Lord of the Oasis

With the green smoke in the kitchen, the aroma of the food began to permeate.

The ingredients that had been prepared last night were all processed in the kitchen at this time. The peasant women who were as strong as men were more attentive, and the taste and texture were much stronger than before.

The entire sentry oasis warmly welcomes this.

No one will refuse to be fine.

For example, the most commonly eaten bread and air-dried meat can become well-loved delicacies in the hands of these peasant women.

Slice the bread and bake until golden on both sides.

The air-dried meat is torn into strips, and the roasted oil is slightly burnt.

After eating this delicious breakfast, there is no problem at noon, especially the light cavalry who go out to patrol the sand dunes. Every time they will come with a few more pieces of bread and dried meat. to have a meal.

Including new inventions from the last two days.

The wheat grains are boiled and become very soft, add the crushed date palms and sugar cubes.

Add 20 eggs and beat to form long and thin eggs, and finally thicken with flour and water to form a thick soup.

Sweet egg drop oatmeal.

Just two days after its launch, this slightly sweet porridge has been a hit with everyone.

There are even unique ways to eat.

Coat the baked browned and crispy bread with a layer of wheat porridge, bite it down, the slightly sweet soft and glutinous taste, mixed with the crispy taste of the bread, chew hard in the mouth, let the tongue absorb the sweetness and burnt aroma. , and then take a bite of the salty and fragrant air-dried meat that is oily after being roasted, this feeling is really too wonderful.

Even if he was used to the expensive dishes in Lion Castle, Kant also praised this sweet egg drop wheat porridge.

certainly…

As a lord, Kant's three meals should be more abundant.

This is one of the privileges of being a lord and a high-ranking person. People from Calradia continent with a strong class concept and view of hierarchy take it for granted, and it is normal.

As a superior and a vested interest.

Of course Kant would not correct it either.

With 10 Swadian infantry, Kant routinely patrols his "Drehem" fortress.

This is his morning job.

However, this routine is really a routine, usually just patrolling around the fortress. The civilians and soldiers who come to this world are usually very serious, driving the pioneering spirit, and there is no slack at all.

Even the workers of the construction team are quite conscientious.

At least Kant has never seen his subjects have the slightest slacking behavior.

The soldiers did not relax at all.

"That's good." Kant looked around, working hard as usual, nodding in satisfaction.

Go back to the Consulate.

However, he found that Manid was already waiting in the hall.

When I saw Kant coming, I hurriedly bowed and salute, and said solemnly: "Lord Kant, I have successfully completed the task and returned, and bought a lot of tools, as well as some food and fur products to keep out the cold at night."

"Yeah." Kant nodded and said in a reassuring tone, "I'm very relieved when you do things."

Manid saluted respectfully again: "Thank you for your trust."

Kant came to his place, while Manid reported: "This time I went to Stone Pass, Baron Dylan was still the same, luckily the salt trade went well, 20 bags of fine white salt, we got The profit of 1,000 large silver coins, and at the same time I used 100 large silver coins to purchase 500 iron farm implements, and 2 whole truckloads of wheat."

"In the future, we will not be short of farm tools for the time being. Well done."

Kant nodded in satisfaction.

When he was unloading the goods from the wagons this morning, he had already seen the bundles of farm implements, including hoes, shovels, farm forks, and logging axes, all of which were made of iron and were more expensive in the iron-deficient North County. Not a lot.

But the sentry oasis is useful. After all, most of the farmers are refugees, and they don’t bring much things when they flee.

Manid went on to recount what he saw on his way to Stone Pass.

Kant also interjected and asked, "I didn't see feather arrows and crossbow arrows on the carriage." After a pause, Kant squinted slightly, and said sarcastically, "Could it be that my Uncle Dylan did not agree with me in the letter to him. And this little request?"

"Yes, he rejected the idea of ​​purchasing a large number of feather arrows and crossbow arrows."

Manid shrugged and said: "Actually, the procurement process of these farm tools is a little difficult. The baron's meaning is very subtle. If I didn't put 10 extra silver coins for the merchant who provided the farm tools as a rebate, it would be impossible to buy it at all. There are so many farm tools, after all, you know, if you melt these farm tools, they can be turned into weapons."

"It's like the inferior products used by the peasants in the Stone Pass?" Kant couldn't help sneering: "Just kidding."

Back to Calradia continent.

Has an upgrade system for the entire kingdom of Swadia, as well as support from 4 other nations.

