Lord of the Oasis

Time flew by, and another week passed in the blink of an eye.

In the city of Dereham, it is still the same, operating in an orderly manner. In the Nalen Desert, 200 kilometers away, the excavation of the Lost City by gnolls and lizardmen has come to an end.

Because Kant did not push or persecute too much, the nobles from the Southern and Eastern Commands of the Principality of Lions walked very calmly when they left the Lions Empire. In particular, they also took away the civilians in their territory at Kant's request. For Kant, these commoners in this world are just a burden, and they are the people who need to be driven away, but for the lords of the South County and the East County, these commoners are undoubtedly the most precious wealth.

As long as there are civilians, no matter how weak a lord is, there will be times when he will rise. In this era of low productivity, the size of the population represents the strength of productivity and the rise and fall of national strength.

Therefore, at the request of Kant, the nobles of the South County and the East County were very happy to leave with the commoners, and even the commoners in the noble territories that had died and lost their inheritance were also carved up by these nobles. . For example, the three upper-level nobles of the Southern County Territory who were once exterminated by Archduke Cameron through the bloodline curse were also divided among the commoners in their territory by the greedy upper-level nobles of the Southern County Territory.

The entire southern half of the South County Territory, as well as the entire East County, became much desolate after the nobles and the commoners evacuated, almost becoming an empty area. In the abandoned castles, there are broken traces everywhere, which are the traces left by the nobles with plenty of time to remove the expensive inlaid ornaments. Since they had planned to abandon the castle, their actions were naturally savage and rude.

Kant was not idle either. Teams of construction teams were dispatched to the southern part of the Southern Commandery and the Eastern Commandery to engage in construction. Most of the prestige he accumulated again was spent on accelerating the construction speed, which made the development of the South County Territory and the East County Territory extremely fast. There are constantly refugees from Calradia Continent being transported by the system and recruited by Kant to become his subjects.

For this world, population is the most important wealth and resource, but for Kant, as long as he has enough territory and builds enough dwellings, the system will send him refugees from Calradia so that he can recruit . It is precisely because of this that he was able to develop the North County Territory and half of the South County Territory of the Lion City to extreme prosperity in one year.

Therefore, Kant only needs to follow the way of developing the North County and half the South County Territory a year ago. As time goes by, the two huge territories that have been vacated will naturally be developed and prosperous. After all, whether it's the Southern Commander or the Eastern Commander, in terms of the fertility of their land, they can completely outshine the Northern Commandery for 18 streets. The North County can be prosperous in the hands of Kant, not to mention the South County Leader and the East County Leader.

Over time, the surveying and mapping team sent by Kant continued to send news to Drehem, reporting the boundaries of Kant's existing territory that they had explored and surveyed at this time; and the constitution drafted by Kant,

It is also continuously filled and supplemented by professionals, becoming more and more perfect. In about half a month, the constitution will be completed and promulgated successfully, and the border line of Kant's territory will be completed within a month according to the current speed.

This means that, if nothing else, Kant will complete the founding of the state within a month.

Kant, there is still an "absolute territory" construction package that is not used at this time. He intends to use it in the capital after the founding of the country. In theory, he will build the capital in Drehem. However, at this time Drehem was still in a crisis of war, and he needed to wait for the crisis of war to disappear before Kant could use the "absolute territory" building package.

Kant attaches great importance to this "absolute territory", and from the perspective of system feedback, this thing is also very important.

In the hall of the Dereham Consulate, Kant and various generals, as well as some senior commanders who were gradually promoted, were meeting to discuss matters related to the war.

"My lord, according to your instructions, our army is ready and ready to go to war against gnolls and lizardmen at any time." A senior commander reported the army situation to Kant loudly.

Kant nodded. He didn't know what was going on with the gnoll and the lizard man. He turned a blind eye to the sentry sent by him, and let his sentry check the progress of their excavation.

At this point, the Lost City has been almost completely excavated, and Kant has no interest in waiting any longer, and intends to take the initiative to attack. Let’s start now. When Kant arrives at the Lost City, the gnolls and the lizardmen are probably just finished excavating the Lost City.

Just as Kant was about to announce the opening of the army, a soldier came to report, and a death knight came to visit.

"Is there only one death knight?" Kant asked.

"Yes, esteemed lord!" The soldier replied respectfully, then stood quietly, waiting for Kant's decision. Expel, or ignore, or summon.

"Everyone is free to discuss, why did this death knight suddenly come to our Derechem?" After thinking for a while, Kant asked the senior commander of the generals who were doing it.

He himself has no clue, but one person is short, others are long, maybe that general or commander can guess the death knight's purpose. And knowing the intention of the other party, you can deal with it calmly. Of course, this is not the key. Kant has a deeper meaning in doing so.

Bandak was the first to notice the long journey of gnolls and lizardmen. Among Kant's six generals, he and James were the only ones who did not lead the manid, who was devoted to business and made money for Kant. With the experience of fighting soldiers, this time James has also become a real general, and he is still leading a powerful army of mages. Among the lords summoned by Kant, Bandak is the only one who has not been arranged.

Bandak decided to perform well, so as soon as the Kant question came up, Bandak immediately spoke enthusiastically.

"Lord Lord, I think this death knight's visit must be related to the lost city. The death knight came to visit just after their lost city was excavated. Maybe there is something between the two."

Kant nodded: "Maybe so, but what is the relationship between this death knight and the Lost City?"
