Chapter 315: Lush Aaron

Kant led the team. After a day of trekking, the Senwaya mountain pass was in sight.

At the top of the outer hill, there was a wooden building standing there. At the top of the six-meter-high watchtower, there were also sentries on guard. They had also discovered Kant and the others who were trekking in the desert.

That was the mountain pass posthouse, where 40 desert bandits were stationed.

They saw Kant and the others approaching.

The 30 desert bandits rode their horses and scattered. They carried their scimitars and spears and sped through the dune. They used the left and right sides of the roads as crossing points and surrounded them at an extremely fast speed.

The remaining 10 desert bandits were waiting for the results at the top of the hill.

If the situation was not right, they would immediately retreat and report to “Aaron” about any incidents.

They had already formulated a strategy.

However, before they even got close, they had already used their good eyesight to discover that it was their supreme lord.

The warhorses beneath them galloped.

The scattered troops gathered again. They put away their scimitars and spears and quickly came to Kant’s side. They dismounted from their horses and kneeled respectfully on the ground. They placed their hands on their chests and saluted, “My Lord! It is an honor to meet you!”

“Well, get up.”

Kant nodded and gestured for them to get up.

He glanced at the surrounding scenery. Everything was as usual. He asked, “It seems that nothing unusual happened around here while I was away.”

“Everything is normal.”, the desert bandits answered respectfully.

“Very good.”

Kant nodded in satisfaction.

This was his secret base, his second home outside the Nahrin Desert.

It was also the future agricultural and handicraft base. It must not be known by outsiders. At least at this critical point, it could not be known by outsiders. It could be considered as one of his escape routes.

If there was a problem with the Oasis Lookout, then the towns in the Senwaya Range would be the temporary shelter for retreat.

But Kant tried his best to ensure that he wouldn’t come to this point.

If he had to come here, that meant that his forces in the Oasis Lookout were almost destroyed.

Kant urged his horse forward.

The desert bandits quickly got back on their horses and led the way.

At the foot of the hill, a spring water appeared between the layers of sand. It was about 10 square meters. Some soil was scattered around it, forming a soil layer of about 30 square meters. With the nourishment of the spring water, many lush vegetation grew.

They were all desert plants that were easy to grow at the edge of the Senwaya Range and the Nahrin Desert.

As long as there was water, they could grow quickly.

Seeing Kant looking at the spring water and the vegetation growing with interest, the desert bandits took the initiative to report, “At that time, my Lord, you asked us to take care of this spring water. During our free time, we dug a spring pit and used a wooden bucket to pick up the soil in the mountain and sprinkle some grass seeds. Without much effort, this small oasis was formed.”

“Well done, very well done.”

Kant nodded in satisfaction.

With a smile on his face, he carefully looked at this small oasis. On the surface of the sand near the soil layer, he could see the claw marks of small rodents. It seemed that this place had formed a temporary and relatively fragile ecological chain.

After all, water was the most precious thing in the desert!

“This oasis will become even bigger in the future.”

Kant spoke and turned to the north. That was the direction of the central posthouse and “Drondheim” Castle.

He once had an idea.

That was to directly form a long river that could lead to the depths of the desert by extending the river water that originated from “Aaron” Town. Especially Kant had that [ River ] card in his sleeve.

If he wanted to, a river that could sail boats would appear in the desert right now.

There was even soil and vegetation on both sides of the river.

It could be seen as an oasis. Whether it was to develop agriculture or animal husbandry, it would not be a problem to build some villages along both sides of the river. As long as it did not exceed the river’s capacity, it would be able to accumulate over time, as the river nourished the banks, it would not be a problem to develop into a river that could nourish civilization by moving some soil manually!

For example, the Nile River in Egypt, the two river basins in the fertile crescent soil of the Middle East, and even the ancient Loulan kingdom in the Far East were all powerful forces that rose up with the help of the rivers and oases in the desert and desert regions.

Kant saw the Nahrin Desert as the foundation of his hegemony.

Naturally, he attached great importance to it.

If possible, he would certainly give this desert an unimaginable new life!

In fact, he was officially changing it.

Oasis Lookout had already doubled compared to its initial state. It could meet the water needs of everyone, in addition to the water needed for agriculture and animal husbandry. It could also fill up the groundwater with abundant water. This had increased the foundation of Oasis Lookout’s development by dozens of times!

Moreover, Kant was still planning to open up a desert river.

Once it was opened up.

Oasis Lookout would be completely connected to the Senwaya Range.

It would be connected by lines.

Both sides of the river would be fully developed.

Especially when Kant obtained more and more extraordinary items and obtained more and more rewards regarding the rules, the Nahrin Desert would really become the legendary Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall in Kant’s impression!

Kant could feel his entire body trembling just by thinking about it.

This was an extremely perfect strategic idea!

But there were a few setbacks.

