Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 235. The Underground Fortress at the End

The battle ended so easily.

A round of charge is resolved.

Compared with the Ravenston Ranger and the Rhodok sniper crossbowmen, these heavy cavalrymen's fighting methods are obviously more straightforward, and they are also more direct in the battlefield situation.

So they became victors.

Magical creatures are several times stronger than beasts.

But in the eyes of mankind, it is only a terrifying nightmare to recruit peasants and armed militias.

Ordinary knights with a little training of infantry can wipe out the demonized creatures that invade the territory. It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of these demonized creatures is not much threat compared with the real combat troops.

What's more, Kant's heavy cavalry directly crushed it in such a small space.

Or a heavy cavalry unit composed entirely of knight-level strength.

These demonized creatures are like innocent children. They couldn't even cause serious injuries when they counterattacked. They were stabbed through their bodies with lances, their spines were cut off with sharp swords, and then they were trampled into a pile of mud by the heavy horse hooves.

For Kant, the battle is almost freehand.

He is the victor in the ancient passage.

Perhaps the only thing that can bring threats and troubles to Kant and his troops is the ferocious demonized creatures that he has encountered on the top of the mountain. This is the enemy that Kant is worried about.

Having mastered extraordinary power, even demonized creatures are quite terrifying.

It is a qualitative improvement in combat effectiveness!

As for these ordinary demonized creatures, Kant stretched out his hand expressionlessly, took out a linen cloth in his arms and carefully wiped it clean.

There was deep disdain in his eyes.

He didn't pay attention at all.

In this battle, let alone his most commonly used [Deterrence of the Enemy] was not used.

Even as a novelty, the [Power of Command], this horn that can increase morale, is still attached to his waist.

Kant's 2 Great War Wonders,

Only use it when facing tough opponents.

These demonized creatures couldn't even stop the heavy cavalry charge with the state spell [Sharp Golden Blade] attached. Kant didn't need to do this at all, and he also used these two strange objects for auxiliary combat.

Although simple to use, it was unnecessary for Kant.

Thinking of the spellcasting of the mage and apprentices, Kant turned to look at them and praised him without hesitation: "You did a good job, I need you to maintain this state."

"Yes, Lord Lord!"

The mage apprentices responded immediately, and everyone's face was even more joyful.

Kant, who belongs to the supreme lord, praised them more than the king of the Ainfus Empire, and made them excited. This is joy from the soul level.

Kant's face returned to calm, and he reminded them: "Peace your heart, we should go."

"Understood." The mage apprentices nodded.

However, when the battle was over, the Swadian heavy cavalry, who were arrogant and arrogant, turned a lot more friendly towards these mage apprentices. After all, it was in the battle just now. , they can exert the destructive power of charging beyond the level, which has a lot to do with the magic of these apprentices.

It can make their charge more destructive, the spear is sharper, it is easier to pierce the enemy's body, and the slash of the long sword is stronger, which simply gives them more living armor-piercing attributes.

If the encounter is not a demonized creature, but an enemy, this is the guarantee of breaking armor!

Spells that make weapons sharper are really popular with them.

This is one of the reasons why Kant considered bringing these mage apprentices.

With the ability to perceive the distance and number of enemies, and the passive ability to cast spells to increase troops, these mage apprentices are well-deserved elite troops of the Ainfath Empire.

Although it is still young, it has already played an important role.

"let's go!"

Kant lightly knocked on the horse's belly and continued to lead the team forward.

The rumbling iron cavalry continued to move forward.

However, continuing to go deep into the ancient passage, the number of demonized creatures encountered has also decreased a lot.

In the middle of the fire, I baked the clothes that were already cold, and at the same time, boiled hot water, and baked and heated the prepared food, which was barely enough to survive.

They have entered the ancient passage for nearly 10 hours.

Nearly half a day.

However, in Kant and the others, they have not yet found the end of this road.

Just aimlessly moving straight ahead.

There is still the 20-meter-wide underground river next to it, as well as the samurai relief on the stone wall next to it. Except for the traces excavated on the top of the head, there is almost no difference from the entrance road.

Exactly the same.

Kant was dignified, and the movement of riding the horse slowly decreased.

Holding a torch in one hand.

He looked at the eternal darkness in front of him, his face a little depressed.

The 10 hours of riding a horse is enough to go from the sentry oasis to the desert station nearly half the distance, but there is still no change in this road, so he is a little uncertain in his heart, whether he has encountered some kind of ancient people. A little trick in the age of gods, lost your way, similar to the magic of ghosts hitting the wall?

