Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 159. The tragic death toll

But looking at Fatis, the smile on Kant's face subsided.

Breathing calmly in his heart, since he has already known the happy things first, it is time to know the unhappy reports. Kant asked calmly: "How about the casualties of my soldiers in this battle."

"It's a bit tragic."

Fatis stood up, bent over and saluted, his face was very solemn.

"Say." Kant narrowed his eyes.

Hearing Fatis' words, Manid and Jocelyn also fell silent.

This is indeed a topic to be taken seriously.

Taking a deep breath, Fatis said solemnly: "In terms of the city wall, 13 of the 20 Reston Rangers were killed in action, 37 of the 100 Vician archers were killed in action, and 40 of the 50 Swadian crossbowmen were killed in action."

As the commander of the city wall, Kant has been psychologically prepared.

The report can be heard now.

His face still began to look ugly, and the casualties were indeed beyond his expectations.

With a gloomy face, Kant said, "Continue."

"Yes." Fatis nodded.

After organizing the language a little, he continued to report in Shen Shenghui: "50 Swadian infantrymen were killed in action, 37 people, 500 Swadian militiamen...killed in battle..." Speaking of this, his tone paused, as if hesitant.

"Go on." Kant frowned and urged.

Fatis finally sighed and said solemnly: "500 Swadian militiamen died in action... 312 people."

"What?" Manid exclaimed.

As the commander in charge of the top floor of the attic, he took the 500 militiamen to fight back against the gnolls.

At that time, when the 500 Swadian militiamen were stationed in the attic of the city wall, the five hundred-man formation was still quite complete, but after they were dispatched to support the attic of the city wall and the city gate, the death rate was more than half, almost This huge number of militia troops were all crippled, if the battle lasted longer, it is estimated that the entire army would be wiped out!

Kant was silent, Jocelyn was silent, and Manid and Fatis were equally silent.

The battle was too brutal.

The troops in charge of defending the city had more than half of them killed.

At that time, Kant didn't feel it when he left the city wall and city gate. Now that he heard the report, although it was just a number, not the corpse, his heart was still extremely heavy, after all, this was his soldier.

Breathing slowly, Kant relaxed his emotions and continued to ask, "Where's the cavalry?"

"Cavalry casualties are small."

Fatis spoke, and his tone was finally no longer solemn: "10 knights, 5 Mamluks, 87 heavy cavalry, 40 Salander riders, 40 elite desert robbers, 70 desert robbers, no one was killed, only a few dozen People who are slightly injured and do not affect the following battle are skin injuries that do not require treatment."

"Very good." Kant then exhaled the sullen breath in his chest.

This is his current real trump card.

The 5th-level cavalry trained before had no casualties, and the 4th-level cavalry was equally complete, which was enough.

However, unexpectedly, the 40 elite desert robbers, as well as the 50 desert robbers that Kant won by lottery and the 20 desert robbers recruited by Xinzhou, were also killed in battle, which made him feel more depressed due to the large number of casualties. some surprises.

Although desert robbers are also around level 3 cavalry.

But after all, it is also a cavalry.

These light cavalry formed a group, accompanied by the heavy cavalry in the rear coordinated charge, the crushing effect was still strong, and when dealing with emergencies, they could rush to it as soon as possible, and the heavy cavalry was much more flexible.

Look at the three people across the long table.

Kant also spoke, nodded slightly, and said calmly: "At least, we won the victory."

"Yes." The three nodded in response.

With a force of around 800, against 3,000 gnoll warriors with at least level 5 infantry level, these tragic losses are justified. After all, in terms of melee combat, these gnoll warriors are not those who are malnourished, weak and lowly. What the gnolls can compare to is the slaughtering machines on the battlefield.

All of them are 2.3 meters tall and weigh 300 pounds. Because they are well nourished, they are full of muscles.

Coupled with well-made chain mail, a two-handed battle axe made of all-iron.

This is why, as a 4th-level infantryman, and the Swadian infantrymen, who are known for their defensive power in the game, cannot withstand the crazy attacks of those gnolls, after all, the power of slashing with two-handed weapons can be extremely powerful.

Similar to the troops of the Kingdom of Vicia, the most favorite moonblade axe is equipped.

However, the attack power and fighting experience of these gnoll warriors are comparable to those of the 6th-level soldiers belonging to Wei. They are known as the strongest and most invincible foot soldiers in the entire Calradia continent, the Nord royal guards.

So far, Kant summed up in his heart.

In this battle, based on the real situation, he won by luck.

