Chapter 007. Establishment of Dehrim
Kant understood the mood of these cavalrymen.
Therefore, there was no anger at them for leaving indifferently and not even saying hello.
It's the opposite.
These cavalrymen, who had only experienced a bloody battle, did not have the joy of victory at all.
Whether it is the captain Rowan or his 19 cavalry subordinates, they are full of resentment towards Kant, and even a kind of resentment is suffocating in their chests, almost like a volcano that is about to erupt!
Gnolls are losers, and so are they.
The victor was Kant.
The Baron, who has mastered the sentry oasis, is the real winner.
"Goodbye." Kant watched them disappear into the sand dunes.
The Swadia recruits who were in charge of the guard also came over with spears and reported: "My lord, they are all gone. ”
"yes, they're fast." Kant nodded.
This is also normal, after all, they are very mobile cavalry troops, and without the drag of carriages and infantry, there is absolutely no problem with increasing the marching speed several times.
It is estimated that it will take less than 3 days to cross the Sanwaya Mountains again and return to the suitable Lion Principality.
"But it's better to leave."
Kant breathed a sigh of relief, at least the sentry oasis was already in his hands.
And these cavalry of the Duchy of Lion, the natives of this world continue to stay here, for Kant really don't know what to do, after all, the next territory construction needs to rely on the system.
When the time comes, Kant will have to find an excuse to let them go.
Because cues from the system have also appeared on his retina.
【Ding... After some fighting, the enemy was routed]
[Temporary Mission: "Exterminate the Gnoll Tribe" completed]
[Reward: 1 Desert Bandit Stronghold×]
[Evaluation: Wonderful strategy, convincing tactics, this exhilarating victory is commendable.] 】
On the retina, a dialog box appears with the temporary system complete.
But there's more to the dialog than that.
【Ding... Someone in your unit can level up]
In exterminating the gnoll tribe, Kant's soldiers were also fighting hard.
And the results obtained are not small.
The situation was in chaos, the gnolls lost their will to fight, and began to flee like a mess of headless flies, many of whom were killed directly by the oncoming Swadian soldiers, armed with spears and scythes.
So the experience gained by the soldiers was many.
For these soldiers, who are still in their infancy, upgrading is also a matter of course.
[Upgradeable Class: Swadia Peasant ×20]
[Costs 10 dinars per person, can be upgraded to: Swadia Recruits]
The option to upgrade came as a surprise to Kant.
The remaining 20 Swadia farmers were able to upgrade all of them.
What surprised Kant even more was that the Swadia recruits who had just been promoted could also continue to be upgraded.
[Upgradeable Class: Swadia Recruit×10]
[Costs 20 dinars per person, can be upgraded to: Swadia militia]
Armed with spears and wearing leather armor, the recruits were the main force of Kant's infantry in this battle, stabbing most of the gnolls who dared to approach them with their sharp spears.
It can be said that these Swadian recruits are more than the peasants who are more than the most basic combatants.
"However, the dinars spent are somewhat seriously overspent."
Kant frowned slightly.
20 Swadian peasants are upgraded to new recruits for 200 dinars.
10 Swadia recruits to upgrade to the militia also cost 200 dinars.
Dinar is the name of a currency.
However, it only exists in the system, and can only be used and obtained by Kant.
But what made Kant a little anxious was that the cost of 400 dinars would almost empty his savings, and even if he came to this world and secretly did various temporary tasks, he would only save 500 dinars.
The upgrade had already cost 100 dinars before.
Now the Svadia soldiers are going to be upgraded again, which is equivalent to all his deposits, and they have to say goodbye to him completely.
"It's a bit of a frustration." Kant sighed.
Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he still said silently in his heart: "System, all upgrades." ”
The situation is here.
These dinars must not be saved.
Kant was a human being, with experience in past and present lives, and of course he was able to distinguish the situation.
Arriving in the Narun Desert, an oasis of sentry hanging alone outside the Lion Principality, Kant can be judged to have lost everything he had in the past, and he has also lost the help from the Lion Principality.
His biggest reliance is still on himself, that is, these Swadia soldiers from the system!
Mysteric system data descended on the void.
20 Swadia farmers are wrapped in the data link and are starting to get stronger.
Spears, leather armor, leather helmets, short axes around the waist, and broad shields on the back.
And the 10 Swadia recruits were upgraded to the Swadia militia.
