Lord of the Oasis

Chapter one hundred and fifty eight.

The peasant women are cooking lunch.

The soldiers who participated in the war also used this period of time to make a preliminary clearing of the battlefield.

The main thing is to properly place the bodies of the dead.

However, as the defender of the city, the casualties of Kant's troops were obviously better than those of the gnolls on the siege side.

Just outside the city wall on the east side, the flowing blood had dyed the sand red, and under the sand dunes not far away, those corpses with arrows all over their bodies, or their brains cracked, had been neatly arranged.

Of the 3,000 elite gnolls from the coast of Mannheim, more than half of them were killed, which was extremely tragic.

The gnolls that survived were all wounded.

But no one pity them.

As invaders, these gnolls must have the consciousness to bear the defeat after the defeat.

There was no food and water to send up, instead, those desert robbers brought flax ropes, raised eyebrows and raised their eyes, shaking their faces, and tied the hands of these gnolls from their backs.

Not far away, Fatis is still leading the cavalry, deterring these prisoners to avoid accidents.

But there was no resistance.

These gnolls were actually tied up like they were obedient.

These Gnoll Expeditionary Forces, who have not eaten to supplement their physical strength for many days, and are extremely dehydrated, have no ability to resist.

When the madness recedes like a flashback.

They are getting weaker and weaker.

It was so easy, the desert robbers tied their hands on their backs, and slapped and kicked these gnoll captives to the south of the city gate to stand up, because right there, the caravan leader from Zhiwading, Jocelyn, Looking at these lost gnoll captives with a smile on their faces, and occasionally chatting with Manid next to him, the two laughed more eagerly.

With the thousands of gnoll captives acquired, the caravan leader Jocelyn could imagine how warmly he would be greeted by the nobles and iron ore owners when he returned to Zhivadin.

The Kingdom of Vicia is located in the snowy plains and has less food production, so the population is small.

Ke Pian Pian Xue originally had huge reserves of iron ore. With just a little bit of mining, high-quality iron ore can be excavated into baskets.

This made the Kingdom of Vikya a little embarrassed.

The population of its own kingdom is small, and in the ancient cold weapon era, mining ore was a dangerous job. Ordinary Vicia civilians would not go to work at all. There was no better choice than buying captives to become mining slaves.

The main economic pillar of the Kingdom of Vikya is precisely these high-quality iron ore.

In order to mine a large amount of ore and smelt it into iron ingots, almost every year, the Kingdom of Vicia buys a large number of slaves.

you can say it this way.

Part of the slave trade on Calradia was fueled by the Kingdom of Vikia.

There is now a new source of slaves in the Kingdom of Vicia.

It is Lord Kant in the Land of Miracles. As long as there are enough dinars, those gnoll miners who are more useful than human miners, as long as they are trained, rest for a while, and are well-tuned, they are completely the best miners. Strong and strong, they know how to order, and they can mine and excavate day and night when they are full. They are very popular among mine owners.

Of course, Kant also welcomes this.

These mine owners of the Kingdom of Vikia are his big customers, otherwise the steady stream of dinars would not be able to appear in his pocket so easily and become a boost for the upgrade of "Drehem".

A good thing for all to enjoy.

Just inside and outside the city walls, everyone is still busy.

The feeling of sympathy with the enemy disappeared.

But there is no excitement of the winner, but a touch of sadness.

The familiar faces in the past turned pale in this battle, lying on the sand, wrapped in white linen, and became a memory that only existed in everyone's impressions.

They are well-deserved warriors guarding the fortress, and they are also the heroes who hold the line to the end.

Facing the gnoll's powerful melee combat ability.

These dead soldiers, in fact, even the corpses are somewhat mutilated.

The peasant women in charge of grooming,

When the bodies of the dead were collected, the eyes were all red, even if they saw many of these civilians who lived and died, such a tragic battle, such a terrifying wound, in Calradia continent, apart from the large-scale clusters between kingdoms and kingdoms It is rare to see such a tragic situation outside the decisive battle of the troops.

It is for this reason that the large amount of linen bought in the Zivadin caravans.

Although they were killed.

But Kant, as a lord, will never forget their contribution.

Although they have been killed, they can use a towel to wipe off the blood on their faces, and use a white linen cloth as a shroud to give them respect and honor after death, which can be regarded as an afterthought.

It is also an incentive for the surviving soldiers.

Lord Kant will not forget anyone.

………………

The sun is rising to the sky.

The temperature of the Naluun Desert suddenly increased, forming a rolling heat wave that spread throughout the desert.

noon.

