Chapter 011. A stronghold of desert bandits

These 10 Swadia farmers have a clear division of labor.

Some people went to the Consulate Hall and brought wooden ladders, while others climbed up to the roof and brought rattan baskets, and at the same time found scissors to cut the strings of date palm branches for easy picking and drying.

Dates are still in their freshness and need to be treated with care.

Of course, these farmers still understand.

After all, they are all good farm workers who come out of the fields, and as long as they are careful and careful, this is not a problem for them.

This task was given to these peasants by Kant at ease.

Now he has other things.

For example, the Desert Bandit Stronghold.

The reward for this quest was obtained by Kant and the cavalry of the Duchy of Lion yesterday evening, who risked their lives to exterminate the gnoll tribe in the sentry oasis.

According to the judgment of the system task, this kind of mission that has the danger of annihilating the whole army, the rewards obtained are all at a high-level level.

"It's a bit of a curiosity."

In Kant's mind, the mind was already connected to the system in an instant.

On the retina of the eye, the item's data card appears at the same time, and it can be clearly seen that it is a sandstone house, and there are soldiers leading horses, wearing leather armor and holding spears passing by at the door.

There is no doubt that this should be what the desert bandits are literally called.

However, Kant was slightly stunned.

"Desert bandits?"

He couldn't help frowning slightly, as if he had thought of something.

In the previous system, in the territory of the Sultanate of Salander, there was a wild monster with this name, and they roamed the vast sand sea in groups, plundering caravans and villagers, and belonged to bandits who did all kinds of evil.

Even in the early stages of the game, it is rare for the sensible player to get involved in the desert where these desert bandits are infested.

"Are these really guys?" Kant swallowed and foamed.

Surprise flashed in his eyes.

If it was really those bandits in the system who were whistling through the desert like a whirlwind, then it would definitely be a huge reward for the current sentry oasis, even more precious than the 20 date palms that could provide extra rations.

His heart was excited, but Kant's face remained calm.

As a child, he learned how to hide his true emotions with calmness.

Walk briskly towards the south side of the Sentry Oasis.

After bypassing the springs, the area where the Consul Hall was located was the residential and handicraft area of the future "Dehrim", which was the area he had divided, and if trade flourished in the future, it would even develop into a commercial area.

The area on the north side, where the 6 poplar trees and 20 date palm trees are located, is purely agricultural.

Although there is not even half an acre of arable land in the Sentry Oasis, considering the future development of the mining estate, without its own grain output, it is equivalent to being choked by others.

Kant naturally did not give up agriculture, even if the yield was very low.

Even the idea in his mind, if he had the opportunity, would send personnel to the Lion Duchy on the other side of the Sanwaya Mountains to dig up a large amount of dirt and bring it back, using this stupid method to increase the arable area of the Sentry Oasis.

After all, the journey from the Sentry Oasis to the Sanwaya Mountains takes about 3 days for cavalry, and only 7 days with carriages and infantry.

The distance of a week is still bearable for Kant's eagerness to develop an oasis!

"Your Lord."

Near the Consulate, 10 Swadia militiamen are on standby.

Seeing Kant coming, they bowed their heads respectfully to show their respect.

"Hmm."

Kant nodded, and did not make any extra arrangements, but responded: "Stay vigilant." ”

The threat of the gnolls was still lingering in the shadows, not only the 10 Swadian militia on standby, but even the 20 Swadian recruits patrolling the surrounding sand dunes, and if there was a situation, they would quickly retreat to the vicinity of the Consulate and join the 50 Swadian peasants to defend against the enemy.

Although there were only 80 of them, as long as they maintained the courage to fight for their homeland, they all had long-handled weapons in a tight formation, and even 200 gnolls could not defeat them.

What's more, Kant is about to usher in his new army.

Desert bandits.

Coming to the side of the Consulate, Kant carefully examined the terrain.

As long as this [Desert Bandit Stronghold] is confirmed, then a second building will appear in the Sentry Oasis, and this building is also related to the combat class that Kant can currently have.

"System, built on the east side of the Consulate."

Kant finally decided.

And as his words fell, a large amount of data instantly appeared on the retina in his eyes.

