Lord of the Oasis Chapter 302: .Kant’s chosen retreat

The system pops up a dialog on Kant's retina.

【Ding…Special task release】

【Special Mission: Choice】

【Task selection: forward/backward】

【Mission introduction: You can choose to move forward and go deep into the desert to explore detailed information, you may encounter danger, and you may also get opportunities. You can also choose to step back and return to your castle to get ready to go, and use caution to ensure your own safety and seek more benefits in the future. The choice is yours in all of this. ]

The system said it clearly.

But it was a special task from the system, and it was still beyond his expectations for Kant to make the determination himself.

"Choose."

Kant pondered slightly.

My eyes scanned the dialog box on the retina, carefully scanning the text in the introduction.

Unfortunately, no systematic metaphor was found. The choice was left to Kant, and he personally chose to go forward or backward this time, and then made a completely different result.

It's entirely my choice.

Kant pondered.

Looking up at the vast sand sea ahead, finally made a choice: "Retreat!"

Also known as Back in System Options.

[Ding...you have made a choice]

【You decide to step back, facing unknown dangers, you need to be cautious, this is undoubtedly a wise choice. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the only way you can survive a hundred battles. You decide to go back to your own territory before thinking about it. You know, however, that it is only wise to start building your own power against future threats. ]

The system pops up a dialog box instantly.

But it's not a task completion dialog.

"Let's go!"

Kant understood what the system meant.

Turn the horse's head, shake the reins, and let the warhorse under the crotch gallop quickly across the desert.

The knight behind him immediately followed, his face solemn.

This is the High Lord's choice.

But for the apprentices, they were relieved, because for them, going directly into the depths of the Naron desert, especially when they perceive the negative energy and evil at the bottom, are even more timid.

The road ahead is really difficult, so difficult that these apprentices from the Ainfath Empire are afraid!

Kant's choice was really wise.

Although I know, maybe I will continue to move forward and meet more opportunities.

But based on the assumption of weak assessment of strength, the danger ahead will be more and more terrifying!

"Just go back."

The mage apprentices let out a sullen breath, shook the reins, and instigated the packhorses under their crotch to follow immediately.

Under the protection of these extraordinary knights, they are especially at ease, but what makes them more at ease is that they are still in the castle, so he suggested to Kant: "Maybe we can study the solar disk and find the way to use positive energy. "

Kant frowned, the sun disc has been studied by the apprentices.

"Uh... yes, the sun disc."

As if aware of Kant's suspicions, the apprentices were equally embarrassed.

After a pause, he explained: "We found some research on the solar disk in the senior's notes, which may be able to solve the current predicament. And the negative energy of the undead, both have extremely high ability to expel and dissolve."

"Can you solve it?" What Kant questioned was not their theory, but their practical ability.

This has a criminal record.

Of course, the mage apprentice is even more embarrassed: "The seven senior mage masters in front may be able to solve it."

"That's good." Kant nodded.

If this is the case, there is no problem, as long as the seven official mages who are still located in the town of "Aaron" are quickly recalled, after all, the crisis of "Drehem" Castle is the most important.

Because in Kant's view, how to deal with the curtain of death that appears next is very important!

This is a more advanced spell.

A super spell that increases friendly buffs and weakens enemy status buffs in an area.

Even if it is the combination of the [Power of Command] and [The Power of Deterrence] currently possessed, it is nothing more than this!

"If we can study the positive energy in the solar disk, maybe we can really solve the death curtain here, but the most important thing is to reorganize the troops and start to continue the violence."

Kant felt a little depressed.

The threat he saw made him palpitate.

If those unknown undead start to spread to the south in the depths of the Naron desert, then Kant will bear the brunt and will meet the aggression of this group of undead, and a fierce conflict will break out between the two sides.

This disrupts his plans.

Originally, Kant planned to gradually infiltrate the Principality of Lions with the help of trade routes, gain power or turn it into a colony, and even spread his power to other kingdoms, turning them into dumping grounds with high salt trade.

The goal is to earn a lot of Golden Eagles!

And then expand the power to the point where it can annex the kingdom, swallowing the power under its control.

Step by step, safe and secure.

Just not right now.

Before this plan was successfully implemented, a mutation had arrived.

The appearance of the undead disrupted his plans and must be reconsidered.

Even in Kant's current situation, he still faces the danger of a two-front battle. After all, the salt mine is Kant's bottom line, and he must send troops to protect it.

But the salt trade in the Principality of Lions will also attract a large number of armed forces with ill-conceived ideas.

