Chapter 536: Shop Around

"What the hell is the weather!"

Veskov muttered in a low voice, stepping very the boulder wall, and the rain that had piled up in the recesses splashed and flew in all directions. Fastest update [Premiere]

He is full of resentment about this continuous drizzle, although with his current strength, he has long been unconcerned about being drenched by the rain, but how can this be more comfortable than roasting charcoal fire, pouring vodka, and playing **** in a warm wooden house?

However, Weskov only complained, and he didn't dare to be careless at all, because he was no longer the leader of an adventurous group, but was given the name Wesf, and was completely loyal to Ma Chao, the official rank of general, and at the same time served as the lord of Biske City.

No one knows better than him the strength of this warlord from the east, which is the power that makes his soul tremble, so as early as half a month ago, he and Vashak, Zhang Chu, Badril and others secretly took refuge in this powerful force, and changed themselves very carefully, not only cooperating militarily, but also learning that kind of awkward language very actively.

He swore that this was more attentive than when he was 15 years old, so in just half a month, he had been able to have a good communication with that General Pound, and he didn't expect to get any good benefits, just to be able to listen to the orders given by this General Pound, so as not to miss any important points, and finally lead to a catastrophe.

And it turns out that Wesf's efforts are still good, at least in just five or six days, Biske City has been refreshed, and he has also accepted no less than a dozen tasks from Pound that are not too difficult to govern the city, and now his reputation in the Ma Chao camp has reached 2800 points, he is the first person in all the surrendered Ma Chao camp, and as long as he can increase his reputation to 5000 points, he can get the official position of a miscellaneous general.

Therefore, at this moment, even though Wesf was deeply cursing the drizzle, he was extremely serious about keeping patrolling.

"Huh?" When Wesf led his guards to inspect the east gate of Bisque, he suddenly heard a rapid hoof sound from the rain and fog in the distance, although there was the rising fog to obscure it, and the figure of the comer could not be seen, but Wesf was still full of vigilance, no way, he had to be vigilant.

In the blink of an eye, the sound of horses' hooves approached quickly, and then he saw one person and three horses, rushing over quickly, Wesf squinted his eyes, and secretly said in his heart, it turned out to be this guy.

"Stop!" Without thinking about it, Wesf shouted directly, and at the same time, he flew down from the fifty-meter-high city wall, just blocking the way of the comer.

The person who came in a hurry in the rain was naturally Zhou Yue, and he was also quite annoyed by this sudden drizzle, because the ground was slippery, so his speed dropped by a third.

"Captain Zhou, aren't you already on military orders to go to Shattered Leaf City, why are you still here? Could it be that you are a deserter? Wesf asked in an awkward Chinese, not only was he able to communicate normally in Chinese, but he had mastered a lot of basic terminology under great pressure.

Zhou Yue was also surprised, he didn't expect that this person was still a good student, but he wouldn't be stupid enough to clash with Wei Sifu head-on, especially at present, according to the official position of Ma Chao's camp, this guy is still his boss.

Therefore, Zhou Yue naturally hugged his fists and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the City Lord of Wei, my troops were ambushed by unknown elite masters after setting off, and suffered heavy losses, and now they are here to ask for help, City Lord Wei, your men are strong and strong, can you lend me two thousand men and horses first, well, don't worry, I will let General Pang De guarantee me, as long as I defeat those hellish ambushers, I will return it to you." ”

"Well, what's that going to do? I'm now tasked with defending the city, and where can I lend you extra soldiers! Wesf secretly screamed bad luck, if it was in the past, he would not be afraid of Zhou Yue opening his mouth like a lion, but now, in the same camp, if Zhou Yue really reported to Pound, maybe an order came down, and he really needed to borrow troops, although he could refuse, but it was undoubtedly a very troublesome thing.

"I've got something to do."

Wesf hurriedly said, turned around and left, made up his mind that he would not borrow troops, and at the same time he was quite gloating in his heart, he knew that Zhou Yue had spent 20,000 gold and recruited 1,000 recruits before, to be honest, it was he Wesf, and he didn't have such a generous hand, but now it's okay, it's really cool to be taken by someone.

Seeing Wesf leave quickly, Zhou Yue smiled slightly, and rode into the city, he was just scaring Wesf, because even if he reported the matter to Pound, there would definitely be no result.

Just as soon as he entered the city, Zhou Yue found that in just five or six days, this Bisk City seemed to have changed its appearance, the original chaotic refugee camps on both sides of the street were gone, replaced by a large number of simple wooden houses, obviously following the overall plan, and even a large number of craftsmen could be seen busy, including both Pound and the original refugees, but they were all incorporated into the artisan camp.

