Lord of the Oasis

Stone Pass, inside the lord's mansion.

In the narrow passages and corridors, Swadian infantrymen in chain armor have completely occupied the place, armed with standard-made military spears, lined up in teams to form patrols or sentries in the mansion.

In this short half-month period, the Stone Pass has completely become Kant's territory.

The first local site.

Although it is impossible to build buildings and recruit troops, it has great strategic significance.

This solid stone pass is equivalent to Kant's Hulao Pass, which guards the sky, and can attack and retreat.

With the current powerful cavalry units, he can carry out tactical attacks.

The plain area of ​​North County Territory is like a beautiful woman with an open heart.

Even the South County and East County leaders are similar.

The flat plain stretches as far as the eye can see, and occasionally there are farmlands reclaimed along lakes, streams, and rivers, including the radioactive knight collars that surround the castle, that is, villages.

The political system of the Principality of Lions leads to the fact that people's livelihood is also dependent on the military.

Villages are around castles or cities.

The villages are also the domain of the knights, the backbone responsible for defending the castle or city.

Sometimes, there are no knights in the knight territory, only the village chief, the financial officer and the sheriff are there to help the knight to manage the village, and to pay the tax that should be paid every month for the knight master's daily expenses.

This resulted in insufficient military strength in the village.

On weekdays, there are only about 30 armed militias stationed, and the sheriff is in charge of the command.

But the duty is not to destroy the robbers around, but to maintain the rule of the knight, and by the way, when the financial officer starts to collect taxes, he will clean up those rebels who dare to resist the tax, or hunt down the fugitive slaves of Sayazi.

As for the arrival of a band of robbers, it is to take part of the finances safely and pray that the well water will not violate the river water.

Of course the robbers also understand the strength behind the village.

All have tacit agreement.

The robber took the ration and food and left.

Or ask the villagers if there are caravans passing by, and then use the village to hide and rob the fat and oily caravans. If you encounter the caravans owned by the rival nobles of the nobles behind the gang of robbers, you can make a fortune.

The caravans of the hostile nobles can directly kill without showing mercy.

All the silver coins that were stolen belong to him.

And those goods will also be handled by special personnel.

Even these villagers can give them some silver coins as a reward for providing information.

Therefore, the entire Principality of Lions, including the villages at the grassroots level, is in a strange state of stocking, which is also a drawback of the feudal era.

After all, my lord's lord is not my lord, and my vassal's vassal is not my vassal.

That's what it means.

No one cares about outside the territory.

In addition, in recent years, the royal authority of the Principality of the Lion has been suppressed, and the authority of Cameron, the Duke of the Lion, has been compressed to the territory of Nanjun, and the security of the entire country has fallen into this complex environment.

This is why there are so many robber gangs in the Principality of Lions.

Complex environments naturally lead to chaos as well.

Correspondingly, Rolfe's penetration of the Principality of Lions is like a duck in water.

Just like a fish in water.

There is no hindrance at all in the penetration process.

From the Stone Pass to Fort Roger, the highest in the North County Territory, and then descend westward along the Lion Mountains on the south side to reach Marsburg where Viscount Kevin is located, and then turn north along the Death Mountain in the East County Territory.

This is the triangle and the route with the most caravans in the salt trade.

But Rolfe still went back and forth smoothly.

According to his words.

It's like taking the troops in a military parade!

On the way, I defeated a few gangs of robbers who wanted to investigate their details, and basically spread the illustrious name, not to mention that other gangs did not continue to attack them.

Even the nobles' troops did not forcibly intercept them.

Rolfe was not leading a heavy cavalry force mainly composed of Mamluks and Salander riders.

Just 500 desert robbers.

Come and go like the wind.

With extremely high discipline and the toughness cultivated in the desert, the hostile gangs of robbers they fought were completely ignorant, and even during the night raids, the hostile gangs of robbers could only helplessly send people to make peace.

Compared with the desert robbers, the robbers in the Sarand desert, the robbers of the Principality of Lions are still a bit worse.

They are not real gangsters.

