The sky gradually brightened.
The pre-dawn fire consumed everything that could burn, reducing the entire horde of gnolls to ruins.
A strong burnt smell filled the air with the rise of black smoke.
The charred corpses curled up one after another, like poor people who died miserably, but for the Swadians who were setting up tents outside, these guys were more than worthy of death.
For the safety of the sentry oasis, the wolf man must die.
This is a massacre between races. For the survival of one's own race, one can only invite other races to die.
Simple truth.
Kant woke up in the tent, he was still extremely tired after sleeping for less than 2 hours, but now is not the time to rest, there are still many follow-up matters waiting for him to deal with.
Open the tent and go outside.
"My lord."
The two Swadian heavy cavalry guarding the entrance of the tent bowed slightly, saluted respectfully and said hello.
The cavalry chain armor all over the body made a slight sound with their movements, and the mace at the waist hung obliquely on the leather belt. The slight spikes meant that they could easily pierce through the enemy's armor and helmet when swung. It is a powerful armor-piercing weapon.
"Yeah." Kant nodded.
The Swadian heavy cavalry is currently his most elite unit. Although there are only 41 of them, with this group of armored, tank-like berserk units, even 500 gnolls can be crushed head-on in minutes.
What's more, he also has 46 Swadian light infantry, also wearing infantry chain mail, fighting together as infantry.
If there are still 200 Swadian militiamen, and now Kant attacks this gnoll tribe again, according to the tactics before dawn, I am afraid that the casualties will definitely not be too large, and the time to directly defeat the psychological defense of these gnolls will be shorter. quick.
In the era of cold weapons, heavy cavalry is the king of the battlefield!
"Where did Fatis go?"
Kant frowned slightly as he toured around Anza's camp.
He asked the light infantry who was patrolling with heavy spears next to him, "Did you see the Fatis knight?"
"Lord Kant, Knight Fatis is leading the rider of Salander to inspect the surrounding situation."
The leader of the light infantry first saluted respectfully, and then said: "I found the traces of the gnolls earlier. It seems that those disgusting guys who were defeated thought we left and wanted to come back and have a look."
"That's right." Kant nodded, and at the same time urged: "Everyone raise your spirits and pay attention to vigilance."
"Understood." The light infantry saluted with his chest out.
Kant waved his hand to signal them to continue patrolling, but he paid attention to what the light infantryman said just now.
Attacking the Gnoll tribe at dawn, although the victory was an epic victory, Kant actually knew that his victory should be to defeat the opponent, not kill them all.
Of course, in war, there is not much difference between being defeated and being killed.
A group of defeated soldiers cannot be called an army, just like pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered cannot be called livestock.
It can be called food, or military exploits.
Soon, the sound of horseshoes sounded from the sand dunes in the distance, and Fatis led the remaining five Salander riders, and was quickly returning to the temporary camp.
"Call—"
Fatisler got off his horse and saluted Kant: "My lord, good morning."
"Okay." Kant nodded in response.
Looking at Fatis and the five Sarande riders, he frowned slightly and asked, "Look at you, did you encounter those dirty primitive races while on patrol?"
The linen robe covered by the chain mail was covered with blood spots, which were easily recognizable.
Fatis didn't hide it either, and said: "As soon as the sun came out, scattered gnolls appeared on the surrounding sand dunes, and they just drove away a lot during the patrol, so as to prevent them from uniting again, it is very harmful to our temporary camp. Strange idea."
"Very good." Kant agreed with a smile.
Although it is simple to say, it must be bloody.
For these scattered Gnolls, neither Fatis nor the Sarande rider, who was born as a desert bandit, would show mercy to them. Instead, they would kill them and let them stay in the desert forever.
"Master Kant." Fatis turned his head and asked, "What plans do we have next?"
"Next?"
Kant frowned, this really needs to be thought about carefully.
Looking up at the ruins in front of him, they were black and covered with black smoke, filling the air with a disgusting smell of burning, but Kant said, "First search the battlefield again."
Although they are ordinary people, they are all determined fighters.
In a sense, the scorched smell of these wars has been enough in the Calradia continent, and I can't feel any waves in my heart. Even if I go to the ruins to continue searching, there is no problem at all.
As for vomiting at the sight of a charred corpse
That's what poor kids do, it's like a burnt roast chicken to them.
Kant's order to search the battlefield was issued.
The entire army on standby immediately separated their hands, and 46 Swadian light infantrymen stepped forward, regardless of the slightly warm ruins, striding on the charred corpses and ruins, fiddled with the burning ashes with the weapons in their hands, in order to find something of value.
The 41 Swadian heavy cavalry assembled with their horses.
If any abnormal situation occurs, these heavy cavalry will be able to go up in time, which is the experience of war.
Search is fast.
How could there be anything of value left in the ruined Gnoll tribe
Except for the dilapidated earthen jars found in the ashes of the ruins, or the bones and stones that could not be swallowed by the fire, after all the searches, this tribe of wolf men is quite scarce even iron.
"Oh, what is this?"
But soon, several Swadian light infantrymen seemed to find something.
They stood in front of a relatively high ashes ruin, and used the heavy iron-clad spear in their hands to stir the ashes, but found that there was something solid inside, hindering their movements.
Several people looked at each other, immediately retracted their spears, and regardless of the temperature left after burning, they reached out and wiped away the black ashes. Suddenly, the entire ruins of ashes piled up seemed to lose their support, and the whole collapsed downward, leaving only 2 A pothole in the middle of the river, as the fallen ashes and wreckage fell, there were a few crisp sounds of water echoing.
There is water in it.
These light infantrymen suddenly looked surprised, they knew where they were.
The Nalun Desert is a desolate water-deficient area. In this sunken pothole, the sound of water can be heard. Obviously, this pothole is a water supply point that is extremely scarce in the desert.
That is, wells!
Immediately, these Swadian light infantry sent a message to the back.
The discovery of a well is important news.
Not even less than they found a lot of silver coins, even more precious gold coins.
Kant was calm about this, and the news of the discovery of the well was already expected. After all, when he was investigating here, he saw that the gnoll shaman arranged for the wolves to drink water, so he already guessed that there must be a well here.
After all, although the desert is an environment with scarce water sources, it does not mean that there is no water.
Moreover, due to the lack of vegetation and the lack of water vapor on the surface, the groundwater at the bottom of the sand layer is extremely rich. This is why there is an oasis, which is the strange environment caused by the upward gushing of groundwater.
When Kant came to the well, a dialog box suddenly popped up on his retina.
[Ding...Temporary task release]
[Temporary mission: Mystery in the well]
[Mission Reward: Post Station × 1 Block]
[Introduction: There is sparkling light in the well, but with your hawk-like eyes, you find that there seems to be something at the bottom of the well. Although it's not real, you can still feel the mysterious atmosphere emanating from it, and you decide to get it.]
The temporary task of the system was released.
Kant frowned slightly, feeling a little helpless about the introduction, he didn't have eagle eyes.
But he still walked a few steps forward, came to the side of the well, looked down at the inside, it was indeed sparkling, and there was a faint reflection of water from the bottom five or six meters away from the well head.
But Kant stared.
He actually found something at the bottom of the well.
Looking carefully, it seems to be a golden disc, which is vaguely unreal.
