Chapter 108. Routine construction work
After the class is upgraded, all of them are in good spirits.
20 Salander riders, 25 elite desert bandits, these people can be considered to have determined the foundation of the light cavalry unit, and recruit some desert bandits in the next few weeks, and the light cavalry unit can be successfully formed.
Small-scale sweeps, raids, and reconnaissance can be completely left to them.
This will undoubtedly avoid the Swadia heavy cavalry, which is the ace, and the meaningless attendance activities.
For those gnolls currently scattered in the Naren Desert, it is sometimes not the wisest choice to use heavy cavalry that can directly crush the enemy's array and can be called invincible in land combat.
On the contrary, it was the light cavalry that was a good hand at solving such problems perfectly.
"Disbanded on the spot and continue to watch the prisoners."
Kant instructed the upgraded Salanders: "Don't let our dinar run away. ”
Naturally, he was referring to the gnolls who were tied hand and foot, squatting with their heads bowed and squatting in the training ground, and the development of the sentry oasis and the improvement of the army relied on the dinar brought back by these gnolls captives.
This is currently a valuable resource for the system to exchange dinars, strategic!
"Understood."
Salander riders and the desert bandit elite returned in a deep voice.
The momentum that belonged to the elite of the regular army and bandits was unmistakable, and after responding neatly, they dispersed as fast as they could, but not too far from the training ground, faintly forming a cage and trapping those gnolls captives in it.
If these captives dare to make trouble, they are stationed at several key points, and the scimitar on their waist is not vegetarian.
Kant nodded: "Not bad." ”
Now 50 Svadian heavy cavalry is his trump card force, the main reliance against other forces, so it is impossible to use them in some small sweeps, and only serve as the base of the sentry oasis.
Kant had already made up his mind.
In the coming time, the light cavalry units formed by these Salanders will be the main force that will take the initiative to strike at the enemy.
The 20-man Desert Bandit recruits per week is a lot.
Class upgrade resolved.
Kant himself was idle.
Many matters were settled by Fatis and Manid, and as a lord, he only had to make the final decision and follow the report.
That's one of the benefits of having and being good at using talent.
Walk towards the city gate.
Kant planned to inspect the agricultural area, after all, these dozen acres of barren land were actually related to the grain reserves in the sentry oasis in the future, and as a lord, he must not relax too optimistically.
What's more, he has just completed the task, and he still has a mission reward.
5 nests of grouse, and 10 nests of desert bees, both of which are related to agriculture.
"Animal husbandry is also starting to develop."
Kant pondered slightly.
Turning the city wall to the east side, many farmers are busy with tools or homemade wooden farming tools, carefully watering and renovating the canals in these barren sandy soils to ensure that the existing 7.5 acres of barley fields and 5 acres of date palm forests can be replenished with water in this hot weather.
When the walls were built, they completely separated the residential area from the agricultural area.
At the same time, the spring water, which was originally used as a source of irrigation, was shrouded in the inside of the city wall, and became the exclusive water source behind the current Consulate, so as to supply the entire fortress with domestic water.
At present, the irrigation of the entire agricultural area is entirely dependent on the small lake that also communicates with the groundwater.
It is not difficult to simply renovate the canal, just dig the channel.
But part of the difficulty is that the land is slightly desertified, and as the canal is flooded into the lake, farmers must patrol and maintain it at all times, otherwise the flowing lake water will cause the soft sand soil to collapse, and the canal will be blocked in many places and lose its irrigation effect.
At present, the peasants have to carry torches to maintain the canals before going to bed at night.
But wait until you wake up the next morning.
The canal that was maintained last night is still soaked and collapsed by the lake, which hinders the flow of the canal, and must continue to be maintained and repaired in the early morning, otherwise the canal will be cut off, but the water content of the land will be affected.
The temperature in the Narun Desert is very high, and the surface temperature can rise to 70°C within half an hour at noon.
Severe evaporation and reduced water content are not good news for date palms and seeds still waiting in wheat fields.
"Remember that after the fort is upgraded, there are related buildings."
Kant swept over the peasants who were busy with their farm tools, and his heart moved slightly.
Thinking is directly connected to the system, and as the dialog box pops up, among the agricultural buildings, there are canals, and as a system building, in terms of damage resistance, it is much stronger than the original canals dug by themselves.
"Build a canal." Kant gave instructions directly to the system.
【Ding... System Prompt]
[The construction of the canal cost 100 dinars and took 3 days.] 】
The system gives a reply.
For Kant, this was equal to small money.
