After three weeks apart, the Rivading caravan finally returned on the first day of the month.

The sturdy horses snorted and pulled the ropes hard, driving the studded wheels across the sand, leaving deep ruts, and it was evident that the wagons were fully loaded with goods and that they had prepared all the supplies to trade.

Guarding the gates was a detachment of Swadia light infantry, and after carefully examining the wagons, they waved them to the ground after making sure there were no anomalies.

Although they know each other, they are still extremely wary of these Wikibians.

This is the habitual thinking of the continent of Calradia, and the caravan leader is not surprised by this, as he passes by the castles and towns of the Kingdom of Svadia, who makes the Kingdom of Vecchia a hostile country.

Take the caravan to the Consulate.

The caravan leader turned his head to look at the newly emerging buildings around him, a look of surprise on his face.

It can really be called a thing or a person.

Before leaving, he remembered that the sentry oasis was still a small village that was almost simple, but in the blink of an eye, three weeks later, when he returned here, he found that it had become a fortress that had begun to take shape.

The stone walls and gates were strong and sturdy, guarded by the garrison's light infantry.

The interior building is clean and well-planned.

"That's..."

The caravan leader's afterglow swept over the clearing beside the gate on the east side.

Fatis is arranging a mission.

Heavily armored and heavily armoured, Swadian soldiers lined up in a neat queue to listen to orders.

46 Swadia heavy cavalry, 50 Swadia infantry, although the sturdy and strong appearance is less than 100 people, but the visual impact it brings makes those guards and sentries in the caravan can't help but shrink their heads, and they seem to have palpitations.

This is a true elite of a hundred battles, capable of penetrating powerful units of enemy formations head-on.

At the same time, they also found 40 desert bandits on the training ground.

The desert bandits who were guarding the captives were also staring at their caravan, many of them smiling fiercely as they raised their scimitars.

Occupational habits are not so easy to change.

This made the caravan even more nervous.

For these well-known ruthless bandits in the Salander Desert, the 12 caravan sentries all subconsciously clenched the spears in their hands, and their actual combat effectiveness was not much better than that of the recruits, and in the face of so many desert bandits, even if they resisted desperately, they would not be able to live long.

This is the same level of bandits as the Snow Bandits in Vekia.

The caravan traveled north and south, and although it was fortunate that it had never encountered these bandits, it was always in the tavern that he had heard about the bad deeds of others.

It is good luck to be robbed of property by desert robbers, and even the water is robbed, which is really miserable.

"Cheer up."

The caravan leader in front snorted coldly.

He had served as a rider in the Kingdom of Vekia, and he had his own guts and courage, and when he saw that the members of his caravan were so cowardly, he couldn't help but reprimand in a low voice: "This is Lord Kant's territory, they are Lord Kant's cavalry!" ”

"Ahh Ah yes. ”

Hearing these words, the caravan guards and sentries came to their senses.

But in the face of the malicious eyes of those desert bandits, their hearts were still pounding, and the aftermath of the past still scared them.

The caravan leader could only sigh at this, feeling lucky that he had not been raided by bandits before.

However, the secret sigh in his heart was not revealed.

Holding his war horse and walking forward quickly, he looked at the figure standing in front of the door of the Consulate, and hurriedly bent down to salute, and said in an extremely respectful tone: "Dear Lord Kant, it is really an honor to see you again. ”

"I'm just as happy to see you." Kant replied with a smile.

He had a good impression of the caravan leader who could stand up and choose to fight in the event of a territorial crisis, so he asked in a more approachable tone, "What did you bring this time?" ”

"It's a lot of food."

The leader of the caravan immediately replied, "There are all kinds of tools, as well as oil in clay pots, and horses of linen, which are all the supplies you need now, and no other luxury liquor has been brought." ”

"That's what I need most." Kant nodded and smiled.

"That's great." The leader of the caravan also bowed his head happily, looking more respectful.

Kant smiled: "Come in, just let them do the other little things." At the same time, Kant also turned to the guard next to him and said, "Go find Manid, I think they will have a common topic." ”

"Understood." The Svadia infantry, who acted as a guard, took the order, turned and strode away.

"Manid? A genius businessman from Nord? The caravan leader was stunned.

Kant smiled and asked, "Have you heard of it?" ”

The leader of the caravan smiled wryly: "Yes, Manid is a model for our caravan, once he provided supplies to both sides in the war between the Kingdom of Vikia and the Kurgit Khanate, and the profits he made were quite terrifying, and spread throughout the continent. ”

"Hmm." Kant raised his eyebrows slightly.

