Time flies, 3 weeks pass quickly.

It's the end of the month.

The sentry oasis is still busy, but it is full of energy.

The civilians are busy working in the agricultural and livestock areas on the north side, and no one can be idle, but no one complains about these days, but they all have happy smiles on their faces, full of love for building their homes.

They are very motivated.

At the celebration banquet, Lord Kant, the lord of this place, made a promise.

"Drehem" will not treat any of its citizens badly!

This sentence was uttered by the lord himself, and it was absolutely authoritative, and these civilians who had suffered enough of exploitation and war in the continent of Calradia expressed absolute applause for it.

So they all work seriously as a sentry oasis as their home.

What's more, it's a place of miracles.

Lord Kant's reputation spread even more in the continent of Calradia, and under the praise of the bards, they all knew that this was a young, benevolent, and philosophical lord, even the nobles would be in awe when they heard this name, so they would never deceive them ordinary commoners.

And when they came here, they also perceived Kant's benevolence.

Because in terms of the poll tax, these civilians only need to pay 1 dinar per week.

On weekdays, I take care of eating, drinking, and accommodation.

In Calradia, the greedy nobles who have to break their bones and suck the marrow of their bones will not care about the lives of the civilians under their territory, they only know how to levy taxes and levy taxes, and then expand their armies to build stronger troops, plunder other lords, or answer the king's call to attack the territories of other kingdoms.

"May God bless Lord Kant."

Thinking of this, the civilians who were still busy with farm work prayed in their hearts.

It's rare to find such a good lord.

At this time.

Kant was walking in the attic of the city walls.

Inside, the Vigia marksmen scattered in the city walls and arrow towers came to Kant respectfully, bent down and saluted him, without the slightest shelf of level 5 troops, and were extremely flattering to Kant.

"Did you find anything out of the ordinary?"

Come to the top of the arrow tower in the northeast corner.

Kant stood inside the 10-meter-high arrow tower, looking out over the rolling sand dunes to the north.

The sharpshooter behind him replied, "No, my lord, everything is fine. ”

"Good."

Kant nodded, and at the same time admonished, "Keep an eye on me." ”

"Yes." The marksman replied.

Although they had routed the expeditionary force of the Greymane Kingdom and sold all their captives into slavery, essentially annihilating all the people from the Mannheim coast, they were still vigilant.

God knows if those high-ranking gnolls will continue to send people over.

After all, the Greymane Kingdom on the coast of Mannheim is an independent kingdom power, and it is easy to send people over to inquire about the results of the expeditionary force.

And the most crucial point.

Manid, 30 dromedary camels, and a caravan of 20 desert robbers have gone deep into the Narun Desert to collect coarse salt from the natural salt mines, and it has been 3 days since the calculation, and it is estimated that they will be back soon.

Dromedaries are no less fast in the desert than desert horses.

Kant spent 20,000 dinars to buy the other 20 dromedary camels, which were no different from the previous 10, they were all desert boats, elves who could walk briskly among the sand dunes.

And the ability to carry goods is even better.

"There is a situation."

Kant just wanted to get off the arrow tower.

At the same time, the Virgian marksman, who was looking into the distance, found something in his sharp eyes, and after careful identification, immediately reported: "Due north, Monsieur Manid's caravan has returned!" ”

"Huh?" Kant also turned his head to look.

Beyond the lush 30 acres of date palm forest, the end of the eye is still the vast sea of sand.

Frowning slightly.

Kant naturally knew that it was impossible for these Virgian marksmen to deceive themselves.

Waited a moment.

Finally, at the end of the line of sight due north, small black dots appeared in the eyes, although they still couldn't see it really, but Kant still smiled at the corner of his mouth and praised: "Well done." ”

Virgian's vision is much better than his.

Leave the Arrow Tower.

Kant quickened himself to inspect the city walls.

In fact, there was no need to make patrols, and the soldiers were very conscientious.

It was not so much a patrol of the city walls as Kant was venting his energy, after all, since the end of the siege of the city at the beginning of the week, with the various constructions arranged in the fortress, the sentry oasis has returned to peace, and as a lord, he has nothing to deal with.

All you can do every day is to walk around and see your new territory.

That's all there is to change.

After three weeks, Kant was already a little bored.

Although the previous days were a little tense and a little depressed, they were still quite full, and now they are suddenly relaxed, which makes him a little uncomfortable.

After inspecting the walls, Kant walked down the stairs.

The three Swadia sergeants who followed behind him were following with their burly bodies.

This is his bodyguard.

"Good morning, Lord Kant."

"Greetings, honorable lord."

"Good morning, my lord."

The civilians on the streets greeted Kant eagerly.

"Okay." Kant nodded in return.

