Lord of the Oasis Chapter 398: .busy port area
Since Dongjun City is not welcome, Kant naturally didn't plan to go in.
His troops are indeed large in number, and they can be counted as elites, especially the 30 lion knights and 50 lion attendants. The full set of equipment is enough to be called the elite of the elite.
If you put it in rashly, I'm afraid it will be a bomb.
No one dares to take responsibility.
No one dared to really promise to let Kant in.
Even if it is put into Kant alone, or limited to 3 people.
If there were pagans from the Dark Red Sect and they attacked Kant and something happened, it would be Dalouzi, the elite troops in the Naron Desert, who would directly cross the North County Leader to take revenge.
As for the other nobles of the Principality of Lions, it is estimated that they will stand by and watch this good show with peace of mind.
Really good show.
How can it be bad to weaken one's own political enemies.
Although Dongjun Territory is still the territory and region of the Principality of Lions, it is actually a semi-independent warlord.
If Kant and Countess Agatha really fight to the death and both sides suffer, they will be able to take advantage of the situation to capture both places, even if they abandon the East County Territory, but instead sneak into the Naron Desert and gain access to the salt mine.
Now, who doesn't know that Kant's power is unparalleled and equal to those of the great nobles.
The reason is even clearer.
It's a salt mine!
If it weren't for the salt mines in the Naron desert, where would the initial construction funds be?
In the mid-term, raising so many troops, infiltrating other places, and winning the hearts of businessmen and landlords are all places to spend money. Kant is like not worrying about it. look.
Because of the existence of salt mines, this is equivalent to the silver mountain and silver sea of white flowers!
This has long made countless nobles jealous.
No way.
That's all they can think of.
It never occurred to me that Kant would not need the base currency of this world.
There is no need at all, except for gold and some precious supernatural things, only gold.
If you want to obtain gold in the long run, that is, the golden eagle that is currently circulating in the hands of big nobles and big businessmen, you need trade support. Of course, salt is indeed the main commodity of trade and a very popular luxury item.
The route that Kant took was the upper-class route, a route that only nobles and landlords and merchants could enjoy.
Actually the same is true.
Ordinary civilians can't afford any salt.
The wealthier citizens don't eat three or four times a week.
As for outside the city, the average age is 36 years old, and there are few farmers who live beyond the age of 60. Even if they do, they can't eat salt a few times a month. Even if they do, it is inferior marsh salt.
It is extracted from the eastern swamp, with a salty taste, very bitter.
But it's not cheap either.
The Feudal Age.
It is still a feudal society of Western Europe.
It really is the darkness, the sinking of the never-ending day.
For example, in a unified society like that of a certain dynasty, after mastering the techniques of boiling salt and drying salt, it forced the dictatorship of salt and iron, so that the price of salt would not be too low or too high, so that ordinary people could eat salt , really not much.
You must know that in the ancient times of the earth, the more advanced Roman Republic period in the West.
Salt is distributed as soldiers' salaries.
The world is more serious.
Salt is a necessity, and fine white salt is a luxury.
Equal to spice.
Those nobles are in high demand for delicious, pure, fine white salt without impurities.
If there is no such fine white salt at the banquet, it will definitely be ridiculed, especially on the face of the nobles, it will be an indelible scar, and will slowly lose contacts and eventually become alone.
In Kant's view, this is a situation where you have to suffer for your face, and that is a business opportunity.
The salt mine is in his hands.
The caravan is well fed by him.
If there is no absolute threat of force, then his salt trade will continue to increase.
As for the so-called threat of force, Kant thinks it is a joke. At least in the Naron desert now, he is the boss and the first, not to mention the lion principality. Sharp!
At the end of the battle, Kant's casualties were not too large and were still within an acceptable range.
But those god-born undead are completely wiped out, and the entire army is wiped out!
This is the power gap.
Times have changed.
Once upon a time, the gods and demons were the rulers of this world.
But now, as their authority gradually fades, they have already become the world of all races.
And it was during this period that the human race rose to the top. At least in the land where Kant was located, there were not too many tyrannical alien races. Even if there were, they were all driven to the most remote corners.
Like the lesser gnolls of the Naren Desert.
Or the Orcs of the Wild West of the Wilderness, and the gregarious barbarians.
Even if there is a dwarf kingdom, it is in the extreme south, and it is said that it has to pass through an uninhabited wilderness before it can finally be reached. This is why the salt from the dwarf kingdom is so expensive.
If there are no obstacles and no danger, it will take half a year to go back and forth normally.
If encountering orcs or other aliens.
It is possible to drag on for a year.
