After confirming the location and shape of the Arc de Triomphe, the construction of the Arc de Triomphe began. Other than checking on the progress every day, Suhlen went to the training grounds of the Formation Breaker outside the city.
After a week of training, the Spear Guards were ready to try to fuse with the ball of light of the Formation Breaker. The four Spear Guards were sitting cross-legged in a quiet room. Suhlen took out the ball of light from the Tiger Tally and chose to fuse with it.
After the fusion began, the virtual images of the four Spear Guards appeared in front of his eyes. There was a progress bar above their heads, showing that they were in the process of fusion. Looking at the progress bar, it would take at least an hour for the fusion to complete. Suhlen took out a bottle of rum and poured a cup. He drank as he waited for the fusion result.
The fusion process did not go well. Ten minutes after it started, one of the Spear Guard's virtual images showed that the fusion had failed. The ball of light left the guard's body and returned to the tiger tally. Although Su Lun was prepared for this, he was still upset that one of the guards had been eliminated in less than ten minutes.
The fusion continued. The remaining three Spear Guards all lasted for half an hour. Then, two of them also showed that the fusion had failed not long after. In the end, only one Spear Guard successfully fused with the ball of light of the Formation Breaker and became a soldier of the Formation Breaker.
[Formation Breaker: The number of people at the front is 1700. After a cruel selection from the elite Spear Guards, they successfully become soldiers of the Formation Breaker. They have a stronger body and attack power. 'The determination to break through the enemy lines, death without life.']
The soldiers of the Formation Breaker had many talents, including strength, tenacity, iron bones, agility and other basic talents. There was also an additional talent of the Formation Breaker: Formation Breaker.
[Formation Breaker: The determination to break through the enemy lines, death without life. The soldiers of the Formation Breaker are not affected by morale. Defense increased by 50%, attack increased by 20%. Additional effect: Fight to the death. Fight to the death: As long as the commander does not give the order to surrender, the Formation Breaker will fight to the last soldier. After activating the fight to the death, the soldiers of the Formation Breaker will have their attack power increased and their defense lowered.]
After successfully advancing to the Formation Breaker, Suhlen still needed to give them new equipment. According to the requirements of the system, all soldiers of the Formation Breaker needed to be equipped with full body armor. Their weapons were either spears or swords. They also needed to be equipped with a shield. At the same time, all soldiers of the Formation Breaker were equipped with crossbows.
It could be said that the soldiers of the Formation Breaker were much better than the soldiers before. Right now there was only one Capture Barracks soldier, and the equipment was easy to deal with. However, once the number of [Capture Barracks] increased, these equipment would become a huge expense.
Fortunately, the growth of the Capture Barracks was slow and Suhlen had enough time to prepare.
After successfully advancing to the Formation Breaker, Suhlen appointed the soldier of the Formation Breaker as the commander of the spearmen, and the other Spear Imperial Guards as the deputy commanders. Suhlen planned to expand the number of spearmen to three thousand.
In fact, according to the standards of the Kingdom of Florence, it wasn't difficult to pull up tens of thousands of spearmen. The Kingdom of Florence only needed to send out a spear and train it to become a spearman. The spearmen in Northern Town could be called elites after going through strict training.
Florence's spearmen were basically cannon fodder. The North Town City did not have that many people to expend, so the army of the North Town City had no choice but to recruit elite soldiers.
After successfully advancing to the Formation Breaker, Suhlen came out of the town alone. He still had a reinforcement order in his hand that had not been used. Suhlen was going to wait until the Formation Breaker finished training before using it.
Last time when he used the reinforcement order, he had a guess in his heart. This was why he waited until now. Coming out of Northern Town City, Suhlen found an open environment and then took out the reinforcement order to use it.
A light flashed, and the reinforcement order disappeared. Then a system prompt sounded in his ear.
"Ding! The host has used the reinforcement order, a group of soldiers is about to arrive. "
A space door opened, and then a group of soldiers came out of the space door. The effect was the same as last time when he used the reinforcement order. This time, what appeared in front of him was also a war spirit wearing armor and holding weapons.
What made Suhlen even more ecstatic was that in addition to the two groups of forty spearmen and archers, there was also a soldier wearing heavy armor, holding a spear and a shield, with a crossbow and a long sword at his waist. Compared to the soldiers around him, this soldier was clearly stronger by more than one level.
"Formation Breaker! This time we really made a big profit! "Suhlen said excitedly.
Last time when he used the reinforcement order, Suhlen only recruited spearmen and archers. At that time, he had the spearman commander seal and the archer commander seal that he had obtained later. At that time, he had already guessed. Now that he had obtained the commander seal of the Formation Breaker, he had successfully recruited the Formation Breaker. After using the reinforcement order, he really had recruited a soldier of the Formation Breaker.
