Lord of the Oasis

The food was exquisite and the luncheon ended in the late afternoon.

During the banquet, Kant also had a detailed discussion with James about future planning, especially for the new village to be built at the estuary on the other side of the ancient passage.

This is the third village of Kant.

It is also the third force stronghold, a powerful castle that will be exhibited soon.

That's right, that new village, Kant intends to build a castle with a more significant military use.

This is related to the distribution of forces. After all, at the mouth of the river is the junction of the Principality of Lions, the Kingdom of Silver Plate, and the Wilderness. There are also many hidden dark red sects, water pirates in the Resniston River, and fleets of human nations. hidden power.

It can be said that the location of the estuary is equivalent to the cusp of the storm.

Villages are easy to build.

Exhibition is also easy.

However, it is not so easy to survive the malicious attacks and attacks of many forces.

Even tends to be difficult!

The city is a residential building cluster. Although there are also city walls and arrow towers as shell protection, the defense capability is still slightly weaker than a castle that can be armed with the most advanced and strongest city defenses, compared to all military building clusters.

The towering castle is the main body, and there are walls and arrow towers on the periphery as defense lines.

even if broken.

The castle itself can continue to resist stubbornly.

In the feudal era, the castle system in Western Europe was simply a tortoise shell integrating defense.

In the cold weapon era, even with an army of millions and all kinds of siege equipment, it would be useless to face a well-built high-level castle, even if only a thousand people were stationed there.

The advantage of the number of people has no effect in the face of this kind of building made of huge stones.

Even with siege equipment.

Cold weapon era.

There is no army that can easily defeat the defenders of the castle and completely occupy this military building that has an absolute position in the history of defense when the defenders are united and there are reinforcements.

Only in the age of hot weapons, when artillery became available, did this phenomenon end.

But at that time the castle had already evolved into a bastion.

The city walls are no longer high.

But it's heavy.

The main body of the castle is no longer huge.

But the scattered military buildings can be closely linked.

Cooperating with the artillery of the defenders and the muskets held by the infantrymen, with a well-built bastion, it is no problem to resist dozens of times the enemy army. It is also a powerful performance of the European city defense.

The current Kant troops are elite, but the number is small, and short-term training cannot achieve the numerical advantage.

This is incomparable with those forces with historical background.

Kant worries about crowd tactics.

If you say, there are 10 natives in exchange for the life of 1 system soldier.

For Kant, it is a loss-making business, because among his forces, the current army is only 10,000 people, which is his limit. After all, his population is only 25ooo.

Equal to 2.5 civilians to support 1 soldier.

Most of them are cavalry!

It can be said like this.

If it weren't for the steady stream of dinars that the salt trade brought to Kant.

If it weren't for the countless cavalry and slashing worlds behind him, Kant would have collapsed on his own in the face of the huge military force that he was struggling to maintain, and completely lost the cost of being able to conquer this world.

Now, Kant did not directly start the swallowing trend to sweep the lion principality, which is why he was worried.

Once the existing trading system is destroyed.

The planned colonial dumping system had not yet been established.

The blow to Kant will be fatal. He can't maintain such a huge army. With a maintenance cost of nearly 100,000 per week, Kant can't take risks easily. This is really like dancing on the edge of a cliff.

100,000 dinars per week.

The conversion is 400,000 dinars per month.

The salt trade is carried out every two weeks with a harvest of 250,000 dinars.

The monthly financial income is 500,000 dinars,

However, after removing the 400,000 military expenditures for maintaining the military, and removing all the daily food consumed by the military and civilians, as well as miscellaneous expenses, there are basically not many dinars left.

The possibility of continuing the violence is not very big in Kant's plan.

certainly.

Violent soldiers must be violent soldiers.

Next, to deal with the siege of many enemies, it will be a tragic bloody battle.

Kant needs to quickly establish a new village at the estuary position, and at the same time upgrade the village to a fortress, and finally upgrade it to a castle in the shortest possible time.

This is what can firmly hold the local rely.

But others will not pretend to ignore it.

The estuary location is very close to the Riesniston River.

It can be said that the merchant ships on the Risniston River, as long as they look to the north, can find new villages at the mouth of the river, not to mention even larger fortresses or huge castles.

It is estimated that when the fortress is built, the enemy's offensive is about to come.

Therefore, Kant has to deliberate carefully.

Just build the village.

Then he must supply with all his strength and upgrade this village to the peak level of the fortress.

If you are lucky, before the group of enemies can react, they will upgrade the fortress to the early stage of the castle.

"Aaron" is a city in the Sanwaya Mountains.

Will be the backing of the new village!

Talk all night.

Kant and James had been negotiating until late at night before they each went to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, there were desert robbers stationed at the Yamaguchi Post Station, who had already galloped on their horses, marching very far in the Naron desert, preparing to go to the "Drehem" castle in the sentry oasis to convey the order.

"Drehem" castle is temporarily garrisoned by Manid and Jocelyn.

There are currently no exceptions.

But they didn't let their guard down either.

Manid, in particular, has completely delegated the salt trade to Jocelyn, the former caravan leader, and asked him to trade salt with the Stone Pass instead of him.

As for Manid, he led the troops to patrol the Naron Desert.

Centered on Sentinel Oasis.

Go up to the Salt Mine Station and go down to the Central Station.

A large number of light cavalry are mixed with a small number of elite heavy cavalry, and the rolling torrent is extremely deterrent.

But there was an effective situation, especially in the Salt Mine Station. These cavalry defeated a lot of small skeleton cavalry that were still trying to infiltrate here, and protected the re-established Salt Mine Station.

And just near the central station, many spies of all kinds sent by the Principality of Lions were also swept away.

Now the Narun Desert is already in danger.

Kant's arrangement is to tear open a hole in this besieged predicament, let his own power extend, and truly touch the side of the human kingdoms, using the suspicion and instability of those human forces, In exchange for your extreme display in balance!
