These 10 Swadian farmers have a clear division of labor.
Someone went to the administrative hall to bring wooden ladders, and someone climbed to the roof to bring rattan baskets, and at the same time found scissors, which were used to cut off strings of date palm branches for easy picking and drying.
Date palms are still in the fresh stage of ripening and need to be handled with care.
Of course, these farmers still understand.
After all, they are all good farmers who have come out of the fields. As long as they are serious and careful, this is not a problem for them.
Kant was relieved to entrust these farmers with this task.
Now he has other things.
For example, desert bandit stronghold.
This task reward was obtained from Kant and the cavalry of the Lion Principality risking their lives to wipe out the wolf man tribe on the sentry oasis at dusk yesterday.
According to the judgment of the system mission, the rewards obtained for such a mission that threatens to annihilate the entire army belong to the advanced level.
"This is really curious."
In Kant's mind, thinking has been instantly connected with the system.
On the retina of his eyes, the item's data card appeared at the same time, and he could clearly see that it was a house built of sandstone. There were soldiers leading horses and wearing leather armor holding spears passing by the door.
There is no doubt that this should be the literal desert bandit.
But Kant was slightly taken aback.
"Desert bandits?"
He couldn't help frowning slightly, as if thinking of something.
In the system of the previous life, in the territory of the Sultanate of Sarande, there was a kind of wild monster with this name, and it appeared in groups in the vast sandy sea, robbing caravans and villagers, and they belonged to bandits who did all kinds of crimes.
Even early in the game, sensible players rarely touch the desert where these desert bandits are infested.
"Is it really these guys?" Kant swallowed.
Surprise flashed in his eyes.
If it is really in the system, those gangsters whizzing past in the desert like a whirlwind, then it is definitely a huge reward for the current sentry oasis, even worse than the 20 date palm trees that can provide extra rations. Be precious.
He was excited inside, but Kant remained calm on his face.
His childhood life taught him how to hide his true emotions with calmness.
Walk quickly towards the south side of the sentry oasis.
After bypassing the spring, the area where the governing hall is located will be the residential area and handicraft area of "Dherim" in the future. This is the area he divided. If trade flourishes in the future, a commercial area will even be developed.
The area where the 6 Populus euphratica trees and 20 date palm trees are located on the north side is purely an agricultural area.
Although there is not even half an acre of arable land in the Sentinel Oasis, considering the future development of the fief, if there is no food output of its own, it is tantamount to being choked by others.
Kant naturally would not give up agriculture, even if the output was extremely low.
Even the idea in his mind, if given the chance, he would send people to the Lion Principality opposite the Sanwaya Mountains, dig a lot of soil and bring it back, and use this stupid method to increase the arable area of the sentry oasis.
After all, from the sentry oasis to the Sanwaya Mountains, the journey for cavalry is about 3 days, and the journey for horse-drawn carriages and infantry is only 7 days.
The distance of one week is affordable for Kant's eagerness to develop the oasis!
"My lord."
Near the government hall, 10 Swadian militiamen are on standby.
Seeing Kant approaching, they all bowed their heads respectfully to show their respect.
"Um."
Kant nodded, without any extra arrangements, he just responded: "Keep vigilant."
The threat of Gnolls is still lingering in the dark, not only the 10 Swadian militiamen who are on standby, but even the 20 Swadian recruits are also patrolling the surrounding sand dunes. He will quickly retreat to the vicinity of the governing hall and defend the enemy with the 50 Swadian farmers.
Although the number is only 80, as long as they maintain the courage to fight for their homeland, they all have long-handled weapons and form a tight formation, even 200 Jackals cannot defeat them.
What's more, Kant is about to usher in his new arms.
Desert Bandit.
Coming to the side of the governing hall, Kant carefully inspected the terrain.
As long as the construction of this [Desert Bandit Stronghold] is confirmed, a second building will appear in the sentry oasis. At the same time, this building is also related to the combat arms that Kant can currently have.
"The system is built on the east side of the governing hall."
Kant made the final decision.
And as his voice fell, a large amount of data flow appeared on the retina of his eyes instantly.
