Jackals are the most common humanoid race in the Naren Desert.
used to form a scale once, from the desert of Nalun over the Sunwaya Mountains. The male principality was fighting with other principalities for a long time and invaded the land on the northern border. It was actually a scourge for nearly three years.
is like a disgusting ulcer, there is a tendency to continue to spread to more central areas.
That's why, after the lion principality ended the war with other principalities, it immediately began to fight against the jackals.
This cleanup lasted a year.
invaded the Principality of the Lion, just like the Jackal tribe who came to heaven, and was soon defeated.
Without excellent weapons and excellent armor, Jackal tribes are simply not opponents of human forces.
On the battlefield, the jackals were strangled easily by the cavalry troops proud of the lion duchy.
It is said that the head of the jackal who was cut off ten years ago filled the sides of the road.
The brutal Qing dynasty has completely evolved into slaughter. From the northern border of the Principality of the Lions to the south of the entire Naron Desert, the main large-scale jackal tribes have almost been slaughtered.
The surviving tribe of jackals also chose to move towards the northern desert in fear.
But there are also scattered jackals.
Even in the Sanvaia Mountains, there are many jackal tribes, because several villages on the northern border of the Principality of the Lions are also attacked by jackals 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 jackal tribes is even greater!
"There is no way to look back."
Kant pursed his chapped lips, and his face also had a determined look.
comes here, then he will build his own village here, with the "Swadia Kingdom" in the system as a golden finger, he is definitely not nothing.
The dunes referred to before were in front, which was the pre-set point for them to camp.
They will set up a tent in the shade of the dunes.
"Boys, all are busy!"
The command of the cavalry is still in the hands of Rowan, and he also arranges himself: "I will go around and search it again. I don’t want to be gnaked by the jackals or beasts after falling asleep!"
Following his orders, the 20 cavalrymen scattered immediately.
However, some people didn't take it seriously. They have been away for 6 days. They haven't seen the jackals yet.
So the search of these cavalrymen was not very careful. After confirming that the dune was indeed abnormal, they all came back. They couldn’t wait to put up a tent and take a good rest.
"Tie the tent."
Kant also arranged for farmers to take action.
There are camping supplies in the three carriages, including a dozen tents, wooden sticks and linen rope for support.
Other farmers are pulling out a long sickle and quickly digging the sand, pile up all the 30 cm of yellow sand on the surface, exposing the cooler sand layer below.
This is a little trick in the desert, lying inside can effectively avoid the scorching heat.
is also a trick for jackals to survive in the desert. It was learned by soldiers of the Principality of the Lions ten years ago, and recorded by scholars in their books after the war.
Before Kant's departure, he specially consulted various books of the Nalun Desert.
Twenty tents were quickly set up at the sandpit, with wooden sticks as the skeleton and long linen ropes to fix all 51 people, including the 27 horses.
"The rest is up to you, Rowan."
Kant was relieved when he stood in front of his own small tent.
Basically finished his work, Rowan also nodded and said: "Observe, Lord Baron."
The next job is to feed the horses. At the same time, the distribution staff starts to make lunch and distribute everyone's drinking water for the next half day. Although it is easy, it can't be sloppy. The calm character of Rowan is the best choice.
The tent blocked the sunlight, and the shallow pit brought the coolness of the earth.
Kant laid the linen cushion underneath, and lay down as a whole, and the trek along the way seemed to dissipate.
"Perhaps to have another light beer at this time, it must be the best."
Kant closed his eyes and could not help sighing: "I just don't know when I can enjoy it in the future."
He is in a state of starting from scratch.
This kind of light beer is basically a luxury product, and it is impossible to enjoy it at all, because no caravan will come to the sentry oasis to provide these supposedly cheap drinks to his Caiyi.
This is Naron Desert.
A barren place where there will be no humans!
shook his head, Kant didn't think much.
But his nose sniffed slightly, the smell of food came from outside the tent.
It was also lunch time, but while Kant was still planning to squint in the shallow pit for a while, the familiar system sound in his ear made him wake up.
At the same time, a dialog box appeared on the retina.
【Ding…Temporary task release】
[Temporary Mission: Jackal Attack]
【Reward: Date palm tree × 20 (full fruit)】
【Introduction: The scent of cooking attracts a group of jackals with sensitive sense of smell. You need to defeat them. 】
Kant stood up directly in the shallow pit.
'S face is a little dignified, because this is a temporary task of the system, and is released from time to time.
But this temporary task of the system just happened to prove one thing.
