Chapter 1035: Population Explosion II
The first is the resources that have been put into the database.
Zong Shen initially offered a fixed price for resources.
Each captured lord needs to provide him with 1,500 copies of each of the three basic resources of wood, stone, and hemp, 1,000 copies of iron resources, 200 copies of mithril resources, and 1,000 dinars.
This is the dead standard he specified, leaving no room for bargaining.
At that time, Zong Shen referred to the average resource accumulation level of the lords, and even the poorest lords could basically collect it through gritted teeth. After all, the defensive challenge had just ended, and all the lords who could survive were not very poor.
Whether it is the rewards after completing the challenge or the mysterious merchants refreshed during the period, the lords have gained a lot.
Of course, except for the poor little guy like Jiang Yi who saved his life.
If Zong Shen hadn't missed the old love and deliberately used up an opportunity to revive the privilege, she might not even have a future. Although she has suffered some losses now, her development progress ranking has dropped from the original T2~T1 level to T3. She is already about to It was inferior to Medina, who was about the same as her before.
But at least she was still alive.
And staying alive means there is still a chance to catch up.
Therefore, it is best to collect data on the resources in the database. Ninety-nine percent of the prisoners paid this amount as agreed.
The very few lords who did not have enough resources also raised funds through "borrowing".
There are a total of 3172 captive lords. The total resources contributed by these guys to Zong Shen’s territory are as follows:
【Stone×4758000】
【Wood×4758000】
【hemp×4758000】
【Iron×3172000】
【Mithril×634400】
【Dinar×3172000】
…
There is no trace of resource data, and more than 3,000 captive lords have brought him tens of millions of resources.
Just the three resources of wood, stone, and hemp each have nearly five million copies.
The more precious iron resources also amount to more than 3.1 million, and the number of mithril is more than 600,000.
There were even more than three million dinars, which restored Zong Shen's balance of dinars that he had originally consumed.
"Let's make a fortune by robbing the lord!"
He was amazed that a mere 3172 lords could generate such a huge amount of resources.
And this is not all their net worth. If they change to the method of inheriting after killing, I am afraid they can gain several times more.
Thinking of this, Zong Shen looked forward to the [Quick Succession] that was completed tonight.
After confirming the harvest of resources, the next step is the statistics of the troops.
The conditions proposed by Zong Shen at that time were 30 second-level soldiers, 10 third-level soldiers, 3 fourth-level soldiers, and 1 fifth-level soldier. Choose one of them to transfer the relevant soldiers.
The lords are all human spirits, not to mention that most lords still have few warriors above the fourth level under their command.
Even if there are, they are hidden and tucked away and used as the "Dinghai Shenzhen" in the territory.
Because for the early development of the lord, a fifth-level warrior is already considered an incredible combat power.
Therefore, most of the lord transfers were second-level soldiers, accounting for nearly 80% of the total, followed by third-level soldiers, accounting for about 20% of the total, and fourth- and fifth-level soldiers together accounted for the last fraction.
Although most lords will not hand over high-level warriors, there are always a few big enemies among more than 3,000 people.
The base number is here, and there is a certain number of things that can be pieced together.
Among them, the statistical data on the reorganization of arms related to the second level are as follows:
[The total number of second-level soldiers: 75176]
【Detailed summary】
[Level 2 self-trained infantry: 21726]
[Second-level self-trained crossbowman: 12216]
[Second level wolf cavalry: 15112]
[Second-level Avalon light crossbowman: 4711]
[Level 2 Avalon Light Swordsman: 6192]
[Second-level Avalon Draconic Mage Apprentice: 371]
[Second-level Nord light axe: 1031]
[Second-level Swadia Dung Fork Militia: 97]
[Second-level Salander Iron Scorpion Scimitar Warrior: 904]
[Second-level Thunder Mage Apprentice: 792]
[Second-level wind mage apprentice: 949]
[Second-level Frost Mage Apprentice: 477]
[Second-level water mage apprentice: 1139]
[Second-level Holy Light Priest: 416]
[Second-level Necromancer Apprentice: 305]
[Second-level arcane mage apprentice: 233]
[Second-level Wood Mage Apprentice: 526]
[Second-level earth mage apprentice: 1058]
[Second-level Fire Mage Apprentice: 1531]
[Second-level Shadow Mage Apprentice: 299]
[Second level non-camped unit·Sophisticated gangster: 389]
[Second-level non-camped arms: The downtrodden wasteland bandit: 1977]
[Level 2 non-camp unit·Caravan guard: 1263]
[Level 2 non-camped unit·Wandering caster: 101]
[Second-level non-camp troops·Retired Lord’s retinue: 69]
[Second-level black-striped kobold warrior: 312]
[Level 2 poisonous wasp: 30]
[Level 2 Goblin Warrior: 851]
[Second-level fallen tree warrior: 99]
…
Because Zong Shen only required the same rank and did not specify a specific military unit.
