Chapter 111. The crisis that continues to emerge

Kant's character is to do what he says.

Moreover, the reoccupation of the salt mines is also the main strategic policy for the development of the Sentry Oasis.

Kant did not want to let the gnolls who had been defeated and scattered regain a foothold in the salt mines and the ruins of the tribes, and as time went on to develop into a tribe that was not weak.

Although the Narun Desert is vast, resources are extremely scarce.

And the forces that can survive and develop in this barren land, Kant only allows one, and that is himself.

As for the life and death of those gnolls.

What does it have to do with him?

After lunch and a short rest, the order to assemble was given.

The 20 Salander riders and 25 elite desert bandits arrived and waited outside the east gate, looking at the man on horseback, and talking to each other with a sinister smile on his face, obviously not taking this expedition to heart.

This group of bandits from the Salander Desert has always been unafraid of heaven and earth.

With Kant, there is no need to worry about falling into danger because of the underestimation of the enemy.

They are all desert bandits who lick blood on their heads, and they despise the enemy because of their unruly habits, although life and death are fateful, but they don't see anyone who wants to really think, with Kant leading, they will only be more cautious.

This sortie, clearing up the gnolls who had occupied the ruined wells and salt mines, was only one of the missions.

It also includes coarse salt from the salt mine, which should be brought back and boiled in batches.

There's not much patience on the other side of the rocky pass.

"Ready?"

Kant walked out of the city gate and looked at the 55 cavalrymen in front of him, his face softened slightly.

Time waits for no one.

It takes a day to go from the sentry oasis to the ruins of the tribe, not to mention the need to go to the natural salt mine in the flower room, back and forth, plus boiling salt and boiling salt, and then leading the team to the Jianshi Pass, the time can be long.

In this way, it will take a week.

Fatis followed behind him, and when he heard a little anxiety in Kant's voice, he spoke, "It's all ready." ”

This sortie was arranged by him, and after thinking about it in his heart, and after confirming that it was correct, he said in an affirmative tone: "The camels and supplies are also ready, and after arriving at the natural salt mine, you can directly mine coarse salt and bring it back." ”

"Well done." Kant nodded in satisfaction.

Not far from these Salanders, 10 dromedaries were standing honestly.

The sacks of food and water for this trip to the depths of the Narun Desert, as well as the bags used to hold coarse salt, were tended by 10 peasants who went with them as an entourage, and they were well prepared.

The Swadiya infantry brought Kant's horses.

Stepping on the stirrups, Condriso turned on his horse, pulled up his hood and commanded, "Prepare to go." ”

"Ready to go!"

When the Salander riders heard this, the first one immediately shouted.

The originally neat cavalry queue gradually dispersed, and the Salander horses under their crotch snorted, and they all began to move their feet, turning their horses' heads with the pull of the reins, and slowly marching in the predetermined direction.

Fatis, on the other hand, walked a few steps briskly and said to Kant, "My lord, don't you really need to follow more people?" ”

"No, I don't." Kant shook his head.

Looking at the Swadia infantry on the city wall, as well as the light infantry patrolling around the oasis, Kant's face was also more solemn: "Your task is to garrison the fortress, communicate with Manide more, and assign the scope of their respective responsibilities, I don't want to wait for myself to come back and find that my territory is a mess." ”

"Yes, Lord Kant." Fatis spoke with a solemn face.

But his face was still worried.

Having patrolled the depths of the Naren Desert for many days, Fatis clearly understood that even the small gnoll tribes that were originally scattered in the desert were still quite numerous, regardless of the defeated gnolls.

"Don't worry." Kant sensed his concern, chuckled and shook his head, patted his side and said, "I still have this." ”

It was a long stick-like object in a slender linen bag.

The length was like the spears or spears used by the cavalry, but the appearance was slightly bloated, as if something was wrapped in it.

【Enemy Intimidation】

What Kant currently possesses is a strange artifact.

Seeing this put away flag, Fatis's worried face slowed down slightly, but he still reminded: "My lord, the fight on the battlefield is very dangerous, if you can, please pay attention to safety and then consider the victory or defeat on the battlefield." ”

"Well, I'll pay attention." Kant nodded, shook the reins, turned around and galloped.

The horse's hooves sink into the sand, leaving shallow pits.

The speed of the entire team began to pick up, heading towards the depths of the Narun Desert.

Time was tight, and they had to get to the tribal ruins as fast as they could.

