2 p.m.
The atmosphere dropped slightly, just to the northeast of the sentry oasis, the assembled troops were waiting.
Kant rode his horse and Fatis was in front.
The construction team leader from Su Nuo stood respectfully at the horse's head.
"Master Fatis, you are Su Nuo's noble lord, and I dare not relax just because you are here!"
There was cold sweat on the plump face of the construction leader.
Especially when he found out that the general in front of him with the lord turned out to be the young master of a high-ranking nobleman in Su Nuo, he was even more timid, gulped and frothed honestly like a fat quail.
"This is the best." Fatis said lightly.
And he looked at the terrified appearance of the building leader, and frowned, "You know me?"
"Yes, yes, Master Fatis."
The cold sweat on the plump face of the construction team leader grew more and more: "Su Nuo, who doesn't know you, although you and your brother..." He realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly changed his mind: "Uh, it's nothing, Mr. Fatis Master, your knowledge is well known."
Fatis had evidently heard him.
His face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of despair: "I'm not some noble young master from Su Nuo!" He said in a deep voice.
"This... this..." The construction leader's fat face was dripping with cold sweat.
Swallowing, he felt that he might still have a chance to be saved, so he couldn't help blurting out: "Master Fatis, if you return to Su Nuo, I don't know how happy your father will be."
But what he said made Fatis' expression even more complicated.
At this time, how could the construction team leader not know that he seemed to have said something wrong again.
"Lord Kant, I'll go ahead and inspect the troops."
Fatis turned to Kant and said, "Sorry, I'm sorry." Before Kant agreed, he rode his horse and walked forward.
The plump face of the construction leader was already a little pale, and his legs were trembling.
Obviously, for the noble family behind Fatis, who belongs to the ordinary citizens of Su Nuo, he is still extremely afraid.
"It's best not to mention such things in the future."
Kant spoke with a calm face.
It's just that his eyes swept over the back of Fatis, with a bit of emotion and sigh.
The reason why Fatis wandered was because he was jealous with his younger brother, and killed his younger brother by mistake for a dissolute courtesan. When the player brought Fatis near Suno, he would appear to tell the sadness the past.
The title of Wandering Knight is also derived from this. He is unwilling to return to his noble family and would rather wander all over the mainland.
Kant frowned slightly, and he glanced at the sun in the sky.
It's almost time.
Then he opened his mouth and said to the construction leader: "Take care of my village."
"Yes, my lord."
The construction leader nodded quickly, glanced at the 30 construction workers behind him, and said flatteringly: "Even if we fight to the last, we will defend your village!"
Finding that he had offended Fatis, he undoubtedly wanted to hug Kant's thigh again.
"hehe."
Kant just chuckled at his words: "It would be nice if that was the case."
Stirring the war horse under his crotch to take a step, he raised his head and yelled: "Let's go!"
"Let's go!" Fatis led the way.
The troops that had already prepared in advance formally drove forward slowly.
Northeast of the target, the Gnoll tribe.
All out.
"My lord, we look forward to your triumphant return."
The construction team leader waved and followed respectfully, like a reluctant woman.
But his dedication was obviously in vain.
Kant and none of them looked back.
However, the fat construction leader didn't care. To be able to get such an extra task and increase the relationship with the lord, in his opinion, this is an absolutely worthwhile reward.
As for whether there will be an enemy invasion.
That doesn't need to be considered at all.
The Sentinel Oasis is located in the Nalun Desert.
Even the humble escaped serfs did not come to the barren places.
As for bandits, bandits, horse thieves and other evil forces invading and looting, that is purely overthinking.
The only enemy is the wolf tribe, which is still being attacked by troops led by Kant.
These construction workers assisted the guards, and there was no problem at all.
So Kant was relieved.
Two hundred Swadian recruits followed the carriage in a neat file.
70 Swadian militiamen were at the forefront.
Twenty-five Swadian light infantry advanced parallel to Kant and the wagon.
