Chapter 125: . Busy morning in Week 6

The return of Manid and the caravan was close to late night.
The stars are bright and the moonlight is bright and clean.
As the distance drew closer to the fortress, a smile appeared on their faces.
have to go home.
But the guards in charge of the "Drechem" stronghold had no smile on their faces.
At the top of the arrow tower, the Wikia archer, with the wide vision brought by the height, has already at the end of his eyes to find the black spots that are quickly approaching in the hazy night in the distance.
They are all experienced veterans and excellent archers who have come out of chaotic wars.
Be alert.
Not to mention coming to this world, the Knights of Fatiz had reminded them that Lord Kant had many enemies, and no one could trust him except the five nations from Caladea.
This is still considering what these Vickias and Salanders said.
Fatis said to the Swadians, but no one except the Swadians could believe it.
But these well-sighted Vikya archers have noticed that strangers are approaching.
Give notifications quickly.
In the desert robber camp, ten elite desert robbers immediately came out fully armed, led their desert horses in the stable, and quickly rushed out of the east gate slowly opened for them.
As light cavalry on night, they will go to investigate after receiving the news.
If you are a friend, take the lead.
If they are enemies, they will circle with them at the speed of the light cavalry.
They from the Salander Desert have similar experience.
And 10 Swadia infantry and 20 Swadia light infantry have also appeared behind the city gate. If anything happens, they will take the lead in defending the city gate and insist on the arrival of reinforcements.
In order to deal with the expeditionary army of the Grey Mane Kingdom that may appear at any time, the sentry oasis is fully prepared.
But soon, their original vigilance became milder.
The archer on the arrow tower has been informed that the comer is a friend.
Because behind the sand dunes, the elite 10 desert robbers who were exploring were just behind them, as if they were loyal guards, not only friendly but also very modest.
The Wikia archers are thoughtful.
Especially when I looked at the three carriages full of cargo, I already understood it.
This strange team arriving late at night is actually the caravan that they started when they arrived at the "Drechem" fortress. The leader is the Nordic genius businessman who has long been famous throughout the continent of Kaladea. Ned.
The city gate, which was made of thick wooden boards, was slowly opened.
Swadia's infantry and light infantry stood straight on both sides, full of energy, and showed no boredom at night.
Manid came in on horseback.
Behind him were 10 Salander riders and 30 desert robbers.
There are also three carriages full of cargo.
"Manid, welcome back."
Having received news, Fatis, who was resting and sleeping, immediately got up and hurriedly drove the horse.
Looking at the full load of cargo, and the tiredness on the faces of Manid and the cavalry, Fatiz also nodded thoughtfully: "It is a pleasure to see you return safely, but I think what you need most is to return Take a good rest in your own room."
"This is really the most needed." Manid nodded with a wry smile.
From the sentry oasis to the Jianshi Pass.
From Jianshi Pass to the sentry oasis.
It took 7 days to toss back and forth, and trekking in the desert alone had a full 5 days and 5 nights.
The strongest Saranda riders are exhausted.
What's more, Manid, a businessman, was almost exhausted to collapse on the way back.
"People have prepared food." Fatiz looked at his tired appearance and said, "Something to add strength. Lord Kant means that if there is no urgent matter, then it will be good to report tomorrow."
"Thank you, Lord Kant." Manid gratefully acknowledged.
Return to the ruling hall.
The chefs brought the food to the long table.
Roasted fluffy, honey-coated bread, and porridge stewed with chopped antelope meat and wheat kernels.
There are also dates that can quickly replenish physical strength, just like energy bars.
"Hurry up, it's been a hard journey."
Kant sat in his seat and said to Manid next to the long table: "These are easy-to-digest foods. When noon the next day, I will have a feast alone here to welcome your return."
"Your kindness impressed me very much, Master Kant." Manid stood up and stroked his chest respectfully to bow.
"You're welcome." Kant smiled and nodded. "Hurry up."
Manid ate it with a big mouthful, and he was hungry, without the etiquette that he usually pays attention to.
After any hard journey, he can be patient in the face of tempting food.
At least Manid couldn't stand it.
Outside the door, Fatis walked in and saw that Manid was eating bread and drinking porridge, smiling slightly, the two had known each other for a short time, but he had never seen this proud and tutored promise German genius businessman, swallowing food so impolitely.
This is the first time.
With a smile on his mouth, Fatis realized that his friend was really tired and hungry.
