Lord of the Oasis

These people from the kingdom of Swadia are not old and weak women and children, they are all strong men.

Eat less?

That is simply impossible!

Counting from today, Dehrim's food reserves can only feed everyone for ten days.

This simply makes Kant's scalp tingle!

What are you kidding?

In this desert oasis, without food and water, people are absolutely dead!

And most importantly.

The gnoll's counterattack doesn't know when it will start. Dehrim is still in a state of crisis, and the food reserves in the fief are insufficient. For Kant, a new lord who has just taken office and is basically poor and white, it can be called torture. , or uninterrupted torture!

"This is really troublesome."

Kant lowered his head and pondered, realizing the seriousness of the problem: "The food problem must be solved first!"

He made up his mind.

At any time, in any world, the issue of food is the most important issue, whether in reality, in games, or in the strange world now.

Even more so for Kant.

In the current Sentinel Oasis, the people stationed in Dehrim need to have a full stomach.

Only by maintaining sufficient physical strength can they resist the attack of the gnolls.

After all, you are hungry, your whole body is weak and weak, and it is very difficult to raise your weapon. How can you face the possibility of a large group of gnolls?

Even these Swadian peasants need physical strength to hold scythes to protect their villages!

"Definitely have to find a way."

Kant frowned, thinking in his heart.

Reducing food distribution, although it can last for more time, for the current Dehrim, it is equivalent to killing chickens and getting eggs, killing one thousand enemies and self-destructing eight hundred stupid things, he will never do it.

Without strength, it means that there is no ability to resist!

"Let's go to the storage room." Kant returned to the Consulate.

The militiaman followed behind him.

The corner room on the first floor of the Consulate Hall is the current storage room, about 30 square meters. The shelves are full of bread, dried meat, and chubby cabbage.

The smell of food filled the air.

"That's all we have?" Kant frowned, his face a little unhappy.

The militiaman replied: "Yes, Lord, that's all."

Generally speaking, it is not far from what the militia reported. In total, there should be 500 portions of bread, 250 portions of dried meat, and 100 pieces of cabbage.

Of course, also remove today's breakfast, 16 servings of bread, 5 servings of dried meat and 5 cabbage.

So it seems that there is a lot of food, which is piled up in the storage room, but for the current 80 adults, three meals a day, and snacks for soldiers on duty at night, can only last for 10 days.

After all, these Swadians are all strong, middle-aged men!

Three meals a day need to be supplemented with a lot of food, not to mention that in the future development of the fief, the physical exertion will be even greater, and the requirements for energy intake will definitely be higher.

Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the amount of food, but also to improve the variety of food.

"correct."

Kant raised his head slightly and said to the militiaman, "I remember that there should be a lot of supplies in those three carriages."

This was all prepared by him in the Principality of Lions.

Include plenty of food.

Although some were consumed when they came to the sentry oasis, and some were taken away by the cavalry who left, there will definitely be leftovers, including those specially purchased foods that are resistant to high temperature and storage.

"Also, we checked last night."

The militiaman hurriedly replied: "It contains bread, bacon, sausage, and a small amount of salt, sugar, and spices.

"

Kant nodded: "How much is the portion?"

"All together, there should be 3 days' worth." The militiaman replied.

"What? Just a mere 3-day supply?"

Kant was stunned and couldn't believe that the food he bought at that time was a whole carriage!

Because he considered not only the food consumption during the desert trek, but also the additional food consumption during the development of the sentry oasis, which can be said to be enough for the previous 30 Swadian farmers to eat for nearly half a month!

"After we checked, we found that there was indeed only three days' worth." The militiamen continued to report truthfully.

But Kant's brows were wrinkled, like a Sichuan character.

This was beyond his expectations.

"That's 13 days?" Kant frowned.

The militiaman nodded and said, "Yes."

Thinking about the consumption during the trek, Kant's brows are even more wrinkled. He can be sure that he does not eat much food, but when the cavalry left before flashed in his mind, Kant was a little surprised.

"These guys." Kant couldn't help but grit his teeth.

This is definitely revenge!

Those guys are taking revenge on themselves, using them to risk their lives to exterminate the gnoll tribe that occupies the Sentinel Oasis!

"You really won." Kant reached out and pinched his eyebrows, sighing in his heart.

However, he did not continue to be angry, the fault was his.