Therefore, there are all kinds of arms among the second-level soldiers.
There are dozens of types alone, and in addition to the regular human troops, the captive lords even used troops such as goblins, wasps, and tree men to deal with the problem.
Among the second-level units handed over by the captured lords, the most numerous were [second-level self-trained infantry], [second-level self-trained crossbowmen], and the [second-level wolf cavalry] that the lords on this grassland loved most.
Those self-trained troops are all trained by [Farmers] + [Second-Level Infantry/Crossbowman Training Manual] + [Ordinary Second-Level Barracks without Blueprints].
It can be said that he is a miscellaneous soldier under every lord, and his comprehensive attributes are enough to reach the threshold of the second-level soldier.
But the equipment was all a patchwork of whiteboards and gray, broken junk.
The actual combat effectiveness is simply not comparable to the second-level standard soldiers recruited with recruitment scrolls.
Moreover, when the captive lords handed over the soldiers, they actually tried to take off the soldiers' equipment.
This behavior was stopped by Zong Shen, and the relative value of the soldiers who stripped off their equipment was reduced by one-third.
He will have to spend energy and money to re-equip them.
Therefore, the largest number of self-trained soldiers are solely used to deal with Zong Shen.
As of now, most lords have at least dozens of [Level 2 Training Manuals] on hand through unpacking or other methods, and they have basically transformed them into Level 2 self-trained soldiers.
You must know that no matter how good a self-trained soldier is, he is still much better than the prototype farmer.
You can also exert certain combat power in groups.
But to Zong Shen, it was complete garbage.
Until now, he has never taken the initiative to train a self-trained soldier.
Because he has no shortage of combat power on hand, there is no need to exchange for second-level self-trained warriors with low combat effectiveness at the expense of farmers.
As for those third-level standard barracks, they lost their self-training value because the number of corresponding [third-level training manuals] was too small, such as the [third-level dragon-born ranger barracks] he obtained a long time ago.
Now he is fully qualified to start construction, but he has not started construction yet because the [Level 3 Training Manual] is insufficient and he cannot train himself in large quantities anyway, so it is better not to train at all.
You must know that farmers who are transformed into soldiers through [Barracks Building] and [Training Manual] will lose their [Construction] ability, and their plasticity will be greatly reduced.
Since there is no shortage of this fighting power, it is better to retain more farmers.
Although farmers are weak, they are the basic population and the cornerstone of the construction and development of all territories.
As for the [Wolf Cavalry], it goes without saying. As a special unit of this region, all the lords in this grassland area with a radius of thousands of kilometers basically have many wolf cavalry.
It is not surprising that some lords would choose to use wolf cavalry for transfer.
In addition to the above three mainstream second-level arms that account for the majority of the numbers, there are also various types of mage apprentices.
They are one level higher than the first-level trainee mages, but their spell-casting ability is weaker than that of the third-level mages.
When the time comes, send them to the [Mage Tower] to learn. Maybe some of these second-level spellcasters can advance to third-level official mages.
No matter how bad it is, it can supplement the weak long-range attacks of the territory, or serve as a "power bank" for magic buildings.
In short, these mage apprentices are still very valuable to Zong Shen.
Further down are all kinds of fancy [non-camped second-level troops].
The so-called [no camp] refers to those "humanoid monsters" that wander in the wild and do not belong to any aboriginal forces.
Yes, monsters can also be tamed, not just like Zong Shen used [Pet Contract] to tame Bajie.
Most "humanoid monsters" with intelligence and subjective consciousness can be taken under their command by being captured and subdued.
The process was like subduing Aboriginal soldiers.
It's just that the combat effectiveness of most of these "humanoid monsters" is not as good as that of Kingdom soldiers of the same level.
For example, that [sophisticated gangster] is basically a gangster rat in the city, a low-class existence.
