This is Kant's domain.

Although it was nominally, it was gradually controlled by him in his own hands.

Walking slowly, Kant came to the top of the hill, and in front of him was a vast sea of sand, the continuous sand dunes echoed the hills at his feet in the distance, but the scorching breath from the desert was blowing in the breeze.

In this breeze, there is a cruel confession of civilization.

No civilization can conquer this desert.

Even if the gnolls who are gifted with patience are also the lost dogs that have been driven into the desert by humans, they can't return to the Northern County Territory, which is relatively prosperous for them, even if they take advantage of the war between the Lion Principality and the Silver Plate Principality, they can't take care of them, so they migrate and invade the Northern County on a large scale, and the final result is like a slaughter of corpses all over the wilderness.

The brutal slaughter of ten years ago, even from the Northern Commandery of the Lion Principality to the Sentry Oasis of the Narun Desert, hundreds of low-level gnolls tribes were slaughtered, and the remnants were killed in horror.

It can be seen from Kant's arrival.

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

If it was still the beginning.

Hundreds of tribes of gnolls, close to the number of tens of thousands.

It is estimated that even if Kant is canonized as a sentry oasis and the baron who leads the Narun Desert, he will not dare to take office easily, after all, after the crowd tactics have reached their peak, even if they have a quality advantage, they can't do it!

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

"It's embarrassing."

Kant sighed lightly, because now it is different.

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

Not only is there a large number of elite soldiers in terms of quality, but also on the only large water source in the southern part of the Narun Desert, the sentry oasis, a towering and well-defended military castle has been established.

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

Ponder for a moment at the top of the mountain.

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

On the paved stone path under the hill, 103 top Swadian knights were accompanying them, holding cone-headed guns, lined up in a formation ready to set off at any time, quietly waiting for Kant to continue his departure.

Indeed, he will not wait long here.

This pass is important.

Kant also wanted to make some arrangements here.

A little muttering, Kant's system of thinking and communication.

A card that was still floating in my mind shattered.

At the top of the hill beside him, the fluctuations of the void spread, and a small two-story building built of neat stone and wood appeared on it, the foundation was firmly laid, and the walls were spliced with solid wood.

Even the roofs of the top floors are deliberately left with vents that can be closed at any time.

This building is a post station.

The desert bandits' eyes widened in astonishment from behind.

"For you."

Kant turned his head and said to them, "It is much better to live in this inn in the future than in a temporary tent." After a pause, Kant also advised: "However, the task of guarding the mountain pass must not be slackened, and we must remain vigilant." ”

"Understood, thank you for your kindness, my lord!"

The desert bandits immediately bowed respectfully.

Compared to a makeshift tent made of linen, it was obviously more comfortable as a post station for construction.

The same as the post station established by Kant at the top of the underground lake, the top of this post station also has a watchtower more than 5 meters high, which allows people to climb up to observe the surrounding situation, facing the unobstructed sand sea outside, and if the view is good, the target can be anomalous from a distance of more than 1,000 meters.

It can be counted as the most important important building for these desert bandits stationed in this mountain pass, which integrates guarding, monitoring, reconnaissance or response.

If Kant has enough troops in the future.

It can also form a transportation network with the central post station, which is not inferior to the convenient waterway.

"So be it."

Kant walked into the post station to check.

The house was full of tithes, and there were a lot of grains and bacon piled up in the storeroom.

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

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

But this pass station doesn't need to be manned by too many people.

The biggest role of this mountain pass post station is to serve as an outpost of the town of "Aaron".

On weekdays, there is naturally a delivery of supplies from the town.

As for drinking water, it's even simpler.

Kant stepped down the hill and came to the desert area beyond the hill.

The original stone and stone paved road leads to the pass next to the hill, even if it is a river channel built by Kant, and the channel about 5 meters wide is cut off parallel to the paved road just a little inside the pass, and the flowing river overflows to form a natural stream that flows into the sand layer outside the pass.

