Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 37. Perseverance in Adversity

The Hobson Knight chuckled: "This is an investigation funded by Duke Cameron."

He noticed Kant's thoughts and explained: "Scholar Hank is one of the famous scholars in the Principality of the Lion, and he has come to certain conclusions about the Lost City, so Duke Cameron is willing to sponsor the scholar Hank to accomplish this. Field trips.”

"This is an inspection that is bound to pay off."

Hank Scholar nodded and said solemnly: "I once obtained an old manuscript, which has a connection with the Lost City."

"Huh?" Kant was stunned.

He thought of the ancient manuscript that he was in charge of half a year before he left the academy.

He couldn't help but asked, "What are you talking about, the manuscript?"

"That's right."

Hank Scholar nodded: "It's the manuscript."

His tone paused for a while, and his old face was also filled with joy: "Thanks to you for organizing the information, I finally deciphered the text inside, and there is also the most important sentence about the lost city."

"yes."

Kant looked at Hank Scholar with some solemnity.

Even the Hobson Knight next to him, and the captain Rowan who followed behind, who dared not speak much, also subconsciously looked at the old scholar who was famous in the Lion Principality.

"When the sun rises again, the golden city will bloom again."

With a solemn expression, Hank Scholar spoke slowly, with a slow tone, just enough for everyone to hear.

As if touching the soul.

Because this is the word of prophecy.

The Hank scholar paused slightly and added: "This is recorded in the ancient manuscript. After I deciphered it, I am quite sure that the golden holy city mentioned above represents the lost city."

"Really... shocking."

Knight Hobson sighed softly. He had considerable literary accomplishment, and naturally he could hear the stalwart in this sentence.

As for the cavalry captain Rowan, he didn't dare to say anything at this time.

His status is not comparable to the three in front of him.

"It's really shocking."

Kant nodded, even if he heard this sentence, he felt a shock.

Looking at the old Hank scholar, Kant also sighed softly: "Mr. Hank, maybe you can really find something."

"Will do."

Hank Scholar grins.

He naturally knew what Kant's sigh was, but he didn't explain it either.

For the old man, what he can find is another matter. The most important thing is that he has to come and see for himself. Even if it is risking his life and risking the ridicule of his colleagues, he must come and inspect in person, even if he fails. .

"Ugh-"

But at this moment, in the sentry oasis behind him, a long horn sounded suddenly.

The 17 desert robbers turned their heads suddenly.

And Kant's face was also stiff, and he said subconsciously: "Not good."

"Baron Kant, are you in trouble?"

Hobson Knight also frowned, looking at Kant's somewhat embarrassed face, and couldn't help asking: "This horn seems to be very urgent."

Horns are naturally used to convey information.

This is also common in lion principalities.

"That's right."

Kant nodded and said solemnly: "There are enemies, and there are a lot of them."

He said briefly.

In fact, even Kant does not know how many enemies have come.

But according to the system introduction, and the horns on the watchtower are so rushing, it must be indispensable.

"Gnoll?"

Cavalry captain Rowan couldn't help but blurt out at this time.

He, who had fought side by side with Kant, naturally knew that the oases of sentry that had undergone great changes in front of him were actually captured by them from a certain gnoll tribe.

"It should be about the same."

Hank Scholar also nodded and said, "Gnolls have lived in the Naron Desert since ancient times.

"

Hobson Knight smiled: "If it's a gnoll, I think it might be able to help."

The squires and knights behind him had a scale of 50 heavy cavalry. Even in the battle sequence of the Principality of Lions, they were the absolute main force, and they were more than enough to deal with primitive gnolls.

"Thanks so much, Hobson Knight."

Kant's heart moved slightly, and the system task was to ask them to form a coalition.

A verbal agreement has now been reached.

From the point of view of the system, the temporary task has been completed.

[Ding... After your unremitting efforts, the temporary task has been completed]

[Temporary mission: "Forming a coalition army" completed]

[Reward: Arrow Rain Cover (500 Vicia Marksmen) × 3 waves]

[Introduction: You have reached a covenant with the elite troops, which improves the chances of overcoming this difficulty. But remember, covenants are never reliable, only yourself can be trusted. 】

On Retina, the dialog appears.

In Kant's mind, a golden card was also floating, as if waiting to be stimulated.

There are countless figures drawn on it, and they seem to be holding bows and arrows, and they are shooting forward. Referring to the description of the so-called "Arrow Rain Covering", Kant also roughly understands the meaning.

"Three salvos of 500 Vicia marksmen?"

Licking the corner of his mouth, Kant's eyes were firm: "This is very good."

Vicia marksman, one of the two strongest arms in the system.

The other is a Rhodok sniper, a terrifying crossbowman with a very long range and high power.

The Vicia marksman is an archer with an extremely fast rate of fire and an extremely long range. It can be called a defensive machine gun and occupies a certain shooting position. As long as there are enough feather arrows, the enemy can see what cruelty is.

And after the scale, the overwhelming arrow rain coverage is also the essence of this unit.

Even the Swadian knights, the king of land battles who are stuffed in tin cans with men and horses, have to pay a certain price to get close to the large-scale Vicia marksmen before they can wipe them out.

"Come to my fief village."

Kant said to the Hobson knight and Hank scholar in front of him: "Although it is small, it is at least a defensive place."

"That's it." Hobson Knight nodded.

The 50 squire knights behind him also approached.

These are reserve knights. If they can achieve military exploits or possess extraordinary power, they will become enviable knights and become the cornerstone of the noble class.

Everyone left the dunes and returned to the sentry oasis.

Those infantrymen were still a little stunned.

The enemy who was still waiting in battle before, has now become an allied army.

But thinking about it carefully, I can't help but laugh, this may be caused by a misunderstanding in intelligence.

However, the real enemy has really come.

The militiamen on the watchtower quickly came down, their faces dignified.

Quickly walked to Kant and reported: "Lord Kant, a large number of gnolls have been found in the northeast. The preliminary estimate is that the number can reach 2,000, and the traveling speed is very fast. It is predicted that they will reach the sentry oasis in 20 minutes."

"2000 gnolls?"

Kant frowned slightly, and there was a bit of dryness in his mouth.

This number is a bit surprising.

Even the Hobson Knight and the Hank Scholar who came over with a cane had a bit of seriousness on their faces.

So many gnolls have caused qualitative changes.

Even the 50 retinue knights belonging to the heavy cavalry could not easily pierce the formation of these gnolls.

At this time, the most reasonable tactic is to avoid.

But for Kant, the gnoll who came directly to his sentry oasis is definitely not a problem of avoidance, because once he chooses to avoid it, it means that the oasis is occupied by the gnoll.

And his dehrim.

His fief village.

Representing loss, he will have nothing.

[Ding... Temporary task release]

【Temporary Mission: Perseverance in Adversity】

[Reward: Dinar × 1000, Prestige × 500, Honor × 1]

[Introduction: Dim sky, tragic battle. Whether you can defend your village depends on your persistence. Believe in yourself, the hardest perseverance will work wonders. 】

Right on Kant's retina, the dialog reappears.

But this is precisely the new temporary task.
