Lord of the Oasis Chapter 64: .Kant’s new threat
Asage was **** with twine, leaving only his feet to walk.
At the same time, 41 light infantrymen in infantry chain armor also came over, and everyone put their hands on the hilt of the Germanic sword around their waists, looking at the gnoll with a bad expression, as if the next In a second, he can draw a sword and chop it fiercely.
This made Asage obediently tied up, bowing his head and feeling at ease as his captive.
I just looked aggrievedly into the distance.
This saline-alkali land formed by the drying up of a saltwater lake no longer belongs to it.
With the sadness and despair in his heart, Asage's wolf eyes filled with tears, because he now understands that even he, a high-level gnoll who should be treated with dignity, has become a prisoner and has no freedom. .
There is not much chance for it to be secretly wounded.
Following Kant's order, the temporarily occupied salt mine was reclaimed.
Because these heavy cavalry and light infantry of Swadia, under the leadership of Fatis and Kant, have repacked their weapons and equipment, and walked towards the direction they came from.
The original coarse salt of Baihuahua on the saline-alkali land has not been collected.
Even the coarse salt contained in the flax belts seized from Asage was haphazardly stacked on the edge of the saline-alkali land, with no intention of taking it away.
These things that cannot be eaten directly will not be stolen.
Those low-level gnolls have now been defeated. Except for Kant, who is 2 days away, who will send people to mine the salt mine again, basically no one will appear here, let alone to steal salt.
Kant is very relieved.
And the mood is relatively happy.
This is the best natural salt mine, and it was taken and occupied by him.
As long as the logging yard in the Sangwaya Mountains is arranged, a steady stream of timber will be transported to the sentry oasis, and a large amount of raw coarse salt of the white flowers will be transported there. After a little cooking and filtering, it is the fine food that can only be enjoyed on the table of the nobles. white salt.
Basically, it can be regarded as a good deal with great profits, second only to the spice trade.
But Kant's face darkened.
His mood did not change because of the good news.
On the contrary, in the depths of Kant's seemingly calm eyes, awe and solemnity reappeared, and he was even a little overwhelmed.
The reason is simple.
The so-called high-level gnoll who was captured just now brought news from the north of the Naron Desert, and it was not so friendly to him, because the country opposite the desert was a kingdom formed by high-level gnolls.
He doesn't care whether the gnolls are called higher or lower.
Just knowing a little is enough.
It was a gnoll, not a human kingdom.
"This is a real hassle."
Kant's face was gloomy, and he rode his horse forward, only feeling that the center of his eyebrows were faintly swelled.
The newly emerging kingdom of Greymane, and the coast of Mannheim across the desert, can directly disrupt his strategy.
Originally, I wanted to rely on the Naluun Desert as the rear base, and slowly plot the Principality of Lions. How could I have imagined that the large rear area that I had preset now turned out to be the center of the border between the two countries.
And there is also the possibility that it will directly become the place of the battlefield.
According to the captives, the kingdom of Graymane, north of the desert, is hostile to the Principality of Lions.
Think about it and understand.
It would be **** if a kingdom with different races could be friendly.
"Fatis." Kant said.
Fatis, who is behind him, is lightly knocking his horse's belly, parallel to Kant: "I am here, Lord Kant."
"Do you think what it says is true?" Kant asked.
Fatis pondered slightly, but nodded and said: "In the case of our lack of intelligence, I would rather believe this is true. After all, it has its own wisdom, which is indeed different from these low-level gnolls in the desert."
Kant also sighed: "Yes."
The two turned their heads subconsciously and glanced behind.
The gnoll in decent linen robes, no less than theirs.
If you distinguish carefully, you can see that this gnoll has thick hair, smooth oil, and even a little care, which is indeed different from those messy, dirty and filthy gnolls.
Above all, it possesses wisdom.
Knowing the fears and rules, even if they are captured, they will keep their heads down and follow instead of resisting.
The gnolls that Kant had previously captured, after recovering from fear, swooped around like angry wolf dogs, were beaten, and starved for a few days before becoming docile.
Or in other words, I learned how to calm down after I was hungry and had no strength.
"We can assume that what it says is true."
Fatis spoke with a solemn tone: "But this means that we have a new enemy."
"That's right." Kant exhaled helplessly: "This is exactly what makes me irritable."
Being in the gap between the Principality of the Lion and the unknown Kingdom of Greymane makes Kant quite uncomfortable. As long as he thinks of this, his chest is like a stuffy, making him unable to breathe normally.
No one wants to be in the same room with a greedy lion and a ferocious jackal.
And Kant, that is precisely the case.
It is still in the middle of the two. Although there is no major problem yet, if there is any abnormal situation between the two in the future, it will be fatal to Kant in the crack.
He's at an awkward point.
If the Kingdom of Greymane really intends to cross the desert and attack the Principality of Lions, then the first thing to occupy is the Sentinel Oasis as an outpost, to obtain the most precious water source in the desert, and to obtain strategic opportunities and guarantees.
In this way, whether it is attacking the Principality of the Lion or retreating, the troops of the Graymane Kingdom are able to handle it with ease.
For the Lion Principality, whether it is defense or counterattack, it is also inseparable from the bridgehead-like sentry oasis. As long as the attacking Graymane Kingdom is repelled, these gnolls without water will be self-destructed.
So, whoever occupies this place means half of the victory.
"It's not a good thing for me."
Kant shook his head, his eyebrows dignified.
He is the baron of the Naron Desert, and he has the final say in this area.
It is absolutely impossible to give up the sentry oasis that he has worked so hard to build and hand over "Deherim" to others, because this represents Kant's bottom line and is the only one he can survive in this world.
As he rode on the horse, Kant's face returned to calm, but he was expected to be very solemn: "Fatis, I think after we go back, the development of the sentry oasis should speed up."
"Of course, Lord Kant." Fatis nodded and followed closely behind him.
The infantry and cavalry also quickened their pace.
At the very least, the current sentry oasis, the Narun Desert, is owned by Kant.
Step up development and use the golden finger to make your own power grow into a giant, a terrorist force that even the troops of the Greymane Kingdom and the nobles of the Principality of Lions dare not face up to ~IndoMTL.com~ Then Kant will become an invincible force. A shattering presence.
At that time, he will not react to other people's actions.
It was Kant's order, and anyone should be frightened according to his mood.
"There is still time."
Kant thought to himself that this was his only advantage at the moment.
His mind turned quickly: "The troops from the Graymane Kingdom cannot be dispatched in a short time, nor can the Principality of Lions know that in a short period of time, I have developed so fast in the Sentinel Oasis."
After pondering for a moment, Kant had an idea: "Continue to proceed according to the original plan, but it will be accelerated."
As long as there is salt, Kant can make a lot of money.
The Principality of the Lions will not refuse. Much cheaper white salt will enter the market, and it will not be stingy with the silver coins in its hands to purchase the caravan that Kant intends to form.
46 Swadian heavy cavalry.
41 Swadian Light Infantry.
And the subsequent Swadian troops, as long as there are dinars, will quickly appear in this world.
Even if the nobles of the Principality of Lions coveted Kant's acquisition of the salt mine, and after several head-to-head wars, Kant's troops cut off their outstretched claws, and everything would be temporarily peaceful.
The key point is that now Kant and Cameron, Duke of the Lion, have not completely cut off their relationship.
