After receiving two large bags of delicious food that money could not buy, the missionary decided to treat Randy as the most devout believer, and his work efficiency was so high that it took less than five days to find a group of colleagues who were living in seclusion in the Black Forest, and then brought them back to New Nijmegen.

"These guys...... Is it really a legendary priest? ”

However, after seeing the clergy recommended by this group of missionaries, Randy decisively believes that these people are not reliable.

Look at these people, wearing heavy chain armor, with a cross-modified smock, holding a zither-shaped shield and scepter in their hands, and a guy with a pot helmet, if it is a soldier, it is quite qualified, even those Viking warriors, I am afraid they are not the opponents of these guys, and their equipment is also quite good, and the visual inspection has reached the general level of the system.

"Of course......"

The missionary whispered: "These guys are the Nordic order, all of them are composed of Norsemen, because they have different political views from the empress in the south, so they live in seclusion here, and my contact with them is also accidental, although these guys prefer to slaughter heretics with a scepter, but as priests are also qualified, there is no doubt at all." ”

At this time, an armed priest seemed to be impatient to wait, and directly came up and pushed the missionary away, and asked, "Hey, boy, are you the lord here?" ”

"That's right!"

"You're the one who wants to hire us and make us your army?"

"Are you sure these guys are really reliable?" Randy grabbed the missionary again, looking at him with suspicion.

"Absolutely sure, besides, Lord Randy, the people in your territory are fierce, and all of them are Vikings, if you want to use people from other nationalities to preach, it won't work very well."

"Well, that seems to make sense." Randy nodded, accepting the group of people who looked like they had more military than clerics.

As a result, Enides' system beep reappeared......

"Ding-dong! Congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden perk, the Nordic Battlefield Order. ”

Nordic Battlefield Order: The Scandinavian priests are quite different, once they get angry, they will leave their dogmatic robes behind, and their armor is splashed with blood for five steps, their combat effectiveness, religious belief bonuses, and excellent equipment have multiplied their strength, and the combat skills obtained through religious penance are not lower than those of professional knights, and they are extremely powerful troops. ”

——————————

——————————

Randy made a profit this time, not only because of the solution of the problem of faith, but also with an extra team of powerful troops, and one step closer to the number of two thousand troops, leaving only a gap of one hundred and thirty.

But the next conversation with Enides made Randy feel like he was being cheated.

"That's right, the Nordic Battlefield Order is indeed very combative, but if you want the chanting skill to work, your army must believe in Christianity."

"What? Isn't my army Christian? I chose to be Christian in the first place! ”

"Faith is not the same as choosing a faith, may I ask the host, do you believe in Christ now?"

"Don't believe it!"

"So, if it wants to work, you have to get your army to truly believe in Christ, not just pay lip service."

"But if that's the case, what if there is a conflict with the Holy Authority?"

"Then it depends on the host's ability, and these Nordic Battlefield Orders, who are also a bunch of stupid and coarse fools, should be easy to deceive, and their teachings are slightly different from the mainstream teachings, which these Battlefield Orders are familiar with, namely: Blessed be the Lord my rock, who taught my hands to fight, and my fingers to fight. And the LORD was a warrior, and the LORD sent the Seraphs to kill the firstborn of all the families of all Egypt, and the LORD destroyed the world with a great flood......"

"Yahweh, the god of war?"

"That's right! Yahweh, the god of war. ”

……………………………………”

As a result, Randy decisively pulled the Field Order into the barracks and asked the Order to preach to the Viking warriors.

But what's the best way to tame these unruly, violent Viking warriors?

Nature is violence!

After hearing that their leader had come to the barracks with a group of priests to preach, the Viking warriors laughed and didn't think so, and the foul language turned into dirty mouths, but what they said was the postmodern non-mainstream way of scolding that Randy was familiar with, and God knows where these guys learned it.