“Maintain the greenery here. You guys did a good job.”

Kant came back to his senses.

He turned his head to look at the desert bandits who were waiting respectfully beside him and praised, “If you have the ability, then let it all out. Let the spring water here become bigger and the vegetation become denser. You guys will receive the reward that you deserve!”

“Thank you for your praise, my Lord!”

The desert bandits were all delighted.

This was a compliment from the supreme lord. In their eyes, the value of glory was no less than winning a battle!

“Mm.”

Kant nodded and continued to ride on his horse. “We don’t have much time left. Let’s go!”

Behind them, the Ten Lion Knights and the eighteen mages immediately rode on their horses and followed. Under the respectful gazes of the desert bandits, they stepped onto the road paved with green stone slabs and started to gallop faster than in the desert.

The stone slab was easy to walk on, not to mention that it was a road paved with stone. Under the system’s rules, it was very smooth.

They followed the road and climbed over the mountains.

By the side of the road was a small river about five to six meters wide. It flowed along the mountain at a very gentle speed. Occasionally, one could see fish swimming along or against the current. It was very carefree.

These were fish that swam up from the underground river, and there were also fish that sneaked out from the fishing grounds.

The “Aaron” Town, which was located in the Senwaya Range, had already taken shape.

It didn’t take long.

After climbing over a mountain, the relatively flat mountain peak appeared in front of them.

There were neatly planned buildings everywhere. From afar, one could see many people bustling around. Along with the spiraling smoke, the entire town gave people the feeling of a paradise.

At the foot of the mountain peak was a neat circle of city walls. The arrow tower had been completed and troops were stationed there.

Soldiers holding long halberds and lance could be seen patrolling on the city walls.

Outside the mountain peak, a large amount of farmland had been reclaimed on the eastern side of the mountain. Lush wheat grew in it. Looking from afar, one could feel that it was full of greenery. The scene was very pleasant.

Farmers carried farm tools and walked between the canals and the protective forest on the mountain peak.

Many peasant women could be seen.

They were driving sheep one after another, grazing on the surrounding mountains. They were bored to death and used tree branches to drive the lazy lambs, telling them to go to the slopes where the vegetation was more lush, to eat the tender leaves to grow faster.

It was truly a paradise.

Kant’s second base, Aaron!

“Go.”

Kant lightly knocked on the horse’s belly and increased his speed.

The knights and mages behind also followed, everyone looking forward with curiosity.

In the distance, there were already Ravenstern Rangers with excellent eyesight. When they noticed the cavalry from outside the mountains, they immediately blew the bugles in a regular manner. Following a few short and orderly bugles, troops immediately appeared in the town.

50 Rhodok Sergeant, who were holding long-handled heavy knives and carrying broad shields on their backs, quickly walked out.

At the city gate, Rhodok Snipers were already prepared.

Including the arrow towers and towers on both sides, the Ravenstern Rangers and Wardens who were suitable for rapid shooting, were all looking into the distance, paying attention to who the team of horses was.

However, they did not make a big fuss and put up a tight defense.

Even the peasant who was outside did not hide in the town.

After all, this was a hidden town. They had arrived openly, and there were no desert bandits who had come to inform them in advance. Perhaps they were on the same side. After all, only the Oasis Lookout in the desert knew about this place.

As expected, when they saw that it was Kant who was approaching, the soldiers who had initially walked out of the city gate immediately bowed.

“My Lord!”

They cheered, their eyes filled with enthusiasm.

“There’s no need to be so polite.”, Kant stretched out his hand, but his eyes looked towards the two figures who were walking towards them. His eyes were filled with shock.

“Lord Kant!”

The two of them came before Kant and bowed respectfully.

It was James and Bunduk.

Kant’s two NPC heroes.

“Yes.”

Kant nodded. The shock in his eyes disappeared, but the doubt was still in his eyes.

James was still wearing mail armor. He was holding a spatha shortsword and round shield, and there was a medical device on his waist. It was not enough to make Kant stunned and confused.

Most importantly, it was Bunduk.

Kant got off the horse and asked, “Bunduk, you look pretty good.”

“Yes.”

Bundukl still looked handsome.

He was wearing mail armor and linen-woven clothes. He looked elegant. He walked over and took the initiative to hold the reins for Kant. He said gratefully, “Thanks to you and everyone’s help, I was able to escape from the threat of death.”

“It’s nothing.”, Kant shook his head, but he still asked, “You have recovered?”

“I have recovered.”

Bunduk nodded.

This caused Kant to be even more puzzled. He turned to James and asked, “I remember that you said that Bunduk’s injury needs at least half a year to recover a little. If he wants to recover, it will take at least two years.”

“If he fully recovers, it will take five years.”

James sighed and looked at Bunduk. “But in the past week, he has changed a lot every day. His body is actually recovering on its own, and even…”, he paused. “It has changed a lot!”
