Lord of the Oasis

Kant had a dream: In the dream, he was standing in a tunnel. It seemed that a strong wind was blowing through the tunnel, but his body did not feel any sensation. No one around seemed to see him. Fear and panic gradually rose in Kant's heart. I want to try to escape from the tunnel by running. But no matter what, I couldn't escape.

When his heart began to despair, a pair of hands pushed him out of the tunnel, allowing the light of the sun to fill Kant's body again. Kant wanted to turn around and see clearly who the owner of those hands was, but he could only see a blurry figure from behind.

"Lord." Kant heard someone calling.

After opening his eyes dimly, Kant saw the official pacing anxiously beside the bedside table.

After seeing Kant open his eyes, the official said happily: "Lord, you finally woke up."

Kant looked out the window and saw that the sky was completely dark. Asked: "What time is it now?"

"The evening banquet is about to begin. Lord, you must start preparations quickly." The etiquette officer explained the current situation.

Kant nodded and got up from the bed.

The etiquette officer immediately stepped forward to change his clothes, and the attendant brought a basin for Kant to wash his hands.

After all preparations were completed, Kant led a group of people to the banquet hall.

The guest seats in the banquet hall were already filled with ministers who had been invited to the palace. After Kant arrived, the music started playing.

"Congratulations on your lord's birthday!" After Kant took his seat, the ministers stood up and greeted him neatly.

"Well, thank you very much. Sit down quickly." Kant greeted.

"Serve!" the etiquette officer standing outside the banquet hall announced.

A neat row of ceremonial workers walked to the front of the hall with dishes in their hands, placed the wine and dishes on the tables of each guest table, and then respectfully left.

"Yes." After seeing that all the dishes were served, Kant nodded and said, "As the leader, I would like to offer a glass of wine to all the ministers. Thank you for coming to this banquet."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kant raised the glass full of wine in his hand and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing how happy the lord was, the ministers also picked up the wine glasses on their desks and drank a whole glass of wine.

"I take the place of the ranks of the army,

I offer this glass of wine to you, my lord. "Bandak sat relatively close to Kant. At this time, he had already filled his second glass of wine and raised his glass to Kant.

Kant smiled and nodded.

Then more civil servants and generals toasted to Kant.

After Kant drank a few drinks, he felt a little overwhelmed. So he stopped the toasting ceremony and invited everyone to eat together.

During the banquet, many ministers took out their own gifts.

Some of the objects are indeed rare, especially one of the bows and arrows, which is of the highest quality in terms of shape and force. I don’t know where the minister found such a weapon.

Kant was not interested in this, while Bandak looked at it with straight eyes.

People who have been on the battlefield for a long time have a love for weapons that is beyond ordinary people. In Bandak's eyes, this bow and arrow can be collected as a treasure.

The process of displaying the gifts was an eye-opener for all the ministers.

There are some proud people, and there are also envious people.

It added a lot of fun to the dinner party.

In order not to disturb such a happy atmosphere, Kant accepted all the gifts given by the ministers.

However, after the banquet is over, they will be returned to the officials who gave the gifts.

After having had enough wine and food, everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks. Start listening to Kant talk about the ambitions of founding a nation.

In Kant's eyes: Calradia's sphere of influence will never stop at the Nalun Desert.

But a journey of thousands of miles begins with a single step.

The Naren Desert serves as the starting point of the Calradian Empire.

Making this place an oasis in multiple senses is the primary goal at the moment.

The development of the capital city of Dehreem is now booming, and both military and political affairs are developing on an upward curve.

Kant believed they had enough power to accomplish their first goal.

Only after jumping to a new level can we have the opportunity to continue to implement the blueprint of the Calradian Empire.

Everyone in the audience couldn't help but applaud.

Although they are all high-ranking officials, most of them are in their twenties to thirties.

If you choose to enter politics at this age, passion in your heart is essential.

Kant's words were exactly in line with their expectations.

Anyone who wants to express his ambitions would expect his boss to be someone who sticks to the rules and is content to be mediocre.

Let go of the superficial burdens.

The ministers also began to express their opinions about their positions one after another.

Kant sat in his seat and listened silently while tasting wine.

Everyone talked until late, until most of them passed out drunk at the table.

Kande arranged for everyone to disperse and watched as the guards helped the officials out of the banquet hall.

Maybe I ate too much today compared to usual days.

Kant did not immediately return to the palace where he slept. Instead, accompanied by his guards, he wandered around the palace.

It wasn't until the moonlit night was deep that I went back to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, Kant got up early and went to the Senate Hall to start his new day.

But on this day, there was still only a mountain of copywriting.

Kant sat down at the desk.

I saw a letter on the desktop.

It's from Durandal.

Kant asked the attendant on the side: "When was this letter sent?"

"It was sent to the palace by the messenger two hours ago." the attendant replied.

Kant nodded, silently opened the envelope, and read it carefully.

After I finished reading and put down the letter, a look of joy appeared on my face.

Durandal's reservoir has been built before the rainy season, and people from Durandal's side sent a survey report: This year will be the wettest year in the past ten years.

This is indeed a happy thing for the Calradian Empire, which has just occupied this place.

After Kant sat there and thought for a while, he immediately began to write a reply.

The letter explained Derrick's task of arranging for the troops under Adonis to be allocated vacation time to return home.

Derrick was also asked to remember to report the operation of the reservoir and the water quality survey report on the freshwater lake at all times.

The information reported by Durandal will be handed over to relevant departments within the court for evaluation, and finally summarized to Kant.

Kant asked at the end of the letter: Don't forget to give rewards to the soldiers who are accompanying you.

The project was completed ahead of schedule, which really surprised Kant.

After Kant sorted out the letter, he handed it to the messenger. He also ordered: Let the messenger pick out a few guards and take the boxes of supplies with them to Durandal.
