Chapter 98. The fortress of the Sentry Oasis (10,000 words)

Fatis soon returned, followed by Suno's party.

Among the 200 peasants, there are five horse-drawn wagons full of supplies, and under the tarpaulin, there are sacks full of grains, air-dried meat, and sausages that they have purchased in Suno, all of which are convenient for storage.

When they came to the sentry oasis, they all looked at this small oasis curiously.

However, the 50 Svadian infantrymen who accompanied them were much calmer, standing in formation and straight.

These are excellent fighters who have been through many battles.

Just look at the equipment.

Everyone wore infantry chain mail similar to that of heavy cavalry, and wore flat-topped helmets, but they were not equipped with cloaks for full-time foot combat, but instead had an extra layer of studed leather armor on the outside of the linen robes, which was used to prevent long-range feather arrows from piercing the armor and slashing and sword strikes from close enemies.

In the combat sequence of the Svadia troops, their role is to resist the enemy's forces and maintain the stability of the front.

Holding the heavy fan-shaped shield with an iron edge pinned on the left arm, and holding the blacksmiths' carefully crafted hand and half sword, they were a reliable guarantee of holding the line of defense before the heavy cavalry charged overwhelmingly.

Kant looked at the Swadian infantry with satisfaction, who had traveled and were still in high spirits.

"An elite that deserves to be recognized." Kant nodded secretly.

With the addition of 50 Swadia infantry, the Sentry Oasis was basically formed.

With an infantry array of 50 infantry, an infantry array of 41 light infantry, an archer array of 20 Ravenston rangers, and 46 Swadia heavy cavalry, plus the light cavalry of the desert bandits that can be recruited at any time, it is quite a standard combat sequence.

Although the current force is still about 200 people.

But the real combat effectiveness is more than ten times higher than when Kant fought the world with low-level soldiers!

"Fatis." Kant spoke.

Fatis, who had regained his fortitude, hurried over: "Your Excellency, please command. ”

Kant smiled, looked at the sadness that disappeared on his face, and nodded: "Then you will lead the team, be familiar with our current environment, and if you encounter a jackal who tries to sneak attack, you will be responsible for directing the battle yourself." ”

"Yes, Lord Kant."

Fatis nodded, and without the slightest hesitation, took command.

After receiving his father's letter, he seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, successfully transformed into a real aristocratic knight, who had been rigorously cultivated since he was a child, tempered hard in the mainland, and could take charge of the military commander on his own.

Fatis summoned his troops in the sentry oasis and at the same time organized the 50 Svadian infantry into sequence and led the team out.

Allowing Fatis to lead the troops is Kant's trust and affirmation of him.

At the same time, it was also Kant's cultivation and expectation of Fatis, after all, Kant understood that although he could command small troops, with the extreme increase in the number of troops, professional commanders would be more effective in controlling the troops.

As the pace progressed, the metal armor collided, like crisp wind chimes.

Kant was slightly intoxicated.

This is the whisper of war, a different kind of display of strength.

Opening his eyes, Kant looked at the 200 peasants who were still looking at the place curiously, and a smile appeared on his face: "Well, my dear lords, now is the time to be busy, you will get your own jobs and houses, and you will live well here." ”

"Hooray, lord."

The peasants cheered and gave up Suno for a better future.

Of course, the first job of the newcomer is to move all the supplies he brings to the storage room.

50 bags of air-dried meat and 50 bags of sausages, this kind of shelf-stable and delicious, can quickly replenish physical strength of meat is a good thing, especially sausages, Kant who is used to eating air-dried meat, can't help but want to taste this delicacy.

"Take all 200 bags of grain to the mill."

Kant directed the peasants to work, pointing to the warehouses to the southeast and said, "There are grain warehouses there. ”

"Yes, sir." The peasants immediately became dutifully busy.

The mill on the south-east, built on a separate sandy floor, has reached the finishing stages of the workers' efforts these days, and the storehouse for storing grain and flour has been built as an ancillary structure.

However, the style of the mill is different from the wind and water mills that were common in the Kingdom of Swadia.

This is a common animal mill in the Salander Sultanate.

Although compared to wind mills and water mills, animal mills are less efficient.

But the mill is not limited by terrain and does not need to be built next to a river or between windy mountain passes.

Kant understood that the system must have taken into account the lack of water and wind in the Narun Desert, otherwise it would be really embarrassing if there were really two kinds of mills.

