Chapter 146: The Real Expedition Army

Chapter 146: The Real Expedition Army

Time passed day by day.

However, the defenses of the Oasis Lookout did not relax in the slightest.

40 Sarrandian horsemen, 40 elite desert bandits, and 50 desert bandits were like the stars scattered in the sky. In a scattered formation, they began to patrol the north side of the Nahrin Desert.

A large number of light cavalry soldiers spread out and scouted carefully.

However, after scouting in cone-shaped formation, the 10 desert cavalries didn’t return like the other light cavalries. Instead, they continued to ride forward. They continued to follow the ridge line at the top of the dune and rode towards the depths of the desert.

On their horseback, they prepared enough food and water to last for a week.

They were heading to the natural salt mine.

According to the high-level Jackalan captives, their route was from the depths of the Nahrin Desert, through the white-colored alkali soil, and finally to the salt mines on the south. They indeed arrived at the southern part of the Nahrin Desert.

According to the plan, the area where the salt mine would be set up to support the team.

These 300 Jackalan pirates also used their force to brazenly seize control of the low-level Jackalan tribe.

Then, they led their troops to continue occupying the Oasis Lookout.

In the shortest amount of time, they would establish the outpost base of expedition army and then attack the Stone Pass at the gap of the Senwaya Range’s canyon. They would successfully entered the territory of the human kingdom and plundered it wantonly, creating a colony dominated by Jackalan.

It sounded like a perfect plan.

However, the success of this plan was not up to the expedition army of the Kingdom of Grey Mane.

Kant regarded the Nahrin Desert as his own estate, he would not cooperate with them obediently.

It was not for the human kingdoms.

It was also not for the Dukedom of Leo, the Grand Duke of Leo, Lord Cameron either.

It was only for himself.

Kant would not allow the strategic ideas of the Jackalans to become a reality.

Thus, he sent these 10 desert bandits to the natural salt mines to scout and detect the arrival of the expedition army of the Kingdom of Grey Mane. With the aid of the high mobility of light cavalry, they were able to send the information back to the Oasis Lookout in the shortest time possible, to ensure that Kant and Firentis could make preparations as soon as possible. It could not be like last time, where it became a ridiculous blunder.

Even now.

Kant thought of the five acres of date palm jungle that had been completely cut down, and he felt quite distressed.

But it was too late.

According to the time calculation, in less than ten days, the expedition army of the Kingdom of Grey Mane would arrive at the Nahrin Desert.

At that time, these date palm jungle needed to be cut down.

“It is indeed a pity.”

Kant stood at the top of the council hall and looked at the barren sandy land to the north. The wooden stakes were neatly arranged there, and the once lush forest could still be seen in his mind.

Now, only the wooden stakes and the canal that flowed with the lake could vaguely recall the once lush past.

However, the inside of the “Drondheim” fortress was heavily armed.

100 Vaegirs archers were already stationed in the four city walls and arrow towers. Together with 50 Swadian archers at the window of the city walls’ attic and 20 Ravenstern rangers at the top of the council hall, they formed the current long-range defensive firepower.

They were the first to launch the arrow rain attack to the enemy.

The 50 Swadian footmen in double-layered heavy armor held a thick fan-shaped shield in their hands. They stood in the darkness of the eaves with cold expressions on their faces. Their eyes under the flat helmets filled with coldness.

Around them were the 500 Swadian militiamen who were waiting for orders at all times.

They held hunting crossbows that weren’t very powerful, but they could still look at their enemies indifferently and cause damages.

Their mission was very important.

This was because not far away from the city wall, there were countless captive camps that built from tents. There were close to 2,000 Jackalans living in there.

Although they were all so hungry that they felt dizzy and it was difficult for them to stand up and walk.

But with so many of them, if they really started a riot, it would definitely become a threat.

Even the heavy cavalries not far away were secretly on guard.

Ten Swadian knights who were wearing double layers of heavy chain armor and leading top-class warhorses that were also equipped with heavy full chain armor. They were all Swadian knights who were two meters tall, abnormally tall. They were carrying a knight sword and a knight kite shield on their backs, they were slowly walking on the training ground with heavy lance in their hands.

Behind them were five Mamlukes from the Kingdom of Sarrand.

There were also 87 Swadian heavy cavalries, who were equipped with similar heavy armor including their warhorses.

These were the heavy cavalry units that Kant was currently focusing on.

There were also the light cavalry that had already spread out to patrol.

For example, 40 heavy cavalries should be defined as heavy cavalry soldiers, but they had the advantage over the Sarrandian horseman, who had greater mobility.

There were also 40 elite desert bandits and 50 desert bandits.

“This is my confidence.”

Kant had a smile on his face as he stood at the top of the council hall. He could not help but let out a soft breath.

Power comes from the barrel of a gun.

In this world where the strong preyed on the weak, justice was nothing but the advantage for those who were stronger.

Everything was arranged properly.

At the top of the dune where the natural salt mines were located, ten desert bandits had already set up their tents and were constantly on alert. They were constantly looking into the distance, looking for any enemy troops that might appear.

It was all thanks to the Jackalan’s siege last time.

Most of the low-level Jackalans here had already been captured.

Even if there were a few low-level Jackalan that escaped, they would still be chased down by these ten light cavalries with their scimitars. Even if there were forty or fifty of them, they would still be slaughtered by these light cavalries.

The low-level Jackalans were scared to death by the human cavalry, they did not dared to face them.

In this dangerous silence, the week was about to end.

The night covered the sky.

Under the bright stars and the pure white moonlight, midnight passed by.

This was already a new week, a new month.

At the top of the dune of the natural salt mine, the two desert bandits who were in charge of night duty had just finished feeding their and comrades’ desert horses with food and water. They twisted their stiff waists and chatted casually while looking at the desert to the north.

With a casual glance, they seemed to have noticed a faint shadow on the horizon.

They rubbed their eyes.

The two of them perked up and looked again.

Their originally relaxed expressions instantly stiffened. They turned their heads and entered their own tent with cautiousness. One kick after another, they kicked up their comrades who had just fallen asleep and had yet to fall asleep. “The enemy is here!”

The other eight desert bandits were suddenly startled awake.

All of them crawled up from the sand pits and stood outside their tents, staring into the distance to the north.

In the depths of the night.

A long black snake was stretching out in a crooked manner. Although the night sky and moon were not clear, how could these bandits who had lived in the desert for more than twenty years not be able to tell that this was the snake formation that was commonly used by the troops!

Thinking of the order that Lord Kant had given them before they arrived,

the 10 desert bandits immediately tidied up their tents, got on their horses, and dashed towards the south in a flash.

They wanted to quickly report this important information.

The expedition army of the Kingdom of Grey Mane had arrived!
