This kind of merit can't be decided in a while, Du You left the badge here, took a spare badge with him, and then went back to his residence to rest.

Du You didn't choose to live in the aristocratic residential area, he knew that those noble children didn't like him.

flew back this way, although he didn't experience any fighting, Du You was still very tired. It's not really physically tired, it's mentally tired. After all, rushing all the way back from the enemy area, this invisible pressure is not small.

In fact, if you can meet the enemy and fight a few times on the road, maybe there won't be so much pressure.

On the other side, the City Lord's Mansion is very noisy now. The lord of the city and officials of all ranks, including those nobles, all gathered here. Except for Siloha, who had not returned to the oasis, everyone else who could name them gathered together.

"This time, we managed to capture the oasis on the other side, and although there was no way to capture it, the sandmen were slaughtered by them, and for the next ten years, it is impossible for the sandmen to gather too much power. ”

Everyone was in high spirits, after all, they were really tired from preparing for war with the sandmen every year.

"Why not destroy the oasis on the other side, if it weren't for that oasis, the sandmen wouldn't have gathered so much. As long as the oasis is still around, sooner or later the sandmen will run over there to survive. A nobleman spoke.

The representative of the nobility glanced at him coldly, and another person next to him immediately said: "Don't talk nonsense, that oasis can't be destroyed, the oasis is the wind and sand barrier of our White Rock City." Without that oasis, the wind and sand will continue to erode, and it is very likely that our White Rock City, including the imperial border behind, will become a desert. ”

The nobleman knew that he had said the wrong thing and closed his mouth, but his eyes were still full of unconvincing.

The representative of the nobility also spoke: "The real use of White Rock City is not to guard against the Quicksand Empire, the real use of our place is to train troops. As long as the Quicksand Empire does not go to war with us in an all-round way, this kind of petty fight is nothing. If there is no oasis, who are we going to train? ”

At this time, many people who didn't know about White Rock City understood the role of White Rock City.

The city lord coughed, and then continued: "Now, we have two plans, let's discuss them. ”

After a pause, the lord continued: "The first plan, we are going to build a small castle on the side of the oasis, as well as some defensive measures, on the one hand, to prevent the sandmen from coming back, and on the other hand, to train the soldiers. I think this castle defense system can be maintained for at least five years. ”

"If this plan succeeds, then the time for the Sanders to assemble a large-scale offensive force may continue to be delayed. Maybe not ten years, but fifteen years, or even longer. ”

Although they have been training with the sandmen all along, it is not appropriate for the sandmen to gather too many at a time. This will not only fail to have the effect of training troops, but will also cause them heavy losses.

Once the conflict breaks out too much and the sandmen gather too much, then there will be some powerful existences among the sandmen.

If it weren't for the haste of gathering the sandmen this time, even the existence of the third order would have appeared a lot, and it was not certain whether there would be a fourth order, so it would be really dangerous to block the sandmen.

If you're not careful, even White Rock City will be threatened with a broken city. As the lord of the city, the biggest meaning of existence is actually to prevent the sandmen from gathering too much. That's why it's important to go out and clean up the sandmen every year.

But even so, every winter, a large number of sandmen gather and attack them.

"This issue is a matter for your military, and it has nothing to do with us, I just want to know if this plan will affect the interests of our nobles. The representative of the nobility spoke.

The city lord shook his head: "Of course not, although some things are not very good, but there are still those who help to make meritorious contributions under the nobles, and they can be sent to the oasis for defense." ”

"It's a matter of time. ”

"It's a rotation system, and it's up to them to decide whether they want to stay there, rotate, or transfer back. But there are quotas, and they can't all be replaced by nobles. ”

It is true that the nobles' subordinates are strong, but there is a big problem, that is, none of their subordinates obey orders. It's okay to go heads-up, a war of a certain scale, so forget it.

"Then we don't have a problem. The nobles exchanged words for a while, and the nobles' representatives finally agreed.

Seeing them like this, the city lord was also relieved. What I am most worried about is that these nobles will make trouble, if it is on the side of the military, even if they say it alone, these are also troubles.

"Then I'll talk about the second plan, the griffons have hatched normally, and according to that material, these griffons can be domesticated. In a few years, we'll have our own griffon riders to use. ”

Everyone's eyes sparkled, griffin knight, this is a very noble profession even in the empire.

It's just that their place is too remote and they don't have the means of training in this area. I had obtained the means of domestication of griffins before, so I dared to establish a legion of griffin knights.

Now that training manual has proved useful, everyone is very excited. Civilians become griffon knights, and that will rise in status. And the nobleman became a griffin knight, which is also a very face-saving thing. Many aristocrats, but they value face more than anything else, which is of course a good thing.

"There is also the training method of sand snakes and sand sculptures, although the sand sculptures are not as suitable for our knights as griffins, but there are more of them, they can be used as consumables, and the same is true for sand snakes, which can be used to deal with the sand man's ability to burrow into the ground. ”

The city lord said loudly: "So, I am ready to take the Black Rock Canyon under control and start the castle construction plan of the Black Stone Canyon again." As long as I control Blackstone Canyon, I have a steady stream of griffins, and the environment there is also suitable for raising sand snakes and sand sculptures. This side of our city is not suitable for raising these beasts. ”

Everyone was shocked, but they didn't expect the city lord's second plan to be this.

"I'm against it. A high-ranking military officer immediately said loudly: "The influence of the Black Rock Canyon is too great, once the castle is established there, the sandmen will definitely attack wildly, and it may even attract the sandmen within the quicksand empire." ”

"I'm also against it, the last time the plan to build a castle was destroyed by them like crazy, and the manpower and material resources consumed were too great, I'm not saying that the griffons are useless, but we can use other methods.
