Chapter 35: The liver is finished
Under the double stimulation of money and food, the originally lifeless civilians of Sentinel Ridge glowed with a different brilliance.
However, they are a little confused about the pets and armor marked with sky-high prices. The armor is quite clear, good armor is a life, in this era of seriously backward productivity, a set of armor can be passed down as an heirloom, it is understandable that it is expensive, but what are those sky-high pets for?
They couldn't imagine the look on their face when they worked so hard to fight the wild wolf, and then exchanged this shopping coupon for a pet, what was the use of this thing? You don't eat it, do you?
"A bunch of turtles!" Vanessa scolded secretly, seeing that she was not popular in the market, she sent back the little fish people she had cheated out, this thing was still quite cute when she was a child, the voice was crisp and cute, and the wah-wow-wow-wow-la-wah screamed very good, but unfortunately these people didn't know the goods.
The pets were given a cold reception by the market, but the food and weapons were sold very well, and the goblins on the side of the venture capital company no longer cut wood, and now they worked overtime every day to build weapons for her, causing several nearby troll tribes to be extremely nervous, thinking that the goblins were going to attack them......
Most civilians are not stupid either, and between food and weapons, they generally give preference to weapons.
Even if you go out by yourself and get nothing, but you have a weapon in your hand, and a fool next to you changes food, isn't this okay...... Well, right? You can average it out for everyone!
The security of Sentinel Ridge was declining at an exaggerated rate, and in order to maintain order, the old knight recruited some young men into his militia unit.
The original team of 300 people has now expanded to 350 people.
Before, they were all cloth armor and wooden swords, but now with Vanessa, the self-appointed quartermaster, Sentinel Ridge can be regarded as a shotgun for a cannon, and seventy percent of them go out to kill wolves after work, and then go to her side to change into leather armor and iron swords.
The remaining 30 percent was also decided by the old knights, all on credit, which was considered to have completed the militia's major change.
Vanessa also cited the recent lack of security as an excuse to expand her team to fifty people.
Among them were the natives of Sentinel Ridge, as well as the guards she called hired from the outside world, the goblin Herlix. Piercing the armor walked into Sentinel Ridge in a grand manner, Vanessa made a cameo appearance as the quartermaster, and he was responsible for repairing equipment and providing sky-high explosives......
The tunnels of the Brotherhood dug very quickly, and every time Vanessa's goods were sold, she went north, as if she were going to the north to buy goods, and it was completely impossible for people to connect her with the Brotherhood in the south.
Four days at Sentinel Ridge, followed by three days for incoming and shipping.
On Monday morning, she would lead a caravan here to receive the goods.
In a month, she passed Sentinel Ridge four times, each time selling food and weapons to the civilians here, while pulling away the wolf's paws that were worthless in the eyes of the civilians.
Slowly, Miss Hope's good reputation began to spread rapidly among the common people, and people would give priority to her when they encountered problems.
The old knight couldn't sit still, he didn't worry about the problem of people's hearts, in his inherent concepts, there was no word for people's hearts at all! It doesn't matter whether the civilians love or hate him, even if everyone stands on the opposite side of him and yells at him to get out, he will stick to his principles and fight with his sword for his own ideals and holy light, not for the civilians.
It's just that the militia is still very grateful to him, considering that the old knight sold his armor, war horse and sword in order to recruit the militia, they gathered the shopping vouchers in their hands and exchanged a half-length armor called 'Silver Scale Breastplate' from Vanessa for the old knight to defend himself.
To tell the truth, the old knight was very moved, and Vanessa was also moved.
A silver scale breastplate for five gold coins! The spending power of these people is simply amazing.
Five gold coins are five hundred silver coins, or fifty thousand copper coins.
And the price she gave to the wolf's paw was fifty copper coins, which means that these people killed a thousand wild wolves!
What a liver! It was originally a fair trade, and she would not sell it because the scale armor strengthened the old knight's defense, so she happily handed over this half-length armor to the militia.
After that, the scale armor was sent to the old knight.
The old knight was very moved, as a strict and self-disciplined knight, he should not accept gifts from his subordinates, which did not conform to the rules of knighthood, but unfortunately everyone persuaded him, he really couldn't refuse, he could only accept this gift.
However, before accepting it, he made a point of explaining that he had bought this scale armor himself, and that he would repay the militia for their losses.
In order to pay off the debt, the old knight also had to go into battle to kill the wolf himself, with the militia training and patrolling during the day, and going out at night!
Even if he is strong, with three swords and one wolf, the number of these thousand heads is really a little more.
When the liver reached two hundred, the old knight's face was sallow, and he knew how tired he was by looking at the heavy dark circles under his eyes.
In fact, killing wolves is not tiring, all the wild wolves line up, grit their teeth, kill for three or five days, they will definitely be killed, the problem is that the nearby wild wolves have been killed by civilians, he has to go over the mountains and mountains to find the east and west directions, do not sleep in the middle of the night, rely on two feet to find the wild wolves in the mountains? That's not a lot of work.
"Old knight, you need to rest." Vanessa began to persuade him, don't liver first, life matters!
She now needs the old knight to resist the official gaze on the bright side, the nobles of Stormwind City know the old knight's character, so they are very relieved about the current situation in the western wilderness, if the old knight hangs, maybe there will be variables, so Vanessa doesn't want the old knight to exhaust himself to death...... At least not yet.
Vanessa took the lead and presented fifteen pairs of bows and arrows and two horses to the militia units in the name of the old knight.
Her plan for her future troops is muskets, Vanessa doesn't look down on bows and arrows, and she doesn't remember any good archers on the human side, there is a human named Blightcast who is good at archery, but this person is now a dead man, as Sylvanas. Windranger's licking dog, the other party can't come to help her train archers, she doesn't have that much charm......
The bows and arrows in the inventory were just used to buy people's hearts, and the horses were not war horses, but old horses that had been eliminated by the caravan.
Even so, these weapons were a great help to the militia, as bows and arrows could arm fifteen archers, and horses could be used to train cavalry.
The old knight selected two innocent boys from among the commoners, and prepared to train them to be his knightly squires.
Seeing that the troops under his command were gradually complete, faintly having the appearance of a little legion, the old knight was very happy, just like watching the child grow up day by day, the happiness in it is difficult to describe in words, but in addition to being happy, the debts are also increasing, and the knight's character cannot make him act like a repay, and he is now looking forward to the batch of material aid that Stormwind City promised him.
