The mighty lord of online games

Chapter 365 Inventory of Su Nuo City's Strength

After a week of rest, Zhang Qiang's troops finally recovered half of their strength in Uxhall.

After the victory of the original battle, the living heavy armored knights got new equipment, their combat skills improved, and their equipment looked brand new, but for them, there was no way to upgrade, because the heavy armored knights were already the kingdom of Swadia. , and even Calradia, the most powerful arm in the world, even in terms of level, they have already risen to the top level, level 59, they have already reached the ceiling of the soldier class.

If they had noble status, they would have been able to be promoted to knight servants at the second level and get more merit points. If the lord appreciated them, they could be promoted to noble knights and gain the glory of ordinary nobles.

But if they are civilians, then they can only continue to improve their level, level up, and become a senior soldier.

In the end, they can only be regarded as free knights, that is, civilian knights.

This is like soldiers in peacetime who have not gone to military academy. Although they enjoy privileges in the army, they are not officers after all.

This is a step further than military officers, representing their identity and status, as well as the future development of the family.

Having a noble status is equivalent to finding a good background for yourself and your descendants. In the future, even if their descendants have no skills, they can still obtain a lot of social resources and gain people's respect.

If you are just a civilian with high personal strength, you will be a senior soldier all your life.

You can only serve others all your life, and don't wait for others to serve you.

Zhang Qiang was not stingy with the rights in his hands, and promoted the remaining few heavy armored knights to knight squires, and gave them the title of reserve nobles.

It can be seen that each of these high-level soldiers is over 36 years old, and some are even around 50 years old. They have reached the high level of heavy armored knights and the top of high-level soldiers. here.

There are a total of six of these people, yes, there are close to twenty heavily armored knights, only six survived so far.

They became Zhang Qiang's new wave of knight servants. Most of the knight servants promoted by Zhang Qiang died in battle. They only had third-level strength. It was after Zhang Qiang fought against the two lords of the Vikia Kingdom in Aiko Village. Among the warriors who were promoted from the second level to the third level, the archers, and the knights who were promoted from the cavalry, at this moment, there is only one left alive.

Zhang Qiang promoted him to be his own knight, and together with James, Sam, and Simon, these three formed Zhang Qiang's knight team.

As for Lesarit, Artiman, Manid, and Rolf, due to various reasons, Zhang Qiang can only let them still be his heroes. Heroes are also a special existence on the Calradia continent. They are more powerful than knights. There is a difference, but the difference is not big. A knight must be loyal to his lord for the rest of his life.

And heroes may still have some mercenary nature, so even if they are loyal, the lord can only reward them like mercenaries, but cannot turn them into his own knights, unless they are wholeheartedly loyal to the lord, but The identities of heroes, as well as the ambition and character in their hearts, are destined to leave you one day.

Heroes are like partners who fight together, and knights are your subordinates. This is how Zhang Qiang feels recently.

There are 2 Kujit iron cavalry. For them, the top troops of the Kujit kingdom, they can't be promoted. Their combat skills and ethnic habits make them weaker than the heavy armored knights of the Swadia kingdom. One point, the heavy armored knights of the Kingdom of Swadia can be upgraded to level 59, but the Kujit iron cavalry can only be upgraded to level 56, which is always a little bit worse.

Zhang Qiang also promoted them to be his knight attendants.

The three surviving Mamluk cavalry are stronger than the heavy armored knights of the Swadia Kingdom. They have already risen to the top of the soldiers and ranks of the Salander Kingdom, level 3, which is equivalent to the quasi-sixth level.

However, compared to the heavy armored knights of the Kingdom of Swadia, the extra level they have is only because their combat skill level is a little higher than that of the heavy armored knights of the Kingdom of Swadia, but their combat skills limit them. They cannot wear heavy armor like the Swadian heavy armored knights. They ride slower, but absolutely domineering horses with greater impact. Their dexterity is a little higher than that of the Swadian heavy armored knights, but overall It is slightly inferior to the Knights of the Kingdom of Swadia in terms of combat ferocity and endurance.

