Lord of the Oasis Chapter 265: .The trouble encountered by the station
This is Kant's domain.
Although it is in name, it is gradually controlled by him.
Stepping forward slowly, Kant came to the top of the hill, and in front of it was a vast sea of sand. The continuous sand dunes echoed with the hills below in the distance, but the scorching atmosphere from the desert was blowing with the breeze. come.
In this breeze is a cruel confession of civilization.
No civilization can conquer this desert.
Even if it is a gnoll with a talent for patience, and a bereaved dog driven by humans into the desert, they will never be able to return to the North County Territory, which is relatively prosperous to them. Unable to take care of them, they migrated and invaded North County on a large scale, and the end result was a massacre of corpses.
The brutal slaughter ten years ago, even from the North County Territory of the Principality of Lions, to the Sentinel Oasis in the Nalen Desert, hundreds of low-level gnoll tribes were slaughtered, and the hearts of those who remained were slaughtered. Frightened and timid.
It can be seen from Kant.
The tribe of low-level gnolls has been completely dispersed in this desert.
If it's still the same.
Hundreds of gnoll tribes, numbering close to tens of thousands.
It is estimated that even if Kant was canonized as a sentry oasis, he would not dare to take office easily. After all, after the crowd tactics reached the peak, even if he had a quality advantage!
What's more, when I first came to the Nalen Desert, the quality was not dominant.
"What a shame."
Kant sighs, because now is different.
Having initially mastered the Naron Desert, he has established his own foundation here.
Not only does it have a large number of elite soldiers, but also the only large water source in the southern Nalen Desert, the Sentinel Oasis, has established a towering, strong and heavily fortified military castle.
If you want to destroy, you will have to pay a cruel price!
A moment of contemplation on the top of the mountain.
Kant turned his head, and the five desert robbers behind him were still standing respectfully.
On the paved road under the hill, the accompanying 103 top Swadian knights were holding cone-headed guns in a formation ready to set off, quietly waiting for Kant to continue to set off.
Indeed, he won't be waiting here too long.
This pass is important.
Kant also wanted to make arrangements here.
A little pondering, Kant's thinking communication system.
A card that was still floating in my mind immediately shattered.
On the top of the hill next to you, the fluctuations of the void spread, and a two-story building built with neat stones and wood appeared on it. The foundation was solid, and the walls and wood were spliced.
It's the topmost roof, with vents that can be closed at any time.
This building is a post house.
The desert robbers widened their eyes in astonishment from behind.
"For you."
Kant turned his head and said to them: "You can live in this inn in the future, which is much better than a temporary tent." After a pause, Kant also warned: "However, the task of guarding the mountain pass cannot be relaxed, and we must remain vigilant. ."
"Understood, thank you for your kindness, Lord!"
The desert bandits immediately bowed respectfully.
It's obviously more comfortable as a building's post house than a makeshift tent made of linen.
Same as the post station built by Kant at the top of the underground lake, the top of this post station also has a watch tower more than 5 meters high, which allows people to climb up to observe the surrounding situation, facing the unobstructed sand sea outside, In the case of a good field of vision, an abnormal target can be found at a distance of more than a thousand meters.
As a matter of fact, when these desert robbers are stationed in this mountain pass, the most important key building is a combination of guarding, monitoring, reconnaissance or correspondence.
If Kant's troops are sufficient in the future.
It can also form a transportation network between this station and the central station, which is not inferior to the convenient waterway.
"That's it."
Kant walked into the station to check.
The house is well-stocked, and there are plenty of grains and bacon in the pantry.
It seems that there is absolutely no problem in accommodating about 20 people.
As for more, it is necessary to let the troops set up tents around the station as at the central station, otherwise it is impossible to live too many people with these two-story wooden buildings.
But this Yamaguchi post station doesn't need too many people.
The biggest role of this mountain pass is as an outpost of the town of "Aaron".
On weekdays, there are natural supplies from towns.
As for drinking water, it's even simpler.
Kant took a step, walked down the hill, and came to the desert outside the hill.
The paved road originally paved with stones and flagstones reached the mountain pass next to the hill, even the river channel built by Kant. The river channel with a width of about 5 meters seems to be just inside the mountain pass, and the paved road The parallel position is cut off, and the flowing river overflows to form a natural creek, which flows and seeps into the sand layer outside the mountain pass.
As early as a few days ago, the original small river had washed the edge of the desert with an indirect and continuous water source, forming a pit with a length of seven or eight meters and a depth of half a meter, and the sparkling water became a small lake .
