Lord of the Oasis

The undead are Kant’s most immediate threat.

At the very least, they had occupied the stone pass and displayed 10 royal knights, which was enough to intimidate the evil-minded noble. If they wanted to launch a threat of force, they had to at least get rid of these grand knights!

Well, if a well-trained knight is the foundation and backbone of an army…

Then the grand knight, the world’s high-end combat power, is the measure of the real combat power of this army benchmark!

An army without an overseeing knight is nothing more than a garbage cannon fodder army made up of peasant and bandits. It has no effect on the real battlefield, only playing a small role in filling in the numbers, strengthening the momentum, and being the scapegoat in front, it was simply impossible to occupy them.

Such troops would not even appear in real battles. As long as a noble had a bit of status, they would personally nurture knights and their attendant to form an elite squad.

Peasant and armed militia would only be used in the barren northern county territory, the poorest stone pass.

There was no such troop class in the other noble’s estate.

At most, in order to ensure that certain areas, such as farms and villages, would not be attacked, the peasant soldiers would be armed to defend themselves against the enemy and delay the bandits’attack, when the knight troops led by the noble families arrived, they would be the real combat troops, such as lance soldiers, archers, and cavalry.

The soldiers who wore double-layer iron-scale armor, after years of training, were naturally at the level of a profession soldier.

Even if there were no soldiers trained by the noble.

The noble would also hire those mercenaries as followers. At the very least, the mercenaries would be able to do something with their money. It was better than these trash-like peasant soldiers, who would run away after two or three people died in a tragic battle.

Before they were certain of Kant’s true strength, no one would gather troops with great fanfare.

Moreover.

Even the Grand Duke of Lion, Cameron, who was still in his prime in the Lion Castle, had not made any statement on this matter. How could these nominal vassals make such an obvious decision?

No matter how dirty the noble families were behind the scenes, they still had to at least have some face.

For example, respect.

Kant was of royal blood after all.

He was the second son of Duke Cameron.

Although they could send people to assassinate him in the dark, but it didn’t mean that they could gather the troops in the territory on the surface and directly charge into the stone pass to launch an attack on the estate.

Just as everyone was stalling or probing in the dark, Kant was undoubtedly given time to buffer.

Of course, these noble families did not know about the strange movements in the depths of the Nahrin desert.

They did not expect that Kant, who wished to die immediately, was now blocking the undead army for them and was trying his best to stop the spread of the curtain of death.

This made Kant somewhat depressed.

However, he wasn’t’ really blocking it.

Oasis Lookout was located on the route of the expansion of the curtain of death, and it happened to be blocking the way to the Dukedom of Leo.

In order to protect his own estate, Kant naturally had to fight back. He had to do everything in his power to block the mysterious and terrifying curtain of death in the depths of the Nahrin Desert!

Just like the current sun disc.

They arrived at the second floor of the posthouse.

In the room, the sun disc, which had already been enlarged, was wrapped in a linen cover. It was tightly covered to prevent it from being discovered by trade caravans or spies outside.

This was a strange object, an artifact-like item. Kant naturally could not let outsiders know about.

“My Lord.”

The mages reported, “The sun disc can fuse with other strange objects of the same type at any time to strengthen itself.”

Kant nodded, “Very good.”

The mages continued to report, “According to our research, perhaps when a certain number of strange objects of the same type fuse together, it will produce a qualitative change, increasing new abilities and powers. Of course, this is impossible to predict. We can only let this sun disc fuse first so that we can continue our in-depth research.”

“Mm, no matter what, it will be very good if we can solve the death curtain of the undead.”

Kant’s expression was calm.

This time, he brought back seven sun discs.

When they returned to the Oasis Lookout, there was still one sun disc waiting to be absorbed.

A total of ten strange objects of the same type fuse together, and perhaps the qualitative change that the mages spoke of would appear. Even if the qualitative change was not possible, Kant could still afford to wait. At most, he could continue to search for this sun disc in the Nahrin desert and the Senwaya range.

After all, he now understood that the Nahrin Desert was indeed buried with the remains of the ancient era of the gods!

The secrets of the Lost City were about to be unraveled by him!

“Lord, are we going to fuse now?”

The mages asked.

Kant frowned slightly. “No.”

He rejected this proposal.

Coming to the window of the room, he could just see that not far away, there was a temporary camp made up of hundreds of tents set up by the trade caravan. Many people were looking over here, as if they were gathering intelligence.

When they saw Kant looking at them, they all pulled their heads back like quails.

“HMPH.”

Kant snorted, “There are too many people and too many eyes. Let’s talk about it when we get back.”

“Yes!” The mages nodded.

When they went back, they naturally meant to return to the Oasis Lookout. That was their real home.

