Lord of the Oasis

Temporary camps are still being built.

But the performance is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Even after the construction is completed, a high degree of vigilance is still maintained.

Everyone knows that there may be a tragic battle tonight. Since the enemy wants to make a sneak attack, how can they, who have already been prepared, let those damned guys wish?

Everyone squinted in the tent for a short rest, trying to get enough energy to wait for the next battle.

But dinner still started cooking.

The usual mix of bread and dried meat, sausages, and freshly bought pork, plus some cabbage and squash, and chickpeas cooked in a large cast iron pot.

Sprinkle with a little salt and spice and it tastes great.

There is no way to enjoy delicious food during the march, and it is time to celebrate after returning to the village.

There is no way.

The sun sets in the west, and dusk finally comes.

The west-sloping sun casts a long shadow, as if terror pervades it. This is the shadow of war.

"coming."

Kant muttered to himself calmly.

Dusk is the best time for war. Taking advantage of the comfort of supper to catch the enemy by surprise is like sleeping the sweetest in the dark before dawn.

The desert robbers who were scattered also came back 66 consecutively. It was dinner time, and everything seemed normal.

Just on the east side, the surveillance continues.

There are also many forests on both sides of the river. Usually, most of them are logging farms run by nobles and villages. However, occasionally there are mercenaries who are short of money and disguised as robbers to rob passing villagers. Robbery, which is very common.

Even those water pirates would often be ambushed in the deep forest, taking advantage of the night to attack the caravans camped in the wild, and some of them also had some villagers as their inner responders.

Those villagers who seem to be honest and honest will not let go of the opportunity to make money, guarding the dry land to live a life, paying taxes to the nobles day after year, and even daily labor, which is still needed during wars. To be a cannon fodder is very miserable.

No one can pass up the opportunity to go further.

If you can leave the countryside and live in the city, then you will have security, not only do you not have to worry about the attacks of robbers and bandits, you will not even have to pay the miscellaneous taxes of the nobles.

The most important thing is to become a citizen, not only can you get a job in the city, but it is also easier to get along with the aristocrats and wealthy people that you hated before, whether it is to become an apprentice of a handicraftsman, or to become a scholar who is wise to read. Much better than this brutal rural poor class in medieval Europe.

Therefore, some villagers who are unwilling to the status quo are also very willing to accept the olive branches handed over by the gangsters, and become their inner responders and eyes and ears to inquire about information for them.

For example it is now.

Ambush in the woods is a group of water pirates from the Reisniston River. Most of the five water pirates have gathered, and they want to have a big action.

They are all lawless guys. They can be water pirates on the Risniston River, and they are surrounded and suppressed by the navies of human nations. They still survive and live well. It is related to the secret collusion of some nobles, but more Or the ferocity of these pirates.

As long as this vote is made, and then escape to other places in the Resniston River to avoid the limelight for two years, and have a lot of fun, it is not a happy place.

In particular, according to some of the villagers who responded, there was about to pass a group of 50 carriages full of treasures, and these water thieves were ready in the shortest time possible.

Even in order to arrange a retreat, they also flattered some of their backstages. They even invited troops led by real knights in the Silver Plate Kingdom.

A team of 50 vehicles full of treasures, this is the news handed down from the upper-level nobles of the Eastern County. It is said that the lord led the troops to defeat a certain sect, of course, it has nothing to do with them, these ferocious water thieves who have no concept of a country don't care who who.

Even the countess of the Eastern Commandery, the Grand Duke of the Lion Principality doesn't care, they only recognize silver coins and golden eagles.

Fleeing outside of the Resniston River and working incognito as a landlord and wealthy townspeople, they don't care.

This is 500 carriages full of treasures, and it is worth at least 500,000 silver coins or more.

According to the 6ooo people they gathered this time, even if a few water pirate leaders and the nobles who colluded in the Silver Plate Kingdom had to share the big head, the rest could get around 5oo big silver coins.

If more people die, the money will be distributed accordingly!

To know.

A landlord who owns 50 mu of land will only have about 30 large silver coins a year.

Even a well-run small and medium-sized caravan earns about 1oo big silver coins a year.

Look at the elite cavalry of the Lion Castle who escorted Kant to the sentry oasis. They worked hard to get 2 big silver coins per person. Of course, it is also related to Kant's methods, but the salary of only 50 small silver coins per month is indeed too much. not enough.

In fact, the currency in this world is still small silver coins, and the big silver coins are used by caravans to settle accounts.

As for the golden eagle, it is purely a transaction currency between countries, big businessmen and big businessmen, top nobles and top nobles.

Each person can share 5oo big silver coins, go to the human kingdoms to buy a house, marry a daughter-in-law, and live a good life, almost no worries in this life.

Even if you eat and drink, you don’t have to worry about it in three or five years. When it’s a big deal, you will come to the Resniston River to be a water thief. Anyway, you are all familiar with it!

Of course, when the days of being a water pirate are enough, who wants to keep their head on the belt of his pants.

It's now.

Everyone's eyes were red, and they planned to defeat the enemy in the dark of night in the next battle.

As long as you win this battle, you will be reborn in the future, and a great day is waiting for you!

"Ugh-"

A short horn sounded.

This was the pre-agreed signal, and on the farms and lumberyards nearby, a group of regular troops appeared.

5o knights, 3oo knight attendants, and 1ooo elite spearmen.

Troops from the Silver Plate Kingdom.

They are all wearing chain mail, even the spearmen are the same. In terms of troop equipment, the regular troops of the Silver Plate Kingdom are undoubtedly one level stronger than the Principality of Lions.

At the rear are nearly 5ooo more than pirates from the Reisniston River. The equipment is uneven, chain armor, chain armor, iron-inlaid leather armor, leather armor, stitched cotton leather armor, and even a thick leather jacket.

As for weapons, long swords, short swords, machetes, hatchets, short spears, short swords, daggers and the like are more, plus many shields spliced ​​with scattered wooden boards.

A group of murderous bandits gathered together, a mob.

Just as they were in action, on the opposite side of a hillside not far away, three desert robbers mounted their horses and left.

But in that group of water thieves, there were more than 300 people with different expressions. They walked at the back and sent a few people to the back. After a while, they became cavalrymen and ran in a big circle, heading towards Kant's temporary camp. The horse galloped away.