Selling supplies to both warring sides, how is this picture a little familiar...

Shaking his head, Kant didn't think so much, and said to the caravan leader: "If you are busy with the caravan's affairs, then come in, I also plan to discuss the procurement of food with you." ”

"Yes, sir." The leader of the caravan watched Kant walk into the consul hall.

At the same time, he hurriedly beckoned, so that the caravan behind him hurriedly moved.

As an excellent caravan leader, of course, he understood that he should not let the lord wait too long, otherwise it would be a serious faux pas, and the relationship he had cultivated with great difficulty would become blunt.

Thankfully, the grocery store isn't that far away.

The leader of the caravan led the men over, carried all the goods, and placed them neatly on the empty counters and shelves, and it seemed that he was quite well prepared and had come prepared.

Soon, the grocery caravan was back in business.

Kant returns to the Consulate.

"Grain."

Sitting in a chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop.

The food problem is a problem that he needs to solve as soon as possible, and it has not been delayed for too long.

Although there is no shortage of food stored in the sentry oasis now.

But it's not worrying either.

With the rapid increase in all kinds of personnel in the current sentry oasis, the consumption of food is also increasing.

In particular, the food consumption of the troops is even more terrifying.

Not only are the soldiers all big stomachs because of their high physical strength and high activity, but even the war horses riding under their crotch must also be supplemented with bread and grains at any time to supplement the nutrients with less content of the sagebrush.

The most important thing is naturally the expeditionary force of the Graymane Kingdom.

If these high-ranking gnolls really made it through the Narun Desert to get here, the sentry oasis would inevitably be surrounded.

After falling into a stalemate, they can hold on to Kant with full confidence.

There is plenty of food and water, as long as Kant is not stupid, the troops are not slack, no matter how the gnolls attack, with these elite troops who are extremely loyal to Kant, they can also hold this fortress.

It's like what happened on a small island in the Eastern Mediterranean in the 16th century.

Less than 200 Knights Templar defended a small castle on an island, and survived the frenzied attack of 20,000 Ottoman troops, although this had a lot to do with the geographical advantage, when the Ottoman forces finally chose to besiege it, the Templars, with plenty of food and water, were not afraid to hold on, and still held on for several years, becoming a nail in the coffin for European powers in the Eastern Mediterranean.

This is a historical battle that Kant once understood, and it is a living example.

Crossing the Naren Desert means that the supply line of the Greymane Kingdom is stretched very long, and even on the verge of collapse, and it can only be replenished by going to the territory of the Human Kingdom to plunder.

Therefore, Kant's choice to defend is like sealing the idea of plundering the expeditionary force of the Graymane Kingdom.

The walls are clear, waiting for work, and the ancestors of the Celestial Empire are all playing with the leftovers.

At that time, Ban Chao of the Han Dynasty was in the capital of the Western Regions, and he didn't rely on this trick to dominate the countries of the Western Regions, and then sent light cavalry to harass and cut off the supply line of the Kushan Empire's expeditionary force, and easily won the victory.

This is the right tactic for history.

As for these high gnolls.

Kant didn't think that their supply lines would be strong enough to cross the entire Naren Desert to supply their expeditionary force, and if so, the so-called Greymane Kingdom would still need to be suppressed by the lizardmen and elves to develop here?

As he was thinking, the wooden door of the Consulate was opened, and Manid walked in.

Also coming in was the leader of the caravan of Zhivadin.

"Lord Kant."

The two respectfully greeted Kant.

"Hmm." Kant nodded, but he didn't care and stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down." ”

"Thank you for your kindness."

After thanking each other, they sat on either side of the bench.

The peasants, who were also servants, also came with breakfast, each on a chair, consisting of toasted bread, roasted dried meat, grilled sausages, and boiled antelope meat and cabbage bisque.

It's still the same as before, except for fresh antelope meat and a plate of fine white salt.

It's just breakfast time.

The merchant leader who came in a hurry also did not eat breakfast, and when he saw this, he quickly got up and saluted respectfully and thanked him: "Thank you for your generosity, respected Lord Kant." ”

"It's fine, just a little extra gear." Kant smiled and shook his head.

The three of them ate breakfast quickly, and they were also chatting about the interesting facts they knew.

However, it was mostly Manid and the caravan leader who were talking, and Kant was eating and listening, combined with the game content he had been exposed to, and when he heard some funny passages, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
