Lord of the Oasis

After Kant returned to Dehreim, he asked Bandak to come to see him without delay.

It wasn't until the evening of that day that the two finally met.

Bandak walked into the hall, saluted Kant and asked: "Lord Kant, welcome back to Dehreim."

"I saw the letter you sent me and returned immediately. What's wrong? Did something happen recently?" Kant nodded, and after gesturing for Bandak to sit down, he asked.

Bandak frowned immediately when he heard Kant's question, and a bitter look appeared on his rough face.

"The workers we sent to collect salt from the saline-alkali fields were attacked. From the first incident to now, seven or eight workers have died." Bandak said in a serious tone.

With an attack of this scale occurring in the country, panic has spread throughout Dehreim.

He was also very busy because of this matter.

"Huh?" Kant's heart was hit hard. As a new force that is constantly expanding, Dehrem was actually detonated in the country: "Have you found any results in your investigation? Is it a personal force, or is it a personal force? ..."

Bandak replied: "Based on the cause of death of the workers found, this should be the work of the undead lurking in the border desert area."

When Kant heard this, his expression became heavier than before.

"you sure?"

In Kant's impression, although the undead have relatively high attack power. But they themselves don't have much self-awareness.

Now he suddenly chooses to attack Dehreim.

This does make one suspicious.

"Well, based on my experience in fighting the undead, the injuries on the workers are indeed caused by the undead's attack path. The medical soldier's test results are also the same as what I thought." Bandak replied.

In fact, he has firmly determined that this attack was planned by the undead tribe.

"When did the last attack occur?" Kant thought for a moment and asked.

"Early this morning," Bandak said.

"Um.

Then tonight you take a group of soldiers to the sand dunes near the salt flats to ambush. Find out who is causing the trouble. "Kant ordered.

"Take the order." Bandak replied, he had wanted to do this before. It's just that Kant hasn't returned to the main city yet, and the mobilization of the army requires the consent of the lord.

"You go and select people from the elite troops. You have seen undead soldiers on the battlefield before. The risk factor of this operation is quite high." Kant explained.

Bandak nodded, said goodbye and left.

The sky outside the house was slightly gloomy, with dark clouds covering the sun completely.

A neatly dressed army of thirty people set off from the main city and walked to the outskirts where the salt-alkali land was located.

Bandak had been here many times before, so he was familiar with the route.

When they almost arrived at their destination, Bandak ordered the entire team to immediately find cover and ambush.

While the soldiers in armor were hiding in the sand dunes, he and a few soldiers dressed as workers continued to move forward calmly.

It is summer now, and a layer of white salt frost has formed on the bark of the salt trees in the saline-alkali land.

Bandak put on the equipment of a salt miner, took out a knife, scraped off the salt from the tree layer by layer, and stored it in a small bucket.

Others also imitated Bandak's movements and were busy in the salt-alkali land.

Occasionally talk quietly to each other.

Until the moon climbed high into the night sky, there was no strange phenomenon around.

One of his subordinates walked up to Bandak inadvertently and said, "Commander, have those guys withdrawn? They haven't appeared for so long."

"It's still early, don't slack off. Go to work quickly." Bandak glanced around and whispered.

The soldier walked to other trees without saying a word and continued to collect salt.

"I don't know how long I will have to squat in this wilderness. I was called out of the army today without having dinner." A soldier complained to the people around him.

"It seems that you are just used to being lazy and have never left the main city. Fighting outside is much harder than this." The soldier who heard this said grumbled in response.

"Anyway, I am the shadow of the undead now, so collecting salt will use up all my strength."

The relationship between the two seems to be quite close, and they chatted with each other.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you are hungry, go pick a few dates from the Elaeagnus tree over there and eat them. I heard that many workers usually eat this. It can fill your stomach temporarily."

The soldier who spoke first was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you Lord!!"

"You'd better thank me." Another soldier said helplessly.

But the other party didn't listen to what he said, so he went to the Elaeagnus grove in the west to pick dates.

After a while, the soldiers who stayed at work turned around and looked at the woods to the west. I wondered in my heart: "How much does this guy want to pick? Why isn't he coming back?"

Keeping it in mind, I often glanced in that direction.

After a while, he saw a familiar figure running out of the jujube forest.

"Oh my god!!!" A scream startled everyone.

Bandak ran quickly towards the place where the sound came from.

"What's wrong?" Bandak asked.

The soldier pointed his finger to the west and said with a slightly pale face, "That must be the undead."

Bandak also looked over there.

I saw groups of undead chasing a soldier disguised as a worker in the desert.

"The target has appeared! Prepare to fight!" Bandak commanded.

The sound spread outside the salt-alkali land, and the Swadian soldiers hiding behind the sand dunes also adjusted their equipment.

All the muscles in his body were tense and in a fighting state.

Waiting for the undead to enter their field of vision, they immediately attack them in groups and kill them.

Bandak picked up the machete and mounted the horse.

He galloped towards the group of undead and attracted their attention.

There are not many undead, and their physiques are almost the same as those of ordinary undead warriors. It doesn't look like it's equipped with any weapons. But this time is the most active time of the day for them.

The astonishing jumping and biting abilities alone are enough to defeat human troops.

There are still three hours until dawn. The most important thing is to maintain your physical strength during these three hours and not let this group of undead escape easily.

"Mount the horse!!" Bandak stretched out his hand to rescue and said to the soldiers who were running desperately.

The soldier looked at him fearfully, held Bandak's right hand tightly, and jumped onto the horse.

"Hold tight!!"

The undead behind them were still chasing them.

Bandakti increased his speed and fled towards the desert area.

The soldiers who had been ambushing in the salt-alkali land had taken off their workers' coats, revealing their shining armor. Carrying the newly modified shield, he silently walked outside the salt-alkali land and met up with his companions hiding behind the dunes.
