Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 271. Reminder of the Desert Bandit

Night falls, and the stars are shining brightly in the sky.

The scorching temperature during the day has dropped, and now the night after the temperature plummets is a good time to trek in the desert. As long as you set up your tent and set up a bonfire before the cold night falls, you can be safe.

That's why the caravans left in a hurry, and reporting the situation as soon as possible was one of the reasons.

But more reasons.

Or they feared that Rolf would go back on his word and lead a team to loot them.

Just a few days ago, there had been rumors that Rolf's caravan, which had offended Rolfe, was attacked by robbers after leaving the inn and died half a day's journey from the inn and the Stone Pass.

Everyone had their throats cut to death, and the businessman who had offended Rolf at the head had his head stuck on a spear.

Although no one has proved that it was Rolfe's hand.

But everyone understood that it was this guy like the bandit who secretly planned the attack.

Rolf can do it.

He is notorious in Calradia continent. Unlike Fatis, Bandak, James, Manid and other NPCs of the good camp, he is a complete villain and bastard, and there are not many things he can't do.

For him, the bottom line is a membrane that can be broken through at any time.

Just like a woman's.

But Rolfe was extremely loyal to Kant.

In other words, the NPCs of the evil camp are all foolish loyal and unconditional support for Kant.

They do not object to Kant's good deeds, but welcome Kant's evil deeds. They have no objection to this. Compared with Bandak and Fatis of the good camp, they are undoubtedly more suitable for the development of the initial expansion. After all, the accumulation of original funds, It's all bloody slaughter, and goodness can only be oppressed.

This is the truth of the world. When you don't get the corresponding power, you pay attention to the so-called goodness, and you can only be swallowed by other fierce competitors. Just like fish and shrimps in a lake, they devour each other and grow, plundering each other's resources.

Therefore, Kant placed great trust in Rolfe and gave him equally great rights.

As far as military power is concerned.

Except for Phatis, who commanded the castle of "Drehem", it was here that Rolf had the heaviest military power.

Kant believed that he could solve the problem for himself.

Rolfe is very good at this kind of dirty work with blood on his hands.

Not only could he suppress the impending situation facing the inn, but he could handle it perfectly with the scimitar in his hand and the spears of the cavalry behind him.

People are afraid.

Anyone who is facing the butcher's knife will maintain a compliment and learn to bend over to flatter.

Those businessmen who come from the Principality of Lions, who are scheming and have aristocratic backgrounds, will also learn how to sacrifice their humility to Rolf, and at the same time pay a lot of money, but it is just in their psychological bottom line. Big silver coins in exchange for the peace that came here.

Even if some people were unwilling, they attracted a gang of robbers and launched a merchant riot, but for Rolf, who was already vigilant, as long as he was careful, it would be an easy counter-ambush.

In the evening, Kant and Rolfe had an in-depth discussion about the future defense issues.

The emphasis is on any dangers that may be encountered in the future, as well as the reactions of those nobles.

Rolf needs to be vigilant.

Talk late into the night.

If it wasn't for Kant, who had to leave for the Sentinel Oasis tomorrow morning, it was estimated that the chat would continue.

After all, this central post in the sentry oasis and the stone pass, and even the mountain pass of the Sanwaya Mountains, is the only window for Kant to communicate with the outside world.

All kinds of problems and pressures came up.

Rolf's burden is heavy.

But that's why Kant chose to believe him.

From Calradia continent, Rolfe, who has been honed, is naturally outstanding.

The night is getting darker.

Bright stars filled the sky.

The merchants had all replenished their drinking water and food and left in the direction of the Stone Pass.

The discussion between Kant and Rolfe is over.

The accompanying Swadian knights also entered the room to rest.

After all, we will leave at dawn tomorrow,

It is estimated that there is still one day and one night's journey to return to the sentry oasis, which requires a long journey. In the harsh environment of the Nalen Desert, it is indeed hard work.

Therefore, the room was given to Kant to sleep by the station garrison.

Silent all night.

The chill descends on the desert.

But bonfires were lit inside and outside the station.

The warmth dispelled the chill, allowing the knights in the room and the knights in the tent outside to sleep soundly.

Even desert robbers patrolling the night.

He also wears a thick leather robe, made of desert antelope fur, which is very warm.

With the bright stars in the sky, the faint chill grew stronger.

Comes late at night.

The rotating night cavalry changed a few times.

The bright starlight and the bright moonlight illuminate the earth like layers of spun yarn.

Behind the surrounding sand dunes, where even the desert robbers had not reached, there was a team of cavalrymen, about 10 people, also wearing leather robes, all wrapped in it, only the nostrils and eyes were exposed, and they spewed out with their breathing. There was a white mist with hot air, and his eyes were gloomy.

