The Calradia continent does not have a large demand for gems.
Although the price is expensive, due to their own culture and perennial wars, hard currencies such as gold and silver are what the nobles are enthusiastically pursuing. After all, at some point, these yellow and white cuties can be directly used as dinars. use.
As for the shiny gemstones, the direct value is quite different.
Most of them are inlaid on engagement rings and necklaces, which are the best accessories for certain ladies or ladies.
That's why the caravan leader from Zhiwading seemed a little embarrassed. After all, when he came to this miraculous place, Kant was extremely kind to him, and he could feel it himself.
If he was on the mainland of Calradia, he would be like this to some lords with a bad personality. He would probably take his elite troops to plunder his caravan after turning around and leave. If he was lucky enough to survive, he would report it to his city lord. Even if the responsibility is pursued, it is just arbitrarily shirked to the robber, and there will be no slightest responsibility on the robbery lord.
"I'm sorry, my lord." The caravan leader sighed softly.
Kant chuckled: "No need to apologize, this is none of your business."
This is a rule from the system, and it is impossible for the caravan leader to change anything. Moreover, these caravans do not purchase low-quality gemstones, which does not mean that merchants from the Lion Principality or other races will not collect them.
Such a shiny cutie, although broken and cracked, still has a little value after cutting.
Handing over the 7 light yellow gems and 2 light blue gems to Manid, Kant said with confidence: "Keep these cuties away, we may use them later."
"It will definitely." Manid nodded, carefully putting it in his pocket.
All elemental giants are dealt with.
If you want to summon the next time, you have to wait six days.
Kant thought that these elemental giants were extremely powerful from the few words in the college books, but now he seems really disappointed. He was shot in two rounds by the Ravenston ranger, and he couldn't help it. Shake your head.
Some were puzzled by the weakness of the elemental giants, while others were amazed at the strength of Ravenston's ranger.
But he didn't overthink it.
If the extraordinary power in this world is really powerful, then the government of this world is not dominated by nobles, but by mages who have completely mastered the extraordinary power.
The ruling system is established for the strong, not to protect the weak.
In some novels and games in the previous life, there are many examples of powerful mages forming a country.
Kant didn't bother with this matter either.
As long as he has absolute strength and ensures that his troops are extremely strong, that's enough.
Strength is fundamental.
Turning his head slightly, and scanning the waiting troops around him, Kant also turned his head and said to Fatis: "Let's all disband. Maybe it's so cautious, and it's unnecessary to work hard."
But Fatis said seriously: protecting your safety is our most important mission. "
It's a compliment, but it's also true.
Kant chuckled and shook his head, but did not answer this sentence.
He just turned his head and arranged for Manid: "You take the caravan leader back, and you can decide on the materials you need to buy now. Just report the final results to me. I think you are the best at these aspects."
"Understood." Manid nodded respectfully.
"That's right." Kant thought of something, and ordered Fatis: "All the Swadian light infantry, and the desert robbers who participated in killing the elemental giant this time, stay here. I have other arrangements."
"Yes, Lord Kant." Fatis responded and started to arrange.
As the orderly order was passed on, the crowd began to disperse in front of the city gate.
Kant comes from modern times and learned not much in the way of management.
But make the best use of everything and put talents in the positions that are most suitable for them, so that the entire team can perform at its best. This is the best management method that can support the current sentry oasis.
Although he doesn't understand large-scale campaign command, he doesn't understand commercial and economic means.
Can be a lord.
As long as his own subordinates understand, such as Fatis and Manid, they are the best candidates.
The two-page strange object was carefully placed in the wooden box again, and was held in the arms of a Swadian infantryman. Looking at the solemn appearance, anyone except Kant who dared to get close to the box would be able to let him He took out his hand and half sword to answer this question.
This is something that Kant asked him to keep. Except for the lord, whoever dares to take it will die.
The Ravenston rangers trotted away on the ramparts.
They had to return to their posts on the top of the governing hall. The four corners were covered with linen tents to shade the sun, and tables and chairs were set up for them to rest. As the commanding height of the current sentry oasis, their task load was quite heavy.
The Swadian heavy cavalry were also dispersed by Fatis, and continued to return to their open space to stand by.
The city gate on the east side became empty.
Only 41 Swadian light infantrymen and 20 desert bandits remained.
They looked at Kant helplessly, and stood facing the sun full of energy, despite the sweat running down their cheeks, each of them wanted to make a good impression in front of the lord.
But what was assigned to them was not a task at all.
Instead upgrade.
That's right, after this battle of killing the elemental giants, some soldiers can be upgraded, and the most important ones are the Swadian light infantry and desert bandits that belong to the middle-level arms stage.
