Chapter 113. Ordered to destroy the well

"Phewβ€”"

Kandel tightened the reins, and the horse under his crotch finally slowed down in the gallop of the charge.

The Salander riders and desert bandits on his side also slowed down and gathered around Kant, holding the scimitar in their trembling right hands, and their faces were extremely grim.

They had just experienced a round of charge, crushing the enemy who dared to stand in their way.

Even now.

These bandits from the Salander Desert were a little incredulous.

They didn't understand what kind of confidence these gnolls heavy infantry had to dare to face the charge that belonged to the spear cavalry, which had already entered the peak stage.

Even if it is scattered, it is impossible to be completely wiped out in the first round of charge.

It also caused their right hands to tremble now.

It wasn't because of excitement, let alone fear, but when they were charging with their guns, the reaction force that appeared instantly when they came into contact with the gnoll heavy infantry caused their right hand and right arm, which had been trained to charge for a long time, to suffer a lot of impact.

If it is fully recovered, it is estimated that it will take two or three days.

And if you want to continue the charge of this scale and intensity, although you can, you will have to cause irreversible damage to your arm.

Fortunately, the battle has come to an end.

"It's over."

Kant's voice rang out, with a hint of weariness.

Trekking all the way here, charging directly without resting, really consumed a lot of their physical strength.

More than thirty gnolls who dared to resist were killed on the spot.

The more than 300 low-level gnolls around them turned into scattered routs, and they disappeared into the vast sea of sand around them without even daring to resist, and it seemed that they were extremely traumatized, and it was impossible for them to be organized to counterattack in a short time.

In fact, none of the gnolls organized a counteroffensive.

No gnolls would be impatient, not even these cruel and uncivilized lowly gnolls.

They all know how to be afraid.

"Lord Kant, do you still need to hunt them down?"

The Salander rider on his side spoke.

And the surrounding Salander riders were also eager to try, their eyes swept over the surrounding sand dunes, with undisguised excitement and naked killing intent in their eyes, because they felt that they had reached a certain tipping point.

A quantitative change causes a qualitative change, which can be called the critical point of rebirth.

But Kant denied their plea: "No. ”

Slowly exhaling a sullen breath, Kant commanded in a deep voice: "Let our camel team come over, and rest in the temporary camp here, these escaped jackals can't escape our horses, I don't want any accidents." ”

"Understood." An elite desert bandit nodded, and immediately rode his horse towards the sand dunes where he had charged.

When charged, they left behind caravans and peasants.

These dromedaries laden with supplies, and peasants with only long-handled scythes, were not heroic and invincible cavalry on the battlefield, let alone warriors facing high gnolls, or even lowly gnolls with maces.

Kant no longer needs to let the inferior infantry fight for the future with their lives.

These light cavalry from Salander were enough to deal with most of the problems.

Soon, the 10 peasants hiding behind the sand dunes, holding the long-handled sickles in their arms, led the 10 dromedaries down at the same time, their faces beaming, obviously knowing the victory of the battle.

"Put up all the tents."

Kant gazed at the surrounding clearing, and at the same time carefully instructed: "Go and see the well, I hope it is all right." ”

"Understood." The accompanying peasants took immediate action.

The elite of the desert robbers also consciously dismounted, and they all helped to set up the tent together, and at the same time found a makeshift stove, lit a fire and began to prepare food, they had not eaten breakfast yet, and their stomachs were hungry.

As for those Salander riders, they were in charge of cleaning up the battlefield.

Even without Kant's arrangement, they could have done it in an orderly manner.

Tents are set up.

The sand pit inside has also been dug.

The ready-made tent was lit, the wood brought in was added, and the makeshift grill was officially completed.

Sliced bread, with air-dried meat and sausages are baked hot around a campfire.

A few more dates, and that's breakfast.

Of course, everyone also had a piece of date honey candy that had just been made yesterday, and the delicious and sweet feeling immediately filled the mouth, which made these soldiers who were accustomed to salty and hard air-dried meat very satisfied.

There is also cool well water from the well, which is used by the soldiers who have been trekking for a long time to wash and scrub their bodies.

This laid-back feeling is less like a war trip and more like an outing.

That's how the winner gets it.

After breakfast, Kant also washed up a little, the cold well water wiped his face and body with the towel, and the fatigue of last night's journey seemed to be swept away, and he became energetic after this hearty battle.

Walk to the well not far away.

The edge of the well was still dark by the fire, but the water wheel that had been burned out had been replaced with a new one.

