Chapter 8: The Viking Town Begins to Take Shape

The next war will be easier than the plunder war of the previous days. Because of the large number of deaths of young adults, and the strategy that Egil almost couldn't wait, he just rested for a day and then divided into seven routes and went out in full force. The seven small tribes around them all perished after the fall of the next day.

Over the next two days, the Viking warriors returned to Biard with large quantities of booty, prisoners of war, and livestock. In this way, it took a total of eight days, and the first mission objective, the destruction of the twelve surrounding Viking tribes, was completed. And the army has more or less gained a level of experience in continuous combat. Became a first-class veteran. Each increased morale a little. Frequency of attacks and coordinated combat capabilities.

At the same time, the tribal population reached 20,000, and this goal was achieved. Together, the twelve small tribes provided more than eighteen thousand prisoners of war for Biard. The women and children were also divided as booty, while a few young men were thrown into the villages outside and became serfs. Some of the older ones were put in the workshops of the city. And if you don't have any income, I'm sorry, continue to be a serf.

In this way, the population of the entire town of Biard exceeded 5,500 people, and the agricultural population exceeded 15,000.

The mission goal of 20,000 people was achieved.

The upgrade requirements of 5,000 people were met.

Well, a real city, this point, should begin.

"So, what is the standard of a real city?" asked Egil.

"It's a combined question. The system elf said: "Population, first of all, population, five thousand people, this is the most basic. ”

"What else?"

"A complete administrative system, including a town mayor, a treasurer, a tribune, and a judge. And then there were their deputies, which added up to a total of fifteen officers. ”

"Hmm...... Let's recruit this. ”

"That's right. One hundred gold coins for a full position and fifty gold coins for a deputy position. The surname or something is three-star. If you want to add more points, you have to add more money. ”

"It's okay, my brother recently made a windfall, and this little money brother can afford to pay. ”

"In addition to this, there are some supporting buildings - a lord's residence, a large town center, and a stone wall.

"Ale, stone walls, castles?"

"Well, if you want to build a castle, that's fine. ”

"Castle...... Forget it. The whole castle was dimly lit, with no light coming in, cobwebs and rats all over the floor, and the occasional kick out of a person's bones or something. It's still the eastern wall......"

"It's too early to think about that. ”

"Well, it's too early. But I really want to go to Constantinople to have a look - anyway, Byzantium is so strong, why did it end up hanging up?"

"You ask me, who do I ask?"

"Then don't think about it, how much do these things cost?"

"Three thousand gold coins for the lord's residence, two thousand gold coins for the large town center, and four thousand gold coins for the stone city wall. That's a total of 9,000 gold coins. ”

“...... It's expensive. Egil sighed slightly, but gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Very good, please be patient for a month. And then you're done. After the system elf finished saying this, it disappeared, and after that, the entire Biad was shrouded in a faint light, outside the city of Biard, the circle of crooked wooden fences was bulldozed little by little by countless invisible hands, and then, a large stone stacked neatly appeared out of thin air, glued together with glutinous rice lime juice, and a slightly thin city wall was built little by little.

Inside the city, the center of the town is shrouded in a pale white light, and the original building system is shattered little by little, and then wood, stone, and bricks also appear out of thin air. Start automatic building.

Next to the center of the town, a building in the Gothic style began to take shape, with a high tower top, oval glass windows, and a large number of reliefs depicting war scenes...... It looks a lot like that.

"A month. Really, do you want me to sleep on the streets for the rest of the time?" complained Egil. Look at the spare money with more than 5,000 gold coins on hand. I decided to build something more. It just so happened that a conversation with the system elves had made him a little interested in maritime trade. So, a dry dock, a commercial dock began to be built. Recruit a few more shipwrights, a few merchants, and four thousand gold coins will be spent at once. Egil was once again a pauper. Fortunately, in a few days, the basic farmland, mills, and livestock sheds outside the city were to be completed, and with the abundance of serfs, the agricultural tax was raised to 1,000 gold coins, and the poll tax was more than 1,300. Don't worry about not being able to pay military salaries.

However, in order to further develop, it is necessary to open up new sources of finance and taxation.

For example, maritime trade or something.

Spread your hands.

Biard's strength, now said to be high or not, said low or not, according to the system elves, upgraded to a small city, it has the strength of a county - of course, if it really fights, even if a few counts are added together on the European continent, it is not necessarily Biard's opponent.

However, compared to those big forces, it is still too weak.

The weak are to die.

Weak tragedy.

Not to mention anything else, Denmark, Sweden, England, which of these three forces does not like Egil, and sends an army of tens of thousands to come, they can pinch him to death like a bedbug.

Therefore, it is better to be a little low-key. Just recently, the Grand Duke of Norway hung the point. The various tribes of Norway are fighting each other, which is an opportunity, and after unifying the whole of Norway and being crowned the king of Norway, Egil will have the ability to compete with these big forces.

