Chapter 386: Enemy Omen
Luo Ming is called rich and capricious, if others know, maybe someone will say that he has too much money and is panicked.
This world also abides by the law of conservation of energy, and according to Aya, at least His Highness the Black Sun is not capable of violating this iron law.
Therefore, if Cangyan is used to transform spiritual power, then it will naturally consume other energy, and what Luo Ming chooses to consume is his own fighting energy.
Luo Ming doesn't know how to eat and drink, and he doesn't have the ability to photosynthesize, and the little energy in the air can only be said to be a small supplement for him now, so he basically relies on eating to replenish his energy.
In just this hour's practice, the magic of the two phoenix-tailed chickens has been burned - according to the market price, it can be converted into twenty gold coins, even if this chicken is raised by Luo Ming himself, it will be about fourteen gold coins at cost price.
And he has eaten 28 phoenix-tailed chickens in the past six months, and the cost price is almost 400 gold coins.
Unless there is some windfall, the income of an ordinary knight is only thirty or forty gold coins a year, and the income of a poor territory is even less.
Charlotte's entire Barony of Miana, the annual income is more than 600 gold coins, and all kinds of expenses have to be deducted, and there is really not much left.
Of course, if you take Luo Ming, a pervert whose fighting energy reserves are five times that of ordinary people, and Cang Yan's help, who can easily digest and absorb all the magic power and nutrients, it would be biased.
But Grant has also eaten twelve anchovies in the past six months—even twenty-five in a year, and after multiplying it by fourteen gold coins at the cost price, it gives a total of three hundred and fifty gold coins, or five hundred at market price—which the average baron's house can't afford to smash pots and sell iron.
All in all, if it weren't for Luo Ming's friendly assistance from the archmage, the increased production of food, and the various loot during this time, he would have gone bankrupt a long time ago, and it would not have been his turn to play with any wealth.
However, it is also about racing against time to increase your strength.
In fact, this money is still spent on himself, and it is not too extravagant to say that it is extravagant - there are not a few nobles who spend a lot of money to buy handicrafts, but this kind of spending money has increased his own strength.
Increasing strength can prolong life, which can be regarded as a healthy and upward way to continue life.
Login had a practice that was truly extravagant—after each of the most rigorous training of the soldiers, he would ask the cook to chop up a anchovy chicken, mix it with ordinary chicken and throw it into a pot of stew.
No matter how weak it is, the anchovy chicken is also a kind of magical beast, which can refine the energy in the food to form magic power and store it in the body.
But this method of chopping and stewing is no problem, although it will lose some nutrients and magic slightly, but the soldiers will be able to absorb it.
So far, there has not been a genius in the whole army who can quickly reach a high-level swordsman, but there are more than twenty people who have bred fighting spirit in their bodies.
At the beginning of the birth of Dou Qi, although it was only a trivial point, it was almost impossible to use it to enhance physical strength or relieve fatigue, but it was a good start - they can all be called intermediate swordsmen.
As long as the fighting spirit is stronger, you will be able to become the backbone of the army.
Although Luo Ming is familiar with the truth of power from the barrel of a gun, in this relatively peaceful era, there are still many people who think that he is reckless, or simply panicked with too much money.
However, when the catastrophe comes, or even any great war, it will be natural to distinguish who is wise and who is stupid.
Luo Ming's current army can be vertical and horizontal in the county, and it can naturally crush those messy feudal armies, but the level in the country can only be said to be middle and upper-class.
Compared with the elite standing army of the royal family, even if the number of both sides is the same, regardless of the participation of the strong, Luo Ming still has artillery to help, and most of them will be hung up and beaten.
The real elite is definitely not something that can be trained in half a year, at least two or three years of tempering, and at most it takes seven or eight years of preparation before it can be truly called an elite soldier.
Even in the history of the earth, there has never been a shortage of cold-weapon armies who dare to charge in the face of artillery fire.
There were several battles called meat grinders in World War I, which killed tens of thousands of people in a single day, and it seemed like a foolish death, but if there were no howitzers and new machine guns that could harvest dozens or hundreds of lives, such a charge would definitely be able to crush any enemy.
Granty also said that the Knights of the Radiant Blade have charged the doppelganger of the evil god on more than one occasion, and even forced it back...... Needless to say, that clone must be a demigod, and a single blow is better than the power of the cannon in Luo Ming's hand now, but the knights still charge forward one after another, and even the demigods have to avoid its sharpness.
Only such a real elite can rely on self-protection in the holy war and even the catastrophe, and it is necessary to invest a lot of money and time to train from now on.
While Luo Ming was thinking about these things, he was distracted and used his mental power to perceive the surroundings to exercise, and unconsciously, his acuity had improved a lot.
At this moment, he was keenly aware of a bit of an unusual aura.
Now Grant is still presiding over the formation of the Four Winds Department in the territory, except for Luo Ming, the only master who came here with the army is Lauder, and although Shears is stronger than ordinary soldiers, it is not in the category of masters.
Luo Ming immediately said to the big man who was practicing swords next to him: "Lauder, please help explore the mountains." ”
Then he sent the same instructions to the dog god...... It can't be said to be an instruction, although Luo Ming is obviously stronger than the other party, but it is not to the extent that he can command casually, and his tone is still relatively tactful.
The big dog was quite knowledgeable, and since he had expressed obedience to Luo Ming, he would not refuse this little thing now, so he nodded to Luo Ming's side, and immediately ran into the forest.
"You can't call it a dog god in the future, after all, it's just a false god worshipped by a few small tribes...... But does it have a name?"
Luo Ming stood up, moving his joints as he thought about the question.
He didn't have any worries about an enemy who might have approached.
With a relatively elite feudal army plus an advantage in firearms against the tribe, as long as there is no overwhelming difference in numbers, then what is there to be afraid of?
At the beginning of the founding of the United States, there were exchanges with the Indians, and that was also because the Indians obtained muskets, and later the American army used cannons to destroy the resistance of the Indians.
