Chapter 313. Kant's Harvest
The nobles of the Lion Principality are greedily spying on Kant.
And why wasn't Kant plotting against them?
The Narun Desert is really barren, even if there is systematic help, Kant has to use all his military force, focusing on military politics to ensure his own strength and control in the place.
But even so, the foundation for the development of the Naren Desert is here.
Even the future of the development of the Sanwaya Mountains is not too high.
In terms of environment, barren deserts and complex mountains can never compare with fertile plains, which is an eternal truth, and it is the difference between advantages and disadvantages brought by the environment.
Now, Kant has taken the first step in his own quest for the Duchy of Lion.
The Northern Commanders are not wealthy.
It can be said that it is the most barren county of the Duchy of Lion.
But it's still much better than the Naren Desert, not to mention that Kant's goal is also to use the Northern County Territory as a springboard to extend his power to the Southern County Territory or the Eastern County Territory.
With more troops, he will be able to dominate the whole country.
Strength is the truth.
What's more, Kant's bloodline also has the bloodline of the Principality of Lion, in fact, he is the second in line to the heir of Grand Duke Cameron!
It's just that due to the political factors of his ancestors, he was excluded.
If you fight for the title of Grand Duke.
Kant is fully qualified for this!
Led by Fatis, 10 Lion Knights, 100 Swadia Knights, and 500 Svadian Infantry who have been promoted to Level 4, they are fully able to take root in the Solid Stone Pass, ensuring their own safety, and still holding the place firmly in the palm of their hands, without fear of the backlog of other forces.
After all, he is an extraordinary knight, a knight who can run rampant in the Duchy of Lion and accept many aristocratic courtesies, even if he meets the royal family, in front of the Grand Duke Cameron, he can maintain his demeanor and receive grand etiquette.
This is the prerogative of the strong.
And the strength of a country has a one-sided measure of strength, and the same is the number of these extraordinary knights!
Don't talk about this mere solid stone pass.
Even in the entire Northern County Territory, on the surface, the number of extraordinary knights recorded in the official is only 10.
Now there are 10 people here, and they are all great knights who are united and completely unified with extraordinary divine power, how can they not be able to deter this place, how can they not control this solid stone pass?
Of course you can control it!
This is precisely Kant's confidence!
Fatis led the team away.
The Central Station returned to its former silence.
Salander's riders were watching over the 724 captives, all gathered in the corners of the inn, squatting on the sand, their faces full of defeat, and the panic and despair in their eyes could not be concealed.
They all saw that Baron Dylan was taken away by those elite knights.
And the actual commander of his own.
That is, the 2 big knights from the East County Territory were left here alone, including the 30 vassal knights of Baron Dylan, and none of them returned with the returning troops, and they were all firmly guarded on the post station.
If they could, they would have preferred to leave, far away from the desert, never daring to set foot again.
But this is their delusion.
Kant would not let all of them go, after all, these were his captives, and he could mine large quantities of salt for him in the salt mines, so as to ensure that the salt trade was smooth again.
Before the arrival of the Death Canopy, Kant planned to accumulate the next batch of coarse salt.
This is the foundation for the future salt trade.
Only a steady stream of salt trade can bring golden eagles that can be exchanged for dinars, and can Kant develop faster and expand his power even more, which is a crucial link.
Once the salt trade is interrupted, Kant will also fall into the situation of the collapse of the capital chain.
After all, the current situation is not in his favor.
Even if Kant had the ability to push the Lion Duchy sideways, the follow-up ruling work was absolutely difficult, and even impossible, after all, those nobles would never allow Kant to enter their traditional sphere of influence abruptly.
Even if an aristocratic force is defeated, the power vacuum that can be formed cannot be filled by Kant.
He didn't have enough troops.
Again, there are not enough allies.
If any of the county's nobles can support Kant, then he can directly swallow the Lion Duchy, and then it would be a big deal to divide those vacuums of influence and give them to these allies.
The interests of the alliance between the nobles are also here.
It's just a vertical and horizontal technique.
It is for this reason that Kant did not fully bring his influence into the Duchy of Lion.
If he really attacked the Lion Principality and defeated a large number of enemies, in the end, he could only leave a large vacuum of power, which was given to others for free and became the free labor of other forces, Kant would naturally not do this kind of thing.
If he had the ability, he would rather swallow the world!
If you don't have the ability now, then you will eat the world!
It's all a way of intrigue.
With the central post station in place, Kant needed to clear the battlefield quickly.
