Lord of the Oasis

Lunch is in progress.

Daily quota per person, sliced ​​brown bread, grilled oily hand-dried meat, plus 1 bowl of cabbage soup mixed with flour, and finally 2 dates per person as an extra dessert.

As a respectable and honorable lord, Kant's food was added with extra spices.

The food looked good.

There are meat and vegetarian dishes, soups and staples, and desserts.

For ordinary people, this is tantamount to a feast.

Kant knew this well.

In the Principality of the Lion, only citizens with decent jobs in towns, or freedmen in the countryside with their own arable land, can have the extra money to enjoy such a delicious meal.

The backward productivity is not enough to support everyone to eat good food.

Just having the Kant exception of the system.

"I am full."

Putting down the knife and fork in his hand, Kant calmly wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.

However, between his eyebrows, he was also a little helpless.

He's had enough of this food.

It's not that it's not delicious, but that he's been a little tired of eating it for 8 days.

Even though his food was carefully cooked and spices were added, the familiar taste of three meals a day for several days in a row made his tongue protest and he wanted to change things up.

Or change the type of food.

Bread, dried meat, cabbage.

Of course, there are also sun-dried dates.

Chew the sun-dried soft dates in your mouth, and the tempting sweetness fills your mouth immediately.

But Kant shook his head slightly.

No matter how good things are eaten often, they will still feel bland and tasteless.

Put down the handkerchief.

Kant walked towards the second floor of the Consultative Hall, turned his head at the same time, and told the Swadian militiamen who were still eating lunch in the Consultative Hall: "Remember to be vigilant during the lunch break."

"Understood." The militiamen shouted in unison.

Although it was lunch, the vigilance work of Sentinel Oasis actually did not fail.

In particular, the watchtower next to the Consulate Hall has been built, with a height of 8 meters. After going up, they can easily observe the distance of thousands of meters around, which provides great convenience for their vigilance work.

The terrain of the Narun Desert is relatively flat, but it is not a complex mountainous environment.

"Well." Kant nodded and returned to the room on the second floor with confidence.

He believed in their responsibility.

At least these Swadian soldiers never had trouble, and Kant never found them slack.

After all, they came from Calradia continent, a tragic place that had been war-torn and chaotic. Anyone who was careless was probably buried in the soil and became the remains of witnessing the development of history.

Lying on the bed, Kant closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Although not busy, thinking still consumes energy.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the temperature was rising.

The sentry oasis, which is as high as 50°C, also became silent as the lunch ended.

Everyone rested.

This is a hard-earned lunch break. After recuperating, there is still a lot of work waiting for them in the afternoon.

Including military training.

And the tactical training of Swadian militias, recruits, and farmers.

The threat of gnolls has never disappeared, and Kant has never let down his vigilance. He has been assuming possible enemies, so last week, he organized everyone to start training.

The training in the system can increase the experience, so that the troops can be upgraded.

However, it requires [Training Ground], or the leader's own [Training] skill.

This is the real world.

Naturally, Kant does not have data-based skills, so he cannot upgrade his troops in daily training.

The current "Dehrim" is still a village, and there is also no [Training Ground], a building that can increase experience during training.

But that didn't stop them from training.

Although it is impossible to increase experience, it is also impossible to upgrade a level 0 peasant to a level 1 recruit.

It can train combat formations, as well as tactical formations.

In the real world, the battle of blood and flesh has higher requirements for tactical formations, because this is not a messy battle in the game that can be solved in a rush.

At present, Kant has a force of nearly 200 people.

100 Swadian farmers.

30 Swadian recruits.

35 Swadian militias.

17 Desert Bandits (1 can be recruited this week).

and Kant.

There are 183 people in total, and all of them are soldiers who can fight desperately to protect their homes.

Among them, 10 special Swadian militias were also included.

The previous battles have brought enough experience to these 10 militiamen, and as long as Kant pays the dinars required for the upgrade, he can evolve into a more advanced level 3 army at any time.

For example the Swadian Light Infantry.

