Tauren Overlord

The task of the wives on both sides is to do everything they can to make the husband of the other side quickly release the formula for making a baby in their body;

The task of both husbands is to integrate themselves into each other's wives and keep moving, for as long as possible.

If any one of them plays passively, he will be directly judged as the loser.

This rule seems fair and just, but it is actually extremely disadvantageous to the auction steward.

The auctioneer's steward is nearly 50 years old and has difficulty keeping up physically.

Although he tried his best to marry young girls, his wife was also a middle-aged woman in her 30s.

The driver is less than 30 years old, which is the prime of his life, so he has a great advantage.

The driver's young wife was only in her early 20s, an age when she was both charming and energetic.

No matter how you look at it, the driver's family has a better chance of winning, right?

In short, Lu Heng really shook his head after watching this game.

However, this time Lu Heng came to observe Aicao Town through landing point vision, not to watch this curious competition, but to shop.

It was probably just a coincidence that I ran into this outrageous activity at this moment.

He hadn't come to Artemisia Town to shop before because his teleportation distance was limited when he was at level one, so he could only hang around the Mountain Territory.

Now that it has been upgraded to the second level, the distance that can be teleported and observed has increased a lot.

At this moment, Lu Heng was not very pleased with the arrogant Lord of Aicao Town on the rostrum.

He even wanted to open a portal and send Pierre in to melt him.

Anyway, he brought with him two psychic crystals that were charged for him by Rhea and Nina, so he still had some psychic energy reserves for a little battle.

But when Lu Heng was adjusting his landing point vision, he found that he could not get close to the podium, let alone open a portal next to Pierre.

Because there is a powerful anti-magic field that blocks his teleportation ability.

At the same time, the "Strongest Couple Competition" officially began, and soon a one-sided situation emerged.

The auctioneer was old after all, and he barely lasted 30 seconds before he gave up his formula for making babies in the fierce relative movement of the coachman's wife.

The auction house manager's wife was still fighting with the driver, who had held out for more than a minute and seemed like he could still keep fighting.

At this moment, the auction house manager was extremely regretful.

Because his life was threatened by Pierre, he had to "voluntarily" choose to use this humiliating method in exchange for a chance to survive.

Now he finally realized that it might be more dignified for Pierre to kill him directly, rather than letting himself and his wife "voluntarily" do such a thing.

The auction steward, unable to bear it any longer, finally roared in the arena with a powerful voice:

"Pierre! Kill me!"

Pierre on the rostrum didn't seem surprised at all. He responded calmly:

"Since the contestant has made this request, let's satisfy him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burning feather arrow flew straight towards the auction house steward's chest.

The arrow was still burning until the auction house steward died.

This murder scene immediately shocked the driver who was just trying his best to control the pace.

He stopped his movements unconsciously and quickly faced the penalty against him in a trance.

Pierre announced to the audience with great interest:

"This match is really unfortunate. One team volunteered to die, and the other team broke the rules and gave up the match, so it can be considered a loss."

"How should the losing team be punished?"

"I have decided to give the losing team's wife as a reward for this competition. You can enjoy her at will. Do you think it's appropriate?"

The driver's wife is a young female doctor who has used her medical skills and love to bring health and hope to many residents of Aicao Town.

She also has a brother who is also a doctor and is even better trained than she is.

But she may not know yet, her current tragic experience may be related to her brother...

At the same time, Lu Heng was looking for the source of the anti-magic field.

After some investigation, he found the remains of a paladin in the center of the anti-magic field.

After taking a closer look at the shape of the remains of the Paladin, Lu Heng felt that it could not be said to be very similar to his cheap father, but could only be said to be exactly the same.

So... that rank 2 spellcaster was killed by Pierre and turned into a magic seal?

However, this also made Lu Heng realize a problem. He could easily use the portal to deal with the enemies in the early days, but that was because they were too weak.

As the enemy's strength continues to increase, various strange magic props will continue to increase, and the enemy will become more and more difficult.

He must improve his strength as quickly as possible so that he can be invincible when encountering enemies of level two, level three or even stronger.

Only with strong power can Lu Heng protect those who stand on his side and prevent them from falling into the clutches of people like Pierre.

Unfortunately, Lu Heng was powerless to do anything for the auction house manager, the coachman and their poor wives.

He could only soothe the deep sadness in his heart by shopping more vigorously.

29. Go shopping, it’s free anyway

Although Lu Heng could not get close to the remains of the Paladin, it was still no problem for him to go shopping outside the range of the anti-magic field.

For example, weapons warehouse.

Pierre did not always allow his troops to carry these weapons.

Firstly, it is difficult to manage, and secondly, it increases the risk of rebellion, so most of these weapons are kept in warehouses.

Although the warehouse is not unguarded...but a normal person should be guarding the door, right?

Aren't you standing guard among the pile of weapons?

Then Lu Heng would take it with all his strength in a place where no one could see it.

Lu Heng had always been lacking a suitable weapon. After a brief search, he thought that a few two-handed axes would be quite good.

Of course, this two-handed weapon is designed according to the human body shape.

When it comes to the Tauren Overlord, the two-handed axe can be used as a one-handed axe or even a throwing axe.

Of course, an axe alone is not enough.

Lu Heng is not just a person, he is the Tauren Overlord.

