Lord of the Oasis

Bestuer saw Kant open the white metal book to the fourth page, but only opened it halfway before closing it.

"I can't see anything from this white metal book, but the Crown Prince Kant may be able to see something." Bestul thought.

Kant's eyes showed a thoughtful look, which had lasted for several minutes.

"Sir, are you okay?" Bestur asked cautiously.

Kant blinked, shook his head and said: "It's okay, Bestur, prepare to take over Lionheart City in full! The west gate of Lionheart City is no longer a concern, and the knights of those sects should not come to trouble us again!"

Golden, light, dark, deep red, the four-color brilliance is incomparably brilliant. This is the picture that Kant saw in the fourth book of prophecy on the half page. Above these four lights, stood a figure wearing a blood-colored cloak with golden hair scattered. He held a broken sword in his hand. Above the broken sword, four kinds of divine radiance rose, and purple blood dripped.

When he saw this half, Kant forcibly closed the book of prophecy.

"Even if I read the fourth page of the Book of Prophecy, I don't know who I am fighting, right?"

Kant thought so at the time, just like Edmund, the God of War, only showed his undead war attitude to him when he stepped into Lionheart City. This may explain that Edmund, the God of War, is prophesying. The scene I saw on the fourth page of the book was the scene where he was surrounded and killed by a blond figure wearing a blood-colored cloak and led the army? But obviously, Edmund, the god of war, could not judge who the opponent was based on those characteristics.

"My sword was broken, and I wounded him, or killed him? Or was I actually beaten and wounded or even killed by him? Or leave it all to the unknown, I just need to know that I will meet in the future. Terrible enemies, these are enough, knowing the result is not good. Do I always need to pay attention or wait for such a picture to appear?"

Kant refused to appear in such a situation. Now it is just right. It not only satisfies his curiosity about the future, but also does not directly bind himself because he has completely seen the picture in the prophecy.

Just keep going strong.

"Complete the main task of the system first! Conquer the Principality of Lions and become the only ruler of the Principality of Lions."

Time flies, and a year has passed in a flash.

As Kant expected, the knights of the other sects of the kingdoms were recalled by the sects when they were halfway through. This was an anticlimactic action.

As for the rumors that Baron Kant had taken refuge in the devil, the sects of various countries issued announcements one after another, clarifying Baron Kant, explaining that Baron Kant was a noble nobleman and had nothing to do with the devil.

Kant naturally understands that his previous splendid momentum and powerful strength are indeed a huge threat to the gods, but since he has slaughtered the god of war and promoted to the world noble, there is no threat to the gods. .

During the year, Kant did not launch any more aggressions, and those world nobles who had mistakenly thought that Kant had been promoted to the world nobles by themselves never came to Kant to form an alliance. It seemed that Kant killed the God of War and offended him. them.

However, they did not "won't let him go" as the God of War shouted before he died, and Kant enjoyed a rare year of tranquility and peace.

In the past year, thanks to the existence of the system, Kant's territory has developed rapidly, even if it is a miracle.

The first is Kant's territory in the Nalen Desert, located in the sentry oasis of Derehem, the scale has been expanded again, reaching the level of a large fortress, with 5,000 soldiers stationed, under the command of Kant's most powerful underworld apostle Bandak them.

The sentinel oasis has also expanded a lot due to the continuously expanding date palm forest, wheat field and splendens pasture. Near the main fortress of Drehem, many villages with high-level houses have been added, and clean and tidy paved roads connect these villages with the fortress of Drehem.

In addition to the 5,000 soldiers stationed in Dreherm today, there are 30,000 civilians in the Sentinel Oasis. Most of them work in the date palm forest, wheat field, splendens pasture, camel farm, and sand grouse farm. Their continuous work, combined with Kant's topographic transformation, has made the area of ​​the sentry oasis continue to expand.

The civilians who first arrived were more likely to work in the large salt workshops, large spice workshops, large sugar mills, large bakeries, and large mills in the Drehem Fortress. Bags of salt, spices and sugar were piled up from the shops to the streets, full of merchants driving their carriages to and fro. The air is filled with the fragrance of various spices blended together.