Bags of grain were delivered over.

The construction workers also helped, and just now, with the final planks finalized, the mill was finished.

Fences included.

A half-meter-high stone wall made of brick-sized stones surrounds a date palm grove and wheat field.

This was Kant's helplessness.

The wall is of little significance, and the price-performance ratio is considered the lowest level of construction.

If it weren't for Kant's sake for the upgrading of the entire village, he would not have considered building this building at all, wasting the dinar in vain.

Even Kant had decided.

As soon as the village is upgraded, these walls will be torn down immediately.

There are no wild beasts in the Naren Desert, and the half-meter-high wall can't stop the gnolls who really want to turn over, so it's better to tear them all down than to hinder Kant's troops from resisting the sneak attacks of the gnolls and hindering the tactical attack.

After all, Kant will continue to develop agriculture in the future, and he will not let the wall restrict the land and space.

"Your Excellency."

Manid walked over after placing the horses and supplies.

"Hmm." Kant turned his head to look: "What's the matter?" ”

"I heard Fatis say before, our salt mines... Occupied by the gnolls again? ”

Manid frowned slightly.

This is related to the development of the salt trade in the future, if the salt cannot be delivered to the Jianshi Pass as scheduled, it is estimated that the seemingly peaceful, but in fact bad character Baron Dylan, will turn his face again.

"That's right."

Kant nodded, did not deny it, but frowned slightly: "It's not a big deal. ”

"I think it should be solved sooner." Manid admonished: "Business requires skill, but it is not cunning and coaxing, but integrity." ”

"I understand that."

Kant sighed slightly, turned his head to look at the desert to the north, and frowned even more.

The gnolls who had been defeated and scattered dared to harass him, and even occupied the salt mines and tribal ruins, which really made him feel that this group of guys had eaten the wolf's heart and leopard guts, and they were really bold.

"Just clean it up again." Kant snorted coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Kant didn't care about the small group of gnolls.

After being completely defeated and even the tribe was burned to the ground, the gnolls of the Narun Desert were no match for each other.

The sneak attack now is just the last struggle before dying.

It's not even much of a threat.

Since Fatis stayed behind in the sentry oasis and carefully defended the surrounding sand dunes day and night, it was basically to slaughter the defeated gnolls again, so that these poor insects scattered in the desert without tribes would go to the underworld to reunite with their relatives.

Perhaps the gnolls will go back and re-form a colony in the ruins of the tribe with fresh water from wells.

But Kant's sweep will begin anew.

This time it will not be a risky surprise attack led by low-level infantry, which may be in danger of defeat, but a genuine cavalry assault that will completely defeat the gnolls again.

Strangled these lowly uncivilized beast races in the Narun Desert.

Because Kant had already changed his guns, his troops were also upgraded, and he was able to recruit a pure cavalry unit.

"Use cards."

Kant's mind moved slightly.

The golden card that was still floating in his mind instantly turned into powder with Kant's thoughts.

This is the reward for completing the temporary quest "Letters from Fatis".

[Recruitment doubled (constant)]

It is this task reward, in Kant's view, is the reason for the rapid recruitment of pure cavalry troops, without one, he can rely on this golden card to complete the construction of cavalry troops in a short time.

【Ding... System Prompt]

[Please select a constant building: Consulate / Desert Bandit Camp]

The system gives a prompt.

Kant didn't hesitate at all, and said in a deep voice: "Desert bandit camp." ”

【Ding... System Prompt]

[Constant success, the building's recruitment effect is doubled.] 】

[Desert Bandit Camp, currently recruiting 20 Desert Bandits per week.] 】

A system dialog pops up and disappears from the retina.

Kant clenched his fists slightly: "That's it." ”

This is because when he opens the Desert Bandit Camp's recruitment screen, the screen that used to be displayed as "10/10 Desert Bandits can be recruited" has now been changed to "10/20 Desert Bandits" is now displayed.

"Recruit 10 Desert Bandits."

Today is the weekend, and Kant will not waste these 10 places.

After paying 300 dinars, the 10 desert bandits immediately led the desert horses out of the camp, although the weapons and equipment on their bodies were seriously backward, and they looked extremely thin and pitiful next to the Swadia heavy cavalry, but as a long-standing bandit, they still retained their temperament, as if they could run away at any time.

These desert bandits were light cavalry who came and went without a trace, taking advantage of tactical shifts and breakthroughs.

