Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 73. Migrating desert antelope

Kant was woken up by someone.

His drowsy head was still sound asleep, and the rapid sound of palms slamming on the wooden door, mixed with that rough voice appeared in the corridor outside the door: "Lord Lord, wake up."

"Stop knocking."

When he got up, he was still angry, Kant forced it down, and said helplessly: "If the door is broken, you have to pay in dinars."

Lifting off the wool blanket and quickly putting on his clothes, Kant opened the door and looked at the excited light infantry with an embarrassed expression outside. He couldn't help shaking his head and said, "What happened, is there an enemy coming?"

"No, we found large numbers of desert antelopes."

The Swadian light infantry swallowed, and quickly reported: "They're migrating near us!"

"What?" Kant showed an unbelievable expression.

Looking at this light infantryman, he couldn't turn his head after being drowsy all night. He couldn't help but blurt out and asked, "You said there are desert antelopes migrating near us?"

"Yes, my lord!" The light infantry nodded decisively.

Kant rubbed his face: "Is it April Fool's Day? I don't remember Calradia having this festival."

Still, he went down the stairs.

After all, seeing is believing. Whether there are desert antelopes migrating near the sentry oasis, you can tell by just a glance.

"Lord Lord, good morning."

"Good morning, Lord Kant!"

In the Consulate Hall, Swadian heavy cavalrymen wearing chain armor and sturdy physique are standing guard.

Kant nodded: "Okay."

Walking out of the Consultative Hall, there was no busy crowd outside the street.

On the contrary, at the street entrance on the west side, at the sugar factory, many people are gathering, Swadia heavy cavalry, Swadia light infantry, and Sarand rider, and Ravenston Ranger, the crowd is in Together they blocked the street.

"what happened?"

Kant frowned, and he saw that Fatis and Manid were also standing there.

They all looked out, bright and piercing.

"There are really migrating desert antelopes? How could this kind of creature migrate in this ghost place."

Kant was helpless, curious, and walked over quickly.

The Narun Desert does not have the rich vegetation resources of the Sunwaya Mountains, let alone the common streams and water pools in the Sunwaya Mountains. It is not a place for creatures like desert antelopes to live.

Desert antelope, although the word desert, does not mean that they can really live in the desert.

They are only slightly adapted to the desert environment.

In other words, compared with other creatures, it has evolved its own way of living in the desert.

"Lord Kant, you are here."

Manid heard the footsteps behind him, turned his head and saw Kant was walking quickly.

With a smile on his face, he said to Kant in surprise: "I didn't expect the sentry oasis to be a migration route for desert antelopes. In the future, we can completely hunt these antelopes for food and leather products!"

"There are really desert antelopes?" Kant was stunned.

Fatis also nodded affirmatively, pointed to the outside and said, "Sir, there are many."

The other soldiers also noticed that Kant was coming, and quickly bowed their heads respectfully, and at the same time gave him a way to the outside, and let Kant go ahead and see for himself.

"Okay." Kant nodded in response.

Walking towards the front, the newly-appeared small lake was sparkling, and his eyes looked towards the lake on the west side, but suddenly shrank as if he had discovered a new continent: "This...so much?!" He couldn't help exclaiming.

What they said is that there are many desert antelopes migrating. Now, according to Kant, there are more than a lot?

but a lot!

Thousands of desert antelopes are gathering, one by one, probing the lake to drink water.

orderly, and all quite vigilant,

Many desert antelopes in the periphery are sticking out their little heads and looking in the direction of "Dehrim". In their black pearl-like eyes, strangers are not allowed to enter.

Small body, vigorous and with agility.

A tuft of black hairs ran across the top of the head and across the neck to the tail of the back. Among the pale yellow fur all over the body, it was like a long black line, which added to the spirituality of this little thing.

There are also two slightly circling long horns on the top of the head, which seem to be sharp swords piercing the sky.

"Why are they here?"

Kant swallowed and spit, and his expression returned from shock to calm.

Fatis said behind him: "I found them during the inspection in the morning. They came from the Sanwaya Mountains, and not only this group. There have been many groups of desert antelopes before, but they are not as large as this group."

