Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 654: . Homicide in Saline Land

After Kant returned to Dehreim, he quickly asked Bandak to come and see him.

Until the evening of the same day, the two finally met.

Bandak stepped into the hall and then saluted Kant with condolences: "Lord Kant, welcome you back to Dekhrim."

"I saw the letter you sent me, and I immediately returned. What's wrong, what happened in the recent past?" Kant nodded and asked, after motioning Bandak to sit down.

Bandak immediately frowned upon hearing Kant's question, and a bit of bitterness appeared on his rough face.

"The workers we sent to pick up salt in the saline-alkali land were attacked. From the first incident to now, seven or eight workers have been killed." Bandak said heavily.

Attacks of this scale have occurred in the country, and panic has spread into Dehrim.

He was too busy for this matter.

"Huh?" Kant's heart was really hit, and Dehrim, as a constantly expanding new force, was even detonated in the country: "Did you find out what the result was? Is it a personal force, or say ..."

Bandak replied: "According to the cause of death of the workers found, this should be done by the undead tribe lurking in the border desert."

Kant heard that his face became heavier than before.

"you sure?"

In Kant's impression, the undead has a relatively high attack power. But they themselves do not have much self-consciousness.

Now he suddenly chooses to attack Dekhrim.

This is indeed doubtful.

"Well, in my experience with the undead, the injuries on the workers are indeed caused by the number of undead attacks. The medical soldier's test results are also the same as I thought." Bandak replied.

In fact, he has firmly determined that this attack was planned by the undead.

"When did the last attack happen?" Kant asked for a moment in contemplation.

"Early morning," Bandak said.

"Well. Then you will take a team of soldiers to ambush in the sand dunes near the saline land tonight. See who the **** is." Kant ordered.

"Leadership." Bandak replied, he had wanted to do this before. It was just that Kant had not returned to the main city. The transfer of the army required the consent of the lord.

"You go to pick people in elite troops. You have seen undead soldiers on the battlefield before. The risk factor for this operation is still quite high," Kant explained.

Bandak nodded and said goodbye to retreat.

The sky outside was slightly gloomy, and the dark clouds covered the sun.

A neatly dressed army of thirty men set out from the main city and walked to the suburbs where the saline land was located.

Bandak had been there many times before, so the route was well-understood.

When it was almost time to reach his destination, Bandak ordered the whole team to immediately seek cover and ambush.

When the soldiers in armor were hiding in the sand dunes, the soldiers dressed as a few workers continued to go forward frankly.

It is summer now, and a layer of white frost has formed on the bark of the wood salt tree in the saline land.

Bandak put on the equipment of the salt miners and took out his knife to scrape the salt from the tree layer by layer and store it in a small bucket.

Others imitated Bandak's movements and were busy in the saline land.

Occasionally whisper to each other.

Until the moon climbed to the night sky, there was no vision around.

A subordinate walked inadvertently to Bandak and said, "Commander, have the guys withdrawn yet? It hasn't appeared for so long."

"It's still early, don't let go. Work quickly." Bandak glanced around and whispered.

The soldier went to another tree without a word, and continued to collect salt.

"I don't know when to squat. This wild country. I was called out from the army today without dinner." A soldier complained to the people around him.

"Looking at you is just getting used to it. You haven't been out of the main city. It's much harder to fight outside." The soldier who heard this replied.

"Anyway, I'm not seeing the shadows of the undead now. I'm running out of energy when I'm collecting salt."

The relationship between the two seems to be quite close, you talked to me one by one.

"Don't talk nonsense, go to the sand jujube tree over there to pick up a few dates. I heard that many workers usually eat this. You can temporarily fill your stomach."

The soldier who first spoke was overjoyed: "Thank you lord!!"

"You still thank me." Another soldier said helplessly.

But before the other party heard what he had said, he went to the jujube forest in the west to pick dates.

After a while, the soldiers who were working on the spot turned to look at the woods to the west. I wondered in my heart: "How much is this kid going to pick? Why didn't he come back?"

Thinking about it, I often glanced in that direction.

After a while, he saw the familiar figure running out of the jujube forest.

"Mother!!!" A scream screamed everyone.

Bandak ran quickly to the place where the voice came.

"What's wrong?" Bandak asked.

The soldier's finger pointed to the west, his face pale and said: "That's the undead."

Bandak's eyes also looked over there.

Seeing three or five groups of undead beings chasing a soldier disguised as a worker in the desert.

"The target appears! Prepare to fight!" Bandak commanded.

The sound spread outside the saline land, and the Swadian soldiers hiding behind the dunes also rectified their equipment.

The muscles of the whole body tensed into the state of battle.

As soon as the undead entered their field of vision, they immediately attacked and beheaded them.

Bandak raised his sword and straddled the horse.

Cema ran to the group of undead, attracting their attention.

The number of undead is not much ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ is almost the same as that of ordinary undead fighters. It does not seem to be equipped with any weapons. But the time is now the most active time for them.

The amazing bounce and bite ability alone is enough to defeat human forces.

It is now three hours before dawn. It is most important to maintain your physical strength within these three hours and not allow this group of undead to escape easily.

"Mount!" Bandak reached out to rescue and said to the soldiers running desperately.

The soldier looked at him tremblingly, squeezed Bandak's right hand, and jumped on horseback.

"Tighten!!"

The undead behind were still chasing them.

Bandak increased his speed and fled towards the desert.

The soldiers who had been ambushing in the saline-alkali ground had taken off the workers' coats, revealing shiny armor. Carrying the newly completed shield, he silently walked out of the saline land and merged with his companions hidden behind the dunes.