But Kant still had to make a few changes.

"Use a military card."

On the retina of the eye, the dialog box pops up again, and Kant selects.

The data stream began to spread in an instant, and at the waist of these desert bandits, the flange hammer, which was originally used as a melee weapon, disappeared out of thin air at this time, and reappeared with the scimitar used by the Salanders.

This is a real standard weapon, not a flange hammer that is cheap and easy to mass-produce.

Outside the Solid Stone Pass, the quest reward for annihilating the two waves of enemies with evil intentions.

Just the perfect match.

"It's done." Kant looked at the streamlined scimitar at his waist and smiled at the corners of his mouth.

5 Salander riders led a team of 20 desert bandits, using spears and scimitars to sweep the hidden gnolls between the surrounding sand dunes, there is absolutely no problem, even if the number of enemies may be large, using javelins to consume them remotely, seduc, divide the enemy, and then annihilate them, these desert races are all good at it.

This tactic is the forte of the Kujits.

But the Salanders from the desert also learned this tactic when they went to war with the Kugit of the steppe.

It's just a difference.

The Kujit harassed their enemies with archery and cavalry, harassing them until they were exhausted before concentrating on attacking. The Salanders, on the other hand, were more enthusiastic about the destructive short javelin, which directly inflicted great losses on the enemy, and brazenly took advantage of the enemy's cowardice to launch a charge and completely crush the enemy.

These are the different tactics of the different characteristics of the two peoples.

There is no good or bad, only suitable and unsuitable.

The Salander people rode desert horses, with wider hooves, a well-proportioned body, and a stronger physique, but poor endurance, and were suitable for direct charging rather than wandering, and the Salander horse was a carefully bred desert horse.

Therefore, the Salanders threw short javelins, instantly destroying the enemy's line, and charging with horses and guns, which produced excellent results.

In the Naren Desert, Kant of course adopted the tactics of these desert peoples.

This is the experience accumulated by our ancestors.

Just like in the future war, Kant's Swadian troops were perfectly arrayed, but the desert bandits composed of these Salanders harassed the enemy's flanks and rear like flies, and once the enemy showed a flaw, they were greeted with complete death, because the flood of Swadian heavy cavalry could destroy all the troops in front of them.

"The next thing is to wait."

Kant calculated slightly.

All the buildings will be completed today, and once the system allows for the upgrade of the village of "Drehem", Kant will choose to upgrade directly.

It would be a fresh beginning, not the village it is today.

For example, Kant intended to upgrade the fortress.

When any force goes from weak to strong, it is accompanied by a series of fights and struggles.

What's more, this is a world where hard fists represent justice.

It is impossible for Kant to tilt all his resources to economic development in the early stage, and the line he determined in advance is to give priority to military development.

The same can be said of Kant's line of development, which is reckless.

That's right, recklessly.

In Kant's view, this is not a derogatory term, but a way to grow the fastest, have the best effect, and have the shortest effect.

With military strength, it means that the fist is hard.

As long as the fist is hard and others dare not easily infringe, then Kant can develop the economy with confidence.

These troops were systematically recruited and were constantly loyal to Kant, and there was no formation of military interest groups that opposed Kant's economic development, and would only support them unconditionally.

Kant turned his head slightly.

The sun in the sky has come overhead, emitting unparalleled heat.

It's almost noon.

Taking a deep breath, Kant's face was calm, but there was a bit of smugness in his eyes.

Sweep through the sentry oasis.

"The sun is rising."

Kant sighed in his heart.

This is the cornerstone of his already small village, a brilliant future.

………………

The darkness was condensing, as if it was doing everything in its power to contain the light of dawn.

But as the sun finally took shape, the darkness was as unbearable as a broken flag in front of the light, and in a short moment, countless rays of light pierced the darkness, dispelled the night, and let the dawn of the day arrive.

Kant opened his eyes, and the sky outside the window was still slightly dark.

Shaking his head, his spirits quickly recovered, and he lifted the wool blanket and put on his clothes, and Kant opened the door and went downstairs.

"Lord Kant."

The guards who were now on the first floor had been replaced by the Swadia infantry, who were more adept at foot combat.

Seeing Kant come out, they all stopped their chests in high spirits and saluted.

"Hmm." Kant nodded in response.

Sitting on a wooden table in the hall, a farmer in the kitchen prepares breakfast.

