After the units have been upgraded, they all look full of energy.
20 Sarande riders and 25 elite desert bandits. These people have confirmed the foundation of the light cavalry unit. In the next few weeks, they will recruit some desert bandits, and the light cavalry unit will be successfully formed.
Small-scale raids, harassment, and investigations can all be left to them.
This will undoubtedly avoid the meaningless attendance of the Swadian heavy cavalry, who is the trump card.
For those gnolls currently scattered in the Nalun Desert, sometimes it is not the wisest choice to use the heavy cavalry that can directly destroy the enemy's formation and can be called invincible in land combat.
On the contrary, those light cavalry are good at solving such problems perfectly.
"Disband on the spot and continue to guard the prisoners."
Kant told these upgraded Salanders: "Don't let our Dinar run away."
What he was referring to was of course the gnolls who were tied hands and feet and squatted down in the training ground. The next development of the sentry oasis and the improvement of the troop strength all depended on the gnolls brought back by the captives. dinar.
This is currently a precious resource for the system to exchange dinars, strategic level!
"clear."
The Sarande riders and the elite desert bandits returned in deep voices.
The aura that belonged to the regular army and the elite gangsters was undoubtedly revealed. After responding neatly, they spread out at the fastest speed, but they did not leave the training ground too far, forming a faint cage, trapping those jackals in it.
If these prisoners dared to make trouble, they would not be vegetarians with scimitars around their waists when they were stationed at several key points.
Kant nodded: "Not bad."
Now the 50 Swadian heavy cavalry are his trump card troops, the main reliance against other forces, so in some small-scale raids, it is impossible to dispatch them, and they will only be used as the background of the sentry oasis.
Kant has made a decision.
In the next time, the light cavalry unit composed of these Salanders will be the main force to take the initiative to attack the enemy.
The weekly recruitment quota of 20 desert bandits is extremely high.
Troop upgrades resolved.
Kant himself was at ease.
Many affairs were handled by Fatis and Manid. As the lord, he only needed to make the final decision and obey the report.
This is one of the benefits of having talent and being good at using it.
Stepping towards the outside of the city gate.
Kant intends to inspect the agricultural area. After all, these ten acres of barren land are actually related to the future food reserves in the sentry oasis. As a lord, he must not be too optimistic and relax.
What's more, he has just completed the task, and he still has the task reward.
There are 5 nests of sand grouse and 10 nests of desert bees, all of which can be related to agriculture.
"The livestock industry has also started to develop."
Kant pondered slightly.
Turning around the city wall and coming to the east side, many farmers are busy using tools or homemade wooden farm implements, carefully watering and transforming canals in these barren sandy land, ensuring that the existing 7.5 mu of barley fields and 5 Acres of date palm groves can replenish sufficient water in this hot weather.
When the city wall was built, it completely separated the residential area from the agricultural area.
At the same time, the spring water that was originally used as the source of irrigation was shrouded inside the city wall, and it became the exclusive water source behind the current governing hall, so as to supply the domestic water for the entire fortress.
At present, the irrigation of the entire agricultural area depends entirely on that small lake that also communicates with groundwater.
It is not difficult to simply transform the canal, just dig the channel.
But the difficult part is that the land is slightly desertified. As the canals are filled with lake water, farmers must patrol and maintain maintenance at all times. Otherwise, the flowing lake water will collapse the soft sand and block the canals in many places, thus losing the effectiveness of irrigation. .
As far as the current farmers are concerned, before going to bed at night, they have to hold torches to maintain the canals.
But wait until you wake up the next morning.
The canal that was maintained last night was still soaked by the lake water and collapsed, hindering the flow of water in the canal. It must be maintained and repaired in the early morning, otherwise the canal with no flow will affect the water content of the land.
The temperature in the Nalun Desert is very high. Within half an hour at noon, the surface temperature can rise to 70°C.
Evaporation and reduced water content are bad news for the waiting seeds of date palms and wheat fields.
"Remember that after the fortress is upgraded, there are related buildings."
Kant glanced at the farmers who were busy holding farm tools, and his heart moved slightly.
The mind is directly connected to the system. As the dialog box pops up, there are water canals among the agricultural buildings. As a system building, the degree of damage resistance is much stronger than the original water canals dug by oneself.
"Build aqueducts." Kant directly gave instructions to the system.
[Ding... system prompt]
[Building the canal costs 100 dinars and takes 3 days.]
The system gives a reply.
For Kant, this amounted to little money.
It's just that it will take 3 days to build a canal, which makes him feel a little long.