"Open the upgrade interface."
Kant muttered silently, thinking and communicating with the system.
A dialog box popped up on his retina in an instant, and the unit interface was clearly visible.
... ... ...
[Upgradable units: Swadian light infantry × 4 people]
[Spending 20 dinars per person, can be upgraded to: Swadian infantry/Swadian heavy cavalry]
... ... ...
[Upgradable Arms: Desert Bandit × 40 people]
[Spend 25 dinars per person, can be upgraded to: desert bandit elite]
[Ding... the current experience is overflowing, and all staff can upgrade continuously]
... ... ...
But the dialog box that popped up made Kant slightly stunned.
Expected, also unexpected.
The Swadian light infantry can only be upgraded to 4 people.
As for the desert bandits, all 40 of them can be upgraded, and even the experience points overflow, and they can continue to choose to upgrade.
This is simply discrimination.
Frowning, Kant's mind continued to connect to the system, and he asked directly to his golden finger: "Is it because the calculation of the experience value is wrong? How come the Swadian light infantry has so few upgrades?"
"The system's calculations are absolutely flawless."
The system replied simply: "Recently there are many troops involved in the battle, and the experience points of the Swadian light infantry are extremely low, so the number of upgrades is 4. And the desert bandits have just experienced a large battle, so there are experience points for all upgrades. At the same time An additional reminder, the experience points of the five Sarande riders are close to completion, and after going through the same battle, the experience points obtained can be used to upgrade them to Mamluks."
"This..." Kant narrowed his eyes slightly.
What the system said was true. 40 desert bandits led by 5 Sarande riders directly this morning defeated and seriously injured about 500 wolf men, and captured 120 wolf men among them. The combat achievements are definitely enough to upgrade.
Regarding this, Kant also shrugged helplessly and asked: "Then, the troops that are produced alone don't share experience points with other troops?"
"That's right." The system simply answered two words.
Kant had no choice but to nod: "The Swadian light infantry has been upgraded to the Swadian heavy cavalry, and all the desert bandits have been upgraded."
[Ding... system prompt]
[This upgrade costs a total of 1080 dinars. Yes/No option to upgrade?]
The official system notification is coming.
How could Kant choose no, and directly follow the process: "Yes, all upgrades."
The moment he chooses, the data flow spreads instantly.
Four Swadian light infantrymen were wrapped up, and after just a few seconds, the Swadian heavy cavalry, both men and horses, appeared in the open space, together with the remaining 37 Swadian light infantrymen next to them, has a completely different image.
"All dismissed." Kant ordered them.
The four Swadian heavy cavalry who had been upgraded immediately led their horses towards the heavy cavalry.
And these 37 Swadian light infantrymen were still divided into patrol squads separately, and continued to patrol according to the previously arranged tasks, the only difference was that 4 companions were missing.
At this moment, the 40 desert bandits next to them were also upgraded.
The leather armor was completely replaced with iron-inlaid leather armor, the scimitar and spear remained unchanged, the 4 short javelins were upgraded to 6 extra short javelins, and the desert horses were riding neatly on standby. The overall appearance did not change much.
It's just that the aura that belongs to the bandits is even more ferocious, and it can be called the desperate bandits in the Sarande Desert.
[Ding... found additional upgradeable units]
[Upgradable arms: desert bandit elite × 15 people]
[Spend 30 dinars per person, can be upgraded to: Sarande Rider]
Kant naturally also chose to upgrade.
Wearing Sarander chain armor, holding a Sarander sword, a Sarander rider who also has a spear and a shield, appeared in this world, riding a Sarander horse with a turban and an iron helmet on his head , which is a different dress style from the Swadians.
They are also the elite on the battlefield, and they are good at charging.
"That's good." Kant nodded.
The upgrade of 15 Sarande riders saved the loss that the Swadian light infantry could not be upgraded.
Kant currently has 20 Sarande riders and 25 desert bandits, and will be able to recruit 20 desert bandits every week in the future, and will have a pure light cavalry unit in a short time.
Although due to equipment reasons, the ability to fight hand-to-hand is still poor.
However, the impact force that appears instantly when a spear cavalry charges is still not comparable to that of infantry.
What's more, the 20 Sarande riders in iron armor are used as the support for the melee combat. As long as they don't get involved with the infantry, leave the range of the infantry at the cost of injury and death, and charge back again, the front formed by the infantry will be overwhelmed sooner or later.
Assault cavalry has such a role.
PS: Well, Chapter 2, there will probably be another update at 10 pm. If it’s okay if you don’t get drunk at night, there should be a fourth update... Well, but I still ask for tickets~