It was still the food share of all the personnel, and it required earlier preparation, which Kant was not surprised, but turned to the Swadian infantry who acted as guards and asked, "Did you notice anything unusual last night?" ”

"Lord Kant, everything is safe."

The Svadia infantry responded categorically.

"Very good." Kant nodded, a slight smile on his lips.

After the early hours of this morning, Kant took advantage of the desert bandit camp to refresh the recruitment time period, and took the lead in spending 600 dinars to directly recruit 20 desert bandits, directly forming a 40-man light cavalry team.

Kant did not leave them idle, but arranged tasks.

Led by five Salander riders, they took advantage of the night to clear the sand dunes around the sentry oasis, and now it seems to be very effective.

"Didn't the gnolls attack?" Kant still asked.

"Nope."

The Svadia infantry replied, adding, "It's absolutely safe, and there are no signs of gnolls around the village." ”

"Not bad." Kant smiled with satisfaction.

The role of the light cavalry was more than harassing the enemy's line and striking at the enemy's supply lines.

It can also be used for tactics such as counter-reconnaissance, anti-sneak attack, and anti-infiltration, which is quite convenient, fast and efficient, and sometimes much more useful than the heavy cavalry that is simply used to destroy the enemy's array.

Still, Kant shook his head with some pity.

When he asked the desert bandits to form a cavalry team and clear the area around the dunes, he also told them that if they could capture the gnolls, then try to capture them as much as possible, after all, these guys can still be sold to the Zhivadine caravan that is coming this month.

As for replacing the flange hammer, Kant did not regret it.

This blunt weapon can indeed forcibly stun enemies and gain a large number of prisoners in the game.

But in this real world, the head in the head of the desert robbers with a horse speed hammer is basically like a hammered watermelon, and the smashed skull is fractured and recessed, but most of them are directly brains bursting out, so that the whole head is torn apart, not to mention stunned, that unlucky look is simply unbearable to look at.

This is also the reason why Kant asked them to change their machetes.

It's all killing, and the sharp scimitar cuts through it, which is much stronger than the flange hammer with a shorter attack range.

Kant didn't care.

If you can capture the gnolls, you will be captured, and if you can't, you will be killed, there are no hard indicators.

Now it is still the development of the sentry oasis as the priority, and there is no problem in killing all the jackals.

Sit in the Consulate.

The sun has become rich, the night has completely dissipated, and the time of day has arrived.

And Kant was waiting.

The system is also quite considerate of the pop-up dialog.

【Ding... With the rising sun, a new week begins. 】

[Income: You collect 200 dinars in tax in Dehrim (village). 】

[Expenditure: You pay 4,766 dinars to all members of the army]

[Fiscal summary: The main income is: the poll tax of 200 dinars for the common people is collected in the "Drehem", there are no merchants to pay taxes, no factories to pay taxes, and the means of income are seriously scarce. The main expenditures were for military expenses: 369 dinars for Swadia light infantry, 800 dinars for Swadia infantry, 1472 dinars for Swadia heavy cavalry, 145 dinars for Salander riders, 240 dinars for desert bandits, and 1540 dinars for Ravenston Rangers. 100 dinars for fatis, 100 dinars for manids. 】

This is a weekly income and expenditure briefing.

Kant's gaze swept over the retina's financial generalizations, which were similar to those he had calculated in advance.

One of the disadvantages of reckless militarism is that military spending consumes most of the savings.

But Kant didn't care.

At present, he has determined the development path of the current military priority, and naturally he will not change it.

In this world, there are scattered gnolls everywhere, not to mention the depths of the Narun Desert, let's just say that there are many gnolls in the Sanwaya Mountains, and it is really easy to capture some and change them to dinars.

After checking the finances, Kant's eyes flashed with essence.

The next thing he's going to do.

But before that, Kant had to be completely prepared.

With a slight groan, Kant raised his head and instructed the guards at the door: "Convey the order, asking Fatis to assemble the Svadia troops as soon as possible and deploy them in the sentry oasis, with Manid as a deputy to assist." ”

"Understood, sir." The guards immediately responded, saluted, and hurried away.

It didn't take long.

Outside the Consulate, there was a sudden noise of footsteps, and at the same time the neighing of horses.

Kant's order was delivered, and all Swadia troops began to assemble and stand by.

This is the strongest military strength that Kant has at present, and this powerful force, even the original gnoll tribe, is estimated to tremble for it, and he does not dare to offend easily.

