The death of slaves happens from time to time, after all, as slaves captured from the battlefield, it is obviously impossible for the victorious side to treat them as friends, cruel torture is just commonplace, and it is more of a harsh living environment.

There is not enough food, not enough clothing, not enough rest, and no effective supplements.

Even if you are sick, you have to go to work.

Want to take a break?

Oh, there will be a friend you once knew, and now an overseer, the faithful dog leg of the victor, who will wake up your fatigue with a tough leather whip, and go to finish the work of the day with a full body of patients.

If you become a slave, you basically can't be seen as a human being, and you're basically a humanoid livestock.

This is the truth.

Every day in the salt mines, several slaves died, and Kant knew this.

But looking at the growing reserves of coarse salt in the warehouses, the deaths of these slaves became very valuable, at least for Kant, a large amount of coarse salt that could be made for months after the fall of the salt mines.

At least for the time being, the salt workshops of the castle "Drehem" have not been able to keep up with the pace of stockpiling.

Although there is a large amount of table salt that has been made day and night.

But most of the warehouses were full of flax sacks, which were full of coarse salt, brought by the caravans of caravans that traveled between the castle and the salt mines every week.

Even if more than half of the current slaves are dead, there are still nearly 700+ people.

Kant naturally didn't care.

It was a hassle to keep so many slaves and to be supplied with a lot of food and water.

"Wait." But in an instant, Kant frowned, turned his head to look at Manid, and asked in a deep voice, "You mean... A special natural environment arose in the depths of the Narun Desert, which led to the mass death of slaves? ”

"Yes, cooler temperatures at night."

Manid nodded.

"This—" Kant frowned, "something is indeed wrong. ”

It's anomalous.

Although it is true that the night temperature in the Narun Desert is extremely cold, it is not so outrageous.

You must know that Kant still values his slaves, at least a leather jacket for each person, and there are campfires built around the tent at night for everyone to keep warm, how can he freeze to death nearly 300 slaves so easily.

If only 300 slaves were exhausted to death due to the current level of cruel labor!

"The undead, perhaps."

The lion knights next to them spoke.

They also have their own opinions on the unconventional weather: "No, there are only undead spirits, these undead spirits from the resurrection of the dead, between life and death, will exude undead negative energy all over their bodies." ”

After all, the Pande Continent has a magical heritage.

Kant nodded: "Well, go ahead." ”

"The negative energy of the undead is characterized by cold."

The lion knights said: "The frost will cover the earth, and everything can be frozen, which is the condensation of the minds of the dead, and the hatred of the living creatures in the sunlit world is a kind of negative energy. ”

"Where the canopy of death spreads, there is also that kind of frost spreading."

The royal knights also nodded, "And the bone-chilling snap that even the sand layer freezes. ”

"yes." Kant said in a deep voice: "Trouble is coming. ”

"Trouble."

Manid also murmured.

It wasn't the first time he'd heard it, and he knew how dangerous it was for the undead to slowly arrive in the Narun Desert.

But he didn't expect that the danger that had been conceptualized would come so quickly, and even appear at the salt mine, not even enough to be close to the sentry oasis at his feet

When they first entered the depths of the Naren Desert, when they encountered the Death Canopy, they had already encountered that terrifying cold current, and if it were not for the protection of extraordinary power, it is estimated that even people and horses would have frozen to death in the depths of the desert.

That cold snap is not something ordinary people can resist.

"Damn."

Kant frowned similarly.

But he didn't hesitate, he turned his head and ordered: "Go and inform the mages, and the progress will speed up immediately!" ”

"Yes!" The knights, who were the guards, immediately responded and walked briskly to the top floor, where the mages had their apprentices' quarters, where the mages were conducting magical experiments and fusion plans for the solar disk.

As soon as the solar disc takes shape and blesses the sentry oasis, Kant's castle can be declared safe.

At least don't care about the threat of the Death Canopy.

It's in the middle of discussion.

The door of the Consulate was directly pushed open, and a desert bandit quickly pounced in, half-kneeling in front of the long table and reported quickly: "Lord Lord, the salt mine has discovered the Death Canopy, and has been attacked by the undead army, and it has now been lost!" ”

"What?"

Kant instantly stood up in his place.

Clasped his hands, he looked at the desert bandit who was half-kneeling in front of the long table, and his breath was a little shorter: "How is it possible, the salt mine is lost like this?" ”

"That's right, just 2 days ago!"

The desert bandit's voice cried slightly: "All of us have withdrawn!" ”

He still has the appearance of a dusty man on his body.