In a duel, they might beat the knights of the Swadia Kingdom, but when their morale is low, they may not be as good as the heavy armor knights of the Swadia Kingdom. and cannot be reflected.

When the whole cavalry is charging, maybe the Swadian heavy armored knights are better when the force is equal, or they may fight alone, they can rely on the flexibility and speed of the horses to make the Swadian heavy armored knights exhausted They couldn't catch up with them, and then they were consumed to death, but when the whole cavalry charged for a decisive battle, the two of them couldn't beat a Swadian heavy armored knight.

Four knights, eleven knight attendants, four heroes, Ramosson, John Johnson, this is the top strength of Zhang Qiang's current troops.

Medium, the thirty surviving heavy cavalry were upgraded to the knight cavalry of the Kingdom of Swadia, from the third rank to the fourth rank.

The six Swadia Kingdom knight cavalry, promoted from the fourth rank to the Swadia Kingdom heavy armor knight, inherited the positions of the six surviving heavy armor knights who had just been promoted to knight servants and prepared nobles.

Eleven slave trader leaders were upgraded to slave trader leaders, and slave trader leader Lecky was upgraded to knight attendants of Zaka Knights.

He does not belong to Zhang Qiang's jurisdiction, he is just placed here by Zaka Knight to help Zhang Qiang capture prisoners.

When Zhang Qiang told the Zhaka Knights through the scouts, the Zhaka Knights came from Uxhall City, unceremoniously accepted eleven slave trader leaders, and then dumped two hundred slave trader hunters to Zhang Qiang. Zhang Qiang Zhang Qiang felt very speechless, he regarded himself as an instructor who trained officers for him.

However, Zhang Qiang happily accepted the two hundred slave hunters. These people don't need to pay for their equipment, but can also help him fight. He only needs to pay their wages.

Slave hunters are equivalent to half of the salary of the slave leader. Although [-] slave hunters seem to be higher than the number of [-] slave leaders, the overall combat effectiveness is still reduced.

But in time, there will be another hundred slave trader leaders.Maybe after several battles, dozens of slave traders will be in command again.

However, Zhang Qiang still likes this kind of free labor that does not cost employment fees and only needs to be paid.

Low-level soldiers cannot be recruited in the castle, and he has no right to recruit soldiers in the territory of Earl Crags, but Zhang Qiang can go to Palavin. This time Zhang Qiang recruited fifty noble children. These noble children passed through Pala The education of the aristocratic schools of Wenzhou aristocrats is trained on the training ground. After studying in the military school, everyone has one or two skills, such as tactical skills, such as coaching skills, such as reconnaissance, medical treatment, and even logistics skills. Veterans who climbed up from the soldiers are more useful.

These noble children are generally of first-order strength. This is because the relationship between Zhang Qiang and the city of Palavin is not very good. Order.

Originally, he thought that he would be able to recruit unlimited noble children from the territory of Harlaus in the future, but in the end he found out that he can recruit a maximum of [-] children. No matter how long it takes him to recruit, the total number will be [-].So he recruited all at once.

After the province, his relationship with King Harlaus changed, and the order was abolished. With Earl Crags, the Harlengoth family didn't welcome him, and he couldn't guarantee that he would have a chance in the future.

Everyone knows the influence of the Harengos family on King Harlaus.

If it weren't for the great achievements he made this time, many lords of the Swadia Kingdom looked at Zhang Qiang with admiration, maybe it would be difficult for him to be promoted to Viscount, and at most he would be rewarded with a fourth-class baron.

He made most of the lords of the Swadia Kingdom have a good impression, and Earl Crags became more afraid of him. This is what he knew after chatting with Knight Zaka.

Knight Zaka told him that the road to the earl may be more bumpy, not as easy as the viscount, and other families will not allow another earl lord to compete with them for the limited resources of the kingdom's castle territory.

Due to years of wars in the Calradia continent, the families of each kingdom have to grab more territorial resources. The larger the territory, the more resources. They have no time to develop and can only compete for more castle territories. Resources are used to obtain wealth and power, and to maintain the army. There is no one to build. If the country is not enough, it must be robbed from other countries. Therefore, this is one of the reasons for the constant wars on the Calradia continent.

