Lord of the Oasis

Kant's face was solemn.

Riding on his own warhorse, holding the palm of his hand that "deterred the enemy", he was all stained with water.

is sweat.

Because the desert robbers who went out for reconnaissance have come back sporadically at this time.

One person was even missing.

The whereabouts are unknown, which is not a good phenomenon.

Equal to death.

This is already bad news.

And the information brought back by these desert robbers is even more worrying.

The infantrymen who had assembled and waited in line in the street all began to whisper.

They were a little flustered.

"Calm down."

Kant's voice suddenly sounded.

His eyes were like eagle eyes, swept over the troops that had been in a commotion, and shouted loudly: "Only cowards will flee, and the Swadians are never afraid!"

The news of the arrival of 50 squire knights has spread throughout the oasis.

After hearing the news, the infantrymen beside Kant's face were already a little pale.

They are not NPC data, but living people.

There is fear.

There is also excitement.

There is a lot of fighting spirit.

Also frightened.

What's more, they found that they were facing 50 heavily armed heavy cavalry.

Both legs became a little weak.

Because they understand the horror of heavy cavalry.

The Kingdom of Swadia was founded on the basis of cavalry.

Rampage and invincible heavy cavalry on the battlefield is the foundation of the Swadia Kingdom's hegemony, and it is the capital that deter enemy countries from easily offending the frontier.

With their group of low-level troops, in front of 50 heavy cavalry, they were just cannon fodder.

Even if they are equipped with long-pole weapons such as spears and scythes.

To know.

Even in the Kingdom of Rhodok, all the troops were equipped with shields and spears, and they defeated the troops of the Kingdom of Swadia several times in the mountains, but they did not dare to confront these heavily armed cavalry in the plains.

50 Swadian heavy cavalry can easily penetrate 200 infantry troops.

If there are no long pole weapons, even 500 people can't stop these heavy cavalry, and they can only be crushed in the plains.

The 165 infantry of Kant are only low-level arms.

50 heavy cavalry, already equal to the chisel that can break their psychological defense line.

Not to mention 50 heavy cavalry, even 50 ordinary cavalry, such as light cavalry like desert robbers, as long as the tactics are right, they can be easily defeated and wiped out.

Kant understands the same.

Wrinkling his brows, he asked in a condensed voice, "Are they from the Principality of Lions?"

"Yes." The scouting desert robber replied.

After all, only the Principality of Lions borders the Naron Desert.

Taking a deep breath, Kant's face was solemn, and there was a bit of haze in his eyes.

He thought of several bad situations.

Given his embarrassing status in the Principality of Lions, Kant couldn't help but grit his teeth: "Did I choose this place as my territory, these guys still won't let me go?"

Some nobles in the country do not want Kant, the youngest son of the Duke, to be alive.

"Sir, what should I do?"

These Swadian infantrymen all looked at Kant with panic in their eyes.

Unlike gnolls.

Those are just primitive, ignorant, murderous races.

They might not be able to fight recklessly.

And these 50 heavy cavalry, it seems that the number is small, but it is a real army.

fully armed.

Well trained.

Well equipped.

It is a terrifying force that can easily destroy "Dehrim".

them…

Can't fight!

"remember,

Swadians are never cowards. "

Kant's voice was heavy and echoed in everyone's ears.

Because he knows that anyone can panic at this time, and as a lord, the Swadia Kingdom reflects itself in this world, and must not panic.

He wants to stabilize the military.

"Recruits and farmers blocked the streets."

Kant held up the "strength of deterring the enemy" high, and the banner of the golden lion on a red background was fluttering in the wind.

And his deployment was quickly conveyed: "All militiamen are responsible for the top of the house, using hunting crossbows to snipe the enemy!"

"clear!"

Hearing Kant's order, these infantrymen responded loudly.

Although there is still panic on his face, at least the morale has recovered a little with Kant's deployment.

When "Dehrim" was built, the buildings were arranged to form a street, and the same crowded buildings also formed the specifications of the current fortress, which can be guarded against danger.

At least there is no need to confront the cavalry directly on the field and flat ground.

Deployment is complete.

The streets on the left and right sides, 10 meters wide, were already densely packed with infantry.

At the front are the Swadian recruits. The 2-meter spears lie flat, and cooperate with the scythes of the peasants behind to form a primitive and rough phalanx of spears.

On the roof on the side, militiamen armed with hunting crossbows are also preparing.

Not only shoot, disrupt the formation of the enemy's attack, but also jump down to maintain the defense line when the street is dangerous.

The war in Calradia has made these infantrymen familiar with war.

Everything is ready.

Even in the grocery store, the people from the Rivadin caravan that stopped here came.

Wearing chainmail and holding a flanged hammer, the caravan leader had a dignified expression, standing behind Kant with his 6 caravan guards and 12 sentries, waiting and obeying orders.

They're going to work together on defense.

"Lord Kant, Zhivadin's caravan is willing to join this battle and obey your arrangement."

The caravan leader is very forthright.

Kant nodded with a smile on his face: "Thank you very much."

Although the caravan escorts and sentries are both low-level arms of level 2 and 1, they are at least a new force. It is of course excellent to be able to act as reinforcements at this critical moment.

At this time, Kant naturally does not choose.

Time ticks by.

Sunset falls.

The twilight light struggles.

A faint galaxy has appeared in the sky.

"Familiar scene."

Kant squinted slightly, he thought of 8 days ago.

It seems that at this time, with the help of Rowan and those cavalry, he annihilated the gnoll tribe entrenched in the Sentinel Oasis.

It was an enjoyable battle.

But also at this time.

Instead, he became a pitiful creature who was guarding the sentry oasis, waiting for others to attack.

"This feeling is really bad."

Kant clenched his fists.

Waiting quietly for the final battle, Kant heard the exclamation of the Swadian militiaman on the watchtower.

He looked up at the top of the tower, frowned and asked, "What did you find?"

"Big... lord."

The militiaman stuck his head out, pointed to the south and said, "They're here!"

The troops on both sides of the street suddenly made a slight disturbance, and it was obvious that everyone understood that the enemy had arrived.

"They" naturally referred to the 50 heavy cavalry.

However, on the faces of everyone, there was an abnormal calm at this time, even those Swadian peasants, deep in their eyes, were determined to fight to the death to protect their homeland.

If they fail, they will completely lose their qualifications to survive.

And on Kant's retina, the prompt box of the system also appeared suddenly.

[Ding... Temporary task release]

[Temporary task: form a coalition]

[Reward: Arrow Rain Cover (500 Vicia Marksmen) × 3 waves]

[Introduction: In the dim sky, there is danger. Thankfully, an elite force arrived. You can choose to ally with it to get through this difficult time. 】

temporary assignment.

Kant quickly read the introduction, his face stiff.

"Form a coalition?" He was quite puzzled.

At the same time suspicious.

The system introduction said that he was ambiguous, but he also sensed the crisis.

Because this is a warning from the system.

"Danger breeds in the dim sky..." Kant said softly.

At the same time, he looked at the next sentence: "There is an elite army coming..."

Eyes narrowed slightly.

"Choose an alliance..."

These key words made Kant's heart beat faster.

He seemed to have thought of something.

At the same time, there was a commotion at the entrance of the street, as well as the sound of hurried horses' hooves, as if someone had returned.

Kant turned to look.

It's the missing desert robber.