Next to the Consulate Hall in front of him, a building made of simple stone and wood quickly appeared, and it was still not 2 seconds, and the building that was still in the form of a data card before was truly embodied in this world.

From the system, a desert bandit stronghold.

Kant's gaze saw that the building was a single house built of stone and wood.

The visual area is about 100 square meters, about 3 meters high, which is much smaller than the 6-meter-high consul hall next to it, but on the side of the house is more than 20 square meters, and the stables made of wood are built.

"Bang."

A few slight snorts came, but Kant's expression was slightly stunned.

"Is there really anyone?"

Kant's eyes twitched slightly, and he confirmed that he had heard correctly.

Because the obvious snort just now is precisely the sound made by the common movements of horses, which means that there are indeed horses in the stable, and it also means that there are real people in this building.

The narrow wooden door was pushed open from the inside.

Five sturdy men in linen robes and spears in their hands were walking out quickly, their faces tanned by the sun were full of hideous horizontal flesh, but their expressions were extremely respectful.

"Humble us, we salute you, noble lord." These five people saluted respectfully.

"Well, that's good."

Kant nodded slightly, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The joy in the depths of his eyes was extremely strong, because he guessed correctly, these 5 sturdy men were the desert bandits who had once been in groups in the Salander Sultanate, rampaging like a sandstorm!

Beneath the seemingly rudimentary linen robes, he was wearing fine cowhide armor.

Although he was holding a 2-meter spear in his hand, the leather round shield and flange hammer used in close combat were hung on his waist, and in the bulging leather bag on his back were four short javelins neatly stacked.

Coupled with the desert horses in the stables, it is their reliance on the sand and sea.

Whether it's charging with a gun on their horse or throwing a heavy and deadly short javelin around the enemy, it's their specialty.

In close-quarters combat, the Skinned Round Shield can withstand enemy attacks, while the flange hammer, which is designed to pierce armor and is mainly based on blunt hits, will make more well-equipped enemies feel the threat of death.

"Good, really good."

With a smile on the corner of Kant's mouth, he asked, "Are there only 5 of you in this stronghold at the moment?" ”

"Yes, my lord." The five desert bandits nodded.

At the same time, one of them explained: "If you are willing to pay 30 dinars per person, then 1 desert bandit will follow you every week, and your maintenance fee in the future will only be 12 dinars per week." ”

"It feels good." Kant nodded.

Although the recruitment cost of 30 dinars is high, and the maintenance cost of 12 dinars per week is also expensive, in Kant's view, these are acceptable, because the value of these fierce bandits lies here.

This is the best of the Tier 2 classes.

For example, the level 2 troops currently owned by Kant, 10 Swadia militia, are much stronger in comparison.

It can even be said that if the tactics are properly arranged, these 5 desert bandits can easily kill all 10 Swadia militiamen without losing a single person, even if these militiamen are armed with heavy iron-clad spears.

This is the murderous skill they have honed in the harsh desert.

Kant asked, "Can you recruit at the moment?" ”

The desert robbers did not continue to answer, but became very quiet after explaining, because then it was the system that took over them and answered Kant's question.

"Can be recruited."

The system's prompt tone appeared in Kant's ears: "Do you choose to recruit?" ”

"Recruitment." Kant nodded.

[Recruitment: Desert BanditsΓ—1]

[Costing 30 dinars]

A tooltip appears, and the wooden door is pushed open again in the sandstone and wood stronghold.

A desert bandit who was almost dressed walked out and stood briskly with five other companions, looking very strong, although he had a flattering look on Kant's face, his eyes still had a bandit-like scratification when he swept to the other areas.

It's as if you're going to loot at any moment.

"With these six desert bandits, it's basically a lot safer."

Kant looked at them with great satisfaction.

These six desert bandits are no ordinary infantry, but real cavalry, and armed with spears, they can be used as fierce assault cavalry, which can brazenly tear through the enemy's line and crush the enemy's troops in the charge.

It's really simple to deal with those gnolls from the primitive tribal period.

"Your Excellency, Your Lord."

Just as Kant was secretly satisfied, a hurried shout came from behind him.

Turning his head slightly, he saw a Swadia farmer carrying a dilapidated clay pot in his hand, walking quickly towards this side, still shouting, "We seem to have found something!" ”
