Lord of the Oasis Chapter 101: .Really needed value
Asage's body was like a rag bag, picked up by farmers outside and intended to be burned.
There has never been peace between races.
Kant would never let go of this high-level gnoll who knew his own existence, especially when Asage showed the wisdom and brains of a human, it was doomed to death, it was only a matter of time.
Because Kant needed it to tell the situation on the coast of Mannheim.
When you understand the details, its real value is gone.
Kant naturally doesn't care what the situation in the Greymane Kingdom and the coast of Mannheim it says is true or false. He only needs to know that there is such a place on the opposite side of the Naron Desert.
It reminded him of Middle Eastern deserts.
Businessmen from the Middle East crossed the desert to the coast of the eastern Mediterranean to resell their wares to European traders.
This is an extremely profitable trade.
In particular, Kant owns a salt mine, which can produce a large amount of high-quality refined white salt, which can still allow this trade to continue, because the races on the coast of Mannheim are not only the gray mane kingdom of the gnoll.
There is also the gnoll kingdom with prosperous maritime trade, which belongs to the elf council of the colony.
Offended the gnoll, and these two.
Kant, from the southern part of the Nalen Desert, is a businessman who has come from afar. He is a trustworthy friend. He is definitely not close at hand, and he will annex other racial forces of the other party at any time.
The principle of far-reaching and near-attacking prevails in any world.
What's more, no one would go to war in a foolish way.
After all, humans are not very patient gnolls.
This is the reason for Manid's optimism. As a Nord who came to Calradia across the sea, he understands this truth, because deserts are not oceans, and can be reached by wind and waves.
As long as Sentinel Oasis maintains friendly trade with the races of the Mannheim coast, even Greymane Kingdom business can be done.
In the face of interests, hatred is only a means of politicians.
Of course, just before that, the expeditionary force of the Greymane Kingdom would definitely be defeated in the Naron Desert. If they occupied the Sentinel Oasis, it would be an absolute failure for Kant and the others.
Kant needs to come up with a victory to prove himself against the forces on the coast of Mannheim.
Cowards cannot protect their own interests.
In the Consultative Hall, Kant had a very cautious conversation with Manid and Fatis. Since he has decided to embark on this road, he should plan as soon as possible, especially in the face of those gnolls in the Greymane Kingdom. It is possible at any time. In the event of an attack, prepare as soon as possible.
While the three of them were talking, the sound of hooves came from outside the wooden door.
The rider of Salander pushed the door and came in. After a respectful salute, he reported: "Lord Lord, we have returned from our inspection."
"Well, fine." Kant nodded.
5 Salander riders lead a cavalry team of 40 desert robbers. Even 46 Swadian heavy cavalry must be handled with caution. After all, these light cavalry with short javelins cannot be beaten at close range. , completely able to fight and run, harassing like flies, which is very simple for the gangsters from the Sarand desert.
"We also captured a group of gnolls," the Salander rider continued to report.
"How much?" Kant asked.
"About 120 of them, they are more difficult to catch. It took over 300 gnolls to kill them before these guys were scared and surrendered." The Salander rider shrugged, his tone a little regretful: "Otherwise, more prisoners would be captured."
But Kant's face was slightly stunned, and he asked: "120 captives?"
"That's right." The Salander rider nodded affirmatively.
Kant couldn't help but praise: "Well done."
He had long expected that these bandits armed with machetes would have no problem slaughtering the small gnolls who were scattered, but he did not expect that they could capture 120 gnolls.
According to 30 dinars each, it can bring 3600 dinars of craftsmanship to Kant.
"The captive trade really makes money."
Kant couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time instructed the Salander rider: "Take it to the training ground and take care of it."
"Understood." The Salander rider took orders and left.
However, Kant also had some regrets, and said to Manid and Fatis next to him: "I suddenly regret killing that high-level gnoll Asage. I really don't know how many dinars he can sell."
"We'll know when those expeditions arrive." Manid smiled comfortingly.
The Naron Desert will exhaust the last strength of the gnoll expeditionary army. Kant and the others, who are stuck in the fortress, can completely watch these gnolls sit and wait to die. When they are weakest, they will launch a fatal blow and win the victory.
This is Kant's strategic plan.
"Go out and see."
Kant stood up and walked outside.
Manid and Phatis also stood up and followed.
So many gnoll captives are indeed good news. When Zivadin's caravan arrives, he will be able to replenish Kant's denar deposit, which has already consumed more than half.
