The mighty lord of online games

Chapter 380 Game World Army System
Seeing that everyone was happy, Zhang Qiang was also very happy.

He is a person from the real world, and he still has attachments to people in the real world in his heart.

I feel that people in the real world can be trusted. No matter how loyal the NPC is, if you want to talk to them about your inner thoughts, you can't express them, and you can't make them understand. They can understand it as an outer continent world they don't know.

Although the real world looks like an Outer Continent world too.

But in terms of communication, Zhang Qiang always felt a sense of alienation, and this feeling was lingering, so he made up his mind to appoint players, at least part of the territory he was in should be in the hands of players he trusted, so that he could feel at ease.

Although his territory is only two villages now, and the combined size is only more than [-] kilometers, but for him, this is capital.

Appointing people from the real world was a last resort for him.

Of course, these people who come to the game world have to be carefully selected. They can have ideas, but they can’t be like Xiangjiang people. At that time, they want to learn how to dominate themselves and fall to foreigners, so don’t blame Zhang Qiang’s butcher knife cut at them.

After parting with these people, Zhang Qiang returned to his manor in Uludana Village to rest. This manor, which was rebuilt on the ruins of his original manor destroyed by Feng Qingyang and his Kugits, looked better than before. It was much quieter.

The original manor could accommodate 4000 people, but now there are only a few hundred people, one hundred of them are troops sent by themselves, and more than 200 people are farmers who returned later and worked in the manor. They do not want to go to Uludana Village live, because they feel that the manor is safer.

There are also 200 farmers and servants from Tusculum Manor, and [-] Tusculum village guards.

These village guards are actually militiamen. After simple training, they can take up arms to fight, or serve as logistics soldiers, night watchmen, and patrol soldiers.

There are only a small number of real elite soldiers. They are responsible for managing these people. They gather together for training in peacetime, defend the manor in wartime, and mostly rest when they are free.

Among the two people brought by Zhang Qiang were Bestur and Borcha, who are now his slaves. Originally, Lesarit wanted to execute them, but Zhang Qiang heard about their status as adventurers, and they They are also considered heroes on the mainland, so they were taken as war slaves.

At this time, the two people were wearing shackles and handcuffs, and were busy carrying things. They were supervised by the guards of the Kingdom of Swadia. The guards of the Kingdom of Swadia were a gift Zhang Qiang received recently. There were about 20 people, and they were Reyes. The Earl just sent them from Fort Lunvadia. As a Viscount, he was not worthy of using high-level guards like the Swadian Kingdom Guards. They are usually standard soldiers of the earl or even the king’s special general guards. , but his relationship with Earl Reyes is getting closer.

His exploits also benefited the Earl of Reyes and his sons, especially his immediate lord, the Earl of Montville, the son of the Earl of Reyes.

The father and son each got a territory attached to a Veruga-affiliated village.

Their territory has expanded again.

Don't underestimate the two village territories. Although the Calradia continent has six kingdoms, each of the six kingdoms concentrates on developing three to four trading cities. There are only 21 large trading cities in the six kingdoms.

Each kingdom has about a dozen to twenty castle territories, which are not too many compared to village territories. A castle territory basically owns a large village territory, that is to say, there are only about twenty village territories, plus trade cities. , a large trading city has five village territories, and a small one has only two village territories.

Calculated in this way, a kingdom is only thirty to forty village territories.

But there are about twenty earl lords, thirty viscount lords, sixty baron lords, and those earls, viscounts, barons, and even earls who have defected from other kingdoms and have no territory or income. It is the knight lord, and the new free knight who is loyal to the king, the adventurer hero knight.

There are only 20 guards of the Kingdom of Swadia. Perhaps the financial resources of a village territory cannot afford to arm a single guard, but compared to a village territory, having and not owning a village has a different face, and those who own it are more noble. In the kingdom Talking is tough, you are an earl, but you have no territory, or you are not as good as a knight lord, you just own a forest in the wild, nest in the forest like a bandit and eat cornbread, I can do it in the village Drinking porridge and eating bread, compared to you, I am noble and different.

From this point of view, in my eyes, the mere 20 guards of the Kingdom of Swadia are of little value.

Although it used to cost a lot of money, even to arm a high-level fifth-level soldier, it would cost 50 dinars to arm a fifth-level soldier. For a fourth-level soldier, it would cost more than 40, and for a third-level soldier, it would cost more than 30. .

As for the second-tier soldiers, it’s much worse. Since Calradia mainland’s positioning of soldiers at or below the second-tier is to consume arms, the second-tier actually refers to their personal professional force more accurately, rather than armed forces. The combat effectiveness of the soldiers who have risen, so the price of the second-tier soldiers varies greatly, ranging from a few thousand gold coins to 10,000+, depending on personal financial resources.

