Lord of the Oasis Chapter 33: .horn sounded
Lunch is in progress.
Daily quota per person, sliced brown bread, grilled oily hand-dried meat, plus 1 bowl of cabbage soup mixed with flour, and finally 2 dates per person as an extra dessert.
As a respectable and noble lord, Kant's food is spiced with extra spice.
The food looks good.
There are meat and vegetarian dishes, soups and staples, and desserts.
For ordinary people, this is tantamount to a feast.
Kant knew this well.
In the Principality of Lions, only citizens with decent jobs in towns, or freedmen in the countryside with their own arable land, can have the extra money to enjoy such a delicious meal.
The backward productivity is not enough to support everyone to eat good food.
Just the Kant exception to owning the system.
"I'm full."
Putting down the knife and fork in his hand, Kant calmly wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.
However, between his eyebrows, he was also a little helpless.
He's had enough of this food.
It's not that it's not delicious, but that he's been a little tired of eating it for 8 days.
Even though his food was carefully cooked and spices were added, the familiar taste of three meals a day for several days in a row made him protest and want to change it.
Or change the type of food.
Bread, dried meat, cabbage.
Of course, there are also sun-dried dates.
Put the sun-dried soft dates in your mouth and chew, and the tempting sweetness fills your mouth immediately.
But Kant shook his head slightly.
No matter how good things are often eaten, they will still feel bland and tasteless.
Put down the handkerchief.
Kant walked towards the second floor of the Consultative Hall, turned his head at the same time, and warned the Swadian militiamen who were still eating lunch in the Consultative Hall: "Remember to be vigilant during the lunch break."
"Understood." The militiamen shouted in unison.
Although it was lunch, the vigilance work at Sentinel Oasis actually did not fail.
In particular, the watchtower next to the Consulate Hall has been built, with a height of 8 meters. After going up, you can easily observe the distance of thousands of meters around, which provides great convenience for their vigilance work.
The Narun Desert is relatively flat, but it is not a complex mountainous environment.
"Yeah." Kant nodded and returned to the room on the second floor with confidence.
He believed in their responsibility.
At least these Swadian soldiers have never had trouble, and Kant never found them slack.
After all, they come from Calradia continent, a tragic place that has been war-torn and tragic. Anyone who is careless is estimated to have been buried in the soil and become the remains of witnessing the development of history.
Lying on the bed, Kant closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Although not busy, thinking still consumes energy.
The sun is shining outside the window, and the temperature is rising.
The sentry oasis, which is as high as 50°C, also became silent as the lunch ended.
Everyone rested.
This is a hard-won lunch break. After recuperating, there is still a lot of work waiting for them in the afternoon.
Includes military training.
And the tactical training of Swadian militias, recruits, and farmers.
The threat of gnolls has never disappeared, and Kant has never let down his vigilance. He has been assuming possible enemies, so last week, he organized everyone to start training.
The training in the system can increase the experience, so that the troops can be upgraded.
However, it requires [Training Ground], or the leader's own [Training] skill.
This is the real world.
Naturally, Kant does not have data-based skills, so he cannot upgrade his units during daily training.
The current "Dehrim" is still a village, and there is also no [Training Ground], a building that can increase experience during training.
But that didn't stop them from training.
Although it is impossible to increase experience, it is also impossible to upgrade a level 0 farmer to a level 1 recruit.
But it can train combat formations, as well as tactical formations.
The real world, the battle of blood and flesh, has higher requirements for tactical formations, because this is not a messy battle in the game that can be solved in a rush.
At present, Kant has an army of nearly 200 people.
100 Swadian farmers.
30 Swadian recruits.
35 Swadian militiamen.
17 Desert Bandits (1 can be recruited this week).
and Kant.
There are a total of 183 people, all of them warriors who can fight desperately to protect their homes.
Among them, 10 special Swadian militiamen are also included.
The previous battles have brought enough experience to these 10 militiamen. As long as Kant pays the dinars required for the upgrade, he can evolve into a more advanced level 3 army at any time.
