In fact, the reason why Lei Zihao's government owes so much white strips is mainly because the war dividends and robbery wealth obtained by Lei Zihao were used to expand armaments and promote the main city buildings, and the white strips owed have not been repaid at all......

If it weren't for the fact that one of the cities of Pylos was squeezed and sucked blood, I'm afraid the time for the white stripes to be paid off would have been delayed!

However, according to the degree of tax squeezing, if there is no suicidal rebellion in the city of Pylos, it will not be long before there is no oil and water to squeeze......

When everything in the Golden Dragon Kingdom stabilized, Lei Zihao's main concern was naturally the reorganization and expansion of the army!

In the quiet development, the time soon came to December 501 of the dark calendar, and the fourth-level legion barracks built at an accelerated pace were completed first!

Lei Zihao came to the control room in the city hall with joy and clicked on the recruitment of the fourth-level troops in the city barracks!

[Class: Praetorian Guard.]

Equipment: Iron Dome Helmet, Heavy Chain Mail, Standard Dress Boots, Iron Spear, Melee Short Sword. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Soldier size: Standard 1,000 troops.

Specialty: Spear phalanx

Combat effectiveness assessment: They are good at fighting in formations, and they are also good at melee combat, and they belong to the standard and cheap ironclad army.

Morale: Eight stars

Recruitment cost (1,000 gold coins), maintenance cost (food and clothing degree).

Outstanding Ability: Fighting for honor is their belief.

Notes: The prominence of morale and the low cost of the ironclad army are the biggest advantages of this army, as the Praetorian Guard, they are willing to bear the cost of casualties beyond the ordinary army, and fight for their own king, they can be used as the most basic and largest number of field army main forces, after all, no king has the ability to make all his troops high! 】

It doesn't seem to be much stronger than the third-level troops, but the price hasn't increased, and the morale is one star higher than the third-level troops.

This recruitment fee can completely become an ordinary regular soldier in the Golden Dragon Kingdom in the future, and the cost performance is still quite good!

Worthy of the Kingdom Guard.

Lei Zihao commented in his heart, and then aimed at the next class of troops produced by the fourth-level military camp.

[Class: Heavy Armored Golden Shield.]

Equipment: Iron Garden Helmet, Half-body Plate Armor, Standard Combat Skirt Combat Boots, Iron Spear, Iron Square Shield, Melee Standard Fine Iron Tang Knife.

Soldier size: Standard 1,000 troops.

Specialty: Shield Array and Knot Charge

Combat Effectiveness Assessment: This is an army composed of carefully selected and strong soldiers, who have tenacious willpower, strong combat skills, iron discipline, and equipment that is not weaker than the Scarlet Crusaders, and in some respects, there is not much difference between them and the real core elite combat power!

Morale: Nine stars

Recruitment cost (3,000 gold coins), maintenance cost (food and clothing degree).

Outstanding ability: Forming a shield array is completely immune to the enemy's long-range arrow projectile strikes.

Notes: Higher morale, better equipment, it can be said that this is a heavy armored melee regiment that can be used as the foundation of the empire, with them, even if the enemy has thousands of arrows coming at them, they can attack without damage!

When such a force appears on the battlefield in large numbers, it will definitely become a nightmare for the enemy, this is an elite army that will continue to drive out as long as there is money! 】

It is true that the appearance of the heavy golden shield soldier is not much different from the Scarlet Crusader, except that the fanaticism and physical fitness of the soldier itself are not as good as the Scarlet Crusader, there is almost no gap in other places, and it can definitely be used as the main combat arm of the kingdom, but the price that is three times that of the Praetorian Guard is really a bit ......

Lei Zihao remembered that there were only nearly 10,000 gold coins left in the warehouse......

This does not include the cost of feeding them after recruiting them, after all, those weapons and armor need to be maintained, and maintenance costs money!

It seems that the regular soldiers in the barracks do not need to be paid, but the soldiers' clothing, food, housing and transportation all need government funding, as well as the maintenance of equipment......

But!

Without maintenance funds, weapons and armor are rusty and astringent, not to mention the cripples, the soldiers will not be able to get sufficient food supplies, and they will inevitably be dissatisfied, and no one can guarantee what will happen when they go to the battlefield......

No matter how loyal the soldiers are, they must be fed and clothed!

"Forget it, when the remaining two military buildings are built, let's compare and recruit together, hey, it's still stuck in the problem of money, if there is enough money, even if I don't use the special elite troops drawn by the War Faith lottery, just with a large number of regular troops, it is enough for me to dominate the world......"

Lei Zihao didn't wait long, after the upgrade of the fourth-level military camp was completed, the fourth-level shooter battalion and stables were upgraded one after another, and the acceleration gold coins spent by Lei Zihao were not used in vain!

When the dark calendar came in January 502, in the capital of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, all the three major military buildings were promoted, officially ushering in the era of the fourth-level troops!

The fourth-level projectile range produces scorpion crossbows, torsion catapults, and heavy trebuchets and other equipment, but there are no new troops, and the longbowmen and heavy foot crossbows that Lei Zihao is looking forward to have not appeared, maybe it will have to wait until the level 5 barracks......

And the fourth-level legion stables have two more practical cavalry classes!

First of all, there is an upgraded version of the submachine lancer - heavy cavalry!

[Class: Heavy cavalry.]

Equipment: Iron Knight's Helmet, Cavalry Heavy Chain Mail, Standard Combat Skirt Combat Boots, Iron Cavalry Lance, Cavalry Iron Shield, Scimitar for Iron Cavalry.

Soldier size: Standard 1,000 troops.

Specialty: Cavalry charge

Combat Effectiveness Assessment: This is a heavy cavalry, both the ability to resist arrows and the ability to charge have been further enhanced, and throwing them into the gap in the enemy line will give you an unexpected reward!

Morale: Eight stars

Recruitment cost (10,000 gold coins), maintenance cost (food, clothing, and horse raising cost).

Outstanding ability: strong impact force.

Note: Although the price is a bit more expensive, it is definitely worth the money, if they are allowed to hedge against the submachine lancers, there will basically be no suspense, and the heavy cavalry can easily crush the lightly armored submachine lancers!

The momentum of the cavalry can be very intuitively reflected in their body, with heavy cavalry, you can at least try to make a frontal assault on the infantry phalanx, of course, don't rush at the full spear phalanx of the cavalry......]

Lei Zihao blinked, and finally made sure that he was not dazzled, and the price above was a real 10,000 gold coins!

This sister is a local tyrant class!
