand expressionlessly, took out a linen cloth from his bosom and carefully wiped it clean. He had already stained the knight sword with pitch black blood.

There was deep disdain in his eyes.

He didn't pay attention at all.

In this battle, not to mention that he didn't use his most commonly used [Standard to Intimidate the Enemy].

Even as a novelty [Command Power], this horn that can increase morale, is still pinned to his waist.

Kant's two war wonders are only used when encountering difficult opponents.

These demonized creatures couldn't even stop the heavy cavalry charging with the status spell [Sharp Golden Blade]. Kant didn't need to do anything extra, and used these two strange objects to assist in the battle.

Although simple to use, it was unnecessary for Kant.

Thinking of the spellcasting of the mage apprentices, Kant turned his head to look at them, and praised him without hesitation: "Good job, I need you to maintain this state."

"Yes, my lord!"

The mage apprentices responded immediately, and everyone's faces were even more joyful.

Kant, who belonged to the supreme lord, praised them, which was even more exciting than the praise of the king of Enfass Empire. This was the joy from the soul level.

Kant's face returned to calm, and he reminded them: "Steady your heart, we should go."

"Understood." The mage apprentices nodded.

However, when the battle was over, those Swadian heavy cavalry who were originally arrogant and somewhat arrogant, looked a lot more kind to these mage apprentices. After all, in the battle just now , Their ability to exert the destructive power of charging at a super level has a lot to do with the spellcasting of these master apprentices.

It can make their charges more destructive, the spears are sharper, it is easier to pierce the enemy's body, and the long swords are stronger, which simply gives them more living armor-piercing attributes.

If what you encounter is not a demonized creature, but an enemy, this is the guarantee of breaking the armor!

Spells that make weapons sharper are really popular with them.

This is also one of the reasons why Kant considered bringing these mage apprentices.

Able to perceive the distance and number of enemies, and able to cast spells to increase the passive abilities of the units, these mage apprentices are well-deserved elite units of the Enfarth Empire.

Although it is still immature, it has already shown an important role.

"let's go!"

Kant tapped the horse's belly and continued to lead the team forward.

The rumbling iron cavalry continued to move forward.

However, continuing to go deep into the ancient passage, the number of demonized creatures encountered has decreased a lot.

In the middle of the fire, I baked the clothes that had already cooled down, boiled hot water at the same time, and baked and heated the prepared food, which was barely a meal.

It has been nearly 10 hours since they entered the ancient passage.

Nearly half a day.

However, in Kant's journey, they still haven't found the end of this road.

Just aimlessly straight forward.

It is still the 20-meter-wide underground river next to it, and the warrior relief on the stone wall next to it. Except for the traces of digging on the top of the head, there is almost no difference from the entrance road.

exactly the same.

Kant was dignified, and the movement of riding the horse forward also slowly decreased.

Holding a torch in one hand.

He looked at the still eternal darkness in front of him, and his face was a little depressed.

It took 10 hours to ride the horse, which was enough to cover nearly half the distance from the sentry oasis to the desert station, but there was still no change in this road, which made him wonder whether he had encountered some kind of monster from ancient times. Little tricks from the age of gods, lost direction, similar to spells like ghost hitting the wall

Otherwise, after advancing such a long distance, how could he not encounter any buildings, even if it is a huge cave, or there are signs of collapse, so that he can know that he is not spinning around in place!

Of the 30 torches I brought, I have 20 left.

For the entire heavy cavalry unit, only the torch in his hand was used as a guide, and the last one was used as a finishing touch.

Otherwise, without the light, they will be completely lost in this darkness.

The mage apprentices followed closely behind Kant.

Seeing his lord slowing down the pace of his horse, tightly wrapped in the linen mage robes wrapped around his body, shivering a bit from the cold on the horse's back, not even caring about his numb legs, he asked with a trembling voice : "Big... my lord, what's the matter... we... we didn't perceive that there was an enemy in front of us."

