Chapter 25: The Human Tribe's Troops

  Xiao Yu looked at the human army camp in front of him, pondering what kind of troops to produce and how many would be better. This was a big problem.

  Currently, the barracks can produce human infantry, dwarf riflemen, and heavy cavalry. The main problem Xiao Yu is currently facing is Karu's next attack, so it's basically a defensive battle, in which case the heavy cavalry doesn't have much use.

  However, heavy cavalry is undoubtedly the heaviest type of troops among humans.

  If Xiao Yu were to go on another expedition against even stronger bandits in the future, and if the other side had cavalry, then he would need these heavy cavalrymen to counter them.

  However, the number is still a huge problem that has been troubling Xiao Yu. Now, although he has already reached the rank of Sergeant, he can only summon 1,000 soldiers, so every soldier must be the most useful.

  "Let's give up on the heavy cavalry for now, sir. Produce beastman infantry and human infantry instead. The heavy cavalry can be summoned when we reach the rank of officer, at which point a thousand-man heavy cavalry unit can be summoned directly, that would be awesome. One charge forward, followed by the beastman infantry, and basically any formation will collapse."

  Xiao Yu had made up her mind.

  He knew the power of heavy cavalry in this era, and when the two armies faced each other, the heavy cavalry could instantly destroy the enemy's formation, causing them to collapse. If he had beastman infantry following up quickly from behind, he would immediately be able to decide the victory of a battle.

  Then, Xiao Yu produced 300 beastman infantry again. The main body of the entire army was still beastman soldiers. There were only 200 archers, too many would occupy resources and be useless, because the elven archers had almost zero close combat ability, they could only serve as long-range troops, which was very limited.

  Then there were 200 places left, Xiao Yu prepared to produce 100 human infantry and 100 dwarf riflemen. The production of human infantry was because human infantry had a feature that beastman infantry did not have, which was shield defense.

  Shield soldiers also have an important position in the composition of troops in the cold weapon era, can be placed at the front of the military array to suppress the array feet, and protect the long-range troops behind, with many functions.

  The Musketeer, Xiao Yu thought that it must be different from the Elf's archer. First of all, Dwarves are not as delicate as Elves, their bodies are sturdy and strong, so they should have better close combat abilities. Moreover, since it is a firearm, its power should be greater than that of a bow and arrow. In this way, when dealing with some enemy heavy armor units in the future, it will play a very good role.

  After selecting production, soon, one by one combat units came out of the barracks.

  The beastman infantry didn't need to be said, Xiao Yu also didn't go take a look, directly watching the human infantry and riflemen over here.

  The first human infantry came out, Xiao Yu was still excited, a fully armored human soldier holding a huge shield and a single-handed sword stood in front of Xiao Yu, shouting loudly: "Greetings, master."

  Although this human soldier is not as strong and tall as the beast tribe's soldiers, his physical quality is absolutely first-rate. He stands at 1.8 meters tall, with a perfectly proportioned physique, muscles all over his body, and an energetic and vigorous aura, making him a standard human warrior who can't be any more standard.

  The soldiers of the Lion King's territory are nothing but militia compared to this human warrior.

  Xiao Yu was very satisfied with this, but after carefully looking at the armor and shield of this human soldier, Xiao Yu's mouth twitched suddenly.

  "What the...! Which crappy factory made this armor?! It's so thin! And this shield is just a wooden board with iron plates nailed on, and this sword is basically a piece of scrap metal! The human infantry can't even compare to the beastmen, it all comes down to equipment. You go out like this, even if you're elite, you won't be able to beat them! These armors aren't even as good as the ones we captured from those Carlu soldiers!"

  Xiao Yu let out a helpless sigh and knew this was another expense.

  This rotten system is most annoying at this point, everything needs to be upgraded, and everything needs to be purchased by yourself. Can't you just come out with a T1 set?

