Lord of the Oasis Chapter 127

Chapter 127 - The Difference of Level 5 Troop Class

Just as Kant and Manid were talking, breakfast was served.

Later, Firentis also came to the council hall.

The three of them had their breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the long table in the hall. They would talked to each other while eating, which was also the time for the two of them to report matters to Kant. If there were any problems, they could discussed it in time.

Although the area of Drondheim was not large.

When the three of them gathered together, they could only communicated and chatted during the three meals.

As the Oasis Lookout developed, they would be busier and busier.

Breakfast was soon over.

Firentis continued to patrol the city defense of the fortress, while Manid went to the trade caravan. He continued to check the specific amount of the trade and planned in advance for the next trade to ensure more profits.

Oasis Lookout did not lacked silver coins, but a large amount of resources.

During breakfast, Kant had already instructed Manid.

Even though they earned lots of great silver coins from the table salt trade, they were going to pay those coins to Baron Dylan’s trade caravan. The ultimate goal was to exchange for a large amount of resources, whether it was grain, tools, linen, arrows, crossbows, and other military supplies.

After all, the fortress was located in the Nahrin Desert, a barren and desolate place

Other than the alkali soil that can be found everywhere, this “Drondheim” fortress basically lacked everything.

However, this was at least a good sign.

Oasis Lookout already had a trading partner, and they could sold table salt.

At the same time, they could exchanged it for the necessary supplies.

“Drondheim” was on the right track, and it was developing healthily.

Kant was also hesitant about this.

Perhaps he really needed to look for someone who good at internal affairs for help.

After all, Firentis was the military commander, and he was good at leading the Swadian heavy cavalry troops in battle.

Manid, on the other hand, was an elite merchant, and his main job was foreign trading. He normally led the troops and left for a week. Although he had some experience in dealing with internal affairs, he would went for trips for a long time, and the internal affairs still had to be handled by Kant himself.

Fortunately, there were not many internal affairs at the moment, so Kant could handled them.

Once Oasis Lookout continued to develop, a large number of miscellaneous matters would swarm over, and Kant would definitely overwhelmed.

The efficiency of governance was equal to the efficiency of development.

Kant deeply agreed with this statement.

If they governed the place with slow-paced and sluggish style, it would definitely delay the development of the estate.

“It’s all problems.”

Kant pinched his eyebrows.

It seemed that he was gradually getting on the right track, and the system did not released those simple system quest.

Kant could clearly felt that after he upgraded from a village to a fortress, the system’s attention on him had suddenly decreased. Originally, clearing a certain area or exploring a certain area would have a rich reward. But now, he only received some rewards after a battle or completed a difficult mission.

Among these, the side quest regarding the strange item was the easiest to complete.

The earth elemental giant and water elemental giant summoned by the strange item were easily killed by the level 5 troop class, the Ravenstern rangers. It seemed simple, but in fact, it was also partly due to luck.

And the reward was actually not that good.

Five chicken coops and ten beehives, as well as the rejuvenation spell that could make the date palm tree bloom, were not brought much help to the current Oasis Lookout. They could only slightly improve the food sources.

There were too few grouse in the chicken coops. Even if they laid eggs, they would not be enough for everyone to eat.

The honey produced in the beehives was even less. It could only be used for Kant and the two heroes to eat alone.

As for the fruit of date palm jungle…

It would probably took another two months.

Kant could not helped but shook his head and sighed. “Is the beginner honeymoon over?”

But there was no regret on his face.

Because regret and fear could not solve any problems at all.

Kant was determined.

He believed that only a reasonable plan with maximum efforts, he could ultimately succeeded.

In real life, there was only hard work.

Kant stood up and walked towards the third floor.

Although there were not many earth and water elemental giants that could be summoned every week, the elemental gemstones that he obtained were hard to fathom and he did not know what they could be used for, Kant also discovered the most important part of these two strange objects.

By summoning the earth elemental giant, one could obtain fertile soil after killing it.

By summoning the water elemental giant, one could obtain clear spring water after killing it.

This was especially important in the desert.

Kant sprinkled the soil on the sandy soil to increase fertility, while killing the water elemental giant would increase the amount of water in the lake. He still understood the fact that many a little make a mickle.

He found a wooden box in the cabinet.

After opening it, he took out two pages of strange objects that were placed on the velvet cloth.

[ The Page of Fertile Soil ] and [ The Page of Clear Spring ]

Kant left the council hall. At the same time, he instructed the guard at the door, “Pass down my order. Have 20 Ravenstern rangers retreat from the top floor and find me at the east gate.”

“Understood.”, the guard nodded and immediately ran to the top floor of the council hall to pass the order.

Kant came to the top of the city gate.

The six-meter tall and five-meter wide city gate was made entirely of stone. The two-meter tall reinforced attic made the city gate appeared even taller. The opening six windows were used as as shooting holes, one could see the both sides of the city walls from the windows, it formed a protruding crossfire.

“My Lord.”

