For Kant, having the help of the tree man was of great use!

After all, this fantasy race has gone beyond the concept of ordinary creatures, even if it is not used for war, even if it is stationed in the castle, it is an existence that makes him feel at ease.

And this bag of natural springs is also an unexpected surprise.

But there are also regrets.

Through detailed communication with Manid.

Kant learned that the peace-loving ancient treemen of the Fagon Forest did not accept the dinar or gold as currency, even ordinary goods.

Or that there is no concept of trade at all!

They are derived from plants.

It is a natural evolution and belongs to the fantasy race.

Therefore, there is no need to eat and drink like flesh and blood, the roots will draw nutrients and water from the soil, the branches and leaves can photosynthesize with the sun, and in addition to wisdom, they are simply ancient trees.

Just like their appearance, they can be regarded as ancient tree spirits.

Gold is likewise worthless.

After all, gold and silver, precious metals, are still minerals.

Just like the stones that humans look at, in the eyes of the tree people, these things that are rooted in the ground and can be seen from time to time are a kind of stone, but with a shiny yellow appearance.

It is true that there is no value to the Treants.

Manid has also communicated.

In the case of trade, the Treants do not accept any trade, except for the Fountain of Nature and certain strange objects with natural powers, as they only accept bartering or gifts to friends.

It's completely ancient and simple natural race.

Same old-fashioned.

Without these needed supplies, the Tree People would not trade at all.

It's not even a barter.

Just as it is impossible for human beings to exchange the gold in their hands with the stones in the hands of others, perhaps in the eyes of the other party, what they have is a high-value item, but it is useless to themselves, that is, it is worthless to themselves!

Kant put aside his thoughts about the Fagong Forest for the time being, after all, with this bag of natural springs, it was enough to last for a long time.

It's better than nothing.

"Next..."

Kant's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop.

The three people at the table were all solemn, and Kant said in a deep voice: "To start recruiting civilians, I need to train a group of troops that are enough to support the battle, the quality can be slowed down, but the quantity must definitely be withstanding." ”

"Understood!" Fatis, as the military commander, immediately responded in a deep voice.

Fingers tap on the tabletop.

Kant turned his head and looked at Manid and Jocelyn: "You two should run to your respective trade points, and now we are not short of dinars, buy more food, arrows, tools and other supplies." ”

"Yes!" Manid and Jocelyn nodded immediately.

Although the Fagon Forest of the Lord of the Rings cannot be traded, the Pander Continent can.

Jocelyn has been able to transport all kinds of supplies through the Pander Continent, and sometimes, it is even more abundant than the Calradia Continent, which is enough to meet the current "Drehem" Castle and quickly hoard supplies.

For example, there is no shortage of food in the castle now, and there are nearly 2,500 soldiers and civilians, enough to eat for more than one month.

But it's still not enough.

Next, the danger encountered by Kant and others may not be solved in one month.

According to Kant's idea, whether it is in the Pande continent, the Calradia continent, or the local lion principality, they will purchase food on a large scale, even if it is at a high price.

In order that in the future, when those dead spirits come, they can have a basic guarantee!

"The city of urns continues to be built."

Kant pondered for a moment.

After thinking about it, he continued to speak: "Dig a moat outside the city wall, and later I will bring a spring to place it inside the moat to ensure the castle's defense." ”

"Lord Kant." Fatis frowned and said, "It's hard to dig a moat outside the city walls, after all, it's a layer of sand. ”

"Sand layer?"

Kant's brow furrowed even more, which he really didn't expect.

The walls and gates were actually built with a solid layer of soil at the bottom, rather than a layer of soft sand, which was a change brought about by the system, just as soil appeared in the field of land.

Therefore, the construction of the city walls and gates was completely built on the soil.

But the perimeter is still sandy.

If you want to dig a tunnel or a moat, the soft sand layer will collapse, and you will have to bury all the dug tunnels, even if they are supported by wooden planks, the spring water will penetrate into the surrounding sand layer, and when it is full of water, the sand layer will collapse.

"Then hold off for a moment." Kant sighed slightly, frowned, and said, "The moat doesn't have to be dug anymore. ”

"Understood." Fatis nodded.

Without digging a moat, there is practically no problem.

Although this kind of fortification is an excellent way to resist the enemy's attack, in the face of the enemy who lacks siege equipment, even the 10-meter-high city wall can be regarded as a moat!

As for the dead and resurrected skeletons, Fatis doesn't think they'll have siege weapons!

This is also the reason why Kant gave up digging moats.

As long as you can resist the death canopy, then the next sea of skeletons, no matter how many there are, can be fearless, and defending the city wall is equivalent to defending this castle!

The four of them deliberated in the Consulate.