As early as a few days ago, the original small river had washed the edge of the desert with indirect and continuous water sources, forming a pit seven or eight meters long and wide, and half a meter deep, and the sparkling waters became small lakes.

Even the erosion of the creek brought soil from the Sanwaya Mountains.

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

The vegetation in the desert grows very quickly as long as there is water, and looking at the verdant appearance, it is estimated that it will not take a few months to form another small oasis at the location of this mountain pass.

It's a small oasis made by man.

When Kant saw this greenery, he also loved it a little more.

He turned to the five desert robbers stationed here and said, "If you are okay on weekdays, go to the mountains and dig some mud and cover the puddles around them, which will also make these vegetation grow more lush." ”

"Understood." The desert bandits nodded.

It's not a big deal.

What's more, it was Kant who told them to do it with their hearts.

"Let's go."

Seeing that there was nothing to do here, Kant turned over and got back on his horse.

The 103 Swadian knights behind him immediately swarmed around, and Kant tapped the horse's belly, shook the reins vigorously, and took the lead in galloping in front of the horse, and the originally hard paved 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 popping sound of the horses' hooves stepping heavily on the sand, including the dust raised behind the horses, which was not real for a while, just like a heavy cavalry team of hundreds of people galloping in the desert, the momentum was strong and majestic, which made people tremble.

In the face of the gallop of cavalry, no army can maintain a balance of mentality.

But no one can see it yet.

The path chosen by Kant was to march behind the hidden sand dunes.

This is a path specially chosen so that the spy caravan that appears in the Solid Stone Pass is a long detour, but it can prevent people from reaching the towns in the Sanwaya Mountains.

This is Kant's hole card and shadow.

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

Of course, those spy caravans usually went north, in the direction of the sentry oasis, and no one could have imagined that Kant had established another town in the deep mountains of the Sanwaya Mountains in the southwest, and could produce a large number of materials that were urgently needed in the Naryn Desert.

This is a means for Kant to get rid of those nobles in the Lion Principality and carry out material blockades and restrictions, which will definitely make those nobles who think they can control Kant's lifeline gnash their teeth.

Traditionally, the Narun Desert is a forbidden area of uninhabited civilization.

This is indeed the case.

But it was different after Kant's arrival.

With the discovery of salt mines, it was even different.

The profits from the salt allowed the nobles to endure terrible losses, send mercenaries and slaves to mine the salt, and after transporting it, it became the finest refined salt and sold to the countries of the entire continent.

It's a lot of money, but it's worth the price!

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

It's all the greed of expensive salt, or the equivalent of silver coins!

Now, in the depths of the desert, a few steps away, salt mines have been discovered.

What about the loss of point slaves and mercenaries?

For those nobles, the last thing they lack is people, and the most important thing they lack is outlaws who are willing to give their lives for the silver coins in their hands.

And they sit high at the top, just eating human blood steamed buns and making a fortune.

The only difference, of course.

In the hands of these nobles, there was no blood, only mercenary papers.

Some are desperate outlaws, or greedy mercenaries, and businessmen who want to speculate, become partners of these mercenary documents, and use their lives to give the nobles a bloody path, even if they pay for their own lives, because the attraction of silver coins is endless!

After a half-day trek, Kant arrived at the central post station at dusk, but in the light of the dusk, Kant squinted slightly, because he found something unusual.

Right next to the post station, a large number of merchants and carriages gathered, seeming to denounce it.

Inside the inn, 10 Swadian militiamen were standing at the top with crossbows.

Just outside the inn, 120 Salander riders lined up, with Rolf standing in front, and behind them, 220 desert bandits, restlessly raising spears and scimitars, with hideous expressions.

There was a lot of noise, and it seemed that the two sides were about to clash.

"Let's take a look."

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

The dull sound resounded across the gentle desert plain, waking up two waves of troops in the distance who were still confronting each other.

Compared with Rolf's surprise, the team formed by those merchants was much more panicked, especially the caravan guards with weapons on the periphery, who showed jealous and panicked eyes.

Because of the comers, it's hundreds of hoplites!