And the Swadian partisan shooter.

However, for the current Kant, rushing to upgrade is not a good thing.

Because of the damage overflow.

In other words, it is the current Swadian militia, these 2nd-level arms can fully cope with the primitive race of the gnoll, the effect is still very good, and the cost performance on the battlefield is extremely high.

Equipped with tinted leather armor and tinted leather helmet.

Weapons include a heavy spear with an iron-coated front end, a one-handed fighting hoe that can pierce armor, and a hard fan-shaped shield.

And there are hunting crossbows.

Although this kind of crossbow commonly used by hunters is less powerful than the light crossbow in Kant's hands, and the killing distance is only 80 meters, it is still a long-range attack method and is a weapon worthy of recognition.

That's why it is said that the Swadian militia is very cost-effective.

This is an almighty weapon.

Even on the frontal battlefield of the Swadia Kingdom, these militiamen are purely defensive, and if they stay in place, they can temporarily act as a line of defense against the enemy's onslaught.

What's more, in the face of those gnolls, it can better reflect their value!

Kant thought about it carefully.

Dehrim's forces will usher in a new qualitative change as long as they can win the second attack of the gnoll tribe that will appear at some point.

More peasants will be upgraded to Swadian recruits.

Also more recruits, will be upgraded to Swadian Militia.

Even stronger Swadian light infantry.

The war that others feared, in Kant’s view, was an alternative development path. The system was originally based on war to support war. The so-called peaceful development was only a rhetoric before it succeeded, and it was an illusion to paralyze the enemy.

If Kant had 100 Swadian knights, he would not hesitate to declare war on the gnoll tribe.

With the high mobility of cavalry.

And the terrifying combat power of the Swadian knights.

Troops of gnolls pierce through the flat desert, slaughtering them among the dunes.

It's just a pity that he doesn't have 100 Swadian knights.

"Ugh-"

Just as Kant's thoughts diverged, a dull horn sounded abruptly.

It seems to shake the soul.

"what happened."

Kant opened his eyes instantly, and the whole person regained consciousness.

He knew that this was the sound of the horn of the sentry on the watchtower, and when this sound appeared, it represented only the possibility of an abnormal situation.

For example discovering gnoll troops.

Or find suspicious units.

All in all, for Kant and the others, it is necessary to make a defensive posture!

Quickly walked out of the room and came to the outside of the Consulate Hall.

Recruits and militiamen armed with spears were assembled.

On the side of the street, 100 peasants with scythes were also ready.

Strong fighting spirit.

"what happened?"

Kant held a light crossbow with a stern face and stepped out of the Consultative Hall.

The militiamen at the top of the watchtower quickly ran down and explained to Kant: "Lord Lord, I found a strange cavalry unit in the south, moving towards our oasis."

"A strange cavalry unit?"

Frowning slightly, Kant's eyes are even more solemn.

Turning his head to look to the south, but only able to sweep across the seemingly endless sand dunes, he asked slowly, "How many people."

The militia replied: "50 cavalry, and a carriage."

"Yeah." Kant nodded, but his brows were even heavier.

Gnolls naturally do not have cavalry units, and even if they do, they will not appear in the south.

Because to the south is the Principality of Lions.

Kant's hometown, the famous country of martial arts, the country with the strongest cavalry.

"Everyone."

With a wave of his hand, Kant gave the order: "Get ready for battle!"

"Understood!" The crowd was in high spirits.

Kant will not lose his vigilance because there are cavalry troops from the Principality of Lions. It is necessary to know that even the nobles in the Principality sometimes have fierce conflicts because of their territory and wealth.

Small-scale wars were common among the various nobles.

So he directly confronted the street entrance, and the 17 desert robbers who were riding on desert horses instructed: "Now it's up to you to carry out the investigation, no close combat is allowed, and return immediately after the investigation is over!"

"Yes, my lord." The desert robbers nodded.

Investigating is their specialty. As soon as they kicked the horse, 17 people roared out and scattered in the vast sand sea.
