Lord of the Oasis

Wengcheng is the crystallization of the wisdom of city defense.

Of course, there is no problem with Kant using it to build his own castle.

Only an indestructible castle can firmly occupy this place, such as the Weng City, fortifications with excellent defensive ideas, as many as can be built.

The city's defense is foolproof, which means that the castle is safe and still has control over the place.

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

After all, it has become a bastion of all kinds of cross-fire, 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 no way.

Bastion is a complete fortress, a standing fortification 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 firepower points, even the barracks are built next to the city wall, so that the role of the entire bastion can be maximized!

For now, building two urn cities is enough.

"pity."

Kant felt a little regretful in his heart.

In fact, his strength is still slightly inferior.

The construction of the castle consumes too much heritage, and it also requires a large number of soldiers to be stationed after construction.

Just like the current "Drehem" castle, although there are many archers, they can only focus on defending one gate. If the enemy attacks two gates at the same time, the cavalry must be dismounted to assist in defending the gate. .

The gate is the key.

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

No general would make such a stupid mistake.

In comparison, the iron and wooden objects such as city gates can be broken by low-level siege weapons, such as siege cones, rams, or simpler knives and axes, all of which can cause certain damage to the city gates. .

Therefore, the key to defending the city,

In fact, it is the defense of the city gate.

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

For example, the fortified King Kong gate, and the defensive infantry behind the gate.

Now considering the construction of an urn city and strengthening the defense capability of the city gate, it is obvious that the defense level of the entire castle has been improved in quality, not to mention the invincible iron cavalry under Kant's men 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 ordered to Fatis.

"Yes." Fatis answered.

"Be cautious."

Kant frowned slightly, and his heart was still a little throbbing.

Looking to the north, deep in the Naron Desert, he subconsciously touched his heart: "I always feel that something bad is brewing over there..." After a pause, he sighed: "Hope is an illusion. "

But even if it is an illusion, in Kant's heart he is still wary of the depths of the Naron desert.

The lost city of the Age of the Gods is over there.

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

Even in the underground caves of the ancient passages, there are relics of those sun gods, and even the demons, undead and gods who survived in the time of the ancient gods.

If there is nothing in the Golden Holy City, it is definitely impossible!

Not to mention the so-called saint.

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

Kant pondered.

It was also the god-born who appeared in the golden coffin.

However, because the groundwater was surging near the platform, the current was turbulent, and because he had no shipbuilding skills, he had not taken out the golden coffin, nor had he checked the god-born he killed.

Next to it is the succubus that was killed.

This shows that the war between the gods and the demons has already reached the stage of fierce fighting and fighting each other.

Otherwise, there is no place where there can be gods now, and the existence of demons is necessary.

"I need to bring more elite troops."

Kant made up his mind.

The royal knights and lion knights currently possessed are the best helpers to ensure his safety.

As for the ordinary top-level cavalry, he did not intend to bring too many. After all, too many people are not as convenient as a few elites, not to mention the unknown depths of the desert, where there may be the location of the Golden Holy City.

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

He looked slightly stunned.

Kant decided in his heart: "There are also mage apprentices!"

Although all the 7 mages stayed in the town of "Aaron", the current "Drehem" castle, with the recruitment in recent days, the number of apprentices has reached 5 again.

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 magic elements, you can also give Kant a warning or make suggestions.

Since decided.

"Okay, that's it."

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

"Yes." Fatis nodded.

Soon, all the supplies will be ready.

Each person carries 5 days' worth of fresh water and food, as well as necessary ignition items and flammable charcoal, plus leather jackets to keep out the cold and tents to block the scorching sun, and they are well prepared.

After all, they are all extraordinary knights, and the war horses under their crotch seem to be otherworldly and cannot be regarded as conventional war horses.

The load capacity becomes extremely high.

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

If it is placed in the Sangwaya Mountains, I am afraid that some people believe that the demonized creature can run fast, after all, with a knight in full armor moving at an instantaneous speed, an ordinary warhorse will definitely not be able to do it.

