Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 398. Busy port area

Since Dongjun City was not welcome, Kant naturally didn't plan to go in.

His troops were indeed numerous, and they could be counted as elites, especially the 30 lion knights and 50 lion attendants. The full set of equipment was enough to be called the elite among the elites.

If you put it in rashly, I am afraid it will be a bomb.

No one dares to take responsibility.

No one dared to really promise to let Kant in.

Even if it is put into Kant alone, or limited to three people.

If there were pagans from the Dark Red Sect and attacked Kant, and something happened, it would be Da Louzi, the elite troops in the Nalen Desert, who would directly cross the North County to take revenge.

As for the other nobles of the Principality of Lions, it is estimated that they will stand by and watch this good show with peace of mind.

Really good show.

How can it be bad to weaken one's own political enemies.

Although Dongjun Territory is still the territory and region of the Principality of Lions, it is actually a semi-independent warlord.

If Kant and Countess Agatha really fight to the death and lose both, they will be able to take advantage of the situation to capture the two places, even if they abandon the East Commandery, but instead sneak into the Naron Desert and gain access to the salt mine.

Now who doesn't know that Kant's power is unparalleled and is already worthy of those great nobles.

The reason is even clearer.

It's a salt mine!

If it weren't for the salt mines in the Nalen Desert, where would the initial construction funds be?

In the mid-term, raising so many troops, infiltrating other places, and winning the hearts of businessmen and landlords are all places to spend money. Kant is like not worrying about it.

It is because of the existence of salt mines, which is equivalent to the silver mountain and silver sea of ​​Bai Huahua!

This has long made countless nobles jealous.

no way.

That's all they could think of.

Unexpectedly, Kant does not need the base currency of this world.

Except for gold and some precious extraordinary things, there is no demand at all, only gold.

If you want to obtain gold in the long run, that is, the golden eagle that is currently circulating in the hands of big nobles and big businessmen, you need trade support. Of course, salt is indeed the main commodity of trade and a very popular luxury item.

The route that Kant took was the upper-class route, a route that only nobles, landlords and merchants could enjoy.

The same is true.

Ordinary civilians can't afford any salt.

The wealthier citizens could not eat three or four times a week.

As for outside the city, the average age is 36 years old, and there are few farmers who have lived past the age of 60. In that month, they can't eat salt several times. Even if they do, it is inferior marsh salt.

It is extracted from the swamps in the east, with a salty taste, very bitter.

But this stuff isn't cheap either.

Feudal era.

Or the feudal society of Western Europe.

It is really the darkness, the sinking of the never-ending day.

For example, in a unified society like one day, after mastering the techniques of boiling salt and drying salt, it forced the dictatorship of salt and iron, so that the price of salt would not be too low or too high, so that ordinary people could also eat salt, really. is not much.

You must know that in the ancient times of the earth, the more advanced Roman Republic in the West was.

Salt was distributed as soldiers' salaries.

The world is more serious.

Salt is a necessity, and fine white salt is a luxury.

Equal to spice.

Those aristocrats are extremely sought after for delicious, pure, fine white salt without impurities.

If there is no such fine white salt at the banquet, it will definitely be ridiculed, especially on the face of those nobles, it will be an indelible scar, and will slowly lose contacts and eventually become alone.

This kind of situation, in Kant's view, is a situation where you need to save face and live, and that is a business opportunity.

The salt mine is in his hands.

The caravan was well fed by him.

If there is no absolute threat of force, then his salt trade will continue to increase.

As for the so-called threat of force, in Kant's view, it's all a joke, at least in the Naron desert now,

He is the boss and the number one, not to mention the Principality of Lions, even if it is the undead of the gods, he must temporarily avoid the edge!

At the end of the battle, Kant's casualties were not too large and were still within an acceptable range.

But those god-born undead were completely wiped out, and the whole army was wiped out!

This is the power gap.

Times are different.

Once upon a time, gods and demons were the rulers of this world.

But now, as their authority gradually fades, they have already become the world of all races.

It was during this period that the human race rose to the top. At least in the land where Kant was located, there were not too many tyrannical alien races. Even if there were, they were all driven to the most remote corners.

Such as the lowly gnolls of the Naren desert.

Or the Orcs of the Wild West, and the barbarians who don't fit in.

Even if there is a dwarf kingdom, it is in the extreme south, and it is said that one has to go through an uninhabited wilderness before reaching it. This is why the salt from the dwarf kingdom is so expensive.

If there are no obstacles and no danger, it will take half a year to go back and forth normally.

If you encounter orcs or other aliens.

