Lord of the Oasis Chapter 11: .Desert Bandit Stronghold
The 10 Swadian farmers have a clear division of labor.
Some people went to the Consulate and brought wooden ladders, while others climbed up the roof and fetched rattan baskets. At the same time, they found scissors, which were used to cut off bunches of date palm branches for easy picking and drying.
Dates are still in the fresh stage of ripening and need to be handled with care.
Of course, these farmers still understand.
After all, they are all good farmers who came out of the fields. As long as they are careful and careful, this is not a problem for them.
This task, Kant gave these peasants a peace of mind.
Now he has other things.
For example, Desert Bandit Stronghold.
This quest reward was obtained from the cavalry of Kant and the Principality of Lions at dusk yesterday, who risked their lives to exterminate the gnoll tribe on the sentry oasis.
According to the judgment of the system task, the rewards obtained for this kind of task with the danger of destroying the whole army are of high level.
"That's a little curious."
In Kant's mind, thinking has been instantly connected with the system.
On the retina of the eye, the data card of the item appeared at the same time, and it could be clearly seen that it was a sandstone-built house, and a soldier with a horse, wearing leather armor and holding a spear happened to pass by the door.
There is no doubt that this should be the literal desert robber.
But Kant was slightly taken aback.
"Desert Bandit?"
He couldn't help frowning slightly, as if thinking of something.
In the system of the previous life, in the territory of the Sultanate of Sarand, there was a wild monster with this name, and they appeared in groups in the vast sand sea, looting caravans and villagers, and they were all evil. gangster.
Even early in the game, sensible players rarely get involved in the deserts infested by these desert bandits.
"Is it really these guys?" Kant swallowed.
Surprise flashed in his eyes.
If it is really in the system, those bandits who whirl through the desert like a whirlwind, then it is definitely a huge reward for the current sentry oasis, even more than the 20 date palms that can provide additional rations Trees are precious.
The heart is excited, but Kant's face remains calm.
In his childhood, he learned how to hide his true emotions with calm.
Walk quickly towards the south side of the Sentinel Oasis.
After bypassing the spring, the area where the Consultative Hall is located will be the residential area and handicraft area of "Dehrim" in the future. This is the area he has divided. If trade is prosperous in the future, even a commercial area will be developed.
The area where the 6 Populus euphratica trees and 20 date palm trees are located on the north side is purely an agricultural area.
Although there is not even half an mu of arable land in the sentry oasis, considering the future development of the fiefs, if you don't have your own food output, you will be choked by others.
Naturally, Kant would not give up farming, even if the yield was extremely low.
Even the thought in his mind, if there is a chance, he will send personnel to the Lion Principality opposite the Sunwaya Mountains, dig a lot of soil and bring it back, and use this stupid method to increase the arable area of the sentry oasis.
After all, it takes about 3 days for the cavalry to travel from the Sentinel Oasis to the Sangwaya Mountains, and only 7 days for the carriage and infantry.
A week's distance is affordable for Kant's eagerness to develop an oasis!
"Lord Lord."
Near the Consulate, 10 Swadian militiamen are on standby.
Seeing Kant coming over, they bowed their heads respectfully to say hello to show their respect.
"Hmm."
Kant nodded, without any extra arrangements, just responded: "Stay vigilant."
The threat of gnolls is still lingering in the dark. Not only the 10 Swadian militiamen who are on standby, but even the 20 Swadian recruits are also patrolling the surrounding dunes. As long as there is a situation , they will quickly retreat to the vicinity of the Consulate, and join the 50 Swadian peasants to defend against the enemy.
Although there are only 80 people, as long as they maintain the courage to fight for their homeland, they all have polearms and form a tight formation, even 200 gnolls cannot defeat them.
Besides, Kant is about to usher in his new army.
Desert Bandit.
Coming to the side of the Consular Hall, Kant carefully inspected the terrain.
As long as this [Desert Bandit Stronghold] is confirmed to be built, a second building will appear in the Sentinel Oasis. At the same time, this building is also related to the combat arms that Kant can currently possess.
"The system is built on the east side of the Consulate."
Kant finally decides.
And as his voice fell, a large stream of data instantly appeared on the retina in his eyes.
