Lord of the Oasis

Asage's body was like a rag bag, picked up by farmers outside and intended to be burned.

There has never been peace between races.

Kant would never let go of this high-level gnoll who knew his own existence, especially when Asage showed the wisdom and mind of a human being, and it was destined to die, it was only a matter of time.

Because Kant needed it to tell the situation on the coast of Mannheim.

When you understand the details, its real value is gone.

Naturally, Kant wouldn't care about the situation in the Kingdom of Greymane and the coast of Mannheim, whether it was true or false. He only needed to know that there was such a place on the opposite side of the Naron Desert.

It reminded him of Middle Eastern deserts.

Merchants from the Middle East traveled across the desert to the eastern Mediterranean coast to resell their wares to European merchants.

This is an extremely profitable trade.

In particular, Kant owns a salt mine, which can produce a large amount of high-quality refined white salt, which can still allow this trade to continue, because the races on the coast of Mannheim are not only the gray mane kingdom of the gnoll.

There is also the gnoll kingdom with prosperous maritime trade, which belongs to the elf council of the colony.

Offended the gnoll, as well as these two.

Kant, who came from the southern part of the Nalen Desert, was a businessman who came from afar. He was a trustworthy friend.

The principle of close friendship and close attack prevails in any world.

What's more, no one would go to war in a foolish way, apart from the moat in the Nalen Desert.

After all, humans are not very patient gnolls.

This is why Manid is optimistic. As a Nord who came to Calradia across the sea, he understands this truth, because the desert is not an ocean, and can be reached by wind and waves.

As long as the Sentinel Oasis maintains friendly trade with the races of the Mannheim coast, even Greymane business can be done.

In the face of interests, hatred is only a means of politicians.

Of course, just before that, the expedition force of the Greymane Kingdom will definitely be defeated in the Naron Desert,

If they occupy the sentry oasis, it would be an absolute failure for Kant and the others.

Kant needs to come up with a victory to prove himself against the forces on the coast of Mannheim.

Cowards cannot guard their own interests.

In the Consulate Hall, Kant, Manid, and Fatis had a very cautious conversation. Since he has decided to take this road, he should plan as soon as possible, especially in the face of those gnolls in the Greymane Kingdom, who may come to attack at any time. situation, but also prepare as soon as possible.

While the three of them were talking, the sound of hooves came from outside the wooden door.

The Salander rider pushed in the door, saluted respectfully, and reported, "Lord Lord, we're back from our inspection tour."

"Well, very good." Kant nodded.

5 Salander riders led a cavalry team of 40 desert robbers. Even 46 Swadian heavy cavalry had to be handled with caution. After all, these light cavalry with short javelins could not beat them at close range. Fighting and running, harassing like flies, this is very easy for the gangsters from the Sarand desert.

"We also captured a group of gnolls." The Salander rider continued to report.

"How much?" Kant asked.

"About 120. They are more difficult to catch. After killing more than 300 gnolls, these guys were scared and surrendered." The Salander rider shrugged his shoulders, his tone a bit regretful: "Otherwise, more prisoners will be captured."

But Kant's face was slightly stunned, and he asked: "120 captives?"

"That's right." The Salander rider nodded affirmatively.

Kant couldn't help but praise: "Well done."

He had long expected that these bandits armed with machetes would have no problem slaughtering the small gnolls who were scattered, but he did not expect that they could capture 120 gnolls.

Calculated at 30 dinars each, it can bring 3600 dinars of craftsmanship to Kant.

"The captive trade really makes money."

Kant couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time told the Salander rider, "Take it to the training ground and take care of it."

"Understood." The Salander rider took the order and left.

However, Kant also had some regrets, and said to Manid and Fatis next to him: "I suddenly regret killing that high-level gnoll Asage. I really don't know how many dinars he can sell."

"We'll know when those expeditions arrive." Manid smiled comfortingly.

The Naron Desert will exhaust the last strength of the gnoll expeditionary army, and Kant and the others, who are standing in the fortress, can completely watch these gnolls sit still, and when they are weakest, launch a fatal blow and win the victory.

This is Kant's strategic plan.

"Go out and see."

Kant stood up and walked outside.

Manid and Fatis also stood up and followed behind.

So many gnoll captives are indeed good news. When Zhivadin's caravan arrives, they can replenish Kant's denar deposit, which has already consumed more than half.

Get out of the concourse.