At the front of the entire team, the 17 elite desert bandits, as well as the newly recruited desert bandit this week, have all dispersed as rangers to investigate the road conditions and environment ahead.
According to Kant's calculations, they had two days' journey to go.
At the beginning, they rode their horses, and of course they were very fast, and they reached the wolf man tribe in one day.
But the current troops are mostly infantry, and it is impossible to speed up the march.
What's more, Kant didn't care too much, as long as he could reach the wolf man tribe in the shortest time, as long as he could follow the tactical plan, deploy it in the night before dawn, and launch a surprise attack.
Moving forward quickly, the marching speed of the entire team is not too slow.
Compared with the marching speed of Kant and 30 Swadian farmers, it is undoubtedly much faster.
Move on through the night.
Sleeping late at night, the team continued to march at dawn while the sky was still dark and the temperature had not yet fully risen.
Only when the temperature is the highest at noon, the sand pits are dug to rest.
After repeating this, they soon came to the desert where the wolf man tribe was located.
By this time, it was already dark.
It is dusk.
The hour of night.
Kant rode his horse and stood still on the sand dune, looking at the wolf man tribe in the distance, with a bit of regret on his face.
Turning to Fatis beside him, he said, "That's them."
"There are indeed a lot of them." Fatis nodded.
He also saw the bottom of the sand dunes, a plain-like desert, messy tents being set up, and many gnolls coming in and out, as if they were busy in the tribe.
These are all enemies, objects to be slaughtered.
The faces of the soldiers behind them were stern. Although their eyes were tired, they still held the weapons tightly.
They can't wait to fight.
"Everyone pay attention to concealment."
But Kant's order was conveyed to everyone's ears: "Temporary rest."
The attack of the tactical plan was not scheduled for dusk.
But before dawn.
That is the darkest time period, and it is also the time when all creatures are most groggy and their heads are extremely sleepy.
Whether it is vigilance or reaction, they are in the worst state.
Soon, the soldiers set up their tents.
They are in the downwind, or on the back of the dunes, even if they light a bonfire to cook food, there is no problem.
What's more, it's at least a kilometer away from the Gnoll tribe. Any abnormal situation will be noticed by the sentinels at the top of the dunes first. Whether it's fighting or retreating, the initiative is in their own hands.
The night is getting darker.
In the deep night sky, a bright galaxy appeared.
Kant and the others had eaten half full, slept and rested without taking off their clothes, and held weapons in their arms.
They are all biding their time.
Sentinels are changed every hour to ensure everyone gets enough sleep.
And wait for the bright moon to slowly set in the west.
The long river of stars also disappeared in the deep darkness.
The darkness before dawn finally arrives.
"Wake up, all wake up."
Gently patted the comrades next to him. On the back of the sand dunes, the faint bonfire was still burning in the sand pit.
And these Swadian infantrymen also woke up completely.
His face was solemn, and there was a determined killing intent in his eyes.
"Lord Kant."
Fatis came leading his steed.
Behind him, the 17 elite desert bandits and the newly recruited desert bandit were already holding their horses in their left hand and the flange hammer in their right, waiting for orders with serious expressions.
"Follow the tactical plan."
Kant nodded, and beside him, 295 Swadian soldiers were also ready.
"Understood." Fatis nodded, and at the same time ordered: "Is everything ready?"
The desert robbers nodded, quickly checked their weapons and equipment, and finally took out two water bags tied together in their hands, looked at Fatis and Kant and said in a deep voice: "Ready."
"Let's do it." Kant also nodded, and gave the order to start the war.
"let's go."
Fatis and the desert bandits didn't get on their horses directly, but led the horses on their own, and slowly walked around in other directions.
Their tactical goals are different, and their directions to enter the battlefield are also different.
But just outside the sand dunes, under the dim starlight and moonlight, the huge and messy wolf man tribe still stood there calmly with countless tents, unaware of the upcoming danger.
