Lord of the Oasis

Chapter two hundred and sixty five.

This is Kant's domain.

Although it was in name, it was gradually controlled by him.

Stepping forward slowly, Kant came to the top of the hill. In front of him was a vast sea of ​​sand. The continuous sand dunes echoed the hills below him in the distance, but the scorching aura from the desert came with the breeze.

All that is contained in this breeze is a cruel confession of civilization.

No civilization can conquer this desert.

Even the gnolls who are naturally endured and the bereaved dogs who were driven into the desert by humans would never be able to return to the North County Territory, which is relatively prosperous to them. , so a large-scale migration and invasion of North County, the end result is like a massacre of corpses everywhere.

The brutal slaughter ten years ago even stretched from the North County Territory of the Lion Principality to the outpost oasis in the Nalen Desert. Hundreds of low-level Gnoll tribes were slaughtered, and the remaining ones were all terrified.

It can be seen from Kant.

The tribe of low-level gnolls has been completely dispersed in this desert.

If still before.

Hundreds of gnoll tribes, numbering close to tens of thousands.

It is estimated that even if Kant was canonized as a sentry oasis, he would not dare to take office easily as a baron who commanded the Nalen Desert. After all, after the crowd tactics reached their peak, even if they had a quality advantage!

What's more, when I first came to the Nalen Desert, the quality was not dominant.

"It's really sad."

Kant sighed, because now is different.

Having already mastered the Naron Desert, he has already established his own foundation here.

Not only does it have a large number of elite soldiers, but it also has a towering, solid, and well-defended military castle on the Sentinel Oasis, the only large water source in the southern Nalen Desert.

If you want to destroy, you have to pay a cruel price!

A moment of contemplation at the top of the mountain.

Kant turned his head, and the five desert robbers behind him were still standing respectfully.

On the paved road under the hill, the accompanying 103 top Swadian knights were holding cone-headed guns in a formation that was ready to set off at any time, quietly waiting for Kant to continue to set off.

Indeed, he will not wait too long here.

This mountain pass is very important.

Kant also wanted to make arrangements here.

A little pondering, Kant's thinking communication system.

A card that was still floating in his mind immediately shattered.

At the top of the hill next to him, the fluctuation of the void spreads, and a two-story building built with neat stones and wood immediately appeared on it. The foundation was solid and the walls and wood were spliced.

Even on the topmost roof, there are vents that can be closed at any time.

This building is a post station.

The desert robbers widened their eyes in astonishment from behind.

"Prepare for you."

Kant turned his head and said to them: "You can live in this inn in the future, which is much better than a temporary tent." After a pause, Kant said at the same time: "However, the task of guarding the mountain pass cannot be relaxed, and you must remain vigilant."

"Understood, thank you for your kindness, Lord!"

The desert robbers immediately bowed respectfully.

Compared with temporary tents built with linen, it is obviously more comfortable as a building's post.

Similar to the station built by Kant at the top of the underground lake, the top of this station also has a watch tower more than 5 meters high, which allows people to climb up and observe the surrounding situation. Facing the unobstructed sand sea outside, the view is better. Under the circumstance, an abnormal target can be achieved at a distance of more than 1,000 meters.

Counting these desert robbers, when they are stationed in this mountain pass, the most important building is the integration of guarding, monitoring, reconnaissance or cooperation.

If Kant's troops are sufficient in the future.

It can also form a transportation network between this station and the central station, which is not inferior to the convenient waterway.

"So be it."

Kant walked into the inn to check.

The house was well-stocked, and there were plenty of grains and bacon in the pantry.

It seems that there is absolutely no problem in accommodating about 20 people.

As for any more, it is necessary to have the troops set up tents around the post as at the central post, otherwise it is impossible to live in too many people with these two-story wooden buildings.

But this Yamaguchi post station does not need too many people stationed.

The biggest function of this mountain pass is to serve as the outpost of the town of "Aaron".

On weekdays, there is naturally the delivery of materials from towns.

As for drinking water, it's even easier.

Conde took a step, walked down the hill, and came to the desert area outside the hill.

The paved road originally paved with stones and flagstones reaches the mountain pass next to the hill, even the river channel built by Kant. The river channel with a width of about 5 meters seems to be just inside the mountain pass, parallel to the paved road. Cut off, the flowing river overflows, forming a natural creek, flowing into the sand layer outside the mountain pass.