In the attic at the top of the city gate, two Vaegirs archers were on guard.

Seeing Kant came over, they immediately saluted him with a solemn expression.

“Okay.”, Kant nodded.

The 20 Ravenstern rangers behind him also quickly walked over. Their neat and tidy movements made these Vaegirs archers slightly raise their eyebrows, one could saw the uncertainty in their eyes.

As level 4 troop class archers, they clearly sensed the aura of these level 5 archers.

However, the two sides did not confronted each other.

Vaegirs archers nodded slightly and took the lead to pay their respects. This was because they already knew that these 20 Ravenstern rangers, who were stationed at the top of the council hall, were masters of archery. They were able to compete with the Vaegirs marksman. They could even compared to the legendary master of Vaegirs marksman. They were not jealous or pretending to be cold.

The Kingdom of Vaegirs respected archery masters very much, even to the archery masters of other countries as well.

It doesn’t matter one has a late start, only the one who truly master the skill matters.

It was similar to this principle.

As a level-5 troop class, the Ravenstern rangers did not showed any so-called arrogance. Instead, they paid tribute to the Vaegirs archers.. They returned the salute with smiles and nods. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Kant smiled at this.

Internal strife was something he did not want to see. It would only caused no good to them.

Kant turned his head to look at the Swadani archers on the city wall who were curiously looking at him, he waved his hand and instructed them, “All Vaegirs archers and Swadian crossbowmen, retreat from this section of the city wall, leave it to the Ravenstern Rangers to defend the wall temporarily.”

“Understood.” ,the archers and crossbowmen immediately nodded and quickly retreated towards the other city walls.

The following battle was indeed not something they could participate in.

“Summon the earth elemental giants.”

Kant placed his hand on the [ the Page of Fertile Soil ] . Along with the mind communication system, a mysterious power instantly descended.

Just as his gaze passed through the shooting hole, more than 30 meters away from the city gate, the sand layer instantly rippled. Just like last week, seven earth elemental giants appeared in just a few seconds, taking heavy steps and arriving in this world.

However, their existence was obviously short-lived.

As a Level 5 troop class, not only were the Ravenstern rangers excellent in archery, they also clearly remembered the weaknesses of their enemies.

The light in giants’ eye sockets flickered.

This was the weakness of these seemingly strong and powerful earth elemental giants that were as thick as the earth!

The white heavy bow was instantly pulled into shape a full moon. The powerful strength of their arms and waist made the surrounding Vaegirs archers stared dumbfoundedly at them. The Vaegirs archers were unable to pull a heavy bow in an instant.

The Archers of the Kingdom of Vaegirs preferred to use longbows instead. They would only use heavy bows to train their strength.

This was due to the different positioning of the archers between the two countries.

The Ravenstern rangers did not hesitate at all. The cone-shaped arrows were ready. They looked at the earth elemental giant outside the city wall, who had already discovered this side and was walking forward with a bang, causing sand to splash out. They immediately released their fingers that were holding on to the bowstring.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh –”

The sound of air being torn apart can be heard.

The cone-shaped arrows instantly pierced the eye sockets of the giants that were shimmering with earthen yellow light.

The bodies of the seven earth elemental giants froze. As the ripples flickered, they began to collapse in an instant. The earth elemental giants, which were some sort of material and living things, had once again turned into the soil elements they belonged to.

“Battle finished.”

These Ravenstern rangers looked relaxed.

“Of course.”, Kant chuckled.

At the same time, he turned his head and instructed the archers, “Inform our peasants. Remember to sprinkle all that soil in the wheat fields. After you find the gemstones, remember to send it to the council hall.”

“Understood.”, the shocked Vaegirs archers and the Swadian crossbowmen quickly replied.

Such steady, accurate, and ruthless archery skills shocked them greatly.

Although there were only one level different between a Level 4 troop class and a Level 5 troop, there were significant difference between their combat strength.

Perhaps only a level 5 Vaegirs marksman would be able to experience such a difference.

However, even if a Swadian crossbowman became a level 5 Swadian marksman, he probably wouldn’t be able to compare to these two types of archers. This was a gap between their natural capacity. After all, the heavy cavalry was strongest troop in the Kingdom of Swadia.

And the Rhodok sharpshooter was the level 5 troop class that was comparable to them.

After all, level 5 troop class was divided into three grades.

Bags of salt, spices and sugar stacked from inside the shop all the way out into the streets. Merchants loaded with goods going flooded the streets with their carriages. The air was filled with fragrances emanating from all manner of spices. It was a prosperous, lively city at the side of the oasis. Sounds of metals being hammered and threads being woven were heard all over the place, as smiths and craftsmen were busy at work in their respective workshops. The banner of the successor of the Kingdom of Swadia—Baron Kant—was hanging on the city gates. The citizens lived peaceful, happy lives, revering their lord from the bottom of their hearts. Soldiers on the city walls armed with crossbows stood guard over the city, and footmen wearing mail armor patrolled the streets.The place was one of peace and security.
