Chapter 216: Spies That Captured Suddenly

Lunch was quickly prepared.

The maids brought out dishes and placed them in front of the four of them.

Crispy golden bread, fried antelope meat covered in flour, large fried eggs, honey date palm, and a small glass of ale for each of them, along with a steamed dried sausage.

It was a very sumptuous lunch. It was Kant’s way of welcoming the two of them.

The aroma of the food spreading to the outside.

Lunchtime.

With shouts, buckets of lunch were transported to residential areas and city walls for soldiers and civilians to eat, as well as a two-hour lunch break to escape from the scorching noon Sun.

The atmosphere in the council hall was still harmonious, the four of them ate and chatted.

Firentis was carrying the conversation.

From time to time, he laughed, and his words were filled with respect for the future. The atmosphere was very warm.

The two of them humbly declined the praises from Kant .

“This is not an excessive praise, but an accurate comment.”

Seeing the two of them being so humble, Kant smiled and said, “I appreciate your talents.”

He had played the game before, so he naturally understood what these NPCs were good at, he continued to make arrangements, “Both of you must be good at your own fields. Next, I will directly appoint you to the positions. I hope that both of you will familiarize yourselves with this world as soon as possible and set a good example in your own positions.”

Hearing that they were going to be appointed, Rolf and Bunduk’s faces immediately turned solemn.

This was related to their future work in “Drondheim” Castle, as well as Kant’s impression of them.

This matter indeed had to be treated with caution.

As for Kant, he already had a plan in mind regarding the areas that the two of them were good at.

First, he looked at Bunduk and said, “In the southern mountain range, I still have a village of the Kingdom of Rhodoks that needs to be managed. Currently, James is taking care of it temporarily, but he’s best at medical knowledge. He’s obviously weaker in managing the village and the army, so I plan to let you help me manage that village.”

“I’m very happy to help.”, Bunduk immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to Kant. He said solemnly, “I will do my best to take care of that village for you.”

“Yes, very good.”, Kant nodded.

Bunduk sat down again.

Rolf, who was beside him, immediately swept his gaze with envy and jealousy. However, he looked at Kant even more fervently.

Although Bunduk was not conferred the title of noble by Kant, he was appointed by the noble, Kant with position that was similar to village chief and mayor. It was a high-level official who could directly manage the village and garrison troops, and the core management personnel in the future.

If he performed well, there was definitely a chance for him to be conferred the title of noble in the future.

Even Bunduk was excited in his heart.

This was not the Continent of Caradia, which required bloodline, identity, reputation, and honor to be a noble. Instead, it was a land of miracles filled with opportunities and chances. It was a world that Lord Kant had personally led them forward!

As long as they put in effort, there would definitely be lots of gains.

Noble status was one of them!

Kant chuckled as he looked at the fervent and excited eyes of the two. This was the effect he wanted, to use real fame and fortune to stimulate their enthusiasm.

Although due to the limitations of the system, they were always loyal to Kant, everyone’s personality was different. It was possible that one of them really wanted to waste time and didn’t put effort into works. Kant had even saw these phenomena in some of the soldiers, especially those who liked to play tricks on others, their military discipline was not very good.

It was only because there were only a few troops now and Firentis was strict in managing the army. He would patrol a few times every day, which prevented this temporary peace from becoming lax.

However, when the number of troops increased, it was crucial to put the establishment of necessary department like the military court on the agenda as soon as possible.

However, this still needed some time.

At present, Kant was dealing with the appointment of personnel and perfecting the roles of each person.

“Rolf…”

Kant looked at this middle-aged man who had a ferocious expression but appeared humble and respectful.

“I’m here, Lord Kant.”, Rolf immediately stood up and nodded with a hint of excitement on his face. It was finally the time for his appointment. His heart even more excited when he thought about it.

“You’re a noble from the east.”

Kant opened his mouth and muttered to himself.

“Yes, that’s right. I come from a kingdom outside the Continent of Caradia.”. Rolf nodded, he said somewhat helplessly, “I’m still a noble, but I don’t have much of a concept of managing a territory. I can only entrust the estate to someone else and come to Caradia to try my luck and earn some denar back.”

He was not afraid to say that he was not a native of the Continent of Caradia.

In other words, Caradia had long been the stage for other races.

There were many outsiders.

Even those who had established kingdoms, such as the Kingdom of Nords from the Nord Continent on the other side of the sea, the Kingdom of Vaegirs from across the Snowy Mountains in the northeast, and the Kingdom of Khergit Khanate from the Khergit Plain on the other side of the mountains, even the Kingdom of Sarrand Sultanate was a country formed by the races that migrated from the depths of the desert.