The stature has become stronger, the spear has been replaced by a heavy iron-clad spear in the front, and under the linen robe is an iron-inlaid armor with better defensive power, plus an armor-piercing fighting hoe, and a thicker and wide shield, which has completely departed from the appearance of a peasant.
Although it is called the Swadia militia, it is simply the appearance of a regular army.
In Kant's opinion, these militiamen are qualified to participate in real war, even in the Duchy of Lion!
"Hats off, Lord Kant."
Twenty Swadia recruits, as well as 10 Swadia militiamen, lined up and stood with their heads held high as if they were in a military parade.
This made Kant smile a little: "Good. ”
With these 30 infantrymen capable of fighting, he can finally occupy the sentry oasis with confidence.
Even if the gnolls who were defeated and fled into the desert organized a counterattack again, Kant would not be without the strength to fight, on the contrary, he would firmly occupy the oasis and develop better.
"The flowers of the desert need blood to water."
Kant took a deep breath of air, the strong smell of blood still lingering between his mouth and nose.
Looking up at the sky, the last bit of the sun's afterglow has fallen, and the bright moon appears in the sky, releasing the bright moonlight, accompanied by the whole bright galaxy, bringing a sense of tranquility that belongs to the night.
It's just that in the sentry oasis, the corpses of jackals all over the ground and the strong smell of blood have ruined this artistic conception.
"Clean up the battlefield."
Kant waved his hand and commanded the soldiers, "Gather the corpses of these gnolls and burn them." ”
"Understood." The soldiers responded, and they took action.
The corpses of these gnolls are burned to prevent contamination of the water source after decay.
After all, in the desert, the water resources of the oasis are precious strategic materials, and these filthy corpses decompose and form various germs, once they seep into the sand and pollute the water source, it is really regrettable.
This is a point to note.
The soldiers knew the same, so they worked together to drag the corpses of the gnolls, all piled up under the dunes a few hundred meters away.
Kant, on the other hand, closed his eyes and communicated with the system in his mind.
The main quest, which has been delayed for 16 years, can finally be carried out.
Now that Kant occupies the sentry oasis and has the help of the system, he can establish villages, develop his own power, and then control the entire Narun Desert, or extend his tentacles back into the lion principality.
"System, is it possible to build a village here?"
Kant asked silently.
"Yes." The system replied simply, and a dialog box popped up.
【Ding... After careful exploration, you finally discovered this area]
[Main Quest: "Build a Village" completed]
[Reward: 1000 Dinars]
[Introduction: This is an oasis in the barren desert, and how to develop your village is debatable.] 】
The dialog box disappears.
Before Kant's eyes, the data from the system began to entangle and condense, and a two-story building made of stone and wood was finally embodied in the world.
It is the system of traditional architecture of the Swadia Kingdom.
At the same time, a new system dialog box appears.
【Ding... Your village has been established, please name it]
[Note: After naming, the lord interface will be opened]
"Name?"
Kant was slightly stunned, looked at the building in front of him, and blurted out, "Drehem." ”
The most famous city in the Swadia Kingdom, located in the center of the entire Calradia continent, the famous place of the Four Wars, and also known as the strongest defense city in the Swadia Kingdom.
【Ding... Village Name: Dehrim]
The village is officially named.
And with Kant's affirmation, De Herim's interface also appeared on the retina.
【Drehem】
【Lord: Kant】
【Category:Swadia Village】
[Population: 50 people]
[Building: Consulate Hall]
[Can be built: houses, fences, mills, watchtowers, wells]
[Current troops: Swadia Recruits (20), Swadia Militia (10)]
【Recruitable: Swadia Recruits】
[Comment: This humble village is called "Dehrim", nestled in a small oasis with a worrying future.] 】
Before Kant's eyes, the flow of data disappeared completely.
And this village, which he named "Dehrim", finally appeared in front of him.
It may be a bit generous to say that it is a village.
Nowadays, Dehrim only has the Consulate in the center of the village, which is often where the village elders live, and the system is full of NPCs and background buildings for players to obtain quests.
It's just that when you come to this world, it's a real building.
"Your Excellency."
Appeared with a compliment, which made Kant stunned.
Right next to the stone building, the thick wooden door was opened, and Swadia peasants in linen robes were rushing out, bowing their heads respectfully and touching their chests, saluting Kant.
"Hmm." Kant nodded.
Only then did he remember that the village interface of "Decherim" also included a population of 50 people.
No more, no less, there were exactly 50 Swadia peasants standing in front of them.