Instead of mocking him, instead, he reported to Kanthui: "Adults, cavalry's food and beds are ready, and the patrol mission tomorrow morning has excluded them. I gave them a day off."
"It should be." Kant nodded.
Manid eats quickly.
In the supper prepared in the kitchen, there is not much honey bread.
Instead, the meat porridge boiled a pot, and Manid ate three bowls in a row.
These boiled grated wheat grains, plus chopped antelope meat, mixed with chopped cabbage and flour, the porridge is very thick and easy to digest. It is the best choice for returning from a long journey.
The cavalry outside also ate this.
The porridge drank his stomach and warmed his body, dispelling the night's coldness.
Finished supper.
Manid's stomach bulged slightly.
If you don’t know, it’s not easy to eat too much after a long journey, and Manid has three more bowls of porridge.
"have a rest."
When Kant saw that he had finished eating, he nodded and said, "We will share lunch together at noon tomorrow."
"My honor." Manid and Fatis nodded respectfully.
This is of course Kant's arrangement for the two.
After all, it was late at night, and Manid hurried back all the way, and his spirit and physical strength were long gone.
Take a good rest first, and when you report tomorrow, you will be energetic, but there will be no omissions in the details.
Kant returned to his third floor room.
The rooms of Fatis and Manid are on the second floor.
Outside the ruling hall, the tranquility of the night was restored. Except for the night guard and the two teams of light infantry patrolling the fortress, the entire "Drechem" fortress was extremely quiet.
The night is getting deeper and it has already entered into the night.
A grunt came from the residential area and the city wall.
Everyone slept soundly.
Time passed.
The sentry on the arrow tower was also replaced twice, until the deepest moment of the night, when the east horizon showed a bit of brightness.
It's getting bright.
There was a little noise in the five henhouses at the wheat field wall on the north side of the city wall.
The sand grouse inside seemed to feel something.
When a ray of light pierced the dawn, almost in no particular order, five male sand grouses with crowns appeared on the roof, flapping their wings, stretching their muscular body, and raising their necks, just like the domestic chicken. .
"Giggle--"
The rooster reported.
After all, the light pierced the rich darkness and brought the dawn message.
The sky quickly became brighter in the shortest time.
"Boom--Boom--Boom--"
The bronze bell was struck and a pleasant and long bell sounded.
The bell tower, which is about to be completed, was installed yesterday and was struck by the construction worker who woke up in the morning. This long bell followed the chirping of the chicken, and a new day arrived.
In the residential area, farmers and peasant women opened doors and windows.
The sound of washing came.
Soon, they were all energetic and came out neatly.
The busy and fulfilling day started again.
In the reinforced attic of the city wall, the bowmen who had woken up came out.
Now these lofts surrounding the city walls have basically become the places where the crossbowmen sleep at night, wrapped in thick wool blankets, and lined with linen pads underneath them. Even the cold night can't help them.
If an enemy invades, all the staff can arrange the defense line at the fastest speed.
of course.
The infantry and cavalry still sleep in tents and bunkers.
The 3-meter-wide city wall is not enough to allow too many soldiers to sleep on it. If they are really crowded in these lofts, it is estimated that there are real enemies invading, but they will also hinder their feet and cause some minor troubles.
For safety reasons, it doesn’t matter much if you temporarily sleep in a sandpit before the military camp is established.
As busy as ever.
Soldiers patrol, or go out to investigate, otherwise they are practicing martial arts on the training ground.
Farmers continue to take care of wheat fields and date palm forests.
And feed the sand grouse with grains~EbookFREE.me~ Let these little cute lay eggs as soon as possible.
Just a few days ago, the farmer women have discovered that these 50 sand grouses, like domesticated chickens, produce more than 50 eggs a day, feeding enough grain, and sometimes even more than 60 eggs.
It really has economic value like chicken.
It is as if these chickens are simply a hybrid of domestic chickens and sand grouses, inheriting all the advantages of both sides.
The green smoke rose up.
The kitchen began to prepare everyone's breakfast.
Large amounts of bread and flour, as well as antelope meat, piles of salami, and air-dried meat were gathered.
Food that is close to about 600 people is not so easy to make.
PS: It’s really air-conditioned, oh my! Cool! Today this is the first change, the next change is in the afternoon, and another change is made in the evening, and the fifth change is appropriate. Look at my performance. I say that, the air conditioner gave me absolute support for my codeword career! Please wait and see!
