Lord of the Oasis

Kant understood the mood of the cavalry.

Therefore, there is no anger towards them leaving indifferently, not even saying hello.

The opposite of this.

These cavalrymen who have only experienced a bloody battle have no joy of victory at all.

Whether it is Captain Rowan or his 19 cavalry subordinates, they are full of resentment towards Kant, and even a kind of resentment is suffocating in their chests, almost as impossible to hide as a volcano about to erupt!

Gnolls are losers, and so are they.

The victor is Kant.

The baron who mastered the sentry oasis is the real winner.

"Goodbye." Kant watched them disappear into the dunes.

The Swadian recruit in charge of vigilance also came over with a spear to report: "Sir, they have all left."

"Yeah, they are fast." Kant nodded.

This is also normal. After all, they are highly mobile cavalry units. Without the drag of carriages and infantry, there is absolutely no problem in increasing their marching speed several times.

It is estimated that it will take less than 3 days to climb over the Sanwaya Mountains again and return to the suitable male lion principality.

"However, it's better to leave."

Kant breathed a sigh of relief, at least the Sentinel Oasis was already in his hands.

And the cavalry of these lion principalities, the natives of this world continue to stay here, Kant really doesn't know what to do, after all, the next territory construction needs to rely on the system.

At that time, Kant will also find an excuse to let them leave.

Because the prompt from the system has also appeared on his retina.

[Ding... After a fight, the enemy was defeated]

[Temporary mission: "Destroy the Gnoll Tribe" completed]

【Reward: Desert Bandit Stronghold × 1】

[Evaluation: Wonderful strategy, admirable tactics, this joyous victory is worthy of praise. 】

On Retina, the Temporary System Done dialog appears.

But the dialog is more than that.

【Ding...Someone in your army can be upgraded】

When exterminating the gnoll tribe, Kant's soldiers also fought hard.

And the results obtained are not small.

The situation fell into chaos, lost their will to fight, and began to flee like chaotic headless flies. Many of them were directly killed by the Swadian soldiers who rushed in, armed with spears and scythes.

So the soldiers gained a lot of experience.

For these soldiers who are still in their infancy, upgrading is also a matter of course.

[Upgradable troops: Swadian farmer × 20]

[Spend 10 dinars per person, can be upgraded to: Swadia Recruit]

The option to upgrade took Kant by surprise.

There are only 20 Swadian farmers left, and all of them can choose to upgrade.

What surprised Kant even more was that the newly upgraded Swadia recruits could also continue to upgrade.

[Upgradable troops: Swadia recruits × 10]

[costs 20 dinars per person, can be upgraded to: Swadia Militia]

These recruits armed with spears and wearing leather armor were the main force of Kant's infantry in this battle. They used sharp spears to kill most of the gnolls who dared to approach them.

It can be said that compared to farmers, these Swadian recruits can serve as the most basic combat personnel.

"However, there are some serious overruns in the dinars spent."

Kant frowned slightly.

Upgrading 20 Swadian peasants to recruits costs 200 dinars.

It also costs 200 dinars to upgrade 10 Swadian recruits to militia.

Dinar is the name of the currency.

But only in the system,

Also can only be used and obtained by Kant.

But what makes Kant a little anxious is that the sum of the two upgrades, the cost of 400 dinars will almost empty his savings. Even if he comes to this world, he secretly does various temporary tasks and saves money. Also only 500 dinars.

The previous upgrade had cost 100 dinars.

The current Swadian soldiers have to upgrade again, which is equivalent to all his savings, and he has to say goodbye to him completely.

"This is a little helpless." Kant sighed.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, he still said silently in his heart: "System, all upgrades."

The situation is here.

These dinars absolutely cannot be saved.

As human beings, Kant and his second generation have the experience of past and present lives, and of course they can clearly distinguish the situation.

Coming to the Naron Desert, this sentry oasis hanging alone outside the Principality of the Lion, Kant can already be judged to have lost everything in the past and the help from the Principality of the Lion.

His biggest reliance is on himself, that is, these Swadian soldiers from the system!

The mysterious system data descended in the void.

20 Swadian farmers in the datalink package, began to grow strong.

Spears, leather armor, leather helmets, a hatchet on the waist, and a broad shield on the back are all available.

And the 10 Swadian recruits were upgraded to Swadian Militia.

