Lord of the Oasis Chapter 60: .Salt mine ready to be evacuated
This news cannot be shared.
A secret that only Kant himself knows, if he is not strong enough, he will rot in his stomach.
Although he knows that if this news is released, it will cause a huge wave in the Principality of Lions and even other human kingdoms, which is enough to easily clear the ridicule that Mr. Hank is currently suffering from.
Kant still made this decision.
He won't tell anyone.
Not to mention the evidence that he knew of finding the Lost City.
It will not let this golden disc with the sacred pattern of the sun reappear in the eyes of the world.
I'm guilty of embarrassment.
This is the simplest, most obvious, and most direct reason.
Even if Kant would gain widespread popularity because of his discovery of the golden disc and evidence that the Lost City once really existed in this desert, he would even be able to go to the academy and become a glorious and decent place in the upper class. And no less than a professor and senior scholar with aristocratic status.
But he still won't say it.
All of this assumes that Kant can survive.
Because he understands.
Some nobles in the Principality of Lions do not like him, or even hate him.
Especially above Kant's head, the eldest brother who is not a few years older than him, the eldest son of Duke Cameron, will be the first in line to inherit the duchy in the future, but he doesn't want to be happy in the The lion principality is alive in the country.
Leaving the entitlement.
Banished to the barren and dangerous Naron Desert is the bottom line they can accept.
So Kant understands.
Now he has discovered the Lost City again, and has found evidence of the existence of the legendary City of Gold. Perhaps if he digs deeper, he can find the real Lost City, a city built of gold that can only be lived by the blood of the gods.
It undoubtedly touched the interests of everyone in the Principality of Lions.
Those greedy, cunning, and bottomless nobles will use the fastest time to organize the troops in the territory.
Capture the Sentinel Oasis in the most direct way possible.
And Kant, who currently has only 41 Swadian heavy cavalry, and 46 Swadian light infantry as the main force, the desert baron of Naren, the controller of the sentry oasis, will die in the unknown.
After hypocritical and hilarious mourning, this place is back under the control of those nobles.
The Lost City, the immeasurable gold, is a wealth that no one can resist.
It can turn the calmest person into the most insane lunatic.
Greed is the most terrifying.
[Yes/No to give the item to the system to absorb? ]
On Retina, the dialog flashes again.
Kant reacted and nodded without hesitation: "Yes, absorb."
In the eyes, the data flow appeared.
The entire golden disc was directly wrapped in the data stream. With a slight shaking, within a few minutes, this golden disc was absorbed by the system and completely disappeared just like the previous gems and two pages of papyrus. in this world.
Only in this way will Kant feel at ease.
The system solved his confidant's serious problem, which made Kant slightly relieved.
"Lord Kant, you don't seem to be looking well."
Fatis walked in the distance, saw Kant's slightly pale and solemn face, and asked thoughtfully: "Do you need some water? I heard that a well was found here."
"I'm fine." Kant's expression returned to calm.
Seeing that Kant didn't say much or ask more questions, Fatis just looked at the well that had been blackened by the fire, and said in surprise: "This is that well? It can supply 2,000 gnolls daily. Drinking water, it seems that the water storage is definitely not low."
"Lord Fatis, this well is seven or eight meters deep, but the water in the well is less than two meters."
The light infantry who went down the well was drying their wet clothes, and at the same time reported: "When I went down, I found that there were water holes that were bubbling. It is estimated that there must be an underground river underneath."
Fatis was stunned: "Underground river?"
"That's right." The light infantry nodded affirmatively.
Kant looked at the south thoughtfully and speculated: "It is estimated that there is an underground river with abundant water at the bottom of this Nalen Desert, and the Sentinel Oasis should also originate from this underground river." /
"It should be like this." Fatis nodded in agreement.
Oasis and wells do not appear strangely in the desert, and the reason for them is that there are underground rivers flowing in the stratum.
After all, the bottom of the sand layer is the soil layer, which can store a lot of water.
"That's right."