Kant was walking along the street, and the 5-meter-high city wall blocked his view in the distance.

The continuous sand sea that can be enjoyed at any time has now been blocked by the city wall and cannot be enjoyed at any time.

This may also be a pity.

But Kant smiled and shook his head, throwing the thoughts out of his mind. Without these city walls, it is estimated that when the expedition of the gnolls arrives, he will be forced to withdraw from the sentry oasis, and he will also lead the wolves into the house and take away the greedy people of the Lion Principality. The nobles are all attracted to be able to reluctantly defeat these gnoll expeditionary forces who came for plunder and aggression.

This is a guarantee of safety!

Walking to the training ground of the military area on the east side, in the open field, hundreds of gnolls were squatting on their hands and feet tied with hemp ropes.

Groups of desert robbers are waiting beside their horses.

There were also several desert robbers with reckless personalities, who were riding on horses, carrying machetes in circles with the group of Gnoll captives.

The flamboyant appearance, the bad jokes, and the dirty jokes immediately caused the desert robbers to laugh, but it made these gnoll captives look even more pitiful.

"Why do you think I'm the villain in the drama?"

Kant shrugged helplessly.

Fatis didn't answer, but Manid nodded affirmatively: "Look at these little cuties, it's really pitiful, I don't think we should abuse them, after all, they are walking dinars."

"I like that statement." Kant nodded with a smile.

Walking quickly, the desert robbers also discovered Kant.

All of them quickly and solemnly stood by, and at the same time, they respectfully greeted Kant and behaved extremely respectfully.

"You did a good job."

Looking at the respectful looks of these desert robbers, Kant nodded secretly and asked, "Are there any casualties in the process?"

"No, my lord, they are weak like chickens." A desert robber replied.

Immediately everyone laughed softly.

However, because Kant was here, they all seemed very polite. Although they were gangsters, they were also gangsters who had been adapted by Zhao'an. The bad images they left behind did not want to appear in front of their lord.

Kant didn't care about their restrained appearance.

Just no casualties.

The light cavalry formed by these desert robbers is one of his trump cards at present. If a few people are killed at will, this business is not worthwhile.

"Keep an eye on them." Kant told these desert robbers.

Turning his head to Manid behind him, he said, "You come to arrange these prisoners. It is estimated that Zhivadin's caravan is coming soon. When the time comes, sell these prisoners directly to them and buy more food and tools."

"Understood." Manid nodded, his occupation is a businessman, and it is very easy to do these things.

Kant said to Fatis again: "You also go to work, arrange sentries and patrols to ensure the safety of the sentry oasis."

"As ordered." Fatis responded.

After basically everything was arranged, Kant nodded and walked to other places. He planned to inspect his territory.

After all, after the upgrade, he has to take a good look.

Coming to the east gate, Kant walked like a spread on the city wall.

He is also observing his own territory.

In the entire sentry oasis, there is still a lot of vacant land, which is the land reserved in advance for future construction.

Since the funds are not sufficient, it can only be used as an open-air warehouse for storing sundries.

200 farmers are busy.

But for the current fortress, the number of civilians is still very small, and a lot of work cannot be carried out for the time being.

For example, harvesting Achnatherum splendens occupies many civilians.

In addition, feeding the livestock, processing the fodder, and leveling the land requires a lot of manpower.

"There's still a shortage of people."

Kant sighed deeply.

The special effects of houses can attract civilians, but the activation of this special effect is only activated when there is a shortage of people, and the houses can only be activated when there is room. Now that several houses are full of people, this special effect will not appear at all.

To increase the population, in addition to temporary system characters, you can only build more houses.

Kant had already anticipated this.

The area of ​​the entire "Drehem" fortress is roughly half a hectare.

This is only the area inside the city walls.

And this is enough for the current territorial construction, covering most of the buildings.

When all the buildings are completed, perhaps the inside of the city wall will not be as empty as it is now, and it will become crowded.

This will also lead to the next upgrade of "Drehem", which will become a real castle at that time. The buildings within these walls will become internal buildings, which are the core area of ​​the castle's continued expansion.

"Well, the caravan is here."

Out of the corner of Kant's eyes, he noticed something, turned his head to look, it was a caravan.

The familiar caravan leader rode his horses in front, 6 caravan guards rode their horses to follow, and 12 sentries guarded 5 carriages on foot. The same configuration as when they first arrived, the caravan from Zhivadin.
