Lord of the Oasis

Manid has some insight into interrogation.

As a genius born in a business family, he understands the art of multiple languages, such as intimidation, offering favors and offering benefits, all of which are the most basic business negotiation routines.

To change the way of thinking, to change the way, is actually the technique of interrogation.

Manid took his leave and withdrew.

Interrogations were quickly arranged with the soldiers responsible for intimidation.

That night.

The results of the interrogation were already recorded on the parchment and presented to Kant in writing.

Just the result was a little unexpected.

"Huh." Kant had a mocking smile on his face.

Taking the information obtained by interrogating the prisoners as an example, for this operation, the Greymane Kingdom directly recruited all the elites except the necessary defense forces of the country, and almost all the controlling forces outside the Mannheim coast were recalled for the purpose of aggression. The human kingdoms of the Naron Desert, the southern part of the desert has been transformed into a colony of the Kingdom of Greymane.

The idea of ​​breaking the boat is a very bold strategy.

There is a kind of momentum of failure or success.

In Kant's view.

These high-level gnolls have never considered that if their strategic actions to colonize the human countries fail, and the forces on the coast of Mannheim will shrink and wilt, they will be unable to advance forward, unable to retreat, and will be surrounded by life and death.

The consequences could be disastrous.

"They think the human kingdom is weak."

Manid noticed Kant's thoughts and shrugged and reported: "In their opinion, one gnoll infantry can easily deal with 3 human infantry, and if the gnoll starts to fight, it can handle 5 human infantry."

Kant raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's true."

Fatis also declined to comment, but tacitly tacitly agreed that the sentence was correct.

This is the case.

The height of the jackal can generally reach 2.3 meters, and the high-level jackal with sufficient nutrition can often reach 300 pounds, and all of them are tall and heavy.

And it's full of solid muscles.

The speed, strength, and load-bearing capacity brought by this body are much stronger than the infantry of human nations.

Not to mention a duel between individuals.

Even if it is a collision between legions and legions, the human legion will be at a disadvantage.

But Kant picked up the parchment again.

Looking at the above records, regarding the troop composition and battle sequence of the Greymane Kingdom, the tone is a bit strange: "However, these gnolls, don't you think that the human kingdom, like them, is composed of infantry? "

Manid nodded: "As you can see, it is indeed the case."

"Hmph." Fatis snorted coldly and frowned, "This is like a joke."

"No way." Manid shrugged, his tone helpless: "When I heard the intelligence that the prisoners said, I also didn't believe it. After I obtained evidence from the other prisoners, I found out that it was true."

"Only infantry." Kant tapped his fingers on the table and couldn't help laughing.

Because the Na Lun desert acts as a moat.

There was no communication at all between the coast of Mannheim, which was connected to the Sea of ​​Stars, and the Principality of Lions, which was connected to the interior.

Neither side knew the other.

Even more unclear about the opponent's military level and structure of arms.

But now it seems that the Kingdom of Graymane on the coast of Mannheim, a country composed of high-level gnolls, is too outrageous. The battle is mainly based on heavy infantry, and even the long-range troops are recruited mercenaries or lizardmen. He served as a prisoner of the army, and was in the attitude of an auxiliary soldier, and also served as sappers, transport soldiers and other miscellaneous arms in wartime.

"They have never seen cavalry, and there are no horses on the coast of Mannheim."

Manid seemed to think of something, and then added: "The only similar unit is the Moon Deer Cavalry of the Elf tribe. They use bows and arrows to fight at a distance, and their fighting ability is quite weak at close range."

"The cavalry archer." Kant raised his eyebrows with a thoughtful expression.

On the prairie southeast of Calradia, the elite of the Kujit are the senior kujit cavalry archers.

The strongest archer in the entire continent.

Involved in the tactics of the plain area, these cavalry archers can even compete with the Swadian knights and the Mamluks, the two strongest 5th-level heavy cavalry, relying on their ultra-high mobility and the ability to gallop between the horses. A precise and deadly feathered arrow.

For guerrilla archers, they never fought head-to-head.

The Swadians, on the other hand, prefer to charge for a decisive victory.

Fattis opened his mouth and expressed his puzzlement: "I don't understand, how can the Greymane Kingdom be so stupid that it wants to colonize the human kingdoms with only heavy infantry, at least I understand that the Principality of Lions is also a country dominated by heavy cavalry. , the power of fighting on the plains is simply not comparable to these 3,000 heavy infantry."

"The information is not equal." Manid frowned slightly and gave this conclusion.

Kant nodded: "Maybe so."

Only this conclusion can explain the underestimation and arrogance of Greymane Kingdom.

Since heavy cavalry had never fought on the coast of Mannheim, they would never have imagined that humans would ride on warhorses, fully armored, and charge them with spears.

Not to mention, the heavy cavalry in the charge state can't even stop the spear formation.

Not to mention history.

Even Calradia has proven this.

as long as the terrain is suitable.

The charging heavy cavalry, even the 4th-level Swadian heavy cavalry, can overwhelm the strongest 6th-level infantry, the infantry formation formed by the Nord royal guards, knocking these infantry butchers to the ground. , easily trampled by horseshoes.

Although it is a desert area, the terrain is still relatively flat.

Also suitable for cavalry combat.

"This time, we really have to prepare."

Kant knocked on the table and said solemnly to the two: "We cannot underestimate the enemy."

"Understood." The two responded in deep voices.

They also understand that they do not have the capital to underestimate the enemy.

It belongs to the "Drehem" fortress who is fighting alone, and can only rely on himself.

No reinforcements.

There is no backup force.

Even if you fail once, you will fall into the abyss.

Compared with the Greymane Kingdom, which has a very strong heritage, they do not have any capital to underestimate the enemy.

Comes late at night.

The guards all began to change their guards for the night.

The conversation between Kant and the two ended. Looking at the moon outside the window, it was in the middle of the sky, and the bright star river was the source of the countless bright and dim lights at night, which sprinkled the gentle tulle of this desert.

A new week has come.

sleep till dawn.

Kant got up, there wasn't much government to deal with this week.

There are no surprises and surprises.

The soldiers were busy, disposing of the corpses left on the battlefield yesterday, burying them or throwing them directly to those low-level gnolls as food to feed this group of captives. Anyway, this group of uncivilized races did not mind eating their own corpses.

In other words, some food is already good.