Kant is in no hurry.
His salt trade can go from the Principality of the Lion to the Kingdom of Silver Plate within a month, or back and forth directly.
As long as there is goods, there is no need to worry about sales. Now the human nations, such as the merchant ships on the Resniston River, have begun to purchase salt in large quantities. They all know that the Principality of Lions has found a new salt mine.
This kind of thing is a lucrative business, even if it is resold by domestic businessmen, they are all sitting and collecting money.
Kant and the others arrive at the port in East County City.
Crowded.
Wagons full of goods are everywhere.
Even the ground of the port is made of neatly cut stones and paved. They are all top-level stone roads, just like ancient passages, so that the carriages carrying goods can go quickly.
Among them, there are also many businessmen in luxurious clothes walking, followed by sturdy guards.
Looking at the style of clothes, it doesn't look like a businessman in the Principality of Lions.
"This place is nice."
Rolfe licked his tongue slightly covetously.
"Calm down." Kant glanced at him.
As a lord, he knows the careful thoughts of his brave general. After thinking about it, he ordered: "Find a place to wait for a while, so many troops will not enter the port, so as to avoid trouble."
"Understood." Rolf nodded immediately.
He understands this.
With so many cavalry entering the port, it would be troublesome if something went wrong.
It's still a crowded port space, and even if it is provocative, it can't be used on a horse.
At that time, even if there are petty thieves who come over and steal their things, they will not be able to enter the narrow alleys in the port to pursue them. Even if they do, they will not be able to kill people directly like in war .
All in all, the cavalry has a lot of restrictions after entering the city, they don't need and don't want to go in.
Rolfe still hears the meaning.
Slightly hesitant, he still asked: "Lord Kant, don't you plan to go in by yourself again? From what I understand, Dongjun City is not very peaceful. It is estimated that your identity has also been exposed, which is prone to accidents."
"Five lion knights follow me."
Kant is calm: "Nothing will happen."
"Five..." Rolfe hesitated even more, glanced at the city wall that was more than 5 meters high in front of him, and discouraged: "Lord Kant, bring five more, you can handle things when you encounter them."
"That's it," Kant decided.
These 10 Lion Knights.
That would represent 10 Great Knights.
Not to mention the mere East County Port, even the entire East County Territory is overbearing.
Let's just say that the current highest noble of the Eastern County, Countess Agatha, can come up with 10 great knights or two. The most likely possibility is that there are less than 5, and she is still a novice.
Cultivating great knights is not easy and requires strict inheritance.
It's just appalling that Kant can mass-produce Grand Knights with a little special means.
This is also an advantage brought by Goldfinger.
After all, Kant is backed by countless cavalry worlds.
In this real world, there are few great knights, but in the world of riding and cutting, and the world of high magic, it is still very simple to mass-produce magic knights with magic power. In this world, they are great knights.
Without getting too hung up on this issue, they quickly found the right place.
An entertainment area outside the port city walls.
That's right.
This is it.
This area next to the city wall has five streets full of bars, restaurants and hotels of various colors~IndoMTL.com~ It is now evening, the streets are brightly lit, and countless pedestrians are running lazily. There was an intoxicating sweetness in the air, the steam from the dessert bakery.
And of course the intoxicating aroma of wine in bars and restaurants.
And the waitresses in **** costumes.
Entertainment heaven.
This is where the port indulgence comes in.
Many mercenaries are walking in groups of three or five, with weapons hanging on their bodies, and others are not afraid at all, only the elite spearmen wearing fine chain armor who occasionally pass by on the street, Just glanced at it with a deterrent look.
There is chaos, indulgence, money is everything, and even order is weakened to a minimum.
The world of the strong and the rich.
No way.
The port is busy.
Those merchants and guards who come here from far away also need to use alcohol and women to relieve the pressure of long-term boat trips, and it is easier to lose themselves in this colorful world.
Kant didn't like this kind of environment, but Rolf and the elite cavalry behind him whistled happily.
It's like life in a loot cave in the Sarandian desert.
"Find a few hotels."
Kant gives orders.
Glancing at the group of gangsters who saw the women's agitation, said solemnly: "Don't go to the bar, don't drink alcohol, keep an eye on your wallets, war horses, and weapons and equipment, I don't want to find out tomorrow morning. something."
"Yes!" When the bandits heard it, they responded with a little helplessness.
"Understood."
Rolfe nodded helplessly.
But still go ahead to find a hotel. There are nearly 600 people, and there are a lot of rooms needed. It is estimated that 5 hotels can be booked. As the second-level commander in this team, he has to manage financial expenses. ()
