Lord of the Oasis

For Kant, getting the help of the tree people has a great effect!

After all, this fantasy race has gone beyond the concept of ordinary creatures, even if it is not used for war, even if it is stationed in the castle, it is an existence that makes him feel at ease.

And this bag of natural springs is also an unexpected surprise.

But there are also regrets.

Through detailed communication with Manid.

Kant actually learned that the ancient peace-loving tree people in the Fagon Forest did not accept dinars or gold as currency at all, and even ordinary goods had no idea of ​​accepting them.

Or that there is no concept of trade at all!

They are derived from plants.

It is a natural evolution and belongs to a fantasy race.

Therefore, there is no need to eat and drink like flesh and blood. The roots will absorb nutrients and water from the soil, and the branches and leaves can photosynthesize with sunlight. In addition to being intelligent, they are basically ancient trees.

Just like their appearance, they can be regarded as ancient trees.

Gold is also worthless.

After all, precious metals like gold and silver are still minerals.

Just like the stones that humans see, in the eyes of tree people, these things that are rooted in the ground and can often be seen are a kind of stone, just with a bright yellow appearance.

It's really of no value to the tree people.

Manid has also communicated.

In terms of trade, the tree people do not accept any trade, except for the natural fountain and some strange things with natural power, because they only accept things in exchange, or gifts to friends.

Completely ancient and simple natural race.

Equally old-fashioned.

Without these needed supplies, the tree people would not trade at all.

Even bartering is impossible.

Just as man cannot use the gold in his own hands,

To exchange stones in the hands of other people, perhaps in the eyes of the other party, what you have is a high-value item, but it is useless to your own side, that is, it is worthless to your own side!

Kant put aside his thoughts about Fagon Forest for the time being. After all, this bag of natural springs is enough to last a long time.

Much better than nothing.

"Next..."

Kant's fingers tapped lightly on the table.

The three people at the table were solemn, while Kant said solemnly: "Starting to recruit civilians, I need to train a group of troops that are enough to hold up the battle situation. The quality can be slowed down, but the number must definitely be able to withstand it."

"Understood!" Fatis, as the military commander, immediately responded in a deep voice.

Fingers tap the table.

Kant turned his head and looked at Manid and Jocelyn: "The two of you run more to your respective trade points. Now we don't lack dinars, so buy more food, arrows, tools and other supplies."

"Yes!" Manid and Jocelyn nodded immediately.

Although the Fagon Forest of the Lord of the Rings cannot be traded, the Pender Continent does.

Jocelyn transported all kinds of materials through Pender Continent with complete energy. Sometimes, it was richer than Calradia Continent, enough to satisfy the current "Drehem" castle and quickly hoard materials.

For example, there is no shortage of food in the castle now. There are nearly 2,500 soldiers and civilians, enough to eat for more than a month.

But still not enough.

Next, the danger encountered by Kant and others may not be resolved within a month.

And according to Kant's idea, whether it is in the Pender Continent, Calradia Continent, or the local Lion Principality, they will buy food on a large scale, even if the price is increased.

The purpose is for the future, when the undead arrive, there will be a basic guarantee!

"Wengcheng continues to be built."

Kant thought for a moment.

After thinking about it in his mind, he continued to command: "Dig the moat outside the city wall. Later, I will draw a spring and place it in the moat to ensure the defense capability of the castle."

"Lord Kant." Fatis frowned and said: "It is difficult to dig a moat outside the city wall, after all, it is a layer of sand."

"Sand layer?"

Kant's brows furrowed even more, which he really did not expect.

The construction of city walls and city gates is actually a solid layer of soil at the bottom, rather than a layer of soft sand. This is a change brought about by the system, just like the soil in the farmland appears out of thin air.

Therefore, the construction of city walls and city gates is completely built on soil.

But the outside is still sand.

If you want to dig tunnels, dig a moat, and the soft sand layer collapses, you have to bury all the dug tunnels. Even if they are supported by wooden boards, the spring water will penetrate into the surrounding sand layer, and the sand layer will collapse if it is full of water.

"Then slow down for the time being." Kant sighed slightly and frowned: "The moat doesn't need to be dug."

"Understood." Fatis nodded.

Without digging the moat, there is actually no problem.

Although this kind of fortification is an excellent way to resist the enemy's attack, in front of the enemy who lacks siege equipment, even a towering 10-meter city wall can be regarded as a moat!

As for the dead and resurrected undead skeletons, Fatis doesn't think they will have siege weapons!

This is also the reason why Kant gave up digging the moat.

As long as it can resist the sky of death, then the sea of ​​​​skulls that you will face next, no matter how many you are, can be fearless, and defending the city wall is equivalent to defending the castle!

