Chapter 133. Medals that come with the mission
That's right.
Kant determined that just behind the dunes to the east, the cowering crowd were refugees.
Standard Swadian attire.
It's exactly the same as the refugees who came to the sentry oasis before.
Although the civilians of this world are dressed similarly to the civilians on the continent of Calradia, in fact, as long as you look closely, you can know that they are not at all different in details, with the style of their own people.
This made him frown slightly: "Why is it so fanfare." β
The 40 desert bandits have already gone out.
Many of them drew their scimitars from their waists, as if they were in close hand-to-hand combat.
Even if Kant was on the top floor of the Consulate, he could detect the glimmer of the scabbard that had been drawn from the Scimitar of the Salanders.
But at that moment, a dialog box suddenly appeared on the retina.
γDing... Temporary Task Release]
[Temporary Mission: Pre-War Refugees]
[Reward: 1000 Fame, 1 Honor]
[Introduction: In war, any refugee who takes refuge will be a burden.] You are currently in a situation where these innocent, poor refugees want to take refuge in you. Did you choose to accept them? γ
On the dialog box is a temporary task.
Kant frowned slightly.
He guessed why there were refugees, after all, most of the 50 houses were still vacant.
According to the passive nature of the houses, so many vacant houses will definitely attract a lot of homeless refugees to come, increasing the civilian population of the "Drehem" fortress.
Just like now, about 300 refugees are squatting pitifully on the ground.
Without Kant's orders, they simply could not have become civilians here.
Or rather.
It is necessary for Kant to determine whether to complete this temporary task.
The system is right.
In wartime, these refugees are all burdens, because there is no chores to do, and there are no daily tasks to arrange, even if there are towers that can recruit all these peasants into new soldiers and put them into the frontal battlefield, it is estimated that they are all brushing the heads of the enemy's troops, and they are completely used as cannon fodder to die.
Even if these refugees become civilians, they will waste food in vain.
Kant narrowed his eyes slightly.
Just as he had already made up his mind and wanted to communicate with the system, there was the sound of footsteps on the stairs behind him.
Fatis walked up quickly, and reported solemnly on his face: "Lord Kant, a group of Svadian refugees from outside the fortress, numbering 310 people, have heard of your benevolent reputation, and want to become a subject under your rule, and choose to resist the enemy's attack with you, and contribute their meager strength. β
"Hmm." Kant nodded slightly: "I saw it." β
The idea of his communication system was suspended.
The mind turned slightly.
Kant turned his head to look at Fatis behind him, his fingers clenched slightly, and asked as if he was flat: "Fatis, do you think it is necessary to accept these refugees, after all, we are facing an unknown and powerful enemy." β
"I think it's needed." Fatis replied solemnly.
"Tell me what you think." Kant Dao.
Fatis, though compassionate, was not pedantic.
If the fortress "Drechim" really could not afford these refugees, he would definitely not agree to take them in.
Moaned slightly.
Fatis organized his language and reported: "Lord Kant, these refugees will become our reserve soldiers, and in the continuous war, they can act as fresh blood to replenish the blood of the battle-damaged troops, which can well avoid the passive situation that our troops cannot even replenish the establishment after the loss of our troops due to long-term combat. β
"Reserves and war potential." Kant squinted slightly: "That's a good point." β
"Lord Kant, this is my idea."
Fatis nodded, and at the same time looked at the cowering refugees at the sand dunes outside, and under the scimitars of those desert bandits, they looked very afraid, and said softly, "And we have enough food at the moment. β
Kant did not answer, thinking quietly.
After a while he opened his mouth and asked Phatis, "How long will our food last?" β
"3 months." Fatis replied.
"3 months?" Kant frowned slightly: "This time is still a little less. β
Although in the game, the war will only last for 4 days and 5 days.
But in the real world, it is possible for a war to last for years.
And as the fortress of "Drehem", which hangs in the sphere of influence of the Duchy of Lion and is not even an enclave, it is simply a lonely city without reinforcements, and once the enemy surrounds it, I am afraid it will be several months.
Even if Kant occupies the only source of water.
But he didn't know if there would be something special in this world of extraordinary powers.
Just like the "Pages of Clear Springs", you can get clear drinking water.
Kant clearly understood.
The world he is currently in is not the world that emphasized science on the earth in his previous life.
It's a fantasy world of swords and magic!