It looks like the high-ranking gnolls were replaced.

Not only for important hydration, but also for washing their body hair, these high-ranking gnolls are obviously more mindful of their outward manifestations than the low-level gnolls who don't know what etiquette is.

"My lord, this well can't be left behind."

The Salander rider, who was following Kant, spoke, in a solemn tone: "This will be a help to the enemy. ”

"That's right." Kant nodded.

The high-level gnolls have reappeared here, so the expeditionary force that the captive Assechi said at the beginning is estimated to appear in the southern part of the Naren Desert, and this place, which has a well, will also be their first stop.

It can be guessed that it took 30 days to cross the edge of the Devil's Zone, where there is not the slightest water or vegetation.

Even if you carry a lot of supplies, it is estimated that you will be exhausted when you come here.

The expeditionary forces of the Greymane Kingdom were in desperate need of water, and this two-meter-diameter well, which was directly connected to the groundwater, and which once met the needs of nearly two thousand gnolls, was a lifesaver for them.

It is also the most advantageous help to capture the sentry oasis.

The Sentry Oasis is a truly qualified outpost, and those gnolls will definitely not give up.

"This well must be destroyed."

Kant made up his mind.

He could get the caravan to bring more water bladders to solve the drinking problem, and he didn't want to leave the well as a supply depot for the enemy.

This is irresponsibility to oneself and can lead to the most serious consequences.

Luckily, they detected the imminent arrival of the Graymane Kingdom's expeditionary force, so they only needed to peel the edge of the well and pour a large amount of sand into it, leveling the well with the surrounding ground without showing any traces.

And if Kant wins later.

Or if you want to continue to develop here, you just need to carefully look for this well.

The walls of the well are ready-made.

Digging down the stone wall and digging the sand back up, the well that connects to the groundwater will continue to appear in the desert and become Kant's help.

This, of course, is a secret that only Kant knows.

The low-level gnolls don't know exactly where the well is.

This will make those expeditionary forces of the Greymane Kingdom who have finally reached the southern part of the Narun Desert helpless, and continue to advance towards the sentry oasis with their tired bodies, and finally be dragged down by the desert and achieve Kant's victory.

The peasants and cavalrymen who had finished breakfast came to help.

After replenishing the well water, they moved to hang.

It doesn't take much effort to fill the wells in the desert, and the sand on the surrounding dunes is immeasurable.

Bags of sand are poured into the well, sealing the bottom of the well.

This is no small project.

After working from morning to noon, and continuing to be busy after resting, it was almost as far as the afternoon came, when more than 60 people finally filled the well completely with sand, and also picked up the stones along the well and threw it inside, and continued to fill in the sand, so that the place became completely smooth, and there was no trace of a well.

Continuing to rest, after dinner, Kant gave the order: "Let's go." ”

After a busy day, they have other important things to do.

The gnolls in the natural salt mines still need to be cleaned by them, and the flax bags brought by 10 dromedaries must be piled up with coarse salt to complete the process.

Taking advantage of the dusk, they continued their journey through the desert.

With the appearance of the stars, the chill has also penetrated the clothes, making it a little unbearable.

Estimating that he had walked nearly half the distance, Kant ordered to camp further.

They didn't know if there were any gnolls in the natural salt mines, and they didn't know if there would be more high-level gnolls, so keeping their spirits and physical strength was the key to going to the salt mines next.

Nothing happened overnight.

Wake up early the next morning.

After breakfast, the group continued their journey, and soon arrived at the salt mine in the morning.

In the vast desert, the saline land of white flowers spreads to the horizon, which is a precious resource formed after the salt lake dries up.

Kant looked around and found no gnolls.

However, the tents that had been destroyed the last time they came, and the corpses of the gnolls were gone.

The exact circumstances are unknown.

But according to Kant's understanding of these gnolls living in the desert, when they are hungry, even if they are on their recipe list, they will not have the slightest scruples, let alone corpses.

"Farmers collect coarse salt, faster."

Kant turned his head and commanded, and at the same time said in a deep voice: "The Salander riders are on standby, and the desert bandits are scattered to investigate." ”

"Understood!" The crowd answered.

There is less and less time left for Kant.

He needs to continue to improve his strength in the shortest possible time.

Otherwise, when the expeditionary force of the Graymane Kingdom arrived, relying entirely on the protection of the current sentry oasis, Kant still felt a little worried, after all, he didn't know how many troops there would be.

But since these troops can carry out expeditions, there must be a lot of them, and they will not be too weak.