"So, for Mao's dry dockyard I can only build dragon-headed battleships?!Aren't you cheating on you?!" Egir complained as he looked at the form on the recruitment list.

"Well, what's wrong with the Dragon's Head Battleship? The Dragon's Head Battleship is very good, the Vikings are going to use axes, the Vikings are going to be pirates, the Vikings are going to open the Dragon's Head Battleship - this is the Viking mouth. ”

“...... I won't talk about the steam ironclads - but I'll build me a big sailboat or two!"

"The technical conditions are not enough. ”

"Eh, what kind of technical conditions?"

"Haven't you been looking at the legendary system interface - including the taskbar, maps, building templates, city list, army list, affairs officer list and technology list, diplomatic list, etc...... Haven't you even seen it?"

"Some have seen it, some have ...... Hehehehehe......"

"It's really a defeat for you. Now hurry up and open it. ”

"Oh. ”

After that, Egil opened the entire system interface and decisively found a bunch of selection buttons on it. There is indeed a tech button.

After that, the whole interface is divided into two aspects: military and civilian.

So the military.

The military side is further divided into army and navy.

......

It's really finely divided.

Navy. When I finally arrived, I watched as I walked towards the barracks—anyway, the twenty knights of the guards next to me watched it, and there was no one who didn't know each other. During this period of time, the knights of the guards were promoted to a level after these days of fighting, and Egil was very unscrupulous to give the two promotion opportunities rewarded by the task to the generals. Therefore, the Guard Knight has reached three points of experience, which increases morale by three points, and also increases the character's attack power by a point, as well as a defense skill. The strength has become stronger.

The Navy, at present, can manufacture two types of warships, small transport ships, small fishing boats, and small merchant ships. And the ranged attack capability is close to zero.

However, the shipyard level is quite high, and the technology of the dry dock can be said to be the highest level in the whole of Europe.

Further down are the three options of large boats, medium boats, and small boats.

Really......

Large ships.

The legendary 10,000-ton fortune ship (in fact, a transport ship + merchant ship, the combat efficiency is not high, but it is really bluffing).

...... I can't afford it.

The legendary super-first class ship (four decks with wood, more than 100 guns with wood, displacement of 6,000 tons, three masts, soft sails, the strongest in the era of sail warships, a well-deserved sea fortress, there are only three such ships in the world!).

...... I can't afford it.

Next, the first class ship, the second class ship, the third class ship, the Roman ship of the head officer, the oar-sail dual-purpose ship, the heavy ballista battleship, the 2,000-ship ship, the ship giant, the warship......

Well, let's look at medium-sized ships again.

Ships of the fourth rank (representatives of medium ships, fifty-four light guns, two decks. He was the one who scared the Qing Dynasty court back then. There are more than 200 sailors and sailors, with strong combat effectiveness and very good overall quality).

......

Egil suddenly felt that he didn't want to say anything.

Tier 5 ships (faster, less attacked, and not less combative, they can bully the opponent's low-tier ships, and they can also be used as the vanguard of the main fleet).

Then I didn't want to say anything.

Then the loach warship (the secret weapon of the legendary Song Dynasty, equipped with the legendary waterwheel, the bionic hull, the sea bicycle is very fast, and the speed is very fast. The combat effectiveness is very strong. )

Well...... This seems to be a good one.

So Egil memorized it. Let's look at the construction conditions, requirements, wood, canvas, ship equipment, shipbuilding technology to reach level 5, mechanical technology to reach level 5.

...... Well, basic science and technology, now the power ship-building technology is level 1, and mechanical technology is level 2.

This one...... This and this......

Forget it, let's read on.

Hawk gunboats, Arabian dnaries, house ships, tortoiseshell ships......

"Sure enough, people should be down-to-earth. ”

So Egil comforted himself in this way.

Ultimately, small warships

Sixth-class ships (the most comprehensive quality among small warships, loaded with sixteen guns, one deck, fast, strong in command, but weak in firepower. )

Artillery or something......

Egil suddenly felt like complaining.

Mortar gunboats.

Don't look at it.

Rocket boats.

Don't look at it.

Chinese dragon boats.

...... This one seems to have the same effect as the Viking Dragon Head Battleship? And this one is for inland navigation. Is it okay to put it in the sea?

Greek Fire Battleship (a strange light warship in the Middle Ages, equipped with the Byzantine ultimate secret weapon Greek Fire, the King of the Medieval Mediterranean!

......

Mud horse pit daddy.

Eventually, though, Egil found what he needed and a battleship that he should be able to use in the near future.

Light ballista battleship (equipped with a scorpion crossbow in the bow, carrying 50 sailors and sailors, the upper and lower decks can be far or near. Requirements, Ship Building Level 2, Mechanical Technology Level 2, Ranged Weapon Scorpion Crossbow)

With a "snap", Egil slapped his thigh: "That's it—what is the Scorpion Crossbow?"

"Army technology, check it yourself!"
