Chapter 4: Dragon Rises in Northern Europe (3)
However, there will always be individuals in the world who can do things beyond the ordinary people's ability, such as rabbits weighing tens of kilograms, fierce dogs that can bite lions to death, and lizards that can freely change colors.
Unfortunately, humans are indeed a race that is very good at producing special individuals!
Seeing that the tomahawk in his hand was slashed on the opponent's body, nothing happened, and then seeing his own soldiers being beaten by the opponent's mace one by one* shattered, the enemy did not roar as fiercely as ordinary soldiers, but silently urged the horses little by little, advancing at the speed of a trot.
This gesture is as leisurely as taking a picnic and a lover to a lake date.
The matter of the Horde Alliance collapsed in an instant at this moment......
"Monster!"
"We're done!"
"Help! Mom! ”
Seeing this group of hoplites slaughtering their own people like a stage play, the red-haired berserkers already knew that their defeat was assured, and they had completely lost the war.
But so what? Isn't it the fate of a warrior to die on the battlefield? Dying in bed surrounded by friends and family is not the ultimate fate of a Viking.
"Hahahaha......"
In such adversity, the rest of the tribal alliance army has fled, and the berserker does not advance but retreats, and the battle axe in his hand seems to have life, turning into a piece of silver light, reaping the lives of the enemy.
Advance......
Advance......
Kill that guy!
Kill him!
He had already seen that Randy was the leader of the Vikings, so he was going to kill him, and even if he failed, before he died.
The red-haired berserker moves in Randy's direction, and the New Nimegen Vikings along the way discover his attempt, and the New Nimegen Vikings also roar to block his path and keep Randy safe.
Dress up the same!
The same weapon as the tomahawk!
The same roar!
It's a pity that the red-haired berserker is much more powerful!
When a knight of the Guard spotted the red-haired berserker, he hurried forward, his mace striking him in the head, intending to kill the stubborn foe.
However, the knight, who was originally invincible on the battlefield, met his opponent for the first time.
The red-haired berserker deftly dodged the knight's mace, and the tomahawk slashed at the legs of the horses under the command of these Iron Knights.
In the wailing of the war horse, the knight of the guard was thrown off the horse, the berserker stepped forward and cut off the neck of the knight with the least armor, one axe, two axes, and the arteries were brutally cut, blood sprayed and fought wildly, the knight's body twitched, and finally died.
Finally, immersed in the joy of victory, Randy found the guy, who had already appeared with a large number of wounds on his body, his own blood, the blood of his enemies, frozen into ice in the cold wind, and his whole person was dyed red.
"That guy is really amazing!" Randy lamented, completely ignoring the casualties of his own army.
Immediately afterward, the corners of Randy's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a cruel smile.
"Aim!"
At some point, Randy's side had gathered dozens of crossbowmen, and the crossbowmen in their hands were all aimed at the red-haired berserker who had fallen into madness.
"Shoot!"
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
The sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air sounded, and the tattered chain mail on the red-haired berserker's body could no longer provide him with sufficient defense.
All crossbow bolts hit the target!
The berserker's eyes widened, trying to move forward, forward, but the strength, temperature, and even soul were leaving his body little by little, and he suddenly felt a little incredible, he was so powerful, he had killed so many people, why did he still fail?
Unwillingly, his eyes widened, and the red-haired berserker exhaled his last breath and collapsed!
"Kill him!"
The Viking warriors, who had been suppressed by the berserkers, roared and pounced on them, like hungry wolves that had found food, raised their tomahawks and slashed indiscriminately, slashing the berserker's body apart, and then picked up a broken spear and stuck the berserker's head into it, giving out a smug laugh.
"Victory!"
Seeing this, Randy sighed slightly, but soon he was wrapped in endless ecstasy, killing, atrocities, and victories, instantly filled the senses of this resurrected man, making his body spasm, his face distorted, and let out a wild laugh like a night owl: "Hehehehe, hehehe, hahahahaha!!!! ”
The war was over, and looking at the corpses all over the ground, the soldiers belonging to New Nijmegen were selected in good condition, carried on their backs and prepared to be taken back for sea burial.
As for the enemy army, the leather and visor armor and weapons, which can be reused, were collected and taken away as trophies, and the corpses of the enemy, stripped naked, were discarded in their place.
