Fifty heavily armed soldiers cost Zhang Li at least more than nine hundred gold, not counting his salary.

In Azeroth, you don't want to wear a plate armor, you must have at least a chain mail, right? You have a chain mail, and you need to have a weapon shield, right? At least you need a short sword and a wooden shield to keep you from being at a loss in close combat.

As a visitor from the earth, Zhang Li naturally prefers thermal weapons, and cannot be equipped with semi-automatic rifles, and a flintlock pistol should be at least satisfied.

Together, the cost of a person is at least seventeen or eighteen gold.

Ten gold is enough for an ordinary family of three to live without food and clothing for four or five years, ordinary lords, unless the territory is located on the edge, and the lord who has to fight with foreign races all the year round, is absolutely reluctant to spend ten gold on an ordinary soldier, if you only buy ordinary copper equipment, one gold is enough, not to mention anything else, just melt the copper coins, 10,000 copper coins are enough to make a body, it may be more than enough.

Although Zhang Li's territory is located in the center of the Storm Kingdom, Zhang Li, who is familiar with the future, will naturally not buckle the rope in this regard, so he will spend the seventeen or eighteen gold.

Fifty soldiers in steel chain mail strode out of Stormwind City, they carried iron-clad shields and broad-bladed steel swords, each carrying a flintlock pistol, their footsteps were uniform, each time stepping on a point, fifty people were stunned to walk out of the momentum of hundreds of people, which was really eye-catching.

Many people are inquiring about the situation of this group of soldiers, seeing that they do not have the lion head emblem of the royal family Ureon, this should not be the Kingdom Guard, and why did such a group of soldiers who are not the Kingdom Army appear in Stormwind City?

In fact, those garrisons knew very well the number of these people, because when Zhang Li trained them, he borrowed a place to train them in the garrison's camp.

Therefore, the garrison soldiers are very aware of the situation of these people, and know that they are only bright on the surface and look very good, but in fact, half a month ago, most of them couldn't even hold a sword, and they were a group of pure recruits.

And it's a recruit egg that people envy and hate.

In view of Zhang Li's controversial pension policy for the victims, there are no people who do not envy this group of lucky people who have joined the army, and most of the people who come out to serve in the army, except for those subjects who have to serve in the military and the lonely widows who feed their families without starving, which one is not to earn food for their families? But the income from being a soldier is high and the danger is high, if you die within a few months, how can the orphans and widows who are left at home live?

That's why this group of people would be so enviable, that they don't know how long the benevolent new baron will be able to carry out this policy, and it would be ridiculous to regret it if he didn't stick to it for a few years.

By the way, most of the people who have seen Zhang Li's training are ridiculous about his training methods, and they have never seen a soldier who stands in a military posture all day long, so that the trained soldiers can have actual combat ability?

Azeroth is an era dominated by cold weapons, but also a fantasy world, the trees here are not at all comparable to those ordinary trees on the earth, many wood is moistened by all kinds of energy shadows all year round, its material is not weaker than steel at all, using this kind of wood to make bows and crossbows, the power is even more amazing, and some bows and arrows are even made of special metals, which is even extraordinary.

Here, a slightly better bow can throw off an ordinary flintlock pistol for a few streets, and the only problem is that it is difficult to train a qualified archer, and the commander is reluctant to waste arrows on the battlefield without a few years of training.

Coupled with the fact that the gun is too squeamish, easy to misfire, easy to break when wet, bullets are too expensive, and there is a risk of exploding, etc., most of the soldiers here are training how to use swords and spears.

The so-called ten years of grinding a sword, the real sword master can pounce on the sword for a lifetime, and the sword is really out of the sheath, unpredictable.

Ordinary soldiers naturally don't need to do this, but they have to train for a year and a half before they can be used.

According to Zhang Li, the sword is practiced in a fool's hands, and the main effort is spent on that musket, which is completely what only laymen can do.

Marcus, the commander of the garrison, saw that Zhang Li didn't understand the Azeroth-style training method at all, and kindly proposed that Zhang Li let his people train with the garrison first, but Zhang Li refused, and he had a lot of reasons, and in the end Marcus no longer insisted.

He felt that as long as Zhang Li suffered a loss on the battlefield, he would naturally understand that such a practice would not work.

"Boss, how long are we going to go?" asked the gnome piloting his mech.

This gnome is the funny one who came out of the arena, his name is Judd, and according to him, he is an engineer who is inspired to make the most perfect mecha in the world.

However, his recent goal is not to make a mecha, and the current problem that plagues him comes from the top of his head, which is this half-bald head, I don't know when he began to lose his hair, and the more he loses it, the more he loses it.

The bushy show that he used to be proud of found that he couldn't hold his head up in front of the female dwarf at all, so he had been racking his brains lately to figure out how to grow hair.

It was a study that had nothing to do with engineering, and because he began to study these haves and don'ts, he wasted the money provided by the Dwarf Academy on personal and meaningless things, and he was expelled from the academy and lost a lot of money.

Penniless, he can't even continue his previous mecha research, but this guy is a tendon, after being expelled, instead of giving up the dream of hair growth, he has intensified, but he has no money, and the most important thing in research is money, so he was tempted by the five thousand gold.

"Soon, according to the information I have received, it will be about half an hour to reach that bandit den. Zhang Li held a very fine map and kept identifying the direction.

"That's great, after walking for so long, the energy of my mecha is almost exhausted, although there is still spare energy, but these energy sources are very precious, it costs at least fifty gold to make one, I am not reluctant to spend this fifty gold for you, but you know, I ...... Always poor......"

"I see, all this energy consumption is counted in my account. ”

"Oh, you're so generous. ”

Ignoring this living treasure, Zhang Li began to think about the information he had gathered about this gang of robbers during this time.

Due to the Stormwind Kingdom's poor supervision of the black households, there is a very rampant Defia gang near Stormwind City, you don't want to catch them, because they never act on a large scale, and when they encounter danger, they will burrow into the crowd, and you will not be able to distinguish anything at that time.

It can be said that they are very much a headache for the garrison, and they are cunning, even if you catch one of their members and torture the location of the den, you will find that people have gone to the empty building when you get there.

Zhang Li didn't know if there was anyone in this den in his territory now, and whether he would be in vain this time.
