Lord of the Oasis

Assage was tied to his upper body with twine, leaving only his feet to walk.

At the same time, 41 light infantrymen in infantry chain armor also came over. Everyone put their hands on the hilt of the Germanic sword around their waists, and looked at the gnoll with a bad expression, as if they could do it in the next second. The fierce appearance of drawing a sword and slashing it.

This made Asage obediently tied up, bowing his head and being his own prisoner with peace of mind.

Just looked aggrievedly into the distance.

This saline-alkali land formed by the drying up of a saltwater lake no longer belongs to it.

With sadness and despair in his heart, there were tears in Asage's wolf eyes, because he now knew very well that even himself, a high-level gnoll who should be treated with dignity, had become a prisoner and no longer had his freedom.

There are not many opportunities left for it to be self-inflicted.

With Kant's order, the temporarily occupied salt mine was reclaimed.

Because these heavy cavalry and light infantry of Swadia, under the leadership of Fatis and Kant, have repacked their weapons and equipment, and walked towards the direction they came from.

The original coarse salt of Baihuahua on the saline-alkali land was not collected.

Even the coarse salt contained in the flax belts seized from Asage was haphazardly stacked on the edge of the saline-alkali land, with no intention of taking it away.

No one will steal these things that cannot be eaten directly.

Those low-level gnolls have now been defeated. Except for Kant, who is 2 days away, who will send people to mine the salt mine again, basically no one will appear here, let alone to steal salt.

Kant was very relieved.

And the mood is quite happy.

This is the best natural salt mine, which he has taken and occupied.

As long as the logging yard in the Sangwaya Mountains is arranged, a steady stream of wood will be transported to the sentry oasis, and a large amount of raw coarse salt of the white flowers will be transported there. After a little cooking and filtering, it is the fine white salt that can only be enjoyed on the table of nobles.

Basically, it can be counted as a great deal, second only to the spice trade.

However, Kant's face darkened.

His mood did not change because of this good news.

On the contrary, deep in Kant's seemingly calm eyes, awe and solemnity reappeared, and he was even a little overwhelmed.

the reason is simple.

The one just captured, the so-called high-level gnoll, actually brought news from the north of the Naron Desert, and it was not so friendly to him, because the country opposite the desert was a kingdom formed by high-level gnolls.

He didn't care whether the gnolls were so-called higher or lower.

Just knowing a little is enough.

It was a gnoll, not a human kingdom.

"This is really troublesome."

Kant's face was gloomy, and he rode his horse forward, only to feel that his eyebrows were faintly swollen.

The newly emerging kingdom of Greymane, and the coast of Mannheim opposite the desert, can directly disrupt his strategic deployment.

Originally, I wanted to rely on the Naluun Desert as the rear base, and slowly plan for the Principality of Lions. How could I have imagined that the large rear area that I preset now turned out to be the center of the junction between the two countries.

And there is also the possibility that it will directly become the place of the battlefield.

According to the captives, the Kingdom of Greymane on the northern side of the desert is hostile to the Principality of Lions.

Think and understand.

Even kingdoms with different races, it would be hell to be friendly.

"Fatis." Kant said.

Fatis, who is behind him, is lightly knocking his horse's belly, parallel to Kant: "I am here, Lord Kant."

"Do you think what it says is true?" Kant asked.

Fatis pondered slightly, but nodded and said: "In the case of our lack of information, I would rather believe this is true, after all, it has its own wisdom,

Unlike these lowly gnolls in the desert. "

Kant also sighed: "Yes."

The two turned their heads subconsciously and glanced behind.

The one in decent linen robes, no less than their gnoll.

If you distinguish it carefully, you can see that this gnoll's hair is lush, oily, and even a little groomed, which is indeed different from those messy, dirty and filthy gnolls.

Above all, it possesses wisdom.

Knowing the fears and the rules, even if they are captured, they keep their heads down and follow instead of resisting.

Those gnolls that Kant had captured before, after recovering from fear, swooped around like angry wolf dogs, were beaten, and then became docile after starving for a few days.

In other words, after being hungry and having no strength, did you learn how to calm down.

"We can assume that what it says is true."

Fatis spoke with a solemn tone: "But this means that we have a new enemy."

"That's right." Kant exhaled helplessly: "This is exactly what makes me irritable."

Being in the gap between the Principality of the Lion and the unknown Kingdom of Greymane made Kant quite uncomfortable. As long as he thought of this, his chest felt as if he was suffocated, making him unable to breathe normally.

No one wants to be in the same room with greedy lions and ferocious jackals.

And Kant is exactly that.

It is still in the middle of the two. Although there is no major problem yet, if there is any abnormal situation between the two in the future, it will be fatal to Kant in the crack.

He's at an awkward point.

If the Kingdom of Greymane really intends to cross the desert and attack the Principality of Lions, then the first thing to occupy is the Sentinel Oasis as an outpost, to obtain the most precious water source in the desert, and to obtain strategic opportunities and guarantees.

In this way, whether it is attacking the Principality of the Lion or retreating, the troops of the Graymane Kingdom can handle it with ease.

For the Lion Principality, whether it is defense or counterattack, it is also inseparable from the sentry oasis like a bridgehead. As long as the attacking Graymane Kingdom is repelled, these gnolls without water will be self-destructed.

So, whoever occupies here, then represents half of the victory.

"It's not a good thing for me."

Kant shook his head, his eyebrows dignified.

He is the baron of the Naron Desert, and he has the final say in this area.

It is absolutely impossible to give up the sentry oasis that he has worked so hard to build, and hand over "Deherim" to others, because this represents Kant's bottom line and is the only one he can survive in this world.

Riding on the horse, Kant's face returned to calm, but he was expected to be very solemn: "Fatis, I think after we go back, the development of the sentry oasis should be quicker."

"Of course, Lord Kant." Fatis nodded and followed closely behind him.

The infantry and cavalry also quickened their pace.

At the very least, the current sentry oasis, the Nalen Desert, is owned by Kant.

Step up development and use the golden finger to grow his power into a behemoth, a terrorist force that even the troops of the Graymane Kingdom and the nobles of the Principality of Lions dare not face up to, then Kant will become an unshakable existence.

At that time, he will not react to other people's actions.

It was Kant's order that anyone should be frightened according to his mood.

"There's still time."

Kant thought to himself that this was his only advantage at the moment.

My mind quickly turned: "The troops of the Greymane Kingdom cannot be dispatched in a short time, and the Principality of Lions cannot know that in a short period of time, I have developed so fast in the Sentinel Oasis."

After pondering for a moment, Kant had an idea: "Continue to proceed according to the original plan, but it will be accelerated."

As long as there is salt, Kant can achieve a lot of wealth.

The Principality of the Lions would not refuse, much cheaper white salt entered the market, and it would not be stingy with the silver coins in its hands to buy the caravan that Kant planned to set up.

46 Swadian heavy cavalry.

41 Swadian light infantry.

And the follow-up Swadian troops, as long as there are dinars, will quickly appear in this world.

Even if the nobles of the Principality of Lions coveted Kant's acquisition of the salt mine, and after several head-to-head wars, Kant's troops cut off their outstretched claws, and everything would be temporarily peaceful.

The key point is that the current Kant and Cameron, the Duke of Lions, have not completely cut off their relationship.