But scanning the crooked canal, Kant also frowned helplessly, and said in a deep voice, "Definitely build it."
The buildings produced by the system are completely at the best level.
Based on the current buildings in the sentry oasis, we know that the products produced by the system must be high-quality goods. On the basis of the standard Swadian buildings, there are also some modifications to the desert area to make the buildings more suitable for construction in the desert.
[Ding... system prompt]
[Because your "Drehem" is currently at the fort level, so the village level setting will no longer be used when building. Currently, multiple buildings can be built at the same time without additional construction costs.]
A system prompt then appeared on Kant's retina.
This is one of the benefits of upgrading to a stronghold.
"Very good." Kant nodded and chuckled.
Although the extra construction won't cost much dinars, but save as much as possible, and his dinars are not much.
Somewhere behind the sand dunes not far away, construction workers arrived with their carriages.
The Rangers of Ravenston, who had discovered it in advance, reported the situation to the messenger downstairs, and then 10 Sarande riders rode over to check, and when they learned that it was the construction team building the aqueduct, they accompanied them.
This time it was still Su Nuo's construction team.
When they came to Kant's location, they immediately began to build aqueducts.
"Is your leader not here?"
Kant questioned these construction workers.
He looked around at these people, but there were 10 construction workers and a carriage carrying wood and stone, and there was no chubby construction leader that he often saw, which made Kant a little curious.
"My lord, our team leader is busy recruiting workers."
A construction worker saluted respectfully and replied: "But he still asked me to pay you the highest respect."
"Yeah." Kant nodded, really in the style of that chubby construction leader.
Continue to chat with the construction workers for a few words.
Kant unexpectedly discovered that this fat team leader had already made a fortune. He not only recruited more people to work as construction workers, but also hired many engineers, and contracted many projects in Su Nuo and surrounding villages. He seemed to be a new construction giant.
According to the workers, even the fat piece of Su Nuo's city wall maintenance project has already been taken down by this fat man.
"Tsk tsk." Kant shook his head, this fat man is indeed a businessman.
The basic channels for the canals have been dug by farmers.
Therefore, the work of the construction workers becomes simple. They only need to compact the canal with stones, so that the lake water can flow on these neatly cut, brick-like stones without touching the sandy soil.
Moreover, a 20-centimeter paved road is laid on both sides of the canal for farmers to walk when irrigating the farmland.
"correct."
Kant was very satisfied as he watched the canals being built and the land could finally be irrigated more adequately.
However, Kant frowned slightly on the khaki barren sandy land, as if he had thought of something, he turned his head to greet a few farmers, and arranged: "There is some soil outside the city gate on the east side, pull it all over and sprinkle it on these wheat fields Bar."
"Understood." The farmers nodded, and immediately picked up the rattan baskets and tools and walked to the city gate.
What Kant was talking about were the seven piles of soil outside the city wall.
These are the soils where the earth elemental giants collapsed and scattered to form the substance of their own elements after being killed. They look very fertile, and they are stronger than these sandy soils.
Soon, the farmers came back with rattan baskets on their backs.
There is a lot of fertile soil, which they sprinkled in the wheat fields to serve as fertile soil.
"It's enough to arrange these." Kant nodded as he watched the scene.
From now on, the earth elemental giants will be recruited every week. The fertile soil obtained after killing them will be sprinkled in the agricultural area over time, which will definitely improve the quality of the land and make the barren land fertile.
In Kant's view, this is ready-made fertile soil.
Going forward, bypassing the half-meter-high wall, Kant came to the junction of the date palm grove and the wheat field.
10 dromedary camels are being raised here.
Due to the shade of the trees, it is not too cold or hot. The trough is full of forage made of Achnatherum splendens, which is chewed and digested by these camels leisurely and becomes the energy stored in the hump.
Kant walked among them, and the luxuriant branches and leaves of date palms blocked most of the sunlight.
Even the light is a little dim, but the temperature is extremely pleasant, comparable to the vicinity of the governing hall covered by the sun disc.
The date palm already has the function of regulating temperature.
Planting date palms in the Middle Eastern desert also favors the growth of other delicate crops.
For example, beets, melons, and chickpeas can all rely on the shade of date palms to grow perfectly. This is also a relatively famous crop ecological environment in the desert areas of the Middle East, and it is worth a try even in this world.
"Use a card."
Kant's thinking communicates with the mind, and the 3 mission rewards just obtained can be used in the shade of these trees.
Sand grouse and desert bees, which are suitable for desert environments, are both good things.
