Chapter 264: The Ever-changing Mountains

Chapter 264: The Ever-changing Mountains

The system interface was clearly marked.

Kant muttered to himself. The town level was indeed different from the fortress level buildings.

Most of the buildings were ordinary civilian buildings. As for military buildings, there were very few of them. Other than the city walls, there were also the city gates. Even if there were buildings to defend against the enemy, they were just arrow towers.

Compared to the fortress-level buildings with all sorts of military facilities, it was undoubtedly less safe.

However, the town was primarily for the people.

Kant had already expected this.

As long as the council hall could recruit basic troop class soldiers and the ranger camp could recruit strong level 4 archers, then the town would have enough self-protection ability.

After all, if one wanted to take down a town with city walls and defensive troops, it would be quite difficult if they did not have larger troops than the defending troops. Moreover, this was a mountainous area with a complicated environment. With the city walls and towns built by relying on the terrain of the mountains, with the current defensive force, the town would not have a problem to defend against 3,000 enemy troops with siege weapons.

Although Kant had paved roads that opened up the complicated Senwaya Range.

However, outside the mountain pass was the Nahrin Desert.

The cruel environment also weakened any enemy supply lines. Even if there were paved roads as a path to enter the mountain pass, the steep terrain also increased the difficulty of attacking the city.

The stone walls that looked like five meters, with the mountain base at the bottom with three to five meters in height, the stone walls were actually eight to ten meters or even higher!

This town was quite stable.

At least in terms of defense, it was not inferior to the Oasis Lookout.

Kant nodded in satisfaction and retreated from the god’s view.

The originally sparse mountain peak now had many new buildings. Many Rhodok people were walking out happily. It seemed that they were also very satisfied with the new house.

The newly joined refugees had finished bathing in the river and changed into clean clothes. They came to the street formed by houses together. The peasant arranged the rooms for them. At the same time, they gave a general introduction of the surrounding environment and the current situation. They were also assigned the following tasks, so that they could familiarize themselves with and join the town that had just appeared as soon as possible.

When Kant returned to the council hall, James was still examining Bunduk’s injuries. His face was somewhat relaxed. It was obvious that after the mages’ magic experiments, Bunduk’s injuries had completely recovered.

Moreover, due to the effect of the positive energy, it stimulated his own recovery ability, allowing his wounds to recover very quickly.

“Looks like he’s recovering well.”

Kant smiled.

Bunduk nodded gratefully. “It’s all thanks to your concern, as well as James and the mages’ treatment.”

“It’s mainly because of Lord Kant and the mages.”

James sighed. “Magic is really a magical power. Originally, according to my prediction, it would take at least half a year to recover from the injury. Now, it seems that it would take about a month to recover, and three months to completely recover.”

“This is really good.”, Kant nodded in satisfaction.

“I’m very grateful.”

Bunduk also nodded in gratitude.

He had lost consciousness in the underground city of the karst cave for a short while.

At that time, he was already prepared to die in battle. After all, he had already seen through life and death during his travels in the continent of Caradia. Moreover, it was a symbol of honor for him to sacrifice himself for Kant.

He did not expect that he would finally come back to life.

Moreover, he would be able to recover in a short period of time. It was an unexpected surprise.

“Rest well.”

Kant comforted Bunduk, “When you recover, you still have more work to deal with.”

“Understood.”, Bunduk nodded firmly.

“You should rest well in the room and recuperate.”, Kant smiled and turned his head to James beside him. “James, come out with me. I have some current government affairs to hand over to you to handle.”

“Yes, Lord Kant.”, James followed Kant out of the room.

“I plan to return to Oasis Lookout.”

Kant pondered for a moment and reminded James, “This town will be fully handed over to you to arrange.”

“Understood.”, James nodded.

“I mean, fully handed over to you to take charge.”, Kant saw him nod, but still reminded him. “Including recruiting troops, patrolling the territory, building towns, and developing agriculture and animal husbandry.”

“Lord Kant, you’re giving me all the authority?”, James sensed that something was wrong and was a little stunned.

“That’s right.”, Kant nodded.

This made James stunned, he immediately nodded and declined, “Lord Kant, I can’t be granted with so much authority. If Mr. Bunduk was still here, he might be able to share the burden with me. But right now, I’m the only one. I’m afraid that if I don’t handle it well, some mistakes will affect the development of the town.”

“There’s no other way. Right now, only you can take on this burden.”

Kant frowned slightly.

He was also helpless. He was lacking various generals, so he could only give full authority of the military and civilian mixed town to James, a senior doctor. It was indeed not a good idea.

