That desert, an oasis of sentries.
The sky was bright and the traces of the night had not completely faded.
This was just at dawn.
Last night's banquet did not lower the vigilance, the soldiers still maintained sufficient vigilance.
These outstanding soldiers from Swadia, Sarande, and Wikya, even after drinking, did not forget their responsibilities. Instead, they worried that there would be enemy attacks and everyone would not sleep deeply.
Dawn has just appeared.
On the arrow tower, the night-time Vikya Archer was replaced.
The Swadia crossbowman, armed with a crossbow, was alerting the reinforced attic wall and shooting behind the window.
Although 50 Wikia archers and 50 Swadia crossbowmen are scattered on 4 walls, the number of people is not much at all, but it is half a hectare inside the wall of the "Drechem" fortress. Questions can be transferred at any time to support.
The fortress is small, but it is also convenient to defend.
Outside the ruling hall.
Kant came out, full of energy, and was no longer tired when he first got up.
Out of the door, Kant walked quickly towards the right side, and at the same time Shen Sheng asked, "Are you ready?"
"Okay." Manid was following him.
The two came to the sugar workshop.
The coarse salt originally piled up in bags on the street has disappeared by this time.
Instead, they were brand new sacks stacked on the wooden shelves beside the city walls. In order to ensure that the surface of these sacks was clean, even two layers of linen were placed on the wooden shelves.
The new sacks are filled with fine white salt made last night.
It was only after processing last night that we finally got out of work.
"Master Kant, Lord Manid."
At the door of the sugar workshop, farmers and peasants who had not slept for a night hurriedly saluted.
Looking at the dark circles on their eyes, they knew that they were indeed struggling to do so, and Kant nodded sympathetically: "No need to be too polite, you have been busy all night, and you have a good rest today."
"Thank you for your kindness." The farmers and peasant women left gratefully after saluting.
"Relax." Kant smiled and nodded.
These leaders were all for his children, and the kindness he showed was justified.
They don't need them for the next job.
Manide opened the report: "Master Kant, if there is no other situation, I want to pack up immediately and take the lead before noon, so that according to the time, I can return with a full load of goods by next Sunday."
"Okay, just do it." Kant nodded.
From the sentry oasis to the Jianshi Pass, even knowing the correct shortest route will take 4 days.
This is still a team of cavalry and carriages.
If it is a simple infantry, it will take longer time. It is estimated that it must be as long as Kant first came to the sentry oasis in the cruel barren environment of the Nalun desert.
Time does not wait for others, and Kant does not have much time to waste.
Soon, the farmer came by the horse carriage and was moved by two horses. It was the horse and carriage that Kant and Kant came to here.
The farmers joined forces.
The 20 bags of fine white salt stacked on the wooden stand were all loaded on the carriage.
Just outside the street, the other two carriages were also loaded with things, but they were supplies that traversed the Nalun desert.
For example, fresh water and food for daily consumption.
This is a guarantee for several days.
Ten Sarande riders, as well as 20 elite desert robbers, are also ready.
After all, Kant encountered some bad memories last time when he went to the Hard Rock Pass. In order to avoid Manid encountering those situations again this time, the necessary guards are absolutely indispensable.
And there are 10 Swadia recruits who are with them.
Wearing a hunting crossbow, wearing iron-clad armor.
Carrying a wooden shield and a 2 meter heavy spear, a fighting and a quiver were also hanging around his waist.
Linen robe was also covered on the outside.
This was the last 10 farmers when Kant led the team to the salt mine. After defeating several stock jackals, they could be upgraded, and they were directly upgraded to Swadian militiamen. They just took the team to the post and were responsible for the reception of the post in the future. And security work.
Soon, all three carriages were loaded with supplies.
The soldiers are also ready.
"Jianshi Pass, pay more attention."
Outside the city gate, Kant's face was serious, and he advised Manid: "I think you understand."
"Understood." Manid nodded.
"Take care." Fatiz also came to say goodbye.
"Goodbye."
Manid beckoned the two of them, turned their horses and started to lead the team.
Six vigorous horse-drawn horses and three horse-drawn carriages soon disappeared behind the vast dunes.
This is Manid representing Kant to the Hard Rock Pass to trade with the local lord Baron Dylan.
As long as the salt trade is successful, the future sentinel oasis will reap an ally that can withstand most storms, and at the same time will be able to obtain an agent for a long time, a model of win-win cooperation.
