Assechi's body was like a rag bag, picked up by the peasants outside to be incinerated.

There has never been peace between the races.

Kant would not let go of this high gnoll who knew his existence, especially when Assechi showed the intelligence and mind of a human, and it was only a matter of time before he was doomed to die.

Because Kant needed it to tell the story of the Mannheim coast.

When you get to know the details, its true value is gone.

Kant naturally didn't care if the situation in the Kingdom of Greymane and the coast of Mannheim was true or not, he only needed to know that there was such a place on the other side of the Naryn Desert.

It reminded him of the deserts of the Middle East.

Merchants in the Middle East crossed the desert to the shores of the Eastern Mediterranean and resold their goods to European merchants.

This is an extremely lucrative trade.

In particular, Kant has salt mines, which can produce high-quality and large quantities of refined white salt, which can still make this trade continue, because the races on the coast of Mannheim are not only the graymane kingdom of the jackals.

There is also the kingdom of the Jackals, which thrives in the sea trade, and belongs to the elven council of the colony.

Offended the gnolls, and these two.

Kant from the southern part of the Naren Desert is a merchant who has come from afar, a trusted friend, and he is definitely not close at hand, and he will swallow up the other racial forces of the other party at any time.

The principle of long-distance friendship and close attack prevails in any world.

What's more, separated from the Narun Desert, no one would start a war stupidly.

After all, humans are not extremely patient gnolls.

This is why Manid is optimistic, as a Nord who crossed the sea to the continent of Calradia, he understands this, because the desert is not a place where the ocean can be reached by wind and waves.

As long as the Sentry Oasis maintains friendly trade with the races of the Mannheim coast, even the business of the Greymane Kingdom can be done.

In the face of interests, hatred is only a means of politicians.

Of course, just before that, the expeditionary force of the Greymane Kingdom would definitely be defeated in the Narun Desert, and if they occupied the sentry oasis, it would be an absolute defeat for Kant and them.

Kant needs to come up with a victory and prove his worth in front of the forces on the shores of Mannheim.

Cowards cannot protect their interests.

In the Consulate, Kant had a very cautious conversation with Manid and Fatis, since he had decided to embark on this path, he should plan as soon as possible, especially in the face of those gnolls in the Graymane Kingdom, who may attack at any time, and prepare as soon as possible.

While the three of them were talking, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the wooden door.

Salander's rider pushed the door in, saluted respectfully, and reported, "Your Excellency, we have returned from our rounds. ”

"Well, that's good." Kant nodded.

5 Salander riders, leading a cavalry team composed of 40 desert bandits, even if 46 Swadia heavy cavalry encounter, they must be handled with caution, after all, these light cavalry with short javelins can't be beaten in close quarters, and they can run while fighting, harassing like flies, which is very simple for bandits from the Salander Desert.

"We've also captured a bunch of gnolls." The Salander rider continued to report.

"How much?" Kant asked.

"About 120 of them, they were more difficult to catch, and they killed more than 300 gnolls before these guys were scared and surrendered." The Salander rider shrugged his shoulders and said with some regret in his tone: "Otherwise, more prisoners will be captured." ”

But Kant's face was slightly stunned, and he asked rhetorically: "120 prisoners?" ”

"That's right." The Salander rider nodded affirmatively.

Kant couldn't help but praise: "Well done." ”

He had expected that these gangsters armed with scimitars would have no problem slaughtering those small groups of gnolls that were scattered, but he really didn't expect that they would be able to capture 120 gnolls.

According to the calculation of 30 dinars each, it can bring 3600 dinars of craftsmanship to Kant.

"The captive trade is really profitable."

Kant couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time instructed the Salander rider: "Take it to the training ground and take care of it." ”

"Understood." The Salander rider took the order and left.

However, Kant also had some regrets, and said to Manid and Fatis next to him: "I suddenly regret killing that high-ranking gnolla Assechi, I really don't know how many dinars he can sell." ”

"We'll know when the expeditionary force arrives." Manid smiled comfortingly.

The Naren Desert will exhaust the last of the strength of the Gnoll Expeditionary Force, and Kant and the Kant, who are stuck in the fortress, can watch these Gnolls sit back and wait to die, and when they are at their weakest, launch a fatal blow and win the victory.

This was Kant's strategic plan.

"Go out and have a look."

Kant stood up and walked outside.

Manid and Fatis also stood up and followed.

It is indeed good news that so many gnolls have been captured, and when Zhivadin's caravan arrives, it will be able to replenish the deposit of more than half of the dinar that Kant has consumed.

