Chapter 418 - Temporary Military Center
Chapter 418: Temporary Military Center
Without any hesitation, Kant directly recruited the 30 Water Bandits that were allowed to be recruited this week.
Within the water bandit lair, 30 Water Bandit Minions wearing simple leather armor and carrying butcher knives at their waists immediately walked of them had an unruly expression on their faces, and they did not look like good people.
They were indeed not good people. They roamed the rivers where the various countries intersected, kidnapped, extorted, and killed merchant ships to attack villagers.
They did all kinds of evil deeds.
But Kant did not care.
Just like how he could accept the Sarrand Sultanate’s desert bandits.
These ferocious water bandits from the Kingdom of Nords were also people he could accept. As long as they played an important role in his army, it did not matter even if they were the main force.
In fact, these water bandits could indeed be the main force, because they were Kant’s only water army!
Kant had a lot of troops.
For example, footmen, cavalry, archers, and so on.
But for the water army, it was extremely rare. Especially now that he had extended his force to the Resniston River, which was the most important river in the human kingdoms, the existence of the water army was especially important.
Fortunately, Kant already had a building that could recruit a water army.
[ Water bandit lair ]
These bandits that roamed the river were very suitable for the current situation.
They were similar to the traditional water bandits of the river, but in terms of fierce fighting strength, they were even stronger than the water bandits that were bullied by the human kingdoms.
After all, the Kant’s water bandits were actually light-armored pirates.
They were bandits with experience in plundering!
If they were able to upgrade their armor, or to be more precise, level up, they were not inferior to the pirates.
In fact, the bosun and captain of these water bandits were actually the Nord Pirates. They had drifted from the distant Nords Empire, formed a group of poor people, and became pirates who robbed houses and made a fortune.
After that, they turned around and cleaned themselves up. It didn’t matter whether they went to live in the Kingdom of Nords or returned to the Nords mainland.
After all, to the Nords, the continent of Caradia was actually a colony.
No one asked where they came from. Even if they knew that they were water bandits in the past, they would be accepted harmoniously.
The Nords who established their country by the sea were half-merchants and half-bandits. Even if it was the regular army, who could say that they were completely righteous? One had to know that the expedition fleet of the Nords mainland was once a fleet formed by bandits.
However, they caught the ancient Caradia Empire by surprise.
And because of the split up Kingdom of Swadia were busy with internal strife, the Nords managed to gain a firm foundation.
The Kingdom of Nords was established.
If the Caradia Empire was at its peak or if the Kingdom of Swadia quickly adjusted its status in a short period of time, the Kingdom of Nords, which did not have cavalry and could only use footmen on land, would have long been defeated and left this place.
On land, the Kingdom of Nords only had heavy footman wielding large axes, and archers whose combat strength was close to trash.
Siege and close combat might be stronger.
But in the field, they were just the easy targets Swadian Heavy Cavalry for practice.
Swadian heavy cavalry was a level 4 troop class. However, if a hundred of them charging at the same time, even if there were the same number of top-class level 6 Nord Royal Knights to block them, they would still be crashed.
On the plains, the Kingdom of Swadian was already the strongest country, and no one could stop them!
“Not bad.” Kant nodded.
With this water army that appeared in the river, his force would extend even faster.
After all, Kant had foresight when it came to the use of the water army. For example, he could directly transport troops to the South County of the Dukedom of Leo and directly command the army to occupy Lionheart City and Lion Fort. It was not impossible to make a time difference!
Opening the system, he had a lot of honor points in his mind.
“Draw.”
Kant gave the order.
Soon, the colorful treasure chest appeared on his retina.
At the same time, he slowly opened it.
[ You have received a construction pack: Chicken farm × 5 ]
[ You have received a construction pack: Bee Farm × 5 ]
[ You have received a construction pack: Small fishing farm × 5 ]
[ You have received a construction pack: Tanning workshop × 5 ]
[ You have received a construction pack: Wheat Field × 50 arcs ]
[ You have received an item pack: Urban migrants × 500 people (female) ]
[ You have received an item pack: Rural refugees × 500 people (female) ]
[ You have received a troop class pack: Water Bandit Bosun × 50 people ]
[ You have received a troop class pack: Water Bandit Minion × 100 people ]
[ You have received a hero pack: nomad thug “Baheshtur” ]
The 10 draws ended.
However, there was an additional lucky draw.
[ You have received a special pack: Double the number of recruits (constant) ]
Kant was indifferent to this.
He had already developed to the point where he could be self-sufficient. Even if there was nothing in the current lucky draw, he could still live well. The only difference was that he developed fast and slowly.
As his influence developed, Kant’s reliance on the system decreased.
This was a good way to get rid of dependence.
At this time, the gift pack he got was not bad.
At the very least, it could quickly upgrade the current Nord village. After all, this newly established village was still in a state of poverty. At the very least, the immigrants and troop class could solve the problem of the shortage of people.
At the beginning, there were 1,000 immigrants and refugees.
In addition, there was enough water army.
130 Water Bandit Minion and 50 Water Bandit Bosun instantly appeared by the river.
The empty ground was filled with white lines. In the ancient passage, the construction team from the continent of Caradia also arrived with the carriage, carrying all kinds of wood and stones, ready to build the buildings that Kant had set up beforehand.
Of course, most of them were houses and the city wall around the village.
Other buildings were not built.
For example, there were almost no civilian livelihood buildings.
Because Kant did not intend to build any civilian livelihood buildings other than the house.
This village, which he named “Sargoth”, was like the capital of the Kingdom of Nords. It was completely a new center. Kant built the artery of his force in the human countries, the castle beside the Resniston River!
It was Kant’s military center!
Placing the doubling of recruitment directly on the water bandit lair the weekly recruitment of water bandits was 60 people.
On the plains not far away, cavalry riding horse, wearing leather armor, and holding spears quickly arrived. His tanned skin was very healthy, and his appearance was typical of a Khergit nomad.
Baheshtur, a nomad thug from the Khergit Khanate and the famous captain of the commando cavalry, also came to this world!
“Lord Kant.” the young nomad thug bowed.
Kant nodded calmly and said to him, “Welcome. Currently, my army needs the commander of the reconnaissance cavalry. I think you should be very suitable, and at the same time, you won’t be unfamiliar with them. They are the desert bandits in the Sarrand Desert.”
“Of course, I know them.” Baheshtur did not look arrogant at all. Instead, he lowered his head humbly. “Your will is the meaning of my existence. My king, my master.”
