However, Kant also had to be prepared.
In Kant's eyes, his own safety was never a trivial matter.
"This operation is led by me."
Kant lightly looked at the table with his fingers.
But he frowned slightly, and after pausing for a moment, he said, "Let the five Sarande riders we have and ten desert robbers serve as guards, and go to the Stone Pass together."
"Okay." Manid nodded. For the military field that he is not good at, he is only responsible for following the arrangements.
And Fatis frowned slightly, and suggested to Kant very worriedly: "My lord, why don't you bring some more people over there?"
"No need." Kant smiled, "These people are enough."
The nobles of the Lion Principality will not allow strange, large groups of strange troops to appear in their territory, even in Kant's impression, the baron of the Stone Pass was conferred as a knight for his military exploits The newly promoted baron, but when looking at his own territory, compared with those old nobles who know how to endure and compromise, they are more impulsive and aggressive.
"Warrior noble." Kant shook his head helplessly, but there was a sarcasm in the corner of his mouth.
This is the mocking title of the Lion Principality for those who have no background, only know how to fight and kill to fight, and get the noble class. It is the same as the title of the noble class and court nobles that the merchants donated money. derogatory term.
Without the so-called aristocratic inheritance, the foundation brought by the marriage cannot be truly included in the aristocratic circle.
In fact, not only the Principality of Lions, but also other human nations are similar.
"Do you want to bring some Swadian heavy cavalry?"
Fatis still dissuaded and said: "With these elite heavy cavalry, even if there are only 10 of them, it will be a deterrent to those who harbor evil intentions."
"Although this is the case, it is too ostentatious."
Kant shook his head, glanced at the two Swadian heavy cavalry who were standing guard at the door, and sighed softly in his heart.
These heavy cavalry are indeed elite.
Wearing a full-faced flat-topped cavalry helmet, chain armor with iron plates and thin rings on the body, a linen robe and a gray cloak that hangs down to the calf behind, lock gloves, and iron-inlaid cowhide boots, matching The mace hanging on the belt, the cavalry shield under the cloak, and the cavalry lance held tightly with one hand and being stuck on the ground are like a bright light in the dark night.
Just this dress, it's really too conspicuous!
Moreover, even the military horses under the crotch are covered with chain mail and linen jackets. The sound of rattling while walking, and their appearance like steel puppets add to the visual impact of these heavy cavalry.
You know, this equipment and attire are not shabby in the elite combat sequence of the Lion Principality.
Only knights who belonged to the noble reserve could wear this equipment.
Captain Rowan, who escorted Kant back then, and the 19 cavalry under him were only equipped with chain mail.
For other cavalrymen of ordinary civilian origin, it is already remarkable that they can put on chain mail made of iron rings on their bodies.
"We're here to trade."
Kant shook his head, still sighed helplessly: "It's not good to be too ostentatious."
Fatis also understood Kant's thoughts, so he could only nod: "That would be a pity."
But think about it, the Salander cavalry is also a level 4 unit, and its combat effectiveness is not too bad. It is absolutely no problem to lead 10 desert robbers to escort Kant and Manid back and forth.
There will be no enemies in the Nalun Desert.
The biggest function of the guards is to deter some evil-minded guys after reaching the stone pass.
For example, there are ubiquitous thieves, thieves, or those robbers who dare to appear in the wild to rob houses. In fact, in the Principality of Lions, the security problem has not been very good due to years of wars.
Due to the proximity of the Sangwaya Mountains in the Stone Pass, there are many demonized creatures and gnolls, and the security problem is even worse.
Even in the villages under its jurisdiction, the peasants are half-farmers and half-thieves.
When there is work and farm work, they are peaceful and honest farmers. Once there is no work, and during the slack season, in order to subsidize the family or make a small fortune, they act as bandit gangs in groups, which is a common phenomenon.
This is not without reason.
The Principality of Xiongshi is divided into three counties: North County, South County, and East County. The North County where Jianshi Pass is located is the poorest.
Although there is the Sanwaya Mountains as a barrier, the heat of the Nalun Desert still has an impact.
The land in North County is relatively barren, and there is also a slight sandy soil. The only way to continue to the south, the plain behind the Lion Mountain, is the most fertile plain in the country due to its proximity to the Reese Niston River and the vast swamp lake. The area is responsible for 50% of the country's grain production area, and it is also the South County directly under the Lion Duke Cameron.
As for the East County, it is the territory of the Countess of Elsara. Although she is Kant's aunt and Cameron's cousin, her relationship is cold and she basically maintains a semi-closed state of no contact.
Thinking of this, Kant also came back to his senses.
Fatis and Manid were still whispering about safety issues with each other.
Kant couldn't help laughing at himself: "I think too much."
He went to Jianshi Pass this time only to explore the way, and had no intention of going deep into the Lion Principality at all.
Not even in the future.
As long as he finds the agent that Kant himself pre-arranged and gives everything to him, the interests of the Lion Principality will have nothing to do with Kant himself. He is only responsible for delivering the goods and will not be involved in the vortex that can eat people.
Kant certainly understood.
In fact, he was also testing the bottom line of the Principality of Lions.
Use the salt trade and contact with the rocky pass to test how the nobles thought of themselves, a guy who did not die and was lucky enough to obtain a natural salt mine after he chose to leave the Lion Castle and exile himself to the Nalun Desert .
Hastily penetrated into the interior of the Principality of Lions
Kant would not do it.
He's not stupid either.
Before leaving, Kant also arranged the few government affairs in the sentry oasis.
Inspected the construction site and checked the deployment of troops.
After everything was in place, he handed over the authority of the sentry oasis to Fatis with confidence.
Kant still believed in this Swadian knight, and he also affirmed his ability.
It's not that Kant doubted the troops and generals recruited by the system.
The main reason is that these people who come into the system have their own emotions and wisdom, and they are all living people. Although they are absolutely loyal to Kant, they must be carefully arranged because of their different personal abilities.
For example, assigning a careless guy to a night sentry position in an important position.
For example, let cowardly and incompetent soldiers act as the vanguard in wartime, the most advanced position.
It even allows two people who have conflicts and secretly hate to work together on a certain task.
With such an arrangement, it would be strange if it was not done!
This point has been fully reflected in the game, just like two generals whose personalities don't match or who don't like each other, even if they are forcibly twisted together, one of them will choose to leave the team within a few days.
This is Kant's concern.
Fortunately, the current soldiers are all upgraded from blood and fire, and they are all ruthless and tough standard fighters.
Fatis and Manid are also friends with similar personalities.
Kant was relieved.
Taking advantage of nothing to do in the afternoon, Kant spent 300 dinars to recruit 10 desert bandits this week at the desert bandit camp, and at the same time arranged for the five more advanced Sarande riders to guide them to familiarize themselves with the environment.
And the reward, 10 dromedary camels, was also concretized by Kant.
These camels will be the main force of the salt trade in the future.
It is also the most important means of transportation to provide raw materials for the sentry oasis, braving the scorching temperature to transport the raw coarse salt from the natural salt mines in the Nalun Desert, and the charcoal from the Sanwaya Mountains.
The name "Ship of the Desert" is not for nothing.
Everything is ready.
Just wait for the next day to leave.