In other words, there is no gangster that runs if you get it, and continues to run if you don't get it. It won't fight you head-on at all, and it will only go around giving you a hyena-like concept.

If I win, I make a profit, and if I don't, I don't lose.

What they do is a no-cost deal with knives.

Just so crisp.

And in this half-month infiltration, Rolfe was not simply looting the caravan, it was just a pretense.

The most important thing is that he finally groped through most of the maps of North County Territory. As long as the troops set out next, they could follow the map provided by Rolfe, and cooperate with Kant's memory in this life to clear the game.

For example, at the current Stone Pass, with Kant announcing his occupation, no one dared to approach it.

Desert robbers scattered out are not good stubble.

In addition, the group of Salander riders were completely elite assault cavalry, their abilities could be compared to ordinary knights, or they could be regarded as top knight squires, and ordinary troops were no match.

What's more, those gangs of robbers were easily defeated one after another.

The surrounding area of ​​the Stone Pass has been impregnated by the water run by Kant.

Among them, just like Kant's previous policy of reducing and exempting taxes without hesitation, and taking the initiative to support small landlords and small businessmen, as well as local civilians, any matter, big or small, will soon spread to his ears.

These people spontaneously became supporters of Kant.

Lord's Mansion.

hall.

Kant was sitting in his seat reviewing documents.

These documents are reports from the castle "Drehem" and the city of "Aaron".

Within half a month, the castle and sent people to reopen the salt mine in the north, and continued to station troops at the salt mine post station, and arranged for new slaves to go there and continue to mine coarse salt.

The city of the Sanwaya Mountains is still under construction.

The summit is well filled with buildings.

On both sides of the river at the foot of the mountain, the relatively gentle slopes have also been opened up into fields.

The high-quality wheat grains are turned into refined white flour in the water-powered mill, combined with the bacon made after hunting, and the smoked fish obtained after fishing, which has become the basis for urban residents to let go of the belly and eat.

And it was also supplied to the castle "Drehem".

At present, the civilian population of Kant has exceeded 20,000.

This is not even considering the soldier's situation.

The civilian population in "Drehem" castle was reduced to 3,000.

However, the population of the city of "Aaron" has directly reached 15,000 people, and the dense population has even formed radiation. It has been slightly reclaimed up and down the hills around the top of the mountain.

A large number of terraces are under construction, although they have not yet been put into use, there are many more outlines.

It will be successfully planted and harvested next year.

The irrigation channels have been excavated, and the towers, water canals and water trucks used to raise irrigation can be constructed, and the terraced fields that have been reclaimed can be irrigated from top to bottom.

Kant has arranged a mysterious spring on the top of the mountain.

Therefore, as long as there are towers and canals similar to Rome, irrigation can be satisfied.

Communication with the Water Elemental Plane and the steady stream of fresh water are the elements that agriculture desperately needs. If it is only based on that small river, it may be very difficult to reclaim terraced fields and build a complete irrigation network of high towers.

But even so, with systematic construction and the efforts of civilians, everything is getting better.

The second base is also more and more prosperous.

It's also about geography.

The Sangwaya Mountains are huge mountains that span far and wide.

However, the city of "Aaron", which is on the pulse of the outside world, has not yet fully penetrated into the interior of the Sunwaya Mountains. In addition to good road traffic, it can contact the Nalen Desert in time, so it is not afraid of being blocked.

The Stone Pass is in the hands of Kant again, and the possibility of being blocked in the end is minimized.

Three o'clock on the line.

Now the layout of the Narun Desert is exactly like this.

From north to south.

It is completely the Salt Mine Station, the "Drehem" Castle, the Central Station and the Stone Pass, and then the Yamaguchi Station and the city of "Aaron", which form a complete line of communication.

A steady stream of materials passes through this line, sharing and complementing each other.

As Kant originally designed.

Very reasonable.

Kant was also satisfied with this.

Looking at the above report, the document is basically a summary of the current construction.

Since the solid stone pass was completely mastered, the defensive effect of the central station has been much worse. It is not that it is not as important as it was at the beginning, but the caravans and spies from the outside world have been unable to continue to penetrate into the desert of Nalen.

