Assechi was tied with hemp rope in his upper body, leaving only his feet to walk.

At the same time, 41 light infantrymen wearing infantry chain mail also walked over, each of them put their hands on the hilt of the Germanic sword at their waists, and looked at the jackal with unkind expressions, as if they could draw their swords and cut it in the next second.

This made Assechi obediently tied up, bowing his head and being his prisoner.

just looked aggrievedly in the distance.

This saline land, formed by the drying up of a saltwater lake, no longer belongs to it.

Filled with sorrow and despair in his heart, Assechi's wolf eyes welled up with tears, for it now understood that even he, a high-ranking gnoll who deserved to be treated decently, had become a captive and had no freedom.

There wasn't much left for it to be saddened.

With Kant's orders, the temporarily occupied salt mine was left ownerless.

Because these Svadia heavy cavalry and light infantry, under the leadership of Fatis and Kant, have repacked their weapons and equipment, and walked in the direction they came.

None of the original coarse salt of the white flowers on the saline ground was collected.

Even the coarse salt in the linen belt seized from Assechi was piled up haphazardly on the edge of the saline, with no intention of taking it with him.

These things that can't be eaten directly will not be stolen by anyone.

Those low-level gnolls have now been defeated, and except for Kant, who is two days away, who will send people to mine salt again, basically no one will appear here, let alone come specifically to steal salt.

Kant was relieved.

And the mood is relatively pleasant.

This is a high-quality natural salt mine, and it was seized and occupied by him in this way.

As long as the lumberyards in the Sanwaya Mountains are arranged, a steady stream of timber is transported to the sentry oasis, plus a large amount of raw coarse salt from white flowers is transported over, and after a little boiling and filtration, it is the fine white salt that can only be enjoyed on the table of the aristocracy.

Basically, it can be counted as a good deal for a million profits, second only to the spice trade.

Kant's face, however, was gloomy.

His mood did not change because of the good news.

On the contrary, in the depths of Kant's seemingly calm eyes, solemnity and solemnity reappeared, and even a little overwhelmed.

The reason is simple.

The one who had just been captured, the so-called high-ranking gnolls, actually brought news from the north of the Narun Desert, and it was not so friendly to him, because the country on the other side of the desert was a kingdom formed by high-ranking gnolls.

He didn't care if the gnolls were high or low.

It's enough to know just one thing.

That's the gnolls, not the kingdom built by humans.

"It's a real nuisance."

Kant's face was gloomy, and he rode forward, only to feel that his eyebrows were faintly swollen.

The new kingdom of Greymane, as well as the coast of Mannheim across the desert, can directly disrupt his strategic deployment.

Originally, he wanted to rely on the Narun Desert as a rear base and slowly plot against the Lion Principality, but who would have thought that the large rear area that he had preset now would become the center of the junction between the two countries.

And it is also possible that it will directly become a place of battleground.

According to the captives, the Greymane Kingdom in the north of the desert is hostile to the Lion Duchy.

Think about it and understand.

Even kingdoms of different races can be friendly, and it would be hell of a thing.

"Fatis." Kant spoke.

Behind him, Fatis tapped the horse's belly and paralleled Kant: "I'm here, Lord Kant." ”

"Do you think it's true?" Kant asked.

Fatis groaned slightly, but still nodded: "In the case of our lack of intelligence, I prefer to believe that this is true, after all, it has its own wisdom, and it is indeed different from these low-level gnolls in the desert. ”

Kant also sighed lightly: "Yes." ”

The two of them subconsciously turned their heads and glanced behind them.

The gnolls who were dressed in decent linen robes and were not inferior to them at all.

If you look closely, you can see that this jackal's hair is vigorous, oily and smooth, and even a little groomed, which is indeed different from those gnolls who are messy and filthy.

The main thing is that it has wisdom.

Knowing the fear and the rules, even if he is captured, he is following with his head down, not resisting.

The gnolls, whom Kant had previously captured, recovered from fear, pounced like angry wolfdogs, were beaten badly, and then starved for a few days before becoming docile.

In other words, after being starved and having no strength, I learned how to calm down.

"We can assume that what it says is true."

Fatis spoke, his tone solemn: "But this means that we have a new enemy. ”

"That's right." Kant exhaled helplessly: "This is exactly what I am irritated about. ”

Being caught between the Lion Principality and the unknown Greymane Kingdom made Kant quite uncomfortable, and just thinking about it made his chest feel like he was suffocating, making him unable to breathe normally.

No one wants to be in the same room with a greedy lion and a ferocious jackal.

And Kant, that's exactly that.

It is still in the middle of the two, although there is no major problem that has erupted yet, but in the future, if there is any abnormal situation between the two, it will be fatal for Kant in the gap.

He was at an awkward point.

If the Greymane Kingdom really intends to cross the desert and attack the Lion Principality, then the first thing to occupy is the Sentry Oasis as an outpost, obtain the most precious water source in the desert, and obtain strategic opportunities and guarantees.

In this way, whether it is attacking the Lion Principality or retreating, the troops of the Greymane Kingdom are at ease.

As for the Lion Principality, whether it is defense or counterattack, it is also inseparable from the oasis of sentry like a bridgehead, as long as the attacking Greymane Kingdom is repelled, these gnolls without water will kill themselves.

So, whoever occupies this place means half of the victory.

"It's not a good thing for me."

Kant shook his head, his eyebrows solemn.

He is the baron of the Naren Desert, and this area is up to him.

It is absolutely impossible to give up the sentry oasis he worked so hard to build and give up "De Herim" to others, because this represents Kant's bottom line, and it is the only one he can survive in this world.

Riding forward, Kant's face returned to calm, but the expectation was extremely solemn: "Fatis, I think after we go back, the development of the sentry oasis should be faster." ”

"Of course, Lord Kant." Fatis nodded, following him closely.

The infantry and cavalry also picked up their pace.

At the very least, the current sentry oasis, the Narun Desert, is owned by Kant.

Intensify the development and use the golden finger to grow his power into a behemoth, even if it is a terrifying force that the troops of the Graymane Kingdom and the nobles of the Lion Principality dare not face, then Kant will become an unshakable existence.

When the time comes, he will not react to the actions of others.

Rather, Kant's order was given, and anyone should be terrified according to his mood.

"There's still time."

Kant thought to himself that this was his only advantage at the moment.

His mind turned quickly: "It is impossible for the troops of the Graymane Kingdom to be dispatched in a short period of time, and it is impossible for the Lion Principality to know that I am developing so quickly in the Sentry Oasis in a short period of time. ”

After a moment of silence, Kant had an idea: "Continue according to the original plan, but it will be accelerated." ”

As long as there was salt, Kant could gain a lot of wealth.

The Duchy of Lion would not refuse, and the much cheaper white salt entered the market, and it would not be stingy with the silver coins in his hand to buy the caravan that Kant intended to form.

46 Svadia heavy cavalry.

41 Svadia light infantry.

As well as the subsequent Swadia troops, as long as there are dinars, they will quickly appear in this world.

Even if the nobles of the Duchy of Lion coveted Kant's acquisition of the salt mines, after several hard-fought wars, Kant's troops cut off their outstretched claws, and everything would be temporarily peaceful.

The key thing is that the current Kant and Cameron, the Duke of the Lion, have not completely severed their relationship.
