Lord of the Oasis Chapter 122: .Caravan to the pass

That round of desert, sentry oasis.

The sky is bright, and the traces of the night have not completely faded away.

It's just dawn.

Last night's banquet did not lower the guard, and the soldiers still maintained sufficient vigilance.

These outstanding soldiers from the three countries of Swadia, Sarand, and Vikia did not forget their responsibilities even after drinking. On the contrary, they were worried that there would be a sneak attack by the enemy, and everyone didn't sleep deeply.

Dawn has just come.

At the Arrow Tower, the night-shifting Vycian archers are replaced.

And the fortified wall of the attic, behind the shooting window, Swadian crossbowmen with crossbows are on guard.

Although there are 50 Vykian archers and 50 Swadian crossbowmen scattered on the 4 walls, there are not many at all, but within the walls of the "Drehem" fortress is only half a hectare. Appearance, if there is a problem, troops can be dispatched to support at any time.

Although the fort is small, it is easy to defend.

Outside the Consulate.

Kant walked out, refreshed, and had lost the tiredness he had when he just woke up.

Going out of the room, Kant walked quickly to the right, and at the same time asked in a deep voice, "Are you all ready?"

"Okay." Manid was following him.

The two came to the sugar workshop.

The bags of coarse salt that had been piled up on the streets had now disappeared.

In their place were brand new sacks stacked on wooden shelves along the side of the city wall, and even two layers of linen on the wooden shelves to keep the surface clean.

These new sacks contain fine white salt boiled last night.

It's all because of the extra processing last night and finally rushing to work.

"Lord Kant, Lord Manid."

At the entrance of the sugar factory, farmers and peasant women who had been busy all night and hadn't slept hurriedly saluted.

Looking at the dark circles on their eyes, I know that they are really working hard for this. Kant also nodded understandingly: "Don't be too polite, you have been busy all night, and have a good rest today."

"Thank you for your kindness." The peasants and peasant women saluted and left gratefully.

"Rest." Kant nodded with a smile.

These territorial people are all for his son, and the kindness he shows is justified.

The next work will not require them either.

Manid Kaihui reported: "Lord Kant, if there is no other situation, I want to pack up immediately and lead the team to set off before noon, so that according to the time, I can return with a full load of supplies before next Sunday. ."

"Okay, that's it." Kant nodded.

From Sentinel Oasis to Stone Pass, even if the correct shortest route is known, it will take 4 days.

This is still a team of cavalry and carriages.

If it is a simple infantryman, it will take longer. It is estimated that it will be like when Kant first came to the sentry oasis. He must travel for 7 days in the barren environment of the cruel Nalen Desert.

Time waits for no one, and Kant doesn't have much time to waste.

Soon, the peasants came over with a carriage pulled by two draught horses. It was the draught horse and carriage that came here with Kant.

Farmers join forces.

The 20 bags of fine white salt stacked on wooden racks are all loaded into the carriage.

Just outside the street, 2 other carriages are also carrying stuff, but they are supplies across the Naron Desert.

For example, fresh water and food for daily consumption.

This is guaranteed for several days.

10 Sarandian riders, and 20 elite desert robbers, are also ready.

After all, when Kant went to the Stone Pass last time, he encountered some bad memories. In order to prevent Manid from encountering those situations again, the necessary guards are absolutely indispensable.

In the company of 10 Swadian recruits.

Holding a hunting crossbow and wearing iron-lined leather armor.

He carries a wooden shield and a 2-meter heavy spear on his back, with a fighting **** and quiver on his waist.

The outermost is also covered with a linen robe.

This is the 10 peasants who last time Kant led a team to the salt mine. They can be upgraded after defeating a few gnolls, and they are directly upgraded to Swadian militia. They just led the team to the post station and are responsible for the future. The reception and security of the inn.

Soon, all three carriages were loaded with supplies.

The soldiers are also ready.

"Pay attention to Stone Pass."

Outside the city gate, Kant had a serious face and told Manid, "I think you understand."

"Understood." Manid nodded.

"Take care." Fatis also came to see him off.

"Goodbye."

Manid waved to the two of them, got on his horse, and started to lead the team.

Six sturdy haulers pulled three wagons and soon disappeared behind the sand dunes.

This is Manid's journey to Stone Pass on behalf of Kant to trade with the local lord, Baron Dylan.

