The Gnoll routs in panic.
The battle centered on the sentry oasis has also temporarily come to an end.
The winner is Kant.
The baron enshrined by the Lion Principality was appointed as the lord of the Nalun Desert and the fief owner of the sentry oasis.
Of course, these titles and identities only exist in the Lion Principality.
The Gnoll tribe that multiplied in the Nalun Desert in those eras basically didn't know, didn't understand, and would not recognize Kant's identity at all, because in their eyes, Kant was an invader.
In fact, Kant did not deny it.
The essence of this world is that whoever has big fists and sufficient strength can have everything.
The weak do not deserve the right to live.
"including me."
Kant is indifferent, this is the most authentic value after tearing off the fig leaf of civilization.
Cannibalism, genocide.
no mercy.
Since he came to the Nalun Desert, he competed with these cruel gnolls for the ownership of the Nalun Desert and for the water resources of the sentry oasis, just for this purpose, to survive and grow in this desert.
What's more, Kant is the winner of this battle.
He is justice.
And winning this battle is not only equal to a victory in essence.
Or turning point.
From weak to strong turning point.
35 farmers to upgrade.
20 recruits can be upgraded.
10 militias can be upgraded.
It is equal to Kant's current troops, all 65 people, can be upgraded to higher arms.
All are infantry that can be put into low-intensity battlefields.
Although the number of soldiers has decreased due to the death in battle, in reality, the quality of soldiers brought about by the upgrade has obviously improved, almost skyrocketing.
Just like those 50 Swadian farmers before.
After 15 people are killed, the remaining 35 people can all be upgraded and become Swadian recruits.
Holding a spear and wearing leather armor.
There is a hatchet for melee, a wide wooden shield for defense, and standard Swadia Kingdom equipment.
Again, basic tactical training is included.
"It's worth the upgrade."
Kant nodded silently.
He has already made a decision in his mind.
The surprise attack from the Wolf man tonight was a profound lesson.
After all, this is the Nalun Desert, and the threat of the Wolf Man tribe is everywhere, and based on the appearance of nearly 500 Wolf Man tonight, it can be deduced that there may be a Wolf Man tribe somewhere around.
After all, the Lion Principality doesn't know much about the Nalun Desert.
The conquest ten years ago basically came to an end at this sentry oasis.
As for the deeper part of the Nalun Desert, the further north of the sentry oasis, whether there are other gnoll tribes, whether there are other oases, whether there are water sources, I have no impression at all, it is completely blank.
Now, Kant must be prepared to face these serious troubles.
Upgrading is a must.
This one is for future decisions.
Only when Kant and "Deherim" have enough self-protection power can the sentry oasis develop, otherwise, even if it is hard work to make this place prosperous, they themselves do not have decent troops to guard them. The final result is estimated to be It also just provides a new territory for those greedy careerists.
Make wedding dresses for others.
So, for Kant, to upgrade.
Even if it costs a lot of dinars, it must be upgraded without affecting the normal development of the village.
35 Swadian farmers can be upgraded to become Swadian recruits, which cost 350 dinars.
It costs 200 dinars to upgrade 20 Swadian recruits to become Swadian militiamen.
As a primary unit, their single upgrade cost is 10 dinars.
"So, 550 dinars."
Kant still frowned slightly for this number.
But he still said silently: "Definitely upgrade."
On the retina, the number symbolizing the dinar drops rapidly.
The 1,000 dinars originally obtained for completing the main task "Building a Village" were only 420 dinars left after the figures stopped, basically allowing Kant to consume more than half of his savings.
"Next..."
Kant frowned slightly.
10 Swadian militiamen, also upgradeable.
The upgrade cost is 20 dinars per person, and you can choose to upgrade to the Swadian light infantry of the melee infantry category, and the Swadian guerrilla shooter of the long-range archer category.
These two types of arms are all level 3 soldiers of the Kingdom of Swadia.
As long as you upgrade again and reach level 4 soldiers, you can be regarded as the main force on the battlefield after the top level 5 soldiers.
"No upgrade."
But Kant chose no and did not upgrade the 10 Swadian militiamen.
This is a decision he made after careful consideration.
Although the upgrade fee of 200 dinars for all members is not much, it will affect the next village construction.
The current "Deherim" is still in the primary village stage.