But other than James, Kant could not find any other generals to deploy here.

Firentis needed to guard “Drondheim” Castle.

Manid was an important person in Kant’s communication with the outside world and trade with the Stone Pass.

Even Rolf was the commander of patrolling at the posthouse to prevent outsiders from getting close to the Oasis Lookout.

This hilltop town of “Aaron” could only be entrusted to James. Fortunately, Bunduk’s injuries healed very quickly, and he could slowly play his role in the subsequent work. Although he was still unable to take up an important position, it was not a problem for him to handle some light government affairs.

At least they had all gone through tempering in the continent of Caradia. Just based on their knowledge and planning ability, they could not be compared to these ordinary peasant. Kant could rest assured even if they were handed over to him.

After a deep conversation with James.

The temporary development of the town could be considered to have been confirmed. James would be the main commander, and Bunduk would assist him.

Especially in the construction of the town.

Kant handed over all the authority to James.

Now, James was practically a lord that Kant had conferred upon. In terms of authority, he was higher and more powerful than ordinary village chiefs, town chiefs, or even mayors. He was equivalent to a lord without a title.

This was a change in the system’s rules after “Aaron” had upgraded from a village to a town.

It was originally not possible.

In terms of construction, Kant could only choose and build it himself.

However, after the upgrade, he could give full authority to James, who was equivalent to a high-level up mayor. He was Kant’s senior butler in “Aaron” town, so of course, he could carry out the construction work.

Kant made a plan for the town in advance.

Then, James could build and perfect the town according to this plan.

It was reasonable and perfect.

In fact, there weren’t many plans for the current “Aaron” town. Only the main building was built on the peak of the mountain, and the slopes on both sides of the mountain and river were cultivated into terraces. The plan was very simple.

The specific details needed to be made by James himself.

Although he was a doctor, he had traveled in the continent of Caradia for so many years, and his knowledge was definitely quite rich.

“Let’s stop here.”

Kant finished his own plan and said with a slight pause, “Now I need to return to the Oasis Lookout as soon as possible. I’ll leave this town to you.”. Looking at James, Kant said in a deep voice, “The task is quite heavy now. I hope you can worry more. When Bunduk recovers, it will be easier.”

“I will do my best,”, James replied solemnly.

“Okay.”, Kant nodded.

Turning his head, he saw that the troops had already assembled.

103 Swadian knights in heavy chain armors were neatly lined up with their spears raised in one hand.

The Swadian warhorses were also wearing chain armors and linen robes, they were bored to death as they used its hooves to dig at the ground under the feet. They were breathing heavily, and they looked like they wanted to gallop to their heart’s content.

In front, there was a knight leading Kant’s warhorse.

He walked over and quickly got on the horse. He said to James, “You and Bunduk can worry about the rest.”

“Yes.”, James nodded. “Don’t you want to stay longer?”

“I plan to go to the posthouse to patrol, including the current situation of the Oasis Lookout. I need to go back and take a look.”

Kant gently knocked on the horse’s belly and led the team away.

The rumbling of horse hooves continued.

The archers, footmen, and civilians all bowed to Kant.

This was respect for the lord.

Even Bunduk, who was in the room, seemed to be deep in thought when he heard the dense sounds of horse hooves. He struggled to sit up and watched Kant and the knights leave.

The road was smooth.

The wide river by the side trickled with clear water.

Occasionally, palm-sized fish from the subterranean river appeared in the river. They seemed to be swimming out of the tributaries of the stone wall. They were curiously looking out of the river to enjoy the sunny world, causing a few splashes on the surface of the water.

However, there were more fish in the lake at the foot of the mountain.

They were all from the subterranean river. Soon, they occupied the lake and happily crawled among the aquatic plants.

If Kant still had a fishing ground that could be established here, the fishing industry would probably be even more efficient than the Oasis Lookout. After all, the temperature in the desert was much higher, so it was not as suitable for the fish to breed here.

They rode their horses and quickly arrived at the mountain pass.

Behind a hill, a temporary tent was set up, and five desert bandits were riding their horses to welcome them.

This was the outermost outpost of “Aaron” Town.

“My Lord.”

The desert bandits dismounted and bowed respectfully at the edge of the road.

“There’s no need to be so polite.”, Kant raised his hand.

The hundred Swadian knights behind him were given order to stop. They quickly reined in their horses and slowly stopped the galloping sounds.

Looking at the sparse vegetation on the hill and the many grains of sand on the surrounding hills, Kant understood in his heart that in front of these hills was the vast Nahrin Desert, the true forbidden area of civilization, and the hell of the race.

That desert was his nominal estate.