As a nobleman, he deserves this respect, after all, he is still the lord of this place, if in the continent of Calradia, these commoners encounter the lord's disrespectful greetings, they will be rewarded by the lord according to their own temper, or they will be directly arrested and thrown into a prison cell, and a ransom enough to be squeezed out of bankruptcy.

It's just that Kant scoffed at this, a group of lords who had been impoverished and mad because of the war.

Walk along the streets.

A slight sweet smell is permeating, and it is a sugar factory boiling date honey candy.

The attentive peasant women, as well as the citizens who knew how to measure, were able to boil sugar on a large scale, cut it into thumb-sized pieces, put them in rattan baskets, and put them in a relatively cool underground storage room to prevent them from being exposed to the heat.

In the storeroom of the Consulate now, there are 20 baskets of date sugar, all of which were boiled during this time.

Wait for Manid's caravan to bring back the coarse salt.

All of them are processed into expensive fine white salt in the salt factory, which is then transported together to the Jianshi Pass.

The Lion Principality is not only short of salt, but also of sugar.

These coarse date honey sugars are also precious sugars.

Moreover, the sweetness is more intense and prominent than that of simple honey, and it will definitely become another cooperative business with Jianshi Pass like these salts, and the amount of trade will be greater.

Of course, if Kant wants to expand trade, the more than 3,000 sets of gnoll chain mail and two-handed battle axes captured can be sold at sky-high prices at the Solid Stone Pass, and even Baron Dylan can't eat it, and he needs the entire northern county of the Duchy of Lion, or the southern county directly under the king, to eat it whole.

After all, according to the proportions of the size of the gnolls.

A set of chain mail can be cut into two sets suitable for humans, and a two-handed battle axe can be smelted and recrafted, and at least 4 long swords can be made.

That's a great strategic resource!

It was impossible for Kant to sell rashly and arouse the suspicion of the Duchy of Lion.

The "motherland" that he was close to did not need to cross the devil's zone and trek for more than 30 days in the desert to reach the southern part of the Naren Desert, and if those greedy nobles wanted to, they could appear outside the walls of "Drehem" in a week.

Although his elite troops can ensure that they are not afraid of the threat of these nobles.

But it will also disturb the development of "Drehem".

Now the building that has been promoted is in full swing, and the construction workers of Sunolai are responsible for the construction, and the barracks, which took the most time, can be completed on the last day of the month.

At that time, it will be the time when "Drehem" will be officially upgraded to a castle.

Before that, he planned to personally lead the team to the Solid Stone Pass, continue to communicate with his uncle of Baron Dylan, explore the road by the way, familiarize himself with the terrain in the Sanwaya Mountains, and plan to establish a village in some hidden place.

This is his main purpose.

He had conceived that even if there were no villages, he would want to build a lumber yard in the Sanwaya Mountains.

Especially the expeditionary force that defeated the Greymane Kingdom.

Kant completely brought natural salt mines under his control, and increasing the production of fine white salt was also on the agenda.

This will also consume a lot of firewood, and the daily cooking on the fire, as well as the sugar mill to boil sugar, all need firewood as fuel, relying solely on those previously cut date palm trees, obviously not enough.

The establishment of new villages will alleviate this problem.

Although I don't know which country's village it will randomly go to.

But in his mind, Kant had already positioned this village, which was intended to be built in the Sanwaya Mountains, as a lumberyard and a slave catcher.

Provide a large amount of high-quality charcoal for the sentry oasis.

As well as for Kant, providing a large number of inferior gnolls.

After all, in this mountain range that separates the Narun Desert and the Lion Principality, I don't know how many small groups of low-level gnolls thrive in it, and if it is true, there are more than the gnolls tribes in the Narun Desert.

After all, although the mountains are barren, they are obviously easier to live in than the desert!

Return to the Consulate.

Kant didn't have to wait long, and Manid and his caravan rushed back.

After arranging the tasks of the salt workshop, Manid took off his linen robe, sorted out his appearance, and made sure that there were no rudenesses, and then hurried into the hall.

"Lord Kant, I'm back."

Manid first bowed down and greeted Kant.

"Well done." Kant smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down, drink some water and eat something first." ”

"Thank you very much."

Manid continued to respectfully stroke his chest in thanks.

The peasant woman who had prepared the food next to her brought it and placed it in front of Manid.

Freshly baked slices of bread.

and sweet wheat porridge, as well as fresh fried lamb and omelette.

Quite hearty food.

Manide, who was already hungry, did not hesitate, he was familiar with Kant's character, and after continuing to thank him, he quickly devoured it, but also ensured the most basic etiquette in front of Kant, the lord.

After eating quickly, he wiped the corners of his mouth and apologized to Kant, "I hope there is no rudeness, my lord." ”

PS: The second update, it's a little late, and it's not updated. Tomorrow, well, it should be said that there will be a change during the day. If it is not surprising, it will continue to be five watches, thank you for your support!