  So, Xiao Yu directly started producing armor and shields for human soldiers in the blacksmith's shop of the human tribe. The result that made Xiao Yu's eyes widen was that the equipment cost of the human tribe was twice as high as that of the beast tribe. There was no way around it, the human tribe relied on their equipment, unlike the beast tribe where a few pieces of iron hung on their vital parts could be considered armor.

  This made Xiao Yu directly curse his mother, it would have been better if they had produced beastman soldiers from the start.

  But anyway, some advantages of human soldiers still made Xiao Yu come up with a few spare ones.

  It's just as well that only a hundred tribal warriors were produced. If there were more, the cost of this armor alone would be a large sum. It seems that the over 200,000 gold coins I just intercepted will soon be gone.

  Before long, the Musketeers also came out.

  A sturdy dwarf gave the impression of being silly, with a big beard that almost dragged on the ground, holding a huge blunderbuss, and ran to Xiao Yu's front, shouting in a voice louder than a beastman: "Participate in the master, that, does the master have wine?"

  Xiao Yu originally had a pretty good impression of this dwarf, but with these words, Xiao Yu directly wanted to kick this dwarf away. Now his equipment isn't even complete, and he's still asking for wine.

  "Let me take a shot first." Xiao Yu prepared to check the difference between the dwarf gunner and the elf archer.

  The dwarf gunslinger nodded his big head and said, "No problem."

  Only to see the dwarf gunner skillfully pulled out a small lead ball from a small bag, stuffed it into the barrel, and then added some gunpowder behind, and fired at a tree in front.

  With a loud crash, a hole was blasted out of a rock next to the tree.

  "That... Master, I'm currently at a relatively low level, so my shots aren't very accurate." The dwarf gunner scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

  Xiao Yu was stunned, thinking that the dwarf gunslinger was aiming at that stone, but unexpectedly, the dwarf was so honest and said it directly.

  "I'm speechless." It took a long time for Xiao Yu to curse out loud, but the accuracy of this gunner was really too far off from that of an elven archer. Having grown accustomed to the elven archers' marksmanship, which could pierce through a willow leaf at a hundred paces, Xiao Yu found it difficult to accept the gunner's accuracy.

  Xiao Yu soon understood that where there is gain, there must be loss. The firepower of this dwarf gunner was indeed quite strong, and with one shot, he could blast a hole in a stone block. If he were to face those warriors carrying shields, he would likely be able to shoot right through them.

  But in terms of accuracy, it's a lot worse. Maybe aiming at that soldier and hitting the general next to him instead.

  Moreover, this musketeer has another shortcoming, which is that the speed of loading bullets is too slow. Compared to the quick and nimble movements of an elf archer drawing a bow and nocking an arrow, this musketeer needs at least four or even five times the speed.

  No way, this dwarf's firearm is still one of the oldest muzzle-loaders, loaded from the front, definitely not fast. And because it's a smoothbore gun, its accuracy must be relatively poor.

  Xiao Yu knew that these firearms could be upgraded later, but it was hard to say what level they could reach and whether an AK-47 would come out.

  Xiao Yu estimated that the system would definitely not equip dwarves with AK-47s. If they had AK-47s, there would be no need for other troops. A large group of dwarf riflemen could sweep across the land alone.

  "This is terrible, this broken rifle has to be replaced for them, otherwise it's too weak." Xiao Yu thought, his heart aching again, and he had to spend more money.

  Although there are many disadvantages, Xiao Yu knew that these infantrymen and musketeers would still be very useful in certain situations, so he still produced one hundred as reserves.

  Apart from buying armor and weapons for the human tribe, the elf tribe also has to buy them, and even more urgently than the human tribe. Because those elven archers are really too weak, they can be killed with just one sword by humans.

  These elves are also, those equipment are like works of art, everywhere inlaid with flowers, damn it's not waiting to be beaten by others?

  Xiao Yu tried to negotiate with Tailande, wanting to exchange some more solid leather armor for them. However, Tailande flatly refused, saying that those crude plate armors were only suitable for filthy beastmen and humans, and noble elves would never wear such coarse things.