Sentinel Oasis, the battlefield has been basically cleaned up.

The corpses were all separated and stacked and arranged to facilitate the post-war inventory.

The attic of the city wall and the inside and outside of the city gate as the main battlefield, the ground full of blood was also splashed and washed with clean water by the careful militiamen, so that the original yellow-orange sand returned to its color, and the rich bloody smell became lighter.

Basically done.

The peasant women also came over and shouted for the resting soldiers to start a meal.

In the kitchen next to the Consulate, the barrels of lunch have been prepared, steaming and fragrant.

Because it is made in a hurry, it is no different from the previous food.

But many soldiers who ate in batches also had expectations on their faces, because they saw that in the kitchen, the batch of desert antelopes that were hunting at the end of the month had been dragged out and hung on the wall with 10 heads, under the kitchen knives in the hands of peasant women, Quickly cut and peeled, and disemboweled, took out the internal organs, it seemed that they were preparing for the evening celebration banquet.

There are also barrels of malt wine, which were launched by the Riwadin caravan in the grocery store. Obviously, at the celebration party tonight, these delicious malt wines that can fascinate the nerves are absolutely indispensable.

This made the faces of the soldiers who survived the tragic battle and won the battle a little more joyful.

Eat lunch in batches.

In the Consulate, Kant took his place.

On the opposite sides of the long table are Fatis and Manid, who have already dealt with things, and the caravan leader Jocelyn.

It's lunch time.

At the same time, it was also when the two reported the results to Kant.

Since it is not a secret matter, the caravan leader Jocelyn did not avoid suspicion and leave. Besides, for Kant, this businessman from the system Calradia continent can be regarded as half his own, at least he will not secretly collude with this world. Aboriginal people, let alone betray Kant, and sell out vital materials.

The four ate the food first. After all, they had not eaten breakfast because of this battle.

After half full.

"Well, it's almost eaten." Kant wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Who will tell us how our results were?" Looking at Fatis and Manid, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile: "This battle I am still looking forward to the outcome.”

"I'll come first." Manid nodded slightly, stood up and saluted respectfully.

After organizing the language, his voice was complacent: "Lord Kant, this battle is an epic victory in my opinion. We captured 1,432 gnolls, and each person comes at 50 dinars. Calculated, we received a total of 71,600 dinars, which is also a huge sum of money in my opinion, to be honest.”

"Of course." Kant nodded with a bright smile on the corner of his mouth.

When those gnolls were captured and escorted to the carriage of the caravan, he already knew the specific number of the money, and the huge sum of 71,600 dinars had also been mixed with the deposit balance, turning it into an even more terrifying amount. number.

【Deposit: 149130 Dinars】

With less than 1,000 dinars, Kant's deposit will break into 150,000.

in Calradia.

Ability to open 15 of the most expensive and most popular velvet dye factories in any town.

If this still can't prove the value of this huge sum of money, then convert it into the cavalry pillar of the Swadia Kingdom, those 4th-level armored heavy cavalry, Swadia heavy cavalry, 5,000 people a week's maintenance cost.

And just this week.

These are purely armoured and heavy cavalry units, not to mention Calradia.

even on earth.

On the battlefield of any era except modern times, in field battles from ancient and modern times, these 5,000 Swadian heavy cavalry are enough to become the main force to completely defeat the enemy corps, such as torrents, breaking the enemy's formation.

Because these 5000 frontal charge can be called invincible heavy cavalry.

Even infantry with a number of 100,000 cannot hold it, and will be directly defeated by this turbulent torrent until the formation collapses.

Kant's smile grew brighter.

Just thinking about it in his head, it was a wonderful moment for him.

For this reason, he looked at the caravan leader Jocelyn, with a smile on his face: "I will hold a celebration banquet tonight, I hope you bring enough malt wine this time, this time I will let the soldiers let go and drink ."

"Completely enough." Jocelyn nodded affirmatively.

"Very good." Kant smiled.

Nothing soothes the souls of postwar soldiers more than alcohol.

If it is the custom of Calradia, there will not only be alcohol, but also pen dinars, as a reward for these brave people, but most of the time, it is thrown into the hands of the tavern owner, as well as those prostitutes with white flowers. The chest was worthy, and in the end, because of the various taxes of the lord, he returned to the lord's bank.

Of course, Kant also handed over these purchasing matters to Manid to handle.

However, Kant turned his head and saw the solemn expression on Fatis' face.

He also frowned slightly, followed by Fatis, who reported the battle damage of this battle.