Get out of the Consulate.

Kant walked along the street, the 5-meter-high walls obscuring the view in the distance.

The sea of sand, which could have been admired at any time, is now blocked by the city walls and cannot be enjoyed at any time.

This may also be a pity.

But Kant shook his head with a smile, shaking off the thoughts in his head, if there were no walls, it was estimated that when the Gnoll expeditionary force arrived, he would be forced to withdraw from the sentry oasis, and he would have to lure the wolves into the house, and attract the greedy nobles of the Lion Duchy to barely defeat these Gnoll expeditionary forces that came for plunder and invasion.

It's a safe bet!

Walking to the training ground of the military district on the east side, in the open field, hundreds of gnolls were squatting there with hemp rope tied hand and foot.

Hordes of desert bandits are waiting next to their horses.

There were also a few unruly desert bandits, riding on horses and carrying scimitars, circling around the gnolls captives.

The appearance of showing off his martial arts, telling bad jokes, and carrying meat jokes, immediately caused the desert robber companions to laugh, but made these gnolls look more and more pitiful.

"Why do you think I'm a villain in a drama?"

Kant shrugged helplessly.

Fatis didn't answer, but Manid nodded affirmatively, "Look at these cuties, it's pitiful, I don't think we should abuse them, after all, they're all walking dinars." ”

"I like that." Kant smiled and nodded.

Walking briskly past, the desert robbers also spotted Kant.

One by one, they hurriedly stood by solemnly, and at the same time they all saluted and greeted Kant respectfully, showing great deference.

"You're doing a good job."

Looking at the respectful appearance of these desert bandits, Kant nodded secretly and asked at the same time, "Are there any casualties in the process?" ”

"No, my lord, they're as weak as chicks." There were desert robbers who replied.

Suddenly everyone let out a low chuckle.

However, because Kant is here, they all seem to be very polite, although they are bandits, they are also bandits who have been adapted by Zhao'an, and they don't want to appear in front of their lords because of the bad image they left before.

Kant didn't care about their restrained appearance.

If only there were no casualties.

The light cavalry composed of these desert bandits is currently one of his trump cards, and it is not a good deal to kill a few people at will.

"Look at them." Kant commanded these desert robbers.

Turning his head to Manid behind him, he said: "You come to arrange these prisoners, it is estimated that Zhivadin's caravan is coming soon, and when the time comes, you will directly sell these prisoners to them and purchase more food and tools." ”

"Understood." Manid nodded, he was a businessman by profession, and he was very comfortable with these things.

Kant said to Phatis again: "Go and get busy, arrange the sentry and patrol, and ensure the safety of the sentry oasis." ”

"Yes." Fatis responded.

Basically all was arranged, Kant nodded as well, and headed for the rest of the place, he intended to inspect his territory.

After all, after the upgrade, he wants to take a good look.

Coming to the east gate, Kant walked like a spread on the city wall.

He is also observing his own territory.

There is still a lot of vacant land in the entire sentry oasis, which is reserved for future construction.

Since the funds are not abundant, it can only be used as an open-air warehouse for storing sundries.

200 farmers are busy.

But for the current fortress, the number of civilians is still very small, and a lot of work cannot be carried out for the time being.

For example, the harvesting of the grass occupies a lot of civilians.

In addition, feeding the livestock, processing the forage, and leveling the land all require a lot of manpower.

"There's still a shortage of people."

Kant sighed heavily.

The special effect of the house can attract civilians, but the activation of this special effect belongs to the time when personnel are scarce, and the housing can only be activated when there is space, and now several houses are full of people, and this special effect will not appear at all.

If you want to increase the population, you can only build more houses in addition to temporary system characters.

Kant had expected this.

The area of the entire fortress "Drehem" is about half a hectare.

And that's just the area inside the walls.

And that's enough for the current territory to be built, and most of the buildings are shrouded in it.

When all the buildings are completed, perhaps the walls will not be as empty as they are now, and they will become crowded.

This will also lead to the next step in the evolution of the "Drehem", which will then become a real castle, and the buildings within these walls will become the interior buildings, which will be the heart of the castle's continued expansion.

"Well, the caravan is coming."

Kant found something out of the corner of his eye, and turned his head to see that it was a caravan.

The familiar leader of the caravan rode his horse ahead, followed by six caravan escorts, and 12 sentries guarded five wagons on foot, the same as when he first arrived, the caravan from Zhivadin.