Randy isn't worried about the plague or anything, there are a lot of wolves in the Black Forest of Norway, and he must come back the next day, there is nothing left here, environmentally friendly and clean.
Along the way, the Viking warriors sang triumphant songs, and the momentum was amazing, even some of the wounded soldiers were equally elated.
As the commander-in-chief of this battle, Randy is also very happy because of the huge gains.
It is impossible for the two armies to fight with them with their personal property, so the income from money is basically equal to zero, and the stolen leather armor is not of much use, but the looted chainmail is a fortune, and like the habit inherited from Nijmegen a hundred years ago, before the end of the medieval era, iron tools were of great value, just as the agricultural buildings of New Nijmegen were about to be completed, and these chainmail shirts could be smelted to make some iron ploughs for spring ploughing.
In this battle, Randy fought against 2,000 enemy troops with a force of 1,300 people, and finally killed nearly 1,000 enemy troops and captured nearly 500 people with more than 200 casualties of his own troops, which can be regarded as an epic victory, and Enides also rewarded Randy with some additional attributes.
Qualified General: A hundred years has not cost you your military prowess, you have already commanded and won a battle.
If you are determined: You did not throw yourself into disarray after encountering the enemy's surprise attack, but completely destroyed the enemy's army, and you will be more calm in the future battle command.
Ruthless Slaughter: Human Head! Head! Head!
Shameless Command: To your enemies, you are a Shameless Commander, and the name of Randy the Despicable will be restored.
Character Name: Randy
Domination Attributes: ★★★★
Brutality: ★★★★★★★
Randy looked at the army around him, and a sense of satisfaction arose, it turned out that the feeling of having a golden finger was so sweet, and he suddenly realized that if he wanted revenge, he might never be able to do without Enides.
In addition, the troops under his command have killed a lot of enemies this time, and he should be able to get a lot of points.
Thinking so, Randy opened Enides' system page, and the bloody bond numbers appeared in front of Randy's eyes.
Number of bonds: 2400
Bonus: If you kill a powerful special character, the Red-Haired Berserker, who has red hair and a red beard, and is extremely powerful, and you end up killing him in a shameless and dishonorable way, the reward will be increased by 50% and an additional 1200 bonds.
Upon his return to New Nijmegen, the inhabitants of New Nijmegen welcomed their army warmly, although the war did not result in the usual plundering of money and population, as a result of the victory.
Randy took advantage of this opportunity to recruit four teams of patrol cavalry in the town barracks through Enides, exchanging bonds for a team of tomahawk cavalry, expanding the cavalry force to six teams of 300 men, and replenishing all the fallen troops.
At this time, Randy suddenly discovers a very interesting thing.
"The number of army population in New Nijmegen does not seem to be linked to the number of urban population in New Nijmegen, and the army recruited during this period and the replenishment of attrition have not reduced the urban population."
Randy secretly said that it is not good, it seems that this time he will take care of the economy of New Nijmegen a little, and when all the agricultural supporting facilities are completed, plus the newly plundered serfs, the agricultural tax must be worth looking forward to, but the money is too slow to come, so Randy can't wait a little.
Thinking about it, Randy gradually came up with a bad idea in the Baltic Sea and the North Sea.
Commercial trade, especially maritime trade, has always been very popular in Europe, from the ancient Greek times, in Asia Minor after being beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and finally having to flee to the Greek peninsula by ship, the Greeks began their own maritime life along the Mediterranean, and then the rise of Rome, the Hellenization of Rome, the Roman domination of Europe, the decline of Rome, the European continent was in flames, but the tradition of maritime trade has been passed down one after another.
Although it is not Nijmegen, and it does not have the same good environment as the Mediterranean, the maritime trade in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea is also quite developed, and there are wars between various countries to seize the dominance of these seas, usually mostly won by the Nordics.
A hundred years ago, with the strong rise of Nijmegen, Denmark took control of the trade dominance of the sea in one fell swoop, and eventually formed the Kalmar Alliance, which integrated the power of the whole of Northern Europe and dominated the region for a hundred years.
The Viking era ended, but Normandy rose and William the Conqueror conquered England, with the Norsemen still in control of the seas.
