nThe horses ran on the sand and formed long, shallow lines. A team of 33 horses marched through the desert.

nKant and his team started the way back.

nTwo Sarrandian horsemen led the way, while the others followed.

nThe environment of the Nahrin Desert was harsh, but it was normal for the desert race, Sarrandian. They able to navigate using the dune and the sun to make the most correct route, while enduring the extreme heat,

nThey had already traveled far away from the Stone Pass.

nAfter a whole day trip, it was already close to dusk, yet they did not encounter any accidents.

nThis was the Nahrin Desert.

nIt was once a desolate forbidden place of civilization, even escaped slaves would kill themselves rather than set foot in this cursed land.

nIt was impossible to see a living soul here.

nKant reached out his hand to take out the water sack, removed the lid, and poured himself a mouthful of warm water. As his throat was nourished by the water, the tried young man became a little more energetic.

n“Lord, we will arrive at the posthouse by eight o’clock at night. ”

nManid lightly tapped the stirrup, and his horse moved slightly faster. He caught up with Kant and said, “It will be easier once we get to the posthouse. ”

n“Indeed.” Kant nodded.

nKant squinted his eyes and looked ahead. The vast sea of sand stretched into the sky.

nThis scene seemed vast, and it was a beautiful scene in this desolate land. But in reality, anyone who lived in the desert would understand the cruelness of this land.

nWhen Kant arrived for the first time, he truly felt from his heart that he was exhausted.

n“Luckily it’s safe now. ”

nKant felt relief in his heart and sighed lightly.

nHe tapped the horse, and his warhorse ran faster. The group heard his voice, “Speed up, all of you. We need to move faster and strive to rest at the posthouse tonight! ”

n“Understood, ” the cavalries replied.

nTheir speed instantly increased. They were all riding forward, which was much faster than walking.

nAs for the captured horses, they were not as strong as the other three breeds, the Swaldian warhorse, the Salander horse, and the desert horse. They transferred most of the items to stronger horses, so the load of captured horses was reduced, and they can move faster.

nKant was thinking that it was time to get more horses.

nPerhaps it was because of the system’s rules, the upgraded cavalry had much better endurance compared to the cavalry in the real world.

nJust like the Sarrandian Horseman.

nOn the basis of a Sarrandian horse as the main warhorse, they should add two other horses which were the horse for carrying loads and the horse for riding.

nThe Swaldian cavalry normally rode an armored warhorse, so they need another two horses for carrying loads, one horse for riding, as well as a warhorse for replacement.

nIn the Middle Ages of Europe, this was how the heavy cavalry was equipped.

nThere were even servants who took care of their daily lives, retinue cavalry that followed them in the war, and a small number of elite footmen that followed them.

nAfter all, being able to become a heavy cavalry was equivalent to being a noble. At least they were as rich as a wealthy landlord. It was true that ordinary civilians did not have the money to buy this expensive full-body armor, and they could not afford the warhorse that needed delicate care.

nOf course, the system did not have so many strict requirements when recruiting and upgrading cavalry soldiers.

nTheir endurance must be much stronger than the regulars.

nThey could refer to the breed line of warhorses in recent years for comparison.

nThe endurance, charging speed, and physical strength of the warhorses were all top-notch.

nThe augmentation of the system’s rules had solved Kant’s problem.

nThink about it, even the transported existed and they were real, so it wasn’t hard to accept the support from the system’s rule. If he really wanted to equip each cavalry with three horses or even five horses, then it would be too cumbersome and expensive.

nKant was satisfied with it.

nOf course, with more horses, they could increase their speed, and they can form more efficient tactical attacked and tactical shifted.

nThis was just Kant’s idea. Perhaps in the future when he gained more power, he would be able to make a deployment like this.

nEveryone continued to move forward.

nAfter the sun in the sky emitted its last light in the dusk, the magnificently bright galaxy had taken over the night sky.

nThe bright moon slowly rose into the sky.

nThe temperature suddenly dropped.

nThe white mist spurted out of their noses and mouths, mixed with the hot air, and condensed into tiny droplets.

nKant and the cavalries had already changed their warm woolen sweaters and thicker linen covers during the dinner. They could keep their bodies warm even in the cold desert.

nThey continued their journey.

nTheir warhorse ran through dune after dune.

nAfter they climbed over the new dune, a flat sand layer appeared in front of them.

n“Is that… ”

nThe leader of the Sarrandian Horsemen raised his head and looked forward. He stared into the distance and saw something unusual.

nIn the middle of the flat and layer, a two-story building stood still.

nLight shone through the tightly shut doors and windows. Even though they were far away, they could still saw of the flames clearly under the bright starry sky.

n“We’ve arrived at the posthouse, ” Kant spoke out everyone’s thought.

nThis was precisely the desert area with the underground lake.

nAnd that two-story building was the posthouse that Kant built a few days ago.

n“That’s great. ” Manid’s lips curled up slightly, and he looked relaxed.

n“Let’s go.”

nKant urged his horse down the dune and led the team charged forward quickly.

nIt was late at night.

nThe construction workers at the Posthouse finished their day with work. They were chatting and resting by the fireplace.

nThey didn’t fall asleep yet.

nBut soon, they were awakened by the sound of horse hooves.

nOne by one, they instinctively grabbed any things around them and nervously stared at the main door.

nThe continent of Caradia was constantly in chaotic wars. There were bandits and marauders everywhere. Now that they had come to this world, how could they not be nervous when they had a sudden encounter in the middle of the night.

n“Relax, friends of Rhodoks. ”

nKant pushed the main door, lifted his hood, and said with a smile, “We’re not the enemy. ”

n“Oh, it’s Lord Kant! ”

n“Lord Kant, Good evening. It’s so nice to meet you. ”

n“It’s You, my Lord! ”

nImmediately, the construction workers from Veruga put down the chairs and wooden sticks in their hands. With their sincere looks, they put their hands on their chests and bowed in embarrassment, trying to apologize for their rude behavior.

n“It’s alright. ” Kant waved his hand. Of course, he wouldn’t care about such a small matter.

nThe cavalries moved the warhorse and the supplies into the posthouse accordingly. After a long day of travel, they were eager to rest.

nBut soon, the atmosphere in the posthouse became lively.

n“It smells so good. ” Kant sniffed. He didn’t smell it when he first came in because of his freezing nose. But now that he recovered his smell, the entire posthouse was filled with the fragrance of delicious food.

n“Lord Kant, it’s toast, dried sausage, and cabbage soup.”

nThe construction workers quickly answered.

nAt the same time, they brought over the tables and chairs for eating and served the freshly cooked food from the grill.

nInitially, these construction workers were planning to enjoy supper while sitting around the fireplace. It happened that Kant and the others came over with their empty bellies, so they could enjoy these free meals.

nThe construction workers were also willing to offer this food to Kant and the others.

n“Thank you so much.”

nKant rubbed his cold face and smiled at them.

nAfter riding through the freezing wind for the whole day, their stomach had been empty for a long time.

nNow that they could eat hot food, and it was like heaven to them. Kant and the others didn’t felt ashamed, they sat down and started swallowed up every food quickly to replenish their strength.

nLate-night canteen?

nKant could not help but smile. “It’s fun.”

n
