In the dark of night, the sky is full of stars.
By the moonlight, Kant led the troops back to the ruins of the wolf tribe.
The temporary camp is still here. Originally, Kant planned to wipe out the gnolls in the salt mine, and then returned with his troops. After resting and replenishing fresh water, he started his return journey.
After the sentries and replacements were arranged, everyone went to sleep.
Despite the battle, they didn't have much time to rest.
At dawn the next day.
The Swadian soldiers all woke up consciously, greeted each other drowsily, stretched their waists, looked at the fish white on the edge of the sky in front of them, and gradually regained their consciousness.
They all slept in their armor last night.
When I woke up in the morning, my muscles were sore and sore.
But no one cares about that.
Being in the depths of the dangerous desert, you may encounter enemies at any time. Taking off your armor and sleeping, you can only seek your own death. If you encounter a surprise enemy, it will not be easy for them to put on the armor quickly.
For the sake of life, sleeping in armor is a wise choice.
Of course, the chain mail on the horse will be removed.
These delicate animals would not wear these chain mail covering the whole body. This weight made them sleep standing up all night, and it is estimated that they would not have the strength to pull out their hooves stuck in the sand the next day.
"Everyone is busy, we are ready to go."
Someone was shouting, loudly conveying Kant's order, making everyone move.
Now, they have a lot to do.
The temporary camp was quickly packed up and piled up on the 3 wagons brought in.
They had to set off quickly while the sky was still dark.
This is wisdom in the desert.
It is also an essential rule of survival in the desert.
Day and night, sometimes it is also the key rule of survival.
The water sac is filled, and it is quite easy to replenish fresh water for this well together with the groundwater, and no matter how much water is drawn from the well, the water level will not drop too much, and it will be quickly replenished by the groundwater.
This is also the reason why more than 2,000 Jackals can rely on this well to survive.
Now, though, Kant has an idea.
For him, this well has temporarily lost its function, and there will not even be many opportunities to use it in the future. After all, there is more water in the sentry oasis, and this well is just redundant.
It can even help the enemy and replenish fresh water for the enemy.
"Fatis."
Kant turned his head and greeted his knight not far away.
"Master Kant, is there any arrangement?" Fatis walked over quickly.
"Yes." Kant nodded, not hiding his thoughts, and said to him: "Is there a way to block this well? I don't want those jackals to use this well to call us ours after we leave." threaten."
"That's right..."
Fatis was slightly stunned: "But Mr. Kant, we send people to mine the salt mine, and we also need the well water here."
It takes a total of 2 days to travel from the salt mine to the sentry oasis.
If you want to mine salt mines, you have to be like Jackals, station some people in the salt mines, deliver food and water every day, or replace tired miners.
But it is precisely a 2-day journey, which is quite inconvenient for supplies.
Fortunately for food, in the dry desert and storage, the most important thing is fresh water.
Miners are tiring jobs.
What is being dealt with is a natural salt mine with extremely high salinity.
In addition, the temperature of the desert has increased the share of fresh water that miners need every day.
It is too unrealistic to simply rely on the transportation of the sentry oasis, so the burial of this well means that Kant must limit the number of miners in the future, otherwise the supply of fresh water will become a drag.
It is for this reason that Fatis dissuades.
"Forget it." Kant sighed softly.
Turning his head to look at the gnoll tribe that had been burned into ashes, he said indifferently, "There aren't many gnolls who dare to come back here. Even if we do, we can still kill them."
"You are right, Mr. Kant." Fatis nodded.
Now even if the heavy cavalry does not move out, these 41 Swadian light infantry alone are enough to deal with 500 jackals.
The armored infantry lined up were battle-tested elites. It couldn't be easier to deal with a group of low-level gnolls who only know how to rush up in a mess and have no tactics at all.
And most importantly.
It is estimated that those jackals will turn their heads and run away in fright when they see Kant's troops now.
It is not so easy for them who have been completely defeated to recover their courage.
"ready to go."
Kant waved forward, got on his horse, and led the troops to start their return journey.
Fatis also rode his horse and followed closely.
This was the first time they took the initiative to attack other enemies. Those who stayed in the sentry oasis did not have their own defensive forces, only more than 30 construction workers were helping to watch the house.
According to Kant's calculations.
It's the weekend after 2 days, just in time to return to Sentinel Oasis.
When the standard houses in Swadia are completed, those system workers from Suno will be able to complete their missions and leave to return to the Calradia continent.
This is all planned.
The return journey was peaceful.
No gnolls were encountered, and no danger was encountered.
The speed of going back is also much faster.
Day and night.
By the afternoon of the second day, I had already seen the green of the sentry oasis.
Hundreds of date palm trees on 2 acres of land are swaying branches and leaves, and they look green, as if they have brought coolness in this sultry desert and added a relaxing green color.
They are finally back.
Everyone is dusty.
It was almost a quick march, and no one had a good rest in the desert.
Strive to come back in the shortest possible time.
And Kant stood on the sand dune, looking at the date palm trees on both sides of the spring at the bottom, and the neatly arranged houses, with relief and pride on his face, this is his village.
"Go on, everyone can have a good rest when we go back!"
Fatis also opened his mouth, pursed his chapped lips, and loudly encouraged the morale of the soldiers: "We're home!"
"Long live!"
The soldiers were all cheering, their faces were tired, but their eyes were extremely excited.
The continuous fighting and long trek exhausted their physical strength.
Even Kant sighed in his heart.
He understood that his own strength was far from enough. He knew from this raid on the wolf man tribe that if it wasn't for the systematic help, it would not be as easy as it is now.
300 people before departure.
When we came back, there were less than 100 people.
Kant also had to lament the cruelty of war.
"However, the gain this time is enough to make up for the loss." Kant calmed down.
41 Swadian light infantry.
46 Swadian heavy cavalry.
5 Sarande riders.
This is the only remaining unit, but whether it is the light infantry of the third-level unit or the cavalry of the fourth level, all of them are elite, and they cannot be compared with the previous recruits and militia.
At present, Kant has 92 soldiers, and it is easy to overwhelm the previous 300 troops.
This is just one of the rich fruits of victory.
There are also 15,000 dinars, 1,000 prestige, and 11 honor.
Although the upgrade cost more than 2,000 dinars, there is still a balance of more than 13,000 dinars, which is enough for Kant's current expenses.
But what caught his fancy the most was the 11 points of honor.
This means that Kant can randomly select 11 big gift packages from the system mall!
Produced by the system, it must be a high-quality product.
As long as Kant's luck is not bad, then getting anything is the most lucrative reward.
The current sentry oasis is like a child in desperate need of nutrition.
All comers are welcome!
