The knight in the abyss

Chapter 85 Oasis Fort

Oasis Fort is located in the north of Shuangqiao Town, about 500 miles away. At the normal speed of the carriage, it takes about two days to walk.

The journey went smoothly, because there was no trouble that could not be solved, but the small-scale robberies never stopped.The abyss is not a peaceful place. The first layer of the Myriad Abyss Plain where they are located is very livable compared to other layers. Almost all evil races can be found here.

The looters they encountered included hobgoblins, gnolls, orcs, ogres, and even a two-headed giant, but they were all dismissed so easily by the dwarves that Lancelot didn't even have to shoot.

Like all goblins, Phil doesn't like dwarves, and dwarves have the same perception of goblins, so most of the time, Lancelot and Karalin sat in Phil's first carriage together, playing the role of goblin merchants conscientiously. bodyguard.

Phil's views on those who are blocking the road and robbing are no different from others. First of all, he will 'politely' ask the other party to leave. If the other party refuses, he will take out his weapon to force the other party to obey.

The only difference is that his goblin taunts are always very limited, and his slingshots and daggers are far more menacing than he looks.

The convoy has also repeatedly witnessed hordes of primordial demons and cowardly demons, these poor low-level demons wandering aimlessly on the ground, arguing loudly with each other in indistinct words.

Karalin is very interested in this situation. According to him, under normal circumstances, these low-level tanaris in the wild are always being chased, either by the conscription team or by the food requisition team, depending on the situation. in the war situation.

Generally speaking, a wolf snake demon will be responsible for the recruitment of an area, but maybe the guy named Wesker was killed. These newborn demons who have not been born for a long time have not yet had the opportunity to experience the cruelty of 'demon' life. .

But even if the tanar'ri daemons got a brief respite, they dared not attack the guarded caravan.These lowest-ranked demons are not crazy enough, their thirst for blood and battle is not enough to suppress the fear of death.

But there will also be some primitive demons born in the abyss, and these crazy guys won't care so much.

The demons born from the souls of mortals are called Tanari. If you overcome your fear and observe their forms carefully, you will find that they are more or less mortal, such as the head on the neck, the lower body with two legs and so on.

And these abyss native demons are more abstract, spherical or columnar bodies with a random number of mouths, eyes and claws, roaring and trying to attack everything around them.

Fortunately, although this kind of demon encountered in the wild is dangerous, it has almost no intelligence and only acts on instinct.

At this time, it was the turn of Lancelot's seven-foot sword 'Glacier' to come in handy.This gigantic weapon has a raw beauty in Lancelot's hands, especially when he cuts the grotesque, disgusting, and frenzied enemies in two, always arousing the admiration of the dwarves.

The goat-headed demon led by Iados did not walk with them, this was to avoid being discovered by the patrol team of Oasis Fort.After the team set off, these tall and thin demons never appeared in Lancelot's field of vision.

This just gave him the opportunity to exercise his spiritual awareness and spiritual sense.After practice, the fuzzy sensing range of his spiritual sense has reached nearly one mile. Any creature that is strong enough to enter this range will touch his spiritual sense and be discovered by him in advance.

Frequent fighting slowed down the team's progress, and on the afternoon of the third day, they finally reached the gate of Oasis Fort.

Since it is named Oasis Fort, it is naturally because there is an oasis here.

Drinkable lake water gushed directly from the ground, forming a small lake with an area of ​​about one mu, and turning the surrounding area into a lush oasis.Most of the surface of the Wanyuan Plain is a red wasteland, the land is dry and barren, but the chaotic nature of the abyss determines that it can accommodate all possibilities, although it is bad.

It used to be the source of water for many living creatures living in this world, and it was also a landmark and a supply point for the trade route from the more prosperous areas to the north to Shuangqiao Town.Since clean water is of little value to demons, there was no powerful force occupying this place until the establishment of Oasis Fort.

The greedy Morrow relied on slaves and magic to surround the entire oasis with city walls, taking all the precious water sources for himself.

When Lancelot and his party entered Oasis Castle, they had to pay a 'city tax' of 300 gold coins per person, which shows the male succubus' ability to accumulate wealth.

But the wool is still on the sheep after all.Despite Moruo's denigration, the weapons, armor and even iron ingots produced in Shuangqiao Town are one of the most popular commodities in the abyss. If they can be transported to the demon legions in the north that lack iron, the profit will be more than ten times, enough to make Many greedy businessmen overcame any risk.

Phil took the convoy to a remote inn with familiarity.The boss is a taciturn demon, and when he saw Phil, he showed an undisguised look of surprise on his face, as if he was an old acquaintance of goblins.

He opened his mouth to say something, but Phil blocked his mouth with a bag of gold.He closed his mouth, threw a brass key to Phil, and walked straight out of the gate.

"It's easy to deal with smart people. Well, for the next week, this will be our temporary stronghold."

After settling down the team, Phil went out to sell the goods for concealment, Lancelot and Karalin went out with the goblins, playing the role of bodyguards, and the grumpy dwarves stayed in the inn to guard the goods.

Compared with Shuangqiao Town, the market in Oasis Fort is much more disordered. The disgusting smell in the air and the garbage all over the floor are the first impressions it gives.

Another feature is that there are a large number of slaves with chains, and their bodies are covered with scars from long-term abuse, which makes Lancelo clench his fists tightly, but he still knows what he can do and what he can't do.

This cruel scene did not make Lancelot lose his mind, but it made him firm up his determination to guard Shuangqiao Town.

Phil quickly negotiated a few business deals, made an appointment with the other party about the time and place of delivery, and then left the dirty market with a brisk footsteps and said he was going to have a drink.

Lancelot was sure no one was watching his group, but he agreed with the goblin's caution.If someone reports to the guards because they think they are behaving strangely, that can also cause them unnecessary trouble.

The so-called drink is naturally fake, and their activities just now were all to cover up the real purpose: to connect with Tijana's informant in Oasis Castle.

They must have sufficient intelligence before they can develop detailed plans for their next steps.

　Let's change it first, and have a good weekend everyone~