If it wasn't for the fact that he had destroyed the Gnoll Expeditionary Force in advance, the pre-supplied supplies in the Naron Desert would have already been conquered and the Sentinel Oasis would have already been conquered.

Most importantly, he wiped out the low-level gnoll tribe.

destroyed that well.

Let this expedition not only lose all supplies, but also weak from hunger and thirst. When they attacked the city, they did not rush ahead. They were used as cannon fodder for death, and they were treated as low-level gnolls with footing corpses.

If all this exists.

The situation of the battle can be imagined by Kant.

The Gnoll Expeditionary Force with sufficient supplies formed a spirited formation, just like now, 3,000 people were arranged in 5 square formations.

And just ahead.

On the other hand, it was a queue of chaotic low-level gnolls, centered on 3,000 low-level gnolls from the tribe, as well as 2,000 low-level gnolls from other areas of the desert, more than 5,000 people, and the howling began to move towards " The two gates of the Drehem fortress attacked, and more and more corpses fell.

And those high-level gnolls raised their corpses as shields and approached.

Then he started to pile the corpses on the city wall, and quickly built up the slopes, enough for the expedition behind them to rush up the 5-meter-high city wall and enter the human fortress to start massacres.

Eventually the crossbowmen of the city walls will be wiped out.

The stubbornly resisting infantry and cavalry all retreated into the Consulate Hall.

But by then, it was already too hard to support.

The result of the best luck is that Kant can only let the existing elite troops use their own lives to kill a bloody path, and finally escape the fallen "Drehem" fortress with a few people, full of unwillingness. Looking at the sentry oasis where black smoke rises, he can only choose to return to the Principality of Lions, to remain anonymous, and perhaps have the opportunity to borrow the temporary tasks of the system to make a comeback.

If you are unlucky, you will be chopped into meat sauce by the high-level gnolls who rushed up on the spot.

Kant was in awe.

This is indeed a fluke, luckily he disrupted all the previous arrangements of the Greymane Kingdom.

Whether intentional or not.

In the end, it was Kant who won this victory.

Sentinel Oasis.

Southern Narun Desert.

As the battle was completely brought into control by Kant.

"Continue cleaning the battlefield in the afternoon."

Kant calmed the ups and downs in his heart, looked at Fatis and Manid and said, "Report to me after all the statistics."

"Understood." The two nodded.

Lunch ends quickly.

There is still a lot of chores waiting for them in the sentry oasis.

Including the treatment of wounded soldiers and the burial of dead soldiers, both of them need to be present in person to arrange.

Kant, on the other hand, had more important things to deal with.

Post-war system settlement.

As Manid complimented before, calling it an epic victory, for Kant, it is true, because the system has given the best judgment to prove the glorious achievement of winning this battle.

"I'm done eating."

Wiping the corners of his mouth, Kant put down his knife and fork.

After chatting a few more words with the three of them, he pushed away the chair, got up and left, returning to his room.

Now it's time for him to take care of things.

A dialog box pops up on the retina.

【ding...system prompt】

[You defeat a powerful enemy with a weak force, which is a perfect total victory. 】

【This is an epic victory】

[You have gained 10 points of honor and 5,000 points of prestige]

Kant's breathing was a little short.

But he is definitely not simply because of this dialog.

Just below, another dialog box pops up.

【ding...system prompt】

[The result of this battle was sent back to Calradia, causing a storm of discussion. 】

[This is a sub-legendary evaluation]

[You have gained 10 points of honor and 5,000 points of prestige]

Look at the dialog on the retina.

With Kant's current good psychological control ability, he felt a little dry mouth.

This is no ordinary reward.

two assessments.

[Epic Victory] and [Legendary Evaluation]

The direct benefit is 20 points of honor and 10,000 reputation!

"very good."

Kant sat on a chair in his room with a smile on his lips.

This is the real postwar benefit.

Whatever can be handled today, choose to handle it today, Kant's creed.

The data stream in his eyes began to flicker, and his mind had communicated with the system, so he said solemnly: "System, open the lottery mall immediately, and directly perform 10 consecutive draws!"

Kant's tone was affirmative.

But the system still pops up a dialog box to ask as usual.

【ding...system prompt】

[10 consecutive draws will be rewarded with an additional draw]

[Yes/No now? 】

"Yes." Kant did not hesitate.

The system responds.

On the retina in front of you, the dialog box refreshes.

The colorful treasure chest appeared there, and it opened and closed faintly, releasing a little hidden colorful light, with that kind of wonderful light that penetrated the heart, as if to absorb all eyes.

It is exactly what Kant needs.

In other words, the system package that appears after this treasure box is opened!
