Lord of the Oasis

After Derrick's troops arrived outside the city gate, Bandak came with a dozen soldiers to see them off.

While Bandak was encouraging the soldiers who were about to go to Durandal.

Some civilians came to the streets inside the city gate.

Derrick sent someone to ask the people why they came.

After questioning, it was discovered that these people were family members of soldiers who died in battle.

They had long heard the news that the lord was going to send people to Durandal. When they saw a column of their troops heading towards the city gate this morning, they hurriedly followed them.

The families of the soldiers all held some ordinary sacrifices in their hands.

They could not cross the desert to visit the soldiers' graves, so they could only ask Derrick's soldiers to bring these gifts to the graves of their relatives.

When Derrick saw this scene, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.

The soldiers under Derrick stared closely at Derrick: according to the rules of the army, they could not accept such a request if he did not agree.

Derrick thought for a while, nodded and said, "Put it on the backup carriage."

All the soldiers who received the request solemnly placed the sacrifices they received on the carriage behind the team.

After lingering at the city gate for a while, Derrick said goodbye to Bandak and everyone, and led the army into the desert. Disappeared in the dust.

A few days after Derrick and the others arrived in Durandal, Dehrem's messenger sent a message saying: Durandal's reservoir project has officially started.

This is the result reached by Kant after the ministers of the two groups fought hard.

Durandal's other projects will be discussed again after the construction of the reservoir is completed.

Derrick and the others also took part in the project to build the reservoir with their troops.

It is expected that initial results will be seen after two months.

Kant was sitting in the Senate Hall of the Royal Palace, checking the progress of Dehreim's outward investments every day.

A few days ago, Kant also received samples of the national emblem selected from the private sector.

This time the style of the national flag and national emblem is collected from the public. Many proposals with excellent designs were received.

Kant selected the proposal that best met his original expectations.

Let the ritual officials in the palace make the corresponding finished products.

It is planned to wait until the founding of the People's Republic of China is announced before it can be officially put into use.

Households who devised plans that were adopted naturally received generous rewards.

Cumberland's port route was officially opened, but so far, this port has only reached an agreement with the Elf Kingdom to communicate with each other. However, the distance between the main city of the Elf Kingdom and Cumberland has been greatly reduced. In the past, it took three days to travel by horse-drawn carriage, but now it can be reached in just one day by boat.

In a few days, it will be Kant's birthday.

For Kant, there was nothing to value in such days.

However, the court officials in the palace were extremely concerned about this.

On the day before Kant's birthday, the palace was decorated with lights and colorful lights.

"Lord." The ceremony officer came to the Council Hall again.

It was lunch time now. Kant finished his dessert and rinsed his mouth with tea. He sighed at the courtesy officer and said, "You've been a frequent visitor recently."

"I'm sorry to disturb you during the lord's dining time." the ceremony officer said humbly.

"It's okay. You came at a good time. I've already had lunch." Kant replied, "Is there anything else going on this time?"

"The list of ministers invited to the lord's birthday party tomorrow has been compiled. I will hand it over to the lord for your review," the etiquette officer replied.

"Yeah, pretty good." Kant nodded after briefly looking at the list.

After saying that, he handed the list back to the etiquette officer.

"In addition, the Ministry of Etiquette has designed a new dress for the lord's birthday. I hope the lord can appreciate it in person." The etiquette officer lowered his head and said.

"Actually, you don't have to worry so much." Kant frowned.

"The lord's birthday is a day of equal importance to the New Year in the year. Naturally, the Ministry of Rites must be prepared to do its job competently," the Rites Officer insisted.

Kant couldn't help but stroke his forehead. In recent days, the palace officials have been busy coming in and out. The entire court and the people knew that the lord's birthday was coming next.

Even Derrick and others from Durandal sent congratulatory letters.

This kind of atmosphere really made Kant uncomfortable.

"Then show it to me first." Kant compromised.

The courtesy officer nodded: "Yes."

Then he stepped aside and high-fived: "Present the new dress."

Two ceremonial officials carried the wooden stake holding the dress and walked into the hall. He placed it neatly in the hall and then pushed it aside.

Kant looked up, with a hint of praise in his eyes.

"This dress is made with the meaning of the national emblem chosen by the lord a few days ago. It is based on cinnabar color, and the patterns on the brocade dress were made overnight by several highly skilled female workers, with smooth lines. Overall, it is pure and elegant. , and your temperament is very consistent with the lord." The ceremony officer introduced at the side.

"It's very well done." Kant praised: "But the cost of making such a dress is very high, so I'd better not focus on it in the future."

Kant naturally had his own worries in his heart: Dehreem seemed to have a very good future. It was his own ability and the sacrifices of many soldiers that allowed the people of Dehrem to have a beautiful vision for the future.

But as a lord, he can't forget the cruel reality behind this beauty. Now it's just a good start. Kant would not be satisfied with this, let alone stop and start enjoying it.

What he wants to convey to everyone is not only his ambition, but also his determination.

If anyone notices his extravagance, the energy Dehrim has finally gathered will gradually loosen up.

For the current Kant, in terms of material conditions: he can sleep on a comfortable bed every day, and his three daily meals include delicious red wine and delicious food. It is enough.

If you want to ask for more in this regard, you must match your country's capabilities.

In this way, both the people and the ministers will be convinced by you.

Kant asked the soldiers on the side to come forward and move the uniform to the side hall.

When the etiquette officer saw that Kant had accepted the dress, he left with peace of mind and left with his subordinates.

Kant was sitting in the Senate Hall, thinking: According to the schedule, there will be a big gathering tomorrow.

At the rally, Kant would address the people of the city and the high officials of the court.

During the year, the opportunity to hold such a gathering is relatively rare. Most of the time, I have such an opportunity during the New Year.
