Chapter XVI

These words are Lin Yuantu's true intention to see the dagger, that is, in the name of this caravan, he will get a twenty-percent discount in the General Chamber of Commerce of the Guardian Camp Alliance, and then borrow the funds of this caravan to embezzle it, anyway, it is not a robbery, as long as he takes all the wealth in the sand thief's lair, he will compensate for it.

In this way, Lin Yuan can not only train the troops, but also gather enough equipment for the soldiers, and in the end, in the name of justice, he can send troops to save the caravan, which is simply killing three birds with one stone!

And at this time, the businessman finally understood Lin Yuan's intentions, although he secretly scolded Lin Yuan in his heart for being too despicable, but he also had to admit that this was the best solution at present, and it was also very heartwarming to be able to share half of the sand thief's wealth in the end!

You know, no one knows better than their caravans how rich the sand pirates are, so if this thing is going to be successful, it may be worth a fortune.

Of course, bargaining is a must.

The merchant rolled his eyes, and then continued to weep and plead, "Honorable lord, I very much agree with your suggestion, but we don't have enough money in our caravan, and to arm enough soldiers, we need a lot of wealth, so-"

"No problem, I don't want your three hundred Chaos Rule Energy mercenary money!" Lin Yuan waved his hand and took a step back again.

"Thank you, merciful lord, but you must know that in order to scrape together enough money, we may have to sell some goods at a low price, and this is definitely not enough for fifty percent of the sand pirates. At least eighty percent of itβ€”"

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll take a step back. You take seventy percent of the spoils of the sand thieves' lair. However, you must equip my soldiers with good enough weapons and equipment as soon as possible, this is my final limit! Lin Yuan didn't insist too much, because as long as this caravan was willing to temporarily bear all the weapons and equipment purchases, it would have already achieved the result he wanted, after all, if he was arming all the soldiers, without fifteen thousand points of Chaos Rule energy, it would definitely not be enough. And can a sand thief's lair really be so rich?

It's hard to say.

"Oh, gods, great lord, as you wish, we will make a contract, and I promise that every soldier under your command will have the best equipment and weapons."

When the businessman said this, a task message automatically popped up in Lin Yuan's mind.

Number 15049683713. Are you willing to use the S-315 sub-base as collateral for Xinyi to borrow 15,000 points of Chaos Rule energy from the Gray Crane Caravan? The loan is valid for two days, and within two days, you must find and kill Bluebeard, the leader of the Virus Sand Pirates. At the same time, he promised to give seventy percent of all Bluebeard's private treasures to the Gray Crane caravan. As a repayment loan, and the Grey Crane Caravan is a guarantee. Trade and trade ports are opened at the S-315 sub-base every 20 days. will send a caravan to trade, (note that battlefield kill drops are not within this range.) )”

……

At this moment, what else is there to say, Lin Yuan directly chose to agree, as for how powerful the virus sand thief Blue Beard is, he didn't think about it, but there was no way out, because three days later, it was the time for the destruction camp to invade, and he had to equip his soldiers with all the weapons before that, and as much as possible, let them be promoted to high-level soldiers.

And when Lin Yuan chose to take over the task, the businessman was also so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, obviously feeling that he had made a lot of money, but Lin Yuan didn't care anymore.

The next step is to buy equipment and weapons.

According to the calculation of the 85 soldiers in Lin Yuan's territory, after deducting the 15 soldiers who already have the corresponding equipment, the remaining 70 still need to be armed.

Among them, as the elite, is a heavy shield armored infantry, four shield-wielding assault infantry, and five shield-wielding light infantry, all of which require a full set of equipment and weapons and shields.

Then there are the archers, five of the nine lightly armored rangers who are equipped and the remaining four who need full equipment and bows.

In addition, there are sixteen hunters, which also require the most basic bows and arrows and half-body leather armor.

Ten pikemen, also armed with half-body leather armor and ash pole spears.

All of the above requires a set of armor, forty sets of half-body leather armor, an all-steel heavy shield, ten leather wooden shields, a steel long knife, ten sharpened iron knives, twenty recurve hunting bows, fifty standard feather arrows, ten ash pole spears, and forty simple leather helmets.

One of the sets of iron armor, if it is eight folds, requires 1500 points of chaos rule energy, an all-steel heavy shield requires 400 points of chaos rule energy, and a steel long knife needs 600 points of chaos rule energy, which is to arm the heavy shield armor infantry.

Just this high-level class requires 2,500 points of Chaos Rule energy, which really shocked Lin Yuan, and at the same time, he also saw how heavy the task of developing a strong army is.

Forty sets of half-body leather armor require 4,800 Chaos Rule energy.

The ten-sided Skinned Wooden Shield requires 400 Chaos Rule Energy.

