Lord of the Oasis

The data stream disappeared, and the quality of the troops skyrocketed in an instant.

The 500 Swadian light infantry have all been transformed into heavy armor with men and horses, swords, hammers, spears and shields fully armed to the teeth, and the Swadian heavy cavalry who can smash the infantry array brazenly!

The victory brought rich results.

Including the experience points for upgrading all light infantry to advanced units!

And those 11 apprentices.

Upgrades are also allowed.

With Kant's choice, the data stream appeared, wrapped, broken open and disappeared into the void. In the lobby of this post station, the apprentices who were originally wearing white apprentice mage robes have completed their transformation and promotion.

Wearing dark mage robes.

Holding a staff with a large gemstone in it.

The immature young face has also turned into a middle-aged man who has experienced the vicissitudes of life.

They are no longer apprentices who have just walked out of the mage tower and are still in the stage of learning, but masters with advanced spells, various battlefield experiences, and understand a lot of elemental knowledge - formal mage!

"Lord Lord."

The mages bowed and bowed together.

And to the previous 7 seniors, it is also a respectful bow, with an excellent attitude.

Kant nodded with satisfaction: "Yes."

These 18 official mages are better than 30 apprentice mages. Whether it is a large-scale group injury spell, a single powerful spell, or various enhancements, there is a quality improvement.

Before dealing with those demoralized mercenaries, the mages did not cast spells.

for them.

A group of garbage-like mercenaries, taking action is equivalent to wasting precious spell slots.

The extraordinary knights, ordinary knights, and light infantry alone are enough to defeat those mercenaries, and with the little status spells of the apprentices, it is even easier to solve.

The real role of these mages is more effective in intense high-end battles.

small-scale military conflict.

Not yet to be used.

But now, there are times when they come in handy.

Kant waved his hand and arranged: "You 18 mages, all of you continue to go to Aaron with me to study the sun disk temporarily stored in the local area." After a pause, Kant seemed to think of something, but said solemnly: "There is still more research. Mysterious objects left over from the lost city!"

"Follow your orders." The mages nodded.

The town of "Aaron" is located on the top of the mountain.

The top of the mountain where it is located seems to be a surface temple in ancient times, blessed by the mysterious power of strange objects. After thousands of years, it has not disappeared, and the preservation is basically intact.

It has even become the lair of ferocious demonized creatures.

But things are unpredictable.

When Kant took down the sun disc of the surface temple, the temple instantly turned into fly ash and collapsed in front of Kant's eyes, as if it had already disappeared in the long river of time.

Therefore, when facing the ruins of the underground temple, Kant did not act rashly.

There are many valuable items inside.

For example, there are three sun discs, which emit beams of light against the top rock formations of the ruins. After clever refraction, they bring a dim light to the entire huge temple ruins, so that it will not be pitch black.

What's more, the most valuable thing is the golden coffin that is still placed on the stone platform!

Can actually lock the time.

Ten thousand years ago, the blood of the gods has survived to this day.

It has to be said that the coffin actually attracted Kant's curiosity more than its own gold material.

If you can analyze the locked time and the secret of immortality and immortality, it simply represents eternal life. As long as it is a dying creature, it is an ability that everyone yearns for!

"Royal knights, lead the team back to the castle."

Kant immediately arranged: "Knights and heavy cavalry, take care of the captives on their return journey together, disperse these captives and arrange for them to go to the salt mine, pay attention to dispatching troops to patrol the salt mine from time to time to ensure local safety."

"Understood!" Not far behind, the captain of the Royal Knight nodded.

This is a necessary exhortation.

724 prisoners, too many.

Although he was guarded by royal knights and heavy cavalry, there was no trouble.

But in the salt mine, only 30 light infantry and 40 desert robbers, plus the occasional camel caravan and civilians, could not withstand the impact of nearly a thousand people, not to mention there were more than 300 prisoners in the local area.

Even the riot of the prisoners' bare hands is enough to wipe out the salt mine station!

Kant narrowed his eyes.

He naturally did not want to see such a result.

After pondering for a moment, Kant added: "Send a royal knight to lead the 80 newly recruited desert robbers in the past two weeks to station at the Salt Mine Station to prevent possible riots!"

"Yes!" The captain of the Royal Knights behind him answered immediately.

And Kant took a deep breath: "At a critical moment, you can directly suppress it by force!"

The captain of the royal knight also answered decisively: "Understood!"

Captive riots are dangerous.

What's more, when you have just become a slave, have not fully accepted this identity, and have not gone through a period of long-term fatigue and torture, once there is a riot, there will be a herd effect of the same disease, and all of them will riot.

