Chapter 192. A week of changes
Time flies.
A week has officially passed.
It's Wednesday of the week.
Sanwaya Mountains, the entrance to the mountains.
James and Manid were riding their horses in front of them, along with seven Ravenston rangers, 13 Swadian sergeants, and 10 Swadian snipers, along with 30 camels laden with supplies.
Behind the caravan were 50 heavily armed Swadia knights, holding giant cone-headed guns.
This time, the troops sent in the Sentry Oasis were all level 5 elite troops.
Combat effectiveness is extremely guaranteed.
Returning to Manid in the Sentry Oasis, the dangers and predicaments encountered by the established village of "Aaron" were clearly explained to Fatis and James.
To ensure the safety of Lord Kant, as well as the stability of "Aaron".
James took the order directly.
Once again, Manid led the way, and immediately set off with the accompanying troops requested by Kant, and also brought an additional 50 Swadian knights, so that these high-level troops who could charge on horseback and could also fight side by side followed, as a supplement to the combat power, to ensure that Lord Kant was foolproof.
Your own life is negligible.
But for them, Kant, the lord, is their supreme position in this world!
Hard trek.
It took them three days to reach the entrance to the Sanvaya Mountains from the sentry oasis, and it has to be said that these dromedaries played an absolute role, although the speed of the short sprint could not catch up with the Swadia heavy horses under the crotch of the Swadia knight, but the effect of the long journey, day and night, was already obvious.
The Svadia Heavy War Horse was already very tired from the torture of the desert.
But the dromedaries are still at ease.
If the distance between the sentry oasis and the Sanwaya Mountains is farther away, it is estimated that the horses under the crotches of these Swadian knights will be tired and panting, and even dehydrated or sick due to the cruel environment.
The desert is not an environment where heavy cavalry excels.
Even if the system blessed the abilities of these heavy cavalry, it still couldn't adapt to the long journey in the desert.
This is also the weakness of Kant's troops, which is more embarrassing.
Long-distance raids and strategic attacks can only rely on the Desert Bandits, the Desert Bandits Elite, and the Salander Riders who are less combative.
As for the fully armored Svadian knights, the Svadian heavy cavalry, and the Mamluks.
can only move around strongholds.
In other words, it can only be carried out strategic defense or tactical attack, as for the long-distance rush to carry out strategic attack, it is simply impossible, and the logistics and physical requirements alone are extremely challenging.
Once Kant was emotional.
If there is a Nile River in the desert of North Africa, which is similar to the Nile River on the earth, and the Euphrates River and Tigris River in the Middle East desert region, this kind of large river that can pass through the desert, it would be good if he had a system, and he would definitely be able to quickly grow into a hegemon-level character.
Rivers can be used as transport routes, allowing these hoplites to strategically strike.
And not like now.
A powerful heavy cavalry unit that can only operate near the Sentry Oasis.
This is also where Fatis is a little haunted.
The high-ranking gnolls of the Greymane Kingdom have already been defeated, so they currently don't see an enemy of this scale in a short period of time, which makes him, who is eager to make a career and take the goal of redemption for Lord Kant in this world, there is also some secret anxiety in his heart.
But he needs to wait, and Kant needs to wait.
They also need to develop.
Although the current strength is sufficient, it cannot really shake the power of either side.
The coast of Mannheim on the shores of the Sea of Stars is full of races and complex relationships, and although Kant defeated one of them, the High Gnoll Expeditionary Force of the Graymane Kingdom, it does not mean that he can crush this kingdom.
This is because of the geographical advantage.
The vertical wall is clear.
The plan developed by Kant and Fatis was successful.
Because no one can cross the Naren Desert without adequate supplies, and still be able to carry out a protracted and tragic siege battle, which is unrealistic.
But even so, the high-level gnolls of the Greymane Kingdom still broke out with absolute combat power.
Kant already had some scruples in his heart.
If the distance between the two is sufficient.
The former gnoll captives were right, these high-ranking gnolls were indeed invincible on the coast of Mannheim on the route of the melee heavy infantry, so invincible that the lizardmen could only rely on fortresses and bows and crossbows for defense, so invincible that even those elves could only reluctantly offer friendly letters of trade cooperation and peace.
Drehem is still weak, including against the Duchy of Lions.
Although Kant was confident.
If you launch a surprise attack, you can easily capture the Solid Stone Pass.
But Kant's strength will also be exposed.
The next thing that greeted him was definitely not the welcome of the Lion Principality to the strong, but the thoroughness, for the fear of a potential threat, he would not hesitate to unite and use the power they had cultivated in the Lion Principality for a hundred years to crush Kant to death in the sentry oasis.
