Chapter Ninety-Nine: Sent to the Viscount by Gift
Above the senior private, there are non-commissioned officers, which are divided into three classes, namely corporal, sergeant and sergeant. The number of kills is ten, twenty, and fifty or more, respectively. The feathers on his head will be changed to yellow when he becomes a non-commissioned officer, except that the sergeant has only one feather, the sergeant has two, and the sergeant has three.
As for the captains at the top, they already belong to the middle level of officers, and they can at least command a team of 100 people, so the requirements are not only the number of kills, but also a certain amount of cultural knowledge and how to command the troops to fight, rather than just knowing the courage of a horseman, rushing up and cutting people alone, and leaving all the soldiers behind.
The feathers on the captain's helmet will be replaced with a cyan one, and like the non-commissioned officer, the second lieutenant officer has one, the lieutenant officer has two, and the upper officer has three feathers.
Above the lieutenant is the colonel, and the feather color is changed to blue, and it is otherwise the same as the lieutenant. As for the highest general-rank officer, the feather color will be changed to purple.
Because the various systems of the army are only in the initial stage, the officers under Ye Tianlong's command are now at the highest level of captain, but don't underestimate the captains of this district, they are also able to command five hundred-man teams. And the total number of troops under Ye Tianlong's command now is only more than 1,600 people. The troops that a captain can lead are close to one-third of Ye Tianlong's total number of troops now.
To be honest, Ye Tianlong originally wanted to design the feathers on the top of the captain's helmet to be green, but most people seemed to be very disgusted by this color, especially when this thing still had to be worn on the head. After all, this normal man, who wants to wear a little green on his head!
In the end, under the strong protest of everyone, Ye Tianlong finally changed his color to cyan.
During the construction of equipment, Ye Tianlong did not relax the training of the troops, after all, although most of the people who joined the army this time were some enemy prisoners and mercenaries with sufficient combat experience, they did not necessarily know how to use thermal weapons to fight, so it was necessary to let these new soldiers and the veterans in the army have a good run-in.
In addition, Ye Tianlong also began to buy various gifts from reality to give to King Ragnar to improve his friendship with the other party.
The most exaggerated time is that Ye Tianlong gave the other party a giant photo that can 'move', this giant photo that is more than one person tall can be seen from different angles, you can see the different postures of His Majesty the King wielding a giant axe to kill the enemy, which perfectly shows his courage and strength.
King Ragnar was also very pleased with this vivid 'portrait', and hung it directly in his banquet hall, so that those who visited him later could have a good view of his heroic appearance.
And those old nobles were very disgusted with Ye Tianlong's behavior of giving gifts to His Majesty the King at every turn, and some even suggested directly to King Ragnar to take back Ye Tianlong's baronial title, because they were ashamed to be in the company of such a sloppy villain.
Ye Tianlong didn't expect that he would be said to be a villain who was smuggling a horse when he gave some gifts, and even felt that he was not qualified to become a nobleman.
To be honest, he'd always done this to Viscount Thor before! This time, it was also regarded as a daily task, and I gave some gifts to King Ragnar as usual, and I went to brush up my favorability!
Just when Ye Tianlong was thinking about how to wash off the label of a courtier on his body, King Ragnar suddenly sent someone over to announce that his title had been promoted from baron to viscount, although there was no other reward, and there was no increase in his territory or anything, but this was definitely a surprise for Ye Tianlong.
It's just that this matter is not so friendly to the big nobles who have been deliberately slandering him before, and it can even be called murderous! It can only be said that King Ragnar can play, don't you like to attack Ye Tianlong is a villain who smuggles his beard! Then I'm going to promote such a villain and you off a bunch of old guys.
In order to thank King Ragnar for directly promoting him to viscount, Ye Tianlong specially told Murong Jie to tailor a set of full-body steel plate armor and a two-handed battle axe for His Majesty the King, the plate armor had to be carved with a beautiful lion pattern, and depicted with gold lacquer, and finally inlaid with a bunch of colorful artificial gems, anyway, how handsome, how beautiful and how to come.
In addition to creating armor for His Majesty the King, Ye Tianlong is also going to create a set of full-body steel plate armor for Viscount Thor that is not so fancy, after all, he has offended almost all the big nobles in the Nord Kingdom now, and allies like Viscount Thor still have to maintain a good relationship, otherwise he will be very uncomfortable when those big nobles target him together.
Now he has given Viscount Thor another gift, which can be regarded as reminding those big nobles that he is not the only nouveau riche! And this Viscount Thor too! This will also somewhat divert the attention of the great nobles.
I believe that Viscount Thor wouldn't mind helping him share some firepower, after all, he can be said to have saved the other party's life in the last national war, and the two really have a lifelong friendship now.
After receiving the extremely luxurious armor sent by Ye Tianlong, King Ragnar really liked it very much, and even sent someone to hint to Ye Tianlong that if Ye Tianlong was interested, he could even choose a princess from the royal family to marry him.