It's just that it takes 3 days to repair a canal, which makes him feel a little longer.
But sweeping the crooked canal, Kant also frowned helplessly, and said in a deep voice: "Sure to build." ”
The buildings produced by the system are completely at the best level.
Based on the current buildings in the Sentry Oasis, the system must be a high-quality product, and on the basis of the standard Swadian architecture, there is also a little trimming of the desert area, making the building more suitable for construction in the desert.
【Ding... System Prompt]
[Since your "Dreham" is currently at the fort level, it will no longer be set at the village level when building, and multiple buildings can be built at the same time without additional construction costs.] 】
A system prompt then appears on Kant's retina.
This is one of the perks of upgrading to a stronghold.
"Very good." Kant nodded and chuckled.
Although the additional construction does not cost many dinars, it can be saved, and his dinars are not much.
Somewhere behind the sand dunes not far away, construction workers arrived in horse-drawn carriages.
The Livingston Rangers, who had noticed it beforehand, reported the situation to the heralds downstairs, and then 10 Salander riders rode over to inspect it, and learned that it was the construction team that built the aqueduct, so they accompanied them.
This time, it was still Su Nuo's construction team.
When he came to Kant's location, he immediately began to build an aqueduct.
"Didn't your leader come?"
Kant asked the construction workers.
He looked around at the men, but the 10 construction workers and 1 carriage carrying wood and stone, and the chubby construction leader he saw so often, made Kant slightly curious.
"My lord, our leader is busy recruiting workers."
A construction worker saluted respectfully and replied, "But he still asks me to pay you the highest respect." ”
"Hmm." Kant nodded, it was really the style of that chubby architectural leader.
Continue to chat with the construction workers.
Kant unexpectedly found that this fat team leader had made a fortune, not only recruiting more people to work as construction workers, but also employing many engineers, contracting many projects in Suno and surrounding villages, like a new construction giant.
According to the workers, even such a large piece of fat as Suno's city wall repair project has been taken by this fat man.
"Tsk." Kant shook his head, this fat man is really a businessman.
The basic channels of the canals have been dug up by farmers.
As a result, the construction workers made it easy to compact the canal with stones so that the lake water flowed on top of the stones that were cut like bricks, without touching the sand.
There are also 20-centimeter paved stone roads on both sides of the canal for farmers to walk on while irrigating their fields.
"That's right."
Kant watched as the canals were being built and the land was finally more irrigated, and he was very satisfied.
However, the yellowish barren sandy land made Kant frown slightly, as if he had thought of something, turned his head and beckoned a few peasants, and arranged: "There is some soil outside the city gate on the east side, pull it all over and scatter it on these wheat fields." ”
"Understood." The peasants nodded, and immediately picked up the rattan baskets and tools and walked to the city gate.
Kant was talking about the seven piles of dirt outside the city walls.
These are the dirt that the Earth Elemental Giants have collapsed and scattered after their bodies have been killed, forming the material to which their own elements belong, which look very fertile, and they are stronger than these sandy lands in any way.
Soon, the peasants returned with rattan baskets on their backs.
There is a lot of fertile soil, which they sprinkle in the wheat fields to fertilize the soil.
"It's enough to arrange these." Kant looked at this scene and nodded.
In the future, you will be able to recruit Earth Elemental Giants every week, and the rather fertile soil obtained after killing them will definitely improve the quality of the land and make the barren land fertile.
In Kant's view, this is ready-made fertile soil.
Continuing onwards, around the half-metre-high wall, Kant came to the junction of the date palm grove and the wheat field.
Ten dromedaries are being kept here.
Due to the shade of the trees, it is neither hot nor cold, and the trough is full of forage made of sage, which is chewed and digested by these camels unhurriedly, and becomes the energy stored in the hump.
Kant walked through it, the branches and leaves of the luxuriant date palm trees blocking out most of the sun.
Even the light was slightly dim, but the temperature was extremely pleasant, comparable to the vicinity of the Consulate Hall shrouded in the sun's disk.
Date palm trees have a role in regulating temperature.
Growing date palm trees in the deserts of the Middle East also bless the growth of other delicate crops.
For example, sugar beets, melons, and chickpeas can all rely on the shade of date palms to grow perfectly, which is also a well-known crop ecology in the desert region of the Middle East, and even this world is worth trying.
"Use cards."
Kantian thinks about communicating minds, and the 3 task rewards that he has just obtained can be used in the shade of these trees.
Sand grouse and desert bees, which are suitable for desert environments, are both good things.
