Horseshoes stepped on the sand and made shallow pits, and a team of 33 horses moved forward in the desert.
Kant led the team on their return journey.
Two Sarande riders led the way, and the others followed silently.
The environment of the Nalun Desert is cruel, but it is quite normal for the Sarandes who are from the desert race. Under the premise of enduring the extreme heat, they can also use the sand dunes and the sun to identify the direction and move forward on the most correct route.
They had come a long way from Stony Pass.
After walking for a whole day's journey, it is now approaching dusk without any accidents.
This is the Nalun Desert.
The once desolate forbidden land of civilization, a place of misery that even the fugitive slaves who had nowhere to go, even willing to commit suicide, were unwilling to set foot.
It's really hard to see strangers here.
Kant reached out and took out the water bag, took off the stopper and poured himself a mouthful of warm water. As his throat was nourished by the water, his tired appearance became more energetic.
"My lord, you should arrive at the station by 8 o'clock in the evening."
Knocking on the stirrup lightly, the horse under his crotch walked a little faster, and Manid came to Kant and said: "It is very convenient to have a post station."
"Indeed." Kant nodded.
Slightly squinting and looking ahead, the vast sea of sand seems to be stretched into pieces.
This kind of scene seems to be vast, bringing a barren and violent beauty, but in fact, anyone who lives in the desert will understand that this represents unbearable cruelty.
When Kant came here for the first time, he was exhausted from the bottom of his heart.
"Fortunately, it settled down."
Sighing softly, Kant was extremely grateful in his heart.
Also lightly knocking on the stirrups, the pace of the horse under his crotch became more frequent, and his voice also sounded in the team: "Speed up, try to rest at the post station tonight, work harder!"
"Understood." The cavalry responded.
The speed of the entire team suddenly increased, and they were all riding forward, much faster than walking.
What's more, there are also captured horses. Although they are not as strong as the three systems of Swadian war horses, Sarande horses, and desert horses, when most of the items are transferred to these horses, the load is reduced and the speed is faster. .
Kant was also thinking about whether he should have more horses.
The cavalry upgraded by the system, perhaps because of the rules of the system, has much better stamina than the cavalry in the real world.
Just like the Sarande rider.
On the basis of this Sarande horse as the main horse for combat, it should be equipped with another 2 horses.
They are the pack horse responsible for carrying the load and the daily walking horse.
If it is a Swadian cavalry, since they are riding armored horses, they need 2 load horses, 1 daily walking horse, and 1 replacement horse.
In the Western European Middle Ages, heavy cavalry was configured in this way.
There are even servants who take care of daily life, cavalry who follow in wartime, and a small number of elite infantry accompanying them.
After all, to become a heavy cavalry is equivalent to aristocrats, no matter how poor they are, they are also wealthy landlords. You must know that ordinary civilians have no money to buy this expensive full body armor, let alone feed delicate war horses.
Of course, there are not so many strict requirements for the system to recruit promoted cavalry.
Stamina is generally much stronger.
If it is compared, it can completely refer to the quality of war horses bred by blood in modern times.
Endurance, sprint, and physical strength are all available at the top level.
The blessing of system rules obviously solved Kant's problem.
It’s right to think about it carefully, even crossing has appeared, this kind of rule blessing from the system is not so unacceptable, if it is really necessary to equip cavalry with 1 man and 3 horses, or even 1 man and 5 horses, it will be too cumbersome. Also overly expensive.
Kant was fine with that.
Of course, adding more horses is to increase the speed, so that more efficient tactical advances and strategic transfers can be formed.
This is just Kant's idea, maybe in the future he will be powerful enough to configure it like this.
Everyone move on.
Since the sun in the sky has bloomed its last twilight light, the bright galaxy has declared to take over the night sky.
The bright moon also rose slowly into the sky.
The temperature plummeted.
The white mist is sprayed out between the mouth and nose, which are tiny water droplets formed by the condensation of hot air.
Kant and the cavalry had already put on warm woolen sweaters and thicker linen hoods for dinner at dusk, which could keep their bodies warm even in the increasingly cold desert.
Continue to trek.
The sand dunes were trampled under their feet by their horses.
After turning over the new dunes, a flatter sand layer appears in front of you.
"That is…"
The leading Salander rider raised his head and looked forward, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he noticed something unusual in the distance.
In the middle of the flat sand layer, a 2-story building stands.
There was light from the closed doors and windows, even if they were far away here, they could feel that it was the light formed by flames, which was extremely clear under the bright starry sky.
"The station is here." Kant said everyone's thoughts.
This is exactly the desert area with underground lakes.
And that two-story building is the inn that Kant directly manifested a few days ago.
"Great." The corners of Manid's mouth were slightly raised, and his face was also relaxed.
"let's go."
Kant rode his horse down the sand dunes and led the team forward quickly.
It's late at night.
The construction workers at the station had finished their day's work and were chatting and resting around the fireplace.
They are not asleep yet.
But soon they were awakened by the sound of horseshoes.
One by one subconsciously touched the things around them, and looked nervously at the main entrance.
The continent of Calradia is constantly fighting, and there are robbers and robbers everywhere. Now that they have come to this world, how can they not be nervous when encountering emergencies in the middle of the night.
"Take it easy, friends of Rhodoks."
Kant pushed open the front door, lifted the hood on his head, and said with a smile, "It's not the enemy."
"Oh, it's Lord Kant!"
"Master Kant, good evening, nice to meet you."
"It's you, my lord lord!"
Immediately, the construction workers from Viruga put down the chairs and wooden sticks in their hands, with sincere respect on their faces, they all touched their chests and bowed in embarrassment to redeem their rude behavior just now.
"It's okay." Kant waved his hand, of course he wouldn't care about such a trivial matter.
The cavalry also walked into the post station according to the horses and supplies, and they were eager to rest after a day of trekking.
But soon the atmosphere in the inn suddenly became lively.
"It smells so good." Kant sniffed slightly with his nose. He didn't smell it when he first came in because of the cold, but now that he recovered, the whole station was filled with the smell of food.
"Lord Kant, it's toast, grilled sausage, and cabbage soup."
The construction workers answered quickly.
At the same time, the table and chairs for eating were brought over, and all the food on the grill next to the fireplace was brought up.
Apparently, these construction workers were planning to enjoy supper while enjoying the fire around the fireplace. It happened that Kant and the others came over hungry and could enjoy these ready-made things for free.
The construction workers were also willing to dedicate the food to Kant and the others.
"Thank you very much."
Kant rubbed his cold cheeks and smiled at them.
Braving the cold wind of riding and trekking for a whole day, the little thing in my stomach has long since disappeared.
It is simply enjoyment for them to be able to replenish the hot food now, and there is no excuse too much. Kant and the others sat on the table and ate these foods to let their physical strength recover quickly.

Kant couldn't help smiling: "Interesting."
