Kant didn't stay here for long.
These corpses will be handled by Rolf and his cavalry.
Of course, the final result is to bury them. After all, these strange transcendents cannot just die in the Nalun Desert, even if the employers behind them must know that it will be Kant's hands and feet.
But the news can't get out.
The dead cannot speak, and the buried dead have no possibility of speaking.
Both parties respectively.
Three Swadian royal knights join Rolf's team.
From now on, the three of them will be the high-end combat power of the central station. If similar situations are encountered again, the troops led by Rolf will not be incapable of resisting, and at least they can deter the opponent.
A royal knight at the pinnacle of the great knight class, naturally full of deterrence!
Kant led the team away.
There is a little regret in the eyes.
In fact, the mage wouldn't be able to smash his head with a single blow.
Directly capture this mage who has no resistance and sell it to the merchants from Zhiwading, and maybe earn more dinars. After all, he is a transcendent who masters elemental spells, and his value is definitely higher than that of ordinary humans and gnolls. .
Most importantly, it can also avoid information leakage, which is more effective than becoming a corpse!
But since it is done, then it will be done.
It's a pity, but there's nothing I can do about it.
Kant packed up his mentality and continued to trek with 100 cavalry.
The sun is burning overhead.
The sea of sand in front of me became more and more spectacular.
The continuous sand dunes are in pieces, like the undulating waves of the sea, connecting to the sky, and the endless sand grains form this cruel environment. Looking at the top of the sand dunes, there are yellow and orange everywhere, with a natural look. The sense of desolation and desolation is extremely desolate, and there is no trace of beautiful color anymore.
Perhaps in the shade of the sand dunes in the low-lying places, some greenery can be found, but it is also very sparse.
The surface layer of the Nalun Desert is extremely water-deficient.
Its environment is harsh, even crueler than the Sahara Desert on Earth.
Except for the lowland areas where underground rivers flow, there may be a few puddles, and a small amount of drinking water can be obtained by digging the sand layer, but a fragile ecological chain can be formed, and there are few oases that can sustain the survival and reproduction of living things, but there are very few.
So far, only the sentry oasis has been discovered in the southern part of the desert.
Already occupied by Kant.
It is now the center of his territory, the overlord castle in this desert area.
Two days later.
In the early morning, Kant rode forward.
The knights followed closely behind, and a hundred people were like a long dragon. After a long journey, they were still lined up neatly.
This is the discipline of the elite troops.
However, most of them lifted the visor of the helmet, or put the giant helmet on the back of the neck, revealing their tired faces, and finally took advantage of the cool temperature in the morning to wake themselves up as soon as possible.
It's been 2 hours since we started at dawn.
In terms of time, it's almost here.
They know it all.
Riding the horse over the dunes, a needle-like black shadow appeared on the horizon.
Some knights noticed that their faces were filled with joy, and they reminded the surrounding comrades in a low voice. After careful observation, they all burst into smiles, and even the speed of the horses under their crotches consciously increased a lot. Feel the joy of arriving at the destination soon.
That needle-like black shadow is the 40-meter-high high-level watchtower of "Drehem" Castle, which is as high as 14 floors. If you want to climb from the bottom to the top, you need more than 10 minute.
But the advantage brought by the height is that it can detect the abnormal situation around it as soon as possible.
For example, Kant and the others.
Although the Nalun Desert has undulating sand dunes, it is not as complicated as mountains.
At the top of the watchtower, looking down at the surrounding environment, you can basically see everything at a glance, and you can see clearly.
A team of 100 knights was quickly discovered.
The newly recruited 40 desert bandits ran out of the city gate, dispersed into a reconnaissance formation, and quickly approached Kant and the others with the help of their light-armed maneuverability, identifying friend and foe first, and then making plans.
This place can already be regarded as the center of Kant's influence. Basically, coming here means that the blockade formed by the central station has been broken through, and the garrison in the castle will take action. Fatis decides whether to go out to fight in the field to defeat the enemy, or It is to defend the city wall and wait for help, to wait for work with leisure, and to defend and counterattack.
These desert robbers are temptations.
If the enemy is too strong, then stick to the city wall and use excellent fortifications to defend to the death, so that the cruel environment of the Nalun Desert can indirectly weaken the enemy and give them an opportunity to take advantage of it.
As for the enemy being too weak, then of course there is no need to say more, it will be a stormy offensive!
There are many elite troops in the sentry oasis.
Although Kant took away the 188 Swadian heavy cavalry when he left, there are still 97 Swadian knights, 45 Mamluks, and 103 Vikia marksmen in the current castle.
And these two weeks newly recruited 80 desert bandits, and 20 Vikia archers.