However, in the face of such shouting, the Order was completely unimpressed, neither afraid nor angry. After that, the boss of the Order, a guy who claimed to be a priest, stepped forward:

"Since you claim to be heroic, let us compare, there are fifty of us, and you will also choose fifty men, and everyone will fight with their fists without weapons and armor."

So, within five minutes of the meeting, the Battlefield Order and the Viking warriors were in a fight!

It's really a fight, but fortunately, everyone is their own people, the axe and scepter are useless, and they directly take off the chain mail leather armor on their bodies, and then hit it with their fists, so don't worry about non-combat attrition.

For such a test method, Randy agreed after a little consideration, and he also wanted to know what was really going on with this class, which had very little data.

The battle begins!

Although the number of people was equal, the training and discipline of the Field Order were very high, and when they started fighting, dozens of people formed a small formation at once, and rushed towards the opposite side with the same pace, and their fists and feet were also very neat, maintaining a local advantage.

On the other hand, the Viking warriors rushed up like a rabble, howling and fighting for themselves.

Viking warriors and Viking soldiers may be not much different from the Battlefield Order in terms of bravery, but in terms of organizational discipline surname, it is completely incomparable, and this disadvantage cannot be seen before, because the tribesmen who fought before have a lower surname of organizational discipline than the Viking Army, but this time the opponent changed to the Battlefield Order in a close formation, the situation is slightly different.

The Vikings, who were still fighting alone, were beaten to pieces and lost before ten minutes.

The Viking warriors were speechless, the violent Celestial surname came into play again, and the Order's style was no different from that of the Vikings, so it was not long for the Order to mingle with the Viking warriors.

Of course, this time it's really a fight!

After hearing a lot of stories about the Bible taken out of context, these Viking warriors also became interested in the Catholic faith, especially in it, preaching that I had converted to the legendary Catholicism, and after being a Catholic believer, there were really many Viking warriors who followed the crowd, caught up with fashion, converted to Catholicism, and had a baptism or something by the way.

So, the religious problem was solved, and when the barracks were upgraded again, Randy recruited another team of Viking infantry, so that another mission goal was achieved, and the number of his army reached 2,000, and Randy added a little experience to the Field Order.

After nearly two months of development, New Nijmegen was finally upgraded to a small city with more than 20,000 subjects, more than 2,000 troops, and wiped out all twelve small tribes around it.

All four conditions of the first mission are met, and the mission is complete!

Get free upgrades to two buildings.

Looking at the whole town, it seems that the paved roads and underground water systems cannot be upgraded.

So pass!

If you want to upgrade the town center, the lord's mansion and the city walls, you need to further increase the population of the city to 12,000 people.

So pass!

In the case of military camps, the Viking soldiers, crossbow militia, and patrol cavalry that small military camps can provide are basically enough to deal with the battle.

So the same pass!

So...... Needless to say?

Blacksmith shop!

As long as the leather armor workshop is upgraded to a blacksmith shop, and the blacksmith shop is upgraded to an armor workshop, with a steel wire drawing machine, you can mass-produce heavy chain mail! Equipping Viking soldiers with heavy chain mail can greatly increase their combat effectiveness.

As a result, Randy was the first to upgrade the building and decisively chose the blacksmith shop.

As for the second upgrade, because in recent times, the whole of New Nijmegen has a strong religious atmosphere, and the Viking warriors have mostly converted to Catholicism, so ......

Upgrade your small monastery!

After that, the small monastery was upgraded to a large monastery, and the large monastery was upgraded to a small church.

Finish!

In this way, it is only a matter of time before the entire population of New Nijmegen converts to Catholicism.

After that, Randy thought that he still had some money in his hand that he had been rewarded before, and he should be able to do something more.

So, what exactly is a good thing to do?

But before Randy could think about it, a patrol cavalry rode into New Nijmegen, and seeing their panicked appearance, it must have brought no good news.

About a few days ago, after Randy and Enides discussed the issue of so-called Vikings and merchant ships, Randy thought that he had been cheated again, but after that, the light ballista battleships equipped with scorpion crossbows were not made, but small fishing boats, merchant ships, and a few more.

