Chapter 065. The returning troops

The night is in the sky, and the sky is full of stars.

By moonlight, Kant led his troops back to the ruins of the Gnoll tribe.

The makeshift camp was still here, and Kant had planned to exterminate the gnolls in the salt mines, so he returned with his troops, and only after resting and replenishing fresh water did he return home.

Arrange the sentry and replacement personnel, and everyone goes to sleep.

Despite the fighting, they didn't have much time to rest.

At dawn the next day.

The soldiers of Swadia all woke up consciously, greeting each other groggily, stretching their waists, looking at the fish white at the edge of the sky in front of them, and gradually recovering their consciousness.

They all slept in armor last night.

When I woke up in the morning, my muscles were a little sore and painful.

But no one cares about that.

In the depths of the dangerous desert, it is possible to encounter enemies at any time, and if you take off your armor and sleep, you can only kill yourself, in case you encounter a surprise enemy, then it will not be easy for them to quickly put on their armor.

For the sake of life, sleeping in armor is a wise choice.

Of course, the chain mail worn by the war horse will be lifted.

These delicate animals don't wear the chainmail that covers their bodies, and the weight of this makes them sleep all night standing up, and probably not have the strength to pull out their hooves trapped in the sand the next day.

"We're all busy, we're ready to go."

Someone was shouting, loudly passing Kant's command, getting everyone moving.

Now, they have a lot more to do.

The makeshift camp was quickly packed up and stacked on top of the three wagons that had been brought.

Before it was dawn, they had to set off quickly.

This is wisdom in the desert.

It is also a necessary rule of survival in the desert.

Diurnal and nocturnal are sometimes the key to survival.

The water bladder is filled, and this well, along with the groundwater, can be replenished with fresh water quite easily, and no amount of water is drawn, the water level will not drop too much, and it will be replenished by the groundwater very quickly.

That's why more than 2,000 gnolls rely on this well to survive.

But now, Kant had an idea.

For him, the well was temporarily useless, and there was not even much chance of using it in the future, after all, there was more water at the sentry oasis, and this well was just redundant.

It can even finance the enemy and replenish them with fresh water.

"Fatis."

Kant turned his head and greeted his knight not far away.

"Lord Kant, is there any arrangement?" Fatis walked briskly.

"Yes." Kant nodded, not hiding his thoughts, and said to him: "Is there a way to plug this well?" I don't want to wait for us to leave, and those gnolls will call us a threat with the help of this well. ”

"That's right..."

Fatis was slightly stunned: "But Lord Kant, we sent people to mine the salt mine, and we also need the well water here. ”

From the salt mine to the sentry oasis, it takes a total of 2 days to travel.

If you want to mine the salt mines, you have to be like the gnolls, stationed in the salt mines, delivering food and water every day, or replacing tired miners.

But it is precisely a 2-day journey, which is quite inconvenient for supplies.

The food is good to say, it is stable in the dry desert and shelf, and the most important thing is fresh water.

Miners are inherently tiring jobs.

The treatment is also a natural salt mine with extremely high salinity.

This, combined with the desert temperatures, increases the daily amount of fresh water that miners need.

Relying solely on the transportation of the sentry oasis is too unrealistic, so filling this well means that Kant must limit the number of miners in the future, otherwise the supply of fresh water will become a drag.

It is for this reason that Fatis discouraged.

"Forget it." Kant sighed.

Turning his head to look at the burning gnoll tribe, he said indifferently: "There are not many gnolls who dare to continue to return here, and even if they come back, we can still kill them." ”

"You're right, Lord Kant." Fatis nodded.

Now, even if the heavy cavalry does not move, these 41 Swadia light infantry alone are enough to deal with 500 gnolls.

The infantry arrays in full iron armor are still the elite who have been tested on the battlefield for a long time, and it is really easy to deal with a group of low-level gnolls who are primitive and low, who only know how to rush up in a mess and have no tactics at all.

And the most critical.

It is estimated that those gnolls, now seeing Kant's troops, will be so frightened that they turn around and run.

They have been completely defeated in their hearts, and it is not so easy to recover.

"Ready to go."

Kant beckoned forward, turned on his horse, and began his return journey with his troops.

Fatis also rode his horse to follow.

This was the first time they had taken the initiative to attack other enemies, and those who remained in the sentry oasis did not have their own defensive forces, only more than 30 construction workers were helping to watch over the house.

According to Kant's calculations.

Two days later it was the weekend, just in time to get back to the Sentry Oasis.

When the Swadia standard house is built, the system workers from Suno will be able to complete their tasks and leave and return to the continent of Calradia.

It's all planned.

The journey home is peaceful.

No gnolls were encountered, and no danger was encountered.

The speed of going back is also a lot faster.

Travel day and night.

By the afternoon of the second day, I had already seen the green of the sentry oasis.

Hundreds of date palm trees on 2 acres of land are swaying their branches and leaves, and the green appearance seems to bring coolness to this sultry desert and add a comfortable and relaxing green.

They're finally back.

Everyone is a dusty man.

The march was almost rapid, and everyone was not well rested in the desert.

Strive to come back in the shortest possible time.

And Kant stood on the sand dunes, looking at the date palms on both sides of the spring at the bottom, and the neatly arranged houses, with a sense of relief and pride on his face, this is his village.

"Keep walking, and everyone will be able to rest well when we go back!"

Fatis also spoke, pursed his chapped lips, and loudly cheered up the morale of the soldiers: "We are home!" ”

"Hooray!"

The soldiers were cheering, their faces tired, but their eyes were full of excitement.

The continuous fighting, as well as the long trek, exhausted their physical strength.

Even Kant sighed lightly in his heart.

He understands that his strength is far from enough, and he knows from this raid on the Gnoll tribe that if it weren't for the help of the system, it wouldn't be as easy as it is now.

300 people before departure.

When I returned, there were less than 100 people.

Kant also had to lament the cruelty of war.

"However, this harvest is enough to make up for the loss." Kant was at peace of mind.

41 Svadia light infantry.

46 Svadia heavy cavalry.

5 Salander riders.

This is the only class left, but whether it is the light infantry of the 3rd class or those of the 4th level cavalry, they are all elites, and they cannot be compared with the previous recruits and militias.

The 92 soldiers that Kant has at present can easily defeat the previous 300 troops.

This is just one of the fruits of a great victory.

There are also 10,000 dinars, 1,000 prestige, and 10 honors.

Although the upgrade cost more than 2,000 dinars, there is still a balance of more than 8,000 dinars, which is enough for Kant's current expenses.

But what he likes the most is the 10 points of honor.

This means that Kant can randomly draw 10 gift packs in the system mall!

The system is produced and must be a high-quality product.

As long as Kant's luck is not bad, then drawing anything is the most rewarding thing.

The current sentry oasis is like a child who continues to nourish.

All are welcome!
