Chapter 352: The Heavily Guarded Fortresses

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As the undead cavalry entered the vicinity of the Oasis Lookout, the war began.

Kant’s control over the Oasis Lookout and his hegemony over the Nahrin desert had been directly challenged by the undead that had been transformed from the descendants of the gods since ancient times.

The resurrected undead wanted to return to their former prosperity.

As for Kant in the present world...

He would not hand over the Drondheim Castle that he had painstakingly built after going through trials and tribulations so easily.

In fact, the undead were right. Kant was indeed enjoying the glory left behind by the gods in the past. By borrowing the sun god’s sun disk, he was able to stop the undead from attempting to invade.

The sun disk that was cast in gold was extremely huge.

The golden disk hovered 50 meters above the sky, like a new sun!

Positive energy was gathering.

Sacred elements were filling it.

It was the sun disk that brought an unparalleled prosperity to the land of the Oasis Lookout. It absorbed the heat of the day, dispelled the cold of the night, balanced the temperature of the region, and brought about the prosperity of nature.

Oasis Lookout had already entered martial law mode. Teams of desert bandits were released to scout in all directions.

However, they found nothing.

Under the careful patrol net of the desert bandits, the undead cavalry really retreated.

A trail of horse hooves was clearly scattered in the desert, clearly showing the traces of the skeleton cavalry and the death knights. Moreover, following this trail, one could definitely find their nest.

However, Kant did not agree to the suggestion of going deep into the investigation.

Instead, he requested that the whole castle be cordoned off.

Even when the civilians went out to take care of the date palm tree and farmland in the outside world, they would send out light cavalry to scout around first. After making sure that there were no problems, they would let the civilians leave the city in batches.

Including the table salt trade to the central posthouse every week, the camel caravans also increased their guards when they went out.

Everything was handled with the utmost caution.

At the same time, there were also violent soldiers.

A week had passed, and the troops in the training ground had already returned.

On the city wall, Swadian footman in chain armor had already appeared. They carried a long lance on their shoulders, a Germanic sword on their waist, and a fan shield on their back. Their faces were cold and stern.

This included Swadian crossbowmen who wore iron-scale armor and held crossbow in their hands.

These were all level 3 soldiers.

In a short period of time, they quickly filled in the gaps in the defense of Drondheim Castle.

After all, the undead cavalry had already come into contact with the Oasis Lookout. Although the existence of the sun disc did not directly launch attacks and destruction, once the regular army of the undead arrived here, the situation would definitely be even more tragic!

During this one week, the recruitment and training did not stop.

The army was still expanding rapidly.

Kant was extremely cautious towards the undead that were hiding in the depths of the Nahrin desert and wanted to expand outwards.

Even a lion would use its full strength to hunt a rabbit.

Moreover, even after dealing with the threat of the undead, Kant still needed to continue scheming against the Dukedom of Leo. Similarly, he needed absolute strength to rely on. And a strong and elite army that could incite fear in any enemy was the safest choice!

On the sixth floor of the council hall, inside Kant’s own room.

He was still resting.

It was early in the morning, and the sky was just beginning to brighten.

The suitable temperature made Kant sleep very comfortably. With a thin layer of cashmere wool blanket and a specially installed heating fireplace in the room, it was as warm as early summer.

A week had passed, and he was also tired for a week.

He just had a good sleep.

However, the sleep schedule that he had developed in recent days also woke him up at this time.

“Ugh...” after stretching his body, Kant sat up on the soft velvet cushion. He rubbed his face hard, and his drowsy mind became much clearer.

The room was very warm. He lifted the blanket and got out of bed in his pajamas.

He went to the table and poured himself a glass of water.

There was still warm sweet water with date candy in it. The servants would change it every once in a while to ensure that Kant could use it at any time and maintain his warm status at all times.

“It’s about time. I can finally rest for a while.”

Kant drank the sweet water and came to the window.

He opened a small gap.

The cool air seeped in, but it made Kant’s spirit even more excited.

From 50 meters above his head, the huge golden disk with a diameter of 20 meters was emitting a faint golden light. Even though the Moon had already disappeared at dawn, it still made the area covered by the disk appear bright.

It was like an extra-large night light, and it was a soft version that did not hurt the eyes.

The interior of the castle could be clearly seen.

The civilians had all woken up. They were carrying farm tools on the streets in twos and threes. Their footsteps were very fast. They looked like they were in a hurry.

This included the camel caravans that had just filled up table salt and were preparing to leave the castle. They were also heading to the posthouse to trade.

They were all in a hurry.

Kant understood this.

Drondheim’s castle had entered a strict status. Other than the daily workers and traders, everyone else was quietly staying in their homes, waiting for the army’s arrangements.

At the same time, a portion of the civilians were formed into teams, specially learning how to defend the city.

Of course, it was just the simplest job.

That was to move all sorts of military supplies, such as shields, arrows, and stones, or to help clean the city walls and arrow towers, ensuring that there were no obstacles or sundries, which would affect the performance of the defending troops during wartime.

In the continent of Caradia, when the Lords defended the city, they would specially arrange or train them. After experiencing chaos for a long time, the Swadian civilians were used to these tasks, and they even picked up their weapons, they could hold up some key positions and slightly parry the attacks of the enemy troops, delaying the time of being captured.

If they were directly upgraded to a militia, they would be instilled with the combat skills and experience of the militia. These civilians’ combat ability would be greatly improved. At the very least, they would be able to defend between the narrow city walls and arrow towers. It would not be a problem for them to wait for reinforcements.

However, the real battle would still depend on the elite soldiers.

In the castle.

Swadian footman formed patrol teams and patrolled the streets and alleys.

Crossbowmen and archers occupied the city walls and stood on the square towers and arrow towers. They watched the periphery of the area they were stationed at coldy and vigilantly looked out for any suspicious targets in the depths of the desert.

In the barracks, the knights and heavy cavalry were wiping their weapons and waiting.

Outside the castle.

The Mamlukes, who was good at fighting in the desert, was patrolling in the form of a small team.

The date palm forest and the various farmlands, including the pasture, were all patrolling vigilantly. They carried two iron staffs on their shoulders and had round steel shields on their left arms. Under the full-body Salander chain armor, they had cold eyes.

They were also waiting.

They were waiting for the desert bandits outside the Oasis Lookout to report back all kinds of information!
