Chereads / The Tallest Island / Chapter 24 - Mastering the Oasis

Chapter 24 - Mastering the Oasis

After riding for nearly 2 hours finally Danis and his troops saw an oasis in the distance, seeing this they suddenly felt very happy.

"Report sir, the oasis has been found" the scout at the front of the troop informed danis.

"Ohhhh...it looks like we have arrived" Danis replied.

"Sir I think we should hurry to see if any of the other races have arrived first" Maximus suggested Danis.

"You're right Maximus I almost forgot something important like that...ok you immediately go to the oasis and see if any other races have arrived" Danis immediately returned to giving orders to the scout soldier.

"Okay sir, carry out the task" replied the soldier and immediately galloped towards the oasis.

On the other hand, Danis and the rest of his troops accelerated their movement in the same direction, towards the oasis.

Until 10 minutes later, they finally arrived in front of the oasis they had been looking for.

Looking at the entire oasis, Danis and others have to say that this oasis is quite beautiful, with a lake several thousand meters in size, with the surrounding area divided into a bush area, a tree area and a Grassland area.

While Danis and the others were still watching the oasis, the soldiers he had assigned to check the entire oasis now returned with news.

"Report sir, there are no other races found in this oasis, from the observations we are the first" the soldier reported.

"Good....we are the first so this is very good" Danis replied with satisfaction because they managed to be the first.

"Then how wide is the area of ​​this oasis, and what's there here?" Asked Danis again.

"Report sir, from the observations we found, it is known that there are 3 areas in this oasis, with forest, bush, and grassland areas being the main areas of this oasis, while the area of ​​this oasis from the results of our measurements has area of ​​10,000-12,000 m² "replied the soldier.

"Ohhh...it seems quite large in size, but with 700 troops divided into 7 races, this is definitely quite a dense area, Maximus what advice can you give?" Ask Danis for advice.

"Choose the location of your headquarters," replied Maximus.

"Then where do you suggest?" Ask Danis again.

"In forest area, there is a good location to defend and set up camp" replied Maximus.

"Then let's go there" Danis ordered and then led his troops.

Arriving at the oasis forest area, Danis saw that what was meant by the forest in the oasis area was an area where there were many trees with a height of 5-10 M which contained several types of trees, which included teak trees and fir trees, seeing this Danis then immediately thought of making a camp simpler than teak trees, because it has far better quality than fir.

" Ok that's decided, Maximus you lead some troops to make a camp area which is equipped with a defensive area, take advantage of the existing wood, the rest Rias and Zahra Lead the existing troops into two groups, then look for what resources are in the whole oasis.

Take advantage of the time when the other races haven't arrived, ok now disperse" Danis ordered.

From there then the troops began to disperse according to the instructions Danis gave, on the other hand he, along with the remaining 4 warrior escorts, led them towards the entrance of the oasis where he would stand guard and give warning to his troops when there were signs of other races coming arrived at the oasis.

Returning to Maximus, he who was given the task of making a camp with an additional defense area, is now asking his troops to start cutting the many teak trees that are there.

Luckily the trees in the area of ​​several thousand meters have quite a large population, and it is enough to meet the needs to build a camping area.

On the other hand, Rias led an army of 5 people to explore the bush area in the oasis, to find out if there were any resources they could find like what Danis said.

And Zahra on the other hand also did the same thing to comb the meadow area in the oasis.

"Search every bush, and comb carefully don't miss a single bush because maybe there we can get unknown materials and resources" Rias ordered to the soldiers.

"Okay captain" replied the five soldiers present.

Slowly but surely Rias and her 5 soldiers began to search carefully in the area around the bush, until then while they were searching, movements were seen in some of the bushes in front of them, seeing this without being commanded immediately, the 5 soldiers who were equipped with arrows immediately opened their eyes their bow.

Without much talk they immediately release arrows.

Shoosh....shoohs.....the five arrows immediately hit the bush and caused the bush that was originally moving to stop.

"Look what you got" Rias ordered her soldiers.

Soon the five of them approached and in the end they found, 5 rather large rabbits that had been shot dead.