  As soon as this sentence came out, Grom was suddenly furious and almost drew his sword to fight with Tyrande, Xiao Yu barely persuaded him.

  Da Fashi was also muttering to himself on the side, but he didn't have as bad a temper as Grom. However, Xiao Yu privately thought that Da Fashi must think that his current level is still too low and can't take down Tyrande, so as an old sly fox, he knew to keep a low profile and not make a move at this time.

  Although that was the case, Xiao Yu knew that if he wanted to make Tyrande apologize, it would be absolutely impossible. That was the stubbornness of the night elves, who would rather die than lose their beauty and nobility.

  There was no choice, Xiao Yu spent a large amount of money to upgrade the armor and weapons of all the elves, putting on new armor, although still mainly beautiful, but the defense was still greatly improved.

  Tairand's bow has been upgraded, and his long-range attack power has increased linearly. Now, a single scorching arrow can directly blast a boulder-sized hard rock into pieces.

  After equipping all these soldiers, Xiao Yu suddenly discovered that his two million gold coins were almost depleted.

  Xiao Yu built the Hunter's Hall of the Spirit Clan, established a blacksmith shop for the Human Clan, and also built a Shamanic Shop for the Beast Clan. From now on, those heavily injured soldiers can be treated.

  Several heavily injured orc soldiers from last time's siege battle are still lying in the cave.

  With this shaman shop, you can buy potions to heal these wounded warriors. However, Xiao Yu was depressed to find that the shop also had level restrictions, a first-level shop only had two things for sale: primary treatment potion and primary mana potion.

  And each purchase also has a cooldown period, with a maximum of 10 bottles of Primary Healing Potion and Primary Mana Potion that can be bought per day.

  This made Xiao Yu extremely depressed, and another round of scolding XXOO, could only send Grom every day to buy ten in that place, and then store them in the beast tribe's cave.

  However, when the medicine was sprinkled on the heavily injured beast tribe soldiers, the miraculous healing effect made Xiao Yu immediately forget all his complaints.

  Almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, those wounds healed immediately, although the body was still very weak, but those beastmen soldiers were clearly unscathed.

  "This is simply the elixir of life! If we sell it out, can we make a fortune, haha..." Xiao Yu became excited.

  Xiao Yu originally thought of opening another store for the human tribe, wouldn't that mean he could get 10 more bottles? However, soon after, he was informed by the system that the cooldown time for the same item is shared.

  This made Xiao Yu mutter discontentedly again.

  At level one, both human and beast stores seem to sell only these two items.

  After buying these things, Xiao Yu still had more than 2,000 merit points left, so he thought about researching the Beast Clan's catapult or the Elf Clan's blade chariot. This way, next time they defended the city, they would have heavy weapons.

  There are only over 2,000 merit points left, and only one can be researched. After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yu chose the Elf tribe's Blade Chariot. Because the Blade Chariot launches a huge crescent-shaped blade that produces intense rotation after being launched, it can directly cut a group of people in half. The visual impact is so NB, absolutely crushing the enemy's morale.

  After successfully developing it, Xiao Yu originally wanted to buy a hundred of them and put them on the city walls. No matter how many troops Karu came with, he wouldn't be afraid.

  Xiao Yu was informed again that first, his funds were insufficient and could only buy two. Second, the primary main base at level one could only have permission to own ten blade cars, no more could be produced.

  Xiao Yu scolded his mother again.

  However, these curses were all swallowed back into her belly after Xiao Yu came out.

  Because he tried out this sword's attacking power, it thoroughly shocked him stupid.

  The beastman soldier directly hugged a sixty-pound moon blade and put it on the blade car, then activated the trigger. After the huge moon blade rotated, it directly formed a giant silver disc like a flying saucer, and flew out with a whooshing sound...

  Within fifty meters, all trees were cut down at the waist.

  "My god, this is just a level one blade car, if it's upgraded later, it'll be even more awesome, I'm speechless." Xiao Yu was excited to the point of tears streaming down her face.

  Even if there were only ten of them, it would be enough for Karu's army to drink a pot.
