Lord of the Oasis Chapter 411: .The planned estuary village
The luncheon with exquisite food and delicious food ended in the late afternoon.
During the banquet, Kant also had a detailed discussion with James about future planning, especially the new village to be built at the estuary on the other side of the ancient passage, and even higher expectations.
This is Kant's third village.
It is also the third force stronghold, the upcoming strong castle.
Yes, that new village, which Kant intends to build into a more military castle.
This is a factor related to the distribution of forces. After all, at the mouth of the river is the intersection of the Principality of Lions, the Kingdom of Silver Plate, and the Wilderness of the Wilderness. There are also hidden dark red sects, water pirates in the Resniston River, and ships of the human kingdoms. Team and many other hidden forces.
It can be said that it is located at the mouth of the river, which is equivalent to the cusp of the storm.
Village is easy to build.
Expanding is also easy.
However, it is not so easy to survive the malice and attacks of many forces.
It even tends to be difficult!
The city is a residential building cluster. Although it also has city walls and arrow towers as shell protection, it is still slightly weaker than a castle that can be armed with the most advanced and strongest city defenses compared to all military building clusters. .
The towering castle is the main body, surrounded by walls and arrow towers as defense lines.
Even if broken.
The castle itself can continue to resist.
In the feudal era, the castle system of Western Europe was simply a tortoise shell integrating defense.
In the age of cold weapons, even if you have an army of millions and all kinds of siege equipment, you can face a well-built high-level castle, even if there are only a thousand people stationed there, it will not help.
The advantage of the number of people has no effect in the face of this kind of building made of huge stones.
Even with siege equipment.
The age of cold weapons.
There is no army that can easily defeat the defenders of the castle and completely occupy this military building that has an absolute position in the history of defense when the defenders are united and there are reinforcements.
It was only in the age of hot weapons that this phenomenon came to an end.
But the castle at that time had already evolved into a bastion.
The city walls are no longer high.
But it's heavy.
The main body of the castle is no longer huge.
But the scattered military buildings are closely linked.
Cooperating with the artillery of the defenders and the muskets held by the infantry, with a well-built bastion, it is no problem to resist dozens of times the enemy army. It is also a strong performance of the European city's defense!
The current Kant troops are elite, but the number is small, and short-term training cannot achieve the numerical advantage.
This is incomparable to those with historical background.
Kant worries about crowd tactics.
If you say, there are 10 natives in exchange for the life of 1 system soldier.
For Kant, it's a loss-making business, because among his forces, the current troops are only 10,000 people. This is his limit. After all, his population is only 25ooo.
Equal to 2.5 civilians to support 1 soldier.
Most of them are cavalry!
Suffice to say.
If it weren't for the salt trade that brought Kant a steady stream of dinars.
If it weren't for the countless cavalry and slashing worlds behind him, Kant would have collapsed on his own in the face of the huge military force that he was struggling to maintain, and completely lost the capital to be able to conquer this world.
The current Kant did not directly start the swallowing trend to sweep the lion principality, which is why he is worried.
Once the existing trading system is disrupted.
The planned colonial dumping system has not yet been established.
The blow to Kant will be fatal. He can't maintain such a huge army. The weekly maintenance cost of nearly 100,000 can make Kant dare not take risks easily. This is really like dancing on the edge of a cliff.
100,000 dinars per week.
The conversion is 400,000 dinars per month.
The salt trade is carried out every two weeks for a harvest of 250,000 dinars.
The monthly fiscal revenue is 50,000 dinars, but after deducting the 40,000-million-dollar maintenance expenses, all the daily food consumed by the military and civilians, and miscellaneous expenses, there are basically not many dinars left.
The possibility of continuing the violence is not very big in Kant's plan.
Of course.
The rioters must be rioters.
The next step will be to deal with the siege of many enemies, which will be a **** battle.
Kant needs to quickly establish a new village at the estuary of the river, and at the same time upgrade the village to a fortress, and finally upgrade it to a castle in the shortest possible time.
This is the basis for a firm hold on the ground.
But others will not pretend to ignore it.
The estuary location, very close to the Riesneston River.
It can be said that the merchant ships on the Risniston River, as long as they look to the north, can find new villages at the mouth of the river, not to mention even larger fortresses or huge castles.
It is estimated that when the fortress is built, the enemy's offensive is coming.
Kant therefore had to deliberate carefully.
Just build the village.
Then he must supply all his strength to upgrade the village to the pinnacle of fortress.
If you are lucky, before the group of enemies can react, it is even more foolproof to upgrade the fortress to the initial stage of the castle~IndoMTL.com~, so their task load is extremely heavy, and all the pressure is on this on the city.
"Aaron" is a city in the Sanwaya Mountains.
Will be the backing of the new village!
Long talk all night.
Kant and James have been negotiating until late at night before they each go to rest.
In the early morning of the next day, there were desert robbers stationed at the Shankou Post Station, who had already galloped on their horses, marching very far in the Nalen desert, preparing to go to the "Drehem" castle in the sentry oasis to convey their orders.
"Drehem" Castle is temporarily guarded by Manid and Jocelyn.
There are currently no exceptions.
But they didn't let their guard down either.
Manid, in particular, has completely delegated the salt trade to Jocelyn, a former caravan leader, and let him trade salt with Stone Pass instead of him.
As for Manid, he led his troops to patrol the Naron Desert.
Centered on the Sentinel Oasis.
Up to the Salt Mine Station, down to the Central Station.
A large number of light cavalry are mixed with a small number of elite heavy cavalry, and the rolling torrent is very deterrent.
But there was an effective situation, especially in the Salt Mine Station. These cavalry defeated many small groups of skeleton cavalry that were still trying to infiltrate here, and protected the re-established Salt Mine Station.
Also near the central station, many spies of various colors sent by the Principality of Lions were also slain.
Now the Narun Desert is already in danger.
Kant's arrangement is to tear open a hole in this besieged predicament, so that his own power can be extended, and it can really touch the side of the human kingdoms, using the suspicions and suspicions of those human forces. Unstable, in exchange for their extreme development in balance!
