News of the enemy attack was quickly delivered.

In the entire sentry oasis, the people who were still sleeping were all awake at this time, with sparse sleepy eyes, but their eyes were full of fighting spirit.

They hope to prove their prowess with a hearty victory.

The Svadians have never been afraid of war.

Ten militiamen, 20 recruits, all armed with their spears, gathered in the consulium.

Outside, in the seemingly unremarkable tent, 50 Swadian peasants were also ready with their scythes in their hands.

They were all waiting for Kant's orders.

"Be quiet."

But Kant's order did not tell everyone to get out of their houses and tents.

Instead, they are asked to keep waiting.

He also squatted on the roof of the Consulate, squinting slightly at the sand dunes in the distance, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth: "Maybe these ugly guys know this tactic?" ”

On the dunes, scattered black shadows moved.

The bright moonlight spread across the earth, and the beast-like head and body could be faintly distinguished.

It's the Gnoll.

"My lord, let's go horsebacking."

Behind Kant, six desert bandits were crouching in the same way.

However, looking at the gnolls who were getting closer and closer, the faces of the six robbers were also a little dignified.

"Well, be careful not to be discovered."

Kant nodded and allowed them to leave.

His face was as solemn, even in the depths of his eyes, and even he didn't expect that tonight's battle seemed to be a bit severe, and the balance of victory in his estimation might not be in his favor.

Because there are too many gnolls coming.

"It's not good."

Kant breathed slowly, his eyes cautiously looking at the sand dunes in the distance.

Although the moonlight is not like daylight, it can still be used for people to visually measure the distance of 100 meters, and as far as Kant estimated, the number of gnolls has exceeded 300, and even faintly, he can find that there are more gnolls on the back of the dunes.

The situation is not good.

It's got to the point of seriousness.

The militia behind him also asked with some solemnity: "My lord, what should we do?" ”

"Wait."

Kant replied, in a direct tone.

The attacking gnolls were estimated to have at least 500 men, more than five times their number.

With only 87 Swadians, 50 of whom are farmers who are more adept at cultivating the land, the battle must not be won by conventional tactics.

Go out now and line up head-on, and have a dignified battle, which is directly equivalent to looking for death.

Kant was not stupid.

That's why he arranged for his soldiers to continue hiding.

It's like you didn't notice it all.

"It would be nice if they were."

Kant was amused in his suffering, but he also sighed helplessly.

What he said was, of course, Rowan and them.

The 20 cavalry of the Duchy of Lion, combined with 6 desert bandits and 80 infantry, will definitely succeed in defeating the gnolls who are gathering by surprise attack.

After all, it is cavalry, and the destructive power that evolves from powerful mobility is quite deadly.

"It's a pity they're not here."

Wiping his face, Kant's expression returned to solemnity.

Even if there were no reliable reinforcements, he and the visitors from Svadia would definitely have to hold on to this oasis.

This is "Dehrim", their village.

Just as Kant raised his hand and wanted to give an order, a flickering dialog appeared on the retina in front of him.

At the same time, a prompt sound from the system also appeared in his ears.

【Ding... Main quest released]

[Temporary Mission: Defeat the Night Raid Enemy]

[Reward: Swadia Militia Rationable Equipment: Hunting Crossbow]

[Introduction: As night approaches, a large number of enemies are gathering among the cold wind-blown sand dunes. With a deep hatred, they seek to reclaim their tribal oasis. And for you, it's a battle for survival. 】

Again, a task from the system.

Kant Weileng.

But his eyes shrank instantly, because he realized that this was not a temporary task that usually appeared once in a while.

It's the main quest!

It's still Kant's second main quest so far.

The first one, of course, was the establishment of the village, which was just completed last night.

Now, in the face of a large number of gnolls at the moment of night attack, the system has given a hint of the main quest.

"Forced to Liangshan."

Kant licked his lips, and the depths of his eyes were even more helpless.

The main quest is released, then it means that he must complete it, because only after completing this main quest, the next main quest will be released, step by step, ring by link.

And if he fails in the main quest this time.

The consequences will be unpredictable.

This means that one ring is broken, and the next ring is no longer properly connected.

The main thing.

The night attack of the jackals, the failure of Kant, was absolutely annihilated.

All personnel were killed in battle, and the sentry oasis was reoccupied by the Gnoll tribe, and Dehrim was destroyed.

Even if there is a main quest, it has nothing to do with Kant.

