Late at night, candles burned in Rod's room, and Zhu Peng sat at his desk looking at the map. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li'er, who was content to have dinner with the person she admired, was pressed by Zhu Peng, and she fell asleep with a red face holding the quilt.

It was not a sleeping hole at one point, but after being coaxed into some stamina wine, Zhu Peng gently pressed the acupoint on the back of her neck to promote sleep, and after a while, the little girl lost consciousness in a drowsy state.

Not long after Old John sent out to scout, it would take at least a day and a half to bring back accurate information, and not long after he brought back information, the knights led by Magaly had already arrived at the city of Djerboburg.

Don't care about the scouts at all, no matter whether the Magali of the Riwa Che will call or not, Zhu Peng will call him: if you guess wrong, it will be a false alarm at most, in case you guess correctly......

Unlike Fort Djerber and Fort Elbuk, which are located on the border between the two countries, Zhiwache is located on the eastern coast, deeper into the relatively safe hinterland of the Virgian border.

The prosperity of commerce allowed the lords there to raise more elite warriors, and the endless pirate groups on the coastline brought countless training opportunities, and in Rod Custer's memory, the Riwacha had at least five hundred or six hundred elite warriors, and it can be said that the overall strength was stronger than the sum of the Custer family and the Elbuk family.

Not to mention the ambitious and talented Earl Magali, such a military force and wealth in the hands of any nobleman would probably breed ambition.

Not to mention, the elite cavalry regiment that Viscount William is proud of, Count Magali is afraid that he can pull out a team of two hundred people in turn, and it is more elite and powerful than the fifty-man cavalry regiment in the hands of Viscount William.

The thought of such a cavalry regiment rumbling over, Zhu Peng felt a toothache.

The strength of the Caster family is close to the strength of the Elbuck family, as an old nobleman, the military strength of the Elbuck family is actually stronger than the Caster family, and the castles of both sides have about two hundred and fifty full-time warriors.

It's just that the really elite who can be used, that is, the warriors of the third to fourth level, the Custer family only has about one hundred and twenty people, while the Elbuck family has two hundred.

After the decisive battle, the relatively powerful Elbuc family was wiped out in two hundred steps, leaving only fifty low-level Nord warriors in the castle, they did not dare and would not resist the soldiers of Viscount William, otherwise the viscount who was provoked would really slaughter the city after breaking the castle.

However, the remaining 130 people in Fort Gerber may not be better than the 50 low-level Nord warriors in Fort Elbuk, most of them are some trained junior soldiers, or second-level Vigia infantry, and the third-level guerrilla shooters and third-level senior infantry are full of 30 people, and with such a force of 130 people to fight against the fifth-level knights of Count Magali, the result will only be a one-sided slaughter.

Even if you add the geographical advantage of defending the castle, you can't beat it, as long as you are rushed to the city, the battle situation will be like chopping melons and vegetables.

"It may be enough for me to defend the city and deter pirates, and I want to deter a great nobleman like Magali...... Just kidding. Slender white fingers slid over the row of words "first-class blacksmith shop, first-class market, first-class tavern, second-level prison, second-level barracks", and finally stopped on the first-level tavern and second-level prison, after thinking for a while, Zhu Peng got up and put on his robe, he pulled the quilt on his bed, and then turned and walked out of the room.

Variables must be added, otherwise there is little chance of succeeding in defending the castle, and I am afraid that as soon as the Magalys army comes, he will be rebelled by his betrayed subordinates and then twisted into the city.

............

In the medieval environment of Western Europe, there was no entertainment in the middle of the night, and although there was no curfew, the poor people who generally did not even have enough to eat obviously did not have enough energy to revelry in the dark night...... Taverns are exceptional.

Mercenaries, merchants, travelers, bards, and even fugitives gathered in taverns, around campfires, drinking bad wine, bragging, and watching the prostitutes of pose.

