Lord of the Oasis - Chapter 335

Chapter 335: The Feud Between Noble Families

In the Senwaya Range, a new city was being built. People were eager to see this city completed as soon as possible and become their home in the future.

However, Kant didn’t stay here for long.

Although he was the lord of this place.

But in the depths of the Nahrin Desert, the oasis lookout, where the “Drondheim” castle was, was still waiting for his return.

The purpose of coming here was to find the sun disc.

In the depths of the desert, the mysterious undead that had appeared, and the strategic level buff death canopy, were still waiting for him to crack.

Now that he had found a way to crack it and even found a divine artifact that could perfectly protect the local environment, Kant had to return as soon as possible to resolve this threat and restore peace to his own estate so that he could regain control of this place.

50,000 square meters, an area of five hectares.

This was Kant’s reliance.

After enveloping Drondheim’s castle, the curtain of death would no longer pose any threat.

Even the undead that entered the area covered by the sun disc would be turned into a ball of burning flames because the negative energy in their bodies could not fuse with the positive energy outside!

The positive energy was a lethal poison to the undead!

They set off again.

Kant led the team personally.

Ten Lion Knights carried the sun disk that was already wrapped up and followed.

However, there was one more person on their return trip this time.

That was Bandake.

As an apostle from the underworld, a hidden force from the world of Pande and the spokesperson of the underworld, he had already absorbed the power of the Abyss Demons in this world and underwent an absolute transformation. He could be considered the strongest person at the moment.

Among all the forces of Kant, he was the strongest person in terms of combat power!

Not to mention the 1,000% increase in attributes.

He could open the Void Gate once a day and summon a small team of underworld invaders. Although the number of people would definitely not exceed 10, it was precisely these 10 people who could be considered as elites!

If one were to count, they would all be at the level 7 troop class!

1 Demon Avenger, a long-range archer. Using multiple arrows, one person could be used as 10 sniper crossbowmen. Their shooting speed was extremely fast. The rain of arrows from the chain shots could even Pierce through steel shields!

2 Demon Berserker. Two-handed combat. They were even stronger than Lion Knights in close combat. What was even more terrifying was that this troop class could teleport. They could charge to their side at a distance of 1,000 meters. They raised their two-handed greatswords and slashed. They did not care about the terrain at all. Moreover, they could recover their HP when they killed, they could use the blood and lives of their enemies to make up for their own exhaustion and injuries.

<ol start=”3″>

Demonic Immortal Warriors. Assault Cavalry. Riding on a nightmare that was like a warhorse. Their mobility was extremely strong. Moreover, they could frighten the surrounding creatures. The path they walked would also be covered with the flames of hell. They would suffer the burning effect if they stepped on it, moreover, they could throw javelins when they were in close combat with their enemies. Similarly, they could throw multiple javelins. Their power was comparable to the siege crossbows that were fired from a bed crossbow. Even heavy-armored cavalry could be shot through!

These were the main members of the demon squad.

It was usually made up of four Demon Avengers, three Demon Berserkers, and two Demonic Immortal Warriors.

It was precisely these ten demon invader squads that were almost rampaging in the Pande continent. In the early days, when the Lord did not have a top-tier troop class, or when there were fewer top-tier troop classes, they would often meet a tragic end.

Terrifying attack power, terrifying firing speed, terrifying ammunition quantity, and terrifying speed.

It was enough to destroy any troop class formation!

Even if it was a top-tier troop class, they would have to form a numerical advantage before they could fight.

And after the reinforcement of this world, such as the addition of extraordinary power and elemental power, the demon invader squads that belonged to a level-7 troop class would be so powerful that even an ordinary level-6 extraordinary troop class would have to pay a heavy price dealing with them.

For example, the royal knights and Lion Knights that Kant had now were helpless against the demon invaders!

It was worth celebrating.

Kant’s subordinate, Bandake, was the controller of the demon invaders.

Therefore, this was Kant’s military power.

If the battle with the undead reached a stalemate, then the underworld invaders that Bandake summoned would have the effect of a surprise attack. They would enter the sky of death and pursue the undead to relieve the pressure on Kant.

Including the golems that the mages had summoned, they would be able to reduce the pressure on the defense.

However, the most crucial thing.

Was still the ability to defend themselves.

If Kant could fend against the attacks of the undead, then he would not need external help.

After all, what he could rely on now was still the troop class formed by ordinary soldiers. This was Kant’s direct troop class, the key to leading them to sweep through this world!

They continued their return journey, leaving the Senwaya range and trekking through the Nahrin Desert.

The group advanced very quickly.

This was because of their extraordinary power.

They all had this power, so they could urge their warhorse to run faster. At the same time, they could nourish their warhorse and replenish their stamina, in exchange for the possibility of a long journey.

After a day of trekking, they arrived at the central posthouse.

“My Lord!”

The patrol team of desert bandits quickly discovered Kant and the others who were coming from the depths of the desert.

They crowded over and greeted them warmly.