The central posthouse that they were at now was just a posthouse. Even if there were many cavalry and trade caravans gathered, which was equivalent to a small village, in reality, it was just a temporary trade point because of the table salt trade.

If there was no trade, the posthouse would return to its former tranquility.

“Right.”

Kant retracted his gaze and turned his head to ask, “Where are the two corpses?”

“Uh…” the mages looked at each other, with some embarrassment, they said, “It’s hard to believe. These two corpses are very compatible with the magic system of the Enfath Empire, just like silver cups and malt liquor. When we were conducting magic experiments, we opened the portal from the Enfath Empire and entered the Grand Magic Tower in the Empire’s capital.”

“Huh?” Kant frowned slightly and asked in surprise, “The Grand Magic Tower of the Enfath Empire?”

“Yes, we overestimated our own magic level.”

The mages were even more embarrassed. “We wanted to summon them in reverse. We wanted to activate the remaining, almost pure elements in these two corpses, but we made some mistakes. We had no choice but to use the void gate to get the help of the grand mages in the Grand Magic Tower to summon them over to avoid losing them in the void.”

“I understand.” Kant nodded. His face was calm, without the slightest hint of anger.

“Please forgive us for our mistakes.”

The mages were even more embarrassed.

This was not their first mistake. In fact, it was the seven mages who had leveled up from the mage apprentices. The sandstorm caused by the Oasis Lookout back then was one of the reasons for the current crisis.

Or rather, it was the main reason!

However, Kant still did not get angry. To be honest, he was already somewhat used to it.

“Be careful next time.”

Looking at the embarrassed mages, Kant said calmly, “Then, what will happen to the two corpses that entered the Grand Magic Tower of the Enfath Empire? I don’t think it will cause too many changes.”

The mages quickly said, “It won’t. It will be studied by our mentor, the existence of a great mage.”

“That’s good.” Kant nodded.

A great mage was a troop class that was level up to level 3 after a mage leveled up.

It was an extremely profound knowledge of magic. It was an existence that had reached the pinnacle of human magic power. It could be said to be a ferocious beast in human form. As long as they were given a certain amount of time to cast their spells, even a titan or a dragon would have to dodge.

After all, they had studied magic for their entire lives and it was a war spell. Its lethality was extremely shocking!

“Let’s go.”

Kant did not waste any time.

Looking at the slightly slanted sunlight outside the window, it was already afternoon.

He instructed the mages, “Everyone, get on your horses and follow me.” After a pause, he turned his head and instructed the Lion Knights guarding the door, “The two of you stay behind. When the camel caravan arrives, get those camels to transport this solar disk back.”

“Yes!” The two Lion Knights at the door immediately responded.

The sun disk, which had been transformed by the magic of the Enfath Empire, was already very huge.

Although it could levitate.

It was actually very heavy.

If they wanted to move, they would need ten mages to cast spells to levitate, which was quite strenuous.

If they used regular manpower, they would need to use warhorse or camels to drag it. With the force of levitation, it would be like pulling a maglev train, slowly heading towards the Oasis Lookout. They were still very slow.

Therefore, Kant did not intend to stay here and wait for the sun disc.

“Lord Kant, there will be a camel caravan coming tonight.”

Rolf walked up at this time.

After assigning the patrol task, he walked up to the second floor and happened to hear Kant’s arrangement. He suggested, “Why don’t we wait for the camel caravan to arrive at night, unload the table salt, and rest for the night. When we set off tomorrow at dawn, you can also rest.”

Kant thought for a while and nodded. “Alright, that’s it then.”

“My lord, we’ll communicate with our mentor through the spirit network and the Grand Mage Tower of the Enfath Empire at night. If we discover any secrets, we’ll report immediately.”

The mages also began to make up for their mistakes.

“Mm.” Kant nodded.

Since things had come to this, this was the only way.

Towards these mages, he did not show much anger, nor did he have any intention of getting angry out of humiliation.

Those were only two corpses. To him, their value was not even as much as that coffin made of gold. Even if he didn’t research anything, it did not matter. Of course, it would be even better if he could research it.

He still had a positive attitude towards great mages.

Those old mages who had been immersed in magic for almost seventy to eighty years were definitely experienced.

At the very least, they were much more reliable than apprentices and mages.

They were also the backbone of the Enfath Empire. In Kant’s troop class, they could not even directly level up. They could only unlock it through the world of warwinds.

At least even if the mages had enough experience points, they would not be able to level up.

Perhaps it was because of the rules.

However, Kant still had some expectations for the archmages. If these top-tier mages really entered his command system, then their power on the battlefield would really be like an infantry battalion adding a 155-howitzer-like heavy cannon!