On the leather armor outside, you can even see the marks of swords and axes.

Including the blood, it was already slightly blackened, and the wounds were blue and purple, although they were healed, they looked like they had been infected by filthy things, and even the desert bandit's lips were white, and his face was sickly yellow.

And when the desert robber finished reporting, a strange red suddenly welled up on his cheeks, and the whole person collapsed directly, motionless at the long table in front of Kant.

"Fainted."

A lion rider came over, stretched out his hand to probe his nose, and after examination, said in a deep voice: "I need treatment, and I need to rest." ”

The royal knights also sighed lightly, "It seems that I rushed back from the salt mine." ”

"Come, take him down for treatment."

Kant waved.

At the same time, he instructed Bandak, who was frowning slightly, "Go and see, who else knows the details, I need to know the details, how my salt mine fell!" ”

"Yes." Bandak nodded and walked away quickly.

There are also people next to him who took away the desert bandit who collapsed on the ground and fainted, and then he will receive the treatment and rest he deserves, at least in the artisan union, there are trained doctors, although the effect is certainly not as good as that of a top doctor like James, but it is still no problem to deal with small infections and treat wounds.

After all, there are people who are injured in daily life, and on the training ground, the training of high-level troops to low-level troops will cause wounds from time to time due to hand errors, so a group of doctors have been trained.

It's okay to save your own people.

In times of war, he can also be used as a field doctor to care for the wounded.

Manid sighed beside him, "The situation is critical. ”

"yes."

Kant gritted his teeth and sat back in his chair.

The lion knights and royal knights next to them were silent, all with determination on their faces.

The war is about to begin.

Everyone has understood that the rapid fall of the salt mine means that it is time for the most elite troops belonging to the "Drehem" castle to go on the battlefield and retake the salt mine!

Soon, Bandak returned, his face slightly solemn.

"Bad news."

He spoke slowly.

"Say it." Kant frowned, he was mentally prepared.

Bandak reported in a deep voice: "The salt mine fell quickly, all the slaves were frozen to death, only the desert bandits of the salt mine post station came out, and just came to the castle to report, just behind, the more elite 500 Swadia knights and 2 royal knights have been entangled by the terrifying undead troops. ”

"It's... I was surprised. Kant's eyes flashed with hideousness, and in less than a few days, a caravan reported that 300 people had frozen to death, and in the blink of an eye, desert robbers fled back, saying that the salt mine had fallen.

How can this not be unexpected!

In Kant's eyes, his layout in the salt mine was simply foolproof.

Although it is mainly to prevent slave rebellions, it is still related to the undead who are hiding in the canopy of death in the depths of the Narun Desert.

That's a heavy cavalry force of 500 Swadian heavy cavalry led by 2 royal knights!

It can be called elite.

But even so, they are still entangled by the undead, and they need the desert bandits to be the first to come back for help.

"And, Lord Kant."

Bandak continued: "According to the accounts of several other desert bandits, the Death Canopy did not spread, but those undead suddenly appeared, which was equivalent to a sneak attack, which caught them off guard. ”

"Wait." Kant squinted: "A sneak attack by the undead? ”

"Yes."

Bandak nodded.

Kant's face was grim, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "I think I heard it right, it turned out to be a sneak attack by the undead?" These dead skeletons, still sneak up on this tactic? ”

Kant was not puzzled by this.

The undead have no intelligence, but with an instinctive hatred for the living, they form a sea of undead to attack their enemies.

Sneak attacks simply don't exist.

Or rather, these undead don't even have a formation.

It is out of the instinct of the undead creatures that the soul fires attract each other, gather each other into a mess, and only then will they willingly lie dormant until they are all devoured and wiped out.

"It's the Death Knight."

Bandak spoke slowly: "And the skeleton cavalry. ”

"Huh?" Kant raised an eyebrow.

"Similar to knights who have been seduced by the power of the underworld, but they belong to cavalry who have been transformed by the power of the undead after death." Bandak explained: "It seems to be a mobile force of the undead. ”

Kant's face was gloomy, he had already understood the concept of a death knight or skeleton cavalry.

This has been accepted in a previous life, and it is very easy for the brain to make up the concept map.

But Kant's face was even more unsightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Originally, I thought that these undead were skeletons and zombies, but I really didn't expect that even the death knights and skeleton cavalry appeared, would they finally give me something like a bone dragon?" ”

In Kant's impression, the undead do have such a thing.

And in this world, there is actually a creature like a dragon, although it has already become a legend in the age of the gods, but thinking about it makes people feel a little palpitating!
