Chapter 205 Happy Holidays to everyone, ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes
After the location and shape of the triumphal arch were determined, the construction began, and Su Lun, in addition to checking the progress every day, went to the training ground of the trapped camp outside the city.
After a week of training, the sharpshooter guards were ready to begin trying to fuse the trapped's orbs of light. The four Sharpshooter Guards sat cross-legged in a quiet room, and Su Lun took out the ball of light in the Tiger Talisman and chose to fuse.
Once the fusion began, virtual images of the four Sharpshooter Guards appeared in front of him, and a progress bar above their heads showed that the fusion was in progress. Looking at the progress bars, it would take at least an hour for the fusion to be completed, Suren took out a bottle of rum and poured a glass, drinking while waiting for the fusion results.
The process of fusion was not smooth, just ten minutes into it, there was a virtual image of a sharpshooter guard showing that the fusion failed, and the ball of light directly detached from its body and returned to the tiger talisman, although Su Lun had already prepared in his heart, but it still made him depressed to eliminate one before even ten minutes arrived.
Then the fusion continued, and the remaining three sharpshooter guards all lasted for half an hour, and then it didn't take long for two of them to show that the fusion failed, and finally only one sharpshooter guard successfully fused the light ball of the trapped camp and advanced to become a trapped camp soldier.
[Trapping the camp: 1/700 of the number of people in front of the block, after a brutal selection from the excellent pikemen, he was successfully promoted to become a trapping camp soldier, with a more powerful physique and attack, 'the will to fall into battle, there is death and no life.】 ’】
Trapped Soldiers have a number of talents, including basic talents such as Strong, Tenacity, Iron Bone, and Agility, and a talent exclusive to Trapped Faction: Trapped
[Trapped: The will of the trap, there is no life or death, the soldiers in the trapping camp are not affected by morale, the defense is increased by 50%, the attack power is increased by 20%, and the collateral effect: Death battle, death battle: As long as the main general does not give the order to surrender, the trapped camp will fight to the last soldier, after activating the death battle, the attack of the trapped camp soldiers will be strengthened and the defense will be reduced. 】
After successfully advancing to become a trapped faction, Suren also needs to equip them with new equipment, according to the requirements of the system, all trapped soldiers need to be equipped with full-body iron armor, weapons are spears or long-handled combat knives, and equipped with a shield, and all trapped soldiers are also equipped with crossbow arrows.
It can be said that the equipment of the trapped soldiers has been greatly improved compared to the previous soldiers. Now there is only one trapped soldier, and the equipment is easy to solve. However, when the number of trapped factions increases, these equipment are a huge expense.
Fortunately, the number of trapped factions is growing slowly, and Suren has plenty of time to prepare.
After successfully advancing to the trapping faction, Suren appointed the trapped soldier as the commander of the pikemen, and several other sharpshooter guards as deputy commanders. Suren was going to expand the pikemen to 3,000 men first.
In fact, according to the standards of the Florentine Kingdom, it is not difficult to pull up a pikeman with a size of tens of thousands. The Kingdom of Florence issued a spear casually, and then it could be called pikemen with a simple training, and those pikemen who had undergone strict training in Zhenbei City could be called elite.
The pikemen of Florence are actually cannon fodder for consumption, and Zhenbei City does not have so many people to consume, so the army of Zhenbei City can only take the elite route.
After successfully advancing to a trapped, Suren came out of the city alone, and he still had a reinforcement order in his hand that he didn't use, and Suren waited until the trapping camp training came out before preparing to use it.
The last time he used the reinforcement order, he had a guess in his mind, which is why he had waited until now. Coming to the outside of Zhenbei City, Su Lun found an open environment, and then took out the reinforcement order and chose to use it.
A flash of inspiration flashed, the reinforcement order disappeared, and then the system's prompt sounded in my ears.
"Ding! The host uses the reinforcement order, and a squad of soldiers is about to arrive. ”
A spatial door opened, and a group of soldiers walked out of the spatial door. Just like the last time you used the Reinforcement Order, this time you will see a War Spirit wearing armor and holding a weapon.
What made Su Lun even more ecstatic was that in addition to the two teams of forty pikemen and archers, there was also a soldier wearing heavy armor, holding a spear and a shield, and carrying a crossbow arrow and a long knife at his waist, compared to the soldiers around him, this soldier was obviously more than a step stronger.
"Trapped! This time it's really profitable!" Su Lun said excitedly.
The last time he used the reinforcement order, Su Lun recruited only pikemen and archers, at that time he had his own spearman talisman and the archer talisman he obtained later, at that time he had a guess in his heart, now after obtaining the trapping camp talisman, he successfully recruited the trapping camp, and after using the reinforcement order, he really recruited a trapping camp soldier.