This is a very special formation, the craftsman battalion is not a combat battalion, so there is no big requirement for strength, and once you become a craftsman, or even a coolie attached to the craftsman battalion, then, you will get rid of the identity of slave hunting, it is estimated that many refugees choose to join for this, after all, in their opinion, they would rather endure hardships and be despised by others, and they absolutely do not want to fight on the battlefield, after all, there are many bloody people in this world, but there are also many cowardly people who are content with the status quo.

That's how slaves are made.

But no matter what, this Biske City has Pang De in charge, which is indeed a lot better, at least this black city has finally begun to get on the right track, because Zhou Yue has seen that in those areas with better locations, taverns, teahouses, blacksmith shops, carpenter shops, shops, it is estimated that it will not be long before even **** will appear.

This is the essence of the big forces, Zhou Yue has no doubts, it is estimated that in a month, Bisk City will be upgraded to a three-star black city.

Zhou Yue sighed so emotionally in his heart, and went straight to the barracks without stopping, because there was only one channel to buy those standard equipment.

When he arrived at the quartermaster, Zhou Yue first showed the captain's talisman, and then he entered the next link very smoothly, buying standard equipment, he was lucky, fortunately he didn't meet the greedy quartermaster, but when he saw the standard equipment that he needed to buy, he almost vomited blood, because it was too expensive, this is a big pit!

It turns out that there are only two levels of equipment in this quartermaster's place, one is level 5 standard equipment, and the other is level 20 standard equipment, all of which are yellow quality, and they are not very sophisticated, and the level 5 standard equipment is still very cheap, but the level 20 standard equipment is very expensive.

For example, a set of Xiliang swordsman's stopping equipment, including a total of standard wolf skin helmets, standard leather armor, standard leather boots, standard leather bracers, standard long knives, and standard skin shields, the quality can only be regarded as medium, but the price is 30 gold sets, and an additional 1 point of prestige of the Ma Chao camp is required.

Therefore, if Zhou Yue wants to buy the standard equipment of all 200 Xiliang swordsmen, he needs to spend 6,000 gold, plus 200 points of prestige in the Ma Chao camp.

The standard equipment of the Yellow Sand Spearmen is also the same price.

And next, the equipment of the Xijon longbowmen is to a higher level, perhaps because the quality is a little better, so the price is 50 gold sets, and each set also needs 5 points of prestige in the Ma Chao camp.

But the more exaggerated is still to come, the equipment of the rangers is more expensive, the price is 100 gold sets, each set requires 10 points of prestige of the horse super camp, of course, the equipment sold is also good, in fact, like the mainstream equipment of the major adventure groups in Bisk City before, it basically belongs to this level 20 yellow quality suit.

Of course, this price does not include military horses.

As for the final heavy crossbow equipment, it is even more exaggerated, requiring a set of 150 gold, and an additional reputation of 20 reputation.

It's a pit.

According to this calculation, the money required to train and train a thousand elite soldiers of all arms must be nearly 120,000 gold from beginning to end, and this is only to train to the second-order troops.

But the real situation is that even a wealthy guy like Zhou Yue can't bear it, let alone others.

However, it also shows the strength of these classes.

Because Zhou Yue calculated, if it was a thousand Xiliang swordsmen, or a thousand yellow sand spearmen, then from recruitment to training into a second-order army, then only 26,000 gold would be enough.

And if it is a thousand Xijon longbowmen, it only needs 40,000 gold, which can be regarded as bearable.

As for the Rangers, from recruiting to the second-order troops, if you train a thousand, it will take about 200,000 gold, which is quite terrifying.

Finally, there are heavy crossbowmen, and if you train a thousand people, it will take a full 250,000 gold, which is simply astronomical.

It is estimated that even Ma Chao can't afford it, right?

Of course, these big warlord forces, they have to have millions of gold in their hands, or even tens of millions, hundreds of millions of gold, otherwise, how can they raise soldiers?

Also, for example, if Ma Chao raises his own soldiers, it is definitely not this price, because he has a large number of craftsmen in his hands, and all the equipment does not cost money, so the price of Zhou Yue raising a thousand rangers is 200,000, but Ma Chao may only need 10,000 gold.

For example, Xiao Guanyin's heavy wolf ride, it only costs 100 gold to raise one, mainly to bear the price of raw materials for equipment, as for the rest, the giant wolf mount is free, the training is free, the recruited soldiers are free, the skills given are free, and the equipment is almost free.

If it is really according to the recruitment system of Ma Chao's military camp, to train a thousand heavily armed wolf riders, I am afraid that it will require at least 200,000 gold, or even more.

This is really not afraid of no goods, just afraid of comparing goods, Zhou Yue, who has a lot of resentment, can't help but miss Xiao Guanyin, who is thousands of miles away.
