Lord of the Oasis Chapter 133: .The honor brought by the task
That's right.
Kant determined that, just behind the dunes to the east, the cringing crowd was the refugees.
Standard Swadian attire.
Similar to the refugees who came to the Sentinel Oasis before.
Although the commoners in this world are dressed similarly to the commoners on Calradia, in fact, as long as you carefully observe them, you can know that they are completely different in details, with the style of their own nation.
This made him frown slightly: "Why so much fanfare."
The 40 desert robbers have gone out.
Many people pulled out the scimitars around their waists, as if they were in close quarters combat.
Even if Kant was on the top floor of the Consulate, he could sense that the scabbard had been drawn, and it was the gleaming reflection of the machete that the Sarandians used to do.
But at this moment, a dialog box suddenly appeared on the retina.
[Ding…temporary task release]
[Temporary Mission: Refugees Before the War]
[Quest reward: 1000 reputation, 1 honor]
【Introduction: War, any refugees who take refuge will be a burden. You are now in such a situation, this group of innocent, poor refugees wants to take refuge in you. Did you choose to accept them? ]
The dialog box is a temporary task.
Kant frowned slightly.
He can guess why there are refugees, after all, most of the 50 houses are still vacant.
According to the passive nature of the houses, so many vacant houses will definitely attract many homeless refugees, increasing the civilian population of the "Drehem" fortress.
Like now, about 300 refugees were squatting pitifully on the ground.
Without Kant's orders, they simply could not be civilians here.
Or rather.
It is necessary to determine whether Kant is to complete this temporary task.
The system is right.
During the war, these refugees were all burdens, because there was no chores to do, and no daily tasks to arrange. Even if there was a tower that could recruit all these peasants into recruits and put them into the frontal battlefield, it was estimated that they were all for the enemy's troops. Brushing people's heads is completely used as cannon fodder to die.
Even if these refugees become civilians, they can only waste food.
Kant narrowed his eyes slightly.
Just when he had made up his mind and wanted to communicate with the system, footsteps were heard from the stairs behind him.
Fatis walked up quickly, with a solemn report on his face: "Lord Kant, a group of refugees from Swadia came to the fortress, the number is 310, I heard your reputation for kindness and want to be your ruler. The people under my command, choose to defend against the enemy's attack with you, and contribute my meager strength."
"Yes." Kant nodded slightly: "I see."
The idea of his communication system pauses.
My mind turns slightly.
Kant turned his head to look at Fatis behind him, clenched his fingers slightly, and asked plainly, "Fatis, do you think we need to accept these refugees, after all, we are facing an unknown and powerful enemy. ."
"I think it is necessary." Fatis replied solemnly.
"Tell me what you think." Kant said.
Fatis is sympathetic, but not pedantic.
If the "Drehem" fortress really couldn't take these refugees, he would never agree to take them in.
Slightly pondered.
Fatis organized the language and opened his mouth to report: "Lord Kant, these refugees will become our reserve soldiers. In the continuous war, they can act as fresh blood and replenish blood for the war-damaged troops, which can be very good. In order to avoid a passive situation where our troops cannot even be replenished after being worn out due to long-term combat.”
"Reservists and war potential." Kant squinted slightly: "That's a good point."
"Lord Kant, this is my idea."
Fatis nodded, and at the same time looked at the timid refugees in the dunes outside. Under the machetes of those desert robbers, the refugees who seemed very fearful said softly: "And we currently have enough food. "
Kant did not answer, thinking quietly.
After a long time, he asked Fatis, "How long can our food last?"
"Three months." Fatis replied.
"Three months?" Kant frowned slightly: "This time is still a little short."
While the game, the war will only last 4 days and 5 days.
But in the real world, wars can last for years.
As a fortress of "Drehem" that hangs in the sphere of influence of the Principality of Lions, it is not even an enclave. It is simply an isolated city without reinforcements. Once the enemy is surrounded, it will probably take several months.
Even if Kant occupies the only source of water.
But he doesn't know if there is something special in this world with extraordinary power.
Just like the [Clear Spring Page], you can get clear drinking water.
Kant clearly understood.
The world he is currently in is not the scientific world on Earth in his previous life.
It's a fantasy world of swords and magic!
