The Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 60: Salt mines preparing for evacuation

Views:

This news cannot be spread outside.

The secret that only Kant himself knows, if he is not strong enough, he will rot in his stomach.

Although he knows that if this news is released, it will cause a huge wave in the Principality of Lions and even other human kingdoms, which is enough to easily wash away the ridicule Mr. Hank is currently suffering.

Kant still made this decision.

He won't tell anyone.

Not to mention the evidence that he knew to find the lost city.

It will not let this golden disc with the sun's holy pattern reappear in the eyes of the world.

It's a crime to conceive Bi.

This is the simplest, most obvious, and most direct reason.

Even if Kant will be widely known because of the discovery of the golden disc and the evidence that the Lost City once existed in this desert, he will even be able to go to the academy and become honorable and decent, and he will be in the upper class without any scruples. Professors and senior scholars who are inferior to noble status.

But he still won't say it.

All of this assumes that Kant can survive.

Because he understands.

Some nobles in the Lion Principality don't like him, and even hate him.

Especially on the top of Kant's head, the eldest brother who is not a few years older than him, the eldest son of the Duke of Cameron, will inherit the duchy's first heir in the future, but he doesn't want to be happy in the Lion Duchy. live domestically.

out of scope.

Exile to the barren and dangerous Nalun Desert is the bottom line they can accept.

So Kant understood.

Now he has discovered the Lost City again, and found the evidence of the existence of the legendary Golden City. Maybe he can find the real Lost City after further exploration, the city made of gold and only the blood of the gods can live.

Undoubtedly touched the interests of everyone in the Lion Principality.

Those greedy, cunning, and bottomless nobles will use the fastest time to organize troops in the territory.

Use the most direct way to occupy the sentry oasis.

And Kant, the Baron of the Nalun Desert, who currently has only 41 Swadian heavy cavalry and 46 Swadian light infantry as the main force, and the controller of the sentry oasis, will die in unknown.

After false and secretly joyful mourning, this place was returned to the control of those nobles.

The lost city, the immeasurable gold, is a wealth that no one can resist.

It can turn the calmest person into the craziest lunatic.

Greed is the most terrifying.

[Yes/No to give the item to the system to absorb?]

On Retina, the dialog flickers again.

Kant reacted and nodded without hesitation: "Yes, absorb."

In the eyes, data flow appears.

The entire golden disc was directly wrapped in the data flow. With a slight shaking, within a few minutes, this golden disc was completely absorbed by the system just like the gems and two pages of papyrus before, and completely disappeared from this world. superior.

Only in this way can Kant rest assured.

The system solved his confidant's serious problem, which made Kant slightly relieved.

"Master Kant, you seem to have a bad complexion."

Fatis came from a distance, saw Kant's pale and dignified face, and asked considerately, "Do you need some water? I heard that a well was found here."

"I'm fine." Kant's expression returned to calm.

Seeing that Kant didn't say much or ask more questions, Fatis just looked at the well blackened by the fire and said in surprise: "Is this the well? It can supply 2,000 gnolls with daily drinking water. See The water storage capacity is definitely not low.”

"Lord Fatis, the well is seven or eight meters deep, but the water in the well is less than two meters deep."

The light infantry who went down to the well before was drying their wet clothes, and at the same time reported: "When I went down, I found a water hole that was bubbling. I guess there must be an underground river underneath."

Fatis was slightly stunned: "Underground river?"

"That's right." The light infantry nodded affirmatively.

Kant looked at the south side thoughtfully, and speculated: "It is estimated that there is an underground river with plenty of water at the bottom of this Nalun Desert. The sentry oasis should also come from this underground river."

"It should be like this." Fatis nodded in agreement.

Oases and water wells would not appear strangely in the desert, and the reason for their appearance meant that there were underground rivers flowing in the stratum.

After all, the bottom of the sand layer is the soil layer, which can store a lot of water.

"correct."

