As the smoke curls in the kitchen, the smell of food begins to permeate.

The ingredients that had been prepared last night were now processed in the kitchen, and the peasant women, who were as strong as men, were more careful, and in taste and texture, they were much stronger than before.

The entire sentry oasis warmly welcomed this.

No one will say no, it's okay.

For example, bread and air-dried meat, which are usually eaten the most, can be turned into beloved delicacies in the hands of these peasant women.

Slice the bread and bake over low heat until golden brown on both sides.

The air-dried meat is torn into strips, and the roasted oil is slightly charred.

After eating this delicious breakfast, I had no problem until noon, especially the light cavalry who went out to patrol the dunes, and every time they would bring a few extra pieces of bread and air-dried meat, if they missed lunch, they could make do with it in the desert.

Including new inventions from the last two days.

The wheat kernels are boiled and unusually fluffy, and crushed dates and sugar cubes are added.

Add 20 eggs and beat them into a slender egg drop, and finally thicken the soup with flour and water.

Sweet egg drop porridge.

Just two days after its launch, this slightly sweet porridge has been a hit with everyone.

There are even unique ways to eat them.

The baked brown and crispy bread is coated with a layer of wheat porridge, and when you bite into it, the slightly sweet soft and glutinous texture is mixed with the crispy texture of the bread, and you chew it vigorously in your mouth to let your tongue absorb the sweetness and burnt aroma, and then take the salty and fragrant air-dried meat that flows after roasting, this feeling is really wonderful.

Even if he is accustomed to the expensive dishes in the Lion Castle, Kant also praised this sweet egg drop porridge.

Of course...

As a lord, Kant's three meals were more abundant.

This is one of the privileges of being a lord and a superior person, and it is normal for people from the continent of Calradia to have a strong sense of class and hierarchy.

As a superior and a vested interest.

Kant certainly wouldn't correct it.

With 10 Swadian infantrymen, Kant made a routine tour of his fortress "Drehem".

It was his early morning job.

But this routine is really routine, usually just patrolling around the perimeter of the fortress, and the civilians and soldiers who come to this world are usually extremely serious, and with that pioneer spirit, they don't slack off at all.

Even the workers of the construction team are quite conscientious.

At least Kant never saw the slightest laziness on the part of his subjects.

The soldiers did not relax at all.

"That's good." Kant looked around, as he always did, and nodded in satisfaction.

Return to the Consulate.

Only to find Manid already waiting in the hall.

Seeing Kant coming, he hurriedly bent down and saluted, and said very solemnly: "Lord Kant, I have successfully completed the task and returned, and have purchased a large number of tools, as well as some food and fur products to keep out the cold at night. ”

"Hmm." Kant nodded, and said in a reassuring tone: "I am relieved that you are doing things." ”

Manid saluted respectfully again: "Thank you for your trust." ”

Kant came to his place, and Manid reported: "This time I went to the Solid Stone Pass, Baron Dylan was still the same, fortunately the salt trade was going well, 20 bags of fine white salt, we made a profit of 1,000 large silver coins, and at the same time I used 100 large silver coins to purchase 500 iron farm implements, and 2 whole carts of wheat." ”

"In the future, we will not be short of farm tools for the time being, do a good job."

Kant nodded in satisfaction.

This morning, when the peasants unloaded the wagons, he had already seen the bundles of farm implements, including hoes, shovels, forks, and logging axes, all of which were made of iron, and the price was much higher in the iron-deficient North County.

But the sentry oasis is useful, after all, the peasants are mostly refugees, and they don't take much with them when they flee.

Manid went on to recount what he had seen as he traveled to the Solid Rock Pass.

Kant also interjected and asked, "I don't see feather arrows or crossbow arrows in the carriage. After a pause, Kant narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a mocking tone: "Didn't my Uncle Dylan agree to this little request I mentioned to him in the letter?" ”

"Yes, he vetoed the idea of procuring large quantities of feathered arrows and crossbow arrows."

Manid shrugged his shoulders and said: "Actually, the procurement process of these farm tools is a bit difficult, this baron's meaning is very subtle, if it weren't for me stuffing an extra 10 big silver coins into the merchant who provided the farm tools as a kickback, it would be impossible to buy so many farm tools, after all, you know, if you melt these farm tools, you can completely make them into weapons." ”

"Like the shoddy products used by the conscripted peasants at the Solid Stone Pass?" Kant couldn't help but sneer: "Just kidding. ”

Set against the backdrop of the continent of Calradia.

It has the upgrade system of the entire Svadia Kingdom, with the support of 4 other countries.

Would Kant have needed these inferior weapons?