"Of course I know from the Sanwaya Mountains."

Kant nodded. He was familiar with this since he was a child. The desert antelope in the Sangwaya Mountains was a delicacy on the dinner plate of the nobles.

But looking at so many desert antelopes in front of him, he couldn't help but ask, "I want to know why they go to the depths of the desert? Is there something in the depths of the desert that attracts them?"

It's unusual for a group of cuties to risk their lives into the desert.

The surrounding soldiers frowned slightly, and they also didn't understand.

"Maybe I have an idea."

Manid suddenly spoke, his tone hesitated slightly, but after thinking about it, he asked Kant: "Remember that you once talked about the desert antelopes in the Sangwaya Mountains, in a week at the end of the month, even the most outstanding lions in the Principality of Lion Hunters, it's hard to catch one at this time?"

"Yes, anyone in the Principality of Lions knows." Kant nodded.

This interesting thing has also been recorded in some books, but it is not taken seriously. After all, it doesn't matter that you can't eat the meat of desert antelope for a few days a month.

But who would have thought that these desert antelopes would appear here!

This made Kant curious.

Manid continued: "And in the ruins of the Gnoll tribe, we once found charred dried meat, which was made by these desert antelopes. At the same time, remember that your first battle in the Narun Desert was Killed the hunting party of the little gnoll tribe that occupied the sentry oasis."

"Yes, that's right, that's true." Kant frowned, and the original picture appeared in his mind.

In his memory, he seemed to have come to the Sentinel Oasis at the end of the month. Combining this thinking, Kant knew: "You mean that in the last week of the month, there will be desert antelopes migrating to the Sentinel Oasis?"

"That's right." Manid nodded lightly and said, "Then this is very simple, maybe there is something in the Naron desert that is attracting these desert antelopes, even if they risk their lives to go in. "

Kant frowned slightly.

The surrounding Fatis and other soldiers looked at them blankly.

Apparently it hasn't responded yet.

Looking at the suspicious eyes around him, Manid said with certainty, "It's salt."

"Salt?" The soldiers around were still stunned.

They are all standard fighters. If they are asked to answer, how to kill the enemy in the shortest time, then their answer can instantly appear in seven or eight of the most effective ways.

But this kind of problem, they are obviously a little difficult to deal with.

Kant opened his mouth and his frowned slightly relaxed: "You mean those natural salt mines? If you say that, maybe you're right."

"That's right, speculation is like this, the most reasonable explanation." Manid nodded.

At the same time, he also explained to Fatis and the surrounding soldiers: "Desert antelope should be similar to those creatures in the Sarand desert, with a large amount of activity and a lot of salt that needs to be added, so they need to migrate to the depths of the desert. The salt mines are supplemented with salt, and the water source of the sentry oasis is used as a transfer station.”

Manid said: "This is also why the dried meat of the desert antelope appears in the gnoll tribe, the remains of the desert antelope are also found in the salt mine, and the sentry oasis is occupied by a small tribe of gnolls."

"So it is." The surrounding soldiers suddenly realized.

Manid chuckled and said, "Lord Kant, maybe this is also a good opportunity to accumulate food."

"Of course." Kant also smiled and nodded.

Waving to the Ravenston Rangers behind him, he pointed to the desert antelope and asked, "Can you help me keep some antelope? Fresh antelope meat is always better than those dry air-dried meat** ******S: Thanks for the 1000 starting point coins from "Blue Sky Clouds and Neon Clothes"~Thanks for the 1000 starting point coins from "Beautiful Pig"~Thanks for the 100 starting coins for "Melancholy and Indifference Overlap"~Thank you "I can travel through the clouds and rain" personally rewarded 100 starting coins~Thanks to "Camel*Tanknight" for the 100 starting coins~Thanks "This is Blessing" for the 100 starting coins~Thanks "If you object" 500 starting coins for the reward~Thanks to "wfhy" for the 100 starting coins~Thanks "sitelinhz" for the 500 starting coins~Thanks "Book Friend 20170304023136287" for the 100 starting coins~