Baron Dylan blocked the Rock Pass, which eventually made it impossible for caravans to enter, and when he returned to the Pass and Fatis took control of the area, the trade routes would be open again, and the caravans would definitely continue to pour in.
By then, it is estimated that the salt trade will be even larger.
Kant had already shown his muscles.
He can be called the overlord of this place, even Baron Dylan has been defeated, and the solid stone pass is controlled by his forces, and it is really difficult for other nobles to go deep into the Narun Desert.
First of all, we must conquer the strong stone pass.
They will also pass through the desert to attack the central post station.
In the end, facing the sentry oasis, the huge city wall fortifications of the "Drehem" Castle can still have a bit of enthusiasm and morale, which is really two words, and it is estimated that they will choose to withdraw their troops at that time, rather than attacking the city head-on!
At the beginning, the high-level gnolls of the Greymane Kingdom were so invincible in foot combat, attacking the fortress-level "Drehem", but the 5-meter-high city wall and a 2-meter-high attic have all been wiped out, not to mention humans.
Although there are also those high-level jackals who run out of oil and have nothing to do with it.
But at that time, Kant was so weak that he could only protect himself, where was the current strong army?
Now he can be called a hegemon!
"Rolf."
Kant made arrangements and instructed him: "Clear the battlefield, and then starting next week, the salt trade will be opened again, continue to patrol and maintain order, and hold this place." ”
"Understood." Rolf immediately nodded solemnly.
"Then I'll go back."
Kant frowned.
The undead in the depths of the desert are still threatening him, and although 5 months is not a short time, it is definitely not a long time!
After a moment's silence, he turned his head to look at the mages who were talking to each other behind him.
11 mage apprentices, and 7 mages.
These mages of the Einface Empire talked very happily, and seemed to talk about the topic of the solar disk, muttering, not loud but very noisy, and they fell into a state of discussion like an academic.
"Ahem."
Kant coughed lightly.
The 18 mages reacted immediately, and they all came to Kant's side and saluted: "I'm sorry, my lord. ”
"It's fine."
Kant shook his head and asked, "Listening to your topic, it seems that you are discussing the solar disk." ”
"Yes, my lord, the wonderful and strange object of the solar disc is indeed the focus of our discussion, and in view of the current predicament, we also agree that the solar disc containing positive energy is indeed the best way for us to have it at present."
The leader of the mages was the mage apprentice who had proposed to Kant to study the solar disk.
After discussion, as well as the original research, they still guessed a few conclusions.
However, he still said with some regrets: "If we can get more about the solar disk, maybe we can analyze more things, maybe we can have those strange things that have been lost in history, the so-called Sun God Cult, and we can analyze more detailed results." ”
"This..."Kant frowned: "I remember that in the ruins of the former mountain top, as well as in the ruins of the temple at the bottom of the mountain, there are solar disks, don't you study it in Aaron?" ”
"Well, indeed."
The mages looked at each other.
They looked at each other, and they were all a little dumbfounded: "We are only assisting in the defense and dealing with some demonic creatures in Aaron, and we have not observed in detail those strange things that have not yet been identified..."
"Not yet identified?" Kant frowned.
"It's those strange things that don't know the purpose of yet."
The mage replied, "For example, the strange objects in the castle, including the solar disk, have been identified, and when we touch them, we all understand the function of this thing in our hearts. ”
"I see." Kant nodded, it should be the role of the system.
The mage continued: "However, we have studied the solar disk, so we have the ability to identify similar disks, and we can easily identify them and find out the power they contain. ”
"That's it, let's go to Aaron!"
Kant decides.
Rolf next to him frowned and suggested, "Lord Kant, what about these captives?" ”
"Let the cavalry take it back!"
Kant waved his hand and commanded in a deep voice: "Let all the captives look south." ”
"Yes." Rolf replied that the order was strange, but he chose to obey it anyway.
Come back soon.
Rolf reported: "It's all arranged. ”
"Hmm."
Kant nodded, but a dialog appeared in his eyes.
With his determination, the data flow spread, and the 500 Swadia light infantry waiting in line in the north were instantly wrapped in these data streams, and after just a few seconds, they suddenly stretched, as if there had been a huge change.
When the stream disappeared, it wasn't the light infantry that appeared on the north side.
Rather, it was 500 cavalrymen with harnesses and chain mail.
Svadia heavy cavalry!
This is an upgrade of the troops, from level 3 light infantry to level 4 heavy cavalry, the entire continent of Calradia, the best defense, the best equipment, the strongest charge level 4 heavy cavalry!
And a full 500 people!