As long as this salt trade is successful, the future Sentinel Oasis will gain an ally that can withstand most storms, and also gain a long-term agent, a model of win-win cooperation.

Kant stands in front of the city gate.

He looked very serious, looking at the sand sea in front of him, he said solemnly: "It's up to Manid."

"He won't disappoint," Fatis reassured.

"Yes." Kant nodded.

Manid, from a family of merchants in the Nord Kingdom, is a business genius.

However, what Kant was anxious and worried about was not business issues, but because of his own identity, whether there would be greater exclusion and counterattacks against the historical legacy of the Stone Pass.

After all, the two waves of people he met when he left last time still weighed on his heart.

This is already a symptom.

After being exiled to the Nalen Desert, Kant's figure continued to set foot in the Principality of Lions, which many people do not want to see.

So there is a robbery.

Baron Dylan's vassal knights, leading a group of armed militia, wanted to rob him. This was a joke, so Kant led the cavalry to kill these overpowered guys.

Perhaps the robbery was really an accident, coveting the armor of his subordinates.

But the beautiful woman I met first, and the plot of the hero saving beauty, is definitely not that simple.

It's a conspiracy when you think about it now.

Conspiracy directed against him.

Kant frowned slightly, turned his head to Fatis and said: "Arrange the troops, we are now at a critical moment before transformation, tell our soldiers, don't relax, I don't want to see it at such a critical time. , someone will drop the chain."

"Don't worry, Lord Kant." Fatis looked solemn.

"That's it." Kant nodded.

This is the calm before the storm, and the darkness before dawn.

The Crusaders of Greymane Kingdom.

As long as the Sentinel Oasis can survive, the rewards will be excellent.

For example, more top-level troops, safer territory, and the hegemony of the Naron Desert will all be firmly in the hands of Kant, relying on this barren land to grow until the establishment of a real, heart-pounding castle.

Rises amidst this sentry oasis.

Return to the Consulate.

Kant begins planning and planning for the future.

For example, in the current "Drehem" fortress, there is a serious shortage of houses.

Added a city wall attic, where soldiers can sleep without having to continue sleeping in bunkers and tents.

But civilian buildings are still rare.

The most typical is the Swadia house, now there are only seven.

"Systems, build buildings."

Kant frowned slightly, sat in his seat, and gave instructions about the building.

The system pops up a dialog box instantly.

The above is a dense list of the buildings that Kant can build at present.

But he did not hesitate and said directly: "Build 43 houses."

[Ding...system prompt]

[100 dinars per house, 43 houses cost 4300 dinars. ]

【Yes/No option to build? ]

The system prompts you.

"Build!"

Kant's answer is naturally yes.

Although the cost is huge, reaching a terrifying 4,300 dinars, which is one-third of Kant's current savings, but in fact, when 43 houses are built, we know that so many dinars Pretty worth the cost.

7 days from the construction time of the house.

Constructed at the same time, which means Kant will have 43 houses in 7 days.

Add the 7 previously built houses, and that's 50.

According to each house can accommodate 10 people to rest, 50 houses can fully meet the living needs of 500 people.

This also means that Kant can continue to acquire 500 civilians.

Because the properties of the houses still indicate this, when the number of houses is larger than the current number of civilians, it will attract refugees to settle in the village, and in a very short time, the number of civilians in the fortress will be saturated. .

This is also one of the reasons why Kant purchases a large amount of grain.

The more people there are, the more people eat.

But definitely not a waste of food.

So many civilians are not a burden, because Kant can recruit soldiers from among these civilians at any time.

Tier 1 units, Swadian recruits, are derived from civilians.

And when the enemy's offensive is getting stronger and stronger, the attack is getting more and more crazy, causing battle damage to Kant's existing troops, these recruits who have gained experience after days of fighting and can be upgraded to higher arms, just showed their value.

As long as there are civilians.

Then Kant's Sentinel Oasis ~IndoMTL.com~ has a steady stream of reserves.

Even if the elite troops are wiped out, Kant has the opportunity to come back again.

As the defender of the city.

Kant wants to gain a lot of experience in the enemy's siege. It's really simple. Even as long as these recruits and even farmers are responsible for carrying some materials, after the battle is over, the huge amount of experience is enough to make They upgrade.

"And, there's this."

Kant's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the rest of the buildings on the building interface.

He also suddenly noticed a very special building in the list of buildings in the fortress.

The clock tower.
