Lord of the Oasis

Baron Dylan was dead in his heart.

He felt that he was facing despair that he had never had before, a despair that came from the bottom of his heart, could not be fought, let alone resisted, a despair that could devour all his hopes!

50 knights with extraordinary powers.

18 mages who master elemental arcana.

This is frightening, enough to shake the power of the country!

At this time, the two great knights from the Eastern County, who had been disarmed and were detained like prisoners, all sat on the chairs in the corner with their faces in despair, and watched stunned as cavalry came in one after another and reported the results of the battle. , with a face ashen as he listened to the collapse of his mercenary group and fled.

This mercenary group of thousands of people, although nominally recruited by Baron Dylan, is actually inextricably linked with the East County Territory, and the two of them are the real high-level commanders.

Now, the mercenary group collapsed.

It can be represented that the East County Leader attempted to directly declare bankruptcy with the help of Baron Dylan's strategy of entering the Naron Desert.

The two of them looked at each other subconsciously.

Both saw the fear and anxiety in each other's eyes.

And bitterness.

If they knew that the lord Kant of the Naron Desert was so terrifying, how could they attack so recklessly, and it would not be so simple to have a deadlock with this lord.

Now, there has been a deadlock, and the relationship has become as rigid as a confrontation.

It is impossible for both sides to shake hands and make peace.

Although there are no permanent friends, there are permanent enemies.

Especially when oneself is invaded and violated, the hatred of this enemy is even greater.

At least these two great knights do not think that in the current situation, Kant has absolute high-end force, and the conventional troops with a high level of elites will remain friendly with them when they already have an advantage.

The strong and the weak cannot be friends, this is the difference between class and level!

Country to country, power to power is the same!

Look at Baron Dylan next to you,

The lord of the Stone Pass has given up his former restraint and arrogance, and he knows that he has chosen to surrender from the appearance of being completely respectful and obedient.

He abandoned the East County Leader and turned to Kant instead.

Or coerced into doing so.

The Stone Pass used to be a barren mountain pass. Not only did it not have much reclamation value, but it was also the most backward territory under the direct threat of the demonized creatures of the Sanwaya Mountains and the gnolls in the Nalen Desert.

Even nobles or knights with a little knowledge would not choose this place.

But now it's different.

The Stone Pass is the only way to get in and out of the Narun Desert.

If you want to carry out the highly profitable salt trade, then the Stone Pass is an unavoidable link, even if it is bypassed, it is actually bypassed on the mountain path around the Stone Pass.

Usually you can ignore it, but as long as you are serious and ordinary, you can't get around it at all!

That's why the East County Leader will win over Baron Dylan.

Because only by controlling the Stone Pass, can you control the Naron Desert and the Sentinel Oasis, and control the salt trade, and even use this pass to coerce Kant into captivity.

The idea is very good, the plan is also very comprehensive, if it is successful, it must be perfect.

Unfortunately it didn't work.

In front of the absolute force possessed by Kant, all this is like a joke!

Everyone has been caught.

Whether it's Baron Dylan or his vassal knights.

Or the two great knights from Eastern County, as well as a large number of mercenaries.

All chose to surrender.

They have no belief in dying.

Even more unwilling to die in such humiliation in the barren desert.

Surrender is the only option.

The elite desert robbers and Salander riders brought back all the mercenaries who had fled away, but there were still those who tried to resist and escape and were turned into dead corpses by machetes and fell on the road.

Just like a road sign, it looks extremely miserable.

The seriously wounded received no medical treatment.

The elite desert robbers have no plans to heal them either.

He raised the spear in his hand, aimed it at his throat or chest, and stabbed it deeply. With blood gushing out, his body twitched to end this sad and tragic life.

Mercenaries deserve no sympathy, let alone invaders trying to invade Sentinel Oasis.

Stacks of weapons and armor were thrown around the tent.

A lot of materials have been collected.

And these mercenaries who just put on linen burqas, half-squatting and half-kneeling on the ground, sluggishly watched the surrounding desert robbers gallop past, holding machetes and spears in their hands, the patrol deterrent has become a captured them.

The number of survivors was counted, and there were 724 people.

Less than a third were killed.

This is still in the process of fleeing, there are factors of slashing and killing each other and being seriously injured.

In fact, when nearly 100 people were killed, the formation of these mercenaries began to collapse. As the number of casualties increased, even if there was no follow-up pursuit, they would flee because of the herd effect.

Rolf guarded them and shook his head sarcastically at the captives.

A bunch of gutless cowards.

Fatis returned to the inn hall and finally reported the results to Kant: "Sir, the battle is over."

"Um."

Kant nodded calmly.