As early as a few days ago, the original small river had washed the edge of the desert with an indirect and continuous water source, forming a pit seven or eight meters in length and width, and a depth of half a meter, and the sparkling water became a small lake.

Even the scouring of the creek brings soil originating from the Sangwaya Mountains.

In just a few days, just outside the water source, heat-resistant vegetation shrubs appeared.

The vegetation in the desert grows very fast as long as there is water. Looking at the green appearance, it is estimated that it will take a few months to form another small oasis at the location of this mountain pass.

It's a man-made oasis.

Seeing this greenery, Kant felt a little more fond of it.

Then he turned his head and told the five desert robbers stationed here: "If it's okay on weekdays, just go to the mountains to dig some soil and cover it around the puddles, so that the vegetation can grow more lush."

"Understood." The desert robbers nodded.

This is no big deal.

What's more, it was Kant's instructions, of course they must do it with heart.

"let's go."

Kant saw that there was nothing to do here, so he turned on his horse again.

The 103 Swadian knights behind him immediately crowded over. Kant tapped the horse's belly, shook the reins vigorously, and took the lead in galloping in front of the horse. The hard stone pavement under his feet immediately turned into a softer layer of sand.

The roar of the galloping horses disappeared, but there was a dull thud of horses' hooves stomping on the sand, including the dust behind the horses. Mercedes Benz, the momentum is strong and majestic, which makes people tremble.

In the face of the galloping cavalry, no troop can maintain a balance of mentality.

But no one can see it yet.

The path chosen by Kant is to travel behind the hidden dunes.

This was to avoid contact with the spy caravan that appeared in the Stone Pass. Although it was a long detour, it could be prevented from contacting the towns in the Sangwaya Mountains.

This is Kant's hole card and concealment.

If it is so easily known, then the situation is not optimistic.

Of course, those spy caravans usually head north, heading towards the sentry oasis. No one could have imagined that Kant had established another town in the deep mountains of the Sangwaya Mountains in the southwest, and he could also Produce a lot of urgently needed materials in the Naron Desert. If the development is successful, the Stone Pass and the Principality of Lions may not be needed.

This is the means by which Kant can get rid of the nobles in the Lion Principality and launch material blockades and restrictions. It will definitely make those nobles who think they can control Kant's lifeline, a logistics base that gritted their teeth.

In the traditional impression, the Narun Desert is a barren and uninhabited forbidden area of ​​civilization.

This is indeed the case.

But it was different when Kant arrived.

When the salt mines were discovered, it was even more different.

The profit of salt can make the nobles endure terrifying losses, send mercenaries and slaves to mine salt, and after transporting it, turn it into the finest refined salt and sell it to countries across the continent.

Although the price is high, it is worth the price!

The salt purchased from the distant dwarves is not expensive, but there are still countless merchants who endure the long journey and dangerous bandits on the way, and bring back the salt of Baihuahua.

It is all caused by the greed of expensive salt, or equivalent silver coins!

Now, in the depths of the desert so close at hand, salt mines have been discovered.

What about losing some slaves and mercenaries?

For those nobles, what they lack most are people, and what they lack most are desperadoes who are willing to give their lives for the silver coins in their hands.

And they sat high at the top, and they made a fortune by eating human blood steamed buns.

Of course, the only difference.

In the hands of these nobles, there is no blood, only employment documents.

Some are desperate desperados, greedy mercenaries, businessmen who want to speculate, become partners of these employment documents, and use their own lives to make a bloody path for the nobles, even if they sacrifice their own lives. , because the attractiveness of silver coins is infinite!

After a long journey, Kant arrived at the central station at dusk, but facing the light of the dusk, Kant squinted slightly because he found an unusual scene.

Right next to the inn, a large number of merchants and carriages gathered, and they seemed to be denounced.

And just inside the inn, 10 Swadian militiamen were standing at the top with crossbows.

Just outside the inn, 120 Salander riders were lined up neatly, Rolf was standing at the front, and behind them, there were 220 desert robbers, holding spears and machetes restlessly, looking hideous.

The voices were full of people, and the two sides seemed to be about to clash.

"Go and have a look."

Kant frowned and led the troops to rush down under the dunes.

The dull sound passed on this gentle desert plain, awakening the two waves of troops that were still facing each other in the distance.

Compared to Rolf and the others' surprise, the team of businessmen was a lot more flustered, especially the caravan guards with weapons on the periphery, showing fear and panic.

Because the comers are hundreds of heavy cavalry!
