When Zhang Yang hurriedly returned from the training ground, Wu Yuan had already strengthened all 47 first-order soldiers to the second order, and he was about to start the third-order reinforcement.

"Wait a minute, no, strengthen those 30 archers to the captain level first, and the rest of the sword and shield soldiers will be elite for the time being. ”

Zhang Yang hurriedly ordered, he had carefully examined the explanation of morale at this time.

The morale setting in the village building order is quite complicated.

First of all, divide the loyalty of the villagers by 2, and the resulting value plus the value of the village's prosperity divided by 10 is the basic morale value.

For example, the village loyalty of a village is 74, divided by 2 is 37, and the village prosperity is 225, divided by 10 is 22.5, and the sum of the two equals a base morale value of 59.5.

So from this point of view, as long as the loyalty of the villagers does not decline, and the prosperity of the village is rising, and there is a prosperity of 1000, the morale of the soldiers will naturally rise.

The so-called defending the country is still very reasonable.

But if there is a base morale, then there will be a floating morale.

The specific calculation is as follows: if the variety of food is greater than or equal to 5 per day, it will not reduce morale and will not increase morale.

The amount of food supplied each day, eight points full, does not reduce morale, nor does it increase morale.

Every day in a non-combat state, the fatigue of marching training is less than or equal to moderate fatigue, that is, the consumption of six hours of labor by a farmer in the field, which does not reduce morale or increase morale.

In combat mode, the morale of a combat team (100 people) will be reduced by 5 for each wounded person, and the morale will be reduced by 10 for each death, and the morale will be reduced by 30% of the current morale value for each wounded and dead person exceeding 20;

The number of wounded and dead exceeded 50, and morale was forcibly reduced to 45 points, the critical point of rout.

"Fortunately, the 500 soldiers provided to me by the village building order were not so hypocritical, otherwise I would have become wolf smoke now. ”

Zhang Yang thought very frightenedly, the setting of this morale value is very painful, but if you think about it carefully, it is also very reasonable, in the war on the earth, excluding modern wars, in the ancient cold weapon war, the casualties of more than 50% can still fight to the death and not retreat is really the elite troops led by famous generals.

Everyone is afraid of death, this is human nature, but in this fantasy background world, this setting is a fool.

"At this time, I'd rather these soldiers were NPCs!"

Complaining is complaining, but Zhang Yang has to make a choice.

That is, this group of soldiers with morale points are arranged as long-range troops, so that they can't die easily, so naturally there is no talk of breaking and fleeing.

In hand-to-hand combat, the first batch of veterans and elite troops must be used, such as the 40 two-handed swordsmen who are being trained.

"It seems that in the future, it is necessary for me to strengthen the cultivation of the elite-level population and the elite-level population, otherwise it will be very troublesome to fight just in the future. ”

When Zhang Yang was thinking about it, he saw Duan Kuan running over with a strange face.

"Village Chief, we came across a black fox this morning while patrolling around the village. ”

"Then kill it, what are you running back for?" Zhang Yang was surprised.

"But it's a black fox, the one we all met the other day, the one who helped us. Duan Kuan was in a hurry and hurriedly explained.

"So what? It dares to invade our village, and it will kill it!" Zhang Yang wondered if Duan Kuan's head was funny.

"No, village chief, let me finish speaking, that black fox wants to see you, yes, it can also talk, now salted fish Liu, oh, it is Liu Dali who is monitoring the black fox with a patrol, I ask you to decide. ”

Duan Kuan's face was white, obviously very excited, a black fox who could talk, it was very exciting to think about it, if it could become a few beauties, it would be even more exciting haha.

Zhang Yang was also stunned this time, a fox who can speak and speak Mandarin helped the hunting team a few days ago, and now he wants to come to see him by name?

Well, Lao Tzu doesn't look like Zhang Sheng!

