"Oh oh oh--"

At dawn.

As the initial ray of sunlight pierced the dignified darkness, the sound of the sand grouse rang through the oasis.

This is a sign of dawn.

The drowsiness of the entire sentry oasis was cleared. People opened houses and windows, stretched deeply, greeted each other, and laughed and laughed at the jokes on weekdays, and ushered in a new day.

The citizens responsible for the bell tower timekeeping have also woken up.

Put on your clothes and look at the sun in the sky, the time has been estimated in your heart.

It's about 5 o'clock in the morning.

Walking out of his room, he hurried towards the clock tower.

People and farmers have also appeared on the street, greeting each other with a smile on their faces. Although they have come from different places, but since they have all come to the sentry oasis, they are themselves.

It is a resident of the sentry oasis, a close fellow of the miracle land, and a lord of Lord Kant.

The peasant women carried the bucket to the spring water.

They get up early to prepare breakfast for many civilians and soldiers.

This is not an easy job.

The people in charge of the bell tower sighed with emotion. After all, it was food for more than a thousand people, three meals a day, and a supper for the night staff. If these strong and strong peasant women were busy early in the morning, then there must be soldiers or The civilians are hungry.

After breakfast is busy, it is lunch, and after noon rest, it is dinner.

After the dinner is over, it is the supper prepared again.

Plus everyone’s wooden bowls, dishes, cutlery and other tableware need to be washed.

To this end, 50 peasant women applied to James, who managed the current chores, and mobilized 50 other citizens to help. Otherwise, so much work was really too busy, and there was very little time to sleep and rest.

This citizen is especially fortunate when he thinks that his work only needs to ring the clock.

Come to the clock tower.

Next to it is a towering ruling hall made of stone.

The citizen swallowed subconsciously.

At the entrance of the ruling hall, there are two Swadia sergeants. Under the linen robe of the outer cover, it is a bulging double-layered chain armor. It is just holding a thick iron-shaped fan shield and carrying a heavy sword in the waist. Bring a sharp and fierce atmosphere.

This is the strongest elite infantry in Svadia.

Any man eager to build meritorious career, secretly envy the existence in his heart.

But he did not forget his job.

Enter the top floor of the clock tower.

A bronze clock was hanging in the center of the top floor, next to it was a wooden ram. With his hands gently exerted, at the rhythm already remembered in his heart, the ram hit the bronze clock with clever force.

"Boom—Boom—Boom—Boom—Boom—”

The gentle bell suddenly appeared in the bell tower.

And as the bell wall vibrated, the bells representing time also passed into the ears of everyone in the oasis.

It's five o'clock at dawn.

After the citizens knocked the bronze clock, next to the chair, they sat down and looked at the busy figure that began to appear on the street below, with a pleasant smile on his face, and then his task was to knock every half an hour, to knock It's good to hit the full bell. Although boring, it is extremely simple for him who was in charge of the clock tower in the city before immigration.

Leaning on the wall boringly.

He looked up slightly.

Just at the top of the clock tower, the first day he came here to work, he found the yellow disc inlaid at the top, which seemed to be made of gold, and it was painted with inexplicable and mysterious lines.

The infantryman who was in charge of telling the time had warned him not to hit this golden disc.

Because this is the private property of Lord Kant.

Of course he understands.

Also dare not move.

The noble's private property is sacred.

If there is an accident, he, a little citizen, is estimated to have to pay his life.

There are always many citizens who died in bankruptcy due to offending the nobles on the mainland of Kaladea.

But today he couldn't help frowning.

I don’t know why. He found that today’s golden disc seems to be much brighter than when he first came to the clock tower. As the sun rose, the golden disc embedded in the top floor and the attic, Brightness is becoming more and more intense, it seems to be absorbing the sun's light, and secretly reserve.

He was puzzled.

While thinking, there was a lively voice from the streets outside.

Shaking his head, he didn't pay much attention to it, he just took note of it in his heart.

It's on the street under the bell tower.

Lord Kant was walking out of the ruling hall, standing in front of the door and asking what to do. At the same time, some people brought the war horse and slowly walked toward the south gate under the guard of 40 Sarand riders.

Thirty dromedaries loaded with sacks followed the urging of 10 farmers.

………………

At dawn, the temperature is still slightly cold, but it is a good time to enter and exit in the desert.

Breakfast was finished half an hour ago.

Freshly baked bread, antelope meat, and a bunch of lamb oil mixed with salt and spices, this is to ensure the physical strength during the next trek, and also not to be hungry quickly because of easily digestible food. .

