Lord of the Oasis Chapter 673 – The Final Result of the Battle

Chapter 673: The Final Result of the Battle

“Commander Bunduk, may I ask you to transfer a group of people from the troops of the Drondheim soldiers to guard the spoils of war with the remaining troops of the Elf Kingdom in the main city of the lizardmen?” Gable walked to Bunduk’s side and asked.

Bunduk faced Gable and nodded, saying, “Of course.”

“That’s good. In a while, I’ll have the guards gather in front of the palace gates. Commander Bunduk, bring the soldiers of Drondheim with you,” Gable suggested.

“Okay, I’ll send someone to give you the names of the soldiers,” Bunduk replied calmly.

“Based on my experience working with you this time, Commander Bunduk is indeed very reliable,” Gable praised.

“I just did what I was supposed to do,” Bunduk said politely, and continued, “this time, we captured the lizardmen’s territory. How does the Elf Kingdom plan to deal with the remaining lizardmen?”

“According to the usual practice after a war, they should be exiled. Anyway, they can’t be allowed to return to this city,” Gable replied after pondering for a while.

“Yes.” Bunduk nodded and didn’t say anything else.

In the current situation, it wasn’t suitable for him to say too much. Moreover, the Elf Kingdom’s way of handling matters could be considered very slow. In the past, many countries fought in all directions. Every place they went to, they would ferociously choose to massacre the entire city. In their eyes, perhaps this was the only way to completely win a war. And even now, many countries would completely destroy the armies of the defeated countries after they won the war to ensure that they would be unable to recover.

Bunduk had never done something like slaughtering a city before. After all, when he saw those ordinary people who had nothing to do with war or politics, he would pity them.

After the distribution of personnel and supplies was settled, other than the soldiers who were in charge of keeping watch, the rest of the people once again embarked on the journey to the Jackalan Kingdom.

The two countries were not far from each other. After two days and a night, all the soldiers arrived at the gate of the jackalans’ territory.

Before they got close, the gate of the Jackalan City opened wide. Many armored jackalan soldiers rushed out from inside. After lining up in a row, they stood in front of everyone.

This was the most common offensive formation used by the jackalans.

However, facing more than 10,000 soldiers, this formation did not bring much offensive momentum.

The Lord of the jackalans was at the center of the formation. He belonged to a race that focused on strength and explosive power. As the leader, he was very eye-catching among the jackalans.

“Charge!” the Lord of the jackalans roared angrily. The sound he made was more like the roar of a wild beast.

The jackalan warriors crashed directly into the shield of the Swadian soldiers at the front. They wanted to destroy their formation.

However, after one of the Swadian soldiers fell, new soldiers came forward.

Under the absolute suppression of the number of people, the energy that the jackalans exploded at the end of their lives could not save them.

The cavalries and elven warriors at the back row continuously used long-range attacks to put pressure on the jackalans.

Many of the jackalans fell to the ground with wounds all over their bodies before they could charge forward.

The eyes of the jackalan lord flashed with green light of hatred when he saw this scene. He flew forward and used the astonishing strength of his right arm to cut down a cavalry under his horse.

Behind him, many jackalans also leaped forward, trying to bypass the defense of the Swadian soldiers in the front row and cut straight to the mages and cavalries on horses in the back row.

With their astonishing jumping ability, a portion of the jackalans finally achieved their goal. They successfully disrupted the formation at the back row.

When the Lord of the jackalans first jumped into the rear formation, Bunduk and the others launched a joint attack and beheaded him.

Seeing that the front line was gradually collapsing, they ordered loudly, “Second defensive formation!”

Upon hearing the order, the Swadian Sergeants leaped onto the backs of their comrades and stacked their shields on top of each other.

Under the tough defense, the jackalans couldn’t break out of the encirclement again.

They could only watch as the other party gradually shrank away from them.

In the end, they were completely surrounded.

After the smoke of the battle, there were only dozens of elven medical soldiers left on the battlefield.

Bunduk took off his helmet and jumped off his horse. He said to Derrick, “I never expected the jackalans to last until the end and fight us head-on.”

“The lord of the jackalans is so different from the lord of the lizardmen,” Derrick replied.

After the war ended, Gable led a group of people into the city.

As for Bunduk and Derrick, they stayed outside the city gates and didn’t follow him in.

They organized their soldiers to set up a tent and it was done when evening arrived.

Gable also walked out of the city gates with his soldiers carrying suitcases.

Outside the city gates of the jackalan race, smoke rose from the chimneys. Bunduk and the others had their first meal of the day.

After dinner, Bunduk, Derrick, and Gable gathered in the tent.

“Commander Bunduk, Commander Derrick, the results of the two searches have been recorded in the book.” Gable took out two books from his pocket and handed them to Bunduk and Derrick, reminding them to keep an eye out for them.

“Thank you.” After taking the books, Bunduk said, “Actually, we can’t tell much. We’ll have to leave this matter to the military officer in charge.”

“Yes. The expedition this time is almost coming to an end. It’s really my luck to be able to carry out the mission with the two of you,” Gable said.

“General Gable, you’ve said this many times,” Bunduk replied. “There’s no need to be so polite with us. The Elf Kingdom has been in close contact with Drondheim for the past year, and the border of Cumberland has always been under your care. If we want to thank you, we’ll probably have to say it for a few days and nights. In the future, we might meet on the battlefield. Since we’ve made friends, there’s no need to thank us in this way.”

Derrick stood to the side and nodded in agreement with what Bunduk said.

Gable was embarrassed to continue. He extended his hand and said, “Alright then. I hope to see you on the battlefield again in the future and become comrades-in-arms with you.”

The next morning, Bunduk and Derrick worked out a route back to Cumberland before leading the army on their journey.

The treasures they found were divided into 40-60 percent and loaded onto the carriage.

Kant’s letter said that this was the result of his discussion with the elves. Furthermore, in order to reduce the burden of the march, the treasures didn’t need to be brought back to the main city by the army.

Upon arrival in Cumberland, it would be brought back to Drondheim by men appointed by Cumberland.