"Okay, then take that fox to the tavern, Wu Yuan, you come with it." ”

Zhang Yang felt that this matter was very treacherous, so he was able to take precautions.

Duan Kuan took a step ahead, and when Zhang Yang and Wu Yuan led people to the tavern, the first thing they saw was a beautiful black fox, with that fur, eyes, and big fluffy tail, which must be very comfortable to touch.

But this can't change the fact that this is a big demon above level 25, and this fox's combat power is afraid that it can compete with Wu Yuan.

"You, looking for me?"

Zhang Yang looked at the black fox for a few seconds before he took the lead in speaking.

In the next second, the black fox spoke standard Mandarin.

"Respected village elder, I have no ill intentions here, but I have come with the goodwill of my king, my king said, it has no ill will towards you, and it is not your competitor, because three hundred years ago, its village was breached, it was scattered in the wilderness, and it has gone through calamities in nine deaths to get to where it is today, so you can call it and me a wild monster without any scruples. ”

"And I have come today to make a deal with you, the village elder, according to our observations, you and the orc Haru tribe one hundred and thirty miles to the southwest are about to have an existential war, so my king has sent me to convey goodwill, if you are willing to give ten white quality hope shards, my king will help you win this war. ”

The black fox's words were very clear and clear, but the shock to Zhang Yang, Wu Yuan and others was very huge!

I see!

Feelings: These wild monsters and demons have long been eyeing their village.

It's no wonder that there were flying demons constantly hovering over the village before, and no wonder the black fox deliberately helped the hunting team before, and his feelings were for today's plan.

Countless thoughts flashed in Zhang Yang's heart, and then he asked expressionlessly: "It's a pity that I don't have ten white quality hope fragments, so it seems that this deal can't be done, send off the guest." ”

"Wait, village elder, my king said, you can owe it on credit, you only need to repay it in the next year, and there is absolutely no trick of nine out of thirteen, as long as you agree, my king will definitely help you win this war, and then you will find out how benevolent and trustworthy my king is. ”

"Hey, your king knows our human race very well, could it be a human race?" Zhang Yang asked casually.

The black fox did not confirm or deny it, but just waited for Zhang Yang's reply.

"How can I be sure that you are using the same rhetoric against the orc tribe on the other side?" Zhang Yang asked again.

"When the war begins, you know that the orc hordes are willing to use the deaths of their soldiers to play a bad trick for us. The black fox said lightly, it seemed that he had been prepared.

"I only have a white quality hope fragment now, but I am still willing to trade with you, this hope fragment, hire you two big demons to help me fight, I don't need to fight to the death, I only need to kill a certain number of orc soldiers, what are the conditions?"

Zhang Yang sincerely proposed a new way of cooperation.

"That can't be, village chief. The black fox decisively vetoed.

"You can't be accommodating, after all, you also know how difficult it is to obtain white quality Hope Fragments, and it is simply unreasonable for you to ask me for ten White Hope Fragments just to win a war. "Frank and serious bargaining.

"I said, village chief, that's impossible, my family's eldest king Tongsuo is not deceived and honest, but there is no room for concession when it comes to pricing. ”

The black fox said proudly, although it was a fox, at this moment everyone could see that it admired and was very confident in its ghost king.

"So that's interesting, Mr. Fox, if, I mean, I don't agree to work with you, then are you going to turn around and go with the orcs, if they're willing to give them ten shards of hope. ”

Zhang Yang smiled slightly, but his gaze became very dangerous.

"No, village chief, I've already been to the orc tribe, and I asked them for 5 White Hope Fragments because their overall strength is stronger than yours, but unfortunately, the village chief of the orc tribe is only willing to give one White Hope Fragment, so our trade was interrupted. ”

"But if you also refuse to trade with us, village chief, then we will just withdraw, bystand, and will definitely not interfere in the war between you, because we are not competitors, there is no conflict of interest, we are just businessmen, pure businessmen. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yang smiled even more interestingly.

"Fox, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
