Chapter X, the second task

Seeing that the girl on the other side had her hands tied behind her back, a rag in her mouth, and a frightened look in her eyes, Egil knew in an instant that the Viking warriors had clearly misunderstood somethingβ€”of course, the girl had clearly misunderstood something. In the same way, I also misunderstood something.

Of course, it's okay to make sure you don't get me wrongβ€”but at all, this girl's appearance index will rise by about 120 percent.

It's true that Egil had just drunk quite a bit. But he really doesn't have the surname of drunkenness, so although his body is shaky, his brain is abnormally clear.

"Anyway, you can't drink so much in the future...... Although the surrounding small tribes have been cleaned up, there is no need to think about security at all. But in the future...... You have to develop good habits...... And this group of Vikings, your sister can really drink...... Maybe it's because of the low content of this ale. ”

However, it was precisely because of the abnormally clear brain and the stimulation of alcohol that Egil thought a little more. And there is a slight disconnect between the body and the brain. Thinking about these things in his mind, his body involuntarily took a few steps forward and walked directly in front of the girl.

Seeing that the great enemy of the family and the clan wanted to come over step by step, the girl who was already imagining her future fate screamed in horror - of course, because her mouth was gagged, so she only made some "whine" sounds.

To be honest, Egil's length is not ugly, the sword eyebrows are upturned, the eagle eyes are slightly open, the bridge of the nose is firm, the lips are thin and narrow, the twisted braids of the previous Vikings have been torn apart, and the slightly messy shoulder-length hair covers the ears, and he has a proper face of a charming villain, but he has been evaluated by the system as a yin owl +2 brutal, but it is a little scary for some timid guys.

It's like the girl who is now tied with her hands tied behind the rope.

"Cut. Egil snorted, and then remembered that during the day, several Viking warriors had said that this woman was looking for her. He directly pulled out the innermost rag of the girl, took two steps back with an ambiguous smile, and sat opposite her.

"Don't you have something to ask me for, now you can talk about it. ”

The girl lives like a princess in her own tribe, and her father is a daughter like her, so he treats her quite well, plus she has a pretty good face, so she is still very attractive to some silly boys who have never seen the world. has been praised by this group of stunned young people for several years, and the girl also feels that she is a character, if not as good as Cleopatra, at least the level of the Roman princess Honoria.

So, sacrifice a little, for the sake of the tribe.

After coughing violently a few times, the girl "bravely" raised her head and looked directly at Egil "without fear". After that, I took a secret breath, and decided in my heart that it would be better to respect this guy a little.

"Excuse me, mighty leader, what has happened to my people after you conquered my tribe?" asked the maiden.

"Serfs, slaves, labor, population...... What do you think I should do. I rolled my eyes, wondering why this guy was saying such a thing.

"......" The girl gritted her teeth, "If you can treat my people equally." I am willing to obey you. ”

"What do you mean?" for a moment, Egil was a little unresponsive.

"That means that as long as you give her people equal treatment, she will agree to be with you, stupid. At this time, a slightly harsh voice of the system elf appeared.

"What are you kidding?!when I'm a fool?!" Egil couldn't help but shout.

β€œ......”

And so, for the first time in her life, the girl suffered a setback, and it was unprecedented, an extremely terrible setback, a fiasco, a complete defeat.

"Alright, you can get out now. After learning that the girl could not bring him any benefit at all, Egil had no interest in her, waved his hand, and then saw that the girl had not moved, and then remembered that the girl was tied - of course, Egil would never let her loose now, who knows if this woman had a dagger or something in her leggings, and it would be miserable to capsize in the gutter.

What's more, if you go out at this time, maybe you will be rumored by those damn Viking warriors that you have premature ejaculation or something.

Damn, it's just a system, what are you doing so realistically. If you get a surname with fertility difficulties because of this, it will be called a tragedy.

So, Egil lay on the ground like this, thinking about it in a broken way, thinking in his heart that he still had more than 3,000 bonds, and what should he exchange them for.

Well, the army? By the way, the first task also requires the expansion of the army to 2,000 men. How many people are there now?

Five teams of patrol cavalry, one team of tomahawk cavalry, adding up to three hundred cavalry.

Four teams of Viking infantry, two teams of Viking warriors, and one team of town militia, for a total of 1,100 melee infantry.

