Lord of the Oasis

The news of Kant's arrival at Stone Pass was not concealed.

At the same time, Fatis in the executive mansion had already learned of the news, and he personally brought the 10 Sarion lion knights who were stationed here with him, waiting in front of the mansion.

Even Baron Dylan and his knights who were under house arrest left the room and came to the door to greet him in person.

This is not voluntary.

A guard was waiting beside him.

150 Swadian knights, fully armed, stared at them coldly.

Even the Fatis next to him and the 10 lion knights are actually secretly guarding these nobles and knights who originally belonged to the Stone Pass, but should actually be the controllers.

But don't care too much.

They are very little threat.

Now they are wearing ordinary clothes, not to mention chain mail or chain mail, not even a piece of leather.

Not to mention weapons such as spears and long swords, it is even more impossible for these knights who have not finally chosen to take refuge in to obtain them, and they are still alive because they want to ensure the stability of the Stone Pass.

Or the kindness of Fatis, which prevented him from swinging the butcher's knife against the guy who had given up his resistance.

This is also by character.

Rolf would not have so many problems.

It's not pleasing to the eye, and every day I can pull out some knights to behead one by one, killing them softly, completely using brutal means to shock the Stone Pass, the so-called long-term future has not been considered at all!

Each has advantages and disadvantages.

But they have their measure.

Since Fatis has done this, it can guarantee the following arrangements and long-term benefits.

No one is a fool, and no one is really a woman. After all, they came out in the chaotic Calradia continent, and they were the best among them.

150 Swadian knights.

10 Sarion Lion Knights.

With this force alone, Baron Dylan and his more than 50 knights did not dare to act rashly!

Although his face is gloomy and his eyes are full of hatred, Baron Dylan still understands that if something goes wrong, he and others will really die, and many nobles in the Principality of Lions are still waiting for him to go die.

Once he's dead, there's an excuse to officially enter Stone Pass.

The noble court needs to investigate.

After all, it was a baron who died by accident.

You must know that the number of barons in the entire Principality of Lions is estimated to be less than 30. Now one of them has died for no reason. It is simply a slap in the face and a provocation to the entire noble class of the Principality of Lions!

Of course, the most important thing is Baron Dylan's fief, this stone pass!

The only gap in the Sunwaya Mountains, which sleeps like a dragon.

The only way to trade salt!

As long as Baron Kant is expelled and repressed back to the Naron Desert, then this crucial trade route will be in his hands, and a steady stream of silver coins will enter his pockets.

What's more, as long as the Stone Pass is occupied, the salt mines deep in the Naron Desert will have the opportunity to occupy it.

How could those nobles miss such a good opportunity?

Not at all!

It's just that Fatis runs the Stone Pass, that's really prudent.

It has to do with his character.

No unauthorized killings.

On the contrary, it reduced or exempted taxes, and won the hearts and minds of ordinary civilians. It was also winning over those small landlords and small businessmen, so that these ubiquitous little people became their eyeliners inside and outside the Stone Pass.

As for those big businessmen and landowners, as well as some lords and knights, they were secretly guarding them.

Key people are also isolated.

For example, Baron Dylan and his most aptly more than 50 knights were placed under house arrest in the consulate.

Moreover, the entire force of the Stone Pass has been controlled by the few elites he sent out, going directly to the grass-roots and middle-level, and directly controlled by him and 10 lion knights as the high-level.

There are also 150 knights as a quick reaction force, directly dealing with any important matters, it can be said that the management is impregnable.

This not only avoids the danger, but also controls the danger to a very small range.

"coming."

Someone in front of you whispered to remind you.

The faces of the people waiting in front of the official residence changed slightly, and they stood there solemnly.

Only Fatis, as the supreme commander of the official residence of the Stone Pass, stepped forward quickly and came to the middle of the road, watching Kant, who was riding his horse, under the protection of 30 lion knights, bowed respectfully and saluted: "Kant Sir, welcome here!"

"Um."

Kant nodded calmly.

When the horse came near, Fatis immediately reached out to hold the reins, let Kant get down, looked at the crowd lined up to welcome him, smiled and said, "There are many acquaintances."

Fatis also smiled and said: "Yes, they heard that Lord Kant is coming, and they all want to come and greet you in person."

"Not necessarily."

Kant shook his head and smiled.

Looking at Baron Dylan's gloomy eyes, the knights had mixed expressions of joy and sorrow, and laughed and joked to Fatis next to him: "I didn't expect that, my honest knight, I also knew that I was joking."

"This is the truth." Fatis smiled and shook his head, reaching out to welcome Kant into the mansion.

"go in."

Kant nodded, but didn't say much.

