Lord of the Oasis Chapter 123: .The long river of time is flowing

"The system gives detailed data on the clock tower."

Kant's mind flickers.

On the retina, detailed data from the system pops up immediately.

[Ding...system prompt]

【Bell Tower: Military building. A stone-built building topped with a small bronze-cast bell for daily chimes or alarms. Building Feature: Emergency Mobilization. When the war comes, ringing the bronze bell can recruit all civilians to be armed to protect their homes. During the defense of the city, all civilians will be temporarily promoted to recruits. Construction cost 1000 dinars and took 10 days. ]

The data is clear.

Kant raised his eyebrows slightly. The effect of this building is more than extraordinary.

Just the one and only!

So far, Kant is the only building with characteristics that Kant has seen.

[Emergency mobilization]: When the war comes, ringing the bronze bell can recruit all civilians to arm and protect their homes. During the defense of the city, all civilians will be temporarily promoted to recruits.

"It seems a little, familiar."

Kant licked the corner of his mouth.

This architectural feature can almost be regarded as a magical skill when defending the city.

When there are a large number of civilians in the fortress, if the bronze bell is rang to officially activate this architectural feature, then Kant will instantly add 500 Swadian recruits who have received basic military training and have a certain combat foundation. .

Although it can't fight against powerful enemies.

But it can delay the occupation and resist the enemy's attack in a short time.

"Build the clock tower."

Kant's mind makes decisions instantly.

[Ding...system prompt]

[The construction of the bell tower cost 1000 dinars and took 10 days to start construction. ]

The system responds.

"10 days." Kant's mouth curled slightly: "Simple."

This time-consuming, he can still afford to wait.

Although the gnoll expedition may appear at any time, Kant still remembers that Asage, who was pulled out by him before to kill, said that it would take at least 30 days to cross the Naron Desert.

This is a normal transport caravan.

If it is an army trying to invade on a large scale, the preparation time will definitely be longer.

A military strike against another country across the desert has never been seen on Earth.

Deserts often represent forbidden areas and belong to the moat. If it wasn't for the gnoll's talent to endure high temperature and low temperature, then Kant would not take the Graymane Kingdom on the coast of Mannheim in his heart now.

Ordinary human troops have difficulty traversing mountains.

Not to mention the desert.

Kant also doesn't believe that those high-level gnolls dare to give up all supplies and come here like a broken vessel.

Without logistics, it means defeat.

It's not that easy to fight for war.

Even if the Mongols who once set off a wave of terror on the earth and traversed the Eurasian continent, fought to support the war during the unprecedented western expedition, they also ensured a certain degree of logistical supplies for the troops.

"Wait." Kant was stunned.

Thinking of fighting to support wars and logistical supplies, he seems to think of something more.

Slightly frowned, Kant murmured: "War support war..."

For a moment he seemed to understand.

The gnoll will definitely fight for the war. With the help of the rest of the sentry oasis, when the human kingdoms do not know the advanced gnoll troops, they use the fastest speed to break through the stone pass and successfully establish a foothold in the North County of the Principality of Lions. .

A steady stream of follow-up troops will arrive, slowly encroaching on the North County of the Lion Principality.

At that time, there will be plenty of food, plenty of drinking water, and the fortifications of the stone pass. These expedition forces will be able to form their own faction. They can harass and invade North County, and retreat to the oasis of sentries.

If you fail, hold on to the sentry oasis and you have a chance to start all over again.

"Is that so?"

Kant raised his eyebrows slightly and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

Although it is speculation.

But it is this kind of speculation, he really speculated about the strategic plan of the Greymane Kingdom.

Combined with Asage's description.

The kingdom of Greymane, which is seriously affected by foreign affairs, obviously regards this as a breakthrough to take off.

Plundering a lot of human wealth, the gnolls on the coast of Mannheim will definitely recover again and compete with the developing lizardmen and elves, rather than slowly falling and becoming fish on the chopping block of the two tribes .

Of course, Kant wouldn't have thought either.

The troops of the Greymane Kingdom are here, not just to plunder.

And conquest.

These highly intelligent gnolls fully want to conquer the human kingdom and become their colony.

Let the human kingdom become a conquered colony, and the constant blood-sucking by them is what is most needed.

It's just that Greymane Kingdom can't imagine it.

The Sentinel Oasis has welcomed its lord.

And it's been built into a fortress where the blood of the gnolls can flow!

