Lord of the Oasis

That's right.

Kant determined that just behind the dunes to the east, the cowering crowd was the refugees.

Standard Swadian attire.

It looks like the refugees who came to the sentry oasis before.

Although the commoners in this world are dressed similarly to the commoners on Calradia, in fact, as long as you carefully notice it, you can know that the details are completely different, with the style of their own nation.

This made him unable to help frown slightly: "Why so much fanfare."

Those 40 desert robbers have gone out.

Many people pulled out the scimitars around their waists, as if they were in a close-range hand-to-hand combat.

Even if Kant was on the top floor of the Consulate, he could feel that the scabbard had been drawn, and it came from the flickering reflection of the machete that the Sarandians used to do.

But at this moment, a dialog box suddenly appeared on the retina.

[Ding... Temporary task release]

[Temporary mission: Refugees before the war]

[Task reward: 1000 reputation, 1 honor]

[Introduction: War, any refugees who take refuge will be a burden. You are now in such a situation, this group of innocent, poor refugees wants to take refuge in you. Did you choose to accept them? 】

On the dialog are temporary tasks.

Kant frowned slightly.

He could guess why there were refugees. After all, most of the 50 houses were still vacant.

According to the passive nature of the houses, so many vacant houses will definitely attract many homeless refugees and increase the civilian population of the "Drehem" fortress.

Just like now, there are about 300 refugees who are squatting on the ground pitifully.

Without Kant's orders, they simply could not be civilians here.

Or.

It is necessary to determine whether Kant is to complete this temporary task.

The system is right.

During the war, these refugees are all burdens, because there is no chores to do, and there are no daily tasks to arrange. Even if there is a tower that can recruit all these farmers into recruits and put them into the frontal battlefield, it is estimated that they are killing the enemy's troops. It was completely used as cannon fodder to die.

Even if these refugees become civilians, they can only waste food.

Kant narrowed his eyes slightly.

Just when he had made up his mind and wanted to communicate with the system, footsteps came from the stairs behind him.

Fatis walked up quickly, with a solemn report on his face: "Lord Kant, a group of refugees from Swadia came to the fortress, the number is 310, I heard your reputation for kindness and want to be your leader. People, choose to defend against the enemy's attack with you and contribute your meager strength."

"Well." Kant nodded slightly: "I see."

The idea of ​​his communication system paused.

Mind turned slightly.

Kant turned his head to look at Fatis behind him, clenched his fingers slightly, and asked plainly, "Fatis, do you think we need to accept these refugees, after all, we are facing an unknown and powerful enemy."

"I think it is necessary." Fatis replied solemnly.

"Tell me what you think." Kant said.

Phatis, though sympathetic, is not pedantic.

If the "Drehem" fortress really can't bear these refugees, he will never agree to take them in.

Slightly pondered.

Fatis organized the language and opened his mouth to report: "Lord Kant, these refugees will become our reserve soldiers. In the continuous war, they can act as fresh blood and replenish blood for the war-damaged troops, which can well avoid us. Due to the long-term combat, the troops of the army cannot even be replenished after the wear and tear occurs."

"Reservists and war potential." Kant squinted slightly: "That's a good point."

"Lord Kant, this is my idea."

Fatis nodded, and at the same time looked at the timid refugees in the dunes outside. Under the scimitars of those desert robbers, the refugees who seemed very fearful said softly: "And we currently have enough food."

Kant didn't answer, thinking quietly.

After a while, he asked Fatis, "How long can our food last?"

"Three months." Fatis replied.

"3 months?" Kant frowned slightly: "This time is still a little less."

Although the game, the war will only last 4 days 5 days.

But in the real world, wars can last for years.

As the "Drehem" fortress, which is suspended in the sphere of influence of the Principality of Lions, cannot even be regarded as an enclave, it is simply an isolated city without reinforcements. Once the enemy is surrounded, it will probably take several months.

Even if Kant occupies the only source of water.

But he didn't know if there would be something special in this world with extraordinary power.

