The Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 25: Refugees from Swadia

Views:

After traveling day and night, Kant was exhausted after returning to the sentry oasis.

He needs to get a good night's sleep and get enough energy and energy before he can seriously consider the next arrangement, including the five Swadia standard houses rewarded by the construction system, and the design and planning issues, which need to be carefully considered.

The sentry oasis is not a large oasis with a large area.

According to specific estimates, the area of the entire sentry oasis is pitifully small, even less than 1,000 square meters.

Among them is a pond with spring water of 25 x 6 meters.

These stone and wood-based Swadian houses each have an area of at least 150 square meters. Regardless of planning, the five buildings can directly block the south side of the sentry oasis.

Kant naturally does not do this.

He will take care of the planning issues of these buildings.

And Kant didn't sleep too long.

open your eyes.

Kant's eyes swept across the window, and the sky was bright.

After rubbing his face and regaining his energy, he put on his clothes and went down the stairs. Several Swadian recruits were coming out of the storage room. When they saw Kant coming down the stairs, they bowed respectfully and saluted.

"My lord, good afternoon."

"Well, good afternoon." Kant nodded.

His eyes swept over the cabbage and air-dried meat in their hands, as if they were preparing food.

And the answer of one of them also proved this point: "My lord, it is almost noon, and we are preparing lunch."

"Is it already noon?"

Rubbing between his brows, Kant waved to these respectful recruits: "Go ahead."

The recruits nodded respectfully: "Yes, my lord." Then they took these things to the kitchen.

The Kingdom of Swadia is clearly hierarchical.

Walking out of the governing hall, the sun was scorching hot, and the unbearable temperature suddenly swept over.

"My lord."

The Swadian militia guarding the door saluted respectfully.

Construction workers in robes and hoods were moving supplies lightly, even if they were beaten with hammers, they were covered with handkerchiefs, for fear that the noise they made would affect the silence in the nearby governing hall.

Kant turned his head to look.

The prototype of the watchtower has been built.

The foundation and platform are all made of stones, and the walls and stairs are made of strong wood. Although the construction has not yet been completed, the specific appearance has already appeared. It is estimated that it will be completed within 7 days. There is absolutely no problem with this.

"My lord, you are back."

The leader of the construction workers ran over with a smile on his honest face.

"Hmm." Kant just nodded to this seemingly simple and honest team leader who was actually full of cunning businessmen in Swadia, and said flatly: "It is very important to ensure the progress, and it is best to complete it on schedule."

"Don't worry, my lord, it will definitely be completed on schedule." The construction leader laughed.

Kant nodded: "This is the best."

"I'm going to urge them to do it faster."

The construction team leader obviously understood that Kant noticed his little thoughts.

He wanted to flatter him but failed, and he was still quite afraid of Kant, the lord. He forced a smile and chatted a few more words, then quickly ran away, not daring to stay by Kant's side any longer.

"Cunning businessman."

Looking at his back, Kant shook his head slightly.

The characters materialized from the system have their own personalities and consciousness, and are not rigid NPC programs.

But precisely because of this, these characters also include flattery, comparison, jealousy, and even bullying, cruelty, etc. Although they have not yet fully manifested in front of Kant, they can be regarded as signs.

I really don't know if it's good or bad.

But as long as he remains loyal to Kant, he is not willing to interfere too much.

Now, the more important task is to build 5 standard houses in Swadia.

Kant was walking on the south side of the spring.

After walking a few steps, I could only turn around and continue walking back.

"too small."

Frowning slightly, Kant sighed softly in his heart.

The sentry oasis is indeed too small, so small that the current planning must be extremely cautious.

He has to think about the future.

Think for a moment.

Kant's eyes narrowed slightly, and he swept across the sand outside the oasis. His heart suddenly moved, and he immediately contacted the system in his brain, and asked silently, "Can the system build buildings on the sand?"

He undoubtedly committed an empiricist error.

With the help of the system, these buildings of Kant are as strong even if they are built on sand!

And the system simply replied: "It can be built."

Kant smiled.

Sure enough.

Along the administrative hall, watchtower and desert bandit stronghold as the horizontal line, Kant walked 10 meters to the south.

There is already a layer of soft sand under your feet.

"Okay." Kant nodded slightly: "This is it."

As the system confirmed the system, five standard Swadia houses immediately materialized in this world, and a large amount of data began to wrap around each other, and in just a few seconds, they appeared as a whole.

The foundation and walls are made of neat stone blocks, with a thickness of about 30 cm, which brings firmness and thickness.

and a sense of security.

The top is oblique, and the roof is made of neat and dry wood. In order to avoid the erosion of rainwater, a layer of tiles is laid on it, but in the desert, obviously, there is no need to worry about rainwater.

Because it doesn't rain at all in the desert.

This worry is completely gone.

The 5 houses are lined up one after the other, just forming a horizontal line.

Sitting south and facing north, the door of the room faces the direction of the spring, and it just echoes the ruling hall and the desert bandit stronghold.

The 10 meters that Kant walked in the middle just happened to be a street now.

In the middle of these 5 houses, there is no gap at all. The walls are connected to each other, almost one building next to the other. If you go up the roof by a ladder, you can easily walk from the beginning to the end.

This is of course deliberately considered for safety.

Kant thought about it.

If a large number of enemies attack, then the troops in the house can quickly appear on this 10-meter-wide street, relying on the buildings on both sides to form an array and firmly guard the street.

They blocked both ends of the street.

The Swadian infantry, who all have long-handled weapons, can steadily launch a defense with a small number of troops.

For the rest, they can stand on the roof, use the 3-meter-high wall as a shooting position, hold a hunting crossbow to shoot at the enemies attacking on both sides, and support those comrades who are struggling to support the two sides of the street.

Even if an enemy climbs up to the roof to fight them hand-to-hand, they can easily repel them if they preemptively take advantage of the terrain.

This arrangement already has the prototype of a fortress.

In fact, Kant had exactly this intention!

The threat of the Gnoll is close at hand, and it is in a crushing situation for the sentry oasis.

Peaceful development does not belong to the current "Dherim".

It's not even just a village built like a fortress. Kant's final requirement for "Dherim" is that the castles in the system be tall, strong, and able to firmly guard one side.

This is the southernmost part of the Nalun Desert, the only oasis with water.

It is an important place for transportation.

Whether you want to go deep into the Nalun Desert from the Sanwaya Mountains, or cross the Sanwaya Mountains from the Nalun Desert to enter human society, this small oasis is the only way to go.

Kant's "Durheem" is the nail.

What's more, Kant now has the most direct threat from the Wolf Man.

With these simple defense arrangements, with the current 30 Swadian recruits and 35 Swadian militiamen, even if there is another night attack of more than 500 gnolls, they can still launch a tenacious resistance.

As long as there is no unconventional force, they can fully withstand it.

"At least you have the power to protect yourself."

Kant nodded secretly.

Although the threat of the wolf man tribe is still there, Kant's development is extremely fast.

Things are changing.

At this moment, the system dialog box instantly appeared on Kant's retina.

[Ding... The event triggers "Swadia's Refugees"]

[A group of Swadians who were homeless due to the war came. Seeing the empty houses in your village, they seemed to have found hope after seeing the empty houses in your village, and asked to join your village.]

[Swadians × 50 people, do you choose to accept?]
