Chapter 438. Strange troops in ambush

The return journey along the way was very smooth, and the troops moved forward, escorting the wagons laden with goods, without encountering the slightest hindrance, not even any armed troops.

Even those civilians, when they saw so many troops passing by, threw down their scythes and pitchforks in panic and took them down.

As for the fortresses of some military symbols along the road, they are even more deserted.

No one dared to stand in the way of Kant's return, especially after being warned by the nobles behind him, all of them were very well-behaved, and they all understood that the Dongjun Commander, who had changed now, could have an accident at any time.

If they are not well-behaved now, it is estimated that the nobles behind them will kill them.

Baron Kant is now the most offending man!

It took nearly 5 days.

The troops were finally approaching the Nord village of Wochze, at the mouth of the river.

It was getting dark, and based on the speed of the daily march, it was estimated that there would be about 6 hours to return to their village, and if the cavalry had returned first, it would have been possible to return in less than 2 hours.

These wagons laden with goods were still a serious slowdown in the march.

"Stop moving."

Kant Zema was in front.

Looking up at the sun that had already sunset, he still raised his hand and ordered: "Let's set up a temporary camp here, rest tonight, set off early tomorrow morning, and strive to return to the village at noon." ”

"Yes!" The herald immediately retreated, relaying the order to everyone.

The troops stopped advancing.

It's approaching evening.

Continue the march, although it will be possible to return to the village in the middle of the night.

But the troops, who have already traveled all day, really need a good rest.

As the order was given, the troops quickly moved into action, and 50 wagons began to besiege the city in a square, with the wagons full of goods on the outside, with planks on the outside, like a wall as high as a man.

Then inside the carriage was the temporary breeding ground for the war horses.

The outermost side is the living tent.

There's a reason for that.

As long as there is any situation, the soldiers sleeping in the tents outside can quickly withdraw to the carriage, whether it is with the help of the fortifications formed by the carriage to hold on to the spot, or it is convenient to break through on horseback.

And in the process of breaking through, leaving those belongings behind can also distract the enemy and not fight too hard.

No amount of possessions is of any use.

Only by surviving can you win the ultimate victory.

Even near his estuary village, Kant was unwilling to relax, and even if he knew that the nobles of the Eastern County were trembling with fear, he was also wary of this.

He now has a very large amount of possessions with him.

Let alone.

There are also salt mines in the Narun Desert.

Kant knew how many people wanted him to die, and he didn't know how many people wanted to seize his property, assets and territory, and Kant knew this very well, so he didn't dare to let his guard down.

Riding his horse, Kant toured the makeshift camp that was gradually taking shape.

The tents were neatly erected.

The horses were also received in a square formation formed by carriages.

However, there were still Rhodok Snipers and Ravenston Rangers, as alert troops, standing on the carriage and watching the situation around vigilantly, and on the outside of the carriage, about 50 meters away from the tent, there were Sergeant Rhodok standing guard, firmly controlling several points of the carriage position.

Just on the periphery, the desert bandits, who were completely dispersed into a three-person team, were also running back and forth, scouting the surrounding situation in batches, and doing a good job in defense.

"That's good."

Kant also nodded in approval when he made his rounds.

Although Bestur was a Kujit, he was the son of a clan chief, otherwise he would not have been personally mediated by the Khan when he took revenge, and he dared to kill his enemies at the risk of offending the Khan.

Of course, this also led to his eventual escape from the Kugit Khanate and exile on the mainland.

Eventually, he came here and became Kant's general.

The same brings his military experience.

For example, the current camp cart formation used to be the best formation of the Kujits, who pulled carts full of various supplies and rode horses like a storm across the Karadia continent, and finally founded the Kugit Khanate.

The Kugit were good at plain field warfare and guerrilla warfare, and in fact they were equally good at defensive warfare.

For every one of them is able to bend his bow and shoot arrows.

Extremely advantageous defensively!

Now, although this formation is not composed of Kugits, relying on the rocky Rhodoks, the Ravenstonians who are good at rapid fire, and the tough heavy horse Muluk, it is basically safe.

Kant looked around and found nothing missing.

Just just got back to their tent.

Bestur hurried in and reported in a quick voice: "Lord Kant, the desert bandits who have been sent out to reconnoiter report that there may be a situation in our south, and that strange troops are gathering and are ambushing. ”

"Debrief." Kant squinted, which was not what he expected.

"Yes."

Besture nodded.

After thinking for a while, he quickly reported: "Just to the east, the desert bandits we released to reconnoitre, found that there were about 3,000 troops ambushed in a forest, and there were farms around, and it seemed that they had been occupied by that group of unfamiliar troops, if we predicted a worse result, maybe that force could reach 5,000+ people." ”

"Interesting." Kant had a playful smile on his lips: "I thought no one would dare to provoke me anymore." ”

"Yes."

Besture nodded: "But we don't know what the other party's intentions are." ”

After a pause, he said solemnly: "But since we came to such a close distance, no more than half an hour away, then it must not be a good thing, it is estimated that it came with hostility." ”

"Obviously, it came with hostility." Kant snorted coldly.

"Then, give the order."

Besture said in a deep voice: "My troops and I are ready, we can give up setting up camp at any time, turn to a combat state, and kill all those guys who don't know what to do!" ”

"It's okay, don't worry."

Kant shook his head.

After thinking for a while, he analyzed: "I don't have much to do with those nobles, maybe the guys of the Dark Red Sect want to break the boat, in order to save their former rights, they want to take advantage of our proximity to the village, and when we are still relaxing our vigilance, they will carry out a surprise attack, defeat and kill all our main forces, and restore the decline of the Dark Red Sect in the East County Territory." ”

"Maybe it's a possibility." Besture nodded: "The Dark Red Sect must be entrenched in the Eastern County Territory, although I haven't really studied this world, but in short, it is similar to the politics of Calradia. ”

"But I can't say for sure."

Kant shrugged: "Those guys from the Dark Red Sect should have been scared to kill." ”

Touching his chin, he still commanded: "Keep an eye on them, don't let them find out that we have discovered them, let the desert bandits be smart, and let me know when they assemble." ”

"Yes." Besture nodded, saluted, left the tent, and went down to make arrangements.
