Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 192: A Week’s Change

Time passed quickly.

A week’s time had passed.

It was this week’s Wednesday.

At the entrance to the Senwaya Range, James and Manid were riding their horses in the front. Behind them were seven Ravenstern rangers, 13 Swadian sergeants, and 10 Swadian snipers. Accompanying them were 30 camels loaded with all kinds of supplies.

Behind the camels, there were 50 fully armed Swadian knights who were holding huge awl spears and waiting for orders.

All of them were level 5 elite troops that sent from Oasis Lookout this time.

Their combat strength was guaranteed.

After returning to Oasis Lookout, Manid had already set up “Aaron” Village. The dangers and difficulties that Kant encountered were clearly explained to Firentis and James.

In order to ensure the safety of Lord Kant and the stability of Aaron, James immediately accepted the order.

Once again, Manid led the way. With the troop class that Kant had requested, they immediately set off. Moreover, they also brought an additional 50 Swadian knights troop, allowing these high-level troop class that could charge on horseback and fight shoulder to shoulder to supplement their combat strength. They had to ensure that Lord Kant’s safety was guaranteed.

Their own lives could be ignored.

However, to them, Lord Kant was their supreme existence in this world!

They travelled arduously.

It took them three days to arrive at the mountain pass of the Senwaya Range from the Oasis Lookout. It had to be said that these single humped camels played an absolute role. Although its short-distance acceleration was not as fast as the Swadian warhorse of the Swadian knight, the advantages of these camels were clearly shown through this long distance, day and night journey.

The Swadian warhorses were already very tired from being tortured by the desert.

However, the single-humped camels were still relatively okay.

If the Oasis Lookout was further away from the Senwaya Range, the warhorses of the Swadian knight would probably be out of breath. It might even became dehydrated or sick due to the harsh environment.

The desert was not an environment that the heavy cavalry was good at.

Even if the system enhanced the abilities of the heavy cavalries, they would still not be able to adapt to the long journey in the desert.

This was also the awkward weakness of Kant’s troops.

In a long-distance assault and strategic attack, they could only rely on the desert bandits, elite desert bandits, and Sarrandian horseman.

As for the fully armored Swadian knight, Swadian heavy cavalry and Mamluke, they could only move around the fortress.

In other words, they could only carry out strategic defense or tactical attacks. As for long-distance raids and strategic attacks, it was impossible. Logistics and physical requirements alone were already a huge challenge to them.

Kant had once thought.

If only the Nahrin Desert where he was based had a Nile River similar to the desert of North America in Earth, as well as the Euphrates River and Tigris River in the Middle East’s desert region. Such a large river that crossed through the desert would be great. With the system, he would definitely be able to quickly grow into an overlord-level character.

The river could be used as a transportation route, allowing these heavy cavalries to have the ability to attack strategically.

It was not like now.

The powerful heavy cavalries could only move around the Oasis Lookout.

This was also what Firentis was worried about.

They had already defeated the high-level Jackalan of the Kingdom of Grey Mane. As far as they concerned, there would not encounter such a large-scale enemy again in a short term. This made Firentis anxious inwardly, he was eager to make a contribution and fight for Lord Kant’s salvation in this world.

But he needed to wait, and Kant also needed to wait.

They still needed to develop.

Although their current strength was enough, they were unable to shake the forces of either side.

The Mannheim Coast by the Sea of Stars was full of races and had complicated relationships. Although Kant had defeated one of them, the high level Jackalan expedition army of the Kingdom of Grey Mane, it did not mean that he able to crush the whole kingdom.

They defeated the expedition army because they had the geographical advantage, a vast natural barrier protected the Oasis Lookout.

The plan that Kant and Firentis had made was very successful.

This was because no one was able to carry out a long and fierce siege battle without sufficient supplies after crossing the Nahrin Desert. This was unrealistic.

But even so, the high level Jackalan of the Kingdom of Grey Mane still showcased their absolute battle strength.

Kant already had some scruples in his heart.

What would happen if the distance between the two was shorter.

The former Jackalan captives were right. These high-level Jackalans were indeed invincible in the Mannheim Coast when it came to close-combat in heavy footman sequence. They were so strong to the point where the lizardmen could only rely on city walls and crossbows to defend themselves; so strong to the point where even the elves could only offer friendly letters on trade cooperation and peace.

Drondheim’s strength was still relatively weak, including against the Dukedom of Leo.

Kant was confident, if he launched a surprise attack, he could easily take over the Stone Pass.

But Kant’s strength would also be exposed.

What came to him next was definitely not the Dukedom of Leo’s welcome for the strong, but an absolute fear for a potential threat to themselves. They would not hesitate to unite against a potential threat. Using the force they had cultivated in the Dukedom of Leo for a hundred years, they would crush Kant to death in the Oasis Lookout.

