Lunch in progress.

Daily quota per person, sliced brown bread, toasted oily hand-pulled air-dried meat, plus 1 bowl of cabbage soup mixed with flour, and finally 2 dates per person as an extra dessert.

As a decent and honorable lord, Kant added extra spices to his food.

It looks like the food is all good.

There are meat and vegetarian dishes, thick soups and staple dishes, as well as desserts.

For the average person, it's nothing less than a feast.

Kant knew a lot about this.

In the Lion Duchy, only citizens who have decent jobs in the towns, or freedmen in the countryside who own their own farmland, can have additional funds to enjoy such a delicacy.

Backward productivity is not enough to support everyone to eat good food.

It's just that Kant has a system, with the exception.

"I'm full."

Putting down the knife and fork in his hand, Kant calmly wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.

However, between his eyebrows, he was also a little helpless.

He's had enough of the food.

It's not that it's not delicious, but it's been eating it for 8 days, which makes him a little tired.

Even if his food was carefully cooked and spices were added, the familiar taste of three meals a day for several days in a row also made his tongue protest and want to change his tricks.

Or change the type of food.

Bread, air-dried meat, cabbage.

And, of course, sun-dried dates.

When you put the fluffy dates in your mouth and chew them, the enticing sweetness fills your mouth.

But Kant shook his head slightly.

No matter how good things are, they will feel bland and tasteless if they are eaten often.

Put down the handkerchief.

Kant walked towards the second floor of the Consulate and turned his head to the Swadia militia who were still eating lunch in the Consulate: "Remember to be vigilant during the lunch break. ”

"Understood." The militiamen shouted in unison.

Although it was lunch, the guard work in the sentry oasis was actually not left behind.

In particular, the watchtower next to the consul hall has been built, and it is 8 meters high, and after going up, it is easy to observe the distance of thousands of meters around it, which provides great convenience for their vigilance work.

The Naren Desert is relatively flat and not a complex mountain environment.

"Hmm." Kant nodded and returned to the room on the second floor with relief.

He believes in their sense of responsibility.

At least these Svadian soldiers have never been in trouble, and Kant has never found them lax.

After all, they are from the continent of Calradia, a miserable place that has been war-torn for a long time, and anyone who is careless and lax is probably already buried in the soil and has become the remains of witnessing the development of history.

Lying on the bed, Kant closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Although I am not busy, thinking still consumes energy.

The sun was blazing outside the window, and the temperature rose.

The sentry oasis, which reaches 50°C, also becomes silent as lunch ends.

Everyone rested.

This is a hard-won lunch break, and after recuperating their spirits, there is still a lot of work waiting for them in the afternoon.

Including military training.

and the training of the Swadia militia, recruits, and peasants in tactical coordination.

The threat of the gnolls never went away, and Kant never let his guard down, always assuming possible enemies, so last week, he organized everyone to start training.

The training in the system can increase experience, so that the class can be upgraded.

However, it requires a [training ground], or the leader has his own [training] skills.

This is the real world.

Kant naturally does not have data-based skills, so he cannot upgrade his troops in daily training.

The current "Dehrim" is still a village, and there is no [Training Ground] as a building that can increase experience during training.

But that doesn't stop them from training.

Although it is not possible to increase experience, it is impossible to upgrade a level 0 farmer to a level 1 recruit.

But it can train combat queues, as well as tactical formations.

The real world, the fight of flesh and blood, has higher requirements for tactical formations, because this is not a chaotic battle in the game, which can be solved by rushing up.

At present, Kant already has a force of nearly 200 men.

100 Swadia farmers.

30 Swadia recruits.

35 Svadia militia.

17 Desert Bandits (1 can be recruited this week).

and Kant.

There are 183 people in total, all of whom are fighters who can fight desperately to protect their homeland.

Among them, there are also 10 special Swadia militiamen.

The previous battles had already given these 10 militiamen enough experience, and as long as Kant paid the dinars needed for the upgrade, they could evolve to a more advanced level 3 class at any time.

