Another thing that made Ye Tianlong frown was that in this town, except for those soldiers, the other civilians looked yellow and thin, and the clothes on their bodies were all tattered, and they knew that the survival situation was very bad at a glance.

Ye Tianlong probably knows why the people in this town are so poor, according to the chat he just had with the guard guarding the door, he learned that the population of this Odasang town is not large, only more than 2,000 people, but there are more than 100 soldiers, the key is that the background of the riding and slashing world is in the medieval period when the productivity is backward, and it is really extremely difficult for such a small town with no special products to support more than 100 soldiers.

In addition, after evolving into this relatively real world, each country does not have a very clear class tree like in the original game, but is roughly divided into three grades: militia, soldier and elite soldier according to their attributes and equipment level.

In the Nord kingdom, for example, the Nord Recruits, Nord Light Infantry, and Nord Hunters all belong to the Militia rank, the Nord Skilled Light Infantry, the Nord Warriors, and the Nord Archers belong to the Warrior rank, and the Nord Senior Archers, Nord Veteran Soldiers, and Nord Royal Guards belong to the Elite Warrior rank. The militia-level soldiers in this group can generally only be equipped with rudimentary leather armor and cloth armor, and the warrior level can be equipped with iron chain mail and piercing armor, as for the most powerful elite combat units, most of them are equipped with well-made composite armor, which is the top on the Calradia continent in terms of defensive power. For example, the hard leather armor commonly worn by the Nord royal guards is a layer of hardened thick leather armor on the surface and a layer of chain mail on the inside, which makes it have a stronger defense than ordinary armor.

Because the town of Odasan itself is very poor, and there are still a lot of pirates around, there are basically no caravans that will come here to trade, so the equipment level of the soldiers in Odasan town is very poor, so although the attributes of many soldiers have been improved well in training, but there are still more than 50 people who can only be equipped with simple leather armor and cloth armor, which belong to the militia level, and there are more than 30 soldiers in the case of soldiers, and there are only a pitiful dozen elite soldiers.

And the reason why such a poor town has to force so many soldiers is because the lord of this town, Baron Saul, is an ambitious new military nobleman, who is bent on making greater contributions to the war, obtaining higher titles and larger territories.

This Baron Thor, Ye Tianlong had never heard of it before when he was playing Riding and Slashing, so he guessed that this person was either too weak, so he became a passerby NPC who didn't even appear in the original game, or because the timeline he entered was a little wrong, and it was not the timeline at the beginning of the regular game, so this Baron Thor, which he hadn't heard of, appeared.

And for Ye Tianlong, the current situation is more favorable to him, after all, this Odasang town is so poor, that Baron Thor must be very short of money if he wants to expand his armament and war, he may have the opportunity to directly spend money to buy the land with a large amount of yellow wax stone storage, or even simply buy a knight title from the other party, and then directly establish a small village there as his future stronghold in this riding and slashing world. And after having his own territory, Ye Tianlong can also recruit soldiers here, in the process of chatting with the guard before, Ye Tianlong has learned that it is impossible for outsiders like him to recruit soldiers casually in the territory of those lords, after all, these young people of the right age are all good soldiers, and they are also an important resource for those lords, how can it be possible to let outsiders recruit them casually! So Ye Tianlong has to find a way to meet the Baron Thor next.

However, it is not easy to meet each other, after all, the other party is also a noble lord with his own territory, and it is impossible to be the same as in the game, players can directly enter the opponent's castle at any time and chat with these nobles face to face.

As a lord, there must be a lot of things to deal with every day, and it would be a bit outrageous if any cat or dog could sneak into the castle to annoy him.

After some inquiry, Ye Tianlong learned that Potts, the most important cronie of Baron Sol, happened to be collecting taxes in the town today, and if he could buy off the other party first, then there was a high probability that he could arrange to meet with Baron Sol.

When Ye Tianlong found the other party, the Potts housekeeper was leading a team of soldiers to collect taxes at a farmer's house, it seemed that because the farmer did not pay enough taxes, Napots was directing several soldiers to move some valuable materials from the farmer's house, and there was even a little ration left in the farmer's house.

Faced with this situation, the farmer and his wife had no choice but to crouch by the gate and watch in despair as the soldiers moved their belongings one by one.

