Lord of the Oasis - Chapter 486
Chapter 486: The Future Planning
Kant followed the mage and entered a room in the cabin.
After entering the room, the mage carefully closed the door and added a layer of soundproof effect to the room.
This room was located in the depths of the cabin and had no windows.
Other than one side of the aisle, there were other rooms on the other three sides. There were also other rooms on the opposite side of the aisle.
It could be said that this room was almost the most central room in the cabin. With the other rooms blocking it, no sound would leak out from this room.
This room was a place Kant used to communicate with his subordinates remotely. It had been specially modified, and the sound insulation effect was very outstanding.
The room was surrounded by double-layered wooden walls. There were some luxurious decorations hanging on the walls. These were all items looted from the headquarters of the Crimson Sect in the Mountain of Death. Not only was this room decorated like this, the rest of the rooms on the trireme had been meticulously decorated.
When Kant appointed this trireme as his temporary residence on the way, Baheshtur had thoughtfully arranged everything on the ship for him.
As a lord, Kant only needed to enjoy the service of his subordinates. He did not need to personally work.
The floor of the room was covered with a thick layer of velvet carpet. Not only was it very comfortable to step on it, but it also greatly enhanced the soundproofing effect of the room. Even if someone sneaked under the trireme or stuck their ears to the flat bottom of the ship, they would definitely not be able to hear a single sound in the room.
In the middle of the room, there was a long table made of solid wood.
A scroll made of the leather of the savaged demonized creatures was spread out on the long table. The scroll was carved with mithril powder with intricate and complicated magic array patterns. At this moment, these magic array patterns were shimmering.
Above the scroll, about thirty centimeters away, a transparent crystal ball was floating quietly.
These magical tools were able to transmit sound across long distances. They were also from the headquarters of the Crimson Sect and had been modified by the mages from the Enfath Empire, the sound would definitely not be intercepted by the mages of this world.
After the mage closed the door, he respectfully helped Kant pull the chair out from under the solid wooden table. The chair was also covered with a layer of luxurious velvet.
“Lord Kant, please sit!”
The mage slightly bowed to Kant and made an inviting gesture, respectfully inviting Kant to take a seat.
“Okay!” Kant responded and sat down appropriately.
The mage stood beside Kant and began to chant a spell in a low voice.
After the incantation was finished, the crystal ball floating in the air emitted a thin red light and began to slowly rotate on its own.
At the same time, Rolf’s desert bandits were stationed in an abandoned farm in the South County. Hundreds of desert bandits were sent out to patrol within 20 kilometers of the camp day and night, they searched for any suspicious people.
Rolf arranged dozens of desert bandits to guard around a tent in the camp and closely monitor the surroundings.
In the middle of that tent, there was a clean piece of linen on the ground. There was also a set of rolled-up scrolls and crystal balls on the linen.
Unlike the spell casters chanted, the crystal ball in the tent was held by a Sarleon Lion Knight. A bright red extraordinary power circulated in the Lion Knight’s hand and was transmitted into the crystal ball.
The moment the crystal ball above the table in front of Kant rotated, the crystal ball held by the Lion Knight suddenly emitted a faint red glow.
Seeing this, a trace of joy appeared on Rolf’s face. This meant that the crystal ball in front of him had been connected to the crystal ball on the trireme where the honorable Lord Kant was.
At this moment, Rolf and the Lion Knight in the tent heard a voice coming from the crystal ball.
“Lord, this crystal ball has already connected with the one that Mr. Rolf has kept. Now you can talk to Mr. Rolf!”
The mage’s voice was very respectful and solemn. Rolf could imagine that the respected Lord Kant was currently near the other crystal ball.
Sure enough, not long after, the respected Lord Kant’s calm and gentle voice came from the crystal ball.
“Rolf, I heard that you have something to discuss with me?”
It could be heard that Lord Kant was in a good mood.
Rolf organized his words and said respectfully, “My lord, it is my honor to be able to hear your voice from a thousand miles away!”
“I am also very happy to hear your voice, Rolf! Tell me, what is it?”
Rolf’s voice carried a hint of pride, he reported loudly, “Lord, with my trap, we completely annihilated the five knight corps of the Southern County’s noble alliance army. There was a total of 5,000 knights, of which 500 were official knights and 4,500 were knight attendants. At the same time, we also heavily injured the despicable rebel army that wreaked havoc in the South County. My troop did not suffer any damage!”
“Well done, Rolf!” His highness Kant’s joyful voice was transmitted from the crystal.
Rolf’s face revealed an excited and joyful expression. The praise from his highness Kant was undoubtedly the most beautiful words in the world to Rolf. It was after he joined his highness Kant and became his subordinate, it had always been his heartfelt pursuit.
This was the best praise for Rolf.
Rolf calmed his emotions, the, he reported to Kant, “Lord, there are only 15 knight corps left in the noble alliance army of South County who are confronting Firentis at the front line of South County. After discussing with Firentis, I have decided that the time for the decisive battle has come!”
“Oh? The heavy cavalry of the Dukedom of Leo has always been elite. They have an invincible reputation among the human countries. Why do you think that the time for the decisive battle has come?” Kant’s voice came from the crystal ball. His tone was very relaxed. Obviously, this was a test for Rolf.
Rolf thought carefully, he replied, “Lord, we have already heard about the erosion of the Silver Platter Kingdom. At this time, the Silver Platter Kingdom has already fallen into chaos. As time goes by, the pressure on the defense line on the south bank of the Reniston River will become less and less.”
After a pause, Rolf continued, “After a period of time, the Grand Duke of Leo may directly transfer a portion of his elite troops from the defense line on the south bank of the Reniston River to quickly wipe out the uprising army of the South County. Then, he will gather with the noble alliance army who are currently stationed in the front lines of the North County and South County.”