Others like [Desolate Wasteland Bandits] and [Caravan Guards] are pretty much the same.
In Zong Shen's opinion, the actual combat power level of these three types of [non-camped soldiers] can only be regarded as "one and a half levels".
A little better than the ordinary village militia, but much inferior to the second-level soldiers under the kingdom system.
However, there are exceptions among [Unarmed Soldiers].
Among them, [Wandering Spellcaster] and [Retired Lord's Retinue] both surprisingly possess super-level combat power. There are not many of them, and only a few "wronged lords" will transfer them. Fortunately, the base is here, even if there are not many, The number also exceeded a hundred.
Under certain conditions, they can use the second-level standards to cross-level and temporarily display combat power comparable to the third-level arms.
The first is those [Wandering Spellcasters].
As the name suggests, these guys are spellcasters wandering the wilderness.
They often appear in groups in the wilderness, and their movement trajectories are random, similar to refugees.
There is no corresponding organization behind it.
In popular terms, they are all "wild mages".
Most of the spellcasters in the Endless Continent are cultivated by mage towers in various places.
In addition, they are cultivated by major churches, regional forces, and niche spellcaster forces.
There are also specialized magic academies in some giant cities on the mainland, and a few nobles with spell casting talents will also choose to learn magic and become spell casters, thus having a longer normal life span.
After all, not everyone has the talent to cast spells.
In terms of quantity alone, spellcasters are more difficult to train than knights.
The Cavaliers just burn money and select a lot of good prospects every year.
On the other hand, it is completely different for spell casters. Not to mention the rare high-level spell casters, there are not many seedlings who can naturally practice to the level of a third-level official mage, even if they are moderately talented.
The mage troops in the giant city mage tower have a turnover cycle of more than ten years.
After every major battle loss, it takes at least ten years to replace the casters.
The person sitting in the mage tower is usually a seventh-level magician.
The seventh level among mages is not the same as knights, infantry, and crossbow shooters.
For magisters, one of their natural disaster-level magics is worth the charge of an entire legion of knights.
Even knights of the same level cannot compare with the magician in terms of group attack capabilities.
The so-called magisters are because they have the ability to "teach" to impart knowledge and train a new generation of spellcasters, so they can sit in the mage tower and have a transcendent status.
Outside of these mainstream methods, wandering spellcasters belong to the unnoticed existence.
There are always some guys with spellcasting talents, but they are either unwilling to be bound by the Mage Tower, or they are expelled from the Mage Tower for various reasons during training.
In the end, they chose to get together in private and continue to explore the truth about the spell caster.
This group is the so-called "Wandering Spellcasters".
Because they have been walking in the wilderness for a long time, their spellcasting abilities have increased in actual combat.
It also summarized many "reduced versions" of high-level spells.
For example, many of these [second-level wandering spellcasters] in front of me can cast third-level magic.
It's just that the price is higher than the normal casting of a third-level mage, or it takes longer to sing, or it consumes more magic. In short, there are some additional costs, which can be regarded as "wild ways" as opposed to the righteous way.
It is precisely because of this that the combat performance of these [second-level wandering spellcasters] has reached the point of transcending levels.
A total of 101 [Level 2 Wandering Spellcasters] can barely be regarded as lacking Level 3 Spellcasters.
Besides, there are those [Lord Freedman’s followers].
These retinues are all attendants and guards selected by minor nobles from an early age.
He has received good training as a knight and swordsman, and his comprehensive attributes exceed that of [Second Level Avalon Light Infantry].
It is comparable to the dismounted state of [Avalon Tier 3 Cavalry].
Moreover, these guys come with their own plate armor, which are all high-quality armors ranging from [Excellent] to [Rare].
As long as they are paired with horses, they can become a weakened version of [Tier 3 Plate Cavalry].
Even if nothing happens, it can still be used as a third-level infantry, which has quite an advantage in combat skills.
Among the second-tier arms, only these two are relatively profitable.
It's a pity that the quantity is too small.
There are only 101 [Level 2 Wandering Spellcasters].
There are only 69 [Second-level retired Lord's retinues].
This is a number extracted from more than 3,000 captive lords.
Speaking of which, Zong Shen actually neglected to recruit this "humanoid wild monster" unit.
In fact, he had never paid attention to this news before.
Now it seems that it has given him some brand new ideas!