And even various gangs of robbers will come.

"The rioters!"

Kant gritted his teeth and clenched the reins in his hands.

He must put all his resources on the army building.

The horse gallops wildly.

Kant turned his head, thoughtful.

The policy of elite soldiers will be temporarily invalid with the possibility of two-line combat. If there are not enough troops, Kant will not be able to organize the defense line, especially the establishment of the two defense lines of the salt mine post station and the central post station, which is even more necessary. troops.

Actually, the "Drehem" castle faced little pressure in the early days.

If it is really attacked by the enemy to the city wall, then it means that Kant's field troops have been completely wiped out.

This is the last line of defense!

However, there are well-established training camps in the "Drehem" castle, such as infantry, crossbowmen, and cavalry training camps, all of which have been completed. It is completely possible to recruit civilians in the castle and start a lot of training.

It doesn't take long for Kant to have a worthy force.

"Go back and talk about it."

Kant let out a sullen breath.

Ride the horse forward.

The midday sun was scorching hot, but the cold from the ground dispelled the heat.

The march is still no problem.

It's just this phenomenon that makes them even more heart palpitations who already know the inside story.

Compared to being able to march and endure the noon, Kant and the others are more willing to return to the past. They must use tents to hide under the scorching sun at noon, so it is easy to come!

After several days of trekking, the saline-alkali land that filled the mountains and plains in the desert pit finally appeared.

This used to be a lake.

You can also see the remnants of ancient river channels.

But they have all dried up, and even the lakes have been evaporated, leaving a large area of ​​saline-alkali land, only from the shore area, from the foot to the end of the field of vision, where the horizon can't see, all are Into the saline soil of white flowers.

An immeasurable amount of coarse salt is sprinkled in this desert, mixed with sand grains, in its own system.

Not even a dust storm can cover it up.

Even in the industrial age, with large-scale equipment and modern water mining, the coarse salt here may be mined for hundreds of years, not to mention the feudal age of cold weapons, which were simply mined by humans.

These salt-alkali flats on the periphery alone, not counting the salt lake in the interior, are estimated to be unfinished for thousands of years!

The wealth that Kant could not give up.

It takes 3 days to get to the Salt Mine Station along this saline-alkali land.

It didn't stop along the way.

Travel long distances.

Occasionally take a short rest, all mainly to hurry.

Finally arrived at the Salt Mine Station.

20 desert robbers are still on guard, patrolling with machetes and horses.

In the saline-alkali land under the dunes of the post station, 300 slave miners in ragged clothes and disheveled faces are toiling in digging for coarse salt, and more than 30 people are well-dressed and guarded with horse whips.

On the edge of the saline field are 30 Swadian militiamen armed with hunting crossbows and clad in iron armor.

It is often better to let slaves manage slaves than they do it themselves.

This is a check and balance between wooing and suppressing.

This time, a camel team of 50 camels are here to transport the sacks of coarse salt.

Seeing Kant coming, civilians, militiamen, and desert robbers came to salute one after another. Even the slave miners in the distance were twitching the whips of their original comrades, kneeling and salute.

After brutal training, these captives have become qualified slaves.

Of course, those unqualified ones are naturally "handled".

"Lord Lord."

Desert robbers and militiamen and civilians came to salute.

"Hmm."

Kant rode on the warhorse without any intention of staying: "There is an abnormality in the depths of the desert. If you encounter the resurrected dead, you can solve it if you can solve it. If you can't solve it, then retreat to the castle!"

"Yes!" The desert robbers and the militiamen looked at each other and found the surprise in their eyes.

This news is really shocking.

Kant also understands the abruptness of this.

But I didn't explain too much, just said solemnly: "Remember my words, don't be slack!"

"We will be vigilant!"

Desert robbers and militiamen nodded quickly~IndoMTL.com~ The 20 civilians who followed the camel caravan here asked Kant worriedly: "Lord Lord, if there are resurrected undead in the depths of the desert, then Is it a blow to our salt trade?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Kant said solemnly.

This is indeed the truth. If he can't handle it, not only will these civilians lose their jobs, but for him, they will lose an important boost to development.

After all, the dinar can be exchanged on a large scale at present, but it all depends on the gold currency - the golden eagle.

Without the salt trade, Kant would have lost the source of the dinar.

The output and slave trade alone cannot meet the current expanding development, especially the development and construction of the "Aaron" town, which requires a huge amount of dinars to support.

The development of agriculture and handicrafts is equally expensive in the beginning!