In the salt mines further north, the original post station has also expanded a lot and gradually became the size of a small town. Some civilians became miners and settled in this small town. The more prosperous, and the more fine white salt sold in Lionheart City, the greater the mining intensity of the salt mines. At this time, there are already 3,000 miners in this small town. They are all civilian miners, civilians from the world of Qi and Chopping, and there are about 2,000 slave miners.

And it is located outside the exit of the Sangwaya Mountains, connecting the sentry oasis with the Aaron Castle in the Sangwaya Mountains or the central post of the Stone Pass. Because the territory of Baron Kant has become more prosperous, the caravans are more frequent, making this former The post station as a transit place has also become more prosperous and gradually developed into a perfect town. Of course, the caravans that go to and from Xiaozhan are all from the commoners in the world of Qi and Chopping, who developed in this world and chose to become merchants. As for the caravans of this world, now they can only trade in Lionheart City if they want to buy fine white salt, spices and sugar from the depths of the Naren Desert.

Here, it is now deep in the hinterland of the Baron Kant.

As Kant's original territory, Drehem developed very well, with good military power, agricultural development, and industrial development. Luxury goods such as salt, spices, and sugar are still an important part of Kant's economic industry. But after all, limited by the desert terrain, it cannot develop too fast.

Now, this is relative to Aaron, the second city Kant founded in this world.

In fact, compared to other kingdoms and principalities in this world, Dreherm is already a first-class prosperous and prosperous city. Although it stands in the harsh environment of the Narun desert. But it has become a miracle in the desert of Naron, all the nobles, sects, adventurers, bards, spies and other occupations of all the nobles, sects, adventurers, bards, spies, etc. They learned what the civilians of Derechem had to say about Derechem.

If it wasn't for Baron Kant's refusal to give people in this world the qualifications to settle in Derechem, I'm afraid the population of Derechem would have risen by ten or twenty thousand.

In fact, not only Dreherm, but all the cities or towns in Baron Kant's territory are not open to the population of this world. They politely reminded them that it was time to leave.

Aaron, this is the second town built by Kant in this world. It has now developed into a big city with a population of 200,000. In Aaron, there are also 5,000 soldiers stationed, led by the battlefield doctor James.

It is a city built on the top of a mountain in the Sanwaya Mountains, and the highest city in the world. In the Sangwaya Mountains, the land is rich and the resources are rich. The successful development of the terraced fields made Aaron one of Kant's granaries.

The excellent and unique geographical location of the city of Aaron has made the animal husbandry that existed in the past also greatly developed. Chicken farms, pig farms, sheep farms, cattle farms, bee farms... are dotted in Sanwaya. Among the mountains, fresh meat and dairy products are provided to Kant's territory, and it is also one of the raw materials for the plush workshops, leather workshops and tanning workshops in Aaron City.

The rich wood resources in the Sanwaya Mountains make Aaron City the largest supplier of charcoal, wooden handicrafts and wooden furniture in the world. The iron ore resources discovered in the Aaron Mountains not only enabled Aaron to have the largest iron workshop in Kant's territory, supplying the demand for iron farming tools in the entire Kant's territory, but also established a huge weapon and armor workshop.

Although Kant's soldiers all have weapons and armor provided by the system, the weapons business is also a business with huge profits no less than that of white salt, and this business is naturally also in the hands of Kant.

Aaron City has prosperous agriculture, industry, handicrafts, and commerce. The development of these industries allows Kant to collect a lot of dinars through special taxes. The residents of Aaron City are naturally from the commoners of the world. .

Compared with the huge development of Dereham and Aaron, Kant's third city, Sargos, is located in the East County Territory, facing the Reisniston River and backed by a city with a connection to Aaron City. The fortress city of the mountain range at the exit of the underground passage has not developed by leaps and bounds economically.