There was only a source of water around, and the gnolls who had been defeated and scattered would definitely regroup in the ruins, although they were not as large as they had been, and even without the gnoll shamans who had mastered the mysterious powers, the number of ordinary gnolls would certainly not be too small.

With the current 20 Salander riders and 25 elite desert bandits, although they are light cavalry, there is absolutely no problem in directly attacking the ranks of these ordinary jackals, crushing them alive and defeating them again.

The frightened bird, again and twice.

What's more, [Deterrence of the Enemy] is not vegetarian.

Take the lead in reducing one round of morale, continue to reduce morale as the enemy dies, and several rounds of morale are reduced, almost negative, how can you continue to resist stubbornly, and fight to the death with Kant and them?

This simply can't be possible!

The footprints and traces left by last month's expedition are still clearly visible.

There is very little wind in the Narun Desert, so these footprints and rut marks at the sand dunes want to be eliminated, unless there is a once-in-a-century sandstorm, or it will have to wait for the passage of time and the wind will slowly pick up to eliminate them.

But this time, at least a few months to wait.

So Kant: They don't care if the route is wrong.

Following the traces of the past, the team moved forward quickly, but it was quiet along the way, and there were not many gnolls.

Thirty or forty ordinary gnolls, when they encountered Kant, they turned around and fled, and their panicked appearance was obviously extremely afraid of Kant and his light cavalry, and they did not dare to match them at all.

Initially, Kant also ordered them to be killed.

But it's basically a waste of time, and nothing is gained at all.

Therefore, when continuing to move forward, the small group of gnolls will not pay attention at all, unless there are about a hundred of them, which may cause a little harm to the sentry oasis, Kant will brazenly order, holding the banner of the golden lion on a red background, and lead the team to crush them alive and slaughter them all in the desert to prevent future troubles.

The pace of the troops was still very fast.

The Salander horse, the desert horse, is a horse breed that is suitable for desert areas.

Dromedary camels are also known as the ships of the desert, although they are inferior to horses in short-distance bursts, but they are better than endurance in long-distance travel.

This is the main reason for the speed of progress.

However, fortunately, Kant's camel and war horse did not have an accident.

According to the experience of previous lives, horses are extremely sensitive to the smell of camels and can be quite fearful. The camel will be irritable with the horse, and when the two are put together, it is estimated that the chicken and the dog will jump, and the trouble will be unbearable.

This is also why, the camel cavalry is the absolute nemesis of the war horse cavalry.

That's exactly why.

However, this kind of resistance can only appear in desert areas, after all, in the flat grassland, or other plain areas, the highly mobile war horse cavalry is not afraid of the slow-moving camel cavalry.

But in the desert, the role of the camel cavalry was extremely strong.

This was once shown in a desert in a certain part of the planet.

Historically, the Arabs rode camels and overturned the elite horses and cavalry of countless empires in the desert, including the Byzantine Empire, the Sassanid Persian Empire, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

Truth be told, Kant was quite interested in this.

However, considering that there is no standard camel cavalry in the current cavalry, I can only choose to give up.

The troops marched at a high pace.

Rest at dusk, prepare dinner, and continue the journey after dark, and set up camp until late at night to sleep.

Hurrying at dawn, they soon approached the ruins of the Horde.

From the sentry oasis to the ruins of the Gnoll tribe, only the cavalry marched forward, and it could be reached in one day, even if there were accompanying infantry, more than two days was completely enough, and the distance was not too far.

Kant rode up to the dunes, followed by 10 Salander riders as escorts.

"There are no sentinels."

These Salander riders, who already belonged to the regular army, reported.

Kant snorted coldly: "It seems that these gnolls still think we will let them go?" ”

Not even a sentinel, it's really bold.

Looking down at the sand dunes, there was still a large area of the originally flat desert that was completely black from the fire, littered with ruins and ashes from the ashes.

But in the midst of the ruins, there were tattered tents erected.

"Wait, that's..."

But Kant's eyes narrowed, and he found something unusual.

Among these tattered linen tents, there were more than a dozen tents made of new linen, and even Kant's eyes swept over there, and these new tents had a clear dividing line from other tattered tents.

Just like the Chu River and Han Realm, although they are close, the two will not intersect at all.

Even the gnolls in the rudimentary tents did not dare to approach.

It's like there's some great horror.

Kant was not surprised by this.

Because he had already discovered that in these brand-new tents were gnolls wearing chain mail and holding two-handed battle axes, with clean and smooth hair, definitely not the low-level gnolls that lived in these deserts.

"High Gnoll, is it here again?" He spoke slowly.