It's simply impossible!

But what kind of calculation this Baron Dylan made, Kant really knew it clearly, and he was simply afraid that after the Sentry Oasis obtained so many farm tools, they would be smelted into weapons, which might have a partial impact on his plans in the future.

Kant's proposal to purchase large quantities of feathered arrows and crossbow arrows was probably rejected for this reason.

"But I think maybe we'll be able to procure these supplies in the future."

Manid shrugged his shoulders, his tone calm: "At present, we do not have the least trust. ”

"Trust?" The corners of Kant's mouth curled slightly: "With those guys, this thing never exists." ”

"But it has to be." Manid added.

Shaking his head slightly, Manid continued: "Profit is the best basis for guaranteeing trust, and trust was born when we made this Baron Dylan more and more dependent on the benefits of the salt trade. ”

Kant shook his head and chuckled: "I guess when the time comes, it's time to attack us." ”

This is true, and it is also in line with his understanding of Baron Dylan.

Both he and Manid couldn't help but laugh at this.

If he really did it, then the Baron Dylan would understand how vulnerable an army without logistical supplies was in the Naren Desert, and it would collapse into a pile of yellow sand, the most common in the desert, in just a few days.

The 7-meter-high city wall has nearly 600 soldiers and civilians.

It's easy to hold this fortress.

Humans are not gnolls, they can withstand hunger, thirst and heat, and the conquest of the sentry oasis by the Duchy of Lion 10 years ago has also proved this, if you really want to force an offensive, the 2,000-strong troops, without tens of thousands of logistical supplies, and even the low-level gnolls who have no armor and weapons, and only know how to charge in a mess, cannot take it.

The harsh natural environment made the original Lion Principality not last too long.

In less than a month, he retreated from the Sentry Oasis and withdrew from the Naryn Desert, instead canonizing Dylan the Solid Stone Pass, which was then a logistics supply center, and promoted him to the rank of baron, responsible for guarding this important pass.

"I've taken a break lately."

Kant arranged for Manid: "Continue to go to the Solid Stone Pass at the end of the month, and I will let you bring more fine white salt at that time, after all, it is only 20 bags, and even those nobles and knights in the northern county are not satisfied." ”

Manid nodded, "Understood." However, he still advised Kant: "My lord, we must increase the scale of trade, especially at present, our three carriages are not enough to carry too many goods, although this trade is profitable enough, but we want to buy some supplies back, it seems too little." ”

"That's the question." Kant frowned, and instructed his most trusted merchant: "You are in charge of handling it, buy some carriages and horses, and be able to transport the purchased materials back." ”

"Okay." Manid nodded.

But Kant pondered slightly, and of course he understood that relying solely on carriages and pulling horses was not the best solution.

The soft desert is not suitable for this kind of plains vehicle.

When Kant and the carriage came to the sentry oasis, they encountered some impassable sand dunes, and they had to ask the peasants to push the wooden wheels, otherwise the soft desert would not be able to bear the strength at all, and even if the horses were shivering, they would not be able to pull up the wagon full of goods.

The best solution, of course, is to form a camel caravan.

The history of the Earth has proven that caravans of dromedaries are more than capable of serving as vehicles for crossing deserts.

It's just that Kant had only 10 dromedary camels.

Compared to the scale of hundreds of camels in a team, or even thousands of camels forming a camel city, it is simply pitiful, which is why Kant did not use these 10 camels as trade vehicles.

The cargo that 10 camels can carry is too little.

Compared to the carriage, the disadvantage is here.

"Stabilize the sentry oasis first."

Kant shook his head and did not continue to think about the question.

Dromedaries do not exist in this world, and Kant has not seen them in any books or travelogues in this world.

This means that if you want to form a camel team, there is no way to do it except rely on the system.

But if given the chance, Kant would definitely form a camel caravan.

With this caravan forming a convoy, perhaps crossing the cruel devil's zone of the jackal's population is not too much of a problem, and as for the coast of Mannheim, which can only be reached in 30 days, there is also a chance to extend the tentacles.

There was a bit of coldness in Kant's eyes: "The most important thing is those gnolls in the Graymane Kingdom." ”

Victory, he will receive a new qualification.

That is to set foot in a new world, the world north of the Naren Desert!

PS: There are 3 more at night! Today I will say 5 more, 5 more! And the problem of water, sorry, it was too hot before, and the code word couldn't sink down at all, as we all know, the hot head is dizzy, and I can't concentrate on what I want to write. I'm going to speed things up now, I'm sorry. If you can, I still hope you can help order it all, although the water that was written recently, cough cough, everyone can help... It doesn't cost a penny, thank you very much!