"Our captain got 5 rabbits" the soldiers gave their catch.

"Ohhhh...there are rabbits apparently...good.... Because there are five it means there is their nest nearby, quickly find and catch them all" Rias ordered back after receiving the 5 rabbits that were successfully harvested.

Elsewhere in the grassy area when Zahra led her soldiers to move across the area, there was dissatisfaction visible on Zahra's face.

"Damn .... didn't get anything" Zahra complained when she saw that nothing they had managed to get so far, Zahra of course felt very dissatisfied because this could be said to be the first task given by Danis to her, and she definitely didn't want it to end in failure.

"Captain reports..." A soldier reports to Zahra.

Zahra, who was once disappointed, now heard her soldiers reporting something, this immediately made her happy, and then said "whatever you find, tell me quickly!!!" Zahra quickly asked the soldier who reported to inform her.

"We found a large mound, captain on the edge of the grass from our observations, this is clearly something suspicious and doesn't look natural," replied the soldier reporting to Zahra.

"Ohhh hump....." Zahra who heard the report initially hoped for a lot only then she had to feel a little disappointed, but she comforted herself by saying it was better to see maybe there really is something good Zahra thought in her heart.

"Ok quickly take me there" Zahra ordered again.

So then the two of them immediately headed to the mound area, when they got there the rest of the soldiers had gathered.

"You gathered here?" Zahra asked when she saw that the remaining 4 soldiers were also here. Previously she ordered them to spread out and search separately but then she found that they had already gathered here.

" Captain reported that we have searched the entire area of ​​grass but we can't find anything except this mound of earth" replied a soldier who reported to Zahra on behalf of another friend, while he then pointed to the mound of earth in front of them.

Looking at the mounded area, Zahra only then saw clearly what her men meant.

In the middle of their current area, he noticed a mound of earth 1 M high by 3 M wide that seemed to stand out from the surrounding area where everything was flat, even so if one didn't look carefully this mound of earth would also definitely not be seen as the entire ground was covered in grass.

"Ok good job, let me see first" Zahra approached the mound trying to find out if there was anything strange or dangerous, but then she had to be disappointed because from her observations there was nothing strange.

"Let me clean it with my purification magic first" Zahra said to the other warriors and started to cast a spell.

"Oh...the light of life..give me strength...purify this land!!!!" After reading the spell immediately a bright light coming from Zahra's hand shot towards the mound of earth.

Until a few moments later there was no reaction which meant Zahra said "ok it's safe you can dig it up, and do it quickly" Zahra ordered.

Hearing Zahra's instructions, the soldiers immediately started digging, but because they weren't equipped with adequate tools, they could only do it slowly.

Seeing this, Zahra couldn't do much and hoped that whatever was in the ground wasn't buried too deep.

"Captain found something!!" Shouted a soldier when the sword he used to dig hit something.

"What is that!!!...quickly dig it up and take it out!!!" Zahra ordered excitedly.

In the bush area Rias who had harvested dozens of rabbits ordered 2 soldiers to return immediately and hand over the rabbits they had hunted.

"Our captain found another lair!!" A soldier's voice rang out reporting the situation to Rias.

"Ohhh...the third nest, interesting let's see how many rabbits there are" Rias happily headed towards the soldier.

Arriving there, Rias immediately saw that behind a fairly dense bush, a rather large hole with a diameter of 1 M jutting down was visible.

Seeing this Rias became curious, because from what she knew rabbits shouldn't make their nest entrance hole this big, so she then said Are you sure this is a rabbit's nest?' makeup doubtfully asked.

"I'm sure captain, here is a rabbit's nest because I just saw a rabbit big enough to go inside" replied the soldier.

"Ok then you catch the rabbit now" Rias ordered again.

"Okay captain" replied the soldier back.

Then he immediately entered the rabbit's nest, because of the large entrance hole the soldier didn't find it difficult to enter.

It's just that when the soldier entered, not long after, there was a scream from the orjaurit.

"Captain....there is a treasure box!!!!" shouted the soldier in the nest.

Hearing this Rias who was waiting outside was shocked and surprised.

"Treasure Box!!!"