Fishing boats, nothing else, just dangling in the place where the wind and waves are not big in the near sea, casting a net to catch the net, fish, shrimp, crabs, shellfish, turtles and everything can be eaten, and other things that cannot be eaten are thrown directly back into the sea.

Merchant ships, on the other hand, have a slight problem.

Small merchant ships, although they can't go out of the offshore sea, but they can go along the offshore sea, and this is not a problem.

So some merchants in New Nijmegen spontaneously organized themselves to sell the hides they had hunted in the forest, as well as the surplus pottery and some iron tools made in the pottery workshops, to Oslo in the south.

Of course, in the end, the iron or something, all of them were detained by Randy.

Just kidding, iron is a strategic resource, do you want to fund the enemy or what? Do you still want to get mixed up? If you don't want to mess around, squeak it early, and within five minutes you will be raided by the Viking Legion.

The merchants begged their grandfather to sue their grandmother, but in the end they paid 1,500 gold coins for protection, and they survived.

"Please note that if the host continues to oppress the population, it may cause social unrest, which will naturally continue to decline, and eventually even riots."

"I know, let's not take it as an example."

As a result, Randy can't take care of the rest of the matter, and his main responsibility is just to collect taxes.

When the small merchant ships arrived in Oslo and docked, because there was no trade contract between New Nijmegen and Oslo, they had to pay a tax, so that the traders suddenly realized that they would not be able to recover their costs even if they wanted to sell all the goods.

For a moment, there was a wail in the cabin of the small merchant ship......

And none of the above is the point, the point is that Felix von Luckner, the lord of Oslo and known as the best heir to the Grand Duke of Norway, suddenly found that to the north of him, there was another force.

I've heard of Nijmegen, but what is the new Nijmegen? Small tribes that have just sprung up recently? However, with the fact that they were able to send several ships to trade in their territory, and with a group of Viking soldiers that Randy kindly lent to the merchants for self-defense, it seemed that the strength of this small town was not bad.

Thinking of this, Count Felix's mind began to spin again......

Now the conflict between him and Olaf III of Bergen has reached a fever point, and both sides are preparing to fight each other to the death.

Although Count Felix is confident that his strength is much stronger than that of the other party, and his ability and skill are not comparable to that of Olaf III's little cub, he can't stand the orthodox surname of Olaf III, and he is a little higher than himself.

Therefore, there are also many vigilant Viking tribes who support Olaf III, and the army that Olaf III can control also reaches 22,000 people, especially a chain cavalry force with more than 2,000 people, which is the trump card in the hands of Olaf III.

However, Count Felix was convinced that he would win, but it would not be good if the casualties incurred after the battle were too great......

Next, he has to uphold the will of the first monarch and continue to lead the army into England, if the loss is too great, it will not work.

Therefore, in recent times, Count Felix has been courting the dwarves who have emigrated from Greenland and Iceland, hoping that they will stand on his side, and it is best to send troops to war, and at worst, he should also help himself with some weapons and armor.

And Count Felix's reasons are also very legitimate!

The dwarven king was also killed in England, so if you want revenge, you need us Vikings!

And the Vikings are now running for the Grand Duke, if one of them is not good and loses too much power, then there is not enough power to conquer England, so you can do it yourself.

As soon as these words came out, in the last few days, the elders of the various tribes of the dwarves gathered together and quarreled fiercely.

The upright dwarven faction says that if you do so, you will be violating the traditional morals of the dwarves.

The sleek dwarf faction said: Things should be flexible, and no matter how bad it is, you have to make soy sauce.

In this way, the dwarves' own king has not yet been elected, whether they ask to participate in the Vikings' war, it is almost a mess, and the vast majority of dwarves are not in the mood to drink, which is why Randy has waited for so many days and has not seen the dwarven messenger.

When the scales of victory are balanced, even a straw can be the difference between victory and defeat, let alone an independent city with 2,000 heavily armed soldiers.
