Chapter 093. Post-war liquidation of forces
The battle ended easily.
12 cavalrymen of the so-called Demon Fangs bandit regiment, and 4 vassal knights with strong combat power.
And the 40 armed militiamen with spears and leather armor, who seemed to have a certain amount of combat effectiveness, were now all lying in the desert, allowing the strong smell of blood to permeate.
Salander riders and desert bandits rode back and forth with elite scimitars and flanged staffs.
They were cleaning up the battlefield.
Or a mending knife.
Anyone twitching and struggling to get up will eventually be spotted by them, and they will walk over and stab the chest with an elite scimitar made of steel in their hands, completely shredding their lungs.
If it's a desert bandit, it's much more so, and he raises his flanged staff and smashes a pit at the back of his head.
Kant's order was not to take prisoners.
In other words, it's to let all these guys die here with honor.
Manid is counting the results.
After counting the corpses of the enemy, he rode his horse to Kant: "My lord, everything is settled. β
"Hmm." Kant nodded: "How about the results." β
Manid reported: "12 bandit cavalry, 4 vassal knights, 40 armed militiamen, all annihilated, no one survived. After a pause, he shrugged his shoulders and continued: "There are no casualties on our side. β
"Yes." The smile on Kant's lips was tinged with a hint of mockery.
Just came into contact with the sphere of influence of the Principality of Lion, and encountered such a wonderful performance.
Although he did not suffer losses, he made Kant's heart awe-inspiring.
Turning his head slightly, he looked at the beautiful woman in the white dress lying on her back on the sand, and on her fair and lovely face, a stubby iron crossbow arrow appeared at the center of her eyebrows, making her eyes bulge a lot due to the instantaneous pressure, destroying the overall beauty.
"Such a little person, with such a shallow routine, really think I'm a fool?"
The corners of Kant's mouth were still sarcastic, but there was indifference in his eyes.
He had expected that his return to the Lion Principality would definitely cause vigilance and backlash from certain forces, but he didn't expect that this backlash would be so rapid and violent that he planned to kill him at the first time, so that he would be completely annihilated in the vast sea of sand and never turn over.
Taking a deep breath, a dialog box appeared on Kant's retina.
γDing... After your hard work, the enemy was finally wiped out. γ
[Temporary Mission: "Waves of Trouble" completed]
[Reward: Weapon: Machete]
[Introduction: When you choose to reappear in your homeland, you should understand that trouble is coming. And the troubles are continuous, and waves will come to you. Be prepared, this is just the beginning. γ
This is the dialog box for the completion of the temporary task.
Kant exhaled, his eyes filled with extreme gloom.
This performance is full of flaws, just like a novel by a third-rate writer, with often wrong data and many bugs.
Kant certainly wouldn't believe it was an accident.
Of course, the Demon Fanged Bandit Group is famous, and it can't be exterminated for several years wreaking havoc in North County, but how can it appear in a barren and uninhabited area like the Narun Desert, still chasing the seemingly weak and helpless merchant daughter?
So when Kant saw this scene, he knew that it was not an accident.
It's a conspiracy.
What's more, a temporary mission appeared in the system immediately afterward, which made Kant sure that this was a conspiracy against him.
Kant hinted at his cavalry.
Killing is inevitable.
By relieving this group of people, Manid, who already had a clear mind and understood what Kant meant, gave an order to let the Salander riders and desert bandits directly burst out, and in less than 10 seconds, they completely annihilated these bandits.
At the same time, in this way, the 4 vassal knights were slowed down, and through the instant upsurge, they won the final victory.
Sneak attacks are always the best tactic.
As for the 40 armed militiamen, they can hardly be called enemies at all.
Even with a spear, the morale of the 4 leaders was greatly reduced because of the direct killing, and in the end 15 cavalry were wiped out in the desert unscathed, and no one escaped alive.
Simple, straightforward, and efficient results.
There is no live mouth.
Again, there are no worries.
As for whether Baron Dylan will eventually find the corpses in this desert, the responsibility has nothing to do with Kant.
Even if there are 4 vassal knights among them.
But robbing Kant, the baron of the Duchy of Lion, and being killed was a self-defeating act, and no law would have taken effect on Kant, and even Baron Dylan, as a canonized lord, would be punished and reprimanded from a higher title.
"Next time, remember to tell Baron Dylan about it."
Kant turned his head and said to Manid next to him: "I think he is a smart man and will know how to deal with it." β
"Yes." Manid looked down in response.
It's as simple as that, in the face of lucrative benefits, Baron Dylan will not tear his face.
What's more, most of the responsibility is on his side.
Thinking of the captured supplies, Manid opened his mouth and asked Kant: "My lord, in this battle we captured 14 horses, 4 sets of chain mail and 52 sets of leather armor of various styles, as well as spears, swords and other weapons. β
The horses that fled the battlefield and did not flee far were all led back by the desert bandits.
There are also the weapons and equipment of those who died in the war, all of which have been picked down and piled together, which seems to be quite a lot.
But Kant frowned slightly.
Sweeping through those spears and leather armor, which had the most weapons, he couldn't help but ask, "What about the quality?" β
"Very bad." Manid replied, "It's all inferior." β
"Sure enough." Kant shook his head and casually ordered: "Go back with their horses, and dispose of them all in the market the next time you come to the Solid Stone Pass, they are all inferior to us, and they are good weapons for those mercenaries and militiamen." β
"Yes, sir." Manid nodded.
These weapons and equipment are all standard products, although Kant has a systematic disdain, but for ordinary mercenary groups, and even the knightly conscripted peasants and armed militiamen, they are all high-quality goods.
You know, in this world of low productivity, the knights summoned the conscripted peasants, even with dung forks.
"Let's keep walking."
Kant commanded.
This is a farce on the way home.
Packing up their booty, they rode their horses and continued their march into the depths of the Naryn Desert.
However, there were nearly twice as many horses as the original team, and the booty was also carried by these horses, and they marched along the desert like a caravan to trade in the Oasis of Sentinel.
This was the prototype of the caravan.
It's just that on the desert outside the rocky pass, dozens of stripped corpses are lying there naked.
Of course, there is also a beautiful woman among them, still wearing a white dress, if you don't look at the crossbow arrow at the center of your eyebrows, you may think that this is a noble girl who is enjoying the desert sunbath.
Quiet, feminine, pitiful.
But the strong smell of blood around made this tranquility clean.
About half a day passed.
Near noon, five hooded men on horseback finally discovered the battlefield.
After a quick inspection of the battlefield, they quickly took the woman's corpse and turned the horse's head as if frightened, and ran towards the solid stone pass in embarrassment, following the hidden path, and went back to their old den to report.
After a while, the news spread all over the place, so that some people in the entire Jianshi Pass knew about the tragic situation here.
But the strange thing is that there is no abnormal movement.
It's like they're all in hibernation, waiting for someone else to act.