In a first-level tavern like Fort Jerbor, there are almost no outstanding mercenaries, but Zhu Peng, who is seriously lacking in combat power, still found eight mercenary crossbowmen from a dimly lit corner, third-level soldiers, the hiring price is expensive, and the combat effectiveness is much weaker than the formally cultivated third-level soldiers.

The warriors of the Calradia continent are warriors, and civilians are civilians, and the full-time military service system is implemented, which is also because the whole world lacks resources, and has to concentrate limited resources on a small number of people to form an elite. The Vigia boy was led out of the village by the nobles, and was the Vigian recruit, that is, the boy army, which was a first-class soldier, and his actual combat effectiveness was about the same as that of an ordinary peasant with an iron sharp weapon.

After they were trained by the lord's barracks, they gradually improved their combat power and were promoted to the second-level Vigia light infantry, which is also the limit of the second-level barracks in the castle of Djerbo of the Custer family.

Follow Viscount William to rush to the battlefield, under the leadership of senior veterans and coastal pirate regiments, as long as you don't die, most of them can be promoted to the third level, at this time there is a branch of the promotion system of Viggia warriors, one is the senior infantry of Viggia on the melee side, and the other is the Vigia guerrilla shooter on the long-range attack side.

This kind of third-level soldier who can be used, Zhu Peng only has more than 30 people in Djerbo Fort at this time, and the remaining 100 people are all first-class and second-class soldiers, basically a group of peasants with iron sharp weapons, they are not of much use in the city defense, and they are not qualified to be cannon fodder.

The third-level soldier was promoted to the fourth level, and another branch appeared in the military system, the senior soldiers of Viggia were promoted to Viggia infantry, and the Vigia guerrilla shooters were promoted to Vigia archers, the name was simplified, but the combat power was increased, and the fourth-level soldiers could be said to be elite in any legion on the entire continent.

And in addition to the promotion of Vigia infantry, Vegia senior soldiers can also choose to promote Vigia riders, provided that the lord sees that you are willing to buy a horse for you, and you have enough superb riding skills, if you get on the horse and faint, it is undoubtedly not a cavalryman.

Finally, there are the three fifth-level promotion branches of the fifth-level class Vigia Knight, Vigian Guard, and Virgia Marksman, Virgian Guardian and Virgia Marksman are not mentioned for the time being, and the knights from Rivacheze are the existence that Zhu Peng is about to face...... Qualified to be called a knight order, it means that the fifth-level knights in this cavalry regiment occupy a considerable proportion, and more than 100 of the two hundred cavalry are fifth-level soldiers.

In the entire five major countries of the Calradia continent, except for the Nord infantry system, which has a sixth-level super heavy infantry "Norhuang" guard, the promotion system of the other four major countries is similar to Vigia's level one to five, basically the difference between the two levels is one level, and there is already a gap in combat power.

Now Zhu Peng wants to lead a group of first- and second-level hundred-man teams, relying on the castle's geographical advantages to compete against a two-hundred-man knight order...... Unless Zhu Peng is immediately promoted to an official wizard now, or immediately reinstates the cultivation of Danshi, there may still be a few chances of winning, but at this time, he dragged Rod Custer's super-crippled body, and at random two Virgian knights with big axes, he could cut him into white chickens.

It was because the situation was so difficult that there was almost no hope, so when the eight hired crossbowmen in the tavern demanded a high price, Zhu Peng hired them almost without bargaining.

1st level farmer, 2nd level mercenary sentry, 3rd level mercenary crossbowman.

Zhu Peng gave them more than six hundred dinars at one time, and gave them a high weekly salary, and the smile on the faces of the crossbowmen could be clearly seen in the dim corner of the tavern, and Zhu Peng hoped that they could still smile as happily as they did when they were carried to meet the Knights of the Riwache.

(not enough...... Not enough, not enough. Just these few people are not enough for Magali to swallow in one bite, there are too many differences, too many differences. ）