The four discussed in the executive hall.

There are many difficulties to face next, which need to be handled with great care.

Talking late.

It was Kant who let Fatis and the others go away.

However, the details have been discussed almost, and the rest just needs to be implemented.

This is a critical time period, and the situation is also very tense. At least in Kant's view, if it can't last this time, the consequences will be even more terrifying than the attack of the Gnoll Expeditionary Force!

At least they can escape when they encounter the Gnoll Expeditionary Force.

Now.

You can't even escape!

The Shroud of Death will devour any creature, and the skeletons will hate to kill any living creature.

Once the "Drehem" castle is captured, those undead who have been expanding without the slightest physical limitation and morale fluctuations, and even their minds, will definitely continue to go to the town of "Aaron".

The Sunwaya Mountains are a moat to ordinary creatures.

But for the undead, it is just a rough road, which takes time and can pass through.

Not to mention.

Kant didn't want to run away either.

Why run away?

This is his foundation in the Naron Desert, in this world, and he must never give up!

The long river of time is flowing.

Soon, 7 days passed.

"Drehem" castle is still very busy, but they seem to be aware of the difficulty coming, and everyone's work pace is a bit faster, and strive to complete all preparations before the last moment.

The urn is under construction, and the construction team from Aaron is in charge.

7 days to build a small half.

The heavy stones are mainly in the shape of a semi-circle, just clasping the original city gate.

And in the city walls on both sides of the urn city, 4 towers were built in a mosaic style respectively, which can be used for troops to enter and shoot the enemies inside and outside the urn city at the same time, and the level of firepower output is greatly increased.

If you want to attack the city gate, you must first attack the urn city.

And even if it is to attack the Weng City, the arrow towers and towers of the main body of the city gate, together with the arrow towers of the Weng City itself, are the death line of defense!

The dense rain of arrows will wash the earth like a torrential rain!

And the stubborn resistance of the infantry.

During these seven days, almost all the agriculture and animal husbandry of the entire "Drehem" castle was given up to the military, and 1,000 civilians put down their jobs and entered the infantry training ground to start training.

Just at the end of the week, 1,000 Swadian light infantry were in the castle.

They are all level 3 infantrymen with excellent military literacy.

The kind that can go to the battlefield and kill the enemy in formation!

This is Kant's violent soldiers. The ability of violent soldiers from the system allows his troops to appear a group of soldiers with good equipment level and rich combat experience in almost a short time.

As the war continues, as long as the entire army is not wiped out, the troops will become more and more elite.

Fight for war.

War brings not trauma, but experience.

And gained experience, began to upgrade aggressively, and transformed into a higher-level army!

As for Vicya archers, there are fewer.

Their recruitment is 10 people per week, fixed recruitment, even if there are dinars, there is no way to recruit more. It is impossible to use civilians and dinars as in the castle, infantry training ground, cavalry training ground and crossbowman training ground. Stack up step by step.

What the Vicia range needs are Vicians.

In Kant's castle, all of them are Swadians, and they have an advantage in the recruitment of infantry and cavalry.

In fact it is.

Kant thought so too.

1,000 Swadian light infantry can completely form an independent army. After a few battles, they may be upgraded to Swadian heavy cavalry, and they do not even need to enter the cavalry training ground.

After all, training infantry and cavalry costs many times more dinars than ordinary campaign upgrades!

Dozens may still hold up.

Once the number is in the hundreds, that's hundreds of thousands of dinars spent.

Even the current Kant can't bear it.

Even if the salt trade is on the right track, maintaining the current strength will also cost a lot.

In addition to the cost of trade and procurement, the cost of construction and construction, and various losses, adding up to hundreds of thousands of dinars per week, it cannot be easily wasted.

1000 Swadian light infantry, enough to use.

Upgrading to 1000 Swadian heavy cavalry is also enough to form a heavy cavalry group.

Kant was on guard.

However, on the last day of the month at the end of this month, the desert robbers from the central station arrived quickly and appeared nervously in the Consultative Hall, bringing with them information.

The Central Post saw the arrival of troops from the Principality of Lions.

The number is 1000 people.

And the leader is Baron Dylan of Stone Pass!

In the Consultative Hall, Fatis, Manid and Jocelyn who got the news have come to the hall, as for Kant, he made a decision directly, holding his sword of king, and instructed in a deep voice: "Fatis and I'll go."

"Yes!" Fatis nodded immediately.

Kant turned his head to Manid and Jocelyn and then instructed: "You stay here to watch the house, for this battle plan, I will bring the newly recruited 1,000 Swadian light infantry, as well as all the knights in the castle itself. ."
