The Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 73: Migrating desert antelope

Views:

Kant was woken up by someone.

His drowsy head was still soundly asleep, and the rapid sound of palms slapping on the wooden door was mixed with that rough voice in the corridor outside the door: "My lord, wake up."

"Stop knocking."

Still angry after getting up, Kant forcibly suppressed it, and said helplessly: "If the door is broken, you will have to pay dinars for compensation."

Throwing off the woolen blanket and quickly putting on his clothes, Kant opened the door, looked at the excited light infantry outside with an embarrassing expression, he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "What happened, is there an enemy coming?"

"No, we found a large number of desert antelope."

The Swadian light infantry swallowed and quickly reported: "They're migrating around us!"

"What?" Kant showed an expression of disbelief.

Looking at the light infantryman, he couldn't turn his head after sleeping all night, and couldn't help but blurt out, "You said there are desert antelopes migrating near us?"

"Yes, my lord!" The light infantry nodded decisively.

Kant rubbed his face: "Is it April Fool's Day now? I don't remember Calradia having this festival."

Still, he headed down the stairs.

After all, seeing is believing. Whether there are desert antelopes migrating near the sentry oasis can be seen at a glance.

"My lord, good morning."

"Good morning, Lord Kant!"

In the ruling hall, sturdy Swadian heavy cavalry wearing chain armor are standing guard.

Kant nodded: "Okay."

Walking out of the governing hall, there were no busy crowds outside the street.

On the contrary, at the entrance of the street on the west side, at the sugar workshop, many people were gathering, Swadian heavy cavalry, Swadian light infantry, Sarande riders, and Ravenston rangers. They all blocked the street together.

"what happened?"

Kant frowned, he saw Fatis and Manid standing there too.

They all looked outside, bright and bright.

"There are really migrating desert antelopes? How could there be such biological migrations in this ghost place."

Kant was helpless, his curiosity aroused, and he walked over quickly.

The Nalun Desert does not have the rich vegetation resources of the Sangwaya Mountains, nor the streams and pools that are common in the Sangwaya Mountains. It is not a place where desert antelopes live.

Although the desert antelope has the word desert, it does not mean that they can really live in the desert.

They are only slightly adapted to the desert environment.

In other words, compared to other creatures, it has evolved its own way of living in the desert.

"Master Kant, you are here."

Manid heard footsteps behind him, turned around and saw Kant walking quickly.

With a smile on his face, he said to Kant in surprise: "I didn't expect the sentry oasis to be the migration route of desert antelopes. From now on, we can hunt these antelopes for food and produce leather products!"

"Is there really a desert antelope?" Kant was slightly taken aback.

Fatis also nodded affirmatively, pointed outside and said, "My lord, there are many."

The other soldiers also noticed that Kant was coming, and hurriedly bowed their heads respectfully, and at the same time gave him a way to the outside, so that Kant could go to the front to see for himself.

"Okay." Kant nodded in response.

Walking forward, the newly-appeared small lake was sparkling, but his eyes looked at the lake on the west side, but suddenly shrunk as if he had discovered a new continent: "There are... so many?!" He couldn't help but exclaimed.

What they said is that there are many desert antelopes migrating. From Kant's point of view, there are not only many

But a lot!

Thousands of desert antelopes are gathering and drinking water one by one by the lake.

They were orderly, and all of them were quite vigilant. Many desert antelopes in the periphery were poking their heads and looking in the direction of "Dherim". .

Small body, vigorous and agile.

Tufts of black hair ran across the top of the head, across the neck, to the back and tail. Among the light yellow fur all over the body, it was like a long black thread, which added to the spirituality of this little thing.

There are also the two slightly hovering long horns on the top of the head, which seem to be sharp swords piercing the sky.

"How did they appear here?"

Kant swallowed, and his expression returned to calm from shock.

Fatis said behind him: "I found them during the inspection in the morning. They came from the Sangwaya Mountains, and it's not just this batch. Many batches of desert antelopes have passed by before, but none of them are as large as this batch."

"From the Samwaya Mountains, of course I know."

Kant nodded. He knew this well since he was a child. The desert antelope in the Sanwaya Mountains is a delicacy on the dinner plate of nobles.

But looking at so many desert antelopes in front of him, he couldn't help asking: "I want to know why they go to the depths of the desert? Is there something in the depths of the desert that attracts them?"

It is unusual for a group of cuties to risk their lives into the desert.

The surrounding soldiers frowned slightly, and they also didn't understand.

"Maybe I have an idea."

Manid suddenly opened his mouth, his tone slightly hesitant, but after thinking about it, he still asked Kant: "I remember you once talked about the desert antelopes in the Sangwaya Mountains. During the week at the end of the month, even the best antelope in the Principality of Lions Hunter, it is difficult to catch one in this time period?"

"That's right, anyone in the Lion Principality knows." Kant nodded.

This interesting incident was recorded in some books, but they were not taken seriously. After all, there are a few days in a month when you can't eat the meat of the desert antelope, and it doesn't matter much.

But who would have thought that these desert antelopes would appear here!

This made Kant curious.

Manid continued: "And we found charred air-dried meat in the ruins of the wolf tribe, which were all made by these desert antelopes. At the same time, I remember that your first battle in the Nalun Desert was Killed the hunting team of the little wolf man tribe that originally occupied the sentry oasis."

"Yes, that's right, that's true." Kant frowned, and the original picture appeared in his mind.

In his memory, it seems that he came to the sentry oasis at the end of the month. Combining this thinking, Kant knew clearly: "You mean that in the last week of the month, there will be desert antelopes migrating to the sentry oasis?"

"That's right." Manid nodded lightly and said, "Then it's very simple, maybe there is something in the Nalun Desert that is attracting these desert antelopes, even risking their lives to go in. "

Kant frowned slightly.

Fatis and other soldiers around looked at them blankly.

Obviously haven't reacted yet.

Looking at the suspicious eyes around him, Manid said with certainty: "It's salt."

"Salt?" The soldiers around were still in a daze.

They are all standard fighters. If they are asked to answer how to kill the enemy in the shortest time, then seven or eight of the most effective ways can instantly appear in their answers.

But this kind of problem is obviously difficult for them to deal with.

Kant opened his mouth, and his frowning relaxed slightly: "You mean those natural salt mines? If you say that, maybe you are right."

"That's right, that's the speculation, the most reasonable explanation." Manid nodded.

At the same time, he also explained to Fatis and the surrounding soldiers: "The desert antelope should be similar to those creatures in the Sarande desert. They have a lot of activity and need to replenish a lot of salt, so they need to migrate to the deep desert. The salt mine is supplemented with salt, and the water source of the sentry oasis is used as a transfer point."

Manid said: "This is why, the dried meat of the desert antelope appears in the wolf man tribe, the remains of the desert antelope are also found in the salt mine, and the sentry oasis is occupied by the small tribe of the wolf man."

"So that's how it is." The surrounding soldiers suddenly realized.

Manid smiled lightly and said, "Master Kant, maybe this is also a good opportunity to accumulate food."

"Of course." Kant also nodded with a smile.

Waving to the Ravenston rangers behind him, he pointed to the desert antelopes and asked, "Can you save some antelopes for me? Fresh antelope meat is better than those dry air-dried meat."
