Lord of the Oasis

"System, build a watchtower."

Kant moved slightly in his heart and contacted the system in his mind.

At the same time, the construction site was placed on the east side of the Consultative Hall. As long as there was any situation, the personnel responsible for the observation above would be able to report the information to Kant in a timely manner and make an early decision.

[costs 100 dinars]

[Watchtower: under construction]

【Completion date: 7 days later】

The system's dialog box appears, the instructions are simple and clear.

And in Kant's ears, there were bursts of noisy sounds.

It seems that there are many people carrying things and shouting horns, but listening to the sound, they don't look like their own Swadia infantry, more like the peasants before.

"What's the matter." Kant frowned.

Turning his head and looking out the window, the sun came, dispelling the darkness of the night.

In a short time, the sky was already bright.

"Let's get up, this night has gone by really fast."

Taking a breath, Kant got up on the bed.

Drowsiness completely disappeared.

In fact, after this bloody battle, Kant's spirit is still relatively high, and he doesn't mean much sleep.

Pushing open the door, he came downstairs again.

"Lord Lord, good morning."

As soon as he walked out of the Consultative Hall, there was a generous voice saying hello.

Kant turned his head to look, but found that it was a burly peasant, wearing crisp linen clothes, bowed respectfully and said, "We are the construction team from Palawen, who will build the watchtower for you."

"Huh? Oh, very good." Kant nodded slightly in response.

It should be a systematically arranged construction team.

At the same time, he turned his head to look at the side of the Consulate, where piles of stones and wood were being placed.

Before walking out of the Consulate, Kant determined that it was still an open space.

However, as the builders moved the stones and started to "tinkle" the wood together with the hammer, he realized that it was also a building material from the system.

There are 15 construction workers.

They are all strong middle-aged men with silent expressions and few words.

Except for this construction captain.

"Lord Lord, there are a few points I would like to explain to you."

With his philistine who does not conform to the simple and honest appearance, he bowed his head and said: "We will serve you here for 7 days to ensure that the watchtower is completed, but during this time, you must ensure that our food and water, and proper rest."

Kant nodded: "It should be."

However, the construction captain still smiled awkwardly and said, "We are not involved in the battle yet."

"You won't be allowed to participate."

Kant shook his head, feeling a little ridiculous at his cowardice and carefulness.

"That's good, that's good." The construction captain nodded quickly, with joy on his face.

Kant also understood his explanation.

This should be the rule of the system. After all, building buildings is the task of these workers.

As for the battle, Kant is in charge.

"You guys keep busy." Kant said casually to the construction captain, and then walked towards the front. There was the battlefield last night. The strong smell of blood has not yet dissipated. On the sand, you can still see a lot of dark red of blood.

It was the trace of a bloody battle.

The infantrymen of Swadia gathered up all the scattered corpses.

The body of the jackal continued to burn directly in the sand pit dug up last night.

At the bottom of the sand dunes not far away, several new large pits have been dug. Two desert robbers are holding torches to ignite the clothes under the corpse. As the fire devours the sand pit, a smell of burnt meat spreads.

Incineration is the same way to dispose of corpses.

When these gnoll corpses are burnt to ashes and buried with sand from the dunes,

Basically, there are no traces left.

But that should not be the case with the 15 Swadian peasants who died.

They were all heroic subjects who died for Kant.

"May they rest in peace."

Kant came to another dune, and 15 grave pits had been dug.

Swadia's recruits and militias, as well as the six desert robbers, gathered.

His face was solemn and solemn.

Although they did not know each other, they had only known each other for the past two days, but with the same feelings as Swadians, they still respected their deaths from the bottom of their hearts.

This is a funeral.

Although it is not grand, it has done better than what it can do so far.

"It's really sad."

There was also a bit of regret on Kant's face.

With his relatively calm heart, there was a little more volatility at this time.

Although it is clear that more soldiers will be lost in future wars, it is the first time that troops have suffered casualties. For Kant, it is a symbol of warning.

If you don't develop, you can only die like this.

Under the solemn faces of many people, the funeral also ended quickly.

To avoid contaminating the groundwater, Kant still required cremation.