Otherwise, he has already advanced such a long distance, how could he still not encounter the slightest building, even if it is a huge cave, or there are traces of collapse, let him know that he is not spinning in place!

Of the 30 torches I brought, there are 20 left.

In the entire heavy cavalry unit, only the torch in his hand was used as a guide, and the last one was used as a finishing touch.

Otherwise, without the light, they will be completely lost in this darkness.

The mage apprentices followed closely behind Kant.

Seeing that his lord slowed down the pace of his horse, he tightly wrapped the linen mage robe on his body, and shivered a little on the horse's back. He couldn't even care about his numb legs, and asked with a trembling voice : "Big... lord, what's wrong... we... we didn't sense that there was an enemy ahead."

"It's not the reason." Seeing that they were so miserably frozen, Kant couldn't help frowning in a deep voice: "I'm wondering if we should go back, after all, we've gone too far along this road."

"Go back... go back?" The mage apprentices looked at each other tremblingly.

Both saw the joy and surprise in each other's eyes.

Not to mention them, even the Swadian heavy cavalry in the back, there is an extra layer of frost between the eyebrows under the helmet, the chain armor all over the body is extremely cold, and they can't bear the cold of the ground. .

They all want to go back.

But he never dared to express the idea.

Now Kant proposed, all of them nodded subconsciously, with a bit of helplessness on their faces. There was a kind of helplessness from the heart about this ancient road that did not know where to go.

The environment here is so bad that it is even colder than the night in the Naron Desert.

"If that's the case, then go back."

Kant rubbed his eyebrows.

He has been deep into the ancient passage for so long, and he is not mentally prepared.

Likewise, supplies are not sufficient.

It is better to go back directly, prepare more sufficient materials, and explore again.

But just when Kant was about to turn the horse's head, the leading mage apprentice swallowed and said with a trembling voice, "No...but...Lord Lord, it's just a long way in front of us...We feel that it seems like There's...there's a very...very evil being..."

"Very evil." Kant frowned.

"Yes... yes." The apprentice mage was so frozen that he couldn't even say more.

But forcibly closed his eyes, and after a moment of careful perception, he re-reported to Kangdehui: "I can confirm that that very evil existence ... is about a kilometer away ... but ... but it seems that its vitality is very bleak!"

"Dim?" Kant frowned even tighter.

The distance is very close, kilometers away.

It doesn't take more than ten minutes for the horses to approach.

He decided in his heart, and Shen Sheng ordered the apprentices and the heavy cavalry: "All cheer up, light the bonfire, and replenish your physical strength. Let's go and see later. If you don't find what the apprentices said, the vitality has been dimmed. Evil exists, we will return quickly!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded, reluctantly turning over and dismounting, but their movements became stiff. Obviously, the long-term riding and the cold environment made the blood in their legs not smooth.

After walking around and raising a bonfire with firewood and charcoal, the temperature dissipates the chill of the body.

Heat the frosted water bladder by a campfire.

Everyone quickly divided the food, and also fed the fodder and hot water to the war horses who accompanied them. Finally, they were fully prepared and recovered a little bit of vitality before they got on the horses again. With the drive of Kant, they quickly moved forward with torches. They rushed over a thousand meters away, all intending to make a quick decision, and immediately retreated if they did not find the situation.

However, their thinking was obviously miscalculated. Even Kant didn't expect that as the distance approached, a white light appeared in front of the eyes. Although it was faint, it still carried a perceptible light!

This made them, who had already adapted to the darkness, immediately noticed it suddenly.

If there is light, it means there is the outside world!

They are finally about to leave this ancient passage and find a new exit.

"and many more!"

But Kant directly raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop moving forward.

The violent hoof vibration suddenly disappeared.

Everyone reined in their horses and stopped moving forward, looking at the little light ahead with solemn expressions on their faces.

It is an exit 5 meters high and 10 meters wide. It can be called one with this ancient passage, but the so-called light is not real sunlight, but tiny glowing moss and mushrooms growing in the passage. In the huge cave at the end, it is densely packed, forming a faint light, similar to the shimmer of the moon shining at night.

In the dim light, a magnificent fortress was standing there. Kant could still clearly see that the fortress was built in the karst cave and rock wall, with arrow towers and towers readily available. .

It is a fortress no less than the castle of "Drehem"!

"what's going on."

Kant narrowed his eyes slightly.

He gradually got used to the faint vision in the distance, with a bit of solemnity on his face: "I thought it was enough to be surprised that a demon appeared, but I didn't expect that there are even dungeons now?"

That's right, the fortress ahead.

It is built on the ground, completely relying on the natural space of the cave and the mountain...

Dungeon!
