Hurt took a bite of the flour cake in the city of refined wheat flour, and couldn't help but feel a slight heat in his eyes - how long had it been since he had eaten this? Since leaving the Orc Kingdom, the centaurs had no choice in what they had to eat, and they had almost forgotten the taste of their favorite refined wheat flour.

"How long do you think it will take for the enemy to come to Alpine Fort? Richard loosened the corned beef with a spoon, scraped another spoonful of jam, and tore it in the pie together.

"It's definitely not going to be soon. Hurt smiled disdainfully, "The wilderness people are bastards who only take advantage of the situation and don't suffer losses, and it will take at least a few days to organize military rations, and I think it will be at least ten days later." ”

Anne breathed a sigh of relief, ten days was enough time to wait for reinforcements from the Comptoir to arrive and then calmly withdraw. She's a businessman who doesn't have the best interest to get involved in a war, and she's a woman who can't bear to put her badly lost escort to the test.

"They are indeed a grass platform team, but the high mountain fort can't relax its vigilance because it underestimates the enemy, since it knows that it will be fought sooner or later, then double the guard from today. The fighters took turns to rest and remain on combat readiness. Richard said.

"Your Excellency is wise. "Hurt delivered a sycophant at the right time.

"To be honest, I wanted to beat them up for a long time, but I didn't find a chance for a while. I actually dared to put it together and send it to the door, and I just cleaned it up together, hahaha. Richard threw his head up and laughed three times.

Gunther folded three loaves of bread into a stack, half dried them in one gulp, choked on the sudden startle, and quickly picked up the ale glass and poured it into his mouth.

"By the way, Hutt, what weapons are you centaurs good at?"

"My lord, centaurs are excellent archers, and can send arrows into the eyes of rabbits from a hundred paces. Hurt rubbed his hands, "But bows and arrows are very delicate weapons, and our clan has been separated from our homeland for a long time, and there are few warbows that can be used now. ”

"Your clan...... Hey, wait. Richard suddenly discovered a blind spot, "Your clan can't only have adult warriors, where have the other old and young women and children gone?"

The twenty-one centaurs who joined the Alpine Fort were all males of full age, and did not at all correspond to the age and gender composition that a tribe should have.

"They......" Hurt winked twice, very innocent, "they are slow on their feet, and they are driving a lot of grazing animals, and it will be a few days before they are left behind." ”

Richard looked at that honest face and suddenly figured it out - this product wants to hedge risks!

If Richard had defeated the Native Alliance, he would have taken the rest of the tribe into the Alpine Fort. And if the Native Coalition overturned Richard's car, it would be convenient for Hurt to run away with some young warriors, after all, they have four legs!

I can't think of it, I can't imagine who can be stupider than anyone these days.

looks like a fool, has more eyes than monkeys, and the truth of not putting eggs in one basket is vividly implemented.

"Then remember to tell the sentinels not to make a fuss. "People came to work for him, and Richard couldn't even tolerate this little bit of caution.

"Miss Anne. He tapped his fingers on the pine table, calling back the half-elf who was clearly distracted, "I wonder if your firm can lend Alpine Fort a sum of five hundred gold coins." ”

Richard is now a man with more lice, no itching, no worries about debts, and he has a broken jar mentality about the financial situation. Anyway, since you already owe fifteen hundred gold coins, it is not a big deal to borrow another five hundred.

The clever thing about borrowing money to develop the army is that there is no need to worry about being collected by thugs because Lao Tzu has an army.

"No problem, I can call the shots for five hundred gold coins. ”

Loan sharking is also one of the core businesses of Voya Comptoir, but Anne does not mention interest at all. Now it was the half-elves under the eaves and had to bow their heads.

"Alpine Fort is forever grateful for your generosity. Richard nodded in acknowledgment in a decent aristocratic tone.

After eating, Richard pulled Hurt and patted his chest to ensure that the bow and arrows were in place immediately, and at the same time told him to start training with centaurs tomorrow to find his touch, and then he entered the house with the five hundred gold coins that Anne had delivered.

The bows and arrows used by centaurs are slightly different from the equipment of ordinary cavalry archers.

The expensive longbow is currently recognized as the strongest bow in mainstream military equipment, and is known for its long range and great power, equipped with a half-pound armor-piercing arrow that can even shoot directly through the knight's plate armor from a distance of fifty paces.

However, because sitting on horseback did not have the convenience of down-to-earth power, human archers could not use longbows at all, so they could only settle for the next best thing and choose short cavalry bows with much worse range and accuracy. Contrary to the intuitive impression of many people, due to the gap in equipment, the archers will suffer by shooting directly at the infantry archers.

The agility of the cavalry and the power of the longbow are like white roses and red roses to humans, and they have always been contradictory options, and if you want this, you have to give up that.

But this truth is not true in front of the centaurs, who are born to be rewarded by the creation gods. Due to the special body structure of the unity of men and horses, centaurs can completely use longbows to shoot while running, taking into account both flexibility and power, and they are more than a star and a half more powerful than ordinary archers!

When the system panel was opened, the heavy and shiny gold coins disappeared without a trace, and at the same time, the balance of the shop was 500,000 dinars.

The centaur purple-shirted longbow, fifteen thousand dinars a hand, and twenty-one according to the number of people. The cone-headed white feather arrow, a pot of eight hundred dinars, and forty pots are at least.

A huge sum of money in the eyes of ordinary civilians is only enough to be used to arm the army, and more than half of it is lost in the blink of an eye. A famous general once said that fighting a war is burning money, and Richard thought this was completely nonsense, because burning money does not burn so quickly.

The pioneering business of Alpine Fort is like a bottomless pit that eats gold, and the return seems to be far away.

Richard was depressed for a long time and didn't slow down, he originally thought that being a lord was a castle, a maid, and a lady and a lady banquet constantly, in fact, he didn't see the light of his fart, and he had an inexhaustible heart and unpaid debts, so it was better to be a bandit and have a way to make money.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he kicked over the empty gold box and fell asleep on the bed.

The next morning.

The purple-shirted longbow was distributed to the centaurs, and Hurt began to train with his people in full swing.

Richard watched them practice, and was a well-known shooter, and even the lame centaur herdsman, who could find his grip and hit a stake fifty paces away from the bowl while running at full speed.

Insiders look at the doorway, this level is much stronger than the so-called 100 steps through Yang, and the level of human elite archers may only be regarded as amateurs in the eyes of centaurs.