Such as the Swadian Light Infantry.
And the Swadian partisan shooter.
However, for the current Kant, rushing to upgrade is not a good thing.
Because of the damage overflow.
In other words, it is the current Swadian militia. These 2nd-level troops can fully cope with the primitive race of the gnoll, and the effect is very good, and the cost performance on the battlefield is extremely high.
Equipped with tinted leather armor and tinted leather helmet.
Weapons include a heavy spear with an iron-clad front, a one-handed fighting **** that can pierce armor, and a hard, fan-shaped shield.
And there are hunting crossbows.
Although this kind of crossbow commonly used by hunters is less powerful than the light crossbow in Kant's hands, and its killing distance is only 80 meters, it is still a long-range attack method and is a weapon worthy of recognition.
That's why I say that the Swadian militia is very cost-effective.
This is the all-powerful unit.
Even on the frontal battlefield of the Kingdom of Swadia, these militiamen are purely defensive, and if they stay in place, they can temporarily act as a line of defense against the enemy's onslaught.
What's more, in the face of those gnolls, it can better reflect their value!
Kant thought about it carefully.
Dehrim's forces will usher in a new qualitative change if they can win the second attack of the gnoll tribe that will appear at some point.
More farmers will be upgraded to Swadian recruits.
The same more recruits will be upgraded to Swadian Militia.
Even stronger Swadian light infantry.
The war that others feared, in Kant's view, was an alternative development path. The system was originally based on war to support war. The so-called peaceful development is only a rhetoric before failure, an illusion to paralyze the enemy.
If Kant had 100 Swadian knights, he would not hesitate to declare war on the gnoll tribe.
Use the high mobility of cavalry.
And the terrifying power of the Swadian knights.
Raise troops of gnolls across the flat desert, slaughtering them between the dunes.
It's just a pity that he doesn't have 100 Swadian knights.
"Woo-"
Just as Kant's thoughts diverged, a dull horn sounded suddenly.
It seems to shake the soul.
"What happened."
Kant instantly opened his eyes and regained consciousness.
He knew that this was the sound of the horn of the sentry on the watchtower, and when this sound appeared, it represented only the possibility of an abnormal situation.
Such as finding a gnoll army.
Or discover suspicious units.
All in all, for Kant and the others, it is necessary to make a defensive posture!
Quickly walked out of the room and came to the outside of the Consulate.
Recruits and militiamen armed with spears are assembled.
And on the side of the street, 100 peasants with scythes are ready to fight~IndoMTL.com~ is full of fighting spirit.
"What happened?"
Kant held a light crossbow with a stern face and stepped out of the Consulate Hall.
The militiamen at the top of the watchtower quickly ran down and explained to Kant: "Lord Lord, I found a strange cavalry unit in the south, moving towards our oasis."
"A strange cavalry unit?"
He frowned slightly, and Kant's eyes were even more solemn.
Turning his head to look to the south, he could only sweep across the seemingly endless sand dunes. He asked slowly, "How many people."
The militia replied: "50 cavalry, and a carriage."
"Yeah." Kant nodded, but his brows furrowed even more.
Gnolls naturally don't have cavalry, and even if they do, they won't appear in the south.
Because to the south is the Principality of Lions.
Kant's hometown, the famous country of martial arts, the human country with the strongest cavalry.
"Everyone."
With a wave of his hand, Kant gave the order: "Get ready for battle!"
"Understood!" The crowd was in high spirits.
Kant will not lose his vigilance because there are cavalry troops from the lion principality. You must know that even the nobles in the principality sometimes have fierce conflicts because of their territory and wealth.
Small-scale wars were common among nobles.
So he directed the 17 desert robbers who were riding on desert horses at the street entrance and instructed: "Now it's up to you to carry out the investigation, no close combat is allowed, and return immediately after the investigation is over!"
"Yes, my lord." The desert robbers nodded.
Investigating is what they are good at. As soon as they kicked the horse, 17 people roared out and scattered in this vast sea of sand.
