Lord of the Oasis Chapter 9: .The lack of food reserves

These people from the kingdom of Swadia are not old and weak women and children, they are all strong men.

Eat less?

That's simply impossible!

Counting from today, Dehrim's food reserves can only feed everyone for ten days.

This makes Kant's scalp go numb!

What are you kidding?

In this desert oasis, without food and water, people are absolutely dead!

And most importantly.

The gnoll's counterattack does not know when it will start. Dehrim is still in a state of crisis, and the food reserves in the fief are currently insufficient. For Kant, a new lord who has just taken office and is basically poor and white, It can be called torture, or uninterrupted torture!

"It's a real hassle."

Kant bowed his head and meditated, realizing the seriousness of the problem: "The food problem must be solved first!"

He made up his mind.

At any time, in any world, the food issue is the most important issue, whether in reality or in games, or in the strange and alien world now.

For Kant, even more so.

In the current sentry oasis, the people stationed in Dehrim need to have a full stomach.

Only by maintaining sufficient physical strength can they resist the attack of the gnolls.

After all, I'm hungry, my whole body is weak, and it's very difficult to raise a weapon. How can I face the possibility of a large group of gnolls?

Even these Swadian peasants need physical strength to carry a scythe to protect their village!

"Definitely find a way."

Kant frowned, thinking in his heart.

Reducing food distribution, although it can last more time, but for the current De Herim, it is equivalent to killing chickens to get eggs, killing a thousand enemies and self-destructing eight hundred stupid things, he will never do it.

If you lose your strength, you will lose the ability to resist!

"Let's go to the storage room." Kant returned to the Consulate.

The militiaman followed behind him.

The corner room on the first floor of the Consular Hall is the current storage room, about 30 square meters. The shelves are full of bread, dried meat, and chubby cabbage.

The smell of food fills the air.

"That's all we have?" Kant frowned, his face a little unhappy.

The militia replied: "Yes, Lord, that's all."

Generally speaking, it is not far from what the militia reported. In total, there should be 500 pieces of bread, 250 pieces of dried meat, and 100 pieces of cabbage.

Of course, also remove today's breakfast, 16 servings of bread, 5 servings of dried meat and 5 cabbage.

So it seems that there is a lot of food, and it is piled up in the storage room, but for the current 80 adults, three meals a day, and snacks for soldiers on duty at night, they can only last for 10 days. share.

After all, these Swadians are all strong, middle-aged men!

Three meals a day need to be supplemented with a lot of food, not to mention that in the future development of the fief, the physical exertion will be even greater, and the requirements for energy intake will definitely be higher.

Therefore, it is necessary to increase the variety of food while ensuring the amount of food.

"That's right."

Kant raised his head slightly and said to the militiaman, "I remember that there should be a lot of supplies in those three carriages."

This is what he prepared in the Principality of Lions.

Include plenty of food.

Although some were consumed when they came to the sentry oasis, and some were taken away by the cavalry who left, there will definitely be leftovers, including those specially purchased foods that are resistant to high temperature and storage.

"Also, we checked last night."

The militiaman quickly replied: "It contains bread, bacon, sausage, and a small amount of salt, sugar, and spices."

Kant nodded: "How much is the portion?"

"All together, there should be 3 days' worth." The militiaman replied.

"What? Just a 3-day supply?"

Kant was stunned, and he couldn't believe it. At that time, the food he bought was a whole carriage!

Because he considers not only the food consumption during the desert trek, but also the additional food consumption during the development of the sentry oasis, which can be said to be enough for the previous 30 Swadian farmers to eat nearly half a month. !

"After we checked, we found that it was indeed only three days' worth." The militiamen continued to report truthfully.

But Kant's brows were wrinkled, like a Sichuan character.

This is beyond his expectations.

"That's 13 days?" Kant frowned.

The militiaman nodded: "Yes."

Thinking about the consumption during the trek, Kant's brows furrowed even more. He was sure that he didn't eat much food, but when the cavalry left before flashed in his mind, Kant was a little surprised.

"These guys." Kant couldn't help but grit his teeth.

This is definitely revenge!

Those guys are taking revenge on themselves, using them to risk their lives to wipe out the gnoll horde occupying the Sentinel Oasis!

"You really won." Kant stretched out his hand and pinched his eyebrows, sighing in his heart.

However, he did not continue to be angry, the fault was his.

