Chapter 295. The Perception of the Mage's Apprentice (Part 1)

The urn city is the crystallization of the wisdom of city defense.

There was certainly no problem for Kant to build his own castle.

Only an impregnable castle can firmly occupy this place, such as the urn city, and the city fortifications with excellent defense ideas can be built as much as they can.

If the city is well defended, it means that the castle is safe and still has control over the place.

If it weren't for the modern fortress, it would be completely military use, and it would not be able to take into account civilian life and regional development, so Kant estimated that the city wall of the "Drehem" castle would have been completely built into the style of a fortress.

After all, it has become a fortress of all kinds of crossfire, even in the era of cold weapons, it has a strong side.

It also has a good defensive effect on weapons such as siege towers.

But it can't be helped.

A fortress is a complete fortress, a standing fortification that evolved from modern artillery tactics.

No civilians can live in it, let alone build houses, except for the barracks which are tunnels, plus various ammunition depots and fire points, even the barracks are built next to the city walls, so that the role of the entire fortress can be maximized!

At present, it is enough to build two urn cities.

"It's a pity."

Kant felt a little sorry in his heart.

In fact, his strength is still slightly lacking.

The castle was too expensive to build, and it also required a large number of soldiers to garrison it.

Just like the current "Drehem" castle, although there are many crossbowmen, they can only focus on defending one gate, and if the enemy attacks two gates at the same time, the cavalry must dismount to help defend the gate.

The gates are the key.

The 10-meter-high city wall has no high-level siege weapons, and if you want to capture it, it is equivalent to a moat.

No general would make such a stupid mistake.

In contrast, gates, which are iron and wooden objects, can be breached by low-level siege weapons, such as battering cones, rams, or more simply slashing with knives and axes, which can cause some damage to the gates.

Therefore, the key to defending the city actually lies in the defense of the city gate.

For example, crossbowmen on the towers on both sides and arrow towers.

For example, the Kongo Gate, which was reinforced, and the defensive infantry arranged behind the gate.

Now considering the construction of the urn city and the strengthening of the defense ability at the city gate, it is obvious that the defense level of the entire castle has been improved in quality, not to mention that with these invincible iron horsemen under Kant as a threat, it is obviously impossible to attack the city in one go!

"Fatis, you are responsible for the construction of the two urn cities at the southeast gate."

Kant commanded Fatis.

"Yes." Fatis answered.

"Be cautious."

Kant frowned slightly, and there was still a faint throbbing in his heart.

Looking to the north, in the depths of the Naren Desert, he subconsciously touched his heart: "I always feel that something bad is brewing over there..." ”

But even if it is considered a delusion, Kant is still wary of the depths of the Narun Desert in his heart.

The Lost City of the Age of the Gods is over there.

The blood of the sun gods, a golden holy city forged in the depths of the desert!

Even in the underground caves of the ancient passages, there are the remains of those sun gods, and even the demons, undead and gods from the ancient gods period.

If there was nothing in the Golden Holy City, it would definitely not be possible!

Not to mention the so-called saintess.

"I remember inside the temple on the top of the mountain, I once killed a certain woman."

Kant Meditations.

It was also the Divine Descendant who appeared in the golden coffin.

However, because of the turbulent water gushing out near the platform, and because he had no shipbuilding skills, he hadn't taken out the golden coffin, nor did he check on the godborn he had killed.

There is also a succubus that has been killed next to it.

This shows that the war between the gods and the demons has already reached the stage of white-hot and bloody battles.

Otherwise, there would be no place for the Divine Descendants now, and the existence of demons would be required.

"I need to bring more elite troops."

Kant made up his mind.

The Royal Knight and the Lion Knight he currently has are the best helpers to keep him safe.

As for the ordinary top cavalry, he didn't plan to bring too much, after all, too many people were not as convenient as a few elites, not to mention going to the unknown depths of the desert, where there might be a Golden Holy City.

30 Swadia knights, 20 lion knights, that's enough.

He looked slightly stunned.

Kant made a decision in his heart: "There is also a mage apprentice!" ”

Although all 7 mages remained in the town of "Aaron", the current "Drehem" castle, with the recruitment of recent days, the number of mage apprentices has re-increased to 5.

Although it is not very useful, at least it is a mage who has been exposed to mysterious magic.

If you encounter something related to the magic element, you can also be the first to warn Kant or make suggestions.

Since decided.

"Alright, that's it."

Kant said: "Fatis, you come to arrange the supplies for this trip." ”

"Yes." Fatis nodded.

Soon, all the supplies were ready.

Each person was well prepared to carry a five-day supply of fresh water and food, as well as the necessary fire-starting items and flammable charcoal, plus a leather jacket to protect against the cold and a tent to protect from the scorching sun.

After all, they are all extraordinary knights, and the war horses under their crotches seem to be otherworldly, and they can't be regarded as conventional war horses.