Next to the Consular Hall in front of him, a simple building made of stone and wood appeared quickly, and it still didn't take 2 seconds. The building that was still in the form of a data card before was truly embodied in this world.
From the system, Desert Bandit stronghold.
Kant's eyes looked at it, this building is a single house built with stone as a base and wood.
The visual area is about 100 square meters, and it is about 3 meters high. It is much shorter than the 6 meters high administrative hall next to it. However, there are more than 20 square meters next to the house. The stables are made of wood.
"Susu."
A few slight sniffles came, but Kant's expression was slightly taken aback.
"Really someone?"
Kant's eyes twitched slightly, and he confirmed that he definitely heard correctly.
Because the obvious sniffing sound just now was exactly the sound made by the common movements of horses, it meant that there were indeed horses in the stable, and it also meant that there were people in this building.
The narrow wooden door was pushed open from the inside.
Five sturdy men wearing linen robes and holding spears walked out quickly, their faces tanned by the sun, full of hideous flesh, but their expressions were extremely respectful.
"The humble we salute you, your honorable lord." The five people respectfully saluted and said hello.
"Well, good."
Kant nodded slightly, and the corners of his mouth also smiled.
The joy in the depths of his eyes is extremely strong, because he guessed right, these five strong men are desert robbers who used to gang up in groups in the Sultanate of Sarand and ran rampant like a sandstorm!
Under the seemingly simple linen robes, he is wearing fine cowhide armor.
Although he is holding a 2-meter spear in his hand, the leather round shield and flanged hammer for close combat are hung on the back waist, and the bulging leather bag on the back is neatly sized 4 short javelins.
Coupled with the desert horses in the stables, it is their reliance on the sand and sea.
Whether they charge horses with guns, or throw heavy and deadly short javelins around the enemy, they are all good at it.
In close combat, the skinned round shield can resist the enemy's attack, and the flanged hammer, which is specially used for breaking armor and belongs to blunt strikes, will make the more well-equipped enemies feel the death. threaten.
"Very good, really good."
With a smile on the corner of Kant's mouth, he asked, "Is there only five of you in this stronghold?"
"Yes, Lord." The five desert robbers nodded.
At the same time, another person explained: "If you are willing to pay 30 dinars per person, then 1 desert robber will follow you every week, and the maintenance fee you will pay in the future is only 12 dinars. Weekly."
"It feels good." Kant nodded.
Although the recruitment cost of 30 dinars is high, and the weekly maintenance cost of 12 dinars is also very expensive, in Kant's view, these are acceptable, because the own value of these fierce bandits is placed in here.
This is the best of the 2 tiers.
For example, the level 2 troops currently possessed by Kant, 10 Swadian militiamen, are much stronger in comparison.
It can even be said that if the tactics are properly arranged, these 5 desert robbers can easily kill all the 10 Swadian militiamen without losing one person, even if these militiamen are equipped with iron-clad heavy spears~ IndoMTL.com~ This is the brutality they have honed in the harsh desert.
Kant asked: "Can we recruit now?"
These desert robbers did not continue to answer, but became very quiet after explaining, because next, the system took over from them and answered Kant's question.
"Can recruit."
The system's prompt sound appeared in Kant's ears: "Do you choose to recruit?"
"Recruit." Kant nodded.
【Recruit: Desert Bandit ×1】
[costs 30 dinars]
A prompt box appears, and then, in the stronghold made of sandstone and wood, the wooden door is pushed open again.
A desert robber who was almost dressed came out and quickly stood with the other 5 companions, looking very strong. Although he had a compliment on Kant's face, when his eyes swept to other areas, he still carried With a gangster-like look.
It's as if it's about to be plundered at any time.
"With these six desert robbers, it is basically a lot safer."
Kant looked at them with great satisfaction.
These six desert robbers are not ordinary infantry, but real cavalry, and equipped with spears, they can be used as ferocious assault cavalry. enemy troops.
It's really easy to deal with those primitive tribal gnolls.
"Lord Lord, Lord Lord."
Just when Kant was secretly satisfied, a hurried shout came from behind him.
Turning his head slightly, he saw that it was a Swadian peasant, holding a dilapidated clay pot in his hand, walking towards this side quickly, still shouting, "We seem to have found something!"