………………

A construction team of nearly 400 people arrived in Suno.

The leader is the chubby construction leader who is said to have made his fortune from construction.

When Kant saw him again, he found that his chubby appearance was a bit richer. He didn't look like the honest and capable construction leader before, but like a landlord who contracted a manor.

"Dear Lord Kant."

The construction leader saw Kant and immediately saluted respectfully: "Your faithful servant greets you!"

"Pay attention to the name." Kant shook his head, his personality was still the same.

Looking at the more than 400 construction workers he brought, and hundreds of carriages loaded with wood and stones, Kant nodded slightly: "The next step will be a big project."

"That's right, Lord Kant."

The team leader quickly smiled: "But don't worry, there will be no problem with the quality."

"This is the best." Kant nodded.

Although this guy likes to ride the horses, the quality of the house built is really good.

Without continuing to chat with him, Kant gave a few casual orders and returned to the Consulate Hall.

The planning of the 43 houses has been completed, and there are foundations painted with lime powder on the ground, including the entire south side, forming a total of four streets, basically occupying all the vacant land reserved in advance.

Once these buildings are completed, there will not be much open space in the fortress.

The tranquility of the Sentinel Oasis is gone.

The noise takes over the fortress.

Everyone is busy.

Especially the 400 construction workers who come and go in the southern residential area, shouting and coordinating with each other to carry wood and stone, the entire residential area has become a construction site, and these hard-working workers are also using I did my best to build the 43 houses and build a brand new tower.

This was built for Lord Kant, and their heartfelt dedication.

Only for the Fatis, these construction workers...

It's too much.

If they didn't know, they were all construction workers from Suno, and Fatis would definitely arrange for troops to be stationed next to them. After all, once so many people rebelled, the entire "Drehem" fortress would definitely be in chaos. into a group.

Though none of these construction workers are as effective as the militia.

But these numbers are still troublesome.

Breaking, smashing, looting and burning, those mobs are very good at destroying although they can't fight with the enemy on the battlefield.

Even if the army is finally mobilized to suppress, it will disturb Lord Kant.

It's already a fault in Fatis' view.

Actually, even the archers stationed on the city wall were also alarmed by so many construction workers below, especially after Fatis's reminder, they focused some of their attention on them.

In the attic of the city walls, the Swadian crossbowmen will stare at the workers.

The Wikia archer at the top of the arrow tower did not hide that he had bent his bow and arrow at all, and would shoot anything abnormal, which made the construction workers below terrified.

They come from the Wikia snowfield, and their personalities are as cold as snow.

For this reason, the construction team leader could only ask Kant for help.

These archers, with such cold eyes, are like looking at dead people. These honest construction workers really can't work seriously.

Kant can only issue an order to lift his high internal vigilance.

After all, these construction workers are from the system, and their loyalty can be guaranteed.

Time flies fast.

The foundation of the building has been laid.

The weekend is over.

Monday is coming.

Compared with last week, the size of the troops has increased by a little Kant, and directly paid more than 6,000 dinars of military expenses.

However, with the Gnoll Addendum sold before, the remaining dinars are still worth over 10,000.

This further deepens Kant's idea of ​​setting up a slave-catching team.

The slave trade is really profitable.

But with the arrival of Monday, the caravan leader Jocelyn also said goodbye to Kant and returned to Zhivadin.

The new caravan will not arrive until next month.

The slave trade can only be temporarily stopped.

After all, there is no acquirer. Even if Kant allows those desert robbers to capture hundreds of gnolls, they will end up wasting food in vain, and may even cause problems due to the custody.

Wait for the arrival of the caravan next month, and it doesn't matter if you take more prisoners.

Days go by.

43 houses, from foundation to wall.

The construction workers did their due diligence, and the progress of the project improved rapidly.

Arrived on Friday, finally all the houses, all completed.

50 standard Swadia houses were built side-by-side ~IndoMTL.com~ in a uniform style and material, filling the otherwise empty south to truly make up the current residential area, forming four brand new streets.

And right on the edge of a residential area.

The construction of the 5-meter-high bell tower in the area near the Consular Hall is also coming to an end.

It can be expected that in two days, this clock tower, which is responsible for telling the time in peacetime and recruiting peasants to become recruits in wartime, will also be completed soon.

Time flies fast, and so does construction.

In a post in the southern Nalen Desert.

The 10 recruits left behind are entertaining Manid and the others who have returned from Stone Pass.