Even in the Renaissance era, Sweden intervened in the HRE Civil War under the leadership of the legendary general Gustav Adolf, and finally established Sweden's position as the number one power in Northern Europe, and the entire Baltic Sea was still Nordic.
I'm not a German now, I'm a Viking, and a Viking is a Norse, and since this sea is Nordic, it's mine.
"But the first priority now is to build a dock and a commercial dock, and of course, before that, the seven small tribes should be completely wiped out."
The next war will be easier than the plunder war of the previous days.
Because of the large number of deaths of young adults, and Randy's strategy of splitting into seven routes and dispatching in full force one day later in the form of a blitzkrieg, the seven small tribes around were all wiped out after sunset the next day.
For the next two days, the Viking warriors returned to New Nijmegen with large quantities of booty, prisoners of war, and livestock.
It only took Randy eight days to complete the first mission objective, which was to eliminate the twelve Viking tribes in the surrounding area.
And the army under his command has also gained some experience in continuous operations, becoming a first-class veteran, improving some morale, attack frequency, and coordination combat ability.
At the same time, the population of New Nijmegen reached the target of 20,000, and Randy also achieved it.
In total, the twelve tribes provided more than 18,000 prisoners of war for New Nijmegen, and the women and children were also divided as booty, while the few young men were thrown into the villages outside to become serfs, and some of the older and skilled ones were put into the workshops of the city, and those who did not earn, sorry, continued to be serfs.
In this way, the population of the entire town of New Nijmegen exceeded 5,500 people, and the agricultural population exceeded 15,000.
20,000 Population Mission Goal - Achieved!
5,000 upgrade requirements - achieved!
"What are the criteria for Enides, a real city?"
"First of all, we need to meet the basic population requirements, and the population of 5,000 is the basic value."
"What else?"
"A complete administrative system! The total number of mayors, treasurers, tribunes, judges, their deputies, and administrators shall be fifteen. ”
"That'...... Can these executives redeem through you? ”
"Yes, one hundred gold coins for the main staff, fifty gold coins for the deputy staff, and the initial attributes are all above three stars, and you need to pay additional gold coins to increase the star rating."
"Little thing, I recently made a windfall, and I can afford this gold coin!"
"In addition, there is a need for supporting buildings, such as a lord's mansion, a large town center, and a stone wall."
"Stone walls? Castle? ”
"If the host wants to build a castle, that's fine!"
"O castle! Forget it, there are no castles in this world that are absolutely defensible, Nijmegen is a living example, or the walls of the East. Hey, I've always wanted to go to Constantinople to have a look, but unfortunately I ended up hanging up......"
"By the way, Enides, how much do you mean by that?"
"Three thousand gold coins for the lord's mansion, two thousand gold coins for the large town center, four thousand gold coins for the stone city wall, a total of nine thousand gold coins!"
"It's so expensive!" Randy sighed slightly, but gritted his teeth and agreed to pay.
"Payment successful, current construction time: thirty days!"
After Enides finished speaking, the whole of New Nijmegen was shrouded in a faint light, outside New Nijmegen, the circle of crooked wooden fences was bulldozed little by little by countless mysterious forces, and then large stones stacked neatly appeared out of thin air, glued together with glutinous rice lime juice, and a slightly thin city wall was built little by little.
The inner town center of New Nijmegen was also shrouded in a pale white light, the original building system was shattered little by little, and then wood, stone, and green bricks also appeared out of thin air and began to build automatically.
Next to the center of town, a Gothic building is beginning to take shape, with a tall tower, oval glass windows, and reliefs depicting a large number of war scenes, which looks quite like that.
"A month! Do you want me to sleep on the streets for the rest of the day? ”
Randy complained, and looking at the more than five thousand gold coins he still had to spare, he decided to build something more, just a little interested in the maritime trade, so a dry dock, a commercial dock, and so began to build.
Recruiting some shipwrights, a few merchants, and four thousand gold coins, Randy was once again destitute, but fortunately, in a few days, the basic farmland and mills, and livestock sheds outside the city were about to be completed, and with the addition of sufficient serfs, the agricultural tax could be raised to 1,000 gold coins, and the poll tax was more than 1,300 coins, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to pay the military salary.
However, in order to further develop, it is necessary to open up new sources of finance and taxation.
For example, maritime trade or something......