But for now, after discounts, and then discounts, a fifth-rank soldier only needs two hundred thousand gold coins, a fourth-rank soldier only needs a hundred thousand gold coins, and a third-rank soldier only needs seven to eighty thousand gold coins. For a lord who owns a castle, a fifth rank is just a week's tax. Generally, a rich earl lord has fifty to eighty guards, fifty to eighty heavy cavalry, and one hundred heavy armored lords. Infantry, one hundred knight soldiers of the Kingdom of Swadia, two or three hundred heavy infantry, and two or three hundred heavy cavalry are commonplace.

Earl lords can generally lead a bottom line of 800 soldiers. With their reputation, charm, and commanding ability, they can lead more than [-] soldiers. Other soldiers need to use second-level soldiers and most of them. The cannon fodder soldiers are filled, and perhaps the combined equipment and military expenses of the remaining hundreds of soldiers are only the sum of five or six fifth-class soldiers.

To fight, we still have to rely on these high-ranking soldiers.

Of course, these high-level soldiers do not have to be armed by the lord, maybe they will spend half of the funds for arming, and the rest needs to be raised by the high-level soldiers themselves. They can seize a lot of loot, armor, weapons, and horses on the battlefield. , or even money and supplies from the enemy.

In addition, they are engaged in business on the lord's territory, and some even run shops. When the king needs them, they will gather and go home when they don't need them. In peacetime, they are on the king's territory, serving as the middle class , equivalent to the country's elite white-collar class.

In this way, it can be explained why the earl lord can have so many powerful soldiers of the fourth and fifth ranks. A large part of these soldiers are from the propertied class, and there are also powerful heroes and adventurers. The team is on duty like going to work, and only the general guard is the soldiers directly under the king. They are children of the aristocratic class with high loyalty and support the rule of the king or the rule of the earl.

The second-tier ones are all earning wages from the polar region, equipped with their own equipment and weapons, responding to the king’s call, being called up, and joining the army. They have personal force. They are generally the children of small businessmen, or they are recruited from villages and territories. The soldiers who came up included some mercenaries. They changed into the uniforms issued by the kingdom and became the army of the kingdom. But without exception, they were all troops of the kingdom camp who had fought with the king for a long time or came out of the training camp. Soldiers registered inside.

The first-tier people are mostly bankrupts, or poor villagers who want to go to the army to find a way out, or the declining nobles. They all need to receive military expenses from the army, or go to the battlefield to obtain combat power items, and seek a chance to go up. .

Ordinary soldiers, that is cannon fodder, the real cannon fodder, they are all temporarily recruited, or they are captives, servants, slaves, refugees, refugees, they are first-tier or second-tier soldiers who entangle the enemy, and defeat the enemy for the elite of the army The elite create opportunity fodder.

Such people are undoubtedly the saddest. After a battle, they basically disappear without a trace, and they need to be called up again for the next battle.

Only a limited few survived through their personal abilities, their martial skills and positions were improved, they received rewards, and then they were able to advance to the next level, and then they would be sent to the training camp in peacetime to receive formal combat training from the kingdom’s army. When you come out, you will be a low-ranking officer, directing the cannon fodder to fight.

Or be commanded by a second-tier officer, and become the weapon of a second-tier soldier officer to resist the enemy's attack.

Of course, tragedy is transmitted, and it is transmitted upwards. People of the second rank are also commanded by the officers of the third rank, those of the third rank are commanded by the fourth rank, those of the fourth rank are commanded by the fifth rank, those of the fifth rank are commanded by noble children, and those of the fifth rank are commanded by the higher ranks. Soldiers general command.

The composition of Zhang Qiang's army is similar to theirs, the difference is that as long as they reach the second rank, Zhang Qiang will promote them to knight servants, and the third rank will be awarded to knights, because he needs these people to command the army for him, and he has no noble children Well, these guys who sound like synonymous with dandies are actually from aristocratic families, and their knowledge and abilities are really not for nothing.

This time he obtained dozens of descendants of fallen nobles, and Zhang Qiang discovered that they were more advanced than those uneducated, illiterate villagers, farmers, reckless, or outlaws who had turned their backs and defected. Most of them are at the second level, and some are at the third level. They also have their own views and abilities on command, coaching, riding, riding and shooting, formation, formation, tactics, and how to motivate soldiers.

This time Zhang Qiang organized them into a team independently, and found that they could ride horses, were good at riding and shooting, and had their own unique understanding of fighting.

He is a good candidate for war, and maybe he may be a good candidate for generals when he comes in.

Of course, there are only a few who can become generals.

Even if they are children of nobles, there are differences between them.

Discussions on academics and tactics are what they are most passionate about. Some even have other skills, such as cooking, medicine, shipbuilding, blacksmithing, equipment manufacturing, etc. Even Zhang Qiang listens to what they discuss don't know.

This may be the difference in certain development lines between the real world and the game world.