"It's not for this reason." Kant couldn't help frowning when he saw how miserable they were in the cold, "I was wondering if I should go back. After all, we have already traveled too far along this road."

"Go...go back?" The mage apprentices looked at each other tremblingly.

Both saw the joy and surprise in each other's eyes.

Not to mention them, even the Swadian heavy cavalry in the back had a layer of frost between their eyebrows under their helmets, and the chain armor all over them was extremely cold, and they couldn't bear the cold underground .

They all want to go back.

But he never dared to express his thoughts.

Now that Kant proposed, they all nodded subconsciously, with a bit of helplessness on their faces. There was a kind of helplessness from the bottom of their hearts for this ancient road that didn't know where it would lead.

The environment here is so harsh that it is even colder than the night in the Nalun Desert.

"In that case, go back."

Kant rubbed his eyebrows.

He has been deep into the ancient passage for so long, and he is not mentally prepared.

There are also insufficient supplies.

It's better to go back directly and explore again after preparing more sufficient supplies.

But just when Kant was about to turn the horse's head, the leading mage apprentice swallowed, trembling his throat, and said with some surprise: "No...but...Lord Lord, it's just a long distance ahead...We feel that it seems There's...a very...very evil being..."

"Very evil." Kant frowned.

"Yes... yes." The mage apprentice was too frozen to say anything.

But he closed his eyes forcibly, and after careful perception for a moment, he reported to Kang Dehui again: "I can confirm that very evil existence... is about a thousand meters away...but... but it seems that the vitality is very bleak!"

"Dim?" Kant frowned even more tightly.

Kilometers are very close.

It doesn't take more than ten minutes to ride a horse to get close.

He decided in his heart, and Shen Sheng ordered these mage apprentices and heavy cavalry: "Come on, light the bonfire, replenish your strength, and let's go over to see later, if we don't find what the mage apprentice said, the people who have lost their vitality Evil exists, so let's return quickly!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded, reluctantly turning over and dismounting, but their movements became stiff. Obviously, the long-term riding and the cold environment made the blood in their legs not smooth.

As I walked around, I used firewood and charcoal to set up a bonfire, and the chill in my body was dispelled by the warmth.

Warm the frosted water sacs by the campfire.

Everyone quickly shared food, and also fed fodder and hot water to the war horses who came with them. Finally, they were fully prepared and regained some vitality. Then they got on their horses again. Following Kant's lead, they held a torch and quickly moved forward He rushed a thousand meters away, intending to make a quick decision, and retreated immediately if he didn't find the situation.

But their thinking was clearly miscalculated. Even Kant didn't expect that as the distance approached, traces of white light appeared in front of his eyes. Although it was faint, it still carried a detectable light!

This made them, who had already adapted to the darkness, suddenly notice it.

If there is light, it means that there is an outside world!

They were finally about to leave this ancient passage and find a new exit.

"etc!"

But Kant directly raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.

The violent vibration of horseshoes disappeared immediately.

Everyone reined in their horses and stopped, looking at the little light ahead with solemn faces.

It is a 5-meter-high, 10-meter-wide exit, which can be called one with this ancient passage, but the so-called light is not real sunlight, but tiny glowing moss and mushrooms, which are growing in the passage. In the huge cave at the end, there are densely packed, forming a faint light, similar to the shimmer of light when the moon shines at night.

And in the dim light, a majestic fortress stands there, and Kant can still clearly see it from a distance of nearly a thousand meters. .

It is a fortress no less than "Drehem" castle!

"What's happening here."

Kant narrowed his eyes slightly.

He gradually got used to the dim light in the distance, with a serious face on his face: "I thought it was enough to be surprised by the appearance of demons, but I didn't expect that there are even dungeons now?"

That's right, the fortress ahead.

It is impressively built in the ground, completely relying on the natural space of the cave and the mountain...

Dungeon!