41 Svadia light infantry, 50 Swadia infantry.

46 Swadia heavy cavalry, 20 Livingston Rangers.

and a light cavalry of 5 Salander riders and 40 desert bandits who also roamed the outer desert desert.

A strong elite composed of 202 people as a whole.

There is no water, and all of them are high-level soldiers who can be directly thrown into the battlefield to fight.

The lowest-ranking of the troops were Swadia light infantry with infantry chain mail, wearing infantry helmets, thick fan shields, heavy spears, and standard Germanic soldiers at their waists.

Kant believed that nothing was lost.

The Sentry Oasis is now safe.

It's also a good time to upgrade.

And Kant's thinking, which is also straightforward communication system, chose the golden card in his mind.

"Upgrade."

Kant was sure that the card with the golden light in his mind shattered instantly.

The power of the mystical has descended.

The once denied request for an upgrade is now reappearing on Kant's retina.

In order to see the dialog box above, Kant closed his eyes.

【Ding... System Prompt]

[At present, the village "Drehem" is fully equipped and allows upgrades. 】

Yes/No to upgrade. 】

The system gives a choice, but Kant at this time, how could he hesitate.

Taking a deep breath, Kant affirmed, "Upgrade." ”

The word represents affirmation, and Kant's tone is equally affirmative.

The golden light that had been dispersed into fragments instantly turned into a stream of data, appearing in the outside world with Kant's thoughts.

The entire consul hall was wrapped.

A large number of data chains are beginning to entangle, and mysterious and mysterious existence is coming.

As if breaking some kind of crystal wall and communicating the two rules, Kant in the Consulate also seemed to incarnate this mysterious and mysterious force and began to transform the Consulate.

and the injection of new rules.

【Ding... System Prompt]

[The village meets the upgrade standard, and there are two modes to choose from for this upgrade. 】

[(1) Fortress (Military) / (2) Town (Economy)]

[Please make a reasonable choice based on the current situation, and it cannot be changed after confirmation.] 】

A system dialog pops up in Kant's eyes.

Kant is free from the power of the occult.

Swallowing slightly, he made a choice: "Fortress." ”

【Ding... System Prompt]

[The mode is determined to be a fortress, and the village begins to upgrade.] 】

The data flow continues to spread.

It seems to be eternal, but it is only a few breaths.

The flow of data that completely enveloped the Consulate was as ferocious as it had been, and it had disappeared in an instant.

Kant, who was sitting in his chair, opened his eyes.

"Is it over?"

Slowly exhaling a sullen breath, Kant looked in front of him.

What caught his eye was still the long table, which seemed to be no different from before, but when Kant looked up at the decorations on both sides, he couldn't help but squint slightly, the change was really too great.

The neatly cut stone is like a green brick, and it is laid into the neat floor of the Consulate.

The walls around it are no longer made of wood, but are made of stone.

The width is like the stone blocks used to build the city wall, which was neatly measured by engineers and built in layers, so that the height of the entire hall reaches 4 meters, and for the sake of beauty, there is a lion flag on the wall that symbolizes the kingdom of Svadia.

This is also in line with the aesthetics and emblem of the Principality of Lion.

Kant looked at the impression that he had lived in the Lion Duchy for 16 years, and that there was no problem with these flags representing the Lion Duchy.

Although the male lion is drawn differently, they all represent lions.

Kant turned his head to look to the sides.

The spacious windows are now gone, and the 4-meter-high stone walls have no concept of windows.

Causes the light to be somewhat dim.

This made Kant slightly stunned, and subconsciously remembered the solid stone pass, the official residence of Baron Dylan.

It's really similar.

The rooms on either side had been blocked by walls, except for the corners of the walls on either side where Kant was sitting, where there were two unknown passages, each with two Swadian infantrymen waiting.

Like the 2 infantrymen in front of the door, they are all standing guard.

Standing up, Kant walked towards the passage on the left, thinking thoughtfully: "Is it leading upstairs?" ”

According to the experience of the game in the previous life, the fortress buildings of the Swadia Kingdom are usually multi-storey, and it looks like the current Consulate has been completely changed to stone, and it is estimated that there are more floors and the buildings are higher.

"Lord Kant."

The Svadian infantry standing guard saluted respectfully.

"Hmm." Kant nodded, in response.