Once the city is besieged for too long, perhaps Kant's troops will lack food. This is the most terrifying thing in war. Countless lessons in history have proved that lack of food can not only make the morale of the troops drop to the extreme, Even routs and rebellions are possible.
Of course Kant would not take such a risk.
He sometimes gambles, but he doesn't like turning himself into a bargaining chip.
Standing on the top floor, Kant turned to look at the refugees behind the Eastern Dunes.
At the same time, he looked at the half hectare of the city wall below him, and said slowly, "I understand what you mean. Compared with the lack of food, we are actually more short of people."
"Yes." Fatis nodded.
"That's it." With a decision in his heart, Kant said to him: "Let these refugees go to the lake to take a bath, change into clean clothes, and prepare food for them, and I will accept them."
"You are wise." Fatis rubbed his chest respectfully, and then made arrangements immediately.
A dialog box also pops up in front of you.
[Ding…temporary task completed]
[Temporary Mission: Refugees Before the War]
[Quest reward: 1000 reputation, 1 honor]
【Introduction: These homeless refugees thank you for your kindness. As your subjects, they are willing to sacrifice their lives for this place, even if the enemy has raised the butcher's knife and rushed into the fortress, they will also use all their strength to resist. When you choose to accept them as subjects, this is their home. ]
1000 Reputation and 1 Honor will be credited instantly.
Kant looked calm.
Just below the dunes, Fatis is arranging for these refugees to go to the lake on the west side.
When they heard the news of being accepted by the lord, they cheered gratefully from below, excited that they had met the benevolent lord, which was their luck.
But Kant was not kind enough to take them in.
Accepting them also doesn't mean you're lucky.
Faced with the expedition from the Kingdom of Greymane, Kant's "Drehem" fortress stands in the sentry oasis, which is destined to be the main battlefield of the **** battle. Since these refugees choose to join Kant and become civilians, they also cannot escape.
At a critical juncture, along with the emergency bell, walk up the city wall and line up for defense.
War is always cruel.
It seems that there are a large number of civilians who can survive, but I don't know how many are left.
Blood and fire will spawn elite soldiers though.
But in this process, they will first become corpses, paving the way for this blood and fire.
All 40 desert robbers dispersed, and only 10 people served as supervisors. Under the arrangement of Fatis, they took these refugees to wash in the small lake in the pastoral area on the west side, leaving them looking dirty become clean.
At the same time, find the cleanest clothes to wear in the fleeing package.
The refugees became Swadian farmers again.
Has a happy smile on her face.
In the war-torn Calradia continent, there are not many lords who gather refugees and refugees. In the protracted war, the first consideration of these lords is the safety of their castles and towns, and that is enough, because these two things It is the capital that enables them to compete for hegemony on the mainland and maintain their own authority.
As for the villages and those hillbillies, they are at best a necessary addition. As long as you gain the upper hand in the battle and obtain a long-lost peace, there will always be desperate peasants in the front row.
That's why Kant's kindness is so precious.
Same as the vast majority of the refugees who arrived before, these 310 refugees are all men, without any women, children or the elderly, they are all strong laborers.
But according to the system's urine, it doesn't matter if there is a woman.
Kant just thinks about the 50 peasant women he currently owns.
Sturdy arms, strong thighs, and a thick waist like a bucket, the strength covered allows these peasant women to carry logs for hundreds of meters without difficulty.
A woman who rides and chops is no different from a man.
"Be alert."
Kant walked down the top floor of the Consulate with an exhortation to the Reston Rangers.
Received 1 point of honor, and the system mall was opened again for him.
"Start the draw."
Kant thinking communication system.
On the optic film, a treasure chest containing colorful rays of light is opened with the coin of 1 point of honor.
[Ding...you got a "props package"]
[You open the gift package ~IndoMTL.com~ and find it is "Lion Knights Medal"]

Features: When a cavalry general wears this medal, the charging distance of the cavalry unit will be shortened by 30%, and the charge phase will be accelerated. Note: This medal appears to be hiding other secrets, but it has not yet met the conditions. ]
This was a free reward, so Kant didn't take it to heart.
He can open the treasure chest at any time.
The props that appeared made Kant look slightly stunned: "Kingdom of Sarion..."