The load capacity becomes extremely high.

Just as knights possess extraordinary powers, these horses may be tainted with this mysterious and powerful transcendent power.

If it is placed in the Sanwaya Mountains, I am afraid that when the demonized creatures are believed, after all, they can gallop quickly, and move at an instantaneous speed with a fully armed knight on their bodies, ordinary war horses will definitely not be able to do it.

For example, the furious charge of the ordinary Swadian knight at the pinnacle.

Keeping up with the normal marching speed of a royal knight is actually a very difficult choice.

After noon, the scorching sun eased slightly.

It was about 2 p.m.

"Lord Kant, please take care of yourself and stay safe."

Fatis stood in front of the city gate and said with great concern: "Only your existence can prove the value of our existence. ”

The many knights and marksmen behind him all looked at Kant eagerly.

If their lords are in need, they are willing to step forward and join this mission deep into the desert and the unknown to protect Lord Kant as their own responsibility, even if they die in battle!

But Kant didn't need too many people.

This exploration is considered to be light, and it is only based on exploration.

After crossing the saline land, it is the unfamiliar Naren Desert in the heartland, and further inside, there is the devil's zone that the high-ranking jackals of the Greymane Kingdom call the devil's zone, which may be the cause of the sandstorm a month ago.

That's where Kant intended to explore.

"It won't be a problem."

Kant nodded.

With his legs lightly slamming the horse's belly, he supported the king's sword on his waist, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!" ”

The royal knight and the lion knight behind him immediately followed.

At the same time, the five mage apprentices, also riding on five sturdy pack horses, moved forward at a constant speed on Kant's side, heading towards the depths of the desert, and soon the whole team left the range of the sentry oasis.

With the slightly slower temperature, the march was not an ordeal.

The journey was uneventful.

Several corpses of gnolls can also be seen on both sides of the road.

They were all dirty, low-grade gnolls, skinny and jerky, already sunburned.

Kant's eyes swept over.

There is not the slightest hint of mercy.

If he hadn't plundered these gnolls in the first place, risked destroying their camps and wells, or even defended against the attacks of his cousins, the high-ranking gnolls, then they should have been the ones who turned into jerky now.

No, it should be said that it will turn into a pile of useless, unrecognizable, gnoloid droppings!

Humans are a delicious and tender meat for the gnoll recipe!

Big fish eat little fish!

This is the Naren Desert, and the law of the jungle is even more cruel.

It is impossible for the resources in the desert to sustain two forces, and even if it is difficult to maintain one force, it is impossible to let the low-level gnolls and Kant's castle coexist peacefully!

There is an essential conflict between the two sides.

Right to Live!

Whoever wants to survive must occupy the resources of the entire Narun Desert.

Just as Kant, who has already won the victory and gained control of the Naren Desert, he has obtained the ultimate right to live, and then can become a higher level of victory.

This is the law of the jungle.

The gnoll is weak, so he can only be eaten by Kant.

Only by eating this meat can Kant gain a stronger body and eat the flesh of other weak people.

Layer upon layer of association.

The weak can only fail and turn into wreckage to show their sorrow.

But so what?

The strong never care about the defeat of the weak!

All the way to the large camp of the once low-level gnolls, from a distance, a dozen low-level gnolls were fleeing, as if they had been discovered.

However, Kant did not give the order to attack.

Now he doesn't care about these low-level gnolls who have been scattered.

Or that this group of former opponents has lost the ability to threaten him, and they are not even stepping stones!

"Your Lord."

Behind them, the mage apprentices pointed ahead and said, "That's where we sensed a small convergence of water elementals. ”

They were pointing in the direction of the big camp.

There was a huge sand pit that seemed to have been dug by the inferior gnolls.

Kant nodded: "Yes, there used to be a well there. ”

"Let's go over and see."

Kant tapped the horse's belly.

Lead the team over, after all, this is also the place where he once fought bloodily.

The knights behind him immediately followed.

Soon arrived at the former large camp, the sandstorm had swept away all the darkness left by the fire, only a messy puddle, and the surrounding messy footsteps and leftover bones.

There are desert antelopes and jackals.

It looks very tragic.

But Kant didn't care, and looked into the puddle.

The bottom of the four- or five-meter-deep puddle was sprinkled with various stones, but the bottom was still blocked by a large amount of sand, and only the water bubbled out of the ground, which was half a meter small, and it was extremely turbid.

If Kant wants to drink, he has to filter it.

This is the well that he destroyed directly.

"Well, the bottom of this puddle..."

The mage apprentices closed their eyes slightly, and after perceiving it, they said to Kant: "It seems that there is an underground dark river, and we perceive a very strong water element, although it is separated by a layer of sand, we can still perceive that the amount of water is very abundant, so we can seep out these fresh water upwards to form this small puddle." ”.