But thinking about the fact that he has just started the development of the fief, he understands that there is a big gap between reality and ideals. It is difficult for him to maintain one step at a time, and he does not know how many difficulties await him in the future.

"Lord Lord."

The militiaman spoke up and persuaded: "Let's eat something first, breakfast is ready."

A Swadian peasant who acts as a cook comes up next to him, holding a tray with a large wooden bowl full of food, chopped air-dried meat and chopped cabbage, sprinkled with fine salt and pepper. Stewed soup.

Also on the tray were two palm-sized slices of white bread, which had been baked over an open flame and had an attractive char.

"Well, breakfast looks good."

Kant takes the tray.

The troubles are thrown to the back, it's breakfast time.

The soup is rich, and the stewed air-dried meat and cabbage taste great on toasted bread.

And throughout the oasis, the smell of food is spreading.

The peasants in Swadia are also eating bread and thick soup with big mouthfuls, all with excited smiles on their faces, and occasionally discuss a few words in a low voice, when they talk about happy things, they also say haha of laughter.

This is his fief.

Kant likes the relaxed atmosphere of taking a short break from the tension and busyness.

This is the joy that comes from being far away from the Principality of Lions, the vortex of power, especially his full control of this place, the kind of right to keep everything in the palm of his hand, which makes him even more fascinated.

No one does not love power, and not everyone is willing to be a hermit.

Ambition,

This thing, sometimes everyone has it.

"Very good, delicious food, thank the chef for me."

Kant put down his knife and fork with satisfaction on his face.

After having breakfast, his brows slightly spread out and he felt at ease, so he left the office and walked towards the oasis pond outside, purely to appreciate his own fief territory and to divide the land use area in advance.

"Crack."

But Kant didn't pay attention. When he came to the pond, he seemed to have stepped on something.

Before he could lower his head, a diffuse stench appeared in his nostrils, and when he looked down, Kant's normally calm face became a little more distorted: "Damn, this is really true. Disgusting."

On his cowhide boots, he stepped on the sticky brown object by the pond.

It is the excrement of a gnoll.

And his slightly distorted face was filled with gritted hatred. He swept the surrounding ponds and found at least 30 such mines, almost like a mine array!

The gnolls are still in primitive tribes, but they don't know what is hygiene and what is epidemic prevention!

In fact, this primitive creature also seems to be immune to common diseases.

"Made."

Kant scolded secretly, stepped back quickly, rubbed his feet on the sandy soil, and rubbed off the disgusting excrement.

But at this moment, a prompt box from the system appeared on the retina.

[Ding… Temporary task release]

[Temporary Mission: Restoring the Oasis]

[Reward: Flour × 20 bags]

[Introduction: Your fief is located in an oasis, but it is currently contaminated by filthy gnolls. Clear out your oasis again, it will be hope for the future. ]

System tasks.

Kant was slightly taken aback~IndoMTL.com~ But looking at the introduction on the retina, surprise flashed in his eyes.

Even the nausea of ​​stepping on excrement disappeared.

This is the help in the snow!

The most lacking and most urgent need in the current Sentinel Oasis is undoubtedly food.

Now after this temporary task is completed, the reward obtained is exactly the food that Kant needs most, and it is still 10 bags of flour, which can be baked into bread with water!

Although 20 bags of flour is not much, it can at least add a few extra days to spare.

At that time, Kant's choice will also be greater.

Whether it is to return to the Principality of Lions to buy food, or to go to a deeper desert to find a way to survive, Kant has more time to make a decision, and he does not have to worry about the problem of food storage in a short period of time. Overwhelming his arrangement .

"Cleaning up the oasis, it's very simple." Kant had a plan in his mind.

In fact, even if there are no system tasks, he will arrange for the Swadian farmers to focus on clearing the oasis.

After all, after the gnoll lived, it was really a mess!

"Trees?"

Just as Kant was about to arrange clean-up work for the farmers, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the northern part of the pond, where a few poplar trees were rooting, swaying in the wind, showing themselves in the early morning sun.

But a tree also appeared in Kant's mind.

The date palm!

The system temporary task reward, 20 date palms in full fruit!

Before Kant completed two tasks, one was to defeat the sneak attacking gnoll troops, and the other was to exterminate the gnoll tribe, and respectively obtained 20 date palm trees and a desert robber stronghold.

These are all things that can appear directly in this world, just like the Consular Hall!