“Yes.” Kant nodded.

He rode his horse to the top of the dune and looked at the posthouse in the desert plains in the distance. There were many tents set up, and the trade caravan also came and went. He couldn’t help but say with satisfaction, “It seems that everything is in order.”

“Yes, my Lord. Ever since the last battle ended, the merchants who came have been very polite.”

The desert bandits reported the latest information.

It was just as Kant had expected.

Fatis had personally led the team, along with 10 Sarion Lion Knights, 120 Swadian Knights, and 500 Swadian Infantry to garrison at the Stone Pass. It almost meant that he had complete control of the place.

How could the noble families not be shocked?

Even Baron Dylan had been taken care of, and the territory had been taken over. This meant that Kant’s strength was astonishing.

Before they could gather effective intelligence and organize absolute force, the noble families would not be the first to show themselves. Even if they attacked, they would do so in secret. They would not have any conflict with Kant for a short period of time.

Although they understood that Kant was a thorn in their side.

However…

There were also conflicts between the noble families.

Especially those families that have existed for hundreds of years. How could they not have any history?

Even if there were none, they would definitely take advantage of another when one of them is in decline. They might even take over the other party’s territory. That would be even more fruitful than obtaining a salt mine!

Therefore, the Nahrin Desert fell into a strange silence.

It was similar to a stalemate.

But for Kant, it was good news.

The longer it dragged on, the more advantageous it would be for Kant’s development.

It would be even better if he could take advantage of this period of time to directly get rid of the death canopy in the depths of the Nahrin Desert!

“Let’s go to the posthouse.”

Kant lightly knocked his legs against the horse’s belly and led the team down the dune.

After saluting, the desert bandits watched them leave. After all, as scouts and cavalry, these desert bandits had their own patrol mission. They could not let go of any spies who tried to sneak into the depths of the desert, especially those who were close to the Oasis Lookout!

Recently, they had already gotten rid of quite a number of these guys.

It was said that in the underground black market of the Dukedom of Leo, the information about the oasis lookout had already reached 100 great silver coins.

As long as they gave specific information, they would be able to get money.

Although there were some who tried to cheat their way through, most of them were mercenaries who wanted to take risks. They appeared in the desert like rats, bringing more than ten days’ worth of dry food and water. They foolishly wanted to cross the desert and head to the Oasis Lookout.

Everyone had a copy of the route map from the Dukedom of Leo, but less than ten percent of them could make it to the Oasis Lookout alive.

The central posthouse didn’t need captives.

Rolf wasn’t a kind person to begin with.

Desert bandits. One could tell from their names that they wouldn’t show the slightest bit of mercy.

A large number of scattered mercenaries appeared here with the mentality of getting lucky and making a fortune. They were then discovered by the patrolling desert bandits and slaughtered in the desert with machetes and spears.

Even if there were groups of twenty to thirty mercenaries that formed a small mercenary group and carriages that transported goods.

They would still be caught by the desert bandits with their short pilum from afar.

Then, they would gather more desert bandits and launch a surprise attack in the complex terrain of dune groups. They would easily take them away in one wave and slaughter them in the dune, turning them into miserable dried corpses in the desert or being eaten by the passing Jackalan as food.

As for those who were willing to surrender and be captured as captives, Rolf also had a troublesome idea to kill them all.

It was very easy to cut a throat with a knife.

The current Oasis Lookout had already taken in over a thousand captives. There was no shortage of slaves in the salt mine. After all, production was limited, and transporting supplies to these slaves was also a troublesome matter. After all, there were many people, and the supplies needed were also very large.

Moreover, in the salt mine posthouse, they still needed to ensure the daily lives of the slaves.

If a thousand people caused a ruckus, it would not be a small deal.

Entering the central posthouse.

Rolf stood at the door and bowed respectfully. “Welcome, Lord Kant!”

“Mm.”

Kant nodded and praised, “Well done.”

Looking at the tents not far away, many members and leaders of the trade caravan walked out and looked curiously at Kant and the others. The expressions of those who reacted quickly changed drastically, and they bowed respectfully on the spot. It was obvious that they had guessed the identity of the newcomers.

The news that Kant had massacred those knight attendants who had come to attack had long been spread back to the Dukedom of Leo. At the very least, the merchants who had arrived now did not dare to act rashly even if they had the support of the noble behind them.

At the moment, Kant’s still stronger!

No one dared to offend him.

Entering the hall of the posthouse, the mages heard of Kant’s arrival and walked down to the second floor one after another.

“How’s the research going?”

Kant still regarded these 18 mages highly.

“It’s going very smoothly.” The mages did not let down their expectations and said with certainty, “The sun disk can be absorbed at any time, and the research on the two elemental bodies has also reached a certain conclusion. If we continue studying, we will definitely obtain useful results.”

“Very good!” The corner of Kant’s mouth curled up slightly.

Turning his head to look out of the window, he said with a sigh, “But what we need to deal with now is still the undead!”