The true indigenous people of Caradia were probably the Swadian and Rhodok people. And both of them were once ancient Caradia people.

“Mm.”, Kant nodded.

He also understood this phenomenon. It was similar to the great racial integration.

It was just that the process was somewhat tragic.

The Kingdom of Caradia was divided. Various nations that had once been suppressed had established their own countries and forces. And because of the poor political skills and military literacy of the king of Caradia, Haraus, he had kept some snakes in his bosom, causing the entire Continent of Caradia in a dangerous situation.

However, the chaotic situation also made many speculators sense an opportunity. They all arrived at the Continent of Caradia with various purposes, trying to obtain some benefits in this chaotic continent.

Rolf was like this.

He was a noble of other kingdom, but because he did not know how to manage his properties, his family had fallen into disrepair.

In order to revive his family, he could only come here, wanting to earn a large sum of denars before returning home.

But the reality was a little cruel.

Many ambitious people had caused the Continent of Caradia to become incomparably chaotic. Rolf, this rude noble, didn’t know how to do business and socialize. In the end, he had become a person with an empty noble title, living like a bandit leader… no.., it should be said that he was a bandit leader. The title of a scoundrel noble was very accurate.

He led the troops he had recruited to rob innocent people and trade caravan. He even attacked villages and forced villagers to provide supplies. There were even cases where he kidnapped city residents for ransom.

Rolf had walked down a dark path. He did not take his noble identity seriously at all.

This was also the reason why Bunduk, Firentis, and the others had a lot of opinions about him.

But it was nothing to Kant.

Since Rolf liked to rob and plunder, it could be said that he was a bandit leader with noble status and military leadership qualities. Then, in Kant’s battle sequence, there was a position that he was best at.

He could lead the desert bandits to stand guard at the posthouse and stop the increasing trade caravan and spies in the future!

Kant believed that this scoundrel noble would be able to perform well.

“Rolf.”

Kant raised his head and looked at Rolf, who was still standing in his position and looking at him eagerly.

Kant pondered for a moment and organized his words, he said, “I have an important task for you. I have a posthouse in the south. That is the key point to prevent anyone from coming here. I need you to lead 100 desert bandits to patrol the area. Use any means to prevent anyone from discovering the Oasis Lookout.”

“Oh, so that’s the case.”, Rolf raised his eyebrows slightly. There was not a hint of disappointment on his face. Instead, he could not help but smile because of Kant’s words. “Lord Kant, you mean, by any means?”

“That’s right.”, Kant nodded. “By any means.”

“Thank you for your appointment!”

A strange smile appeared on Rolf’s face, but he immediately bowed respectfully. “Under my patrol, no one will appear at the Oasis Lookout, unless they are captured captives or dead bodies with eyes wide open.”

Kant was very satisfied with his statement. “Mark your words.”

“Yes.”, Rolf bowed respectfully with his hands on his chest.

This was what he was good at.

Naturally, Rolf was familiar with these desert bandits. He even had a real in-depth communication with these bandits in the Sarrand Desert, and they even worked together a few times.

The Sarrand Desert might seem rather barren, but the nobles and merchants who lived in those two oases could be said to be extremely wealthy.

After doing a few big deals, they could earn quite a lot of denars.

The four of them were chatting when suddenly, the door of the council hall was pushed open.

The Swadian knight who was responsible for guarding the outside walked in and reported with a solemn expression, “Lord Kant, the desert bandits in charge of patrolling have discovered a few spies. They are now being escorted to the prison cell. At the same time, they are asking you how to deal with them.”

“Spies?”, Kant frowned.

Firentis, Rolf, and Bunduk also turned their heads to look.

Just a moment ago, they were still discussing how to deal with the increasing number of spies in the Dukedom of Leo.

Rolf, who was about to appoint a posthouse patrol officer, could not help but snort coldly, he said fiercely to Kant, “This group of rat-like fellows is the most despicable. I think we should kill them all and stick their heads on the spear. Let the other fellows see the consequences of offending your dignity!”

“Wait a minute. Let’s go to the prison to interrogate these spies.”

Kant shook his head and did not agree with Rolf’s opinion.

After pondering for a moment, he raised his head and said to the three of them, “I really didn’t expect them to be so fast. I don’t know which noble sent spies to be able to reach our castle.”

“This is worth paying attention to.”, Firentis reminded.

“Okay.”, Kant nodded. “Let’s go.”

As he said that, he stood up and led the three of them to the prison cell, which was in the southeast corner of the castle.

The large prison cell had just been built.

It had a dungeon, a water prison, an interrogation room, and a detention room.

There were two strong civilians acting as guards in the cell.

On the city wall, the five Vaegir marksman were watching the large prison cell. If there were any riots, the bows in their hands would not show any mercy.