Kant stood in front of the city gate.
His face was very serious, looking at the sea of sand in front of him, he said in a deep voice: "It depends on Manid."
"He will not disappoint." Fatis comforted.
"Yeah." Kant nodded.
Maned from the merchant family of the Nord Kingdom was originally a business genius.
But Kant's anxiety and worries are not commercial issues, but because of his identity, there will be greater exclusion and counterattack on the historical legacy issues arising from the Jianshi Pass.
After all, the two waves of people he met last time left him heavy.
This already represents a symptom.
After being exiled to the desert of Nalun, Kant's figure continued to set foot on the Principality of the Lion, which many people were reluctant to see.
So there was a robbery.
Baron Dylan’s vassal knight led a group of armed militias and wanted to rob him. This was a joke, and Kant led the cavalry to kill these overwhelming guys.
Perhaps the robbery was really an accident, the armor that coveted his men.
But the beautiful woman I met first, and the plot of the hero saving the beauty, is definitely not that simple.
Now, if you think about it, you know that this is a conspiracy.
Directly against his conspiracy.
Kant frowned slightly and turned his head to Fatiz: "Arrange the troops, we have to reach the critical moment before transformation, tell our soldiers not to relax, I don’t want to see that at such a critical time, someone will Drop the chain."
"Please rest assured, Master Kant." Fatiz's face was solemn.
"That's it." Kant nodded.
It was the tranquility before the storm, and it was dark before dawn.
Expeditionary Army of the Grey Mane Kingdom.
As long as the sentinel oasis can sustain it, then you can get an excellent return.
For example, more top-level troops, safer territories, and the hegemony of the Naron Desert, all will be held by Kant in the hands, relying on this barren land to grow up until a real, heart-wrenching castle is built.
Standing in this oasis of sentries.
Return to the ruling hall.
Kant began to plan and arrange in the future.
For example, in the current "Drechem" fortress, there is a serious shortage of housing.
The city wall loft was added to allow soldiers to sleep inside, without having to sleep in bunkers and tents.
But civilian buildings are still rare.
The most typical is the Svadia house, which currently has only 7 houses.
"System, build buildings."
Kant frowned slightly, sitting in his place and giving instructions about the building.
The system pops up a dialog box instantly.
The dense list above shows the buildings that Kant can build now.
But he did not hesitate and said directly: "Build 43 houses."
[Ding... system prompt]
[100 dinars per house, 43 houses cost 4300 dinars. 】
[Yes/No choose to build? 】
The system gives a prompt.
"put up!"
Kant's answer is naturally affirmative.
Although the amount of expenditure is huge, reaching a terrible 4,300 dinars, Kant’s current deposit is one-third of the number, but in fact, when 43 houses are built, it is known that the cost of so many dinars is worth .
7 days for the construction of the house.
The simultaneous construction means that Kant will acquire 43 houses in 7 days.
In addition to the 7 houses built before, that is 50.
According to each house can accommodate 10 people to rest, 50 houses can fully meet the living needs of 500 people.
This also means that Kant can continue to obtain 500 civilians.
Because the property of the house still shows this, when the number of houses is greater than the number of civilians currently living, it will attract refugees to settle in the village, and within a short time, the number of civilians in the fortress will be saturated.
This is one of the reasons why Kant purchases a large amount of grain.
More people eat more.
But it is definitely not a waste of food.
So many civilians are not a burden, because Kant can recruit soldiers from these civilians at any time.
Level 1 armies, Swadia recruits, are derived from civilians.
And when the enemy’s offensive is getting stronger and the offensive is getting more and more crazy, causing damage to Kant’s existing forces, these new recruits who have gained experience through successive battles and can be upgraded to higher arms, show that Their value.
As long as there are civilians.
Then Kant's sentry oasis ~ EbookFREE.me ~ has a steady reserve army.
Even if the elite troops were annihilated, Kant would have a chance to come again.
As a defender.
Kant wanted to gain a lot of experience in the enemy's siege. It was really simple. Even as long as these recruits and even farmers were responsible for moving some supplies, after the battle was over, huge amounts of experience were enough to upgrade them.
"And, there is this."
Kant's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the rest of the building interface.
He also suddenly found a very special building in the list of buildings in the fortress.
Bell tower.
