Chapter 100 Conquering the Oasis
"Did the interrogation reveal anything?"
Karu shook his head, "No, you came back just after the beginning."
Richard turned to look at the three men who were tightly tied up and looked frightened.
"I ask, you answer."
The indifferent tone matched the pressure brought by the dark gargoyle stationed in the corner.
The psychological defenses of the three already weak-willed men collapsed immediately.
"You said, we will tell you whatever you ask."
"Who sent you?"
"Xina Krina, the ruler of Oasis City, she is a member of the Krina tribe."
"The Krina tribe? Are they the race that after marrying a man, they will kill their husbands themselves and use the soul of the person they love most in exchange for power?"
Karu was a little surprised at this time.
"They are known as the roses of death in the desert"
"Yes, it's them"
Are there any such races? Richard felt that he had gained a lot of experience.
"Are the Krina powerful?"
Karu said softly, "The number of people is very small, but the individual strength is strong."
"Legend has it that the Krina gained power at the expense of the people they loved most."
"So every member of the Krina clan is a hero unit."
Richard knew something in his mind and turned to look at the prisoner.
"What is the purpose of her sending you here?"
"To find out the reality of the Twilight City, it is best to encourage residents to join the Oasis City."
"Are you so confident that you can complete the mission?"
A few people were a little embarrassed.
"More than ten days ago, we talked with the search and rescue personnel you sent out, and we speculated from the side that Twilight City is not strong. So."
Richard understood that there were indeed not many troops in Twilight City at that time.
According to normal logic, even after two months of development, it is impossible to become as strong as it is now.
He has three of the rare three-star wave troop nests in his hands, which is an absolute killer in the early stage.
"What does the Oasis City rely on to feed such a large population? What is your food source? Is there anything God-given?"
Richard looked at the three of them with burning eyes.
Several prisoners were flustered and said quickly.
"Lord, we don't know either. We only know that the food is provided by Lady Xina. But"
The prisoner who spoke gritted his teeth. "But there is a restricted area deep in the oasis, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.
It is said that there is an underground passage inside, and food is taken out from the ground. ”
Underground passage?
Richard's eyelids twitched.
There really is something hidden.
He thought of the underground space filled with undead.
Could this oasis have something similar? It’s just that food is produced here.
Food and water are the scarcest and most important supplies in the desert, and he is very sensitive to this.
It is precisely because the opponent has a steady supply of food that he has the confidence to build a city and expand his territory
Kalu said with bright eyes.
"Sir, if we can capture that oasis, we will not only get the population that Twilight City is in urgent need of, but also get the secret that can produce food, which will be of great significance to Twilight City."
This was the second time he proposed to capture the oasis.
Richard nodded, knowing something in his mind.
There was no rush to respond to him and the interrogation continued.
"What is the strength of Oasis City's army?"
"There is a squadron of rare soldiers - Ovana Guards, recruited by Lord Xina."
"Where to recruit from? How many troop nests are there in Oasis City?"
"There are two in total, both in the restricted area."
"How many heroes are there?"
"I only know one person, Lady Xina."
Judging from the strength on paper, Oasis City is not weak, but Twilight City, which has greatly increased its strength, can take it.
"How many people are there in Oasis City now?"
"There are more than 600 people, and we are still gathering refugees from the surrounding area."
600 people?
Richard was very excited.
These are all white labor, resources that the Twilight City is in urgent need of.
With these residents, the gap that is stuck in territory upgrades can be filled.
Upgrading to a second-level town requires 500 people. If you continue to upgrade, you will definitely need more.
This population is a timely blessing.
Moreover, the brewery that has not yet been built and the food workshop that has been built both need talents.
600 people, they can't all be trash, there can always be a few talents that Twilight City is in urgent need of.
After thinking, he made a decision.
"Gray, keep him here and continue the interrogation. I want to know more details."
"Yes, Master."
With only three prisoners looking in fear, the mummy hero escorted them down.
Richard turned to look at Karu.
"As Twilight City grows, we will inevitably encounter various hostile forces. We must be more vigilant to avoid unexpected situations."
"Yes, my lord!"
After careful consideration, Carew put forward his own suggestion.
"Sir, the strength of Oasis City is not very strong. We can definitely eat it. And this should be done sooner rather than later. If the other party is prepared, there may be an accident."
"The other party has already sent spies, and the army may arrive next time. We need to eradicate this unstable factor."
Richard nodded appreciatively.
He admired Kalu's acting style, and he didn't just focus on his own scene.
It seems that this aging heroic unit has had a lot of experience.
"Early tomorrow morning, I will lead the army to attack Oasis City. I will assemble the army immediately and set off overnight."
Richard was also extremely decisive.
If the other party dares to send people to find out the details of Twilight City, some accidents may not happen after a long time.
He prefers to keep the initiative firmly in his hands.
As constructs, dark gargoyles are born with night vision. With them on guard, the risk of traveling at night can be minimized.
Moreover, his subordinates are all undead beings, relying on the fire of their souls to sense the outside world, and their combat effectiveness will not be affected by light.
"Sir, the journey takes a day and a night"
Karu reminded.
Richard waved his hand
"You can also rest on the road because there are gargoyles. As long as you are alert enough, it will not be a serious problem."
We have to spend the night in the desert. There is not much difference between setting off now and setting off tomorrow morning.
Seeing that Richard had made up his mind, Kalu said nothing more.
After some preparations, Richard prepared all the materials to be consumed, ordered Karu to handle the prey, and then brought out the three prisoners.
Left the territory late at night.
However, for the safety of the territory, Richard left all four teams of bloody mummies in the territory this time.
At the same time, together with the guardian mummies, the number was close to two squadrons, and they were not afraid of enemy raids.
On the march at night, many soldiers were found wandering around.
But this time he was going to capture the oasis. Apart from edible prey, Richard ignored other wild monsters.
Leaving the territory late at night on the 18th, before the sun sank into the yellow sand land on the 19th, Richard arrived at his destination - the mysterious oasis that was very likely to contain resource treasures. (End of chapter)
