Lord of the Oasis - Chapter 657

Chapter 657: Reinforcements From the Elves

“Wow!!” A burst of exclamations erupted from the troop.

Bunduk also stood on the spot in slight shock. He did not expect that the magic spells of the Elf Kingdom and the craftsmanship of the Dwarf Kingdom would have such an impressive impact.

“Lord, how did you know there would be such powerful weapon?” staring at the rainbow-piercing crossbow in his hand, Bunduk asked.

“This is introduced by an employee of the Dwarf Kingdom. It was their weapon to defend against the enemies. It has been modified using a different model.” Kant introduced.

The dwarfs were short in size, and they were solitary in nature. They did not have any practical interactions with other races. Therefore, creating weapons with extraordinary power became their main military defense method.

However, in the past, most of the magic weapons produced by the dwarfs were sealed with the power of nature. This time, the power of the elves was sealed in the rainbow-piercing crossbow, which was a new development.

“This rainbow-piercing crossbow is indeed extraordinary.” Bunduk sighed again.

“Well, you can choose a team from Rhdoks barracks to train them to use this weapon. This way, they will be ten times or even a hundred times more deadly on the battlefield.” Kant praised.

“Indeed.” Bunduk placed the rainbow-piercing crossbow back into the chest and said excitedly to Kant, “Lord Kant has been working hard these past few days to find such powerful backup for us. We are truly grateful.”

“After all, there are only a few wars like this. Naturally, we have to be extra careful. However, what I can do is only a small amount of my strength. The main contribution is still the warriors who sacrifice themselves and fight. I hope that you can reduce the casualties as much as possible and return victorious.” Kant said seriously.

Bunduk raised his right hand to his chest and nodded solemnly.

After Kant handed over the Elf Kingdom’s reinforcements to Bunduk’s troop, he and the accompanying guards rode on camels and set off towards Drondheim’s castle gate.

Meanwhile, the army heading towards the Undead Kingdom and continued their long journey.

Compared to the battles on the battlefield, the long journey of half a month seemed to be more torturous. However, thanks to the special training from before, there was still no sign of soldiers falling behind until now.

It was currently summer, the temperature difference in the desert between day and night had become even more extreme.

Bunduk and his subordinates began to search for a place to set up camp in the evening every day.

This was because the temperature was relatively mildest during the day.

When the sky turned dark, the hot roasted sand had cooled down, and sometimes there was even a thin layer of frost. In order to adapt to such a temperature difference, everyone would wrap a cotton coat and light a bonfire.

The warriors of Drondheim preferred to talk. They were usually restrained in the military camp, but when it came to the time for battle, the atmosphere was very lively.

Under such circumstances, other than stipulating that they needed to rest on time, Bunduk did not say much else as a commander.

Therefore, during these days, the warriors would organize some small activities to deepen their relationship and communicate with each other.

The people of the Elf Kingdom were relatively quiet. After receiving their portion of supplies, they hadn’t seen them in the crowd.

Bunduk had known these people in the previous battles. Although he didn’t really know them, he was still familiar with their habits.

It seemed that in the Elf Kingdom’s army, the level of the medics was lower than that of the ordinary soldiers. Therefore, this group of medics belonged to the silent category in their own country. However, their work style was still quite reliable.

This was enough for the current Drondheim army.

According to the reply from the leading team, their current location was in the northwest direction of Undead City. It would take them about a week to reach the perimeter of the watchtower.

One morning, Bunduk picked a dozen warriors that he thought highly of from Rhodok soldiers.

Then, he began to study the effects of the rainbow-piercing crossbow.

The body of the rainbow-piercing crossbow was lighter than a normal crossbow. However, it was still not easy for Rhodok soldiers to ride a horse while controlling this weapon.

Bunduk could only supervise and help them complete their shooting training every day.

Under Bunduk’s strict requirements, the soldiers’ training became more effective.

At least on the night before they arrived at the Undead City, Bunduk had fully raised his confidence and courage to win.

“Commander Bunduk, we have arrived near the detection area of Undead City.” a subordinate who had been assisting Bunduk in handling military affairs all year round reported.

“Alright, then let’s rest here for the night. We will prepare to attack the Undead City tomorrow.” Bunduk ordered.

On the eve of the war, the camp was no longer as noisy as before.

Some of the soldiers’ tents were still lit up until late at night.

Early the next morning, Bunduk led his team and set off.

The soldiers responsible for scouting at the frontlines had already seized the watchtower in a corner of the Undead City, ensuring that Bunduk’s team of several thousand people would not be discovered by the undead before they reached the city gates.

Drondheim’s troops were arranged in a formation below the main city gates of Undead City.

The undead soldiers guarding the city walls began to panic. After all, they were still very unfamiliar with Drondheim’s soldiers.

The undead soldiers hurriedly ran down the city walls, wanting to send a message.

However, they were pierced through the skull by Bunduk’s arrow and fell to the ground miserably.

The Swadian soldiers began to attack the city gates with wooden logs.

The archers were behind him to protect him, preventing the soldiers on the tower from poking their heads out.

Bunduk couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. He felt that something wasn’t right.

They chose to attack Undead City in the morning, and so on. Ordinary undead soldiers were no threat to them. However, this was only a sweet appetizer before the high-level undead soldiers arrived.

What followed was the true bitter battle.

A burly undead who was taller than ordinary undead soldiers jumped down from the city wall.

His movements were extremely smooth, as if his limbs were tightly stuck together.

The arrows from the bow and arrow brushed past him.

When his feet touched the ground, his right hand raised a sharp greataxe.

His hand raised the blade and slashed down, immediately shattering the wooden logs that were attacking the city.

Standing near him, the Swadian Sergeant could not help but be shocked. He immediately took out his shield to protect himself.

Bunduk was stunned. He had never seen such an undead warrior before.

Within the warrior’s originally pitch-black eye sockets, there was a hint of blood-red light.

“This is?”