Although not many.
But with its elite strength, it is absolutely no problem to deal with ordinary troops!
Soon, the 40 desert robbers arrived at Kant.
When the two met, those desert robbers immediately became excited and stopped their horses one after another. They quickly got off their horses and saluted respectfully: "My lord, I didn't expect to meet you in the early morning. You are finally back!"
"Well, I'm back." Kant nodded, without getting off his horse, he stretched out his hand and said: "There is no need to be too polite."
"Understood!" The desert robbers got up.
Still respectful, he looked at the 70 Swadian knights behind him with envy in his eyes.
However, when they turned their heads to look at the 30 Swadian royal knights, their eyes showed horror. Thanks to their long career as bandits, they had a kind of fear from the bottom of their hearts that they were afraid to act against the royal knights.
Just like when they had less than 10 bandits, they encountered hundreds of Mamluk fears!
And now.
It's just the coercion brought to them by a mere 30 people!
"Okay, let's go back."
Kant pulled off the hood on his head, with a tired look on his face.
Seeing that the group of desert robbers sensed the strength of the royal knights, they didn't explain too much, but ordered: "Go back to a few people first, arrange breakfast and accommodation, this time we all need adequate rest."
"Understood!" The desert robber nodded, and immediately 10 people rode back first.
Kant and others followed suit.
Over several sand dunes, the watchtower becomes clearer and clearer.
And the 20-meter-high tower gradually appeared in front of my eyes.
There is also a 10-meter-high city wall, layers of arrow towers, and the entire castle is revealed in front of you, as well as lush date palm trees, plowed fields, sparkling lakes, and busy civilians with tools. The camel team returning from carrying coarse salt, and the green smoke rising from the top.
This is the south gate of the "Drehem" castle.
Beginning to take shape of prosperity.
Fatis is coming to meet him with ten Swadian knights.
Seeing them coming, he quickly walked over, took the reins of Kant's horse with his own hands, saluted and said hello respectfully: "Lord Kant, I haven't seen you for two weeks, I really miss you."
"It's been two weeks." Kant nodded with emotion.
From when I left to now when I return.
Two weeks, half a month passed.
Back at the city gate, Jocelyn, the leader of the caravan at that time, was standing there. When he saw Kant coming back, he saluted him respectfully and said hello: "My lord, I haven't seen you for a long time. I have come to join your team as promised."
"Very welcome!"
Kant nodded with a smile.
At the same time, he got off his horse and said to Fatis: "These 30 royal knights are alone as the guards of the governing hall. If you encounter an enemy of the extraordinary level, report it as soon as possible, and I will arrange for them to deal with it."
"Are they also..." Fatis raised his eyebrows slightly, then nodded immediately: "Understood!"
No need to explain.
This is the background of being stationed in the castle in the future.
Fatis, who knew something about the Principality of Lions, knew in his heart that it would be difficult for the neighboring country to gather 30 great knights with extraordinary strength to station in a certain castle alone for defense.
Now "Drehem" has it, and it can be called a big deal!
It also solved the current dilemma of Kant's troops lacking extraordinary combat effectiveness.
Everyone enters the castle.
The fragrance has already spread in the executive hall.
It was early in the morning, and although the soldiers in the castle had finished their meals, the chef was still busy cooking more delicate food for Kant and the returning knights.
After several days of trekking, I finally returned to the castle to have a good rest.
Kant sat at the head of the executive hall.
Accompanied by Fatis and Jocelyn, they had a relaxed chat while reporting on the administration of the castle after leaving.
Basically unchanged, it was all arranged by Kant before he left.
Jocelyn had just returned within two days, and had already handed over Zhiwadin's caravan to his nephew.
At the same time, he also brought back good news and reported to Kangdehui: "My lord, King Yarogerke of the Vikia Kingdom, I heard that you are short of funds, and you have loaned 100,000 dinars, which stems from the friendship between the two countries. , you only need to repay the principal, the interest of 20,000 dinars, King Yarogerke said that there is no need to pay."
"That's right, I have the opportunity to thank King Yarogerke for me."
Kant nodded, this is really an extra joy.
20,000 dinars is not a small amount. Being able to avoid paying this profit can be regarded as relieving the economic pressure.
At the same time, Kant thought of the spoils he had seized in the cave dungeon, turned his head and told the servants waiting beside him, "Go and inform my knights, and let them bring over all the spoils I captured this time."
"Understood." The servant nodded and left quickly.
Kant said to Jocelyn: "A large amount of gold has been seized this time, please help estimate the price."
Jocelyn replied: "I am willing to help."
Gold can be exchanged for dinars, and it has been possible since it was a village.
It counts as hard currency.