Fatis suddenly thought of something, and said to Kant: "My lord, remember you said that not far from the wolf man, there is a natural salt mine formed after the lake dried up?"

"That's right." Kant nodded.

Thinking of the situation he had scouted before, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "There are also many jackals there."

Fatis looked solemn: "I think we'll be busy again next time."

"This is necessary." Kant smiled lightly, his face was still calm, but his eyes were a little fiery: "Those white salt are still waiting for us there."

Now that this situation is brought up, choose to resolve it as soon as possible.

Kant's character is decisive, and he doesn't like to procrastinate.

The Gnoll tribe had been reduced to ashes and ruins, and even if they continued to search, they couldn't find too many valuable things.

Even the coarse salt collected by those jackals was completely charred, making it inedible at all.

For Kant, even the salt mine is about to be acquired, so what if he loses the coarse salt? Obtaining the source of salt production in the end is equivalent to obtaining an almost inexhaustible source of income!

Charcoal from the Sanwaya Mountains.

Natural salt mines in the Nalun Desert.

And the two water sources that Kant mastered.

On behalf of it, it is the fine white salt that only appears in noble banquets.

The price per bag is almost equal to the same weight of silver.

Even the poor-quality coarse salt can bring out big silver coins in the pockets of nobles and gentlemen, and the profit is not inferior to robbery!

"Go on!"

Kant rode on his war horse and waved forward.

Behind them, 41 heavily armed Swadian light infantry lined up neatly, advancing like a snake.

The 46 Swadian heavy cavalry are at the back and press down on the speed. They are somewhat inconvenient to move even with their horses and horses in full armor. Although the horses are not completely sunk in the sand, the speed of their advance is still not comparable to that of the plains. compared to.

Both Kant and Fatis understood this fact.

Five Salander riders in chain armor and iron helmets acted as scouts.

Riding Sarande desert horses that are more suitable for the desert environment, without horse armor on their bodies, they still appear to be quite flexible when running in the desert. After all, the Sarande people are a desert nation.

Along the way, they also found sporadic gnolls.

Seeing Kant's troops was like encountering a demon's troops, and they ran away in fright.

Obviously these gnolls were the ones who were defeated before.

Kant and Fatis didn't care about them either.

Although his troops are now less than 100 in terms of number, their actual combat effectiveness has not only doubled, but several times, compared to his previous 300 troops!

Just by looking at the equipment of these troops, one can tell from the iron armor under the linen robes that they are all elites in all battles.

In the Principality of Lions, it can be regarded as a small elite army led by nobles.

The march continued.

The horse draws the carriage, neither fast nor slow.

However, since they found the well, everyone in Kant didn't feel sorry for the water stored in the water bag. After all, there was a ready-made road from the wolf man tribe to the natural salt mine, and it only took one day to go back and forth.

When Kant was investigating, it took less than half a day to ride the horse.

The Gnoll had already stepped on the road, and the hard sand layer was the best boost for the wheels and horseshoes.

Take a short break at noon.

After eating lunch, drinking enough water, and resting, Kant and the others continued to set off at two o'clock in the afternoon.

time passed.

The sun gradually slanted westward.

Dusk came.

They are also about to reach the natural salt mine.

The very conspicuous sign, the mummy of the wolf man on the top of the dune, is dragging a long shadow in the evening sun, which is particularly terrifying.

But this time, Kant didn't just bring those few desert robbers with him, but a regular army with well-organized heavy cavalry and infantry and quite strong combat effectiveness!

Rush straight up the dunes.

The Swadian light infantry, who felt in the way, kicked out and kicked down the mummy of the wolf man tied to the wooden post.

Just under the sand dunes in front of you.

These Jackals, who already knew about the downfall of the Wolf tribe, were packing up and seemed to be preparing to evacuate.

Kant narrowed his eyes slightly.

He found quite a few interesting guys.

Because in his eyes, he found more than 30 gnolls, wearing chain mail and holding two-handed battle axes, urging other smaller gnolls like a warlord, carrying bags of salt and preparing to leave .
