This is what Kant expected.
The post station is the only place to pass through the stone pass and the sentry oasis.
As long as people who want to test Kant and pretend to be a caravan come to the depths of the desert, they will pass by this flat sandy plain, and the station that is being built in the middle of the sandy plain is extremely conspicuous.
No one will give up the idea of testing the station.
What's more, 40 desert bandits will conduct uninterrupted patrols in the surrounding route areas that may appear.
When they find strange caravans visiting, these extremely flexible and sturdy desert bandits will come and go to explain that Kant has issued an order prohibiting going into the desert. The scimitar in the middle, or the short javelin on the back, let the opponent appreciate the cruelty in the desert.
Even if the caravan guards are extremely powerful and can withstand these weaker desert bandits in close combat, it is somewhat difficult to resist the harassment and attacks day and night.
In this kind of alternative guerrilla harassment tactics, the desert bandits are good at it.
Therefore, they relied on this tactic and continued to harass the unrepentant caravans to perceive the danger. After hearing good advice, they went to the station to replenish fresh water and food, and then turned back, not daring to go deep into the Nalun Desert , for fear of encountering these vulture-like difficult desert robbers, some unpleasant accidents will happen.
Those who came to test in the early stage were real businessmen or some spies pretending to be businessmen.
Therefore, they are very professional in caravans.
Similarly, they could sense that these desert bandits were not telling lies. Once they went too far beyond the station, or touched the bottom line of these desert bandits, cruel harassment would eventually come.
Or they chose to return to Stone Pass instead.
Or they risked their lives to reach the sentry oasis.
There are only these two options.
But no matter how you look at the second option, it is extremely cruel.
After all, after a period of understanding, they know that Baron Kant, the lord of the Nalun Desert, has a heavy cavalry unit in his hands. Although the number is small, they are extremely elite, and they can fight against the knights in the Stone Pass. There are back and forth, it is not a bad force.
Naturally, he was talking about the Sarande rider who once showed glory in the Stone Pass.
It's just a pity.
Of the 20 Salander riders, only 7 survived.
However, these 7 survivors were also successfully promoted to Mamluks, possessing the level of top knights, even stronger than the great knights with extraordinary strength in terms of close combat and combat experience!
Instilling decades of killing experience in the system is equivalent to spelling it out in a sea of corpses and blood.
The effect is naturally extraordinary!
But judging from the strength of the caravan spies currently investigating, they are at best ordinary people.
Desert bandits can handle it.
After all, the number of guards in each caravan would not be too many. Compared with the scale that these 40 desert robbers could gather in a whistling manner, they were completely at a disadvantage, and they did not dare to have any thoughts of resistance.
This is the initial stage of temptation, and it is not yet time to use force to try.
Kant's strict blockade is enough to block the eyes of many people.
However, this is only temporary.
The salt trade between Sentinel Oasis and Jianshi Pass is becoming more and more formalized, the amount of silver coins traded is increasing, and the overall profit is constantly rising, which will also attract a lot of greedy eyes.
The temptations will continue.
Once you figure out Kant's strength, a new temptation will arrive.
Until I understand Kant's bottom line.
Those nobles and merchants are all as good as hell devils, and they are not weak in the struggle.
This is greed at work.
Kant understood them.
So for these greedy guys, he made a choice.
The Stone Pass has blocked a lot of greedy prying eyes for him. Without the help of Baron Dylan, it is estimated that more spies and spies, even various bandit groups, and violent organizations will appear in the Nalun Desert. Moving towards the sentry oasis on a large scale requires "intimate" contact.
be honest.
Now Kant, the pressure is really very small.
The desert bandits alone can deal with the small caravans that bypassed the rocky pass and appeared in the Nalun Desert.
The fierce gangsters honed in the Sarande Desert are still at home in the Nalun Desert. What's more, this is Kant's home field. It is not a delusion to easily solve the opponent with the elite troops drawn by "Helm".
Now, in this vast and cruel Nalun Desert...
Kant's influence ranks first!
... ... ...
Another trek.
Finally, on the last day of this month, Kant returned to the sentry oasis.
The long-lost stone city wall of "Drehem" appeared in front of my eyes. The four arrow towers and the tower-style governing hall were also as tall as before, with safety and stability. They were the cornerstone of Kant's current power.
The fortress allowed him to occupy the oasis.
And the Vikia sharpshooter who was the first to notice Kant's arrival had already passed on the news.
Fatis is leading the team.
The Swadian knights, Swadian heavy cavalry, and Mamluk and Sarande riders stomped on the sand, splashing the soft sand, showing their aura.
This is the most solemn welcome.
"Welcome back, Lord Kant!"
Fatis looked solemn.
The heavy cavalry behind them also looked at Kant eagerly: "Welcome back, my lord!" They shouted neatly, and the fire in their eyes made them offer the most revered wishes in their hearts.
"Okay." Kant nodded.
Looking at these heavy cavalry, as well as the archers on the city walls and arrow towers, they looked satisfied.
Here are his soldiers!
"Go in." Kant ordered, and entered "Drehem" surrounded by many cavalry.
However, he also discovered that during the time he was away, although Fatis did not have the authority to upgrade the fortress into a castle, he still built "Drehem" according to his own authority.
More houses appeared inside the walls.
More pedestrians are coming and going on the street, and there is a busy atmosphere everywhere.
There are curls of green smoke floating in the salt workshop all day long.
Heaps of salt are placed on the wooden boards waiting to be filled. A dozen workers are holding shovels and putting these fine white salts into linen bags. tempting.
And the sugar workshop next to it is also full of smoke.
It's just that the goods are less.
Sugar workshops were limited due to lack of raw materials.
But relying on the hard work of the honeys and the output of the date palm trees, the thumb-sized date palm sugar cubes are made, also packed in linen bags, and then carefully transported to the storage room, waiting for their own internal digestion.
Sugar production has not yet formed a scale, so the products produced are all for their own consumption.
PS: Two updates today, four updates tomorrow! I'm too tired to travel, I'm out of shape today...but I'm glad that at 10 o'clock this morning, my boutique badge finally arrived~