Ye Tianlong was really a little excited when he first heard the name of the princess! But after looking at the portrait of the princess brought by the palace attendant who came to deliver the message, he immediately completely rejected the idea of marrying the Nord royal family. Because those princesses have very few genes from King Ragnar at a glance, all of them are tiger-backed, and their faces are extremely rough, which is not the type that Ye Tianlong likes at all.
After giving up the idea of marrying the Nord royal family, Ye Tianlong also began to get down to business, he first used the summon quota obtained this week, and then summoned more than fifty new players who were alive and kicking again, and then used the random mod world draw that takes a month to obtain.
This kind of extraction is drawn from all the player-made riding and slashing mods and official mods, and what kind of mod world can be extracted depends on luck, it is possible to draw a fantasy mod world with extraordinary power such as "Pander's Prophecy", or it is possible to extract a mod world in the era of ordinary cold weapons such as "Riding and Slashing: Warband", which is improved on the basis of the original game of Riding and Slashing.
Ye Tianlong felt that his recent luck belonged to the rising period, and this time he should be able to extract a good mod world.
After clicking on a large carousel similar to a lottery to confirm the draw, the pointer on it began to rotate rapidly, and Ye Tianlong stared at the pointer closely, wanting to see which riding and slashing mod world it would stop at in the end.
After turning it quickly for more than ten seconds, the speed of the pointer began to slow down a little bit, and at this time, Ye Tianlong already felt that his eyes were a little dazzling.
Just after he reached out and rubbed his sour eyes, he found that the pointer had completely stopped, and the last mod world it was referring to was actually the "Dancing Water Margin".
The development value of this world is not low, after all, the size of the map in it alone is much larger than the original game, the Song Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom and the Western Xia or something, the maps all add up to almost the entire East Asian region.
The area of its map is at least seven or eight times the size of the original cavalry, and because the map has become larger, the number and quality of the armies of the countries in this world have naturally improved. The most terrifying thing is that those so-called mages can perform all kinds of magical Dao methods, in Ye Tianlong's opinion, except for his master Li Rufeng, everyone else has to recognize the mages in this Water Margin world. In addition, the combat effectiveness of those more famous heroes and generals in this world is not weak, and if you take any one to the original world of riding and slashing, it is estimated that you can easily beat a strong man like King Ragnar who is born with divine power.
However, it also means that it is much more difficult to conquer this world than in the original game. And Ye Tianlong is not even capable of completely conquering the original game world now! For the time being, I don't want to go to the two ends of the world of "Dancing Water Margin" to start a war, but I can go over and dig up some more capable heroes to come over and serve as my generals.
After making up his mind in his heart, Ye Tianlong summoned his master Li Rufeng, Luo Chenguang, Zhou Jiale, Jiang You and other cronies, plus the thirty-nine Khans of Kusset to open a spatial passage and enter the world of "Dancing Water Margin" to explore.
As soon as Ye Tianlong and the others passed through the space passage, they heard a fierce fight, Ye Tianlong looked left and right, and found that they seemed to appear in a forest, and the sound of the fight came from not far in front of them.
So Ye Tianlong led the group to cautiously approach the direction where the sound came from, ready to see who was fighting there.
Soon, Ye Tianlong and the others approached the place of the fight, and they also saw the two sides of the fight at a glance, both of them were quite stout men, and the weapons in their hands were all extremely common Pu knives in the Water Margin world.
However, although the weapons used are very ordinary, the intensity of the fight between these two big men is very exaggerated, and the speed of wielding the Pu knife is so fast that even a dark master like Ye Tianlong can barely see it clearly, which shows that the martial arts of the two people fighting in the field are very superb, and they may even be masters of the innate martial arts level like his master Li Rufeng.
And after Ye Tianlong carefully looked at the appearance of these two people, he also roughly guessed the identities of these two people, one of them had a leopard head and ringed eyes, and there was a unique gold seal of the thief army on his face, and the other had a huge cyan birthmark on his face that almost covered half of his face.
If Ye Tianlong's expectations are good, these two people should be the leopard head Lin Chong and the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi, this is also the first time the two have met, because Lin Chong has just fallen into the grass in Shuibo Liang Mountain, and he needs to go down the mountain to make a few votes as a vote, but unfortunately because he is too soft-hearted, he has not been ruthless in killing people and goods for several days under this mountain, and finally seeing that the time is almost up, he has no choice but to rob a batch of gold and silver to use for the transaction.
But it turned out that this batch of gold and silver belonged to Yang Zhi, this unlucky guy encountered a storm when escorting Huashigang some time ago, which caused the tribute ship carrying Huashigang to capsize, so he never dared to go back to report. It wasn't until recently that he took advantage of the emperor's amnesty to dare to go back, but he also prepared a large amount of gold and silver to dredge up the relationship, so that the boss would no longer be held accountable. Now that Lin Chong robbed him of the gold and silver that he had sold almost all of his family property, Yang Zhineng was not in a hurry! That's why he fought with this hateful 'robber' without saying a word, and the fight was so fierce.