Go out of the Consulate.
Kant was walking along the street, the 5-meter-high city wall obscuring his view in the distance.
The continuous sandy sea that can be enjoyed at any time has now been blocked by the city wall and cannot be enjoyed at any time.
This may also be a pity.
But Kant smiled and shook his head, throwing the thoughts out of his mind. Without these city walls, it is estimated that when the gnoll expedition arrives, he will be forced to withdraw from the sentry oasis, and he will also lead wolves into the house and take the lion principality. Those greedy aristocrats are attracted to be able to reluctantly defeat these gnoll expeditions who came for plunder and aggression.
This is a guarantee of safety!
Going to the training ground of the military area on the east side, in the open field, hundreds of gnolls are squatting on their hands and feet tied with hemp ropes.
Swarms of desert robbers are waiting beside their horses.
There are also several desert robbers with reckless personalities, riding on horses, carrying machetes in circles with the group of captive gnolls.
The flamboyant appearance, the bad jokes, and the dirty jokes immediately attracted the laughter of the desert robbers, but made these gnoll captives look even more pitiful.
"Why do you think I'm the villain in the play?"
Kant shrugged helplessly.
Fatis didn't answer, but Manid nodded affirmatively: "Look at these little cuties, it's really pitiful, I don't think we should abuse them, after all, they are walking dinars."
"I like that statement." Kant nodded with a smile.
Walking quickly, the desert robbers also found Kant.
One by one hurriedly and solemnly stood by, and at the same time, they all greeted Kant respectfully, showing great respect.
"You did a good job."
Seeing the respectful looks of these desert robbers, Kant nodded secretly and asked, "Are there any casualties in the process?"
"No, my lord, they are weak like chickens," replied a desert robber.
Suddenly everyone roared with laughter.
But because Kant is here, they all seem very polite. Although they are gangsters, they are also gangsters who have been adapted by Zhao'an. They have left a bad image before, but they don't want to appear in front of their lord .
Kant didn't care about their restrained appearance.
It's good to have no casualties.
The light cavalry formed by these desert robbers is currently one of his trump cards. It is not worthwhile to kill a few people at will.
"Watch them." Kant told the desert robbers.
Turn his head to Manid behind him and said, "You come to arrange these prisoners. It is estimated that the caravan of Zhivadin is coming soon. When the time comes, you will directly sell these prisoners to them and buy more food and tools."
"Understood." Manid nodded, his occupation is a businessman, so he can do these things very easily.
Kant said to Fatis again: "You too, go to work, arrange sentries and patrols to ensure the safety of the sentry oasis."
"Yes." Fatis responded.
Basically everything was arranged, Kant nodded and walked to other places. He planned to inspect his territory.
After the upgrade, he'll take a good look.
Coming to the eastern city gate, Kant walked like a spread on the city wall.
Also observing his territory.
In the entire Sentinel Oasis, there is still a lot of vacant land, which is reserved for future construction.
Because the funds are not sufficient, it can only be used as an open-air warehouse for storing sundries.
200 farmers are busy.
But for the current fortress, the number of civilians is still very small, and a lot of work cannot be carried out for the time being.
For example, the harvest of Achnatherum splendens occupied many civilians.
In addition to feeding the livestock, processing the forage, and leveling the land, a lot of manpower is required.
“There is still a shortage of people.”
Kant sighed deeply.
The special effect of houses can attract civilians, but the activation of this special effect is only activated when there is a shortage of people and there is room in the house. Now that several houses are full of people, this special effect will not appear at all.
To increase the population, in addition to temporary system characters, you can only build more houses.
Kant had expected this.
The area of the entire "Drehem" fortress is roughly half a hectare.
This is only the area inside the city walls.
And this is enough for the current territory construction, covering most of the buildings.
Once all the buildings are finished~IndoMTL.com~ Maybe the inside of the city walls will not be empty and crowded.
This will also lead to the next upgrade of "Drehem", when it will become a real castle, and the buildings within these walls will become the internal buildings, which are the core area of the castle's continued expansion.
"Well, here comes the caravan."
Kant noticed something out of the corner of his eye, turned his head to look, it was a caravan.
The familiar caravan leader rode in front, followed by 6 caravan guards, and 12 sentries guarded 5 carriages on foot. The same configuration as when they first arrived, the caravan from Zhivadin .
