Knight Hobson chuckled: "This is an expedition funded by Duke Cameron. ”

Sensing Kant's thoughts, he explained, "The Hank Scholar is one of the famous scholars of the Lion Duchy, and he has come to certain conclusions about the Lost City, so the Duke of Cameron is willing to sponsor the Hank Scholar to complete this field trip. ”

"It's a survey that's sure to be rewarding."

Scholar Hank nodded, his tone solemn: "I once acquired an old manuscript with a connection to the Lost City. ”

"Huh?" Kant was slightly stunned.

He thought of the ancient manuscript he was in charge of half a year before his departure from the academy.

I couldn't help but ask, "Are you talking about that manuscript?" ”

"That's right."

Hank Scholar nodded, "That's the codex." ”

After a slight pause in his tone, his old face was also filled with joy: "Thanks to you sorting out the information, I was able to finally decipher the words inside, and there is also the most important sentence about the Lost City." ”

"Yes."

Kant looked at Scholar Hank with some solemnity.

Even the Hobson knight next to him, and the captain Rowan who didn't dare to say much after him, all subconsciously looked at this old scholar who enjoyed a reputation in the Lion Duchy.

"When the sun rises again, the Golden Holy City will bloom again."

With a solemn expression, Scholar Hank spoke slowly, in a slower tone, just enough for everyone to hear.

It seems to move the soul.

For it is a prophecy word.

Scholar Hank paused slightly, and added, "This is recorded in an ancient manuscript, and after I deciphered it, I am quite sure that the Golden Holy City mentioned above represents the Lost City. ”

"Really... It's scary. ”

Knight Hobson sighed lightly, and he, who had a considerable literary accomplishment, naturally heard the majesty in this sentence.

As for the cavalry captain Rowan, he didn't dare to say anything at this time.

His status is not as good as the three people in front of him.

"It's really scary."

Kant nodded, and even when he heard this sentence, he felt a shock.

Looking at the old Hank scholar, Kant also sighed softly: "Teacher Hank, maybe you can really find something." ”

"Yes."

Hank Scholar grinned.

Naturally, he also knew what Kant's sigh was, but he didn't explain it either.

For him, who is already old, what he can find is another matter, the most important thing is that he wants to come and see it for himself, even if he risks his life and the ridicule of his colleagues, he has to come to investigate it himself, even if it fails.

"Whew-"

But at this moment, in the sentry oasis behind him, the long horn suddenly sounded.

The 17 desert bandits turned their heads sharply.

And Kant's face was also stiff, and he subconsciously said: "It's not good." ”

"Baron Kant, are you in trouble?"

Knight Hobson also frowned, looked at Kant's somewhat embarrassed face, and couldn't help asking, "This horn seems to be in a hurry." ”

Naturally, the horn is used to convey a message.

This is also common in the Duchy of Lion.

"That's right."

Kant nodded, and said with some solemnity: "There are enemies, and there are a lot of them. ”

He said it briefly.

In fact, even Kant didn't know how many enemies had come.

But according to the introduction of the system, and the horn on the watchtower is so urgent, it must be indispensable.

"Gnolls?"

Cavalry captain Rowan couldn't help but blurt out at this time.

He had fought side by side with Kant, and naturally knew that the sentry oasis in front of him had changed dramatically, and they had actually captured it from a certain tribe of gnolls.

"It should be about the same."

Scholar Hank also nodded, "The Naren Desert has been inhabited by gnolls since ancient times. ”

Knight Hobson smiled: "If it's a gnoll, I think maybe it can help." ”

The knights who followed behind him were the size of 50 heavy cavalry, and even in the battle sequence of the Duchy of Lion, they were the absolute main force, more than enough to deal with the primitive gnolls.

"Thank you so much, Knight Hobson."

Kant's heart moved slightly, and the task of the system was to ask them to form an alliance.

A verbal agreement has now been reached.

In the system's opinion, the temporary task has been completed.

【Ding... After your unremitting efforts, the temporary mission has been completed]

[Temporary Mission: Complete "Form a Coalition"]

[Reward: Rain of Arrows Cover (500 Vecchian Marksmen) ×3 waves]

[Introduction: You have made an alliance with elite troops, increasing your chances of surviving this difficult situation.] But remember, the covenant is never reliable, and the only one who can trust is yourself. 】

retina, a dialog box appears.

And in Kant's mind, a golden card is also hovering, as if waiting to be stimulated.

There are countless figures painted on it, as if they are shooting with bows and arrows in front of them, and Kant also roughly understood the meaning of the so-called "rain of arrows" description.

"Three salvos of 500 Vekian marksmen?"

Licking the corners of his mouth, Kant's eyes were firm: "This is very good." ”

Vekia Marksman, one of the two strongest classes in the system.

The other is the Rhodok Sniper, a terrifying crossbowman with an extremely long range and high power.

The Vekia marksman, on the other hand, is an archer with a very fast rate of fire and a very long range, which can be called a machine gun in the defense of the city, occupying a certain firing position, as long as there are enough feathered arrows, you can show the enemy what cruelty is.

And after the scale, the overwhelming rain of arrows is also the essence of this class.

Even the Svadian knights, the king of land warfare who even stuffed people and horses in a tin can, have to pay a certain price to get close behind them in the face of the Vekia marksmen who have formed a scale.

"Come to my mining village."

Kant said to the Hobson knights and Hank scholars in front of him, "It's small, but at least it's a place to defend. ”

"That's it." Knight Hobson nodded.

The 50 knights behind him had also approached.

These are knights in the reserve, and if they can make a mark on their military exploits or possess extraordinary strength, they will become enviable knights and become the cornerstone of the aristocratic class.

Everyone left the dunes and returned to the Sentry Oasis.

The infantrymen were still a little dazed.

The enemy, who had been waiting for him before, has now become an ally.

But when I think about it, I can't help but laugh dumbly, which may be caused by a misunderstanding in intelligence.

However, the real enemy is really coming.

The militia on the watchtower came down quickly, with a solemn look on their faces.

Quickly walked to Kant and reported: "Lord Kant, a large number of gnolls have been found in the northeast, the preliminary estimate of the number can reach 2,000, the travel speed is very fast, and it is predicted that it will reach the sentry oasis in 20 minutes." ”

"2,000 gnolls?"

Kant frowned slightly, and there was a bit of dryness in his mouth.

This amount is somewhat staggering.

Even Knight Hobson, as well as the Hank scholar who came over with a cane, had a bit of seriousness on their faces.

There are so many gnolls that quantitative changes have caused qualitative changes.

Even the 50 subordinate knights belonging to the heavy cavalry could not easily cut through the formation of these gnolls.

And at this time, the most reasonable tactic is to avoid.

But for Kant, it is definitely not a matter of avoiding the jackals who come directly to his sentry oasis, because once he chooses to avoid, then it means that this oasis is occupied by the gnolls.

And his Dehrim.

This village of his.

It represents loss, and he will have nothing.

【Ding... Temporary Task Release]

[Temporary Mission: Perseverance in the Face of Adversity]

[Rewards: Dinar × 1000, Fame × 500, Honor × 1]

[Introduction: Dark sky, tragic battle.] Whether you can hold your village depends on your persistence. Believe in yourself, the hardest perseverance will work wonders. 】

Right on Kant's retina, the dialog box reappeared.

But this is precisely the new temporary task.
