Lord of the Oasis

Time flies, 3 weeks passed quickly.

It's the end of the month.

Sentinel Oasis is still busy, but full of energy.

The civilians are busy in the agricultural and animal husbandry areas on the north side. No one can relax, but no one complains about this kind of life. Instead, they all have happy smiles on their faces, full of love for building their homes.

They are full of energy.

At the celebration banquet, Lord Kant, the lord of this place, promised it.

"Drehem" will not treat any of the subjects badly!

This sentence was spoken by the Lord in person, and it is absolutely authoritative. These civilians who have been plagued by exploitation and war in Calradia expressed absolute applause for this.

So they all make the Sentinel Oasis their home and work hard.

Moreover, this is the land of miracles.

Lord Kant's reputation is even more spread in Calradia. Under the praise of bards, everyone knows that this is a young, benevolent, and philosophical lord. Even the nobles will be respected when they hear this name. , so they will never deceive these ordinary civilians.

And when they came here, they also noticed Kant's kindness.

Because in the poll tax, these civilians only need to pay 1 dinar per week.

On weekdays, he is in charge of eating, drinking, and accommodation.

In Calradia, those greedy nobles who have to break their bones and suck their marrow don't care about the life and death of the civilians in their territories, they only know how to levy taxes, levy taxes, and then expand their army to build stronger troops and plunder other lords. , or respond to the king's call to attack the territories of other kingdoms.

"May God bless Lord Kant."

Thinking of this, the commoners who were still busy with their farm work prayed in their hearts.

Such a good lord is rare.

at this time.

Kant is walking in the attic of the city wall.

Inside, the Virginia marksmen scattered among the city walls and arrow towers respectfully came to Kant, bowed and saluted him, without any pretense of level 5 arms, and complimented Kant very much.

"Did you find anything unusual?"

Come to the top of the arrow tower in the northeast corner.

Kant stood in the 10-meter-high arrow tower, overlooking the rolling sand dunes to the north.

The marksman behind him replied, "No, Lord, everything is normal."

"very good."

Kant nodded and said at the same time, "Keep an eye on me."

"Yes." The marksman replied.

Although they had already defeated the expeditionary army of the Greymane Kingdom, and sold all the captives into slaves, basically annihilating these people from the coast of Mannheim, they still had to be vigilant.

God knows if those higher gnolls will continue to send people over.

After all, the Graymane Kingdom on the coast of Mannheim is an independent kingdom force, and it is very simple to send someone over to inquire about the results of the expedition.

And the most crucial point.

Manid, 30 dromedary camels, and a camel team of 20 desert robbers have gone deep into the Naluun Desert to collect coarse salt from the natural salt mine. It has been three days and it is estimated that they will be back soon.

Dromedary camels are as fast as desert horses in the desert.

Kant spent 20,000 dinars to buy another 20 dromedary camels, which are no different from the previous 10. They are all desert boats, elves that can walk briskly among the dunes.

And the ability to carry loads is even better.

"There is a situation."

Kant just wanted to walk down the arrow tower.

At the same time, the sharp-eyed Virginia Marksman found something in the distance. After careful identification, he immediately reported: "Due to the north, Mr. Manid's camel team is back!"

"Huh?" Kant also turned to look.

After crossing the lush 30 acres of date palm trees, the end of the eyes is still the vast sea of ​​sand.

Frowning slightly.

Naturally, Kant knew that these Vaegian marksmen could not deceive himself.

Waited for a while.

Finally, at the end of the line of sight from the north, a small black dot appeared in the eyes,

Although it still doesn't look real, Kant still smiled and praised: "Well done."

Vaegir Marksman's vision is much better than his.

Leave the Arrow Tower.

Kant speeded up his inspection of the city walls.

In fact, there is no need to patrol, and the soldiers are very conscientious.

It is not so much to say that this is an inspection of the city wall, it is better to say that Kant is venting his energy. After all, after the end of the city defense battle that week at the beginning of the month, with the arrangement of various constructions in the fortress, the sentry oasis has returned to peace. He has nothing more to deal with.

All I can do every day is to walk around and see my new changing territory.

That's all there is to change.

After three weeks, Kant was already a little boring.

Although the previous days were a bit tense and a bit depressed, he was still quite full, and now he suddenly relaxed, which made him a little uncomfortable.

After inspecting the city walls, Kant walked down the stairs.

The three Swadian sergeants who followed behind were following with their burly bodies swaying.

This is his bodyguard.

"Mr. Kant, good morning."

"Dear Lord, hello."

"Good morning, my lord."

The civilians on the street greeted Kant eagerly.

"Okay." Kant nodded in return.