It may take a year.

Kant is in no hurry.

His salt trade can go from the Principality of the Lion to the Kingdom of Silver Plate within a month, or it's a direct back and forth.

As long as there is goods, there is no need to worry about the market. Now the human nations, such as the merchant ships on the Resniston River, have begun to purchase salt in large quantities. They all know that the Principality of Lions has found a new salt mine.

This kind of thing is a lucrative business, even if it is resold by domestic businessmen, they are all sitting and collecting money.

Kant and the others arrived at the port of East County City.

Crowded.

There are wagons full of goods everywhere.

Even the ground of the port is made of neatly cut stones and paved. They are all top-level stone roads, just like the level of ancient passages, so that the carriages carrying goods can go quickly.

Among them, there were many businessmen in luxurious clothes walking, followed by sturdy guards.

Looking at the style of clothes, it doesn't look like a businessman in the Principality of Lions.

"This place is nice."

Rolfe licked his tongue slightly covetously.

"Calm down." Kant glanced at him.

As a lord, he knew the careful thoughts of his brave general, and after thinking about it, he ordered: "Find a place to wait for a while, so many troops will not enter the port, so as to avoid trouble."

"Understood." Rolf nodded immediately.

He understands this.

With so many cavalry entering the port, it would be troublesome if something went wrong.

It is still a relatively crowded port space, even if it is provocative, it cannot be used on a horse.

At that time, even if there are petty thieves who come over and steal their things, they will not be able to enter the narrow alleys in the port to pursue them. Even if they do, they will not be able to kill people directly like war.

All in all, after the cavalry entered the city, there were a lot of restrictions, and they did not need or want to enter.

But Rolfe still heard the meaning.

Hesitating slightly, he still asked: "Lord Kant, don't you plan to go in by yourself again? From what I understand, Dongjun City is not very peaceful. It is estimated that your identity has also been exposed, which is prone to accidents."

"Five lion knights follow me."

Kant was calm: "Nothing will happen."

"Five..." Rolfe hesitated even more, glanced at the city wall more than 5 meters high in front of him, and discouraged: "Lord Kant, please bring five more, and you can deal with things when you encounter them."

"That's it." Kant decided.

These 10 lion knights.

That would represent 10 great knights.

Not to mention the mere East County Port, even the entire East County Territory is overbearing.

Let's just say that the highest noble of the current Eastern County, Countess Aijiasha, can come up with 10 great knights or two.

It is not easy to cultivate a great knight, and it requires strict inheritance.

It is simply appalling that Kant can mass-produce Great Knights with some special means.

This is also the advantage brought by Goldfinger.

After all, Kant is backed by countless riding and cutting worlds.

In this real world, there are few great knights, but in the world of riding and cutting and the world of high magic, it is still very simple to mass-produce magic knights with magic power. In this world, they are great knights.

Not too entangled in this problem, and soon they found a suitable place.

An entertainment area outside the port city walls.

That's right.

right here.

This area next to the city wall has five full streets, all kinds of bars, restaurants and hotels.

It is now evening, the streets are brightly lit, countless pedestrians are running lazily, and an intoxicating sweetness can be smelled in the air, which is the steam from the dessert bakery.

And of course the intoxicating aroma of wine in bars and restaurants.

And waitresses in topless costumes.

Entertainment heaven.

This is where the port indulgence comes in.

Many mercenaries are walking in groups of three or five, with weapons hanging on their bodies, and others are not afraid at all. Only the elite spearmen wearing high-quality chain armor who occasionally walk on the street use deterrence. glanced over.

Here chaos, indulgence, money is everything, and even order is weakened to a minimum.

A world of the strong and the rich.

no way.

The port is busy.

Those merchants and guards who came here from far away also need to use alcohol and women to relieve the pressure of long-term boat trips, and it is easier to lose themselves in this colorful world.

Kant didn't like this kind of environment, but Rolfe and the elite cavalry behind him whistled very happily.

It's like living in a loot cave in the Sarand desert.

"Find some hotels."

Kant gave the order.

Glancing at the group of bandits who saw the women's agitation, he said solemnly: "Don't go to bars, don't drink alcohol, keep an eye on your wallets, war horses, and weapons and equipment, I don't want to find out tomorrow morning that nothing is missing. ."

"Yes!" When the bandits heard it, they responded with a little helplessness.

"clear."

Rolf also nodded helplessly.

However, he still went to the front to find a hotel. There were nearly 600 people, and he needed a lot of rooms. It was estimated that he could book 5 hotels. As the second-level commander in this team, he also had to manage financial expenses. ()
