Chapter 147: Robbery Journey (Reward and Change)
After Lei Zihao was upgraded to the level 4 city main city, he had fully realized that there was only one thing he lacked now - gold coin resources!
Whether it is valuable indigenous artwork or expensive luxury, it is a very useful thing for Lei Zihao, when the army can be concretized out of thin air, iron ore, the origin of raw materials for making weapons, has greatly reduced the effect on Lei Zihao, and it is also possible to build some siege equipment and equip the soldiers of the servant army with weapons!
It's just that Lei Zihao is reluctant to use the loyal population rewarded by the system to serve as cannon fodder-like servant army, all of which are selected from prisoners of war, and every expansion of the servant army is accompanied by a victory in a big war.

Since they have won the war, they will naturally have a large amount of loot, those big-headed soldiers are poor, but the weapons in their hands are still good, even if more than half of the cold weapons will be scrapped in combat effectiveness, on the battlefield of more than 100,000 scales, as long as there are one or two weapons that can continue to be used, it is enough for Lei Zihao to arm the prisoners of war cannon fodder without pressure!
The biggest advantage of cold weapon warfare over hot weapon warfare is that the cold weapons required for combat will not cause too much pressure on logistics!
An ordinary iron sword with a low quality can at least hack to death and slash a dozen people before it may be damaged, and ordinary soldiers on the battlefield can kill two or three people It is a good record, how can there be a chance to scrap the weapon in his hand?
Unless they're all as tough warriors as the Foot Knights!
However, the weapons used by real elite warriors are basically made of refined wrought iron and repeatedly beaten, and the quality is much better than that of ordinary iron swords, and the durability used is naturally much greater than that of ordinary weapons!
For example, the heavy long sword used by the Scarlet Crusaders, as long as the strength is enough, can even cut the iron sword used by ordinary creeps in one blow!
Naturally, the long swords used by the Scarlet Crusaders could buy more than a dozen ordinary iron swords for the price of one......
In the human world, it is definitely a high-end weapon that only official knights can afford!
If it weren't for the fact that the system packed a full set of equipment together when rewarding the army, I'm afraid that Lei Zihao would have gone bankrupt many times just by preparing a weapon for them......
The amount of offensive weapons captured on the battlefield is naturally enough, and a lot of them can be divided into the security militia in Megara City and Longhan City!
But intact armor is hard to come by!
Armor is much more valuable than weapons everywhere, and even ordinary leather armor is worth as much as a refined sword!
After all, there are more materials used in armor, more complex to manufacture, and more man-hours consumed, and each iron armor means a lot of wealth!
The mercenaries who are prevalent in the human world, very few can wear real iron armor on the battlefield, most of them can only simply put on a layer of leather armor, and even if they can wear iron armor, they are wearing armor inherited from their predecessors, or they are simply plucked from the corpses of dead people on the battlefield, and they are used for tinkering......
Therefore, there are really not many soldiers in the crusader who can wear real iron armor, and the owner of the armor is dead, and the armor on the body will inevitably be damaged to varying degrees, and some even cannot be repaired at all!
Therefore, after defeating the Crusaders, Lei Zihao did not get much armor from the loot, not even much that could be repaired!
Intact and even more rare, only a few sets were taken from the few captives who voluntarily surrendered......
Li Si organized about 10,000 prisoners of war cannon fodder, naturally, the armor allocation rate is very low, and even the leather armor can't be put together!
There is no set of iron armor, and there are not many repaired iron armors, all of which have been arranged by Lei Zihao to be worn by the security guards in Megara City and Longhan City, and there are not many of them, and the protection of the repaired iron armor is also very average, and it is really not of much use on the battlefield......
Even for the nobles of the human world, the enthusiasm for making all kinds of weapons is much higher than for making armor!
Because the armor-piercing crossbow, armor-piercing hammer, and armor-piercing long weapon belong to the universal cold weapons in the human world, even if it is a full-body plate armor, it is not invulnerable, and only a team of armor-piercing troops needs to be prepared for special purposes, and the troops armed with expensive full-body plate armor can be smashed to pieces!
Because in terms of cost performance, the enemy can easily use ten times the strength of the elite troops with full-body plate armor and equip them with targeted armor-piercing weapons to crush them!
Compared to the high-end armor that costs a lot to build, the cost of a soldier is outrageously low!
If it weren't for the existence of knights in the human world, who are beyond ordinary personal martial arts masters, I am afraid that the expensive armor would have disappeared from the army of the human world long ago......
Just like the ancient kingdoms of the East in the history of the earth, with the development of technology, heavy armor has become less and less, and the role of armor is more used to defend against arrows than in melee combat......
When firearms became widespread, armor became a 'ceremonial uniform' for upper-level generals to show their status, and no country was willing to equip soldiers with armor that was expensive but not very useful......
Of course, this does not mean that the role of armor is not good, but compared with cheap crowd tactics, the cost performance of heavy armor is too low, if any nobleman is rich and powerful, he will still arm himself as much as possible A group of heavy armor troops as a guard, this kind of force can play a miraculous role at some point!
For Lei Zihao, thanks to the magic of the all-out war system, he could completely ignore the high cost of heavy armor, and naturally, he chose a route that relied on equipment to crush the enemy!
This kind of extravagant behavior is what every ruler dreams of, but it is also a sane ruler who tries to avoid, war is very costly, if you spend a lot of money to build a heavy armored army, the first war is exhausted and bankrupt, but there is no place to cry!
Unless, this ruler has a constant supply of energy, and the economic strength is bursting out of the heavy armored troops that have been followed one after another!
In this world, except for the Night Elves, who value the lives of their own people, and the Dwarves who have a small army, no country dares to fully re-armor their army!
The armor used by the Church, which includes the wealthy Church, is also a lightweight chain mail, mainly used to protect against long-range arrows......
In this way, in the middle of the dark calendar year 501, Lei Zihao led a large army and started a robbery journey against the last main city of the city-state of Pylos - Pylos City!
