Lord of the Oasis Chapter 370: .The situation is very good
Kant and Rolf enter the inn.
Desert robbers who acted as servants came in and out of the side door next to them, quickly brought the food in the kitchen, and soon filled the long table in the hall, exuding the smell of food.
It's all simple meals, finely cut sausages, grilled air-dried meats, and fruit from the Sangwaya Mountains.
Sweet dates are also indispensable.
"Good."
Kant nodded in satisfaction.
Rolfe is meticulous about the details.
The post was originally set up here for the purpose of supplying halfway. Whether it is outsiders, Kant's troops or caravans, they can rest here, get drinking water and food, and have a good rest.
After all, the desert environment in Nalen is cruel, even if you are used to such a life, you can still feel the deep malice brought by the environment.
It's malicious.
The title of the forbidden zone of civilization is not for nothing.
If salt wasn't found here, it probably wouldn't matter what Kant did.
The nobles of the Principality of Lions are completely profit-seeking. If they come to the Naron Desert, there is no benefit to them. They would rather let Kant toss and toss than have anything to do with it.
Just like the original Baron Dylan, who was sealed by the Stone Pass, marginalized and ignored.
Never join the mainstream aristocracy.
It's just that Kant doesn't need it.
The so-called circle is just a platform for borrowing from each other.
Kant, who already has a strong military, can build a platform by himself, and even when it is time to overturn the table, it makes no sense for him to join this so-called noble circle.
The meal is over soon.
Take a break.
Manid saluted and left. As planned, he needed to meet the waiting merchants.
After all, the salt trade has been interrupted for more than half a month, and those businessmen are in a hurry. If they hadn't seen Manid and his camel caravan now, it is estimated that these businessmen would have the heart to force.
Of course, an idea is an idea. In reality, with Rolfe around, these businessmen wouldn't dare to be presumptuous.
The bones in the desert are proof of that.
This villainous aristocrat won't be soft-hearted.
A new caravan, relying on the aristocratic power behind it, dared to fight against Rolf, and then at night, a so-called horse thief appeared, attacked the caravan, killed the leader of the caravan, and hung his head on it. Spear stuck in place.
As for the cargo, it will be found by patrolling desert robbers the next day, and lucky to be picked up in the desert.
It happened two or three times.
Under the threat of high pressure, the entire Central Post Station was exceptionally harmonious.
Of course, those oppressed businessmen must have complaints, and those nobles who did not receive sufficient benefits will have a worse impression of Kant, and at the same time will force some nobles to unite and really move towards Send troops here.
There are signs of robbers in the desert now, but the Fatis who are stationed at the Stone Pass are strictly managed.
This is also a good move by Kant.
Kant won't wait too long here.
He came to the central station purely by way of the road. In fact, he planned to go to the Stone Pass, which was already under his control, to see the local situation and the dynamics of the Principality of Lions.
Fatis has been stationed there for 2 months, enough to inquire about the general information about the Principality of Lions.
That's the point.
Although in the past, Stone Pass was unknown.
But now, because of the salt trade, Stone Pass has long been a gathering place for caravans.
As a result, the flow of people in the Stone Pass is extremely large, and it is not clear how many spies and spies of other forces are there, but there are also many, which is why Kant sent Fatis there. Playground of the future
Stone Pass is a strategic location.
To leave the Naron Desert, you must pass through this pass built into the canyon.
Jin can wave his troops straight into the lion principality.
Retreat can take care of the desert of Narun calmly.
Going out of the Stone Pass, the entire Principality of Lions is safe to defend, especially the North County Territory.
A scholar once conducted a survey in the North County Territory.
Conclude.
Appears in Northshire Territory whenever there is a river similar to the Rysneston River.
Then this seemingly barren and barren land can now be improved. Good water network channels can be built, and the whole plain area can be included in the scope of water source irrigation, which can increase the grain output of the North County Territory several times.
Even if it doesn't reach the level of North County and East County, it's not too different.
This is the Plains area.
Suitable for farming.
The reason why it is now barren is only because it is adjacent to the Narun Desert, the climate is hot, and the land is dry and lacks water.
Of course, Kant doesn't care about this. With the power of system rules, he can make up for this shortcoming at any time. Besides, as long as he leads his troops to rush out of the stone pass, this endless plain is his world!
The plains are suitable for large-scale cavalry operations, and the plains that are safe to defend are not a paradise for infantry.
It's an infantry **** instead!
Kant's cavalry are heavy cavalry that house the essence of Calradia.
Even light cavalry are desert robbers, a group of Salandian gangsters who learn from the light cavalry troops formed by the Khudge.
Coming and going like the wind.
Although they don't have the invincible demeanor of the Khugeites holding bows and arrows, they can also demonstrate excellent abilities by relying on strategic tasks such as harassment, reconnaissance, raids, harassment of food routes, and strikes against logistical supplies.