Of course he had to arm his troops so that they could better resist the threat from Pierre.

In particular, the weak ratmen troops must be armed.

After all, that uncle is not an ally.

Putting aside the disgusting things he did in the arena, Lu Heng’s personal interests have now been harmed by Pierre.

Weimar brought back some of the infantry of the Mountain Territory, but the cavalry was detained in Artemisia Town. That was the elite force of the Mountain Territory.

No one knows what his uncle will do in the future, so Lu Heng needs to weaken Pierre's troops and increase the strength of his own territory.

So, faced with the dazzling array of weapons in Pierre’s weapons warehouse, what choice should Lu Heng make?

He first decided to prioritize long-range weapons, based on two considerations.

On the one hand, the morale of the ratmen on our side is very weak and they are basically unable to fight in close combat.

As for the rat-man slingers, they are more like battlefield cheerleaders than a ranged unit.

After all, the ratmen's slingers' battle width is too large. If they want to swing their slingshots, no one can stand within half a meter of them.

In addition, they threw stones instead of bombs, which resulted in their low lethality.

When Lu Heng obtained such troops, he reorganized them into a reconnaissance company because their direct combat effectiveness was too poor.

But at least they have formally played the role of ranged troops. If they are replaced with other ranged weapons, they will at least be more adaptable than melee weapons.

On the other hand, Lu Heng should try his best to limit Pierre's long-range power.

As a member of the Breos family, Pierre's troops are only stronger than those in the Mountain Territory.

Compared with the size of the army during the heyday of Qunshan Territory, the military strength of Aicao Town is even stronger, with approximately 800 to 1000 people.

Because cavalry was too expensive, Pierre's troops were mainly composed of infantry.

If this unit can be restricted to some kind of slow, pure melee unit, its combat potential can be greatly limited.

And in theory, a slow, pure melee force, even if well-trained, has major tactical flaws.

Once you are in a situation where you are being kite-trapped by fast-moving long-range troops, it is not surprising that your entire army will be wiped out.

The only difference is that a bad unit might be kited in the morning and be done for in the afternoon;

The ordinary troops might not be finished till tomorrow;

The well-trained troops could not hold on until the day after tomorrow and were finally defeated.

Lu Heng intended to make Pierre's troops into a more easily defeated force, so long-range weapons were his main shopping direction.

Besides, melee weapons are also difficult to restrict.

Since this world has plants like Taimenia rye that are not found in their hometown, they can actually make primary melee weapons very quickly.

Relatively speaking, the production of long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows requires more technical skills and requires more time to replenish.

Of these two mainstream long-range weapons, the advantages of the bow are its fast firing rate and long range. In long-range shooting, the bow is often more stable than the crossbow.

But when evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of a weapon, we cannot just evaluate the weapon itself.

For example, when evaluating a bow, one must consider the archer as well.

The training cycle for archers is very long. The seemingly simple art of drawing the bow and shooting arrows requires ten to eight years of practice to become proficient, or even a lifetime of practice.

And the bow must match the archer. The same bow will produce different effects when used by different archers.

Because every archer has a different height, body shape, and pulling force on the bow, it takes a long time to adjust.

This results in the bow of the old farmer in Taimenia often being a family heirloom, because it is his own bow that allows him to learn and become familiar with it earlier.

Relatively speaking, the advantages of a crossbow are that it is easy to use, has strong armor-piercing capabilities, and can be drawn without firing.

The disadvantage is that the crossbow arrows are relatively short and thick, making their accuracy unsatisfactory when used at longer distances.

But overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Although it may take several months to become proficient in using a crossbow, it is still far too short to take a lifetime.

Even if you just want to learn how to use it, it will take at least ten days to learn how to load, aim and pull the trigger.

Moreover, the bow can only be opened with one hand, and it is difficult to aim for a long time after opening it. Pulling a crossbow requires the coordination of the entire upper limbs and waist.

This means that under the same size, the crossbow arrows will have higher lethality.

And most importantly, after the crossbow is fired, the soldiers can move around flexibly, but after drawing the bow, they need to stay in place and shoot as quickly as possible.

Even a strong man cannot keep a bow ready for long, but a crossbow can.

This enabled the crossbowmen to engage in guerrilla warfare, becoming a dynamic and surprising force on the battlefield.

However, among the various advantages of the crossbow, what Lu Heng valued most was that crossbowmen could be trained faster than archers.

He might encounter an armed conflict within a month, which was not the time to spend several years slowly training archers.

So Lu Heng finally chose the crossbow between the bow and arrow.

Especially the Timenia light crossbow, which is very suitable for ratmen to use.

Lu Heng was also considerate enough to take out all of Pierre's crossbow ammunition reserves in the weapons warehouse so that his troops would have sufficient ammunition.

This was also to leave Pierre without any arrows.

Some of the items that Lu Heng also took were important tactical equipment, such as kerosene bottles and poison pox bottles.

One of them is filled with flame-resistant grease, and the other is filled with poison that can poison the opponent, both of which can effectively increase the power of the crossbow.

Of course, there has never been any battlefield rule that stipulates that crossbowmen cannot be equipped with melee weapons.

Lu Heng also took some swords with him, as he planned to equip each crossbowman with one.
