Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 631: Support from Drondheim

The Jackalan King opened Kant’s letter to him.

Kant’s letter was very concise. His condition was that the Jackalan city-state had to hand over 20 tons of crystal ores. If they handed over twenty tons of crystal ores, Kant had to help them deal with the harassment of the undead in the north.

20 tons of crystal ores. This was the number that the Jackalan city-state could reach in two years.

At this moment, the Jackalan King was extremely irascible. He was clearly not interested in Kant’s conditions and was even angry.

At such a critical moment, he actually wanted to get some profit from them.

His deputy, Spock, suddenly entered the palace. He half-kneeled, he said respectfully to the Jackalan King, “Respected Jackalan King, last night, the city-state’s west gate was attacked by undead soldiers. I have already sent out craftsmen to repair it. However, if the undead continues to harass us in the next few days, the west gate will be destroyed. King, what should we do?”

The Jackalan King was already having a headache, but Spock’s report made it even more troublesome. The arrival of the undead soldiers was much faster than he had expected. What should he do?

He looked at the letter again. It was Kant’s letter. His words had come true. What kind of person was this Drondheim’s Lord? Why could he see that their city-state was in danger at a glance?

The Jackalan King was silent for a moment. Then, he said to Spock, “Go to Drondheim and lead 100 warriors to transport 20 tons of crystal ores. Leave immediately. Do not delay!”

Deputy Spock was very obedient. He did not even have any doubts and quietly left.

Two days later, outside the city gate of Drondheim, a team of 100 Jackalans transporting ores was parked.

Deputy Spock, shouted at the soldiers on the city gates, “The 20 tons of ores that your lord needs have all been transported. We Jackalans stay true to our words. I hope that you can abide by our word. Tomorrow, you will lead your troops to the Jackalan city-state. If you break your word, our King will definitely lead us to capture Drondheim!”

Baheshtur was standing at the city gate. The commander of the light cavalry nodded slightly, then, he shouted to the people below, “We understand. Drondheim is a country that believes in faith. Please go back and report to your king. We will definitely abide by our agreement. From tomorrow onwards, we will lead our soldiers to help you solve your problems.”

Baheshtur did not have the right to agree to their words, but Kant had already given him this right last night, so he answered accordingly.

“I hope you will abide by it!” After saying this, the deputy led a hundred Jackalans back the way they came.

Kant was in the Weapons Manufacturing Camp.

He looked at the 20 tons of crystal ore in the large warehouse. He was already feeling relaxed and happy. He did not expect that the Jackalan King would agree to his request so generously.

The craftsmen of Drondheim were all elite craftsmen. They were a young group of craftsmen formed by a small number of mages.

As long as these 20 tons of crystal ores were all implanted into the shield of the Swadian Sergeant, the shield’s defensive ability would reach a terrifying value.

This value was enough for him to use against the undead.

Early the next morning, Kant ordered Captain Swa to lead the Swadian Sergeants to the Jackalan city-state. After all, he still did not want to become enemies with the Jackalan city-state, so he had to abide by his promise.

Soon, Captain Swa led the Swadian Sergeants to the Jackalan city-state.

Although the Jackalan city-state had a superior terrain and was rich in ores all year round, the people were not rich. Compared to Drondheim which was led by Kant, this was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Deputy Spock was responsible for receiving Captain Swa.

They discussed tactics for a moment and soon set up the formation.

The 1,000 Swadian Sergeants were all elite soldiers. Each of them had the strength to fight ten people at once. However, the people they were dealing with were not ordinary soldiers, but undead soldiers with strong magic resistance and defense, this naturally attracted the attention of Captain Swa.

In the evening, the undead soldiers arrived from the north. One mile away from the west gate, Captain Swa led the Swadian Sergeants to take the initiative to attack.

For the undead soldiers, night vision was their advantage. However, it was a disadvantage for the Swadian Sergeants. Therefore, if the sky was slightly brighter, they should take the initiative to attack.

These undead soldiers obviously did not expect the Swadian Sergeants to actually ally with the Jackalan city-state.

Because Kant had just strengthened the power of the shield, the undead soldiers were obviously not their match.

The undead soldiers were not good at attacking, so the shield completely blocked their attack. 1,000 Swadian Sergeants formed a 3-4-5 formation, like a huge iron triangle.

The Jackalan soldiers were mainly at the center of the iron triangle. As long as there was a chance, they would jump out and take the lives of the undead.

The undead were mostly dead creatures without intelligence. They did not care about their dead companions but attacked one after another.

The undead could appear in an endless stream, but they had to leave at dawn. As long as they could survive the dawn and destroy the undead soldiers’ base here, then, they would not come looking for trouble with the Jackalan city-state for a short period. This was also the ultimate goal of Captain Swa’s trip.

After a night of intense battle, the undead soldiers were finally defeated. However, the corresponding Swadian Sergeants also paid a price. A night of battle caused the Swadian Sergeants to lose over a hundred men and the Jackalan soldiers lost 248 men.

But the price was clearly worth it. The war couldn’t be without casualties. For the Swadian Sergeants, this battle was a great victory. They knew the weakness of the undead soldiers, as long as they brought the weakness of the undead soldiers back to Drondheim, then even if there were tens of millions of undead soldiers, Drondheim would have nothing to fear.

Captain Swa led the remaining 869 Swadian Sergeants and began to march north, because last night, the undead soldiers had come from the hills in the north. In other words, the nest of the undead soldiers was very likely in the hills in the north. As long as they explored carefully, even if they could not find the nest of the undead soldiers, it would be a great fortune.

There was a large patch of bamboos on the hills. These bamboos were covered in spots, some red and white, and some black spots even after mutating. The black spots were poisonous bamboos, and there was poison gas left behind by the undead soldiers.