Once the siege has been too long, perhaps Kant's troops will be short of food, which is the most terrifying thing in war, and countless lessons in history have proved that the lack of food can not only make the morale of the troops drop to the extreme, but even the possibility of rout and rebellion.
Kant naturally would not have taken such a risk.
He sometimes gambles, but he doesn't like to turn himself into a bargaining chip.
Standing on the top floor, Kant turned his head to look at the refugees behind the eastern sand dunes.
At the same time, he looked at the area of the city wall under him, which was only half a hectare, and said slowly: "I understand what you mean, in fact, we are more short of people than lack of food." β
"Yes." Fatis nodded.
"That's all." Kant had a decision in his mind, and he opened his mouth and instructed him: "Let these refugees go to the lake to take a bath, change into clean clothes, and prepare food for them, and I will accept them." β
"You are wise." Fatis stroked his chest respectfully, and then immediately went to make arrangements.
At the same time, a dialog box pops up in front of you.
γDing... Temporary Mission Completed]
[Temporary Mission: Pre-War Refugees]
[Reward: 1000 Fame, 1 Honor]
[Introduction: These homeless refugees thank you for your kindness.] As your people, they are willing to sacrifice their lives for this place, even if the enemy has already stormed the fortress with a butcher's knife, they will resist with all their might. When you choose to accept them as a people, then this is their home. γ
1000 Fame and 1 Honor are instantly credited.
Kant's face was calm.
Just below in the sand dunes, Fatis was arranging for the refugees to go to the lake to the west.
Upon hearing the news of being accepted by the lord, they let out a grateful cheer below, thrilled that they had met a benevolent lord, which was their luck.
But Kant was not merciful enough to take them in.
Accepting them is also not a sign of luck.
Facing the expeditionary force of the Greymane Kingdom, Kant's fortress of "Drehem" stands in the sentry oasis, which is destined to be the main battlefield of bloody battles, and since these refugees have chosen to join Kant as civilians, they cannot escape either.
At the same critical moment, with the sound of emergency bells, go to the city wall to line up for defense.
War is always brutal.
It seems that there are a large number of civilians, but the civilians who can survive, I don't know how many will be left.
Blood and fire will give birth to elite soldiers.
But in the process, they will first become corpses, paving the way of blood and fire.
All 40 desert bandits dispersed, with only 10 as overseers, and under the arrangement of Fatis, they took the refugees to wash in the small lake in the western pastoral area, so that their dirty appearance was clean.
At the same time, he found the cleanest clothes in the fleeing package and put them on his body.
The refugees have become Swadian farmers again.
With a happy smile on his face.
In the war-torn continent of Calradia, there are not many lords who accept displaced people and refugees, and in the long war, the first consideration of these lords is the safety of their castles and towns, and that is enough, because these two things are the capital for them to dominate the continent and maintain their authority.
As for the villages and the hillbillies, they are at best a dispensable addition, and as long as they gain the upper hand in the war and obtain the long-lost peace, there will always be desperate peasants who will defect to the front row.
That's why Kant's benevolence is so precious.
Like the vast majority of previous arrivals, the 310 refugees were all men, without women, children or the elderly.
However, according to the urine nature of the system, it doesn't matter if there is a woman.
Kant thinks about the 50 peasant women he currently has.
The thick arms, powerful thighs, and thick waist like a bucket cover the strength that makes these peasant women carry logs for hundreds of meters without difficulty, and carrying a bag of coarse salt in one hand is to load a car, and the strength is no less than that of a man.
A woman who rides and slashes is no different from a man.
"Be vigilant."
Kant admonished the Livingston rangers and walked down to the top floor of the Consulate.
Received 1 point of honor, and the system store was opened for him again.
"Start the draw."
Kantian Thinking Communication System.
On the retina, a treasure chest containing colorful light opens with a coin of 1 point of honor.
γDing... You have received an "Item Pack"]
[You open the item package and find that it is the "Order of the Lion Knights"]
[Order of the Lion Knights: This is a symbol of honor for the Lion Knights of the Kingdom of Sarion.] Characteristics: When worn by a cavalry general, it shortens the charging distance of cavalry units by 30% and speeds up the charge. Notes: This medal appears to be hiding other secrets, but it is not yet qualified. γ
This was a reward for nothing, so Kant did not take it to heart.
But when he opens the treasure chest at any time.
This appearance of the prop made Kant look slightly stunned: "The Kingdom of Sarion..."