The viscount is divided into ten ranks, which increases the difficulty of going to the high title of earl.

It is possible to keep the Earl on the top always with a small presence, which can ensure the balance of resource distribution.

The six kingdoms are all about the same, and each kingdom only has a maximum of twenty counts.

Plus the king, the 21 highest ranking lords.

He was a tenth viscount.

The tenth viscount only owns one more village than the baron, that is, the territory of two villages, according to the regulations that the mainland of Calradia does not become.

Because there are not many resources in the village territory.

The higher you go, the more resources you get, but they are all village territories, and there is no way to obtain castle territories unless you are an earl.

The castle territory can enjoy the tax of the village territory and the lord of the village territory. If it is a viscount directly belonging to a certain earl, he will pay less tax. If your village territory is not within the fiefdom of your earl lord, you have to pay Taxes for earls and lords will be more.

And it belongs to your caravan to pass through other earl's territories. To go to your territory, you have to pay tolls and commercial taxes, and the viscount has to pay three-fifths. Unless there is a special gift or agreement, your caravan is in other counties. If you pass through the earldom, you have to pay three-fifths of the tax.The baron has to pay half of the tax. Unless an individual earl has a special policy in his territory, otherwise, the baron's caravan will have to pay half of the tax when passing through other earl's territories.Commodity prices, only look at the heights of your personal trading skills.

However, the highest trading skill can only offset the tax of 20.00% five.

You will also have to pay a fee equivalent to 20.00% tax on the price of the item.

The earl's caravan passes through the territories of other earls, and only pays 20.00% of the tax. If the trading skill is high, you can offset the 20.00% of the tax. Of course, you have to pay the tax first, and then reduce it through your trading skills The purchase price of the item, or increase the profit on the sale of your item to offset these taxes.

The remaining profit is the profit of your selling price.

Zhang Qiang was overwhelmed by what he heard, it's very complicated.

But now he has no caravan, and Manid is brought with him as a knight.

Don't worry about these anymore, his current source of income is the slave trade with Knight Zaka.

For his actions this time, the captives he brought back allowed him to obtain 300 million dinar gold coins from Zaka Knights, plus the spoils he sold, and the military expenditure of 100 million gold coins rewarded by King Haraus, he won The income of 400 million dinar gold coins.

However, with the remaining [-] billion dinar gold coins that he obtained through that speculation in his manor, he didn't take this income seriously.

After the strength of the army has been restored to 350 troops this time, although the combat power may be half of what it was when it came out of Uxhall, it can be regarded as a strong army. Thinking with his toes, he also knows that a viscount's army cannot It is always unlucky to encounter a Kingdom Expeditionary Force, so this kind of strength is enough to travel the Calradia continent.

Can you still run if you can't beat it?

The whole cavalry is mobile, and ordinary people really can't catch up.

With the previous victory of [-] cavalrymen against [-] Salander infantry regiments, Zhang Qiang became more and more fond of the whole cavalry army.

Calling a few heroes and knights, Zhang Qiang threw the troops to the knight servants, and Lesarite, who had to train the newly recruited noble children. The first training subject was to let them Get on the horse, whether it is a soldier, an archer, or aristocrats who are originally cavalry. I don’t want them to be able to fight on horseback. I hope they can be a mounted infantry like Zhang Qiang was back then, and they can follow the troops quickly.

More than a dozen people rushed to the tavern in Sunuo City, drinking to their heart's content, maybe they won't have the chance to come to Suno City for a while.

After all, this is the territory of Earl Klages of the Harlangoth family, and Zhang Qiang doesn't want to come too much. The army can't pay for rest, and can't spend money to increase the income of that old bastard Earl Klages?
Manid and Yatiman seem to be acquaintances here. They chatted and farted with the tavern owner and those prostitutes during the shuttle, completely forgetting their identities. Jin's dandy, alcoholic.

Rolf looked like a depressed knight, alone in a dark corner, pretending to be aloof, pouring wine alone, worrying, and depressed.

Zhang Qiang also understood his character, so he found a seat with a few knights, gathered around a table and had a drink.

His status also made some young people and drinkers stay away.
