Chapter 002. Gnoll's sneak attack(1/2)

Gnolls are the most common humanoid race in the Naren Desert.

It once formed a scale, crossing the Sangwaya Mountains from the Naren Desert, and taking advantage of the long-term war between the Lion Principal and other Principals, and invading the land on the northern border, it really harmed nearly three years.

Just like nausea ulcers, there is a tendency to continue to spread to more central areas.

This is why, after the Lion Principality ended its war with other Principalities, it directly began to clear the werewolves.

The clearance lasted for a year.

Invading the Duchy of Lion was like a tribe of gnolls coming to heaven, and was soon defeated.

Without excellent weapons and excellent armor, the Gnoll tribe is no match for the human army at all.

On the battlefield, the werewolf was easily strangled by the cavalry troops proud of the Lion Principality.

It is said that the werewolf's head was cut off ten years ago and was inserted into both sides of the road.

The cruel clearance has completely evolved into a massacre, from the northern border of the Duchy of the Lion to the southern part of the Naren Desert, the main large-scale were almost completely massacred.

The surviving werewolf tribe also chose to migrate to the northern desert in fear.

But there are also scattered gnolls.

Even in the Sanwaya Mountains, there are many gnoll tribes, because several villages on the northern border of the Lion Principality will be attacked by gnolls from time to time.

As for the southern part of the Naren Desert, after ten years of rest and recuperation, it is estimated that the number of the werewolves tribes is greater!

"There's no way to look back."

Kant pursed his chapped lips, and his face also had a firm look.

When he comes here, he will build his own village here, with the "King of Swadia" in the system as the golden finger, and he is definitely not nothing.

The dune mentioned in advance was right in front, which was the preset point for them to camp.

They are going to set up tents in the shade of the dunes.

"Young guys, you're all busy!"

The command of the cavalry was still in Luo Wen's hands, and he also arranged for himself: "Everyone searches around me. I don't want to be gnawed off my internal organs after falling asleep!"

Following his orders, 20 cavalrymen were immediately dispersed.

However, some people don’t care. They have been away for 6 days and have not seen the werewolf yet.

So the search of these cavalry was not very careful. After confirming that the sand dune was indeed abnormal, they all came back, and they couldn't wait to set up a tent and rest well.

"Get a tent."

Kant also arranged for the farmers to take action.

The three carriages all had camping supplies, including more than a dozen tents, wooden sticks and linen ropes for support.

Some farmers were taking out their long sickles and digging sand quickly, piled all the thirty centimeters of yellow sand on the surface outside, revealing the cooler sand layer below.

This is a tip in the desert, lying inside can effectively avoid the scorching heat.

The same technique of gnolls' survival in the desert was learned by soldiers of the Duchy of Lion ten years ago, and was recorded by scholars in their books after the war.

Before Kant left, he specifically consulted various books from the Naren Desert.

The 20 tents were quickly built in the sand pit, fixed by wooden sticks as skeletons and long linen ropes, allowing all 51 people to rest well inside, including the 27 horses.

"The rest is left to you, Luo Wen."

Kant also breathed a sigh of relief when he stood in front of his exclusive small tent.

Basically, all the work was over, Luo Wen nodded and responded: "As for orders, Lord Baron."

The next job is to feed the horses water, and at the same time allocate personnel to make lunch and distribute everyone's drinking water for the next half day. Although it is easy, it cannot be careless. Luo Wen, who has a calm personality, is the best choice.

The tent blocks the sunlight, and the shallow pit brings coolness to the earth.

Kant laid the linen mat underneath and lay down in, and the arduous journey along the way seemed to have dissipated.

"Maybe for a light beer this time, it must be the best."

Kant closed his eyes and couldn't help but sigh: "I just don't know when I can enjoy it in the future."

He is in a state of starting from scratch.

Light beer is basically a luxury item and is simply impossible to enjoy, because no caravan will come to the post oasis and provide these supposedly cheap wines to his fief.

This is the Naren Desert.

A barren land where no humans will appear!

Shaking his head, Kant didn't think much about it.

But his nose sniffed slightly, and the fragrance of food came from outside the tent.

It was also lunch time, but just as Kant was planning to sniff in the shallow pit for a while, the familiar system prompt sound in his ear woke him up.

At the same time, a dialog box also appears on the retina.

【Ding…temporary task release】

【Temporary Mission: The Gnoll's Sneak Attack】

[Reward: Date palm tree × 20 (fruit period)]

【Introduction: The aroma of cooking attracts a group of nerds with a keen sense of smell, you need to defeat them.】

Kant stood up directly in the shallow pit.

His face was a little solemn, because this was a temporary task of the system, and it was released from time to time.

But this temporary task of this system just proves one thing.

That is, around the sand dunes where they were camping, there was a group of gnolls who had unknown numbers lurking, and they had already discovered them and were ready to launch a sneak attack on them!

"Clean careless."

Kant was also a little helpless against the cavalry, but he had no command and could not order them at all.

I quickly walked out of the tent, and there were more than a dozen farmers preparing lunch outside.

As for the cavalry sent by the Duchy of the Lion to protect them, they all hid in their tents and sand pits, and there was not even a person keeping watch, and their defense was quite lax.

Kant frowned at this.

If it weren't for the system's prompt, I guess those gnolls wouldn't be discovered if they appeared near the tent!

No comments.

Kant came to the carriage and found his own box.

Inside is a fixed light crossbow and a matching quiver, where 20 thicker and shorter iron crossbow arrows are neatly placed.

The gnoll needs to be discovered by himself, because Kant cannot explain how he knows that the gnoll is preparing to attack. Although he is half a scholar, he is definitely not a magician with mysterious power.

With three Swadia farmers, they walked quickly towards the top of the camping dunes.

Squatting carefully, Kant scanned the surrounding environment.

"I found them there."

A farmer's voice sounded, pointing to the north with a silence: "Look, gnolls, there are many!"

"Yeah." Kant nodded.

Just north of the dune, on the dune more than 700 meters away, about 50 werewolves in tattered clothes were quietly touching them, lying down, as if they were hunting.

But this is indeed hunting, those fierce werewolves, and the recipes are made of human flesh.

"Get back, wake everyone up and prepare for the fight."

Kant squatted and retreated. Although his face was solemn, he was much more relaxed.

It seems that more than 50 werewolves seem to be in large numbers, which is already the same as their team.

But in fact, it does not pose much threat.

Just in the tent under the dunes, the 20 cavalrymen from the Duke of Lions who were still resting could easily kill all of these gnolls, and the losses themselves would not be too great.

It is simply too easy to deal with these primitive humanoid races with well-trained cavalry.

Running down the dune quickly, Kant held his light crossbow and said in a deep voice: "Captain Rowan, we are in trouble. It is best to let everyone come out to prepare for the battle. In a while, more than 50 werewolfs will attack our camp."

"A wereggar?"

Captain Rowan's voice was a little shocked.

At the same time, the 20 cavalrymen in the tent ran out quickly with their weapons, with a serious expression. However, when they swept through the surrounding sand dunes, they did not find any abnormalities.

But Rowan did not question it, but asked Kant: "Master Baron, where are they?"

"It's coming there." Kant pointed to the north of the dune.

"Get on the horse and prepare for the battle."

Luo Wen gritted his teeth, glared at the cavalry behind him, and said sternly: "Damn it, you four of you wiped everyone's boots for a night and searched for a circle, but they didn't even notice so many gnolls."

The four cavalry looked ugly, but did not refute.