The outcome of this battle was what he had expected.

However, he still looked up at Fatis and asked, "How about our casualties?"

"Only dozens of people were slightly injured." Fatis replied: "No one was killed."

"Very good." Kant was satisfied.

Next to him, Baron Dylan and the 30 knights who also surrendered, as well as the two great knights, suddenly looked up at Fatis and Kant with disbelief on their faces.

A battle with zero casualties, this result made them simply unacceptable!

But that's what happened.

The corners of Fatis' mouth were slightly raised, with a bit of disdain: "Our enemy is weaker than those gnolls."

Baron Dylan bowed his head.

Those knights and great knights also smiled bitterly.

This is the truth.

They are now defeated, indeed the same as the gnolls.

But Kant understands that Fatis is talking about the high-level gnolls of the Greymane Kingdom, who can break out bloody sieges even when the oil is exhausted. How could these people only recognize money and have no professional ethics at all. Can mercenaries compare?

What Fatis said is absolutely correct, these mercenaries are really weaker than those gnolls!

It just has a certain effect.

Kant turned his head.

Baron Dylan, who was next to him, seemed to have noticed something, and quickly lowered his head and said respectfully, "Lord Kant, do you have any orders? I completely obey your orders." arrogant.

This is what Kant wants, because he wants to go further.

E.g…

Take control of Stone Pass!

Kant spoke with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Baron Dylan, I think it's been a long time since you came to my territory recently. Are you considering returning?"

"Full respect for what you mean." Baron Dylan stood up, bowed his head.

Just clasped hands.

He understood that Kant meant to make him a puppet.

"Well."

Kant was very satisfied with his attitude: "Just go back today."

"Yes," Baron Dylan replied.

But there was a bit of bitterness in his tone.

Originally when he came to the sentry oasis, he wanted Kant to become a puppet, or to replace it, but he did not expect that the final result would turn out to be himself a puppet, or the puppet of Kant who had always looked down upon and despised all the time!

This change made him tremble in his heart, but he didn't dare to express a resentment in his heart.

Dare not to speak out.

But even if he was angry, Kant would not give him this chance.

The weak need to understand why they are weak. Since they are defeated, they can be puppets with peace of mind.

"There may be danger on the way back."

Kant turned his head, looked at the lion knights next to him, and arranged: "I will send 10 great knights to escort Baron Dylan back, and to ensure safety, I will also send 120 cavalry and 500 infantry over."

"You are... so considerate." Baron Dylan raised his head, his eyes were stunned and desperate, but he couldn't say anything. In the end, he could only bow his head sullenly. The prime of life in his 40s was as decadent as an old man in his 60s. .

This is the garrison.

Kant's direct reach over Stone Pass.

10 great knights, 120 cavalry, 500 infantry, it is estimated that it is possible to destroy the Stone Pass, and the mere control of the place is impossible for Baron Dylan, who has lost his high-end combat power and has only himself. .

As for the so-called territorial armed forces, with those militias and pikemen?

Funny.

Even the mercenary group that can hold the name of a few elites has been defeated so miserably and completely. The so-called territorial armed forces, a group of peasants and militiamen, and a few free people are armed with cannon fodder!

Kant did not explain it to Baron Dylan, and there is no need to explain it now.

Stand up and scan the window.

The troops regrouped and were awaiting his next order.

Kant turned his head and arranged for Fatis: "That's it, you go to the Stone Pass temporarily, escort Baron Dylan, and if you can, help the Stone Pass to deal with some minor problems, after all, it's a little messy now, and there may not be any thieves group. It can appear near the pass and needs to be strictly defended.”

"Yes." Fatis nodded, using his ability to go to the Stone Pass to really sit in town, without the slightest problem.

Baron Dylan also bowed and said, "I respect your arrangement."

"So be it."

Kant nodded, stood up and said: "Fatis, take the troops now and go back with our Baron Dylan. Remember, you must ensure the safety of Baron Dylan and the Stone Pass."

"Yes!" Fatis glanced at Baron Dylan next to him. Although his face was calm, his eyes were decisive.

If something goes wrong, he won't stay.

"Okay." Baron Dylan bowed again respectfully.

The troops were soon ready to go.

10 Sarion lion knights, 100 Swadian knights, and 500 Swadian infantrymen who have been secretly upgraded from light infantry by Kant to a higher level, which belongs to the 4th class!

Better weapons, better armor, better armor, and more elite combat capabilities.

These 611 people had no problem holding the Stone Pass.

What's more, the 10 great knights with extraordinary power alone are not something that ordinary troops can compete with!

This is Kant's first step in attacking the Principality of Lions.