The entrance passage, as Kant had expected, was a staircase made of wooden planks in two layers of walls, leading directly to the top, but when you looked up, it seemed that the current Consulate Hall had become three floors.

The second floor is a little smaller, with wooden planks on both sides of the corridor.

Similar to the layout of the in-game hotel, it is obviously a room for the guards, and it is also a storage room, although it seems to be a small space, but it is roughly estimated that it can accommodate 20 guards to rest.

Kant continued up the stairs to the third floor.

This is supposed to belong to the lord's space, and it is divided into 3 rooms with only wooden planks, and the interior is spacious.

And there are a lot of ornaments hanging on the walls, and there are carpets on the floor, all of which are typical Swadian style, luxurious and graceful and domineering, and the momentum of the former overlord of the Calradia continent is undoubtedly revealed.

"Not bad." Kant nodded.

He checked the room, which was also covered in carpets and decorations, and the bed was made of soft velvet.

It's a precious fabric in the game.

But Kant looked up and found that the stairs were still leading to a higher place, he walked over curiously, but the top was a wooden door, and as it was pushed outward, the bright and sunny light suddenly shone down, so that Kant couldn't help but squint slightly.

He just rolled over and walked out.

It is a stone hut that resembles an elevator room on the top floor.

"Lord Kant."

A respectful salutation came, and it was two Ravenston rangers saluting.

Kant's eyes adapted to the light, squinting slightly and looking around, the vast desert in the distance was unobstructed, the vast sea of sand was incomparably vast, the desolation and barrenness that belonged to the desert, he was stunned.

This is the top floor of the Consul Hall.

The stone roof has been used as a floor at the bottom of the foot, with a generous space of about 400 square meters, and a half-meter-high arrow wall has been specially built at the edge, which is concave and jagged, which also allows the archers to shoot from a high position.

"How tall is this?" Kant asked, swallowing and spitting.

The Livingston Ranger replied, "My lord, it's 10 meters tall." ”

Kant came to the side of the arrow wall, leaned on the protrusion and looked down, condescending to make his heart beat a little faster, although there was no fear of heights, but the fear of high places still made him have some heart palpitations.

The familiar street appeared in front of Kant.

The Consulate Hall has been changed from 300 square meters to 400 square meters, and it is 10 meters high, crushing all the buildings to the bottom like a stone giant.

I also hesitated to upgrade the Consulate, and the streets have changed slightly.

But the overall effect is similar to usual.

Fatis was leading his troops to assemble in the streets, and when he saw Kant look down, they all showed fanatical expressions, raising their weapons as if they were shouting for joy.

"Lord Kant!"

It is their heartfelt and fanatical admiration for Kant, their worship from the heart and their loyalty from the soul.

And at this moment, Kant's heart seems to be ignited with pride.

Standing on the edge of the arrow wall, he waved at the soldiers below, and although he did not speak, it was this response that caused all the Swadia soldiers below to shout and cheer.

"This is my fortress."

Kant squinted slightly, and his heart was unparalleled with confidence.

After the upgrade, although it seems that only the basic archonium of the village has been changed to a fortress-level consul.

But that's just one of them.

Kant opened the retina and looked at the interface of the current "Drehem", which was completely different.

Stronghold buildings have appeared.

It's a new beginning.

Kant leaves the top floor, and 2 Ravenston rangers bid him farewell.

They are the sentinels stationed here, and they can also rely on their heavy bows to deliver long-range strikes against any enemy who tries to approach the sentry oasis, and the height of 10 meters plus the bow skills of the Livingston Ranger can completely envelop the entire sentry oasis.

For these rangers honed in the Misty Mountains, Kant trusted them quite a lot.

Back in the hall on the first floor, Kant sat back in his place.

Open the data list.

Kant's system of re-communication of the mind.

The current data list pops up on the retina instantly.