Although the troops of the Principality of Lions are also dominated by heavy cavalry, the light cavalry is extremely poor.
Similar to a mounted militia.
Only simple reconnaissance and harassment tactics are possible.
If you encounter desert robbers, it is estimated that these Salander robbers will swallow up even the scum.
As for the infantry, it is purely a number-filling unit. They are all ordinary civilians who have undergone simple training to serve. If the situation is urgent, they are more often looking for mercenaries to serve as line-carrying infantry.
Only the knights composed of nobles, including knight squires trained since childhood, are the main force in combat.
This is not much different from the previous European Middle Ages.
Kant has nothing to fear for such an obviously weak unit.
With the current cavalry group, the heavy cavalry, mainly Swadian heavy cavalry and Sarandian riders, is enough to smash the defense of any army. Even if it falls into a melee, there are Sarion lion attendants as the main force in hand-to-hand combat.
The most important thing is that the number of extraordinary arms that Kant currently possesses is absolutely higher than that of the Principality of Lions.
It's even stronger in terms of quality!
What's more, after the victory, Kant's power has increased by leaps and bounds.
Not a quantity.
It's the quality!
The experience points of all arms have been completed, enough to upgrade to more advanced arms.
If the Principality of Lions wants to block Kant's heavy cavalry group, it is like a temporary earth dam trying to block the flood discharge downstream. Whether it is conceptual or practical, it will suffer heavy losses.
At the very least, many nobles in the Principality of Lions will not let their troops be wiped out.
This is the basis for them to be nobles.
Without his elite troops. Rich family chasing love: training the little runaway wife
Don't talk about the enemies around, even allies, they will take the opportunity to annex them!
While your illness is killing you, the nobles in this world also have no permanent allies, only temporary interests. Except for their own strength, everything else is nothing. This is a world that advocates the law of the weak!
This time I went to the Principality of Lions, and Kant had an idea.
The troops attack.
He can't be limited to simply tying his power to Stone Pass.
As the overlord of the Naron Desert today, Kant has the ability and strength, and also has the capital to let his troops rush out and have fun in the territory of the Principality of Lions.
According to my impression, the supreme lord of the Northern Territory, Viscount Wayne, has no strength to stop him.
What's more, the military strength within the North County Territory is the weakest.
There are no cities in the county.
Only Roger Castle, Viscount Wayne, the lord who nominally rules the entire North County Territory, belongs to the confidant of the Grand Duke, Viscount Kevin and his Marsburg, who restrain the local nobles in the North County Territory, and Baron Dylan, an unremarkable firm Stone Pass.
None of this was a problem for Kant.
What's more, he has mastered the only natural danger for him, the Stone Pass!
If the Stone Pass is not mastered, the nobles of the Principality of Lions will form a joint force and station the elite troops in the only gap in the Sanwaya Mountains, then waiting for Kant will be a long torture.
His troops cannot pass through the Sangwaya Mountains, the dragon-like mountains that can block any troops.
Besides, it's dangerous inside.
Unless by water.
Also known as the ancient passage below the city of "Aaron".
But until now, this channel is still in an unknown state. Even if it is known that it leads to the Risneston River, the channel that has not been opened cannot form an effective logistical supply.
Kant is equally dangerous if attacked back and forth.
Most critical.
His mighty horde of heavy land cavalry can't charge on the wide Rysneston River!
Thinking of this, Kant pondered slightly.
Stone Pass still cannot be abandoned.
This is a crucial point.
Only when he controls this pass can he be qualified to exert pressure on the nobles of the Lion Principality, and then coerce and induce his own influence to gradually infiltrate the entire Principality.
As the second-in-line heir, Kant has the qualifications to win over those nobles.
Although the effect is definitely weak.
There are no permanent allies, nor are there permanent hatreds.
In the face of interests, everything can be compromised, even if it is a **** feud, it can be abandoned.
What's more, they don't have a **** feud, just because they are hostile to the Yinpan Kingdom, and they are hostile to Princess Sophia who came from the Yinpan Kingdom ~IndoMTL.com~, also Kant's biological mother.
The filth in the middle did not make it clear that even if Princess Sophia's death had a black hand, not all nobles were involved.
"Okay."
Kant wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin.
Standing up, looking at the lion knights around who also finished their meal, he said calmly: "It's almost time, we will continue to set off, and strive to reach the Stone Pass by tomorrow afternoon."
"Yes!" The 30 lion knights answered neatly.
"Are you going now?"
Rolfe was a little surprised: "Lord Kant, it's better to stay here and rest."
Kant waved his hand: "No need." Glancing out the window, he calmly said: "I have already explained the specific matter to Manid, you will continue to stay here and stay vigilant."
"Understood." Rolf nodded.
