Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 236: The Shadow in the Dust

The underground city was a general term.

It was not an underground city in the literal sense, but in fact, it was more or less the same.

However, Kant looked at the fortress that looked like a castle in front of him and understood that this was the underground city.

There were many arrow towers and the city walls were wide and thick.

This underground city was built in the middle of the karst cave. It was opened up by the mountain. There were holes of all sizes or houses that were specially built in the entire mountain. It was indeed like a city. It could be lived in, but it could also be used to defend against enemies.

A large number of shimmering moss and shimmering mushrooms grew in all directions of the cave.

Even the city walls and arrow towers also had this type of shimmering vegetation.

However, the brightest light did not come from these shimmering moss and shimmering mushrooms. Instead, it came from the top of a tall triangular pyramid-like building inside the dungeon.

“Sun Disc.”

Kant could not help but mutter to himself.

A warrior statue carved with stone was holding up a golden disc.

Even from a distance, he could still see the fine lines carved on the disc. It was mysterious and mysterious. As the surrounding shimmering light shone, it also released its own Golden Light.

The surrounding Swadian man-at-arms were also staring blankly at the underground city in front of them.

They held their lance tightly in their hands.

At the end of the ancient passage, there was actually a city built in a huge karst cave. It was an underground city built with the entire mountain and karst cave. It was a military fortress, and their eyes were filled with shock.

This was beyond common sense, and the people from the continent of Caradia could not imagine it.

In fact, even the mage apprentices were extremely surprised.

They had never seen it before.

Although they had heard in books that the kingdoms of the undead, demons, and dark elves outside the Emfath Empire had the habit of building underground tombs with complicated environments or hidden cities, they did not expect that in this miracle land, in an unfamiliar world, humans had actually built such a large-scale underground city.

One had to know that the physical qualities of humans were clearly incomparable to demons and dark elves. Although they were slightly stronger than the undead, they were far inferior when it came to the undead who did not sleep, eat, or drink. They could work all the time.

“It’s really a miracle.”

Everyone’s hearts were filled with shock towards this underground city.

Kant’s heart was equally shocked.

When it came to the size of this underground city, it was almost beyond his understanding.

At the foot of the mountain outside the Senwaya Range, at the ruins of the temple inside the mountain, in terms of the size of this underground city, it was equivalent to the difference between the Glorious Palace and the chain hotel.

There was no comparison at all!

This was a karst cave that occupied at least tens of thousands of acres.

And a well-built underground city that even had buildings inside the walls of the karst cave!

How could there be any comparison.

“AO –”

However, just as everyone was immersed in their shock, a long howl suddenly came from the underground city. The sound was mournful and brutal, as if it was a demon from the deepest part of Hell, venting all the evil in the world.

“Awooooo –”

The long howl suddenly appeared one after another.

It was not a simple howl of a wolf, there were also howls formed by various beast howls.

It was the enemy!

The howl of a demonized creature!

Kant’s expression was grim. He could also hear the howl this time. It was different from the howls of the demonized creatures from before. It seemed to have become...much more brutal.

“Prepare for battle!”

Kant pulled out the slender knight’s sword from the scabbard on his waist.

Behind him, the Swadian man-at-arms also regrouped with their lance in hand.

They did not need Kant’s orders.

Having been on the battlefield for a long time, they quickly reacted and slowly moved forward, leaving the area of the ancient passage. They quickly entered the cave outside the passage and faced the howling underground city formation.

The torches had been thrown away, and the shimmering moss and fluorescent mushrooms in the cave shone like the moonlight.

This cave was enough to see.

The heavy cavalry held their shields and spears, forming a dense formation shoulder to shoulder, forming the heavy cavalry’s charge formation.

Kant was at the center of the front.

The mage apprentices who were lacking in close combat skills were at the back of the heavy cavalry’s formation. They carefully held their magic staffs and lightly kicked the abdomen of the traveling horse beneath them, adjusting their positions so that they would not engage in fierce close combat during the next charge, they would be affected by the enemy’s attacks.

However, looking at the dense heavy cavalry formation in front of them, 188 heavy cavalry soldiers lined up in three layers. Even if there were enemies that were close to them, they would still be a puddle of mud under the horses’ hooves.

Kant’s expression was very calm.

He already understood that the completion of the special quest and the temporary side quest was in this dungeon.

This... seemingly glorious, but in fact, decaying buried city.

That’s right, it was decaying.

Or it could be said that this buried city was similar to the ruins from before, similar to the status of the ruins. Even if the buildings were complete, there were still complete city walls, arrow towers, tower gates, and so on.

It still could not conceal the essence of decaying.

If one looked carefully.

One would be able to see the cracks on the city walls and tower, as well as the arrow towers that were somewhat collapsed at the top!