Would Kant need these inferior weapons?

Totally impossible!

But Kant really knew exactly what Baron Dylan was planning. He was afraid that after the Sentinel Oasis had obtained so many farm tools, it might be smelted into weapons, which might have a partial impact on his plans in the future.

Kant proposed that the idea of ​​purchasing a large number of feather arrows and crossbow arrows was also rejected for this reason.

"But I think we may be able to purchase these materials in the future."

Manid shrugged, but his tone was calm: "At present, the two of us do not have the least trust."

"Trust?" Kant's mouth curled slightly: "With those guys, this thing never existed."

"But there must be," Manid added.

Shaking his head slightly, Manid continued: "Interest is the best foundation for ensuring trust. When we let Baron Dylan rely more and more on the benefits brought by the salt trade, trust was born."

Kant shook his head and chuckled: "It is estimated that it will be time to attack us."

This was the truth, and it was also in line with his understanding of Baron Dylan.

Both he and Manid couldn't help but smile.

If he really starts, then the Baron Dylan will understand how vulnerable the army without logistical supplies is in the Naron desert. yellow sand.

The 7-meter-high city wall houses nearly 600 soldiers and civilians.

It is easy to defend this fortress.

Humans are not gnolls, they can withstand hunger, thirst and heat, and the conquest of the Sentinel Oasis by the Principality of Lions 10 years ago has proved this. Logistics supplies, even low-level gnolls who have no armor and weapons and only know how to charge in a mess can't take it.

The harsh natural environment did not allow the original lion Principality to maintain its expedition for too long.

In less than a month, he fully retreated from the Sentinel Oasis and withdrew from the Nalen Desert. Instead, he conferred the canonization of the Stone Pass, which was the logistics supply center at that time, to Dylan, and promoted him to be a baron, responsible for guarding this important pass.

"Recently rested for a while."

Kant arranged for Manid: "Continue to go to the Stone Pass at the end of the month. At that time, I will let you bring more fine white salt. After all, there are only 20 bags, and even those nobles and knights in North County can't satisfy it."

Manid nodded and said, "Understood." However, he still suggested to Kant: "Sir, we must increase the scale of trade, especially at the moment, our three carriages are not enough to transport too many goods. Although the trade is profitable enough, we want to buy some materials back, but it seems too little."

"This question." Kant frowned and told the businessman he trusted most: "You are responsible for handling it, buy some carriages and horses, and you can transport the purchased materials back."

"Okay." Manid nodded.

But Kant pondered a little, and of course he understood that relying solely on carriages and horses was not the best solution.

The soft desert is not suitable for this kind of plain vehicle.

When Kant and the carriage came to the Sentinel Oasis, they encountered some sand dunes that were difficult to pass through. They had to let the peasants push the wooden wheels. Otherwise, the soft desert would not be able to bear the strength at all. Come up to the wagon full of goods.

The best solution, of course, is to form a camel team.

The history of the earth has proved that the camel team composed of dromedary is fully capable of serving as a vehicle across the desert.

However, there are only 10 dromedary camels in Kant.

Compared with the scale of hundreds of camels forming a team, or even thousands of camels forming a camel city, it is pitiful, which is why Kant did not use these 10 camels as trade vehicles.

The cargo that 10 camels can carry is too little.

This is the disadvantage compared to the carriage.

"Stabilize the sentry oasis first."

Kant shook his head and did not continue to think about this question.

There are no dromedary camels in this world, and Kant has never seen a creature similar to a camel in any of the books in this world, or in various travel notes.

This means that if you want to form a camel team, there is absolutely no way except relying on the system.

But if given the chance, Kant will definitely form a camel team.

With this camel team to form a transport team, it may not be a big problem to pass through the cruel devil zone of the jackal population. As for the 30-day journey to reach the coast of Mannheim, there is also a chance to extend the tentacles.

There was a bit of coldness in Kant's eyes: "The most important thing is the gnolls of the Greymane Kingdom."

Victory, he will get a new qualification.

That is to step into a new world, the world north of the Narun Desert!

PS: There are 3 more at night! Today, say 5 more, 5 more! And the problem of water, sorry, it was too hot before, and the code words couldn't calm down at all. Everyone knows that the hot head is dizzy, and it is impossible to concentrate on what I want to write. I'm going to speed things up now, sorry about that. If you can, I still hope that you can help to book it all. Although the water I wrote recently, ahem, please help me... It doesn't cost a few cents, thank you very much!