Even if there is an uninhabited desert near the salt mine, there will still be riots to fight for that short-lived freedom.

Although it will eventually be suppressed and pacified.

But the loss caused to Kant is a certain trouble.

After everything was arranged, Kant stood up, and the next thing to deal with was more urgent matters.

He waved his hand and told Rolfe, "Take a good look at this inn and make sure that there will be no problem with the salt trade in the future. If there is no accident, I will pass by the inn at the end of the month, and I will bring back all the golden eagles that I have exchanged."

"Understood." Rolfe said solemnly, "I will do my best."

"Yeah." Kant nodded.

As a well-known villain aristocrat in Calradia continent, Rolfe is notorious, but his ability is certain, which is why Kant dares to let him manage the central station and also handle the caravan trade.

Leave it to Rolf to be in charge of this place, Kant can rest assured!

Kant and the others are ready to continue their departure.

However, the huge team of 30 royal knights, 100 knights and 500 heavy cavalry guards the 724 captured prisoners and trekked away in the direction of the "Drehem" castle.

did not follow Kant.

There are only 10 lion knights, and 18 mages, although Kant went to the town "Aaron".

Ride light.

But these 28 people as followers, it is estimated that a troop of 500 people will arrive, and they will be easily defeated by them. Their real combat effectiveness cannot be measured by the number of people!

10 Lion Knights who are good at melee melee.

18 mages who master various single, group, basic, augmentation, and summoning spells.

How can the combat power be weak?

The combat power is measured by the [Natural Summoning] spell mastered by 18 mages. Each person can summon 5 stone golems, which can be released twice a day, and the total is 180 stone golems.

Each stone golem is an elemental creature and has been treated with magical constructs.

2.5 meters tall.

It is covered with solid stones and mysterious anti-magic runes.

In addition, the two-handed war hammer made of steel in his hand is enough to smash a bloody path among the regular troops composed of flesh and blood, and smash a future!

This is why, the mages are the real main force of spellcasting in the troops of the Ainfas Empire.

Not only single attack spells.

There are also mass destruction spells, mass augmentation spells, and a large number of basic attack spells.

Including positions in key battles, summoning stone golems, and the ability to form an army alone!

If in a certain battlefield, the army's attack is frustrated, or the defense line is in jeopardy due to the enemy's onslaught, these mages can summon stone golems as emergency troops to penetrate the enemy's defense and defeat the enemy's onslaught. The troops were rescued and formed a local battlefield advantage, so as to lead the area with points and form a comprehensive advantage!

The World of War, where the Ainfas Empire is located, the scale of war, the degree of war, and the level of war are much stronger than Calradia, and even Pande can't compare with it!

Even the various battles that Kant has experienced now are as ridiculous as the village chief's infighting.

That's the real imperial cemetery.

The mill of life and death from the race!

All the way to the south.

Baron Dylan led a mercenary group to arrive, and at the same time blocked the Stone Pass, and the caravan was rarely seen in the desert.

Or that no caravan dared to come at the risk of being slaughtered.

Because all the nobles have hinted that their caravans have temporarily stopped the salt trade. After all, they all believe that they have obtained the support of the East County Territory, and Baron Dylan, who is the backer, can easily capture the sentry oasis.

At that time, it is the time period for them to play, it is their moment.

Coercion and inducement in various ways to obtain the ownership of part of the salt mine.

Or directly kill Baron Dylan, set off a new salt distribution, let all the great nobles have enough to eat, unite, and chop off the claws that extend from East County to South County and North County.

When the nobles unite, it can be said that it is equivalent to the strength of the duchy.

This is similar to the feudal era in Europe.

Nobility is like a country.

And the senior nobles are the important pillars of the country!

The mere nobility, or the second son of the duke who has been exiled, will actually disappear silently under the compromise of the various nobles, and not even the history books will record too many things.

This plan is very good, to stop the static and attack.

But.

Things are not as simple as they thought.

Kant is also not what they thought, cowardly and incompetent, with a merciful character and reputation, but was exiled in the desert, without the slightest power, just lucky to discover the salt mine, but he can only surrender to the second son of the duke!

Not at all!

Kant.

The master of the Naron desert.

The powerful overlord of the Lion Principality is about to debut.

How could he fall down because of this small setback, he would simply turn against customers and let these nobles know who is the overlord who made the laws and rules in the Naron Desert!

Just because of the threat from deeper in the desert, Kant can only choose peace temporarily.

Otherwise, the Principality of Lions has already entered the strategic stage.

But it's fine now.

Kant travels to his town in the Sunwaya Mountains in search of a solution to his troubles.