However, these fallen peasants enjoyed a separate grave pit, as well as tombstones made of wood, placed under this sand dune, looking at the sentry oasis on the west side, and the "Dehrim" they fought for .

"If there is a spirit underground, bless us."

Kant looked at the fire in the tomb and couldn't help sighing softly.

Although it only took him two days to come to the Sentinel Oasis, but after three bloody battles, he had already seen the cruelty of the Nalen Desert, which was almost completely different from the peace of the Principality of Lions.

The humans and gnolls who died in these two days were estimated to be able to catch up with the total number of prisoners executed by the Lion Principality within five years.

But the day has to move forward.

After the funeral was over, Kant walked towards the Consulate again.

The Swadian recruits and militias dispersed, spontaneously forming patrols and sentries, guarding villages and oases.

"You guys, come with me."

Kant waved to the six desert robbers, signaling to come to the Consulate Hall as well.

He has assignments.

"grown ups."

The six desert robbers stepped forward and stood respectfully in front of Kant.

"That's right." Kant stretched out his hand, indicating that he didn't need so much etiquette.

At the same time, he sat on the wooden chair in the hall, leaning on the table with both hands, and nodded lightly: "I plan to arrange for you to go to the depths of the Naron Desert to explore the possible saline-alkali land, or whether there are other gnolls around. tribe."

"There must be saline-alkali land." A desert robber nodded: "We will find it."

However, another person frowned and said: "If the Gnoll tribe is concerned, there must be some around, maybe there is a connection between the two."

"And saline-alkali land?" Kant frowned.

"Yes." The desert robber said in a solemn tone: "During the night attack, more than 500 gnoll warriors appeared, which not only represents the tribes around them, but also the strength of their tribes, which is more powerful than the gnoll tribes who occupied the sentry oasis before. stronger.

"I got it."

Kant nodded, and he also had guesses in his heart.

After pondering for a moment, Kant frowned and said: "This is also the reason why I let you go deep into the desert and explore the north."

The six desert robbers stood solemnly, waiting for the next words.

And Kant's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he continued: "We are in the light, and those gnolls are hidden in the dark, not knowing where their tribe is, let alone whether there is an oasis in the depths of the desert, the situation is for us, It's too bad."

"Intelligence asymmetry."

The six desert robbers nodded clearly.

They were accustomed to extortion and robbery among the dunes, and naturally understood the importance of intelligence.

"No, I should go with you."

Kant suddenly spoke up.

"Uh." This disturbed the thoughts of the desert robbers, but they still discouraged: "Lord Lord, there are definitely many dangers in the unknown desert. It is too dangerous for you to go with us in person."

Kant shook his head and said firmly, "I thought about it."

The stables also have their own warhorses, which are the preferred mounts for those knights in the lion dukedom.

Compared with the desert horses ridden by these desert robbers, it is not inferior at all. It is almost equal to the level 3 horses in the system.

The mobility of cavalry is several times stronger than that of infantry!

Seeing their lord's eyes resolutely, the six desert robbers could only nod their heads and say, "We will protect you."

"Well, get your water and food ready."

Kant nodded and said solemnly, "Let's go now."

The desert robber nodded and turned to leave at the same time to prepare supplies for the trek in the desert, especially fresh water. He filled more than a dozen bags of water bags to ensure that seven people could drink for two days.

During the night attack last night, more than 500 gnolls attacked.

They fled away, and there were also nearly 400 people.

Following the footsteps, Kant and these desert robbers can find the tribe where these gnolls came.

Know thyself, ever-victorious.

At that time, whether Kant arranges defense and vigilance, or takes the initiative to launch a sneak attack, he will have a target.

At least there is no need to feel that the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. As long as Kant and his troops develop, they can directly destroy the gnoll tribe and continue to use the oasis where they live and have fresh water resources for their own use.

In the desert, an oasis to be able to grow crops, start the good stuff.

Come and don't go indecent.

Just figure out where those gnoll tribes are.

Then Kant's troops can also be dispatched in full force. During a certain period of time, such as the darkest time before dawn, and the most sleepy time, they will give these gnolls a slap in the face.

A raid that makes them unable to turn over!