People are dead, and everything can only pass away with the wind.

Perhaps a few years after the Lion Principality, some people may cry with sympathy when they learn of this tragedy, but more people will be the talk of the conversation after cooking, and after a few days of excitement, they will fall silent again until they are forgotten.

"That's not going to work."

Kant clenched his fists, and his face was slightly hideous.

This is a battle that must not be lost, even if it is a heavy loss, he will win.

"Go down and prepare."

Kant stepped back, off the roof, back to the first floor of the Consulate.

Ten Swadiya militiamen, as well as 20 Swadia recruits, are waiting with spears in hand, his main soldiers, the key force to win the battle.

"Your Lord."

The soldiers were resolute and ready to die.

"Okay." Kant nodded, morale available.

At the same time, he asked them, "How is the situation outside?" ”

Immediately, the militia in charge of observation reported: "The gnolls are assembling in the dunes, and the number of probes has been approached at 500. ”

Kant frowned.

The situation reported was not unexpected, but it was more like a heavy burden, which made him a little heavy.

500 Gnolls, equal to the total number of tribes in the previous oasis.

"But why are there so many?"

Kant wondered.

At that time, 20 cavalry raided the tribe, followed by 30 Swadians, and had already dealt a heavy blow to the group of gnolls who occupied the sentry oasis, and the number of gnolls killed on the spot could reach about 300, and only 100 escaped.

But now, the number of jackals that appeared turned out to be 500.

It really made Kant puzzled, and at the same time his heart was angry.

This proves that there must be a tribe of gnolls around nowhere!

"They're attacking!"

Just as Kant frowned and thought, a militiaman at the door spoke, making the atmosphere in the entire consul hall instantly solemn.

The sound of saliva swallowing, the sound of teeth clenching.

The Svadian soldiers all clenched their spears, took a deep breath, and waited for Kant's order to appear, and then quickly rushed out of the Consulate and formed a tight line to launch a surprise attack on the enemy outside.

"Quiet, keep quiet!"

But Kant remained calm and encouraged in a deep voice: "Don't be anxious, victory will be ours." ”

At the same time he hurried to the wooden door.

Through the gap, Kant clearly saw that the black crows on the sand dunes were quietly touching them.

Apparently, these gnolls have not yet noticed that they have already been discovered by the targets of their night raids.

They're still slowly touching them.

Just like when a wolf pack attacks its prey, it first begins to spread out and crawl, and only then suddenly bursts out when it is close enough, trying to kill the prey in the shortest possible time and harvest a delicious meal.

It's just that if the prey finds them in advance and can fight back, it's different.

The infantry in the Consulate, the peasants in the tents, the equally prepared cavalry in the desert stronghold, all waited.

When the sneak attacker is discovered.

It's not a sneak attack, it's a quick counterattack.

Or rather, counter-raids!

"Bang."

Kant kicked open the wooden door and rushed out of the chamber with a light crossbow in his hand.

The gnolls who had already approached, numbering close to 500, were still bending over, and they were close to the distance of 30 meters from the Consulate, but the stunned eyes obviously did not expect that someone would directly kick the door and rush out.

"Hum—"

With a light crossbow pull, the sharp and heavy iron crossbow bolts flashed through and appeared among the gnolls 30 meters away.

The arrow easily tore through the fur and pierced into the abdomen, cutting open all the internal organs, causing massive bleeding in the arteries, causing the jackal to fall to his knees with red eyes and the wound in his abdomen.

"For Svadia, fight!"

Kant's voice roared through the sentry oasis, not loud, but like a prelude to rolling thunder.

"Long live Svadia!"

An even bigger response appeared, and 30 soldiers with spears in their hands quickly rushed out of the chamber, raised their 2-meter spears in their hands, formed a neat queue, and quickly advanced towards those stunned gnolls.

And the 50 Swadia farmers.

The scythes were also raised, and they followed the 30 infantrymen at either side.

Step by step, almost trotting, what I want is a surprise attack, so that these gnolls who come to sneak attack will be caught off guard!

"Kill!"

Kant carried the light crossbow behind his back, raised the short sword in his hand and walked forward with the infantry.

The distance of 30 meters is very close, there is no time to pull the string and the arrow, and it is even more simple to use a sharp short sword, those gnolls do not have any armor to block the attack of metal weapons!

The smell of blood was instantly strong.

The people of Svadia have been intersected with the gnolls, the short-handed soldiers.
