Chapter 412. Sudden war
Kant's wait in the city of "Aaron" was not long.
As the desert bandits delivered the order, reinforcements from the castle of "Drehem" immediately set off, all of them cavalry troops, extremely mobile, and had reached the mountain pass post in just 7 days.
It's just that the troops mobilized this time are not the heavy cavalry of the Kant's traditional Swadia Kingdom.
Rather, the troops of the Salander Sultanate.
500 Mamluks.
1500 Salander riders.
2,000 desert bandits, officially formed this cavalry unit.
The appearance of the equipment that is semi-independent of the Calradia continent makes these cavalrymen of the Salander Sultanate undoubtedly show their fierce aura, and their powerful momentum is no less than that of the Swadia Kingdom.
They are also the best of the best, able to go head-to-head and crush any powerful cavalry that stands in the way of the enemy!
The Sultanate of Salander was originally a cavalry power.
The top cavalry Mamluks were second only to the knights of the Swadia kingdom.
Even the 4th level cavalry Salander riders, because their horses were not armoured, were slightly inferior to the Swadia heavy cavalry and the pikemen of the Kugit Khanate, but they belonged to the assault cavalry, and they were still strong.
On a frontal battlefield, it is still possible to ignore any infantry.
Including the Rhodok and the Nords.
On the plain battlefield, cavalry is the real main force.
And at the pass where Kant was about to establish a new village, with the exception of the Rythniston River, whether it was north and south or east and west, it was actually a vast plain area!
These cavalry were not the only ones in the army.
Infantry is indispensable.
An infantry platoon of the Rhodoks.
Just like their reputation, they are tenacious and tenacious, like the stones of the Rhodok Mountains.
Heavy iron armor was draped over the body, a thick shield was carried on the shoulders, a heavy and sharp war knife or one-handed war hammer was carried around the waist, and a heavy two-handed machete like a war halberd was strapped to the back, like a humanoid tank.
As we walked, the equipment collided with each other and made a soft, clattering sound.
500 Sergeants of Rhodok.
1,000 Rhodoc veteran spearmen.
500 veteran Rhodoc crossbowmen.
This was the main force of infantry drawn from the city of "Aaron", the city of the Rhodocs.
Of course, there was also support from the Kingdom of Livingston, with 500 Livingston Ranger joining the ranks of the Rhodoks as a filler for crossbowmen to shoot gaps.
But this filling firepower is no less than the fire of a crossbowman with a heavy crossbow.
The cone-headed arrows were as dense as a rainstorm.
Continuous.
Any enemy will be helpless against this elite group of archers.
Perhaps the single cone-headed arrows of these Livingston rangers do not do as much damage as the heavy crossbows of Rhodok's veteran crossbowmen, and the steel bolts they use are more powerful, but they are better than continuous.
Each ranger is equipped with 60 cone-headed arrows.
The duration of the shot is longer.
Combined with the extremely powerful heavy crossbow that exploded in an instant, it was simply a pair made in heaven.
Faced with a terrifying steel bolt, the enemy was shot through his armor in pieces and fell to the ground in agony.
And those lucky ones scattered in fear, but they didn't expect that the denser cone-headed arrows followed closely behind, and they continued to output, and they were killed one by one on the way forward.
A total of 6,000 troops are about to depart.
The city of "Aaron" even sent out a lot of civilians to follow as a food transport team.
These are future supplies.
When the troops go out to fight, the logistics line must be absolutely guaranteed.
But it's also good that the roads are well developed in the ancient passages, not only the stone roads that are easy to march, but also the waterways that can supply and transport supplies, as long as people make a few simple rafts, they can carry supplies down the river.
Of course, if the [Water Bandits' Lair] is built, there will be a special oar-sled warship to be responsible for transportation.
And there are also transit stations for supplies.
It's that dungeon.
Kant had already arranged for someone to go over in advance and prepare to renovate the dungeon.
That dungeon doesn't need redundant buildings, just converts it into a material storage and transit station, as well as a logistics and armament point, so that no matter what happens, it can provide timely support.
After all, the dungeon is just over a day away from the estuary.
It's just the speed of a horseback.
It's faster if it's by water!
At that time, the dungeon that used to be the shelter and sealing place of the ancient gods will become the city of "Aaron" and the new village, a crucial node, through which a large number of materials will continue to reach the village.
At the same time, in some times of crisis, the village can retreat and enter the dungeon to temporarily avoid danger.
Just wait for the troops to come.
You can counterattack at any time.
This was also the plan of Kant and James.
This plan is also going on in an orderly manner over time.
A large amount of supplies drifted down the raft to the dungeon, where it was carried ashore by the farmers waiting there on hooks and piled up in a makeshift warehouse that had been built in advance.
And the troops that have been mobilized have also been stationed in the dungeon.
Torches are lit.
The entire dungeon is brightly lit.
A temporary transit command has been established, with Kant and James temporarily stationed there.
At the same time, when Kant went to the mouth of the river and established a new village, James would also be stationed here for a short time, using the materials of the "Aaron" city to fully supply the use and development of the new village.
Everything went very smoothly.
But accidents still happen.
Bloodied elite desert bandits rode their horses.
With an anxious face, he half-knelt in front of Kant, and reported quickly: "Lord Kant! Just 2 days ago, we were attacked by forces from the Dark Red Cult, and Lord Rolf had already repelled several attacks, but they were menacing and outnumbering, and we couldn't hold on any longer! ”
"What?" Kant was slightly stunned, he hadn't reacted yet, that group of guys from the Dark Red Sect dared to directly attack him, which made him feel ridiculous.
Powerful troops are right behind you.
You can go at any time.
But those guys from the Dark Red Sect really don't have any brains, and they really think they don't have the slightest solution.
Taking the initiative to attack yourself is simply tired!
"I see."
Kant nodded.
The figure who was still sitting behind the table also stood up and commanded in a deep voice: "Let all the troops assemble, target the location of the estuary, and prepare to go!" ”
"Yes!"
The desert bandits, who were heralds, were immediately ordered to go out.
Immediately, the sound spread throughout the dungeon.
Troop build-up.
Let's go!