Not much to say, they were still very uncomfortable with the cruel Naron Desert. They turned their crotch to gallop, and the exhausted horse stepped on the sand dunes, snoring, and ran towards the depths of the sand dunes.

………………

Silent all night.

The light of dawn pierces the darkness, and the fish at the end of the sky proves that the day is coming.

But the dawn of the Narun Desert was still gloomy and cold.

A slight breeze from the north brushed his cheeks, and he could still feel the deep chill.

The temperature difference between day and night in desert areas is huge.

High temperatures during the day can boil water, and low temperatures at night can freeze.

This is why the Naron Desert is called a forbidden area for human beings. No one wants to live here. Even Kant has some kind of helplessness about this desert in his heart.

If they could live on the fertile plains, no one would come to survive in such a harsh environment.

The well next to the station.

The clear and cool underground lake water has been brought up by wooden barrels.

Luckily, a fish living in an underground lake was even caught in the wooden barrel. The carp with a wide palm and a long forearm was sent directly to the kitchen and became part of the breakfast.

There are fish living in the underground lake connected by the well. Although there are not many, there are definitely a lot of them.

But now is not the time for that.

The clear and cool lake water has filled everyone's water bladder.

The fine fodder brought in from the sentry oasis also fed the Swadian horses of the knights.

Well prepared.

In the kitchen, breakfast is also cooked.

In front of Kant were porridge, toast, roasted dried meat, fried fish and fried eggs, as well as a small glass of ale for appetizers. Although it was simple, it was a sumptuous meal in the inn.

Others ate only porridge and bread, and roasted air-dried meat.

Everyone devoured it.

They have to wait until the sky is bright, and the temperature is not completely hot. If they wait for the scorching sun at noon and want to continue to trek in the desert, it will definitely be very difficult.

After breakfast, Kant asked Rolf a few words and then led the team away.

103 Swadian knights followed.

The hoof prints left by camel caravans transporting supplies in the past are roads.

Although after a sandstorm, there are still camel teams that have brought supplies to the post in recent days, which is clearly visible, but occasionally traces of horseshoes and ruts can be found.

Kant looked up and looked at the dunes on both sides.

There were some broken carriages being thrown there, and there were scattered corpses.

What's more, the heads were cut off, inserted on the spear, and raised obliquely, just like an ancient totem pole, deterring travelers who dare to set foot on this road.

This is indeed a threat.

From Rolf's unbridled killing.

Kant recognized that those carriages and corpses were all businessmen from the Principality of Lions.

He was killed a few days ago.

Probably after the dust storm.

It seems that these merchants are trying to take advantage of the chaos after the sandstorm to penetrate into the sentry oasis.

However, it was discovered by the desert robbers. Rolfe directly attacked the killer and slaughtered all the guys who dared to violate the rules between the dunes, and even hung their heads on the spears, deterring those who came later.

But obviously, this deterrence is not effective.

There were also sporadic corpses on both sides of the dunes one after another.

Either as a merchant or as an adventurer.

But without exception, they were discovered by patrolling desert robbers, cut off their heads, inserted spears or swords at the top of the dunes, and watched the road miserably, still deterring the latecomers.

The desert robbers have no problem with this.

It's just killing people.

When they were in the Sarand desert, they did nothing wrong.

Otherwise it wouldn't be called a desert robber!

Kant led the knights to gallop forward quickly, and the corpses between the dunes on both sides gradually decreased.

It can be seen that there are too few people who can resist the threat of death and enter the depths of the Naron Desert, especially so many corpses on both sides, which completely shows the cruelty of these cavalry.

Losing one's life for the sake of information is not a suitable deal at present.

Kant they are galloping.

Behind him, there were five desert robbers quickly riding their horses.

"Slow down." Kant raised his hand to signal.

The team's forward speed suddenly slowed down, allowing the team of desert robbers to follow up.

The leader of the desert robber was panting, obviously galloping all the way. When they saw Kant and the others stopped, they immediately rode their horses to Kant's side, and Speed ​​Voice reported: "Lord Lord, our patrol team found unusual footprints on the dunes, which may be A spy has gone deep into the desert, Lord Rolfe asked me to inform you to pay attention to safety!"

"Well, I see." Kant nodded, his eyes flat.

It is easy to spot unusual footprints in the desert.

After all, footprints in the sand, as long as there is no wind and no dust storms, are clearly visible for weeks.

Because of this, Rolf was able to lead the desert robbers and Salander riders to easily find out if there were any spies or merchants, defying the ban and entering the depths of the desert.

It's easy to catch.

Just follow the footprints to catch these little mice.

"How many?" Kant asked.
