The Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 148: Returning scout cavalry

Views:

Hearing his nephew's words, the caravan leader Jocelyn was stunned: "A jackal who can't tell the value?"

In his impression, he didn't know the existence of the high-level wolf man.

"It's a high-ranking wolf man."

Manid next to him explained: "It's like this. We recently captured a group of gnolls. They have their own civilization and wisdom, and they understand the human language. Except for their appearance, they are actually similar to ours. There is no difference between human beings, and they even have their own kingdom, so they call themselves High Gnolls."

"Higher Gnoll." The caravan leader Jocelyn lowered his head slightly.

"That's right." Kant also nodded.

"That's right." After a little thought, Jocelyn asked, "Master Kant, what is the difference between the strength, stamina, and endurance of these high-ranking gnolls and those previous gnolls who were like beggars?"

"no difference."

Kant replied, after thinking about it, he shrugged and said, "Perhaps it is better because of sufficient nutrition."

"So that's the case." Jocelyn nodded, still thinking for a while, but raised his head directly with a smile on his face: "Since this is the case, then these slaves will definitely be more popular. I will pay you 50 dinars per person." Acquisition, if Lord Kant can provide such high-quality slaves for a long time, then I am also willing to maintain the long-term slave trade."

This is the answer in the affirmative.

Kant smiled and nodded: "There is no problem at all, I have never been short of prisoners."

Not only is there no shortage, but there will be a large number of them.

Almost all the low-level gnolls in the Nalun Desert have been captured, and the rest can only be searched in the complex environment of the Sanwaya Mountains. The difficulty, cost, and time have all increased a lot.

But a new slave source came again.

It was the Greymane Kingdom Expeditionary Force that came from the coast of Mannheim and passed through the Nalun Desert.

Also as a wolf man who is strong and good at endurance.

These intelligent high-level wolf men are definitely more popular with mine owners than those beast-like low-level wolf men!

"Let's trade first."

Kant smiled and said to Jocelyn, "It's a pleasure to cooperate."

"It's very pleasant." Jocelyn stood up and stroked his chest in salute, sincerely agreeing.

For him, Kant, who doesn't have too much aristocratic airs, is very easy to get along with, and he doesn't have any unreasonable thoughts about his caravan. He is a benevolent lord, which makes people admire and respect him very much.

The 62,880 dinars of the low-level gnolls arrived.

The 14,650 dinars of the High Gnoll also arrived.

A total of 77530 dinars.

Just three thousand short, the dinar will be close to 80,000, and only thirty thousand short, the dinar will be able to enter the 100,000 mark!

At this moment, Kant finally understood why in the Atlantic Ocean of the earth, countless black slave trading ships frantically transported black slaves, maintaining this black slave trade line made up of slave blood, tears and corpses for nearly two hundred years .

Because the slave trade is really too profitable!

And the huge profits of the high-level wolf man shocked Kant even more.

2000+ low-level jackals only sold more than 60,000 dinars.

The high-level gnolls with less than 300 people directly bought nearly 15,000 dinars.

The profits of both parties are not on the same line.

But for Kant, no matter whether he is high or low, it is his wolf man captive, who brought him enough dinars, and solved his plight that he is now exhausted and urgently needs dinars.

The fish white in the sky gradually became brighter.

Sunlight appeared in the Nalun Desert.

The originally cold air also quickly picked up, and the Nalun Desert became warmer as a whole.

The captives were filled in turn into the 3 wagons.

It's almost like an artifact, stuffing 2300+ jackals into it, it's like a world of its own.

Jocelyn's nephew didn't wait too long. After breakfast, he led the team to leave the sentry oasis. He took these gnoll slaves and headed towards Zhiwading, where they sold them to snowfield iron mine owners who were in urgent need of slaves.

Reselling, although most of the profits will go to the nobles of Zhiwading, they can also make a small fortune.

The sentry oasis continues to be calm and rigorous.

Manid continued to purchase a large amount of food from the caravan, mostly storable grains and air-dried meat.

This is early planning.

The next war does not know how long it will last, and it may have to experience the siege of the enemy. Therefore, sufficient food and water are the basis that must be guaranteed.

Naturally, there is no shortage of water in the sentry oasis.

The spring behind the governing hall gushes out large streams of spring water every day.

The most important thing is food.

With the increase of personnel and the enhancement of the quality of arms, the demand for food is also increasing.

Like the Swadian militia.

As a farmer, I ate two slices of bread, a piece of air-dried meat, and a bowl of thick soup every day.

What I eat now is four slices of bread, two pieces of air-dried meat, half a sausage, plus two bowls of thick soup, and maybe some fresh roast antelope meat, in order to supplement the daily training and patrols. physical strength.

Everything is preparing for war.

Time went on.

Kant stood on the top of the city wall, looking towards the direction of the Sanwaya Mountains.

There was a bit of doubt on his face.

Because the desert antelopes that were supposed to arrive at the end of the month have become quite rare, as if they knew that there would be a war here, at the end of the month and the beginning of the month, there were only four or five small migration waves.

The total number is less than 2,000, which is much less than the tens of thousands of desert antelopes in the past.

"But that's fine."

Kant turned his head to look to the north of the desert.

The doubts on his face disappeared, and his face became serious.

These desert antelopes didn't appear too much, so it wasn't a big deal for him. After all, those antelope skins and antelope meat, the sentry oasis didn't really need these supplies, so they were dispensable.

And still as before, when a large number of desert antelopes entered the depths of the desert, he would be anxious instead.

The expeditionary force of the Graymane Kingdom is coming soon.

It would be ridiculous if these desert antelopes became the supplies for those gnolls and experienced the cruel trek in the Nalun Desert, and the ready-made antelope blood and antelope meat became the food to ensure their energy.

But Kant's eyes suddenly turned to the north side.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

He seemed to have found several small black spots, and he was running towards this side at the top of the dune.

"It's the desert bandits we sent out!"

The Ravenston ranger behind him obviously had better eyesight.

Looking at the 10 small black dots in the north, they held up their heavy bows, Su Sheng reported to Kang Dehui: "Master, these desert robbers in charge of investigation are back!"

"Yes." Kant narrowed his eyes.

These are the 10 desert robbers he personally ordered to send out.

Of course he understood what the return of the 10 light cavalrymen scouting at the natural salt mine represented.

Clenching his fist slightly, Kant ordered in a deep voice: "Let those 10 desert robbers go to the governing hall, and at the same time go to Fatis and Manid, and tell them that I will summon them in the governing hall."

"Understood." The Swadian infantry who followed immediately responded and turned to convey.

This is an emergency!

PS: I recommend "My Lilliputian", the writing is superb, and the plot is super exciting. It tells the story that after the protagonist comes to Lilliputian, he finds that he can conquer mountains and rivers with one punch, kick thousands of troops with one kick, and defeat all nations with one person. The story of rampant rampage in every country. Everyone who is in the book shortage, go read it, it has already entered the high-quality novel!