Next to the governing hall in front of him, a simple building made of stone and wood appeared quickly, and within 2 seconds, the building that was still in the form of a data card before was truly embodied in this world.
From the system, desert bandit stronghold.
Kant looked at it. This building is a single house built with stones as the base and wood.
The visual area is about 100 square meters, about 3 meters high, which is much shorter than the 6-meter-high governing hall next to it, but there are more than 20 square meters more beside the house, which is a stable made of wood.
"Srustling."
A few slight snorts came, but Kant's expression was slightly taken aback.
"Is there really someone?"
Kant raised his eyes slightly, and he confirmed that he heard absolutely right.
Because the obvious snorting sound just now is precisely the sound made by the common movements of horses, which means that there are indeed horses in the stable, and it also means that there are real people in this building.
The narrow wooden door was pushed open from inside.
Five strong men wearing linen robes and holding spears are walking out quickly. Their sun-tanned faces are full of ferocious flesh, but their expressions are extremely respectful.
"Humble, we salute you, honorable lord." These five people saluted respectfully and said hello.
"Ah, very good."
Kant nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The joy in the depths of his eyes was extremely strong, because he guessed rightly, these five strong men were the desert bandits who once swarmed in groups in the Sultanate of Sarande like a sandstorm!
Under the seemingly simple linen robe, he was wearing fine leather armor.
Although he is holding a 2-meter spear in his hand, the skinned round shield and flanged hammer for close combat are hung on the back waist, and in the bulging leather bag on the back are 4 neatly stacked short javelin.
Coupled with the desert horses in the stables, they can rely on them to run wild in the sand.
Whether it's charging with a horse and gun, or throwing a heavy and deadly short javelin around the enemy, they are good at it.
In close combat, the leather round shield can resist the enemy's attack, and the blunt flange hammer, which is mainly used for armor-piercing, will make even better-equipped enemies feel the threat of death.
"Very good, really good."
With a smile on the corner of Kant's mouth, he asked, "Are there only five of you in this stronghold?"
"Yes, Lord Lord." The five desert robbers nodded.
At the same time, another person explained: "If you are willing to pay 30 dinars per person, then one desert bandit will follow you every week, and the maintenance cost you will pay in the future is only 12 dinars per week. "
"It feels good." Kant nodded.
Although the recruitment fee of 30 dinars is high, and the maintenance fee of 12 dinars per week is also expensive, in Kant's view, these are acceptable, because the self-worth of these fierce gangsters lies here.
This is the best of the tier 2 arms.
For example, Kant currently has 2nd-level arms, 10 Swadian militias, which are much stronger in comparison.
It can even be said that if the tactics are arranged properly, the five desert bandits can easily kill all the ten Swadian militiamen without losing any of them, even if these militiamen are equipped with iron-clad heavy spears.
This is the ferocious ability they have honed in the harsh desert.
Kant asked: "Can you recruit now?"
These desert robbers did not continue to answer, but became very quiet after explaining, because the system took over from them and answered Kant's question.
"Can be recruited."
The system's prompt sound appeared in Kant's ear: "Do you choose to recruit?"
"Recruitment." Kant nodded.
[Recruitment: Desert Bandit × 1]
[Cost 30 dinars]
A prompt box appeared, and then, in the stronghold made of sandstone and wood, the wooden door was pushed open again.
A desert bandit in almost attire came out and quickly stood with five other companions, looking very capable. Although he had a complimenting look on Kant's face, when he glanced at other areas, he still looked like a bandit. review.
It was as if he was about to rob at any time.
"With these six desert robbers, it is basically much safer."
Kant looked at them with great satisfaction in his heart.
These 6 desert bandits are not ordinary infantry, but real cavalry, and equipped with spears, they can be used as fierce assault cavalry, which can tear apart the enemy's line and defeat the enemy's troops in the charge .
It's really easy to deal with those gnolls in the primitive tribe period.
"My lord, my lord."
Just when Kant was secretly satisfied, there was a hasty cry behind him.
Turning his head slightly, he saw that it was a Swadian farmer, holding an old clay pot in his hand, walking towards this side quickly, and still shouting: "We seem to have found something!"