Just like the [Clear Spring Page], you can get clear drinking water.

Kant clearly understood.

The world he is currently in is not the scientific world on Earth in his previous life.

It's a fantasy world with swords and magic!

Once the city is besieged for too long, perhaps Kant's troops will be short of food. This is the most terrifying thing in war. Countless lessons in history have proved that the lack of food can not only make the morale of the troops drop to the extreme, and even rout. and rebellion are possible.

Naturally, Kant would not take such a risk.

Although he sometimes gambles, he doesn't like to make himself a bargaining chip.

Standing on the top floor, Kant turned to look at the refugees behind the eastern sand dunes.

At the same time, he looked at the half hectare of the city wall below him, and said slowly, "I understand what you mean. Compared with the lack of food, we are actually more short of people."

"Yes." Fatis nodded.

"That's it." Kant made a decision and said to him, "Let these refugees go to the lake to take a bath, change into clean clothes, and prepare food for them. I will accept them."

"You are wise." Fatis rubbed his chest respectfully, and then made arrangements immediately.

At the same time, a dialog box pops up.

[Ding... Temporary task completed]

[Temporary mission: Refugees before the war]

[Task reward: 1000 reputation, 1 honor]

[Introduction: These homeless refugees thank you for your kindness. As your subjects, they are willing to sacrifice their lives for this place, even if the enemy has raised the butcher's knife and rushed into the fortress, they will also use all their strength to resist. When you choose to accept them as subjects, this is their home. 】

1000 reputation and 1 point of honor are instantly credited.

Kant looked calm.

Just below the sand dunes, Fatis is arranging these refugees to go to the lake on the west side.

When they heard the news of being accepted by the lord, they cheered gratefully from below, excited that they had met the benevolent lord, which was their luck.

But Kant was not kind enough to take them in.

Accepting them also doesn't mean you're lucky.

Facing the expeditionary force of the Greymane Kingdom, Kant's "Drehem" fortress stood in the sentry oasis, and it was destined to be the main battlefield for the bloody battle. Since these refugees chose to join Kant to become civilians, they were also unable to escape.

In this way, at a critical juncture, accompanied by the urgent bell, walk up the city wall and line up for defense.

War is always cruel.

It seems that there are a large number of civilians who can survive, but I don't know how many are left.

Although blood and fire will spawn elite soldiers.

But in this process, they will first become corpses, paving the way for this blood and fire road.

All 40 desert robbers dispersed, and only 10 people served as supervisors. Under the arrangement of Fatis, they took these refugees to wash in the small lake in the pastoral area on the west side, making their dirty appearance clean. stand up.

At the same time, find the cleanest clothes to wear in the fleeing package.

The refugees became Swadian farmers again.

With a happy smile on his face.

In the war-torn Calradia continent, there are not many lords who gather refugees and refugees. In the long-term war, these lords first consider the safety of their castles and towns, and that is enough, because these two things are theirs The capital that can compete for hegemony on the mainland and maintain its own authority.

As for the villages and those village bumpkins, they are at most a dispensable addition. As long as they gain the upper hand in the battle and obtain a long-lost peace, there will always be desperate peasants in the front row to defect.

That's why Kant's kindness is so precious.

Like the vast majority of refugees arriving before, these 310 refugees are all men, without any women, children or the elderly, they are all strong laborers.

However, according to the urine of the system, it doesn't matter if there are women.

Kant can only think of the 50 peasant women he currently owns.

Strong arms, strong thighs, and a thick waist like a bucket, all these peasant women can carry logs for hundreds of meters without any effort, and they can be loaded into trucks with coarse salt in their handbags. They are not as strong as men.

A woman who rides and cuts is no different from a man.

"Watch out."

Kant instructed these Reston Rangers and walked down the top floor of the Consulate.

After gaining 1 point of honor, the system mall was opened for him again.

"Start the lottery."

Kant thinking communication system.

On the retina, there is a treasure chest containing colorful rays of light, which is opened with the coin of 1 point of honor.

[Ding...you got a "props package\