For example, the frantic charge of the normal Swadian knight's peak.

It is actually a very difficult choice to keep up with the normal marching speed of the Royal Knights.

After noon, the scorching sun subsided slightly.

The time is about 14:00 pm.

"Lord Kant, please take care of your health and safety."

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 lord needs it, they are willing to come forward and join the mission to go deep into the unknown area of ​​the desert, with the responsibility of protecting the lord of Kant, even if they are killed in battle!

But Kant doesn't need too many people.

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

After crossing the saline-alkali land, it is the unfamiliar central area of ​​the Nalen Desert. If you continue inward, it is the Devil's Zone that the high-level jackals of the Greymane Kingdom call it, which may be the cause of the sandstorm a month ago.

That's where Kant intends to go and explore.

"No problem."

Kant nodded.

With his legs lightly knocking on the horse's belly, he supported the King's Sword at his waist and said solemnly, "Let's go!"

The royal knights and lion knights behind him immediately followed.

At the same time, the 5 apprentices, also riding on 5 sturdy pack horses, marched at a constant speed beside Kant, heading towards the depths of the desert, and soon the entire team left the range of the sentry oasis.

With the slightly slower temperature, the marching process is not a torment.

All the way safe and sound.

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

They are all dirty and low-level gnolls, with skinny appearances, which have been dried into jerky by the sun.

Kant's eyes swept over.

There was no sign of pity.

If he hadn't plundered these gnolls, and directly risked destroying their camps and wells, or even failed to defend against their cousins, those advanced gnolls, then they should be the ones who turned into jerky now.

No, it should be said that it will turn into a pile of useless, invisible, gnoll excrement!

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

The weak eat the strong!

This is the Naron Desert, which requires more cruel jungle laws.

The resources in the desert are impossible to maintain two forces, and even maintaining one force is very difficult. It is impossible for the low-level jackals and Kant's castle to coexist peacefully!

There is an inherent conflict between the two sides.

Right to live!

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

Just like Kant who has already won the victory, gained control of the Naron Desert, and has developed Kant, he has obtained the ultimate right to survive, and then he can become a higher-level victor.

This is the law of the jungle.

Gnolls are weak, so they can only be eaten by Kant.

Only by eating these meats can Kant gain a stronger physique and eat the meat of other weak people.

Layer by layer connection.

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

But so what?

The strong never care about the weak bark!

All the way to the large camp where the low-level gnolls were once, from a distance, a dozen or so low-level gnolls were running away, and it seemed that they had already discovered them.

But Kant did not order an attack.

Today, he no longer cares about these low-level gnolls who have been scattered.

In other words, these former opponents have lost the ability to threaten him, and they are not even stepping stones!

"Lord Lord."

Behind him, the mage apprentices pointed to the front and said, "It was there that we sensed the convergence of a little water element."

They were pointing in the direction of the big camp.

A huge bunker appeared there, seemingly dug by these lesser gnolls.

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

"Let's go take a look."

Kant tapped the horse's belly.

Lead the team in the past, after all, this is the place where he once fought bloody battles.

The knights behind them immediately followed.

Soon after arriving at the former large camp, the sandstorm had swept away all the darkness left by the fire, except for a messy puddle, as well as the cluttered footsteps and the leftover bones.

There are desert antelopes, and there are gnolls.

It looked terrible.

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

The bottom of the four-to-five-meter-deep puddle was sprinkled with various stones, but the bottom was still blocked by a large amount of sand. Only water emerged from the ground, which was a puddle half a meter small and extremely turbid.

If Kant wanted to drink it, he had to filter it.

This is the well that he directly destroyed.

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

The mage apprentices closed their eyes slightly, and said to Kant after sensing: "It seems that there is an underground river. We sensed a very strong water element. Although we are separated by the sand layer, we can still perceive that the water is very abundant, so we can seep upward. This fresh water comes out, forming this little puddle."