It takes a lot of dinars to build other buildings, such as houses that can be built but have not yet been built, walls, mills, watchtowers, wells and other buildings are the basic facilities of the village.
The building that the village owns now is just the governing hall.
The other buildings are strongholds for recruiting desert robbers, independent of the Swadia Kingdom system.
Therefore, the construction of the village must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
"As for the Gnolls, these current infantry are more than enough to deal with them."
Kant's face was calm.
With 35 Swadian recruits, 30 Swadian militiamen, and a total of 65 troops, there is absolutely no problem guarding this sentry oasis. Even if he faces the same number of gnolls again, Kant has a guarantee of victory.
Compared to the peasants, these were genuine infantry.
Although it was still a low-level unit, armed with Swadia's standard equipment, these primitive gnoll tribes who didn't even have metal weapons could not compete at all.
What's more, these Swadian militiamen have already installed long-range weapons.
hunting crossbow.
This is the lowest level and least powerful crossbow in the system.
Generally speaking, these hunting crossbows are actually the tools used by the hunters in the mountains to hunt goods. As for the function on the battlefield, shooting the enemy from a long distance is a sideline.
But no matter how small the crossbow is, it is still a crossbow.
Can hunt wild animals, can also kill the enemy.
What's more, he has no armor and can only rely on his body to resist
30 Swadian militiamen are equal to 30 crossbowmen, and the performance in close combat is also not bad.
With 35 Swadian recruits, they can handle it well.
"That's it."
Kant confirmed the choice, and the dialog box on the retina slowly disappeared.
And just outside the window, the soldiers who were still cleaning the battlefield in the sand and oasis were entangled in a stream of data in an instant, and after just two seconds, they reappeared in this world with great changes.
The figure became burly.
Various weapons and equipment have been replaced.
The 30 Swadian militiamen had the biggest change, because each had a hunting crossbow hanging next to the fan-shaped shield on the back.
Including the quiver on the back waist, 20 crossbow arrows are neatly stacked.
They are upgraded.
The cold wind howled, rolling up fine sand.
But on the eastern horizon of the Nalun Desert, at some point, a fishy white appeared there.
It's dawn.
Kant, who was lying on the bed, also lost sleepiness.
The threat of the Gnoll has temporarily come to an end, and the upgraded arms can completely solve the current problem of insufficient defense.
But the construction of the village should also start.
On the Retina, the dialog box reappeared, a list of buildable buildings in "Dherim".
[Buildable list:]
[houses, walls, mills, watchtowers, wells]
According to the graphic introduction, it is basically not much different from the buildings in the game.
Kant looked carefully.
[Housing: Civil buildings, buildings combining stone and wood. It can increase the population. When the population of the village is small, it can actively attract refugees to join. It costs 100 dinars to build and takes 7 days.]
[Mills: Agricultural buildings can be divided into wind power and hydraulic power. Grinds barley and other grains to produce flour. It cost 200 dinars to build and took 14 days.]
[Wall: A military building, stone blocks are piled up to half a meter and surround the village. The role is to prevent poultry from running into the wild, not to defend against enemies. It costs 100 dinars to build and takes 7 days.]
[Watchtower: Military building, built of stone and wood. Personnel can be stationed to detect the surrounding dynamics early and ensure the safety of the village. It costs 100 dinars to build and takes 7 days.]
[Water well: a civil building, excavated from the ground. There needs to be water veins in the ground, otherwise the dug wells will not produce water. It costs 100 dinars to build and takes 7 days.]
These are the 5 buildings that Kant can currently build.
However, his brows were slightly furrowed.
"It seems that some buildings are useless at all."
Kant scanned the dialog box and looked at the introduction above, feeling a little chilled in his heart.
This is the Nalun Desert, and at least two of these five buildings do not conform to the current "Dherim".
"Water well, there is oasis spring water here, no need."
Kant frowned and chose: "The wheat field is useless, the mill is not needed."
But continuing to look at the dialog box, Kant frowned even more: "I don't need a house, there will be task rewards in the future, and I don't need a fence. It's only half a meter high and there's no way to defend against the attack of gnolls."
Look dignified.
Kant frowned and said, "Just one watchtower is fine."
The watchtower that can detect the surrounding situation in advance and notify the village as soon as possible should be regarded as the most suitable building for the current situation among the five buildings.
After all, the threat of the wolf man may not always appear again.
With watchtowers, early detection and early preparation will also lead to early victory.