The body has become stronger, the spear has been replaced with a heavy spear covered with iron in the front section, and under the linen robe is a leather armor with better defense, plus a one-handed warhammer that can pierce armor, and a stronger thick and wide shield. out of the peasant appearance.

Although it is called the Swadian Militia, it looks like a regular army at all.

In Kant's view, these militiamen are eligible to participate in real wars even in the Principality of Lions!

"Salute to you, Lord Kant."

20 Swadian recruits and 10 Swadian militiamen lined up and stood with their heads held high like a military parade.

This made Kant smile a little: "Very good."

With these 30 infantry capable of fighting, he can finally occupy the sentry oasis with confidence.

Even if the gnolls who were defeated and fled into the desert organized a counterattack again, Kant was not without the strength to fight, on the contrary, he would firmly occupy the oasis and develop better.

"The flowers of the desert need blood to be watered."

Kant took a deep breath of air, and the strong smell of blood was still lingering between his nose and mouth.

Looking up at the sky, the last rays of the sun have fallen, and the bright moon appears in the sky, releasing the bright moonlight, accompanied by the whole bright galaxy, bringing a tranquility that belongs to the night.

It's just that in the sentry oasis, the gnoll corpses all over the ground and the strong smell of blood have destroyed this artistic conception.

"Clean up the battlefield."

Kant waved his hand and instructed the soldiers, "Gather the bodies of these gnolls and burn them."

"Understood." The soldiers responded and took action.

Burning these gnoll corpses is to prevent contamination of the water supply after decomposing.

After all, in the desert, the water resources of the oasis are precious strategic materials. These dirty corpses rot and form various germs. Once they infiltrate the sand and pollute the water source, it is really regrettable.

This is something to be aware of.

The soldiers also understood, so they worked together to drag the gnoll corpses, which were piled up under the sand dunes a few hundred meters away.

Kant, on the other hand, closed his eyes and communicated with the system in his mind.

The main quest, which has been dragging on for 16 years, can finally be carried out.

Now that Kant occupies the sentry oasis, with the help of the system, he can build a village, develop his own power, and then control the entire Naron Desert, or extend his tentacles back into the lion principality.

"System, is it possible to build a village here?"

Kant asked silently in his heart.

"Yes." The system replied simply, and a dialog box popped up at the same time.

[Ding...After your careful exploration, I finally discovered this area]

[Main quest: "Building a Village" completed]

[Reward: 1000 Dinars]

[Introduction: This is an oasis in a barren desert. How to develop your village is debatable. 】

The dialog box disappears.

Right in front of Kant's eyes, the data from the system began to entangle and condense, and a two-story building composed of stone and wood finally materialized in this world.

This is the traditional architecture of the kingdom of Swadia in the system.

At the same time, a new system dialog appears.

[Ding... Your village has been established, please name it]

[Note: After naming, the lord interface will be opened]

"name?"

Kant was slightly taken aback, looked at the building in front of him, and blurted out: "Drehem."

The most famous city in the Kingdom of Swadia is located in the center of the entire Calradia continent.

[Ding... Village name: Dehrim]

The village is officially named.

And with Kant's affirmation, Dehrim's interface immediately appeared on the retina.

【Drehem】

[Lord: Kant]

【Category: Swadia Village】

【Population: 50 people】

[Building: Administration Hall]

[Can be built: houses, walls, mills, watchtowers, wells]

[Current troops: Swadian Recruits (20), Swadian Militia (10)]

[Available to recruit: Swadia Recruits]

[Comment: This inconspicuous village is called "Dehrim", and it is located in a small oasis with a bleak future. 】

Before Kant's eyes, the data flow completely disappeared.

And the village he named "Dehrim" finally appeared in front of him.

The village may be a bit large.

In the current Dehrim, there is only the Consultative Hall representing the center of the village. This is often where the village elders live. In the system, there are NPCs and background buildings for players to obtain tasks.

It's just that when it came to this world, it was a real building.

"Dear Lord."

Appearing with a compliment, Kant was stunned for a moment.

Right next to this stone building, the thick wooden door was opened, and Swadian peasants in linen robes were streaming out, bowing their heads respectfully, and greeting Kant.

"Yeah." Kant nodded.

It was only then that he remembered that on the village interface of "Dehrim", a population of 50 people was also included.

No more, no less, there were just 50 Swadian peasants standing neatly in front of them.