Fatis suddenly thought of something and said to Kant: "Lord Lord, remember you said that not far from the gnoll, there is a natural salt mine formed after the lake dried up?"
"That's right." Kant nodded.
Thinking of the situation that he had reconnaissance, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "There are also a lot of gnolls there."
Fatis looked solemn: "I think we are busy again."
"This is necessary." Kant chuckled lightly, his face still calm, but his eyes were a bit hot: "Those white flowers are still waiting for us there." "This is necessary." /
Since this situation is brought up, choose to resolve it as soon as possible.
Kant's character is decisive, and one does not like procrastination.
The gnoll tribe has been reduced to ashes, and even if we continue to search, we can't find much of value.
Even the coarse salt collected by the gnolls has been completely turned into coke, making it impossible to eat at all.
For Kant, even the salt mines are about to be acquired. What if these coarse salts are lost? To finally obtain the source of salt production is to obtain an almost inexhaustible financial path!
The charcoal of the Sunwaya Mountains.
Natural salt mines in the Narun Desert.
And the two water sources that Kant controlled.
It means that it is the first-class white salt that only appears in noble banquets.
The price per bag is almost equal to the same weight of silver.
Even poor-quality coarse salt can pull out large silver coins in the pockets of nobles and gentlemen. This profit is no less than robbery!
"Keep going!"
Kant rode on his horse and waved forward.
Behind him, 41 heavily armed Swadian light infantry lined up neatly, growing like a snake.
The 46 Swadian heavy cavalry were at the back and pressed their speed. They were inconvenient to move even with their horses and their armored body. Although the horses were not completely immersed in the sand, they could advance at the same speed. Can't compare to plain.
Both Kant and Phatis understood this fact.
Five Sarandian riders in chain mail and iron helmets served as scouts.
Riding the Sarandian desert horses that are more suitable for the desert environment, without horse armor, they still seem quite agile when running in the desert. After all, the Sarandians are a desert nation.
Along the way, they also spotted sporadic gnolls.
Seeing Kant's troops was like encountering a demon's troops, and they fled in fright.
Apparently these gnolls were the ones that had been defeated earlier.
Kant and Phatis didn't care about them either.
Now, although his troops are less than 100 in number, their actual combat power has not only doubled, but has increased several times compared to the 300 he had before!
Just looking at the equipment of these troops, the iron armor under the linen robes can understand that they are all elites in a hundred battles.
In the Principality of Lions, it can be counted as a small elite army led by nobles.
The march continues.
A horse pulls a horse to move the carriage, neither fast nor slow.
However, since they found the water well, the people of Kant didn't feel much pity for the water stored in the water bag. After all, there was a ready-made road from the gnoll tribe to the natural salt mine, and it only took one day to go back and forth.
When Kant was investigating, it took less than half a day to ride the horse~IndoMTL.com~ The gnoll had already stepped out of the road, and the hard sand layer was the best help for the wheels and horseshoes.
Take a break at noon.
After eating lunch and drinking enough water, after resting, Kant and the others continued to set off at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Time passed.
The sun is gradually sloping westward.
Dusk comes.
They are also about to reach the natural salt mine.
A very conspicuous sign, the mummified gnoll at the top of the dune, is dragging a long shadow in the evening sun, which is particularly terrifying.
But this time, Kant is not just bringing those few desert robbers, but a well-organized heavy cavalry and infantry, and the combat effectiveness is quite strong!
Rush straight up the dunes.
The Swadian Light Infantry, who felt in the way, kicked out and knocked down the gnoll corpse tied to a wooden post.
Right under the sand dunes in front of you.
These gnolls, who have known the demise of the gnoll tribe, are packing their things and seem to be preparing to evacuate.
Kant squinted slightly.
He found quite a few interesting guys.
Because in his eyes, he found more than 30 gnolls, wearing chain mail and holding two-handed tomahawks, just like an overseer urging other thinner gnolls, carrying bags of gnolls. Salt ready to go.
