Chapter 70 Mantis (3rd Update!)

Riding on a tall white horse, Lupo had never felt so comfortable in his life.

Walking in front of the army, like a real general, leading a large number of troops on the land of a foreign country, fighting with a hierarchical army, he had a small family before crossing, and also practiced riding.

The army set up a formation, forming a military formation, and when both sides were ready, they launched a neat charge until one side could no longer hold on.

This was the war he expected, the army set up a formation and then charged each other.

He enjoyed this feeling.

The feeling of full of chivalry and chivalry code

A mixed infantry regiment of 1,000 people, 600 shield-bearing spearmen, 400 crossbow shooters, and 60 shock cavalry teams directly under him, and ten doctors.

Of course, it is impossible for all these troops to be his own. To form such a huge army, the ratio of production population to army in his territory exploded directly, and he could not afford to support it even if he emptied his family.

This army was only expanded to this point recently. Before that, it was only about one-fifth of the current number, that is, 200 people, 200 shield-bearing spearmen and 60 light cavalrymen.

This is the army he borrowed from the city-state lord by fully utilizing his eloquence. This is also the idea of ​​many lords. It takes a long time and resources to expand the army by themselves, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and brain-consuming.

So why not just specialize in production, obtain resources, build a post station to other indigenous city-states to "rent" a troop to help yourself? The system even recognizes the mercenaries obtained in this way as the territory army.

He even got stuck with a small bug. The term of his employment was only signed for one month. At a flow rate of 1:10, 120 days would only take 12 days to the territory.

If they die late, they may ask him for wages according to their combat time, which is much cheaper than signing directly for four months. If these mercenaries die early on the battlefield... then he doesn't have to pay the money later!

Anyway, no one will really die in the exercise battlefield, so it's better to borrow more mercenaries.

Of course, Lupo would not just want mercenaries, he still had his own little thoughts.

Providing weapons, equipment, food and wages to these troops was really a big expense, and all this money would eventually flow into the hands of the greedy city lord.

The city lord did not have to pay anything except people and technology.

But Lupo relied on this method to get the equipment blueprints and arms blueprints from the city lord for free, and the relevant production buildings were also recognized by the system. Even if he left the city lord in the future, he would still have the ability to manufacture these troops.

In addition to the existing infantry, he also spent a lot of money to purchase four heavy bed crossbows.

He did not forget that this was a world where magical monsters existed, and those imaginary monsters would also appear on the battlefield. He knew that it was very irrational to rely on manpower to fight against those monsters, and he had to use some powerful weapons, such as heavy equipment.

He hesitated for a long time between the catapult and the bed crossbow, and finally chose the bed crossbow.

The bed crossbow was not as powerful as the catapult and catapult in terms of weapon power, but its extremely high precision was incomparable to the catapult.

These four heavy crossbows can reach a range of 400. Their long-range power is low, only 150 points, and they have extremely high shooting accuracy and armor-piercing ability.

These heavy crossbows that must be pulled by horses carry amazing kinetic energy after firing.

He even thought about using the crossbow to hunt a dragon. Dragon hunting... is really a term that can only be seen in novels.

He has heard that there are dragon lords among other lords, and he really wants to hunt one and cut off its head and put it on the high wall in the center of his town.

When he saw the large number of monster infantry and behemoth units prompted by the exercise battlefield, he knew that his crossbow was absolutely worth buying. At that time, the city lord insisted on selling the crossbow blueprint and the crossbow together, and he was slaughtered again.

"Whoa-"

Pulling the reins of the white horse under his crotch, it stopped far away in the mud. The stench made Lupo look disgusted.

The faint black mist lingering in the sky was particularly conspicuous even from several kilometers away. As long as the lord saw the black mist, he would be attracted by it... What if there was a treasure?

There must be treasures in such a special terrain, Lupo's experience in the game told him so.

It was only when he arrived here that he found that it was a rotten muddy swamp covering an area of ​​two football fields, and there was nothing in it, only small hills.

Hmm?

He saw several carriages overturned in the rotten mud. Although the carriages had been infiltrated with mud, the broken windows showed everyone what they had - gold and jewelry.

Sure enough, there were treasures, Lupo smiled happily. This car of gold and jewelry was enough to feed the army for half a year.

But reality would never let him go so smoothly. He glanced at the distant horizon.

A white line appeared on the edge of the mountain at the far end. It was the army led by another lord. He was also attracted by the black mist here.

Going one step further than Lupo, this elven lord swore allegiance directly to the fourth-level elven city-state that the post station was connected to, and relied on his special status as a lord to be recognized by the elves. If it weren't for the fact that he looked more like a half-elf, these high elves would not have been able to accept him so easily.

Of course, this acceptance was not unconditional. He had to be faithful and carry out the requirements given to him by the elves.

They also promised to provide him with military assistance to protect his territory, and gave him a low-level elven heroine to lead this "military support".

Not much, one elven archer hero and two teams of elven spear-and-shield elven guards (sea guards), 180 people. They held spears and had an armor strength of up to 40 points, and also held a thick shield that could resist most of the small projectiles of the same era.

In addition to the spear as the main weapon, these elven troops had a longbow, which had strong melee ability and a range of 165 and a long-range power of 20.

Both long and short.

But his territory only had a population of about 700 elven people, which was the result of his absorption of some elven immigrants from other city-states, otherwise there would only be a population of over 600.

With such a strong army, the Elf Lord naturally felt that he could hold his chest high and walk sideways in the PVP battlefield of the training battlefield. He couldn't wait to let other lords see his newly learned spells...

When he just landed, he encountered a team of 100 nomadic cavalry. After seeing the power of the longbow shooting used by the elven guards, his self-confidence swelled, and he felt that he had reached the peak of his life.

Compared with fighting with indigenous NPCs, he wanted to crush a player more.

What he didn't know was that this was actually a PVPPVVP battlefield, and the system's matching... has always been allocated based on your territory's hidden total score, ensuring sufficient income while balancing the gap...

The new lords who just entered the training battlefield have not yet felt the deep malice of the system... It didn't even say all these contents.

(Okay, I owe you more! I will resume the daily two updates later!)
