044 Wage arrears
"You've been introducing Tier 3 mercenaries, can you also explain Tier 2 infantry?"
After considering his wallet, Wang Ziming decided to listen to Cole's introduction to the second-order mercenaries.
Cole's introduction is naturally not free, just like the original, after listening to the introduction, you must hire at least one team, that is, 10 mercenaries, otherwise Zhao Ritian will not have to leave the mercenary camp......
"Well, it seems that the harvest of the divine favor behind you in the Overworld is not as rich as expected."
Cole shrugged his shoulders and complained a little boredly.
"The 2nd Rank soldiers are all infantry in my place, except for the Swedish dragoons.
The muskets were used by Swedish musketeers from the regular army of the Kingdom of Sweden, armed with improvised reed guns, that is, castrated versions of reed guns, but even the castrated version was much stronger than arquebuses, both in terms of rate of fire and range!
The Swedish musketeers were also armed with one-handed swords for self-defense, but don't expect them to be as proficient in swordsmanship as the Swedish Escort musketeers, they were just a little better at using one-handed swords than ordinary farmers.
The 2nd rank soldiers in melee combat are mainly Swedish pikemen, who are also pikemen in the regular Swedish army, wearing half-body cuirasses and helmets, which can be regarded as having some protection, but the main melee still relies on formation.
Believe me, they'll be the best targets for the musketeers when they form a formation!
Of course, if they are used against cavalry, they may be a good choice.
You know, my mercenary camp has received a lot of Scottish 'armed refugees', they are poorly equipped, but they have a certain amount of combat effectiveness, so I can only reluctantly find employers for them.
The Scottish pikemen, their armor naturally can't compare to the Swedish pikemen, but don't expect me to cut the price!
And the Scottish musketeers, I never understood why this group of weak scum who were still using arquebuses demanded the same employment treatment as the Swedish musketeers?!
In order to ensure that I will not trade at a loss, their employment price will naturally not decrease in the slightest, after all, they are also real second-order soldiers, and their physical fitness can still be guaranteed.
All Tier 2 mercenaries are 2 gold coins for ten people, and the monthly salary is 1 gold coin, don't ask me about Tier 1 mercenaries again, the last time you hired was already the best Tier 1 mercenaries!
Those peasants and low-level laborers who are willing to work as long as they can eat and drink enough are a disgrace to the mercenaries, if it were not for the fact that they could still provide me with income......"
"Okay, I've decided to hire a Tier 3 Swedish swordsman."
Zhao Ritian suddenly interrupted Cole's chattering complaints, and Cole, who had become irritable, immediately turned cloudy, and said to Zhao Ritian with a smile: "Praise the great lord, the god behind you is too discerning, and our Swedish warriors are definitely the best!"
How many people do you need? ”
"120 people."
After hearing this, golden stars suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he nodded busily: "A total of 36 gold coins, thank you for your patronage!" ”
After Wang Ziming's consciousness was confirmed on the contract, the funds on the account immediately decreased by 36 magic stone gold coins.
Cole, who received the money, pulled out 120 bright white iron shells from the mercenary camp very efficiently!
Behind each iron shell is a two-handed sword more than a meter long!
After receiving these 120 people, Wang Ziming's consciousness moved, and another 12 gold coins disappeared, promoting these 3rd-order Swedish swordsmen to 4th-order Swedish senior swordsmen!
I saw a glimmer of light on these 120 people, and the style of the armor had not changed, but the thickness and defense had increased to the same extent as the Swedish pistols!
And the physical fitness of a senior Swedish swordsman who has become a 4th tier soldier can also withstand even heavier full-body plate armor!
As a result, the 48 Magic Stone Gold Coins were gone......
Wang Ziming glanced at the remaining 3 gold and 38 silver on the account, and simply exchanged it for ten Swedish town militias again, and then spent 1 magic stone gold coin to upgrade it to a 2-level Swedish senior town militia!
Cole, who was standing on the side, saw the advanced light of the 120 Swedish swordsmen brushing together, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's good to be rich!" ”
However, just as Prince Mingzhi was complacent and was about to order Zhao Ritian to take the group back to the territory of another dimension, he suddenly got a hint.
[The balance on your account is only 1 gold and 38 silver, and 120 Swedish senior swordsmen need to pay a monthly salary of 36 gold coins in advance, and after deducting 1 gold coin, you owe 35 gold coins to the mercenary salary!]
Settle the wages of the Swedish veteran swordsman within a week, or they may choose to reneg on your allegiance!
The sooner the debt is settled, the less opinion the Swedish Senior Swordsman will have.
A qualified lord should not be in arrears with the salaries of his mercenaries! 】
On the other side, Cole's face changed, obviously he had found something interesting, and chuckled in an inaudible voice: "Hehe, I didn't expect to go bankrupt so soon......"
Afterwards, Cole led his men back to the mercenary camp without looking back.
"Damn, I forgot to pay mercenary salaries in advance!"
Wang Ziming glanced at the obvious dissatisfaction on the faces of most of the senior Swedish swordsmen, and felt that he needed to take the initiative......
Otherwise, after a week, the veteran Swedish swordsman he had spent a lot of money on would probably be in vain!
Although the mercenary fee of these mercenaries is not high, the monthly salary paid for a long time is a heavy burden, now only 120 fourth-order Swedish senior swordsmen have a salary of 36 gold coins a month, if it is more in the future, wouldn't they have to pay hundreds of thousands of gold coins every month?
"It seems that mercenaries can only be used as an emergency measure, and the long-term army is still easy to use as soldiers in the territory of another dimension, and they can be upgraded and don't have to pay a penny of salary!"
When the prince repented, Zhao Ritian proudly walked towards the territory of another space with 120 iron shells and 10 senior Swedish town militiamen.
During this period, the team also encountered a group of bandits of dozens of people, but after the bandits saw Wang Ziming's team, they immediately ran away without looking back, and they didn't even have to shout slogans......
Hundreds of Rank 4 soldiers are estimated to be invincible on the periphery of the Alien Dimension, at least compared to the outlaws.
It's just that the cost is a bit high......
After swaggering all the way back to the territory of the other dimension, Wang Ziming woke up from the tent, and when he got out of the tent, he was surrounded by a group of iron lumps.
A representative who had been pushed out by a senior Swedish swordsman stepped forward and said to Wang Ziming: "This employer, my name is Eriksen, I don't know what you call it?" ”
"My name is Wang Ziming, you can call me young master in front of outsiders, what's the matter?"
"Hello, young master, on behalf of 120 senior Swedish swordsmen who regard glory as their life, I have come to negotiate with you about the arrears of mercenary fees."
