Lord of the Oasis

Construction work has been going well.

The territory of Bandark was officially named Cumberland. And draw it into Dherim's map.

The news spread to the country, and many letters from Deherem said that they wanted to find a job here and could live in Cumberland.

After discussing with Bandak, Kant asked his men to reply to the owners of these letters one by one. And the General Consul's Union in Dherim issued the 'Cumberland Application for Residence Form': it said that within two months, the first batch of residents would be selected among those who filled out the form. It is said that nearly 10,000 copies of this form have been dispatched so far.

The life in Cumberland is still very hard and tedious, because it is like a construction site waiting to be developed, sparsely populated, and the infrastructure is not complete.

Kant usually spends most of his time on the construction site, communicating with craftsmen and discussing how to do the next project. At dinner time, I had dinner with the workers and the soldiers who came back from guard.

At the dinner table, listening to the soldiers at the next table complaining about the troubles caused by the elven refugees, Kant discovered that he had indeed missed something about the security issues on the border between Cumberland and the elven country.

I also heard the report from the logistics personnel in charge of picking the goods before: the elf vagrants hiding in the mountains would rob their goods from time to time.

Even though they brought soldiers with them, they failed to dissuade them.

While Kant was still thinking about how to solve this matter, the foreign minister of the Elven Kingdom approached him.

"I've heard about Bandak's commanding daimyo for a long time, and I met him for the first time today. He really has the spirit of a dragon and a tiger, and he is a general." The foreign minister greeted him.

"Your Excellency, your visit has made my humble place flourish." Banda Ke thanked me, then changed the subject, and asked, "However, why do you make Your Excellency travel to and from this place? thing?"

"Haha, I just heard that there are frequent robberies on the border of your territory, and I want to give you some suggestions." The foreign minister responded with a smile.

"Well, I've been full of melancholy for this matter recently. I don't know what your opinion is?"

"The refugees on this border are indeed a big disaster, but they are only affected by the situation in the elf country, so they will wander in this mountain forest like mountain village bandits. My personal idea is: use these wanderers as the human base, Create a large free trade market at the intersection of our two countries," the foreign secretary said.

"Good advice,

However, the regime governing this trade zone...? Bandak understood the thoughts of the foreign minister and hesitated.

"I think you can act as a representative to formulate appropriate regulations." The foreign minister said frankly.

After thinking for a while, Bandak nodded first, and then said: "Thank you for your suggestion, but I want to wait until more residents have settled in this territory before considering how to realize this plan."

"Okay, then I hope your construction can be completed as soon as possible. If you have any inconvenience, please feel free to contact me."

After saying goodbye to Bundak, the foreign minister left in a carriage. Bandak sent an army to escort them to the border.

Kant had been standing aside and listening quietly just now.

When Bundak asked for his opinion, Kant replied: "I think you can try it. This plan is also very suitable for the current situation in Cumberland."

Bandak recommended Kant to be the envoy of the trade market, responsible for the contact with the foreign minister of the elf country.

Kant took people to the border, looking for a suitable place to build a market.

We found a wide flat land with a relatively stable traffic route. Because it is backed by the North Canyon, the market was also named North Market.

After Kant conveyed his news to the foreign minister, within a few days, the elf king's messenger sent the news that the elf king wanted to meet with Kant.

After a night's rest, Kant boarded the carriage with the messenger and arrived at the imperial capital of the elves.

Under the leadership of the attendant, he walked into the palace, and the Elf King who was sitting in the middle saw him and stood up happily from his seat.

"Welcome, welcome, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon." The Elf King said.

Kant stepped forward and bowed to salute, and said with a smile: "I don't know if your Highness asked me to come to the meeting, is it about the trade market that the Minister of Foreign Affairs mentioned?"

"Well, I heard that General, you plan to help me subdue the group of refugees in the mountains. I am very touched. Naturally, I want to entertain you with a banquet." The Elf King said.

As soon as the words fell, a row of attendants brought many dishes and snacks from outside the hall, and put them on the tables of the Elf King and Kant.

"This idea was proposed by the foreign minister, and the dishes on this table should be shared with him. In the end, I ate it alone."

The Elf King said with a cheerful smile: "It's okay, I have already rewarded him. I heard the foreign minister said: General, you will be the main force in this marketing plan. I believe that with your talents, the border between the two countries will definitely change." Peaceful and rich. In this regard, the elf royal family will definitely give support without hesitation."

"Your Highness is overrated, but if we want to thoroughly manage the order of the market, we really need a lot of your help and permission." Kant said.

"No problem. The basis for establishing this market is that the two peoples can live in peace."

Kant chatted with the Elven King about the current situation between the two countries in the palace.

After drinking a glass of wine, he had to say goodbye and leave.

In the early morning of the next day, Kant received the news that Bandak was going to lead the soldiers back home.

Then he found Bandak's residence and asked about the specific situation and details.

"I have asked Dherim to send an army to Cumberland as a daily deployment. You stay here and don't worry about the security of the guards. When the army arrives, I and the soldiers stationed here will Returned." Bandak explained carefully.

"Then about the population?" Kant asked again.

"It's fine for you to decide the population. I think you should have a corresponding plan in your mind." Bandak replied: "I have to go back to deal with the affairs of the capital. After you complete the construction here, you will also Hurry up and go back to Dherim," Bandak asked.

Kant nodded in response.

Three days later, the newly stationed army arrived, and Bhandak took all the soldiers and set off for Dherim.

The new general of the army is called Kagaya. He is a man with a strong personality and extremely high combat effectiveness. He has more than ten years of experience as an officer, and his troops listen to him very much.

Kant often asked him about the situation on the border, and it seemed that the border was much calmer than before.

PS: It was interrupted for a while before the update, the plot was not smoothed out, and the explosion was added 3 times, the mind is sometimes confused... If there is a mistake in the plot...everything is based on the present...
