"What happens if I order a tax rate reduction?"

"First of all, the income will be lower."

"Nonsense!"

"Secondly, it can attract displaced people to join the new Nijmegen."

"Very good, that's what you want, reduce the tax rate,"

"Chief, if the tax rate is lowered, our monthly income is only one hundred gold coins, and the maintenance fee of our army needs three hundred gold coins per month, please be cautious."

"Long-winded, I have my own way!"

The tax collector leaves, and then the mayor of the town of New Nijmegen asks for an audience.

"Where is it going?"

"Yes, there is a lot of work left to be done in the new Nijmegen, and you can choose to build some buildings to develop the new Nijmegen."

"What are the agricultural facilities?"

"The basic farmland requires five hundred gold coins, and the construction time is fifteen days."

"Build!"

"The number of mills is ten, it takes five hundred gold coins, and the construction time is fifteen days."

"Build!"

"Livestock fences, the number of building ten, it takes five hundred gold coins, and the construction time is fifteen days."

"Build!"

"Bakery, the number of buildings to build is ten, it takes five hundred gold coins, and the construction time is fifteen days."

"Build!"

In this way, a total of 2,000 gold coins were squandered at once!

However, Randy doesn't care, the basic agricultural facilities are all in place, and after the tax rate is lowered, more people can be attracted to join, and the more people join, the new Nijmegen can be upgraded, and the upgrade can build more buildings, recruit stronger armies, and expand more territory.

However, even then, it wasn't fast enough.

Randy's calculations show that an average of twenty homeless people will join New Nijmegen every day, and the upgrade conditions for large towns require 5,000 people, which is 150 days or 5 months, which is too long.

And if Randy chooses to sit back and eat, he will not have enough military funds to maintain his army, then the morale of the soldiers will definitely be affected, and in serious cases, it may even lead to mutiny.

"So...... Only robbery! This time, I won't be soft again. ”

The army of New Nijmegen numbered in the thousands, and was well equipped, even with twenty knights and fifty medium cavalry, such a force, even in Germany a hundred years ago, could be regarded as a formidable combat force, and it was easy to destroy some small tribes in northern Norway.

In addition, not long after the period of Viking raids, the various tribes must have made a lot of money at the moment, destroying their tribes and robbing their population, so it is a double win.

The army is on the march!

Randy wrapped in a robe, put on a fur cloak, and rode on the back of a two-meter-tall monster-level cold-blooded horse.

The generals' guards were usually stationed in the barracks in the center of New Nijmegen, and Randy ordered the servants, and then the well-trained guards knights quickly grabbed their swords and lined up.

"Pass the order, assemble the whole army, and prepare for war!"

When the order was given, the knights of the Guard, who were also heralds, quickly divided into four men and rode towards the barracks scattered around New Nijmegen, and ten minutes later, thousands of Viking warriors trotted together in the square in the center of the town.

Seeing that the army was assembled, Randy nodded and said, "Go on the march!" Burn and loot with me! ”

As soon as the words ended, the Viking warriors who had been holding back for a long time cheered, and the army quickly left New Nijmegen and marched towards the raiding target.

Although a hundred years have passed, Randy's experience in leading troops to fight has not been forgotten.

Tomahawk cavalry scattered in squads of five as front-line scouts......

Although Randy now has a system map of Enides, it will not be displayed on the map if there are no ambushes on the front line, so it is necessary to send scouts.

After that, the main force!

At the front of the line were four groups of Viking infantry, followed by two teams of Norse archers, who also carried some homemade rockets and oil, which they could use to meet the enemy if necessary.

Walking in the third formation is the elite general guard surrounded by two teams of Viking warriors, whose main purpose is to protect Randy's own safety.

Looking at the map drawn up by the system, Randy's army does not have to take the wrong path at all.

But what Randy didn't expect was that the environment in Scandinavia was too bad, it was still sunny during the day, but it began to snow at noon, and in just a few dozen minutes, the snow on the ground was almost not covered with paint, even if it was lined with leather armor, and a fur coat was draped outside, and he was wearing gloves, Randy was still shivering with cold.

Looking at the Viking warriors beside him, they were all alive and vibrant, and they didn't wear much, but none of them were very cold, but they laughed and laughed that such a wind and snow were more conducive to sneak attack cover.