This time it will be so thorough that Kant will not even be given the opportunity to continue the exile.
They wanted a corpse that could no longer threaten them.
………………
Stone-paved roads have been built, and they follow the various hills of the Sanwaya Mountains, with slight curvings leading from the village of "Aaron" to the entrance to the mountain where Kant had entered.
The 3-meter-wide pavement is raised by neatly cut stones, the gaps are filled with lime, and drainage channels are dug on both sides of the reinforced roadbed to prevent waterproofing.
The most important thing is that there are finally roads in the complex environment of the mountains.
This means you can move quickly without having to worry about the hassle of a complex environment.
Even cavalry can move quickly.
This made the Swadia knights, who had had enough of the soft sand of the desert, directly smack the belly of their horses, speed up their march, and quickly went to the village of "Aaron" along the mountain road, eager to protect their Lord Kant.
And the 30 dromedaries are still walking unhurriedly in the back.
Infantry and crossbowmen accompanied them on both sides.
With these rangers, sergeants, and sniper crossbowmen, allowing ordinary demonized creatures to come over is to send them to death, even if they are murderous demonic creatures, they will be killed by these elites if they are careless.
The Ravenston Ranger is a top-tier archer and archer.
Svadia sergeants are the best heavily defended infantry.
And Svadia sniper shooters.
Even if you use a heavy crossbow, it's not as strong as a siege crossbow, but the experience of being a sniper shooter is still here.
Far, medium and near three layers of defense.
This is also the reason why Kant asked these troops to come over to help defend them, and their joining is the moment when the strength of the "Aaron" village increases, even if there are demonic creatures of the murderous species, there is no need to worry too much.
Anyway, those demonic creatures are beasts.
Although close-quarters combat is far stronger than humans, humans have intelligence, command, and weapons.
As long as you avoid the long and the short.
Even the final outcome of the demonized creature is just to dig out the heart and become Kant's trophy.
And in just 7 days, Kant led the troops of the Rhodok Kingdom, based on the Mamluks and Ravenston rangers, to sweep the surrounding mountains, as well as besiege several evil caves, those shoddy demonized wolf raids, the original 50 Rhodok farmers and 10 Rhodok people, have all been upgraded to level 3 troops.
40 Rhodok skilled spearmen.
20 Rhodok skilled crossbowmen.
It is these level 3 troops, forming a dense spear phalanx, coupled with crossbow shooting and the constant rain of arrows from the Livingston Ranger, that can already hold off the shoddy demonic wolves inside the evil cavern.
And with the recent experience of more and more fights, more and more intensive, there are signs of escalation.
The upgrade will be uniformly upgraded.
At that time, the village of "Aaron" will usher in a new batch of level 4 troops.
It's all thanks to the dangers of the Sanwaya Mountains.
Or the help of the Mamluks and Ravenston Rangers, if it weren't for the 20 Rangers at the beginning, who took out most of the enemies first with their superb archery skills, it is estimated that these low-level soldiers of Rhodok would have suffered heavy losses long ago, and they could only let Kant lead the upgrade in batches, where would it be as simple as now.
In a short time, James and 50 Swadian knights were rumbling on the paved road and quickly came to the bottom of the hill where the village of "Aaron" was located.
The slope of this hill is not very steep.
The east and south sides are both cliffs, and the evil cave on the west side to the halfway point of the mountain is flat, but further down is also a cliff, and only the area on the north side where there was a ruin stone path is a 40-degree slope.
Not to mention that it is easy to walk, even a war horse can rush up directly.
It's just that at the top of the mountain, a half-meter-high wall has circled the edge of the mountain, temporarily marking the current range of the "Aaron" village, although it can't stop the demonic creatures that really want to invade, but it's no problem to hinder some beasts.
Thousands of acres of land can be quite vast.
The Consulate Hall was only built in the center of the north side, and even if there were 10 more houses, it would be a small existence for these thousands of acres of flat vacant land.
And just to the south, the wall has been repaired.
But the dense forests and dense shrubs have not yet been cut down by the Rhodoks.
There is at least an area of more than 400 acres.
According to the calculations of Kant and the architectural leader, the overall area of this mountain top is about 1,600 acres, which is completely close to the land area of a small village.
PS: 5th update. Slow down, start writing at eight in the morning. Hmm, I saw that the child didn't get up in the morning last night... However, there will be 3 more shifts this afternoon. If you can, let's get some recommended votes~ Thank you!