Two teams of crossbow-wielding militia, two teams of Norse archers, for a total of four hundred long-range infantry.

A team of generals led the guards, a total of twenty people.

The total number of soldiers is 1,820, which is still 180 short of the total of 2,000 soldiers, and the matter of two teams of soldiers - of course, the great urban management army of the town patrol is basically not attackable, and it can catch thieves and robbers or something. Expecting them to go to war is idiot's behavior.

And now the town barracks do not have many options, bow and arrow militia, crossbow militia, spear militia, patrol cavalry...... These scum with only five combat power that I wiped my tears from, is it possible that I want to take these things to conquer the world?

"Actually, it's nothing. How many regular armies do you think there were in the Middle Ages? Most of them were improvised conscripts, and some of them were even equipped with weapons and food. Even if you really conquer the world with militia, it's not something unacceptable. ”

β€œ...... What if you encounter a strong nomad?" asked Egil.

"Spread your hands. ”

"Spread your hands, your sister?!Do you dare to have some strong and noble regular army? 100,000 iron cavalry have wood? 1 million army has wood? 10 million reservists have wood?"

"Are you playing a game?

"Isn't this a game? Isn't this really a game?

β€œ...... See for yourself. List of buildings, barracks upgrades or something. ”

"Oh. ”

Therefore, although the system elf is very cheating, it really can't be done without her. After Egil opened the system interface, he saw such subtitles in the column of military politics and recruiting buildings.

City Barracks Upgrade column.

Town barracks, city barracks, small barracks, large barracks, Guards barracks. A total of five levels of barracks. There are also supporting facilities in the barracks, which are divided into horse, horse, melee, and long-range. The four parts, combined together, are four classifications: immediate melee, immediate range, horse melee, and horse range.

Melee weapons are further divided into two types: long pole and short arm. At the same time, it is divided into three castes: armor-piercing, blunt weapon, and sharp. It's like the axe that the Vikings loved to use, which had a dual caste of sharpness and armor-piercing, so it was extremely powerful and violent.

Of course, the forging technique is also very important, as if steel is definitely stronger than iron. In the 21st century, take a stainless steel kitchen knife to the Middle Ages, that is an authentic magic weapon.

The current forging technology is second-level, and it can be used to make traditional ancient armor such as chain mail, scale armor, and piercing armor.

Of course, it's better to be chainmail, especially double-layer chain mail, which has explosive defense and light weight. It is the best choice other than plate armor.

"So, now that I'm able to upgrade my armor shop and popularize chainmail on a large scale?" asked Egil the System Elf.

"But before you can do that, you'll need to find a steady supply of iron ore and build an armor workshop. ”

"Indeed...... In three days, it will be the end of the month. ”

"That's right. ”

"In two days, the agricultural facility I was going to build will be ready for production, right?"

"That's right. ”

"So, will those agricultural facilities be able to catch up with the tax revenue at the end of the month?"

β€œ...... Although, this is also a system bug, but it's true. ”

"Oh yes. ”

Flipping through the financial interface again, Egil was pleased to find that with the poll tax on the new population and the income from agricultural construction, he had another 4,000 gold coins left in addition to the soldiers' salaries. And in half a month, the city will be upgraded. When the time comes, you can build a lot more buildings, and upgrade to the city barracks, and recruit three classes: pikemen, Viking infantry, and Nordic archers.

But it's going to be a month from now......

A little bit can't wait.

And just when Egil wanted to talk to the system elves again and plan the future development of the territory, the girl who had been ignored for a long time suddenly gritted her teeth, and then said: "If you can agree to my conditions, I will tell you a secret." ”

"What's the secret?" asked Egil without blinking his eyes or turning his head, just lying beside him with his eyes closed.

"There is a secret about the dwarves in this mountain range - there is trade between my father and a dwarven tribe, and if you will promise me, then I will tell you about this trade route. ”

Just after the girl finished saying this, the system prompt sounded suddenly: "You have received a new task, please check." ”

Egil's heart moved, but he still didn't speak, and he controlled his mind and clicked on the system interface - the system interface is really convenient, no matter you open your eyes or close your eyes, you can see it.

Mission: Contact with the Dwarves, you heard the news that a people that had existed only in legends was suddenly heard by you - this may be a good opportunity, please seize it.

Objective: Make contact with any Dwarven tribe.

Reward: 1000 gold.