After a two-hour march, the army finally reached its first destination.

A small Viking tribe with a typical tradition and no features, with a total population of nearly 1,000, and nearly 300 young and middle-aged people who can go to war, if necessary, plus the old, weak, sick and disabled, may be able to make up dozens of people, but if it really comes to that point, it is useless to resist.

"Take a break and eat something."

Randy ordered to rest in place, and the Viking warriors sat down, pulled out hard jerky and dry black bread from their arms, and ate them bite by bite through the snow.

The Viking warriors had eaten for seven or eight minutes before stopping, and then rested for a while, while Randy jumped off his horse and moved his arms and legs.

Although the food is difficult to swallow, it is able to fill the stomach, and after eating, I start to close my eyes and recuperate.

"It's time, Chief!" Ten minutes later, the guard knight beside Randy reminded carefully.

"Hmm!"

Randy opened his eyes and nodded, then jerked himself to his feet and raised his tomahawk, yelling:

"War! Slaughter! Plunder! We are Vikings! The strongest nation in all of Europe! The embodiment of death who walked out of the Nordic blizzard! The embodiment of the fury of the most combat-loving man! Now I command you, in the name of the Lord, with the authority given to me by God, to follow me. Beat up the waste wood that is less than 1/10,000th of us! Chop off the enemy's head with a tomahawk! Plunder their wealth and women! Let's go! Warriors! Follow me!! ”

"Armor!"

"Get on the horse!"

With the help of the two Guards Knights, Randy put on his Renaissance plate armor, turned over and said, "Forward!!! ”

At this moment, the small Viking tribe that is the target does not know that they have been targeted by stronger predators.

Because of the previous snowstorm, most of the people hid in the longhouse to roast the fire, and most of the soldiers got together to drink and complain about the current climate by the way.

That's when ......

Hundreds of rockets fell from the sky......

The war began......

But this war is not so much a war as a one-sided massacre.

A total of 300 Nordic archers fired a salvo with uneven remnants, and a total of few people were killed, and it had just snowed heavily, and the ground was covered in silver, and most of the arrows fell to the ground and were destroyed, completely injurious.

However, all of a sudden, hundreds of arrows were whizzing, and their deterrent power was still very great.

When the Norse archers switched to ordinary arrows and fired a salvo, and saw the people around them fall one by one, the women and children began to scream with their heads in their hands.

The scene was chaotic, and in the next moment, four groups of six hundred Viking soldiers rushed forward, and when they faced the old, weak, sick and disabled, they knocked them away with the round shields in their hands, and when they faced the young men, especially those with weapons in their hands, they directly cut them down with an axe.

Although it happened suddenly, the quality of the Viking warriors was still worthy of recognition, and the Viking warriors, who had just been half-drunk at the banquet, directly picked up the axes around them and ran out as soon as they heard the shouts outside.

But it's a pity that the courage is commendable, but the gap in strength is a gap that is difficult to cross.

The regular Viking warriors of this tribe combined were less than a hundred, and among these hundred people, except for a few elite people wearing chain mail or hard leather armor, the others were only equipped with fur clothes that were better for warmth than defense, and muscular arms and thighs were exposed, although this can be seen as a symbol of strength, but it also really gives people the feeling that you are mocking me for not daring to cut there.

In terms of quantity, quality, and equipment, it is completely at a disadvantage.

Coupled with the fact that there was a calculus or not, these seventy or eighty warriors were divided into several longhouses, and as soon as they dispersed, they were scattered by Randy's gang, usually a few, or even a dozen Viking soldiers attacking a tribal warrior.

Although the Vikings flaunt martial arts, they will never reject conspiracies and tricks, after all, these guys are pirates, and they are old in their profession of cheating and abduction, so they naturally will not have any rejection of fighting more and less, and they are all happily going up to beat them, and they will cut their opponents to pieces with a few axes, and then cut off their heads, holding each other's braids and laughing wildly.

In less than half a day, this tribe became history, and the Viking soldiers who were proficient in murder and arson killed and robbed the tribe upside down, and found a total of 1,500 gold coins, a number of other gold and silver utensils, a number of grain, dried meat and spirits, and then pressed the old people, children, and women who were taken prisoner, as well as a small number of young men who were all wounded, singing war songs and preparing for triumph.