After all, this is the territory of the East County. With the abandonment of the nobles of the East County in the Civil War a year ago, Kant's control of the East County has failed. Kant has been developing the territory this year, digesting this The fruits of victory in the second invasion of the Lion Principality.

Although Sargos's economy has not developed much, the level of the fortress has been successfully upgraded by Kant, and it has become a large fortress like Drehem. At the same time, the number of soldiers stationed here is also 5,000, led by Bestur.

The above is the development of Kant's first three cities.

In addition, the territory of the former Lion Principality that was completely occupied by Kant - the entire North County Territory and the half of the South County Territory to the north, were also completely digested by Kant.

The nobles in the North County Territory were all liquidated by Fatis, while the commoners belonging to this world in the North County Territory were expelled by the Fatis—this came from Kant’s order, Kant was determined to develop a completely cavalry system. His empire was built by cutting down the world's population.

Of course, Kant did not deliberately torture the people who belonged to this world who were expelled by the Fatis, but expelled them after the settlement of their fixed property that they could not take away. They had nowhere to go—this In the world, the population is the most important resource, and all lords are willing to accept them as long as they are required to serve.

In the center of the North County Territory, which was almost emptied, Kant established a city again, and Kant named it Veluga.

Viluja City, defined by Kant as an inland trading city, is similar in positioning to Aaron, but mainly agricultural. After all, North County is now considered the hinterland of Kant's territory.

With Viluja City as the center and the castles left by the nobles as the small center, Kant built a large number of private houses in North County, and upgraded the private houses to high-end private houses, attracting a large number of people from the world of Qi and Chopping.

The entire North County accommodates 2 million people from the world of riding and cutting for Kant. The existence of these populations is of great significance to Kant. At any time, Kant can convert them into militiamen, and they can quickly upgrade to advanced arms after only one battle. And when they are not needed, they help Kant farm the fields peacefully, and can also provide Kant with a poll tax and a large amount of food.

So for now, the job of these populations is to help Kant reclaim North County and grow food.

The territory of North County is relatively barren, but that is only relatively speaking. No matter how barren the North County Territory is, it will not be barren than the former sentry oasis. Barley and oats used to be grown in the Northern Territory. Compared with wheat and oats, they are more suitable for barren land. Of course, the taste is much worse and the price is cheaper.

Kant didn't make much changes to this, but also planted barley and oats, and introduced potatoes and onions.

The change made is that the surplus barley produced in North County was purchased by Kant in large quantities into the city of Viluja, and delicious malt wine was brewed, which was sold to various countries in exchange for a large number of golden eagles. The surplus oats were purchased in large quantities by Kant into the city of Viluja and ground into powder. This is the best feed for war horses. The lion principality, which loves to cultivate cavalry, can digest most of these oat flour.

Veluga City, with only 2,000 soldiers stationed, is led by Fatis. Among the large number of noble castles in North County, a famous Swadia Royal Knight and Sarion Lion Knight were sent by Kant to assist Fatis in governing the entire North County Territory.

Similar to the Northern Territory, Kant also established a city in the northern half of the Southern Territory and named it Jerkela. Among them, there were 5,000 soldiers garrisoned by Rolfe.

The establishment of Jerkala is close to the center of the entire South County Territory, and it is also the southernmost point of the South County Territory obtained by Kant. It was developed by Kant into a fortress city, echoing the north and south of Lionheart City.

The development model of half of the southern county is similar to that of the northern county, but due to the richness of the land, the cultivation of wheat is the mainstay. Half of the southern county directly accommodates a population of 1 million from the world of riding and cutting for Kant. And it is also one of Kant's important granaries.

And Kant himself, in addition to cruising the territory, has been stationed in the Lionheart City. At this time, the Lionheart City was stationed by Kant's heavy troops. The entire 10,000 soldiers, most of them are the advanced arms of the fourth and fifth levels. .

During this year, Kant's strength has been developing rapidly, preparing for the main task of the system.

Up to now, even if the five world nobles of the Principality of Lions unite, Kant has accumulated enough strength and is ready to start the expedition again.
