Chapter 144: Five More Lucky Draws
In the morning, the system dialog box appeared as usual.
In the financial summary, the maintenance of the army was still the main expenditure. After deducting the denar, Kant’s balance was left with only two digits, which meant that he had completely ran out of money.
Of course, this was temporary.
At the beginning of next month, the trade caravan from Reyvadin would arrived as promised.
And these 2,000 + Jackalan captives had became the most popular commodity in the Kingdom of Vaegirs under the recommendation of the leader of the trade caravan, Joslin. All the noble families were willing to offer their denar in exchange for these hard-working slave miners.
This was the source of Kant’s denar.
With the endless supply of Jackalans in the desert, Kant’s captive trade was very hot.
There was no need to feed them too much food and water.
As long as they passed this week, they would become a ready-made denar.
These Jackalans were weak due to hunger. They were also under guard. At least 50 Swadian footmen and 40 elite desert bandits took turns to guard them. There was no any disturbance yet.
This was to due to cruel treatment to the captives.
As long as there was any sign of disturbance, these Swadian footmen and elite desert bandits would showed no mercy.
It was like killing a chicken to warn the monkeys.
There were more than 20 Jackalan heads hung on the city wall.
As for the corpses, they were directly thrown into the Jackalan prisoners group, allowing the hungry companions to tear them apart and bite them, turning them into hard-earned delicacies.
Drondheim fortress was only this big.
If the 2000+ Jackalans were really to cause riot, the impact would be fatal.
Fortunately, they were safe.
Days passed.
Kant sat on a chair in the council hall while FIrentis entered the hall.
He stood respectfully in front of the long table and reported, “Lord Kant, the elemental giants have all been eliminated. This is the elemental gem that we obtained this week. The Ravenstern ranger’s archery is very strong, so there are only few flaws on it.”
“Well done,”, Kant praised.
“This is what I should do.”
Firentis smiled. He took out the two pages that looked thin but were actually extremely tough. He placed them on the table with the nine elemental gemstones and said, “Lord, please keep them properly.”
“Yes.”, Kant nodded.
Summoned the elemental giants and obtaining obtained mysterious elemental gemstones, this was the mission he had given to Firentis. And now, the mission was very successful.
As for the two pages of the rare item, it was not only used Kant. Both Firentis and Manid were allowed to use it, Kant had consulted the system for this.
However, the system had also given restrictions. For example, ordinary troop class could not use the rare item.
The explanation given was that ordinary soldiers could not closely communicate with the system.
He did not think too much about it.
Kant turned to the attendant beside him and ordered, “Put it away.”
“Yes, my Lord.”, the peasant woman who was waiting beside him immediately walked over and placed the rare items and elemental gemstones in the wooden box. Then, she quickly walked up the stairs and returned it to the inner side of Kant’s closet.
“My lord, I will continue to patrol the fortress,”, Firentis said.
“Go.”, Kant nodded and said in a serious tone, “You have been working harder recently.”
“Yes.”
Firentis bowed and left the council hall.
Oasis Lookout was currently under the most strict curfew status. Anyone other than the patrol team was strictly prohibited from walking on the streets. Even if they had to eat, drink, and take a dump every day, they had to do it at their own post.
Whether it was food or emptying the toilet, the farmers would take full responsibility.
Safety was the most important thing.
“System, open the lottery store.”
Kant still had the 5 honor points reward from the epic victory.
He communicated with the system and said, “Start the five consecutive draws. There’s no need to choose.”
[ Ding... system lottery begins. ]
The system was still straight to the point.
The dialog box popped up, and the colorful treasure chest slowly opened with Kant’s affirmation.
The colorful light began to bloom.
[ You have received a construction pack: Vaegirs shooting range X 1]
[ You have received a construction pack: Camel farm X 1]
[ You have received a troop class pack: Vaegirs archers X 50 people ]
[ You have received a troop class pack: Desert bandits X 50 people ]
[ You have received a special pack: Spring’s eye × 1 ]
The dialog box immediately refreshed.
The listed data was displayed on Kant’s retina.
“As expected of the system.”
Looking at the pack that he had received, Kant slightly raised his eyebrows.
The reward this time was still generous.
Especially the two troop class pack, it had increased the defensive ability of the Drondheim fortress. Moreover, with the addition of the 50 Vaegirs archers, the intense long-range arrow rain became even more deadly!
The longbows used by the Vaegirs archers were more powerful than the crossbows used by the 500 Swadian militia!
“There are other gift packs.”
Kant’s eyes swept across the dialog box on his retina.
The system’s introduction was very comprehensive.
[ Vaegirs shooting range: military building. This is the most common shooting range in the Kingdom of Vaegirs. Archers can train here. 10 Vaegirs archers are available for recruitment every week. The recruitment fee is 50 denars per person. ]
[ Camel farm: livestock building. This farm was located on a barren sandy land. It could only domesticate single humped camels. Although the environment was cruel, it was fortunate that private chat and water were guaranteed. The camels produced were all sturdy. Five adult single humped camels were provided every week. They could be paired up on their own. The purchase price for single humped camels was 1,000 denar per camel. ]
“Very good.”
With a smile at the corner of his mouth, Kant tapped the table in satisfaction.
He was slightly excited.
Vaegirs shooting range recruited 10 Vaegirs archers per week, providing a long-range troop class permanently.
This way, the troop class of Swadian could be avoided, and they would have to level up to crossbowmen.
After all, according to the game and the current world, the Swadian crossbowmen that holding crossbows were still somewhat unworthy of the title of a level 4 troop class, if not for the fact that the power and accuracy of crossbows were higher than that of bows. The Oasis Lookout currently lacked long-range troop classes. Kant even wanted to get rid of all the crossbowmen and use Veagirs archers as the main force of the long-range troop class.
One had to know that the level 4 veteran crossbowmen of the Kingdom of Rhodoks were already equipped with heavy crossbows.
As for the level 5 troop class, the strongest long-range troop class, the weapons that the Swadian snipers were also equipped with heavy crossbows.
It was just that their equipment was a little better.
However, as a long-range troop class, soldiers that able to produce more and stronger output was the most worthy.
The Level 5 troop class, Rhodok sharpshooter, was equipped with siege crossbows and steel crossbows!
This was simply the difference between heaven and earth.
Now that Kant had the Vaegirs shooting range, he could recruit the level 4 troop class, Vaegirs a archers, directly through the shooting range. This way, he could saved up the time and experience points. Who knew how much denar he needed to recruit the Swadian archers into the battles if he went for the other ways.
In Kant’s eyes, the archers of the Kingdom of Vaegirs had very high cost-performance value!