There are many challenges to face and need to be handled very carefully.

We talked until late.

Kant let Phatis and them disperse.

However, the details have been discussed almost completely, and the rest is just a matter of implementation.

This is a critical period of time, and the situation is also very tense, at least in Kant's opinion, if it can't hold out this time, the consequences will be even more terrifying than the attack of the Gnoll Expeditionary Force at the beginning!

At least they can escape when they encounter the Gnoll Expeditionary Force.

Right now.

Even if you can't escape, you can't escape!

The Dome of Death will devour any living thing, and the skeletons will kill any living person with hatred.

Once the castle of "Drehem" is captured, those undead who have been expanding, without the slightest physical limitation, morale fluctuations, and even mental constraints, will definitely continue to go to the "Aaron" town.

The Sanwaya Mountains are a moat for ordinary creatures.

But for the undead, it's just a rugged road that takes time, and it can still be traversed.

Let alone.

Kant didn't want to run away either.

Why run away?

This is his inheritance in the Narun Desert, in this world, and he must not give up!

The long river of time flows.

Soon, 7 days passed.

The castle of "Drehem" is still very busy, but everyone seems to be aware of the predicament, and everyone is working at a faster pace, trying to get everything ready before the last moment comes.

The city of urns is under construction, and the construction team from Aaron is in charge.

In 7 days, it was half a small block.

The heavy stone blocks are mainly semi-circular in shape, just fastening the original city gate.

In addition, 4 towers were built in the walls on both sides of the urn city, which could be used for soldiers to be stationed and shoot at the enemy inside and outside the urn city at the same time, and the level of firepower output was greatly increased.

If you want to attack the city gate, you must first attack the urn city.

And even if it is to attack the urn city, the arrow tower and tower of the main body of the city gate, and the arrow tower of the urn city itself are the death defense line!

A rain of arrows will wash the land like a torrential rain!

And the stubborn resistance of the infantry.

In just seven days, almost all of the agriculture and animal husbandry of the entire "Drehem" castle was given way to the military, and 1,000 civilians put down their work and entered the infantry training ground to begin training.

At the end of the week, 1,000 Swadia light infantry appeared in the castle.

They are all level 3 infantry with excellent military qualities.

The kind that can go into battle and line up to kill the enemy!

This is Kant's riot soldiers, the riot ability from the system, so that his troops can appear in a short period of time, a group of soldiers with good equipment level and rich combat experience can appear.

And as the war continues, as long as the army is not completely annihilated, the troops will become more and more elite.

Fight to feed the war.

War brings not trauma, but experience.

As well as gaining experience, they began to level up and become more advanced troops!

As for the Vikia archers, there are fewer of them.

Their recruitment is 10 people per week, fixed recruitment, even if there are dinars, there is no way to recruit more, and they can't use civilians and dinars to pile up step by step like the castle, the infantry training ground, the cavalry training ground and the crossbow training ground.

What the Vikia Range needs is Wikibians.

Kant's castle, on the other hand, was full of Swadians, who had an advantage in recruiting infantry and cavalry.

In fact, it is.

Kant did think so.

1,000 Swadiya light infantry, completely independent army, after a few battles, may be able to upgrade to Swadia heavy cavalry, not even need to enter the cavalry training ground.

After all, training infantry and cavalry costs many times more dinars than ordinary campaign upgrades!

Dozens of them may still be able to hold up.

Once the number is in the hundreds, it is the cost of hundreds of thousands of dinars.

Even the current Kant can't afford it.

Even if the salt trade is on track, it will be expensive to maintain the current number of troops.

Add to that the cost of trade and procurement, the cost of building and construction, and all kinds of wear and tear, which add up to hundreds of thousands of dinars per week, and cannot be easily wasted.

1000 Svadia light infantry, enough to use.

Upgrading to 1,000 Swadia heavy cavalry is also enough to form a heavy cavalry group.

Kant was on the lookout.

However, on the last day of the month, the desert bandits from the Central Post Station arrived quickly, and appeared in the Consulate with a nervous expression, bringing information.

The Central Post Station spotted the arrival of troops from the Duchy of Lion.

The number is 1000 people.

And the leader is none other than Baron Dylan at the Solid Stone Pass!

In the Consulate, Fatis, Manid and Jocelyn, who had received the news, had already come to the hall, and Kant made a decision directly, holding his king's sword, and ordered in a deep voice: "Fatis follow me." ”

"Yes!" Fatis nodded immediately.

Kant turned to Manid and Jocelyn and then ordered, "You stay and watch the house, and this battle plan, I will bring with me the newly recruited 1,000 Swadian light infantry, as well as all the knights who exist in the castle itself." ”