The Stone Pass has blocked most of the caravans.

If you keep going in.

Wouldn't that be spies and spies!

At that time, as long as you strangle this group of scheming guys in the Naron desert.

The desert robbers cooperated with the Salander riders, as well as the elite Mamluks, ordinary spies and spies, or the robbers who took a detour into the Naron Desert in an attempt to make a fortune, all died tragically.

No one can escape the people who came out of the Sarand desert, and their experience in the desert is equal to full value.

But right now.

The desert robbers are still good at scouting out on the plains.

Kant put down the file.

All things settled.

His plans are still going on.

For example, the chess pieces that were thrown out at the beginning, Kant intends to go over and see for himself this time.

Borg, the leader of the bankrupt family in East County, took the big silver coins that Kant gave him to revive the family, and also used the 10 Salander riders that Kant temporarily handed over to him, and he was very happy on the Reisniston River. water up.

Even in the Stone Pass of North County Territory, Kant had heard of this young businessman with a great reputation.

But Borg has yet to send someone to contact him.

Kant was amused by this.

"It's better to go and see for yourself."

He has already made this plan, and the preparation work has been completed.

Kant personally led the team, with 10 lion knights as guards, 50 Sarion lion attendants, and 500 upgraded desert robbers led by Rolfe.

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy will never be lost in a hundred battles, not to mention the mysterious passage in the Risniston River in East County.

The passage connecting the underground river.

if possible.

Kant intends to rebuild a new village there.

And put the [Water Bandit's Nest] there to form a central force that controls the river.

Once mastered this commercially developed river, then Kant's forces can start to spread along the Resniston River at any time, whether it is entering the South County Territory in the hinterland of the Principality of Lions, or intervening in the Kingdom of Silver Plate.

It's all very easy!

Money is always the way to go.

How could Kant, who mastered the salt trade and the commercial river, be short of money?

Kant likes nibbling rather than swallowing. Just now, the Principality of Lions has been infiltrated by Kant's tentacles. Looking at the North County Territory, which has been infiltrated successfully, it is estimated that Kant's status is second only to Viscount Wayne.

If you pay attention to military strength, Kant, who has a heavy cavalry group, is not weaker than Viscount Wayne!

At the level of the viscount, he already has extraordinary power.

Although it is still weak in Kant's view.

But when he hadn't fully swallowed the whale, he could swallow it all without leaving any trace, and he was still willing to use the meticulousness of nibbling to slowly take the lion principality into his own hands.

As for the nominal, ostensible crown, it does nothing to Kant.

The uncrowned king is enough.

Riding and chopping is his root!

The troops set off quietly, just like when Rolf infiltrated, as quietly as the wind.

The Stone Pass continues to be taken care of by Fatis, and is suppressed by the troops stationed here. Even if the entire pass is currently filled with spies and spies, they will not be able to gain the upper hand in the face of absolute force.

The local residents have long been bought by Kant's money offensive, and it can be said that they are extremely grateful.

Betrayal is impossible.

Except for those vassal knights who want to go further.

But even the vassal knights who nominally took refuge in Kant did not get critical reuse.

Even when leading troops out to deal with demonized creatures or low-level gnolls that they encounter on a daily basis, the troops are a mix of Swadian infantry and the original pikemen of Stone Pass.

Although nominally commanded by vassal knights, the Swadian infantry, as a middle-level commander, can refute it.

It also means having the same command.

Equal to empty.

If Kant or Phatis completely deprived these vassal knights of their command, then these knights and gentlemen would not be able to take any soldiers. After all, the current Swadian infantrymen are all the same as the pikemen of the Stone Pass. They formed a good friendship.

Comparatively speaking, the high-level attitude of those knights and their ignorance of the lower-level infantry would not make the Anrest Pikemen truly loyal.

Allegiance to those who give money, and allegiance to those who are good to them.

The pikemen of Stone Pass are no fools.

This is where the advantage of cannibalization lies.

The light cavalry troop set off quickly and disappeared on the flat field, targeting the East County Territory, a land that had been closed for a long time. ()