After winning the first battle, Randy heard a system prompt sound of Ding Dong, and was looking at the task list, followed by a parenthetical bracket for the twelve tribes around the perimeter, writing (1/12), presumably such a thing as completion.

"Ding-dong! The system warmly reminds that when a soldier under the command of the host kills a Viking warrior, his life can be exchanged for three point rolls, and if he kills an ordinary adult man, his life can be exchanged for a little roll, and if he kills an old man and child who has no resistance, his two lives can be exchanged for a little roll. ”

"What? Can killing people be exchanged for reward points? Are you the devil, Enides? Randy couldn't help but explode after listening to Enides' prompt.

However, Enides did not answer Randy, but said coldly: "In the kill statistics, a total of eighty-five Viking warriors were killed, fifty-four ordinary young adults, sixteen old, weak, sick and disabled, and a total of 315 bonds were obtained. ”

Before Randy could react, a system page prompt appeared in front of him, and after clicking on it, it was written in a bloody font:

"Congratulations to the host for 315 bonds!"

"Hehe, do you exchange your life for a reward? It turns out that this is the curse of Enides! The exchange intermediate system has been strengthened, and the intermediate is cold-resistant.

"Ding Dong, the reward points are insufficient, is the life deducted?"

"Yes!"

Randy hurried leisurely, at this moment, the two attribute skills exchanged were already in place, and the beaten wind and snow blew on Randy, but Randy didn't feel cold at all.

At sunset, the sky was dotted with stars, and a few sharp-eyed Viking warriors pointed to the sky with their fingers in surprise:

"Look! Aurora! Red Aurora! ”

Everyone looked at the place where his finger was pointing, and they saw that the colorful and treacherous touch of blood red gradually occupied most of the place in the sky......

In the days that followed, Randy led his Viking army to plunder everywhere, although it was not to attack other alien races, but to attack his own compatriots, and his reputation was a little unpleasant, but he was invincible in the world, and in recent days, after plundering the five tribes, he said that he could continue to do it.

If you have money, you can do anything.

The army that plundered a lot of wealth in the middle of the war, and was fed well, screamed and prepared to continue looting, and half of the loot that Randy had shared, because of the presence of Enides, there would not be a place that could not be sold, and the gold and silver utensils and art and jewelry that could not be used were all put by him to Enides for cash, plus the plundered gold coins, Randy earned a total of five thousand gold coins in five days.

Sure enough, the snatching is much faster than the hard work you have accumulated!

Randy sighed as he saw the inns, carriage shops, gravel roads, pottery workshops, and breweries all built in his town, and small fishing grounds along the seashore taking shape.

Later, he recruited two crossbow-wielding militias in the town barracks to supplement his lack of attack power in the long range.

Although the militiamen armed with crossbows were not very well trained, morale, and disciplined, and their armor was only light leather armor, and their melee weapons were only daggers, the lethality of the crossbow was guaranteed as the most powerful and versatile long-range weapon in the Middle Ages.

A total of two hundred crossbow-wielding militiamen in two teams will serve as Randy's ranged workhorse for a while.

In addition, Randy also recruited two teams of light patrol cavalry to supplement the shortcomings of the army's lack of mobility, in the previous plunder, many enemies saw that Randy's power was strong, and after they couldn't resist, they would scatter and flee, and many people fled to the depths of the forest, and it was very troublesome to find out again.

The knights of the Guards wore the same clothes as the heavily armored tanks, and although they were faster than people, they ran more and breathless, and were not suitable for pursuit.

The tomahawk cavalry was fast enough, but these guys seemed to be more fond of slashing and slashing on horseback, and when they caught up with people, they liked to chop them off with an axe, and then use the braid in their hair as a rope and tie their heads to their waists.

Damn, don't they know how valuable these people are?

The population has only increased by more than 1,500 people, and there is still enough farming, fishing and hunting population to provide food, and the total population of the towns has increased these days is only 500, plus the displaced people who have come to defect in the past few days, the population of the towns of New Nijmegen has reached 2,600 people, and there is still a long way to go from the upgrade goal of 5,000 people!