It was obvious that this was a building from the era of the gods. After thousands of years of destruction, it was still intact here. Perhaps it was because of the material of the building itself, or perhaps it was because it was protected by a mysterious force!

Kant raised his head and looked at the stone statue at the top of the underground city.

It was still a stone statue of a warrior.

He raised his hands high and held up the Sun Disk.

Kant even discovered that at the top of the disk, there seemed to be a corresponding hole in the stone wall. A tiny ray of sunlight shone through the hole and imprinted itself on the Golden Disk, emitting a faint golden light, it carried the power of the sun god and the mysterious feeling from the mythological era.

Kant was not surprised by this. Even the buildings on the top of the mountain, which had been built for thousands of years, were maintained well. It was impossible without the protection of the mysterious power.

“Let me see the secret of this underground city.”

Taking a deep breath, Kant felt a chill in his organs from his nose to his chest.

The temperature in the cave was still cold.

A golden lion with a red bottom was floating in the air.

The strange item [ intimidation of the enemy ] had been activated, and all the heavy cavalry looked more and more seriously, with the flag in the hands of the cavalry beside Kant, everyone understood that they had to fight with all their might.

Not only that.

Kant’s left hand was also placed on the horn.

It was the strange item [ commanding power ] !

Facing this unknown underground city, Kant did not plan to hide his strength like he did in the ancient passageway. He planned to use his full strength and his strongest charge to directly deal with any enemies that dared to appear in front of him, right in front of the underground city, on the spacious and flat stone square!

That’s right, the ground of the karst cave outside the ancient passageway was paved with stone slabs all the way to the entire underground city walls and city gates. It was a flat square that spanned over a thousand acres. It was the perfect terrain for the heavy cavalry to charge!

“Hong –”

A loud crashing sound suddenly appeared.

It was dull and long, as if the city walls were being heavily rammed by siege cones.

However, the faces of the heavy cavalry of Swadia changed drastically.

They all spurred their horses forward, their brows filled with disbelief. This was because they had been on the battlefield for a long time, so of course they could hear the level up. There was really the sound of siege weapons like a siege hammer ramming against the city wall.

However, there was only one city wall.

And this city wall was occupied by a strange enemy!

“My Lord.”

The captain of the heavy cavalry who held the flag turned his head to Kant and said solemnly, “The defending army inside the city wall did not go up the city wall, nor did they send troops to intercept them. Instead, they attacked the city wall themselves. The situation now is very strange!”

“It is indeed strange,” Kant said calmly.

He also noticed this.

The city wall in front of him had already started to crack due to the passage of time.

As the sound of the collision continued, the cracks started to open up.

“Rumble, rumble, rumble...”

Just as Kant’s voice fell, the entire wall collapsed with a rumble, even dragging down the arrow tower at the side. Neat rocks collapsed, and a large amount of dust was sent flying by the air blast!

However, the eyes of the heavy cavalry beside Kant narrowed.

Kant also tightened his grip on the Knight’s sword in his hand.

In the middle of the dust that slowly formed into a smoke screen, the moss and fluorescent mushrooms on the growing city wall shone on a nearly six-meter-tall body that was indistinctly visible, however, in the eyes of Kant and the others, they could clearly distinguish that it was a humanoid creature!

“Howl –”

A crazy Howl appeared, but it was still the same brutal, crazy, and a little weak.

The dust was torn apart by the black shadows.

Demonized wolves, demonized black bears, and demonized lions appeared in an instant. With low howls, they charged towards the hole in the city wall, their eyes bloodshot as they charged out in a frenzy.

There were so many of them that it could be seen that there were more than 500!

“Charge!”

Kant did not need to say much, as the captain of the cavalry had already given the order.

The armored warhorse of the many cavalrymen stepped forward.

The chain mail made a slight sound, and the sound of clattering could be heard. However, it was immediately covered by the heavy pounding of the horseshoes on the stone slab, forming a flood-like roar, as well as the shouts of the Swadian heavy calvary that erupted from the battle!

“For Swadia!”

“For Lord Kant!”

Fearless shouts appeared in the sound waves.

The red-bottomed Golden Lion instantly fluttered, and the entire flag fluttered as if it was in the midst of a violent wind.

And a long bugle call immediately sounded.

“Awoooo –”

Kant blew his [ commanding power ] , and the eyes of the heavy cavalry who were enveloped by the bugle call were filled with fanaticism. The fanaticism towards war stimulated their fearless hearts, and they clenched the lance in their hands, they shouted even more crazily as they charged towards the demonized creatures that were charging towards them!

Before they intersected with each other, golden light flashed. The wizard apprentices at the back also raised their staffs. The status spell [ sharp golden blade ] from the Ainfas Empire instantly attached to the lance and Longsword!

The heavy cavalry of Swadian heavy calvary and the tide of demonized creatures were like two torrents colliding!