A group of people crowded him into the official residence, which was still a narrow passage like a fortress, the slightly dim lord's hall, and the terrified female servants inside.

"Welcome... welcome the arrival of Baron Kant's...!"

The maids saluted in unison.

But no matter how you listen, you can hear the panic in the voice.

Obviously, as servants in the lord's mansion, they know a lot, and they all understand that the former lord has become a prisoner under house arrest. They only laughed in secret and didn't take it seriously at all. They were sent to the desert to eat sand. The Baron Kant, instead, took the initiative.

Those sturdy male servants have all been released out as ordinary laborers, and only these petite and lovely maids are allowed to stay in the official residence, how can they not be frightened.

Especially these maids swept Baron Dylan.

The gloomy and silent old face made them panic to the extreme.

So many people came in at this time.

Who knows what will happen to these petite, powerless maids!

"Let's all go away."

Kant waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.

After becoming a high-ranking person, his observation ability has become more meticulous. Of course, he can guess why this group of maids are frightened, and he can't help but smile slightly: "Go ahead and prepare a banquet, I will entertain the famous squires and squires around here. Knight, the most grand banquet specification."

"Yes... yes, Baron Kant..."

The maids answered in unison.

And just behind these maids, the fat butler who originally belonged to Baron Dylan, also wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a linen towel, and bowed respectfully together.

Sweeping Baron Dylan's more gloomy eyes, he couldn't help shrinking his neck.

The remnants of Baron Dylan are still there.

He is very timid.

But he attracted Kant's attention.

Looking at the repressed and gloomy face of Baron Dylan next to him, Kant said with a smile: "The fat housekeeper is still there, then let him continue to help in the official residence. After all, he is familiar with this place and his work is reliable."

"This this…"

The fat housekeeper's face turned pale when he heard this.

This is equivalent to roasting him on the fire, especially when looking at Baron Dylan's dark face, he didn't dare to say anything while his legs were trembling, but he didn't dare to refuse.

Baron Dylan was, after all, the titular lord of Stone Pass.

is protected by the noble court.

If Baron Kant was forced to withdraw from the Stone Pass and let Baron Dylan regain his power, then based on the fat butler's understanding of Baron Dylan's brutal character, it is estimated that he will not survive the next day, and it is estimated that he can leave a whole corpse. Kaien, the biggest consequence is not to be chopped up and fed to the dog!

But now let him shirk, looking at Baron Kant's apparent control of the overall situation, it is impossible to shirk, and he is also afraid that if he really shirks, he will die as well.

The difference is that he will die sooner rather than later, but he also doesn't want to die so early.

"As ordered."

The fat housekeeper saluted and accepted it with a bitter face.

"Humph!" Baron Dylan snorted coldly beside him, obviously his anger had reached a point.

This butler has been with him for many years.

Betrayal now.

It made Baron Dylan's face extremely ugly.

Most importantly, seeing that the steward had betrayed, and the knights behind him who were originally vassals, their minds were even more difficult to control, and they all had different thoughts.

A vassal knight is different from a housekeeper like a house slave, which is equivalent to a superior-subordinate relationship.

There's nothing wrong with changing a superior.

Just as usual.

Baron Dylan controls Stone Pass, as well as this group of vassal knights.

But now, Baron Kant has entered the Stone Pass, and even Baron Dylan can't compete. How can these knights be willing to be vassals, how can they still stay on this broken ship!

Even the two great knights have been killed, leaving only the bare commander Baron Dylan.

These vassal knights don't care anymore!

"Please sit down, everyone."

Kant doesn't care about the psychology of these people at all.

He went straight to the main seat and sat down, as if he was the real lord of the Stone Pass, and waved to the maids next to him: "Prepare dinner, I want to have dinner with you tonight."

"Yes." The fat housekeeper and the maids responded immediately and turned around to get busy.

"It's our pleasure!"

Those vassal knights also bowed their heads and saluted, with a very respectful and humble attitude.

The person who knows the current affairs is Junjie.

It's just that they didn't notice, or they noticed but didn't care about Baron Dylan, his expression was extremely depressed and gloomy, and he almost looked at them viciously, wanting to devour them alive!

As a lord, Baron Dylan did not treat this group of vassal knights who were still wandering badly.

Although no fief was given.

But the daily routine is not bad!

Now he is flattering Kant in this way, and he has no regard for his old master at all!

Baron Dylan's face was gloomy, and he spoke lightly: "Baron Kant and I are close, and we can arrange whatever we want here, it doesn't matter." After a pause, he looked at Kant: "Compared to other people in the principality If the nobles come here to do this, I think the noble court will have to intervene."
