Chapter Twenty-Seven: A New Discovery—The Crystal Ladybug

Victory!

In the end, Zhang Sheng also failed to grab Lu Qing's head, Lu Qing was buried by a group of "zombie soldiers", and there were nearly 100 soldiers in the siege circle, and the white pole soldiers trained by Qin Liangyu could fight to the death without retreating.

With the death of Lü Qing in battle, the rebels' fighting spirit collapsed, gave up resistance, and surrendered.

In the last count, as the defender, Lingshi Fort directly killed nearly five hundred, half of which were white pole soldiers, eight hundred were seriously injured, and there were not many minor injuries, and the terrain of street fighting was special, and it was difficult for the soldiers on the front line to retreat even if they were injured. Among the seriously injured soldiers were disabled with broken hands and feet, and even if they could be saved, they could only withdraw from the battle sequence.

Even if he did not directly distribute money, food, living materials, and promotions, it was impossible for Zhang Sheng, who lacked the population, to pay slaves like the rebels.

Due to their remoteness from the country and the lack of a trade system, the expeditionary lord was more like a slave owner's model, and the lord was like the lord's private property, and all the output of labor belonged to the lord, and the lord was responsible for feeding everyone. This would continue until the lord built the city, and when the realm had grown to the city level, there was enough population base for the lord to survive on taxes and servitude.

In order to improve the morale of the army, Zhang Sheng could take out a batch of land in advance as a reward, but the population structure of the expeditionary force was different from that in China, and many soldiers' families could not allocate manpower to cultivate, so they could only use the output of land as a reward.

The biggest gain in this battle is the prisoners of war, the lowest is also the fourth-order soldiers, as well as the guards who have been divided, and eighty people survived. The reason why these guards are so hard is because Lu Qing has spent a lot of money on their equipment.

[Class]: Garrison

[Combat Power Rating]: Eighth Order

[Attack]: B

[Defense]: A

[Speed]: C

[Will]: A

[Trait 1]: Physical Fitness Enhancement - Physical Fitness is increased by 15%, and Endurance is +10% more.

[Trait 2]: Heavy Armament - Equipped Heavy Armor Effect +25%.

[Characteristic 3]: Aura Arrow - Mobilize Aura to form an arrow that causes a Spiritual Explosion impact to a certain area.

[Trait 4]: United as one - strengthen your physical fitness with the glow of will, strengthen your will defense, and use the will of the legion to attract aura to build a solid aura wall. The greater the number of soldiers, the higher the strength of will, and the stronger the effect. (At least 3,000 Warrior Guards or Divine Guards are required to activate with a unified will)

[Equipment]: Expeditionary Guardian Heavy Armor, Mountain Wall Shield, Bull Crossbow

It is not difficult to see from the attributes of the class that once the [United as One] is activated, the military guard will become an all-round class, relying on strong physical fitness and will, in addition to not being able to fly, it can cover strikes from a distance, and the melee can directly use the shield to cause terrifying blunt damage, and the speed will be far faster than the heavy infantry, and the attacks that can threaten them are even rarer.

But these eighty military guards in Zhang Sheng's hands are far less effective than imagined, and the biggest problem is that there is no way to replenish troops, and they can also activate the [United as One] as the core of the tactics, so they can only be used as heavy infantry, or use the [Spiritual Qi Arrow] to fight a wave of outbreaks.

For the characteristic of [Aura Arrow], Zhang Sheng was extremely red-eyed, but how he practiced it, he didn't know, if he wanted to fight his face, he needed to at least have the third characteristic of the class before it could appear.

It is easier for the expeditionary force to train generals with the first-hand resources of the land of divine power erosion, and some divine resources can directly refine the elixir that improves [force], and it is very difficult to mass-produce super-first-class generals, but it is very easy to produce first-class generals, and the key to the combat effectiveness of these quick-quality products still depends on the talent attributes.

Therefore, in the commander and general of the expeditionary force exceeded 1 to 20, most of the rebels were first-class generals, just like Lu Qing's forces, there was no commander who could mobilize the power of the army, and the blow of the [Spiritual Qi Arrow] was still quite deterrent.

It's just that the food of these eighty military guards is a little troublesome, so Gao You can only work hard, even if it is a pile of ingredients, he must keep it as much as possible.

It was inevitable that the prisoners of war would be counted, including those guarding the temporary camps, 2,200 in all, and some of them would eventually flee into the mountains and forests. The people of Jiaolong Village were imprisoned in a temporary camp, but after the war, they were rescued, and the food in the camp was also taken from Jiaolong Village.