This time, it would be very thorough. They would not even give Kant the chance to continue his exile.

What they wanted was a corpse that could no longer threaten them.

......

The stone-paved road had been built. Following the mountain ranges of the Senwaya Range, it slightly curved from the “Aaron” Village to the entrance where Kant had entered.

The three-meter-wide road was paved with neatly cut stones. The gaps were filled with lime. In order to make the road waterproof, drainage channels were dug on both sides of the reinforced roadbed. Even if there was heavy rain, the road would not collapse, instead, the rain water would flow into the lowest mountain valley along with the excellent drainage system.

The most important thing was that there was finally a road in the complicated mountain.

This meant that they were able to move quickly and no need to worry about the trouble caused by the complicated environment.

Even the cavalry could move quickly.

This made the Swadian knights, who had already had enough of the soft sand layer in the desert, to tap their horses’ stomachs lightly and increase their speed. They moved quickly along the mountain road towards the “Aaron” Village and could not wait to protect their Lord Kant.

Meanwhile, the 30 one-humped camels were still walking at a leisurely pace behind them.

The footmen and archers were accompanying them on both sides.

With these rangers, sergeants, and snipers, it would be a suicide for the ordinary demonized creatures to come across them. Even if it was the savage demonized creature, it would be killed by these elites if careless.

The Ravenstern rangers were top-notch archers.

The Swadian sergeants were the heavy footmen with the best defense.

As for the Swadian snipers, even if they used heavy crossbows which were not as strong as siege crossbows, they still had plenty of combat experiences.

Three layers of defense, far, middle, and close range.

This was also the reason why Kant asked these troop class soldiers to come over to assist in defense. With their presence, it would be the moment when the strength of “Aaron” Village would increase. Even if there were savage demonized creatures came over, there was no need to worry too much.

No matter what, those demonized creatures were all wild beasts.

The close combat of these creatures was many times stronger than humans, but humans had wisdom, command, and weapons.

As long as they avoided the attacks, they could grasp to the weaknesses of these creatures.

These demonized would only end up being dug by their hearts and become Kant’s spoils of war.

And within these short seven days, Kant led the troops of the Kingdom of Rhodoks. With Mamlukes and the Ravenstern rangers as the foundation, they swept through the surrounding mountains and blocked the ambush of the pseudo-demonized wolves a few times at the Evil Cave. The initial 50 Rhodok peasants and 10 Rhodok tribesmen had all been upgraded to a level up 3 troop class.

40 Rhodok trained spearmen.

20 Rhodok trained crossbowmen.

It was these level up 3 troop classes that formed a dense phalanx of spears. Combined with the continuous arrow rain attacks from the Ravenstern rangers, they were able to keep the pseudo demonized wolf pack inside the evil cave.

As they experienced more and more battles recently, more and more concentrated battles, there were signs of leveling up again.

They would be leveled up in unison.

At that time, “Aaron” Village would welcome a new batch of Level 4 troop class.

This was all thanks to the danger of the Senwaya Range.

Or rather, it could be said that with the help of Mamluke and the Ravenstern rangers, as well ad for the 20 wardens who had first killed most of the enemies with their superb archery skills, these low-level Rhodok soldiers would have suffered heavy losses long ago. They could only let Kant lead them to level up in batches and would not be as simple as it was now.

Before long, James and 50 Swadian knights had already stomped on the stone-paved road and quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain peak where “Aaron” Village was located.

The mountain peak was not very steep.

There were cliffs on the east and south sides. The Evil Cave on the west side which located at the halfway point of the mountain was still considered flat, but there was also cliffs beyond the cave. Only the area where there were stone pavement ruins on the north side was a 40-degree slope.

Not to mention one could walk easy on it, even a warhorse could directly rush up.

However, at the top of the mountain, a half-meter-high city wall had already circled around the edge of the mountain, temporarily marking out the current area of “Aaron” Village. Although it could not stop the demonized creatures that really wanted to invade, it would not be a problem to block out some wild beasts.

Thousands of acres of land was quite vast.

The council hall was only built in the center of the north. Even if there were ten more houses, they would be insignificant to the thousands of acres of flat open land.

On the south side, the city wall had already been built.

However, the dense forests and shrubs had not been completely cut down by the Rhodok people.

It had at least 400 acres of land.

And according to Kant and the architectural team’s previous calculations, the overall area of this mountain peak was about 1,600 acres, which was close to the land area of a small Village. As Kant’s development plan, whether it was developing into a small town or a large castle, the area of this mountain peak was completely enough, and more than enough!