That is, around the sand dunes where they camped, there was a group of jackals who did not know the specific number lurking, and they had already found them, ready to launch a sneak attack on them!
"Careless."
Kant was also helpless to those cavalrymen, but he had no command, and he could not order them at all.
walked out of the tent quickly, there were more than a dozen farmers preparing lunch outside.
As for the cavalry soldiers sent by the Principality of the Lions to protect them, they were all shrunk in their tents and sand pits, and there were not even those who sent their guards. The precautions were quite lax.
frowned on Kant.
If it is not prompted by the system, it is estimated that those jackals appear near the tent, and they will not be found!
has no announcement.
Kant came to the carriage and found his own suitcase.
Inside is a fixed light crossbow and matching quiver, neatly placed 20 stubby iron crossbow arrows.
The wolf man needs to be discovered by himself, because Kant can’t explain how he knows that the wolf man is going to attack. Although he is a half scholar, he is definitely not a magician with mysterious power.
took three Swadian farmers, and they quickly walked towards the top of the camping dunes.
squatted carefully, Kant glanced around.
"Here, I found them."
A farmer's voice sounded, pointing his voice to the north: "Look, jackals, a lot!"
"Well." Kant nodded.
On the northern part of the sand dunes, more than seven hundred meters from the sand dunes, about 50 jackals wearing ragged clothes are quietly touching them, bowing down, as if hunting.
But this is indeed a hunt. Those ferocious jackals are human in the recipe.
"Go back, wake everyone, and prepare to fight."
Kant squatted back, although his face was dignified, but also a lot easier.
It seems that more than 50 jackals seem to be in large numbers, which is already equal to the number of their teams.
But in fact, it does not constitute a great threat.
In the tent under the sand dunes, those 20 cavalry cavalry who are still resting can easily kill all these jackals, and their losses will never be too great.
Well-trained cavalry to deal with these primitive humanoid races is not too simple.
Running down the dune quickly, Kant said with his light crossbow: "Captain Rowan, we are in trouble. It is best to let everyone come out to fight. In a few moments, there will be more than 50 jackals trying to attack us. The camp is now."
"The Jackal?"
Captain Rowan's voice was a little shocked.
At the same time, the 20 cavalrymen in the tent quickly ran out with their weapons, their faces dignified. However, when they swept the surrounding sand dunes, no abnormalities were found.
But Rowan did not question, but asked Kant: "Master Baron, where are they?"
"There, coming soon." Kant pointed to the north of the dune.
"Get on the horse and prepare to fight."
Rowan gritted his teeth, glared at the cavalry behind him, and said broadly: "Damn, you wiped everyone's boots for four nights and scouted a circle. Even so many jackals were not found."
The four cavalry were ugly, but did not refute.
In fact, this was their mistake, because the four of them were responsible for the investigation of the cavalry in the north.
"Master Baron, I'm sorry for this matter, but we will defeat those Jackals."
Rovin led all the cavalrymen on horses, clenched their spears and swords, and solemnly said to Kant: "We are all out. There may be no way to protect you here. Please be careful."
"Relax." Kant nodded.
These cavalry were not used for defense, they will take the initiative to attack, UU reading www.uukanshu.com to defeat the jackals.
Once the sneak attack is discovered, it has no effect at all.
Looking at the 20 cavalry led by Rowan, Zema quickly bypassed the sand dunes and rushed towards the north. Kant also commanded: "Everyone is ready to fight, come with me."
"Understood!"
30 Swadia farmers responded neatly.
Although their main job is to work in the field, they are not unfamiliar with fighting.
The specially modified sickle head was inserted into a two-meter-long wooden stick to form a long-handled sickle like a war halberd. It can be poked and cut. Although it is awkward, it is still a lethal self-defense weapon.
What's more, 30 Swadia farmers all held a long-handed sickle and arranged them in a two-row square array.
"After this battle, someone should upgrade."
Kant took these Swadian farmers to the top of the dune.
And just over two hundred meters away, 20 cavalry cavalry of the Principality of the Lions were holding long spears over two meters long, screaming at Cema to launch a fearless charge against the more than 50 messy jackals.
"Long live the Principality of the Lions!"
The cavalrymen shouted their slogan, and the horses under the crotch were racing quickly.
Although the gravel restricts their absolute speed, the charge of these cavalry still makes those jackals at a loss.
In the desert of Naron, these tribes of jackals are kings, so they dare to touch the place where the fragrance is scented without fear, although they don't know who the enemy they encountered.
But when they saw the human cavalry rushing down the sand dunes, all the jackals began to flee in panic.
The massacre ten years ago was always in their heads.