But thinking about the fact that he has just started the development of the fief, he understands that there is a big gap between reality and ideals. It is difficult for him to maintain one step at a time. He does not know how many difficulties await him in the future.

"Lord Lord."

The militiaman spoke and persuaded: "Let's eat something first, breakfast is ready."

A Swadian peasant who acted as a cook came by, holding a tray with a large wooden bowl full of food, chopped air-dried meat and chopped cabbage, stewed with fine salt and pepper. made thick soup.

At the same time, there were two palm-sized slices of white bread on the tray, which had been baked on an open flame and had an attractive browning.

"Well, breakfast looks good."

Kant took the tray.

Worries aside beforehand, it's breakfast time.

The soup is rich, and the stewed air-dried meat and cabbage taste great on toasted bread.

And throughout the oasis, the aroma of food is spreading.

The peasants in Swadia are also eating bread and soup with big mouthfuls, all with excited smiles on their faces, and occasionally discuss a few words in a low voice, and when they talk about happy things, they also burst into laughter. Voice.

This is his fief.

Kant likes this kind of relaxed atmosphere in which he can secretly rest for a while while he is tense and busy.

This is the joy that comes from being far away from the Principality of Lions, the vortex of power, especially his full control of this place, the right to keep everything in the palm of his hand, which makes him even more fascinated.

No one does not love power, and not everyone wants to be a hermit.

ambition,

Everyone has this sometimes.

"Nice, delicious food, thank the chef for me."

Kant put down his knife and fork with satisfaction on his face.

After eating breakfast, his brows slightly spread out, and he felt at ease, so he left the Consular Hall and walked towards the oasis pond outside, purely to appreciate his own fief territory and to divide the land use area in advance.

"Crack."

But Kant didn't pay attention. When he came to the pond, he seemed to have stepped on something.

Before he could lower his head, a diffuse stench appeared in his nostrils. Looking down, Kant's usual calm face was a little more distorted: "Damn it, this is really disgusting."

On his cowhide boots, he stepped on the sticky brown object by the pond.

Gnoll excrement.

And his slightly distorted face was filled with gritted hatred. He swept across the surrounding pond and found at least 30 such landmines, almost like a landmine array!

The gnolls who are still in the primitive tribe don't know what is hygiene and what is epidemic prevention!

In fact, this primitive creature also appears to be immune to common diseases.

"Made."

Kant scolded secretly, stepped back quickly, rubbed his feet on the sandy ground, and rubbed off the disgusting excrement.

But at this moment, a prompt box from the system appeared on the retina.

[Ding... Temporary task release]

[Temporary Mission: Rebuilding the Oasis]

[Reward: Flour × 20 bags]

[Introduction: Your fief is located in an oasis, but it is currently polluted by filthy gnolls. Clear out your oasis again, it will be hope for the future. 】

system tasks.

Kant was slightly startled, but looking at the introduction on his retina, surprise flashed in his eyes.

Even the nausea of ​​stepping on excrement disappeared.

This is charcoal in the snow!

What the current Sentinel Oasis lacks and desperately needs is undoubtedly food.

And now after this temporary task is completed, the reward obtained is exactly the food that Kant needs most, and it is still 10 bags of flour, which can be baked into bread with water!

Although 20 bags of flour is not a lot, it can at least add a few extra days to spare.

At that time, Kant's choice will also be greater.

Whether it is to return to the Principality of Lions to buy food, or go to a deeper desert to find a way to survive, Kant has more time to make a decision, and he doesn't have to worry about the problem of food storage overwhelming his arrangement in a short time.

"Cleaning up the oasis, it's very simple." Kant had a plan in his mind.

In fact, even if there are no system tasks, he will arrange for the Swadian farmers to focus on cleaning up this oasis.

After all, after the gnoll lived, it was really a mess!

"Tree?"

Just as Kant was about to arrange cleanup work for the farmers, out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the northern part of the pond, where a few Populus euphratica trees were rooting, swaying with the wind, showing themselves in the early morning sun.

But in Kant's mind, a tree also appeared.

Date palm!

The reward for the temporary task of the system, 20 date palm trees in the full fruit period!

Before Kant completed two tasks, one was to defeat the sneak attacking gnoll troops, and the other was to exterminate the gnoll tribe, and respectively obtained 20 date palm trees and a stronghold of desert robbers.

These are all things that can appear directly in this world, just like the Consular Hall!