………………

【Drehem】

【Lord: Kant】

[Deposit: 3534 dinars]

[Reputation: 1200]

【Honor:0】

[Generals: Fatis, Manid]

[Category: Svadia Fortress]

[Current population: 200 people]

[Buildings: Consulate (fort level), houses (6 buildings), watchtower, desert bandit camp, general store, sugar workshop, training ground, mill, wall, well, post station]

[Can build: houses, barracks, stables, bell towers, city walls, gates, arrow towers, weapon workshops, cells]

[Upgradeable: Watchtower, Training Ground]

【Building Pack: Stone City Wall】

[Agricultural resources: date palm forest (2 acres), wheat field (7.5 acres), grass beach (5 acres)]

[Recruitable: Swadia Recruit (Consulate), Desert Bandit (Desert Bandit Camp)]

[Comments: The brand-new Fort "Drehem" has just been built, and it looks like it's in a bad situation.] Clear springs flow into small lakes and nourish the arid and barren land. Hopeful farmers are busy in the date palm groves and fields. However, as a fortress, there are few buildings, and the living area is quite cramped, and there are no fortifications. It is worth noting that there were no ladies inside the fortress. 】

[Note: Non-system output is not included in the statistics]

………………

This is the newly upgraded fortress "Drehem".

Kant exhaled slightly, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The evaluation of the system is really merciless. ”

What was a good rating as a village is now directly defined as bad.

Looking at the buildable categories on the interface, densely arranged, Kant reluctantly accepted this evaluation, after all, according to the statistics of a large number of military buildings above, the current fortress is indeed very simple.

To be called a fortress, at least there must be a ring of walls that can protect the territory.

Just like those castles in the games of the previous life.

It's just that the current village has been upgraded to a fortress, and the construction time of the building has changed from 7 days to 20 or 50 days, which has completely doubled.

This made Kant rejoice that he was wise not to completely consume his prestige.

"But the walls can be built."

Kant's eyes flashed, this was the architectural gift bag he had drawn.

The city wall was not built directly in the first place, for fear of hindering the development and construction of the village, but it is still wise to think about it now, if the city wall was really chosen at that time, then the fortress buildings that appear now will completely disrupt the original plan.

The importance of fortress planning can be reflected in the effectiveness of defense.

If the walls and fortifications are not properly constructed, there are dead ends and gaps in the defenses, which can be fatal to the fortress.

After all, this is a military building.

If the key to holding an area is that the defense is reduced due to planning problems, and a gap appears, and the enemy discovers it and uses it as a breakthrough to launch a ferocious attack, then it is only a matter of time before the fortress falls.

There is no such situation now.

A list of all fort-level buildings has been formed.

Kant was able to rely on the buildings on the list to leave room for construction in advance, which means that there is no problem in building stone walls now.

"Build a stone wall."

Kant's mind continues to communicate systems.

Now that he has made up his mind, Kant will implement it vigorously, and it is not his character to drag mud and water.

In my mind, the card of the stone wall instantly shattered.

The flow of data is given new rules by the power of the occult.

And Kant's whole person also rose instantly with the divergence of thinking, and when he reacted, he had already appeared at a height of 20 meters in the "Drehem" fortress from the perspective of God.

Condescendingly, he saw his fortress clearly.

The entire body of the Consulate Hall is made of stone, and it should be called a square tower, and its height of 10 meters is like a rock giant.

On the street at the bottom, Fatis and his troops were still assembled and on standby.

But on the streets of the Consulate, it was like a small black dot, not proportional to this huge rock giant at all, it seemed incomparably small, and it seemed that it could be annihilated with one kick.

Of course, this is just speculation.

Kant was amused by his thoughts.

Shake your head slightly.

Kant regained his senses and swept the current layout of the sentry oasis, which is still dominated by agriculture on the north side, and residential and handicraft industries on the south side, which was a simple plan for the village at the beginning, but it is a good foundation.

The agricultural region to the north Kant does not intend to change.

To the south, the residential and handicraft areas were also identified by Kant.

The weapons workshops in the list of buildings, also included in the handicraft area by Kant, are also located on the south side.

On the west side is a small lake and 5 acres of sagebrush.

Kant planned to develop the western side into a pastoral area, where all the livestock would be fed in the future, and the fertilizer produced would be just enough to be transferred to the agricultural area, which was basically a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

As for other cells and barracks, Kant intended to regulate them all on the east side.

There is also a large vacant sand area next to the pre-built training ground, which allows these buildings for military purposes to be spread out and provide timely support in case of any situation in the future.

No matter how much you plan your fortress, it won't be too big.

The close-knit buildings are linked together, bounded by the city walls, strong against enemy attacks, and secure the lord's ownership of the area, which is what defines a fortress or castle as such.

In the Lion Duchy, castles and villages were fiefdoms of nobles and knights.

Towns and cities, as for them, belonged to the exclusive domain of the king, and officials were sent to the town hall to govern.

Of course, Kant only has this fortress at present, so there is no need to worry.