After leaving "Drechem", there will not be too much enjoyment.

"be careful."

Fatis and James stood in front of the city gate and said goodbye.

"Okay." Kant beckoned, leading the troops and camels toward the deep desert south.

Looking to the horizon in the distance.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion. The rolling hills of the Sunwaya Mountains seem to be faintly visible, but for them, it is indeed the destination of progress, the location of the Jianshi Pass.

Forty Sarand riders scattered around.

Holding a refined military spear in his hand, he looked coldly at the surrounding environment.

Occasionally, there were skinny, low-lying jackals, just like the discovery of Xintiandi, and the light horse rushed to the stomach. With the howling howl, the spear was stained with bright red blood, and then returned to the queue.

These riders in Sarande's chain armour are more powerful than those desert robbers.

After all, it belongs to heavy cavalry.

And it is more flexible assault cavalry among heavy cavalry.

Low-level jackals are dead when encountered.

Kant Zerma moved forward. Looking at these Sarande riders, his mind also showed that when he first went to the Hard Rock Pass, there were only five people, and the other were desert robbers. do not.

If you are in danger.

It is estimated that these 40 Sarand riders charged side by side with a gun, enough to defeat most enemies head-on.

This is a demonstration of strength.

It is also a guarantee of caravan safety.

The camel team behind was composed of 10 farmers and 30 dromedaries.

On the camel's back are 120 bags of fine white salt as trade goods, equivalent to 4 bags per camel, plus an additional 4 bags of food and water per camel, and feed for the war horses and camels.

The name of the desert boat is not in vain.

As it is now, it seems to be carrying a cargo like a flat boat, traveling briskly in the sand sea.

The march is not fast or slow.

The speed of the journey is very balanced.

The three-day desert trek can be supported by the war horses, not to mention these dromedaries.

From the sentry oasis to the Jianshi Pass, it's easy.

After all, the "elves" in these deserts are better at traveling long distances, using their amazing endurance and strength to overturn the entire desert, rather than transporting goods over short distances. For the camels, this is a trivial matter, killing chickens with a knife.

Kant couldn't help it.

At present, he only has trade partners with only the Jianshi Pass.

If he has a road to the north of the Naaran Desert and the trade partners on the coast of Mannheim, there is no need to mention it. At least a trade camel consisting of 50 dromedary camels and traversed the desert.

According to those who were captured by the higher jackals.

The coast of Mannheim, which is close to the Star Sea, is also one of the prosperous areas in the marine trade.

Every day, hundreds of merchant ships dock at the port of King Capital of the Grey Mane Kingdom, unloading a large amount of materials from overseas into warehouses, and at the same time loading various specialties on the coast of Mannheim into merchant ships, forming a perfect trade chain.

Just thinking about it is exciting.

Take the Principality of Lions, which Kant is most familiar with.

The Risniston River, which flows from the Eastern Everglades and moisturizes the soil on both sides of the river, is close to a 200-meter wide river. www.readwn.com~ In the busiest months, there are only dozens of merchant ships driving every day.

And the Lion's Wharf, which focuses on river trade, has no more than 30 commercial ships moored every day.

This is also due to the fact that the southern county directly under the Principality of the Lions is a grain-producing area.

If the River Resiston, meaning the river that has been transporting food, appears in the desolate North County, it is estimated that there will not be 5 commercial ships every day. More should be the transportation of supplies to the North County where the product is scarce, and Non-reciprocal and mutually beneficial trade transports large amounts of important grain along the river to other principalities or kingdoms to earn big silver coins.

"I really want to see the scenery of the coast of Mannheim."

There was a little anticipation on Kant's face.

An area dominated by ocean trade is not an area dominated by humans.

It really attracted him.

But this is just a concept, a simple idea. After all, the current "Drechem" has just resolved the expeditionary army of the Grey Mane Kingdom, which is basically a hostile state with the coast of Mannheim.

If you really rush to the north of the Nalun desert.

It is estimated that the final result is not to harvest trading partners, but to be hunted down by the sensitive Jackals.

For safety, Kant will not go to the coast of Mannheim for the time being.

When he completely established the sentry oasis as a copper wall and iron wall, so that the lion principality had to face his existence, Kant would choose to send a little elite to the coast of Mannheim to investigate the situation.

What he needs now is to make himself stronger as soon as possible.

After absorbing the dividends of this battle.

First upgrade "Drechem" to a castle, and at the same time set up a new ruling hall in the hidden area of ​​the Sanvaia Mountains, let your forces begin to spread and thrive at the same time!