Twenty simple recurve hunting bows cost 2400 Chaos Rule energy.

Ten bladed iron knives require 800 Chaos Rule energy.

Fifty barrels of standard feather arrows require 2,000 Chaos Rule energy.

Forty simple leather helmets require 3,200 Chaos Rule energy.

Ten ash pole spears require 640 Chaos Rule energy.

If calculated in this way, the total value has exceeded 20,000 points, even if you add Lin Yuan's 1,500 points, it is far from enough.

So there was no way, Lin Yuan removed twenty sets of half-body leather armor and twenty simple leather helmets, and put the archer's equipment first, after all, the archer just hid behind and put cold arrows.

And in this way, it is equivalent to spending 4,000 points less, which is barely enough.

And that's still not counting the equipment of 20 pirates and 20 hussars, but it's already maddening.

Soon, the equipment and materials purchased from the Guardian Camp Chamber of Commerce appeared in the territory warehouse, and Lin Yuan quickly ordered all the soldiers to change their clothes. Then, let the merchant lead the way. He personally led all 85 soldiers and began his first expedition as a lord.

And this time. Lin Yuan had also learned the specific strength of the bluebearded virus sand pirate group from the merchant a long time ago.

It is vaguely estimated that there are at least 160 virus sand thieves in this virus sand pirate group, about fifteen sand pirate cavalry, about 20 elite sand thieves wearing heavy armor, 50 sand thieves wearing leather and light armor, and the rest are all sand pirate minions, and the sand thief leader Bluebeard is extremely powerful, fierce as a beast, but how powerful. The merchant couldn't tell.

However, Lin Yuan is also very confident, because on his side, there is a Sarion Praetorian Guard with a strength evaluation score of 120 points, and a Kugit lancer.

Most importantly, they had archers, twenty archers, half of whom were light-armored rangers with good marksmanship, and a supposedly powerful Livingston Ranger.

And the most important thing is that Lin Yuan himself is also good at long-range shooting, and this time he deliberately brought a horn bow. I brought two recurve hunting bows and prepared five barrels of 250 standard feather arrows for myself, just waiting for the big killing!

Soon, when all the soldiers were assembled. Lin Yuan gave the order to set off, saying that he really didn't know that he had a seemingly empty world before. It was possible to leave in this way.

It's like lifting a curtain, or like going through a map in a game. After a blank of five seconds, he found out. His army had already come to a desolate Gobi, and when Lin Yuan looked back again, he saw that the distance was filled with fog and shadows, like a mirage, there was an oasis, there was no doubt that it was his territory.

I really didn't expect that my territory was actually located in the desert Gobi.

"Honorable lord, please keep your army on alert, because that brutal sand thief will appear at any time, and their lair should be in a water source fifteen miles ahead."

At this point, the merchant trembled.

Lin Yuan listened, but he couldn't help but secretly call it a fluke, this is really luck, fortunately he launched it in advance, if he waited until three days later, he was almost certain that once the three million virus legions led by the destruction camp arrived, they would join forces with this sand pirate camp and attack his territory, this sand pirate group itself had more than 160 people, plus that part of the virus legion soldiers, at that time, maybe he would have to face a large-scale army attack of more than 300 people, or even 500 people, The consequences must be as bad as they can be!

Lin Yuan has no experience in arranging troops, but fortunately, this time the goal is clear and the action is simple, so he can deal with it so-so.

He didn't release scouts either, because on this endless Gobi Desert, his quadruple vision of more than two kilometers was the best scout, and unless the enemy had a large cavalry and launched a group charge, his troops would still have time to line up to meet the enemy.

In addition, Lin Yuan ordered the Salion Guards to lead the infantry and spear regiments in the first echelon, especially the four armored pikemen, leading ten spear recruits, to walk in the front, so that even if the sand pirate cavalry launched a charge at the first time, they could delay for a moment.

And the twenty pirates and the twenty light cavalry, all of them are placed in the center, because they are all only six years old, and they are all new soldiers, and they are easy to mess up, this time it is completely for them to brush up on their experience and strengthening.

Behind the recruits, there is an array of twenty-five archers, which can be regarded as a killer feature of Lin Yuan's attack this time, he delegated the command of the archers to the Livingston Ranger, in this way, in which direction this ranger is designed, the sixteen novice hunters will automatically follow and shoot, thus forming an arrow curtain cover.

The remaining eight light-armored forest rangers can find targets to shoot on their own.

Behind the archers, there was the only Kugit lancer, Lin Yuan didn't plan to let him hedge against the sand thief's cavalry, one to fifteen, even if it was as strong as Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry, he had to kneel down obediently, so this lancer could only be used to deal with the loose formation of infantry.
