Chapter 073. Migrating desert antelope
Kant was woken up.
His groggy head was still asleep, and the rapid sound of his palm slapping on the wooden door appeared in the corridor outside the door with that rough voice: "Lord Lord, wake up quickly." ”
"Don't knock."
When he got up, he was still angry, Kant forcibly pressed it down, and said helplessly: "If the door is broken, you will have to pay for the dinar." ”
Lifting the wool blanket and quickly putting on his clothes, Kant opened the door, looked at the light infantry with an embarrassed face and excitement outside, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "What's going on, is there an enemy coming?" ”
"No, we found a large number of desert antelopes."
The Swadia light infantry swallowed and spat at the mouth, and quickly reported: "They're migrating near us!" ”
"What?" Kant looked incredulous.
He looked at this light infantryman, his head was a little unable to turn after sleeping all night, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "You said that there are desert antelopes migrating near us?" ”
"Yes, sir!" The light infantryman nodded categorically.
Kant rubbed his face: "Is it April Fool's Day?" I don't remember Calradia having this festival. ”
Still, he headed down the stairs.
After all, seeing is believing, and whether there are desert antelopes migrating near the sentry oasis is just a glance.
"Good morning, my lord."
"Good morning, Lord Kant!"
Inside the Consulate, Swadia heavy cavalry wearing chain mail and with a sturdy physique are standing guard.
Kant nodded: "Okay." ”
Walking out of the Consulate, there was no busy crowd outside the street.
On the contrary, at the entrance of the street on the west side, in the sugar factory, many people were gathering, and the Swadia heavy cavalry, the Swadian light infantry, and the Salander riders, and the Livingston rangers, all of them blocked the streets.
"What happened?"
Kant frowned, and he saw Fatis and Manid also standing there.
They all looked out, blazing brightly.
"Is there really a migrating desert antelope? How could there be such a migration of creatures in this hellish place? ”
Kant was helpless, his curiosity was aroused, and he walked over quickly.
The Naren Desert does not have the abundant vegetation resources of the Sanwaya Mountains, let alone the streams and pools of water that are common in the Sanwaya Mountains, and is not a place where desert antelopes live at all.
Desert antelopes, although they have the word desert, 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, they have evolved their own way of living in the desert.
"Lord Kant, you're here."
Manid heard footsteps behind him and turned his head to see Kant walking briskly.
With a smile on his face, he said to Kant in surprise: "I didn't expect that the Sentry Oasis turned out to be a migration route for desert antelopes, and in the future, we can hunt these antelopes for food and produce leather products!" ”
"Is there really a desert antelope?" Kant was slightly stunned.
Fatis also nodded affirmatively, pointed outside and said, "My lord, there are many. ”
The other soldiers, too, 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 and see for himself.
"Okay." Kant nodded in response.
Walking to the front, the new small lake sparkled, and his eyes looked at the lake on the west side, but they suddenly shrank as if they had discovered a new continent: "This... So much?! He couldn't help but exclaim.
What they say is that there are many desert antelopes migrating, and now according to Kant, there are more than a few?
It's a lot!
Thousands of desert antelopes gather and drink from the lake's edge.
Orderly, and all of them are quite vigilant, many desert antelopes on the periphery are poking their little heads in the direction of "Dehrim", and in their black pearl-like eyes, it is not for strangers to enter the living.
Small body, vigorous and agile.
Clusters of black hair cut across the neck on the top of the head to the tail of the back, and in the pale yellow fur of the whole body, it was like a long black line, adding to the spirituality of this little thing.
There are also two long horns on the top of the head, which are slightly circling, like sharp swords piercing the sky.
"How did they end up here?"
Kant swallowed and foamed, his expression calm from shock.
Behind him, Fatis said: "I found them in the morning when I made my rounds, they came from the Sanwaya Mountains, and not only this batch, there were many batches of desert antelopes before, but they were not as numerous as this batch. ”
"Coming from the Sanwaya Mountains, of course I know."
Kant nodded, he had known this since he was a child, the desert antelope of the Sanwaya Mountains was a delicacy on the nobles' plates.
But he looked at the so many desert antelopes in front of him, and couldn't help but ask, "I wonder why they go to the depths of the desert?" Could it be that there is something deep in the desert that attracts them? ”
It's unusual for a group of cuties to risk their lives into the desert.
The surrounding soldiers all frowned slightly, they also did not understand.
"Maybe I have an idea."
Manid suddenly spoke, his tone slightly hesitant, but after thinking about it, he still asked Kant: "Remember that you once talked about the desert antelope in the Sanwaya Mountains, and in a week at the end of the month, it is difficult for even the best hunters of the Lion Principality to catch one at this time?" ”
"That's right, anyone in the Duchy of Lion knows." Kant nodded.
This interesting thing is still recorded in some books, but it is not taken seriously, after all, it does not matter much if you can't eat the meat of a desert antelope for a few days a month.
But who would have thought that these desert antelopes would appear here!
This made Kant curious.
Manid continued: "And we have found charred air-dried meat in the ruins of the Gnoll tribe, all made by these desert antelopes, and remember that your first battle in the Naryn Desert was to kill the hunting party of the small gnoll tribe that originally occupied the sentry oasis. ”
"Yes, yes, it is." Kant frowned, and the original picture came to his mind.
In his memory, he seems to have arrived at the Sentry Oasis at the end of the month, and combined with this thought, Kant knew in his heart: "Are you saying that in the last week of the month, there will be desert antelopes migrating in the Sentry Oasis?" ”
"That's right." Manid nodded lightly and said, "Then it's very simple, maybe there is something in the Narun Desert that is attracting these desert antelopes, even if they risk their lives, they have to enter it." ”
Kant frowned slightly.
The surrounding Fatis and the other soldiers all looked at them in a daze.
Apparently not yet reacted.
Looking at the puzzled gazes around him, Manid said affirmatively, "It's salt." ”
"Salt?" The soldiers around them were still stunned.
They are all standard fighters, and if they were asked to answer how to take out the enemy in the shortest possible time, then their answer would instantly appear seven or eight of the most effective ways.
But this kind of problem, they are obviously a little difficult to deal with.
Kant spoke, his frown relaxed slightly: "You mean those natural salt mines?" If so, it may be true. ”
"That's right, speculation is that, the most plausible explanation." Manid nodded.
At the same time, he also explained to Fatis and the soldiers around him: "The desert antelope should be similar to the creatures in the Salander Desert, with a lot of activity and a lot of salt to replenish, so they need to migrate to the salt mines deep in the desert to replenish their salt, and use the water source of the sentry oasis as a transit point. ”
"That's why the Jackal tribe has the dried meat of the desert antelope, the salt mines also have the remains of the desert antelope, and the Sentry Oasis, which is occupied by the small tribe of the Jackals," Manid said. ”
"I see." The soldiers around them suddenly realized.
Manid chuckled and said, "Lord Kant, maybe this is also a good opportunity to accumulate food. ”
"Of course." Kant likewise smiled and nodded.
Waving to the Livingston rangers behind him, he pointed to the desert antelopes and asked, "Can you help me keep some of them?"