Even the scouring of the creek brought soil originating from the Sunwaya Mountains.
In just a few days, just outside the water source, heat-resistant vegetation shrubs appeared.
The vegetation in the desert grows very fast as long as there is water. Looking at the green appearance, it is estimated that it will take a few months to form another small oasis at the location of this mountain pass.
A small oasis created by man.
Seeing this greenery, Kant felt a little more affectionate in his heart.
He turned his head and told the five desert robbers stationed here: "If you are fine on weekdays, just go to the mountains and dig some dirt and cover it around the puddles, which will also make these vegetation grow more lush." /
"Understood." The desert bandits nodded.
This is not a big deal.
Not to mention that Kant ordered them, of course, they must do it with heart.
"Let's go."
Kant saw that there was nothing to do here, so he turned on his horse again.
The 103 Swadian knights behind him immediately crowded over. Kant tapped the horse's belly, shook the reins vigorously, and took the lead in galloping in front of the horse. The hard stone pavement under his feet immediately turned into softer sand. layer.
The roar of the galloping horses disappeared, but there was a dull thud of horses' hooves stomping on the sand, including the dust behind the horses. The team galloped in the desert, and the momentum was strong and majestic, which made people tremble.
Faced with the galloping cavalry, no unit can maintain the balance of mind.
But no one can see it yet.
The path chosen by Kant is to travel behind the hidden dunes.
This is a specially chosen path to avoid contact with the spy caravan that appeared in the Stone Pass. Although it takes a long detour, it can be prevented from coming into contact with the towns in the Sanwaya Mountains.
This is Kant's hole card and secret.
If it is so easy to know, then the situation is not optimistic.
Of course, those spy caravans usually head north, heading towards the sentry oasis. No one would have imagined that Kant established another town in the deep mountains of the Sangwaya Mountains in the southwest. And it can also produce a lot of urgently needed materials in the Nalen Desert. If the development is successful, the Stone Pass and the Principality of Lions may not be needed.
This is the means by which Kant can get rid of those nobles in the Principality of Lions and launch material blockades and restrictions. It will definitely make those nobles who think they can control Kant's lifeline, a logistics base that grit their teeth.
In the traditional impression, the Narun Desert is a barren and uninhabited forbidden area of civilization.
It is true.
But it was different when Kant arrived.
It's even more different when the salt mines are discovered.
The profit of salt can make the nobles endure horrific losses, send mercenaries and slaves to mine salt, and after transporting it, it will be turned into the finest refined salt and sold to countries on the entire continent.
Although the value is high, it is worth the price!
The salt purchased from the distant dwarves is not expensive, but there are still countless merchants who endure the long journey and dangerous bandits on the way, and bring back the salt of Baihuahua.
It's all caused by the greed of expensive salt, or equivalent silver coins!
Now, in the depths of the desert, within easy reach, salt mines have been discovered.
What about losing slaves and mercenaries?
For those nobles ~IndoMTL.com~ the most they lack is people, and the most lacking is the desperadoes who are willing to give their lives for the silver coins in their hands.
And sitting high at the top, they made a fortune eating human blood steamed buns.
Of course, the only difference.
In the hands of these nobles, there is no blood, only a piece of employment document.
Some are desperate desperados, greedy mercenaries, businessmen who want to speculate, become partners of these employment documents, and use their own lives to make a **** path for the nobles, even if it costs their own lives. No hesitation, because the attractiveness of silver coins is infinite!
After a half-day trek, Kant arrived at the central station at dusk, but facing the light of the dusk, Kant squinted slightly because he found an unusual scene.
Just next to the inn, a large number of merchants and carriages gathered, and there seemed to be a lot of denunciation.
Inside the inn, 10 Swadian militiamen are standing at the top with crossbows.
Just outside the inn, 120 Salander riders lined up neatly, Rolf was standing at the front, and behind him, there were 220 desert robbers, holding spears and machetes restlessly, looking like ferocious.
There is a lot of voices, and it seems that the two sides are about to clash.
"Go and have a look."
Kant frowned and led his troops down the dunes.
The dull sound was transmitted on this gentle desert plain, awakening the two waves of troops that were still facing each other in the distance.
Compared to the surprise of Rolf and the others, the team of businessmen was a lot more flustered, especially the caravan guards with weapons on the periphery, showing fear and panic.
Because the comers are hundreds of heavy cavalry!
