Dusk gradually ends, and the bright stars release their own light in the sky with the moon.

Like a gentle tulle sprinkled on the earth, with the tenderness of the night.

Sticks of linen were wrapped and drenched with grease, and the humble torches were taken by the Swadian light infantry of the patrol, which patrolled the sand dunes on the outskirts of the sentry oasis before nightfall.

In the streets within the city walls, the same torches were lit and inserted in the specially left recesses in the walls on both sides.

The torches are as bright as daytime.

The entire street is clearly visible.

This made it easier for the busy peasants and peasant women to get a little busier with the work at hand.

Tables and chairs in the house were moved out.

At the same time, wooden bowls and plates, as well as knives, forks, and spoons were prepared.

The rich aroma of food pervades the table, with 10 roasted golden desert antelopes being brought to the table, including sliced bread in small rattan baskets and white salt sprinkled on a wooden plate with a dash of spices.

Plus buckets of cabbage bisque, steaming hot and tantalizing.

It's dinner time.

And it is a feast specially prepared to celebrate the victory and triumph.

And the intoxicating ale.

All of them were goods from the Zhivading caravan.

For tonight's feast, and to celebrate the successful establishment of the fortress, including the first launch of the salt trade, Manid took it upon himself to purchase 10 barrels of ale, which was a little expensive at 250 dinars each, but it was a good relief for the soldiers and civilians who had been busy for a long time and were in a state of nervous condition.

Manid had already reported, and Kant was equally in favor.

It has been soaked in cold spring water, and when the meal is served, it can be pulled up and the lid opened.

Take a sip of the amber liquor, the slight malt sweetness spreads in the mouth with the coolness, swallow it in one bite, haha out of the satisfied wine burp, while the refreshing feeling has not dissipated, cut off a piece of roasted golden mutton with a knife, dip it in salt and put it in the mouth, extremely delicious.

Just thinking about it, it can make people feel that their mouths and stomachs are going to explode tonight!

Everybody's face was beaming.

Food and wine are the eternal laws of all planes.

The soldiers who were off duty also came to help.

All the frozen ale from the spring water was scooped up and neatly placed around the long table, the wet barrels had not yet been wiped clean, and a circle of water stains soaked the sandy ground under their feet.

They couldn't wait to taste the wines.

No one can resist the amber liquor flowing down their throats, cool and intoxicating.

It's just Lord Kant, their lord hasn't come down yet, and no one will really drink ale, even a sip.

This is a heartfelt admiration for a lord worthy of respect.

After patrolling, the Svadia light infantry returned with torches, and when they were sure that there was no problem, they exchanged duties with their companions, put down the burden of a busy day, and walked towards the street in groups of three or five.

The light steps who took over the post stood on the city gate or city wall as sentinels.

After nightfall, just guard the walls and key points carefully.

However, there were still elite Swadian infantry, heavily armoured patrols that patrolled the interior of the fortress.

Loose on the outside and tight on the inside, safety first.

Everyone stood by on both sides of the street, and acquaintances and acquaintances sat together, gossiping with each other about the past, and laughing from time to time, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

The banquet is about to begin.

Manid, as the host, stood at the chair of the long table and nodded to the atmosphere.

So far, this banquet is half the battle.

"Hasn't Master Kant come down yet?"

Fatis finished arranging the night sentries and patrols, and then walked briskly.

But he didn't see Kant, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the towering consulate next to him, and said to Manid helplessly: "Didn't anyone call Lord Kant, maybe he fell asleep because he was too tired." ”

"Nope." Manid was also helpless: "Master Kant commanded, don't call him for dinner." ”

"However, this banquet, without Lord Kant, may be too disappointing." Fatis was slightly stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

This is a celebration feast.

At present, the largest banquet has been held in the Sentry Oasis.

Roast lamb, roast meat, roast sausage, all kinds of food have been piled up on the table.

There is also cabbage bisque, as well as ale, which are quite hearty foods.

In order to make tonight's banquet a success, even a lot of spices were added to those foods, which was equivalent to a rather extravagant banquet condiment for the current sentry oasis.

Now, Master Kant didn't even show up.

The owner of the Sentry Oasis, the lord of the fortress of "Drehem", could not fail to appear at the banquet.

"Wait."

Fatis's eyes shrank instantly.

He turned his head to look at the corner of the edge of the city wall, and his tone was shocked: "I don't remember there... That's..."

"What?" Manid turned his head to look as well.

The soldiers who were still chatting also keenly discovered something, and one by one they were shocked, and they stood up one after another and looked around with wide eyes, as if they had discovered something.

