The current situation seems calm, but extremely dangerous.
This is like a sea full of torrents and dark tides. It is the savings before the storm. Anyone who makes a mistake will fall into the sea of boundless terror in the abyss and be torn to pieces.
In the Lion Principality, the top nobles began to sharpen their knives, preparing to enjoy a delicious meal.
The low-level nobles also showed their fangs and claws, trying to get a share of the action.
The profits are too great.
It was so big that even those top noble families could not enjoy this delicious meal alone. They could only feast on the delicious food that was close at hand only if they compromised and cooperated with each other.
All to their heart's content.
Including those businessmen who are just running errands, they can eat big mouthfuls of food according to their own size.
But not Kant.
He is the party whose interests are directly damaged.
Everyone was staring at him viciously, and might pounce on him at any time.
And Kant also had a premonition that this time was coming.
The entire "Drehem" castle has entered the second-level alert state. The surrounding sand dunes are surrounded by desert robbers on horseback at any time, patrolling 24 hours a day.
All Vikia archers were stationed on the city wall and no longer rested in the barracks dormitory.
There are also knights who are ready to attack at any time.
In order to deal with the danger that comes at any time, they are always on standby.
Fatis and Kant have already had a deep chat. For the next danger, they should be handled cautiously. When encountering the enemy, they will launch an attack first, use the desert to drag down the enemy army, and then use the excellent city defense fortifications to trap the enemy's troops. Desperate, can only retreat.
After all, the sentry oasis is still in the blockade stage. The nobles of the Lion Principality never imagined that such a strong and magnificent castle has appeared on the oasis, and the city defense system is complete and strict.
Without siege weapons, it is doomed to be futile, and there is no way to attack by force!
Not to mention according to Kant's memory.
Even the Lion Principality, with such a city defense, would still have to pay a huge price to conquer it.
Now located in the Nalun Desert, the environment is cruel, lack of water, logistics supplies, and no siege equipment. It is impossible to siege the city for a long time. The only option is to retreat, unless it is stupid enough to waste in vain and cause the entire army to be wiped out!
But those aristocrats with evil intentions don't know.
They are naive enough to know nothing.
Kant has perfectly hidden his fangs and claws, curled up like a kitten.
But when he fully stretched out, everyone will be horrified.
An adult lion appeared in front of him, and with its well-proportioned body, sharp fangs and sharp claws, he officially announced whose territory this once desolate Nalun Desert is now!
A real lion can only grow up in a sea of corpses and blood.
They were Kant's stepping stones.
It's just that the cruel fact has not been discovered yet.
Kant did not choose to go to the depths of the desert at this critical moment, but stayed in the sentry oasis, inspected his territory, and at the same time chose buildings to build his castle more perfect.
For example, more high-end houses are built in every nook and cranny.
It is almost close to the residential area and the handicraft area, and found gaps in the military area.
Another 200 houses were built.
All 300 high-end houses like two-storey bungalows filled the interior of the castle. There is no gap for more buildings to be built, but the advantage it brings is a large population!
The population of "Drehem" Castle has exploded to 3,000 people.
A lot of food is consumed every day.
The output of the agricultural area alone is no longer enough. Now all the stocks in the past are being consumed, and a large amount of grain must be purchased from the Zhiwadin caravan to barely maintain the food and drink of these thousands of people.
Don't forget, there are nearly 700 troops!
In order to ensure food supply, Kant specially formed a caravan of 20 camels.
Exclusively for food transportation.
All the prey obtained from the crazy hunting in the Sanwaya Mountains were made into bacon and air-dried meat, and then transported by this group of camel caravans to the sentry oasis, increasing the amount of meat eaten and reducing the consumption of grains.
Eating only bread will make you hungry quickly. Having meat not only strengthens your body, but also reduces grain consumption.
It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
But the food issue does not need to worry too much.
Kant has built a salt mine station at the top of the sand dunes at the salt mine, and sent 50 farmers to collect coarse salt. Every 2 days, a caravan of 50 dromedary camels will be transported there, and the salt will be collected within 2 days. 600 bags of coarse salt were transported back to the castle, and then boiled for 3 days to make 400 bags of fine white salt.
In the end, a caravan of 50 camels was transported to the central station for sale in two days. The first wave of harvest will be a large amount of silver coins, and then Kant will collect various materials.
Ironware, agricultural tools, food, and cloth are all needed, including precious spices.
And the precious golden eagle!
Manid has already inquired about the news that 100 large silver coins can be exchanged for 1 golden eagle.
But this price is just the regular price.
On the black market in the Principality of Lions, 120 large silver coins have already been sold to exchange for 1 golden eagle.
This is also due to the developed agriculture and handicraft industry of the Lion Principality, so the economic prosperity is the reason. If it is in those barren places, the price of a golden eagle will often be even higher than 150 large silver coins.
For example, in the barren North County Territory, the price of a golden eagle is 150 large silver coins.
It depends on the relationship if you want to exchange.
Only Viscount Wayne, who commands the entire North County Territory, has the ability to exchange.
The golden eagle is really very precious.
It is said that the mysterious mage's tower will collect golden eagles, even the temples of the gods are no exception. It can be seen that golden eagles are precious materials. Compared with silver coins made of silver, these golden falcons are cast into palm-sized, golden-lighted falcons. The value is higher and the audience is wider.
Of course, Manid also used his relationship with Baron Dylan at that time to exchange 200 large silver coins for a golden eagle in his hands. In Kant's system exchange, he actually got a price of 1,000 dinars.
This is simply a surprise!
Kant did not expect that the price of this kind of gold made into the golden eagle currency of the falcon would be so high.
It is much more valuable than simply selling gold.
After all, a bag of gold is only sold for 50,000 dinars. If there are golden eagles of equal weight, there must be more than 50 in a bag. It is estimated that there will be at least 100+, which represents 100,000 dinars!
Just this week, Kant was preparing for the future.
He plans to go to the salt trade in person this time.
After all, this is the first time for open trade at the central station!