For example, Svadia light infantry.

As well as Svadia guerrilla shooters.

However, for the current Kant, it is not a good thing to rush to upgrade.

Because the damage overflows.

In other words, the current Swadia militia, these level 2 troops can fully deal with the primitive race of jackals, and the effect is very good, and the cost performance on the battlefield is extremely high.

Equipped with iron-clad armor and iron-clad helmets.

Weapons include heavy spears with iron at the front, armor-piercing one-handed fighting hoes, and hard fan shields.

And there are hunting crossbows.

Although this kind of crossbow commonly used by hunters is less powerful than the light crossbow in Kant's hand, and the killing distance is only 80 meters away, it is still a long-range attack method and is a weapon worthy of recognition.

That's why it's said that the Svadia militia is very cost-effective.

It's an all-round class.

Even on the frontal battlefield of the Swadia Kingdom, these militias can temporarily act as a line of defense to withstand the onslaught of the enemy if they simply defend and stick to the spot.

What's more, in the face of those gnolls, their value can be better reflected!

Kant thought about it.

As long as they can win the second attack of the Gnoll Horde, which will appear at any time, Dehrim's forces will usher in a new qualitative change.

More peasants will be upgraded to Swadia recruits.

The same number of recruits will be upgraded to the Swadia militia.

And even the stronger Swadia light infantry.

In Kant's view, the war that others fear is an alternative path of development, the system is to feed war with war, and the so-called peaceful development is only a rhetoric before success, and it is an illusion that paralyzes the enemy.

If Kant had 100 Swadian knights, he would not hesitate to declare war on the gnolls.

With high mobility of cavalry.

and the terrifying power of the Svadian Knights.

In this flat desert, the forces of the gnolls are carved through alive, slaughtering them between the dunes.

It's just a pity that he didn't have 100 Svadia knights.

"Whew-"

Just as Kant's thinking diverged, a dull trumpet sounded suddenly.

It seems to shake the soul.

"What's going on?"

Kant opened his eyes in an instant, and the whole person regained consciousness.

He knew that it was the sound of the horns of the sentries on the watchtower, and when it did, it meant that something unusual was possible.

For example, the discovery of a troop of gnolls.

Or find suspicious troops.

All in all, for Kant, it was a defensive posture!

Walk quickly out of the room and out of the Consulate.

Spear-armed recruits and militia have been assembled.

And on the side of the street, 100 peasants with long-handled scythes are ready.

The spirit of war is strong.

"What happened?"

Kant held a light crossbow with a grim face and walked out of the hall.

The militia at the top of the watchtower quickly ran down and explained to Kant: "My lord, I have noticed a strange cavalry unit in the south, moving towards the oasis where we are. ”

"Strange cavalry troops?"

frowned slightly, and Kant's eyes were even more solemn.

Turning his head to look south, but could only sweep the seemingly endless sand dunes, he asked slowly, "How many." ”

The militia replied: "50 cavalry, and 1 carriage." ”

"Hmm." Kant nodded, but his brow furrowed even more.

Naturally, the gnolls do not have cavalry troops, and even if they do, they will not appear in the south.

Because to the south is the Duchy of Lion.

Kant's hometown, the famous martial country, the human kingdom with the strongest cavalry.

"Everyone."

With a wave of his hand, Kant gave the order: "Get ready for battle!" ”

"Understood!" Sentiment was high.

Kant would not be discouraged by the presence of cavalry troops from the Lion Principality, knowing that even the nobles in the Principality sometimes clashed fiercely over territory and wealth.

Skirmishes were common among the various nobles.

So he directly commanded the 17 desert bandits who were riding on desert horses at the entrance of the street: "Now you are going to investigate, no hand-to-hand combat is allowed, and return as soon as the reconnaissance is completed!" ”

"Yes, sir." The desert bandits nodded.

Reconnaissance was their forte, and as soon as they kicked the horse's belly, 17 people rode out and scattered in the vast sea of sand.