As a noble, he deserves to enjoy this kind of respect. After all, he is still the lord here. If in Calradia, these commoners greet the lord disrespectfully, they will be rewarded by the lord according to his temper or reward. A leather whip, or people can be caught and thrown into the cell, to squeeze out a ransom that is enough to go bankrupt.

It's just that Kant sneered at this, a group of lords who were poor and crazy because of the war.

Walk along the street.

The slight sweetness is permeating, and the sugar workshop is making date palm honey candy.

Those careful peasant women and citizens who know how to measure have been able to boil sugar on a large scale, cut them into thumb-sized candy cubes, put them in rattan baskets, and put them in a cooler underground storage room to prevent them from being sunburned by high temperatures.

Now there are 20 baskets of date palm sugar in the storage room of the Consulate Hall, all of which were boiled during this period.

Waiting for Manid's camel caravan to bring back the coarse salt.

All are processed into expensive fine white salt in the salt workshop, and will be transported together to the Stone Pass.

The Principality of Lions is not only short of salt, but also of sugar.

These rough date palm honey candies are also precious sugars.

And the sweetness is more intense and prominent than pure honey, and it will definitely become another cooperative business with Stone Pass like these salts, and the amount of trade will also be larger.

Of course, if Kant wants to expand trade, the more than 3,000 sets of gnoll chain mail and two-handed tomahawks seized can be sold for sky-high prices at the Stone Pass, and even Baron Dylan can't eat them. , or the southern county directly under the king can eat the whole.

After all, according to the proportions of the gnoll's body.

One set of chain mail can be cut into two sets suitable for human beings, and a two-handed battle axe can be smelted and rebuilt, and at least 4 long swords can be made.

This is a great strategic resource!

It is impossible for Kant to sell rashly, causing suspicion from the Principality of the Lion.

The "motherland" that is close to him does not need to cross the Devil's Land. It takes more than 30 days of desert to reach the southern part of the Nalen Desert. If those greedy nobles want to, they can appear outside the city walls of "Drehem" in a week.

Although his elite troops can ensure that he is not afraid of the threat of these nobles.

But it would also interfere with the development of "Drehem".

Now the promoted building is under construction, and the construction workers from Suno are responsible for the construction. The barracks that takes the most time can be completed on the last day of the month.

At that time, it is the moment when "Drehem" is officially upgraded to a castle.

Before that, I planned to personally lead the team to the Stone Pass, continue to communicate with my uncle of Baron Dylan, explore the road by the way, familiarize myself with the terrain in the Sangwaya Mountains, and plan to establish a village in a hidden place.

This is his main purpose.

He had imagined at the beginning that even if there were no villages, he wanted to build a logging farm in the Sangwaya Mountains.

Especially the expedition that defeated Greymane Kingdom.

Kant has completely brought natural salt mines under its control, and it is also on the agenda to increase the production of fine white salt.

This will also consume a lot of firewood, and the daily fire for cooking, as well as the sugar making in the sugar workshop, all require firewood as fuel, and it is obviously not enough to rely solely on the date palm trees that were cut down before.

The establishment of new villages will alleviate this problem.

Although I don't know which country's village will be randomly selected.

But in his heart, Kant had already positioned the village that he intended to build in the Sangwaya Mountains as a logging farm and a slave-catching land.

Provides a large amount of high-quality charcoal for Sentinel Oasis.

And for Kant, provide a large number of low-level gnolls.

After all, in this mountain range that blocks the Nalen Desert and the Principality of Lions, I don’t know how many small groups of low-level Gnoll tribes thrive in it. And more.

After all, although the mountains are barren, it is obviously easier to live than the desert!

Go back to the Consulate.

Kant didn't wait too long, and Manid and his camel team came back in a hurry.

After properly arranging the tasks of the salt-making workshop, Manid took off his linen robe, tidied up his appearance, and after making sure that there was no rudeness, he quickly entered the hall.

"Lord Kant, I'm back."

Manid first bowed and saluted, saying hello to Kant.

"Well done." Kant nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down, drink some water first, and eat something."

"Thank you very much."

Manid continued to thank him respectfully.

The peasant woman who prepared the food next to him brought it over and placed it in front of Manid.

Freshly baked bread.

As well as sweet wheat porridge, as well as fresh fried lamb and fried eggs.

Pretty hearty food.

Manid, who was already hungry, did not hesitate. He was familiar with Kant's character. After continuing to thank him, he quickly devoured it, but he also guaranteed the most basic etiquette in front of Kant, the lord.

After eating quickly, he wiped the corners of his mouth and apologized to Kant: "I hope there is no rudeness, my lord."