There were wails in the Spirit Stone Castle, and all the witch doctors and pharmacists were doing their best to treat the injured, but fortunately, Lu Qing had stockpiled a lot of wound medicine before him. Qin Liangyu continued to integrate the army, inventory of armaments, after receiving this batch of soldiers, the overall combat effectiveness of the army has been greatly improved, and then as long as the morale of the army is appeased, strengthen training, the combat power can be steadily improved.

The real headache is still Zhang Sheng!

Grain and grass! Grain and grass! Under the exaggerated military-civilian ratio, the logistics of the territory are close to collapse.

Before Qin Liangyu completed the training, Zhang Sheng could only focus on Lingshi Fort, and Xue Zhong had already been sent back to Jiaolong Village by him to mobilize the remaining food, but it was still far from enough. The expeditionary force caravan doesn't know when it will arrive, and there is no hurry to farm, and the only one that can produce a large amount of food stably is Jiaolong Lake, but at the moment he is still facing the threat of Ruan Liangyu, to defend Lingshi Fort and Jiaolong Village, not only is the strength dwarfed, but the shortage of generals is also a problem that cannot be ignored.

Xue Zhong is old after all, and he is disabled, and the most suitable job for him is to herd black beasts or train new soldiers.

"My lord, the rebels' temporary camp has been demolished, and the gap in the outer wall is being repaired."

"The food is still enough for a month, but there is a big gap in military rations with a quality of more than 6, and high-quality ingredients are consumed too quickly."

After a busy day, after taking stock and summarizing all aspects, all the questions were placed in front of Zhang Sheng.

After this reorganization of the army, the number of troops in Lingshi Fort is bound to exceed 6,000, and it is not a problem to transfer the spear-based troops to white-pole soldiers, and the number of white-pole soldiers to reach 3,000.

But to raise these soldiers, the problem is big!

He doesn't have a master chef, and if he wants to make a military ration of quality 6, the requirements for ingredients are high. There is no shortage of high-quality ingredients in the mountains and forests, but the randomness is too great, and the huge manpower required for the search is unacceptable to Zhang Sheng.

Even Zhang Sheng was thinking about whether to play the previous trick again, first pull the army back to Jiaolong Village, temporarily cede Lingshi Fort to Ruan Liangyu, and wait for Qin Liangyu to complete the whole army before killing it back, and catch turtles in the urn.

But no matter how you think about it, the other party can't be stupid to this extent, if the rebels chase him and put the battlefield in Jiaolong Village, it will be very uncomfortable.

"My lord, the north side of Lingshi Fort can be changed to a mulberry field, if you hurry up now, you can harvest a batch of mulberry leaves later." Zhuang Ye began to report on the next item.

Now that they are no longer rebels, naturally there is no need to circulate, with Bai Xiaoniang here, planting mulberry is undoubtedly a profitable business. Planting mulberry is also simple, with cuttings of branches, it can be produced in that year.

"Yes, take cuttings first, silkworm seeds, etc., and then the expeditionary caravan will come and buy them."

If there are no silkworm farmers, it is more reliable to buy silkworm seeds directly from the caravan, and if you want to further optimize the silkworm seeds, you can only wait for the corresponding talents.

At this time, Meng An, who was preparing to breed poisonous insects in the mine, came to the door.

"My lord, I found a very interesting spirit worm in the mine." Meng An opened his palms like offering treasures, and two translucent insects smaller than the tips of his little fingers slowly crawled in his palms.

It's beautiful, like a little crystal.

Crystal Ladybug (Spirit) - A spirit insect that feeds on crystals, and its excrement has an aura attribute.

Except for a few, the value of crystals is very limited, even as jewelry, it is difficult to reach the level of luxury. Crystal mines are often accompanied by spirit stone mines, and in terms of output, it may be more accurate to identify spirit stones as associated mines of crystals.

As long as it is accompanied by aura attributes, it has a certain value, and no matter how bad it is, it is stronger than white crystal! Zhang Sheng is now a little demonic, and he can't wait for these spirit insects to pull out the ingredients.

"How?" Converting useless white crystals into aura materials, no matter what the conversion rate is, is a sure win, the key is the quantity, if the quantity is too small, it will not be able to form an industry.

"Not much, but I can try to cultivate it."

"It's okay, try to see if you can optimize it further, anyway, the crystal is not worth much."

Poisonous insects are raised, spirit insects are also raised, Meng An's ability allows him to try to draw cards, and gamble on a hand by inducing mutation, no matter whether it is good or bad after mutation, anyway, it is a spelling chance, maybe he can make some bugs with special functions.
