Knight Hobson chuckled: "This is an investigation funded by the Duke of Cameron."
He noticed Kant's thoughts and explained: "Scholar Hank is one of the famous scholars in the Lion Principality. He has drawn some conclusions about the lost city, so Duke Cameron is willing to fund Scholar Hank to complete this task." Field trip."
"This is an investigation that will definitely pay off."
Scholar Hank nodded, his tone solemn: "I once obtained an old manuscript, which was connected with the lost city."
"Huh?" Kant was slightly taken aback.
He thought of the ancient manuscript he was responsible for half a year before his departure at the academy.
Can't help but ask: "You mean that manuscript?"
"That's right."
Scholar Hank nodded: "That's the manuscript."
His tone paused, and his old face was full of joy: "It is thanks to you for sorting out the information that I finally deciphered the text inside, and there is the most important sentence about the lost city."
"Yeah."
Kant looked at Scholar Hank with some seriousness.
Even the Hobson knight next to him, and the captain Rowan who followed behind, who dared not speak more, subconsciously looked at this old scholar who enjoyed a good reputation in the Lion Principality.
"When the sun rises again, the Holy City of Gold will bloom again."
With a solemn expression, Scholar Hank spoke slowly, with a slow tone, just enough for everyone to hear.
It seems to be touching.
Because this is like a prophecy.
Scholar Hank paused slightly, and added: "This is recorded in an ancient manuscript. After I deciphered it, I am quite sure that the golden holy city mentioned above represents the lost city."
"It's... shocking."
Cavalier Hobson sighed softly. Being quite literary, he naturally recognized the stalwart in these words.
As for the cavalry captain Luo Wen, he didn't dare to say anything at this time.
His status was not comparable to the three in front of him.
"It's really shocking."
Kant nodded, even if he heard this sentence, he would feel a shock.
Looking at the old scholar Hanke, Kant also sighed softly: "Mr. Hanke, maybe you can really discover something."
"Will do."
Hank Scholar grinned.
He naturally knew what Kant's sigh was, but he didn't explain it either.
For him who is already old, what he can find is another matter. The most important thing is that he has to come and see for himself, even if he is risking his life and risking the ridicule of his colleagues, he has to come and investigate for himself, even if it fails. .
"Woo-"
But at this moment, in the sentry oasis behind him, a long horn sounded suddenly.
The 17 desert robbers suddenly turned their heads.
And Kant's face froze, subconsciously said: "Not good."
"Baron Kant, are you in trouble?"
Knight Hobson also frowned. Looking at Kant's embarrassed face, he couldn't help asking: "This horn seems to be in a hurry."
The horn is naturally used to convey information.
This is also common in the Lion Principality.
"That's right."
Kant nodded, and said solemnly: "There are enemies, and there are a lot of them."
He said it briefly.
In fact, even Kant didn't know how many enemies came.
But according to the statement in the system introduction, and the horn on the watchtower is so urgent, it must be indispensable.
"Gnoll?"
Cavalry captain Luo Wen couldn't help blurting out at this moment.
Having fought side by side with Kant before, he naturally knew that the sentry oasis in front of him was actually captured by them from a certain wolf man tribe.
"It should be about the same."
Scholar Hanke also nodded and said, "Gnolls have lived in the Nalun Desert since ancient times."
Knight Hobson smiled: "If it's a jackal, I think it might be able to help."
The retinue knights who followed behind him amounted to 50 heavy cavalry. Even in the battle sequence of the Lion Principality, they were the absolute main force, and they were more than enough to deal with the primitive jackals.
"That's very much appreciated, Hobson Knight."
Kant's heart moved slightly, the system task was to ask them to form a coalition.
A verbal agreement has now been reached.
From the perspective of the system, the temporary task has been completed.
[Ding... After your unremitting efforts, the temporary task has been completed]
[Temporary task: "Form a coalition" completed]
[Reward: Arrow Rain Covering (500 Vikia Marksmen) x 3 waves]
[Introduction: You have reached an alliance with the elite troops, which increases the chances of overcoming this difficulty. But remember, the covenant is never reliable, the only one you can trust is yourself.]
On Retina, the dialog appears.
In Kant's mind, a golden card was also floating, as if waiting to be activated.
There are countless figures drawn on it, it seems that they are drawing arrows with their bows, and they are shooting forward. Referring to the explanation of the so-called "covered by rain of arrows", Kant also roughly understood the meaning.
"Three salvos of 500 Vikir marksmen?"
Licking the corner of his mouth, Kant's eyes were determined: "This is very good."
Vikia Marksman, one of the two strongest arms in the system.
The other is the Rhodok sniper, a terrifying crossbowman with extremely long range and high power.
The Vekia sharpshooter is an archer with an extremely fast firing rate and a long range. It can be called a city defense machine gun. It occupies a certain shooting position. As long as there are enough feather arrows, it can show the enemy what cruelty is.
And after scaling up, the overwhelming rain of arrows is also the essence of this unit.
Even the Swadian knights, the kings of land warfare who are stuffed in iron cans with their men and horses, have to pay a certain price to get close to the large-scale Vekia marksmen before they can wipe them out.
"Come to my fief village."
Kant said to the Hobson knight and Hank scholar in front of him: "Although it is small, it is at least a defensive place."
"That's it." Knight Hobson nodded.
The 50 retinue knights behind him have also approached.
These are reserve knights. If they can make military exploits or possess extraordinary strength, they will become enviable knights and the cornerstone of the noble class.
Everyone left the dunes and returned to the sentry oasis.
The infantrymen were still a little dazed.
The enemy who was still waiting in battle before has now become a friendly army.
But when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. This might be caused by a misunderstanding in intelligence.
However, the real enemy has really come.
The militiamen on the watchtower quickly came down with serious faces.
Quickly came to Kant, Hui reported: "Master Kant, a large-scale wolf man was found in the northeast. The initial estimate can reach 2,000. The speed is very fast. It is estimated that we will arrive at the sentry oasis in 20 minutes."
"2000 jackals?"
Kant frowned slightly, his mouth was a little dry.
This number is somewhat surprising.
Even Knight Hobson, and Scholar Hank who came over with a cane, had serious faces on their faces.
With so many gnolls, quantitative changes have caused qualitative changes.
Even 50 retinue knights belonging to the heavy cavalry could not easily penetrate the formation of these gnolls.
And the most reasonable tactic at this time is to avoid.
But for Kant, it is definitely not a matter of avoiding the wolf man who came directly to his sentry oasis, because once he chooses to avoid it, it means that the oasis is occupied by the wolf man.
And his Dhrim.
His fief village.
It means losing, he will have nothing.
[Ding...Temporary task release]
[Temporary task: Persistence in adversity]
[Reward: Dinar × 1000, Prestige × 500, Honor × 1]
[Introduction: The dark sky, the tragic battle. Whether you can hold your village depends on your persistence. Please believe in yourself, the most difficult persistence will create miracles.]
Right on Kant's retina, the dialog reappeared.
But this is precisely the new temporary task.