After these otherworldly spirits all came out of the space door, they directly lined up. The leading soldier of the Formation Breaker took a step forward. "General, the spearman squad and archer squad have all arrived."
Suhlen who already knew the details of these soldiers nodded, and then brought these soldiers back to Northern Town City.
.....
Because of the addition of the centaurs, Suhlen had specially set aside an area in Northern Town City for them to live in. At the same time, Suhlen had already prepared to build a town 50 li east of Northern Town City. This area had flat terrain and lush water plants. It was very suitable for grazing. Building a city here was specially for the centaurs to graze and live in.
The centaur tribe used to live by water plants, but after joining Northern Town City, these centaurs would become semi-nomadic. After the annual harvest in Northern Town City, the leftover stems and leaves would be mixed with some grain and husks to be used as fodder for breeding. The centaur tribe would use the city that they were going to build as the center to carry out nomadic breeding.
This semi-nomadic and semi-residential breeding method could raise more livestock, and it could also reduce the mortality rate of the livestock in winter. In the past, the centaur tribe would have large amounts of livestock die every winter because of the cold and lack of food. After changing their nomadic lifestyle, they would graze by water plants during the summer and return to the city after the winter was covered by ice and snow.
In the city, there would be a large number of houses with good thermal insulation. At the same time, there would be a large amount of green fodder stored. In this way, not only would the livestock not die, they would even gain weight. Northern Town City was undergoing construction every day, and the soldiers were undergoing strict training. With such a large amount of exercise, they would have to eat some meat every day.
It could be said that Northern Town City's food consumption was very high. The previously stored jerky and salted fish had almost been used up. Now that the centaurs had joined, Northern Town City's meat supply would no longer be tight. After the centaurs were supplied with meat, they would also receive large amounts of other living materials.
After the centaurs joined Northern Town City, Suhlen clearly understood their living standards. They could only make some crude ironware, and their cloth was also inferior sackcloth. When worn, they would prick the skin. They only had salt for seasoning, and food was also very scarce. Even tea leaves were only sold by Fiery Bird in recent years.
As for tea leaves, the centaurs were very fond of them. The centaurs, who ate meat all year round, needed tea leaves to relieve grease and aid digestion. Although they now had Northern Town City to provide food, their fondness for tea leaves had never changed.
The climate in the north wasn't suitable for tea leaves to grow. The tea leaves of Calt City were also sold from the south. In this era, the nobles liked to add milk and honey to their tea leaves. Now that they had Northern Town City's white sugar, they added white sugar to make tea that was very similar to the milk tea Suhlen drank in his previous world. However, it tasted better than the milk tea in his previous world. At least the milk here was very pure.
After the centaurs joined Northern Town City, Suhlen placed a large number of orders for tea leaves. The price of tea leaves in the Florentine Kingdom was considered cheap, but in the Northern Wastelands, the price would increase by at least 50%.
If they were sold to the centaur tribe from before, the price would be doubled. Even so, Northern Town City had to fork out a sum of money to buy tea leaves every month.
After the centaurs joined Northern Town City, their quality of life improved by two or three levels. They didn't have to wear those prickly sackcloth, they didn't have to sleep in the open every day, tea leaves were no longer a luxury, and their food was much more sumptuous.
When the centaurs first joined Northern Town City, their loyalty was between 65 and 70. After a week, the centaurs' loyalty had reached 75. Many centaurs' loyalty had even exceeded 80.
At their peak, the centaur tribe had close to 10,000 people. After a great battle, they had less than 4,000. Many of the centaurs had died. Now, most of the centaurs were women and children. There were less than 1,000 adult males.
Suhlen's original plan was to recruit 1,000 centaurs to form a heavy cavalry team and a light cavalry team. This way, all the centaurs' youths would be recruited. Of course, Suhlen couldn't do that.
After considering the centaurs' situation, he changed the recruitment to 400. 200 heavy cavalry and 200 light cavalry. Suhlen planned to equip the centaurs with full sets of armor. It wasn't the normal armor from before. It was the heavy armor from the Florentine Kingdom's Red Dragon Heavy Cavalry.
200 sets of heavy armor for the centaurs were not cheap. Each set of armor weighed close to 200 kilograms. 200 sets of armor would cost at least 40,000 kilograms of iron. However, the heavy cavalry's destructive power was shocking. Their charging ability was much stronger than human heavy cavalry.
Of course, the Centaurs would probably only be ranked in the top five when it came to the Heavy Cavalry with the strongest charging ability. The Ground Dragon Heavy Cavalry would be ranked first. Those were the true steel tanks. The Ground Dragon Heavy Cavalry was a type of SemiDragon. No other heavy cavalry could compare to the Ground Dragon Heavy Cavalry in terms of weight and charging ability. Not to mention, some Ground Dragons even inherited Dragon Breath.
However, the number of Earth Dragon Heavy Cavalry was very small. There were less than 200 of them, but no one dared to underestimate them.
