Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 438. Strange troops in ambush

The return journey along the road was very smooth. A group of troops marched forward, escorting carriages full of belongings, and did not encounter any obstacles at all, not even any armed team.

Even those civilians, when they saw so many troops passing by, threw down their sickles and pitchforks in fear.

As for the fortresses of some military symbols along the road, it is even more empty.

No one dared to stand in the way of Kant's return journey, especially when he was warned by the nobles behind him. All of them were very well-behaved, and they all understood that the East County leader, which had changed, could have an accident at any time.

If they are not obedient now, it is estimated that the nobles behind them will kill them.

Baron Kant is now the person who can't be offended the most!

It took nearly 5 days.

The troops are finally about to reach Wochze, a Nord village at the mouth of the river.

The sky is approaching evening, and according to the daily marching speed, it is estimated that there will be about 6 hours to return to the village. If the cavalry alone is the first to return, it will take less than 2 hours to return.

These carriages full of belongings were still a serious drag on the march.

"Stop moving forward."

Kant rode ahead.

Looking up at the sun that had already set in the western mountains, he still raised his hand and said, "Let's build a temporary camp here, rest tonight, come out early tomorrow morning, and try to return to the village at noon."

"Yes!" The messenger immediately stepped back and conveyed the order to everyone.

The troops stopped advancing.

It's approaching evening.

Continue on the march, although you will be able to return to the village late at night.

But the troops who have traveled all day long really need a good rest.

As the order was issued, the troops quickly moved into action, and 50 carriages began to encircle a square, leaving the carriages full of belongings on the outside, with wooden boards, like a human-high wall.

Then inside the carriage is a temporary breeding ground for the war horses.

The outermost part is the living tent.

There's a reason for this.

As long as there is any situation, the soldiers sleeping in the tents outside can quickly withdraw into the carriage, whether it is to stay in place with the help of the fortifications formed by the carriage, or to mount a horse to break through.

And in the process of breaking through, dropping those belongings can also distract the enemy and prevent them from working too hard.

No amount of possessions is of any use.

Only by surviving can we win the final victory.

Even if it was close to his own Hekou village, Kant was unwilling to relax his mind. Even if he knew that the nobles in the East Command were trembling with fear, he was also wary of this.

He can now carry an extremely large amount of property.

Not to mention.

There are also salt mines in the Naron desert.

I don't know how many people want him to die. I don't know how many people want to occupy his property, assets and territory. Kant understands this very well, so he doesn't dare to let his guard down.

Riding forward, Kant inspected the temporary camp that was gradually taking shape.

The tent was erected neatly.

The war horses were also received in the square formed by the carriage.

However, there are still Rhodok snipers and Ravenston Rangers. As the guard troops, they stand on the carriage and watch the surrounding situation vigilantly. On the outside of the carriage, at a distance of about 50 meters from the tent, there is also Rhodos. Sergeant Ke was on guard, keeping a firm grip on several points of the carriage's position.

Just outside, the desert robbers who were completely dispersed into three-man squads were also running back and forth, scouting the surrounding situation in batches, and doing a good job in defense work.

"It's pretty good."

Kant also nodded approvingly as he toured.

Although Bestur was a Khudge, he was the son of the tribal leader after all, otherwise he would not have been personally mediated by the Khan when he took revenge, and he also dared to risk offending the Khan to kill the enemy.

Of course, this also led to his eventual escape from the Kujit Khanate and his exile on the Big 6.

Finally came here and became Kant's general.

Also brings his military experience.

For example, the current camp car formation used to be the formation that the Kugits are best at.

They pulled carriages loaded with all kinds of supplies, rode war horses and swept across Calradia like a gust of wind, and finally founded the Kugit Khanate.

The Kugits are good at plain field warfare and guerrilla warfare, and in fact defensive operations are equally good.

Because all of them can bend a bow and shoot an arrow.

Great defensive advantage!

Now, although this car formation is not composed of Kujit people, but relying on the rock-like Rhodoks, the Ravenston people who are good at shooting in a row, and the powerful heavy horseback Muluk are basically equivalent to safety.

Kant looked around and found nothing missing.

Just got back to my tent.

Bestur stepped in quickly, and the voice report reported: "Lord Kant, the desert robbers who were released to investigate reported that there may be a situation in our south. Unfamiliar troops are gathering and ambushing."

"Report carefully." Kant narrowed his eyes, which was beyond his expectations.

"Yes."

Bestur nodded.

After thinking for a while, I quickly reported: "Just to the east, the desert robbers we released to investigate, there are about 3ooo troops ambushing in a forest, and there are farms around, it seems that they have also been attacked by that group of strangers. The troops are occupied, and if it is predicted according to the worse results, maybe the number of troops can reach 5ooo+.”

"Interesting." Kant had a playful smile on the corner of his mouth: "I thought no one would dare to provoke me any more."

"Yes."

Bestur nodded: "But we still don't know what the other party's intentions are."

After a pause, he said solemnly: "But since we are so close, only half an hour away, then it must not be a good thing. It is estimated that it came with hostility."

"Obviously, it came with hostility." Kant snorted coldly.

"Then, please give an order."

Bestur said solemnly: "My troops and I are ready, we can give up building camps at any time, switch to combat mode, and kill all those guys who don't know what to do!"

"It's okay, don't worry."

Kant shook his head.

After thinking for a while, he analyzed: "I don't have too much involvement with those nobles, maybe the guys from the Dark Red Sect want to break the boat, in order to restore their former rights, they want to take advantage of our proximity to the village and relax our vigilance. Raid, smash and kill all our main force, and restore the decline of the dark red sect in the East County Territory."

"Perhaps there is a possibility." Bestur nodded: "The Dark Red Sect must be intertwined in the East County Territory. Although I have not really studied this world, in short, it is similar to Calradia's politics."

"But I can't say for sure."

Kant shrugged: "Those guys from the Dark Red Sect should be scared to death by killing them."

Touching his chin, he still instructed: "Continue to keep watch, don't let them find out that we have found them, let the desert robbers be smarter, and let me know when they gather."

"Yes." Bestur nodded, saluted, left the tent, and went down to make arrangements.