And in his eyes, all of them were filled with joy.

"Is that the Arrow Tower?"

Fatis's voice sounded, and his tone was extremely surprised: "And the attic of the city wall? ”

"That's right." Manid nodded in agreement.

Everyone inside and outside the fortress nodded affirmatively, especially the Svadians, who were even more surprised.

The arrow towers made of stone throughout, and the attic built of sturdy wood on the city walls, with a strong Swadia Kingdom style, how could it not be missed and sighed by these Swadian soldiers?

"This is the miracle of Lord Kant."

Manid spoke, and everyone at the banquet cheered.

They had the impression that this was a supreme power that only God could do.

And they know it too.

They are in the land of miracles, and the Lord Kant who follows them can do the same!

There were many joys and smiles on everyone's faces, and the appearance of these buildings represented the rise of the city defense system again, and the guarantee of the safety of all of them, especially those peasants and peasant women, who wept with emotion.

This represents a chance to survive.

Under the attack of the enemy, you can still hold on.

The rectangular fortress, with arrow towers at all four corners, is 10 meters high and 5 meters wide, divided into three layers, upper, middle and lower, and can be garrisoned by at least 30 crossbowmen, just like a giant full of thorns, guarding the fortress with a chest.

The original stone city wall, which only had a concave and convex retaining arrow wall, has changed dramatically.

The most conspicuous thing is the height.

The 5-meter-high stone wall has become 7 meters, and the attic is 2 meters high because of the timber stitching and reinforcement attic, which not only heightens the wall, but also shelters from the wind and rain, and even blocks the rain of arrows from above.

This is the attic where the crossbowmen are stationed, and it really evolved from the attic where the people lived.

Not only does it increase the survivability of the crossbowman.

In normal times when there is no war, it can be used as a resting place for crossbowmen, and they are stationed at their posts day and night.

If war comes.

These crossbowmen were able to turn the normally sheltered attic into a death beast that spewed countless arrows, letting the besieging troops know what the wrath of the defenders was.

"Whew-"

The horn of the siren suddenly sounded at the top of the Consulate.

The Livingston Ranger poked his head out of it, pointed to the east and shouted, "A strange force is approaching!" ”

"What?"

Fatis was slightly stunned, with some doubt on his face.

But he immediately clenched his fists and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Everyone is in a state of readiness, immediately go to the city wall to set up defenses, and before receiving a new order, keep defending on the city wall in place!" ”

"Understood!" The soldiers on the streets, who were still waiting for the banquet to begin, roared in response.

Everyone's faces were extremely solemn.

Because the unfamiliar troops are still coming towards the sentry oasis, all they can think of at the moment is that the Graymane Kingdom Expeditionary Force from the coast of Mannheim is the enemy force that has come to conquer them!

"Wait, it doesn't seem to be an enemy!"

At the top of the Consulate, the Livingston Ranger poked his head out and shouted.

Looking at the comrades-in-arms below who were ready for battle, this ranger showed a little embarrassment on his face, and still shouted loudly to them: "It seems that it is the troops of the Kingdom of Vekia, as well as the Kingdom of Svadia, you send someone out to take a look." ”

The soldiers who were still striding towards the city wall all subconsciously stopped.

Kingdom of Vekia...

And the troops of the Kingdom of Svadia?

The caravan leader Jocelyn was slightly stunned, he was a Wikibian.

Fatis frowned, and asked the ranger in a reprimanding tone, "Are you sure?" ”

"Sure."

The Ranger replied, a little apologetic, "Sorry, I didn't make it clear. ”

"Tell me about it next time!" Fatis snorted coldly.

But he didn't continue to reprimand anything, turned his head and ordered the soldiers around him again: "Lift the alarm, go to a few light horsemen to investigate, if it is the troops of the Kingdom of Vekia and the Kingdom of Svadia, bring them over, and they can come to the Land of Miracles, which means that they are brave warriors who are willing to follow Lord Kant and come to help us." ”

"Yes." The 4 elite desert bandits responded and quickly ran to the stable.

Find your desert horse, untie the reins, mount it, and run straight out of the city gate towards the sand dunes on the east side.

Just behind the sand dunes, the troops of 100 people were walking in a neat line, except for the footsteps on the sand layer, sinking down and pulling out, the sand appeared with a small sound, all the staff were silent, just walking in the direction of the target sentry oasis.

Although they are closely arranged, these 100 people are also distinct.

50 people for Vikia archers.

and 50 Svadia crossbowmen.
