After two days and three nights of looting -- I mean the suppression of the rebellion and the restoration of law and order, the whole of Bergen has become dead - I mean a quiet and peaceful atmosphere has been restored.

After that, a tax collector, a tribune, a mayor and a judge, and their attendants, plus two groups of town patrols totaling four hundred men. The management base of the city of Bergen was also completed.

At this point, a large area of north-central Norway was, at least nominally, subject to Egil's rule. But what those messy aristocrats think in their hearts, it is unknown.

Overall, though, Egil's gains were greater than his gains, and he gained nearly 10,000 gold coins and more than 2,000 serfs in this robbery, a dilapidated city that had been incorporated into the system.

Bergen.

In other words, you can change the name of the city to suit your taste anytime and anywhere. "The system sprite is not an actual reminder.

"Flavors? It must be strawberry - what do you want in your sister's city?" It's okay to keep it as it is, it's like a pagan idiot who changed Constantinople to Istanbul, and one by one they all go to the Black Sea!"

"Forget it, besides, this city is very dilapidated, you should build it anyway. ”

"Eh, this kind of thing that is broken to a certain extent is also a city in the system evaluation?!"

"That's right. ”

"It took months of hard work for labor and management to build a city—your sister's pit father. ”

"Cut, you don't look at what kind of city you are, what kind of city is this. ”

"Yes. ”

Egil nodded, thinking in his heart, although the city is located in the interior of Norway, but occasionally there are a few small bandit groups, rogues, or some people who are born with more developed brains and like to surprise the enemy troops behind the enemy's rear...... Therefore, defense is still more important.

"Well, the city walls, the barracks, the paved stone roads. These must be built - the layout of the city is modeled after Biard, the sewer system, the garbage disposal system, the wells and so on must be built as soon as possible, taverns, inns, the city center - the lord's mansion cannot be built because it is not the capital, then forget it. The basic agricultural system is built, and then directly upgraded to crop rotation, livestock pens, mills, bakeries and vegetable gardens are also built...... Well, it's inland, so you can't go out to sea to fish, so you can build some more fish ponds. That's it. ”

"A total of 47,000 gold coins, thanks to your patronage. The system elf said.

Come on, all of a sudden, more than half of the money Egil had accumulated some time ago disappeared in an instant. He lamented at the sight.

"But then again, I've accumulated a lot of bonds over time. Egil asked.

"That's right, a total of thirty-seven thousand two hundred and fifty-eight points, and that's after you exchanged bonds for researchers a few days ago. Anyway, you've been killing people a lot lately, so please keep up the hard work. ”

Ignoring the system elf's words of "keep up the good work", Egil thought for a moment and wanted to exchange something for himself: "Well, what should I exchange for some...... Forget it, expand my general's guard to fifty people. After that, two more research institutes were built in the barracks in Bergen - also to be built underneath. One of them recruits two armor craftsmen and an alchemist, and the other recruits three philosophers. ”

"Ten such high-profile generals and guards cost 2,000 bonds, and expanding to 50 people will cost 6,000 bonds--besides, you don't want them to go into battle to kill the enemy, what are you spending so much money on expanding this?"

"You want to take care of it?!" replied Egil.

"And technology...... Well, it looks like you're going to explode three tech streams. It's still the same as before, it costs 500 bonds to recruit a basic researcher, and if you want to recruit six, you need 3,000 bonds. Do you need to strengthen these scientists?"

"Hmm...... Can I continue to give them enhanced castes after I've redeemed them?" asked Egil.

"Yes, as long as you have money and some coupons, the system is still very amiable. ”

“...... If you don't have money or bonds, you're going to eat people?"

"Who knows...... Speaking of human flesh, I really haven't tasted it yet. ”

"You really want to eat people when I wipe my tears?!"

So this section of the system will eat people or something, please ignore it, and then Egil calmed down, and then ordered:

"The two armor craftsmen, after the construction is completed, they will study the armor improvement for me. At any rate, we must get the plate armor out -- the philosopher will study the improvement of society, and at the worst, we must also study the division of labor and cooperation. ”

"We're going to have to wait a little bit for that. The system elf said.

"It's okay, I can afford to wait. ”

"Also, in that scientific research institute in Biard, you can start researching bow and arrow improvements. Anyway, we have to talk about the manufacture of compound bows. ”

"It's a little bit faster, about three months. ”

After arranging these things, Egil was concerned about the road situation again. As he had already learned from his previous experience in construction, building roads in the city was only connecting the city with some villages on the outskirts of the city. If it is necessary to build roads to connect the two cities, there will be other ways to do so.

"So. Calculated by distance, it took 30,000 gold coins to build a paved road from Biard to Bergen and three months. The system elf said.

