Squinting his eyes slightly, Kant's eyes were somewhat strange.
The jackals belonged to a despicable, low-level race, an uncivilized tribe without even civilization, how could there be more than 30 standard combat soldiers wearing iron armor and holding two-handed battle axes.
And looking at the layers of chain mail and the two-handed battle ax with a cold light, it is obviously not inferior.
Even compared to the Gnoll chief that Kant and the others killed, the chain mail he wore and the two-handed battle ax that he used as a weapon were at least a few notches higher.
Kant's doubts are just like this.
It's really strange that there are 30 animals in this salt mine that are no less than the chief gnoll.
"They found us."
Riding a war horse, Fatis looked at the group of gnolls below, and his right hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Kant also watched with cold eyes.
But he didn't give any order, his eyes swept over the group of wolves, his eyes shrunk, and he frowned instead: "Do you think there is a strange guy among these wolves?"
"Strange guy?" Fatis frowned.
The wolf men below looked very strange compared to the wolf man tribe that had been wiped out before.
The ferocious and irrational Gnoll, carrying a huge sack like a miner, lowered his head and acted under the scolding of his companions wearing chain mail and holding two-handed battle axes.
The weapon in his hand is not a common mace either.
It's a thicker long pole weapon.
No, it should not be counted as a weapon. It is just a tool made of long wooden poles, similar to a rake. It can be seen at a glance that it is a tool for collecting primitive coarse salt.
But Fatis narrowed his eyes slightly.
He did find some strange... gnoll.
"That's right, that's the one." Kant said calmly.
Fatis didn't say anything. He knew that his lord hadn't finished speaking.
"Let me take a closer look, uh, in a linen robe."
Kant continued to speak, his tone still calm: "It still looks like fine silk linen, the style and material, guessing based on the color, it should be similar to the linen robe used to shade the sun in my room."
"Yes, very similar." Fatis nodded.
Kant smiled lightly, and asked lightly: "Fatis, do you think this is strange?"
"Very strange." Fatis replied.
"It's weird to me too."
Kant squinted his eyes: "A group of lowly wolf men, wearing chain mail and holding two-handed battle axes, is actually nothing, but why did there appear a wolf man, dressed in a decent way?"
"Like us." Fatis said, getting straight to the point.
"Yes." Kant lowered his head and chuckled: "The main thing is that they have taken over my salt mine." Looking up, his eyes were already filled with murderous intent: "Fatis will lead the team, and the Swadian heavy cavalry will prepare for it." full."
Although the voice was not loud, it was Kant's order.
"Understood." Fatis replied in a deep voice.
The 46 Swadian heavy cavalry who were already ready behind them were already lined up in two rows on the sand dunes.
The weight of the armored horses and fully armored riders caused the horses' hooves to sink into the top of the dune, but the soft sand could not hinder their charge, nor could it be the protection of the gnolls.
At the same time, Kant reached out and handed the [Position to Intimidate the Enemy] to Fatis.
"You need this." Kant said.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Kant." Fatis nodded without refusing, and directly reached out to take the mighty banner of the golden lion on a red background, which is called making the best use of everything.
The 500-meter range of influence is actually not that big.
Kant stood on the sand dune, waiting for Fatis to rush down with the Swadian heavy cavalry, and the range of influence was close to the border.
In order to win, Fatis will not refuse.
At the same time, on Kant's retina, a system dialog box popped up.
[Ding...Temporary task release]
[Temporary task: capture the salt mine]
[Task Reward: Dromedary Camel × 10]
[Introduction: This is the saline-alkali land formed by the drying up of the lake. The precious materials that God bestowed on the desert are also precious wealth bestowed on you. Now you plan to seize it from the hands of the wolf man.]
Sure enough, it is a temporary task of the system.
Kant was already familiar with this task, and it felt like a chain of tasks.
There is a professional term, running ring.
Shaking his head slightly, Kant couldn't help chuckling, whatever it is, as long as he can get rewards, it's fine.
The current self is still too weak.
The sound of fighting came.
Kant looked down at the edge of the salt mine at the bottom of the dune.
Thirty jackals wearing chain mail trying to stop 46 heavy cavalry with men and horses in full armor are no different from praying mantises blocking cars. They were easily pierced by 3-meter long spears, and all were stabbed to death in the saline-alkali land superior.
The standard equipment of the Swadian heavy cavalry is not only the chain armor worn all over the body, but also the 3-meter sharp spear when charging.
After dealing with those armored gnolls, the gnolls holding a long wooden pole did not dare to continue to resist.
[Prestige to Intimidate the Enemy] Disperses a circle of waves.
Fear and cowardice appeared in the hearts of these gnolls, directly causing their morale to collapse, and they turned around and started to run away.
But soon, all the scattered heavy cavalry were stabbed to death on the sand.
"Let's go, let's go."
Kant spoke and rode his horse slowly down the hill.
Behind him, the Swadian light infantry holding fan-shaped shields and Germanic swords guarded him cautiously, striding forward and following him quickly.
[Ding... After your unremitting efforts, the enemy has been defeated.]
[Temporary task: "Seize the Salt Mine" completed.]
[Reward: dromedary x 10]
[Introduction: Salt is an indispensable condiment in life, but it is also a luxury only available in noble banquets. This white substance represents smoky wealth. Now it's yours.]
A system dialog pops up.
Kant scanned the introduction on his retina, and a card representing 10 dromedary came to mind.
This reward is not bad.
Kant expressed his relief. After all, the most effective means of transportation in the desert, or the most reliable means of carrying goods, are these camels, known as the ships of the desert.
Especially these dromedary camels.
On the earth, these dromedary camels are used as freight vehicles, and they have made great contributions to the caravans crossing the vast sandy sea.
Deserts deny the survival of many livestock.
But not camels.
Thirst resistance, heat resistance, cold resistance, and ability to withstand sandstorms are all advantages of camels.
For Kant, with the existence of these 10 camels, it will be more convenient to transport items in the desert in the future, which is much better than the horses and carriages that are more suitable for the plains.
Walk down the dunes.
Kant rode his horse and continued forward.
The edge of the salt-alkali land still has a strong smell of blood.
Even the heavy cavalry who rode over from around had a lot of blood splattered on them.
They made a charge on the sand dunes and directly killed the 30 gnolls who dared to resist. The blood was not dirty, but a medal worth boasting about.
But Kant did not speak.
Five dismounted Swadian heavy cavalry came, followed by Fatis.
"Master Kant, captured it alive." Fatis reported.
Kant tilted his head slightly.
The strange wolf man I saw on the sand dunes before was walking behind Fatis with his head down.
The action is very honest, unlike the wolf man that Kant had captured before.
Perhaps this was due to the fact that the five heavy cavalry who followed on foot had already taken off the mace hanging from their waists, and could smash the jackal's head with it at any time, smashing his brains apart.
"Good job."
Kant praised Fatis.
Then, looking at this jackal wearing a linen robe and behaving strangely, he asked with some interest, "Hey, do you understand the lingua franca of mankind?"
"Of course." The jackal in front of him raised his head slightly, then lowered his head: "I understand a little bit."
PS: I plan to ask for recommendation tickets, anyway, it's free. Speaking of which, the strange objects absorbed before will be spit out by the system, and there will be a lottery. But, well, you guessed the idea of Shurima.