After all these otherworldly spirits walked out of the space gate, the soldier who was trapped in the camp led by the direct formation stepped forward: "General, the pikeman squad, and the archer squad have all arrived." ”
Su Lun, who already knew the details of these soldiers, nodded, and then returned to the north of the town with these soldiers.
......
Because of the addition of centaurs, Suren specially divided an area for them to live in Zhenbei City, and Suren was ready to build a town fifty miles east of Zhenbei City, this area is flat, lush with water and grass, very suitable for grazing, and build a city here for those centaurs to graze and live.
The centaur tribe used to live on water and grass, but after joining Zhenbei City, these centaurs will become semi-nomadic, and after the grain harvested in Zhenbei City every year, the remaining stems and leaves will be mixed with some grain bran to make fodder for breeding. The centaur tribe would be nomadic in the city to be built.
This kind of semi-nomadic and semi-residential breeding method can raise more livestock, and can also reduce the mortality rate of livestock in winter, the previous centaur tribe will not be due to cold, lack of food and other reasons, resulting in the death of a large number of livestock, after changing the nomadic way, in the summer to graze by water and grass, and wait until the winter after the snow cover will return to the city.
There are a large number of well-kept pastures in the city, and a lot of green fodder is stored, so that the livestock not only do not die, but even gain weight. The city is now being built every day, and the soldiers are also undergoing rigorous training. With such a large amount of exercise, it is necessary to consume some meat every day.
It can be said that the current food consumption in Zhenbei City is very high, and the dried meat and salted fish stored in the past have been almost consumed, and now with the addition of centaurs, the meat supply in Zhenbei City will no longer be tight. Centaurs will also receive a large amount of other necessities after being supplied with meat.
After the centaurs joined Zhenbei City, Suren clearly understood their standard of living, they could only make some rough iron tools, the cloth was also inferior linen, the kind worn on the body to tie the skin, the condiment was only salt, the food was very scarce, and even the tea was sold by the flamingo caravan in recent years.
For tea, centaurs are very fond of tea, the perennial carnivorous centaur tribe needs tea to relieve greasy food, and now although they have Zhenbei City to provide food, but their love for tea has not changed.
The climate in the north is not suitable for the growth of tea, the tea in Carthusian City is also trafficked from the south, the nobles of this era like to add milk and honey to drink tea, and now there is white sugar in Zhenbei City, and then add sugar, and the tea prepared is very similar to the milk tea that Su Lun drank in his previous life, but it tastes better than the milk tea in his previous life, at least the milk here is very pure.
After the centaurs joined the northern city, Suren placed a large number of orders for tea from the caravans that came to trade, and the price of tea was cheap in the Kingdom of Florence, but the price increased by at least half in the Northland Wasteland.
If it is sold to the previous centaur tribe, the price will be doubled again. But even so, Zhenbei City needs to come up with a sum of money to buy tea every month.
After the centaurs joined Zhenbei City, their quality of life was directly raised by two or three levels, they did not have to wear those piercing burlaps, they did not have to sleep in the open every day, tea was no longer a luxury, and the food was much more abundant.
Originally, when the centaurs first joined Zhenbei City, their loyalty was between 65 and 70, and after joining Zhenbei City for a week, the loyalty of these centaurs has generally reached seventy-five, and many centaurs have more than eighty loyalty.
At its peak, the centaur tribe was close to 10,000 people, and after a great battle, there were less than 4,000 casualties, and now these centaur women and children are the majority, and the number of adult males is less than 1,000.
Suren's original plan was to recruit a thousand centaurs to form a heavy cavalry army, a light cavalry team. In this way, all the young men among the centaurs have been recruited. Naturally, Suren couldn't do that.
After taking into account the situation of the centaurs, the number of recruits was changed to four hundred, two hundred heavy cavalry, two hundred light cavalry, and the heavy cavalry Suren intended to equip these centaurs with a full set of iron armor, not the previous iron armor of average quality, but the heavy armor of the Red Dragon Heavy Cavalry Regiment of the Florentine Kingdom.
Two hundred sets of centaur cavalry heavy armor are worth a lot of money, and a piece of such iron armor alone weighs nearly two hundred catties, and two hundred sets will cost at least forty thousand catties of iron. However, the destructive power of these heavy cavalry is absolutely amazing, and their ability to break through formation is more powerful than that of human heavy cavalry.
Of course, if you say that the heavy cavalry with the strongest charging effect, the centaur is estimated to only be in the top five, and the first place is the heavy cavalry of the earth-walking dragon, those are the real steel tanks, and the earth-walking dragon is a kind of wurm, whether it is the weight or the impact force is incomparable to other heavy cavalry, not to mention that some of the earth-walking dragons also inherit the dragon's breath.
However, the number of Dixinglong heavy cavalry was very small, and the total number of them was less than two hundred, but no one dared to underestimate them.