At this moment, the remaining gold coins in Egil's hand were not enough. I had no choice but to exchange some more bonds, and I scraped together enough 30,000 gold coins to build.

"Don't worry, after building roads between cities, there will be a trade bonus. Collect business taxes, collect the capital for a few years, and it will come back. ”

"A few years ......," Egil lamented, "what a long time." ”

"It's not a long time. Now your theoretical lifespan is unlimited. As long as you redeem enough bonds, you can extend your life indefinitely. ”

"That's ...... said" Egil was a little helpless, maybe in the future, his family will have a big business, and he can consider exchanging bonds for life. But now, when I started my career, I only feel that my life span is shortening...... And it's a super loan shark that pays 10 - plus the inflation that the legend has not yet encountered...... The future is worrying.

It takes so much effort to unify a small Nordic country, so how much time does it take to unify the whole of Northern Europe? How much time does it take to unify the whole of Europe? Rush out of Europe and into the world...... How much time does it take?

Egil felt that he might not be able to wait for that day.

"Forget it, don't think about things that far away. At that time, Timur was lame, and he was still lame, and he thought about continuing to push to the east. It's better to borrow a little from the spirit of that cripple. Egil comforted himself. At the same time, it was planned to draw the army out tomorrow and go south to join Oslo. Felix II, the current lord of Oslo, is much older than Olaf IV, who "disappeared in the flames of war and disappeared without a trace", and is exactly fourteen years old this year. Because the situation in Oslo is slightly better than in Bergen. The army, the people's morale, or something...... I guess I can make up an army of about 10,000 after all.

Coupled with the repeated battles of the nobles on their own territory, now is the time to recuperate. Cannon fodder or nothing can be used, and with more than 6,000 men under Egil's command alone, even though they are all regular troops, they will definitely win if they fight hard. But it's still a lot of pressure, bastard!

After the capture of Bergen and the expansion of the territory again, the regular army under Egil also expanded again. The number of people who can officially fight (not counting the town patrols who are cheating) has reached more than 6,000

There were two teams of 500 Viking warriors, a total of 1,000 people, dressed in heavy chain mail, horned helmets, and armed with tomahawk round shields. Carrying three axes. He is the first good hand under Egil to charge into battle and cut people.

Six teams of Viking infantry, also a team of 500 people, a total of 3,000 men, were almost the same except for the chain mail on their bodies, which was not as thick as that of the Viking warriors—of course, the discipline and morale, and the level of training were not as high as those of the Viking warriors. It is the backbone of Egil's army.

Ranged troops,Upgraded crossbow militia with leather armor,A team of two hundred,A total of three teams,Six hundred,The attack power of the medium-sized crossbow in the hand is very good.,But the winding time is a little longer.,And the melee ability is almost scum.。 The actual combat effectiveness is relatively low. It was Egil's choice in desperation.

The Norse archers, upgraded with light chain mail, equipped with round shield hand axes - at first glance they look similar to Viking warriors, except that the horned helmet with the surname has been replaced by a pot helmet, and the morale is slightly inferior. Speaking of which, this thing is better called an infantry with a bow and arrows than an archer. If you want to recruit stronger ranged troops, you have to wait until the compound bow is researched.

Even so, the Norse archers also have the word "archer", and it is still possible to stand on the wall and shoot down. So, among the city defense troops of Biard, there were also two teams of Nordic archers with a total of four hundred people.

Among Egil's main forces, the number of Nordic archers was even larger, with four teams of eight hundred men.

Next, the cavalry units - after seeing the hoplites charging with their guns in their hands, Egil decisively improved his Tomahawk cavalry - and now, in addition to the original equipment, the Tomahawk cavalry has added a cavalry lance, and the horses are also covered with heavy linen blankets that can resist stray arrows to a certain extent and reduce damage. And the armor has also been further enhanced, with heavy chain mail and a dark blue burqa, which looks quite handsome. And the actual combat effectiveness should also exceed that of ordinary knights.

Improved tomahawk cavalry, a team of 100 people, a total of two teams of 200 people.

The patrol cavalry was still the same as before—originally Egil had thought of adding high-end equipment such as the horned bow and sber to the patrol cavalry. But these guys are really rotten wood - and maybe they have something to do with the Viking race. If you want to recruit stronger light cavalry, it looks like you're going to have to look for another opportunity.

Patrol cavalry, a team of a hundred, a total of five teams of five hundred.

After that, there is the special class, the Battlefield Order of 50 people. Egil was ruthless again and recruited two teams. It adds up to a total of two hundred people.

The whole of Beatard Bergen, the army that called itself the Army of Northern Norway, together amounted to four thousand melee infantry, one thousand fourteen hundred projectile infantry, seven hundred cavalry, two hundred special arms, and fifty generals leading the guards, for a total of six thousand three hundred and fifty men......