When Guo Dafu saw this scene, he was also extremely sympathetic to the farmer, after all, not long ago, he was also a hard-working worker at the bottom of society, who was brutally oppressed and oppressed.

But now that the matter mattered, he could only temporarily put away the sympathy on his face, and instead put on a flattering smile, and tried to talk to the Potts butler.

However, this butler of Potts had a much bigger appetite than the guard, and Ye Tianlong gave the other party a full twenty silver coins, and he could not get the other party to promise to help him introduce him to Baron Sol.

So Ye Tianlong could only grit his teeth, took out several crystal clear glass beads, and stuffed them into the other party's hands.

"This is a bit of a specialty from my hometown Seris, I hope Potts Butler will like it!"

Hearing Ye Tianlong's words, the gray-haired, shrewd Potts housekeeper looked down at the glass beads in his palm, and his eyes finally showed a hint of brightness.

"Okay! For the sake of your boy's sincerity, I will arrange for you to meet when the Baron is free in the next few days! ”

Hearing that the other party finally agreed to his request, Ye Tianlong thought to himself that this glass bead was really good! Especially in this backward ancient background, where clear glass could not yet be made, this thing is as rare as a real gem!

And it seemed that because he had made a fortune from Ye Tianlong, the Potts butler was in a good mood, and motioned to the soldiers to stop, leaving the two chairs and a dilapidated wooden table in the farmer's house to each other, so that he would not really be in the four walls.

But the farmer and his wife, apparently not appreciating the kindness of the Potts steward, sat down by the gate without even saying a 'thank you'.

After the Potts butler had led the soldiers away, Ye Tianlong crept up to the farmer, threw a large bag of flour and a small bag of food in front of him, and then turned away without saying a word.

When the farmer saw that someone had suddenly thrown two packets of things in front of him, the two eyes that had been dead and silent finally moved, and turned his gaze to the two packets of things in front of him.

When Ye Tianlong had already walked more than ten meters away, the farmer raised his thin and yellow hands, stepped forward tremblingly, opened the big bag, and looked towards him.

And it was this glance that gave birth to a glimmer of hope in the farmer's originally desperate eyes, because the big bag contained all the fine flour as white as snow.

Surprised, he opened another pocket, and found that it contained the same delicate and snow-white salt, because he had never seen such snow-white salt, and the farmer couldn't even believe that this thing was salt for a while, until he dipped a few grains of salt with his fingers, put them in his mouth, and tasted the strong salty taste, he finally dared to confirm that this was indeed snowflake essence salt that even those nobles could hardly afford to eat!

When he was happy, the farmer wanted to thank the kind man who had left him this big bag of flour and a packet of salt.

It's a pity that at this time, Ye Tianlong, a kind-hearted person, had already merged into the flow of people, and he couldn't find it at all.

At this time, Ye Tianlong, while strolling around the dirty and narrow streets of Oudasang Town, kept scanning the shops on both sides, trying to find the merchant who sold horses, after all, what he was best at was riding and archery, and now the bow and arrow and heavy armor were ready, and what was missing was a good war horse.

As long as he has a good war horse, even if he encounters the kind of brigade of more than a dozen people, Ye Tianlong will dare to touch it.

After searching for a while, Ye Tianlong finally found the horse merchant in the corner of the town.

It's just that Ye Tianlong is a little disappointed that the other party doesn't have any very good war horses here at all, only a few traveling horses and pack horses.

These two horses are the most rubbish horses in the game of riding and chopping, and you can guess by looking at the name, the pack horse can only be used to carry some goods, because the running speed is too slow, and it is not suitable for use as a war horse at all.

As for the traveling horse, although the speed is a little faster than that of the pack horse, but the body is also very thin, both the defense and blood volume are very low, and it is still a bit reluctant to use it as a war horse, generally some non-professional riding infantry, will ride this thing to rush the way, really to the battlefield, or to dismount and fight, otherwise this crispy traveling horse, by a senior soldier like the Nord royal guard, can be cut down with an axe, don't expect to be able to ride it to impact the enemy formation.

At this time, Ye Tianlong thought that his birth place was in the territory of the Kugit Khanate! After all, as an all-cavalry country, the horses there can be said to be abundant and cheap, unlike this Nord Kingdom, almost all the resources are smashed on the trump card of the Nord royal guard, and there is not even a cavalry class in the national arms tree, so the domestic horses are extremely scarce and of extremely low quality.
