The weather was still hot after autumn. In the wilderness outside the territory, thousands of goblins, kobolds, and gnolls were repairing the earth under the sun. There were also dozens of supervisors of different races standing next to them. Whenever they saw someone slacking off, they would immediately whip them.
Su Lun was lying leisurely on a recliner under a big tree, wearing a pair of black crystal sunglasses on the bridge of his nose. There was a glass of freshly squeezed juice on the small table next to him. Behind him, Vacuum Cleaner No. 1 and Vacuum Cleaner No. 2 were like two small fans with great power, blowing the wind with a whooshing sound. In this autumn sun, they brought a gust of cool breeze.
On the other side of the field that had already been cultivated, a group of strong women and children were driving the cows to plow the field. On the other side of the city wall, there was fertile black soil on the banks of the Red Sand River. About 2,000 acres of land had already been cultivated. According to the current progress, it would take at most half a month to cultivate all 5,000 acres of potatoes.
"Ding! The construction of the barracks field is complete! Importing data! Importing the militia training content! Importing the infantry training content. Importing the archer training content … Data importing progress 10%, 20%, 30% … "
Su Lun was slightly taken aback by the sudden sound of the system notification.
The barracks field was already completed? Suhlen quickly opened the system interface to check.
[Barracks Drill Ground: The Barracks Drill Ground trains qualified soldiers for the territory. Every soldier trained here is a qualified warrior. They are important personnel in the defense of the territory and have undergone rigorous military training. They only need to go through a period of training to become elite soldiers. Soldiers are the foundation of a lord's rule. (Weapon Proficiency + 2, Training Time reduced by 20%, Discipline + 2, Morale + 15, Territory Stability + 15)]
Looking at the barracks' attributes, Suhlen was secretly happy. With the barracks, he could continue to train qualified soldiers. Of course, the prerequisite was that he had enough money and territory. Training soldiers required money.
Currently, the barracks in the territory could only train three types of soldiers. One was the barbarian soldiers, the other was the spearman, and the last was the archer. Among them, the Lancers were the least expensive, with only one Kinnar. The Barbarians required three Kinnar, and the Archers required two Kinnar.
As for Cavalry, Crossbowmen, and Heavy Infantry, they were all unlocked. The easiest way to unlock these troop classes was to obtain the corresponding troop class's Commander's Seal. If there was no Commander's Seal, then recruit a hero who could train this troop class. Of course, they could only recruit ordinary soldiers. As for those special soldiers, they needed a Commander's Seal to train them.
Suhlen also wanted to form a powerful knight order, but based on the current situation, this goal was still very far away.
They arrived at the military camp, which was located on the west side of the territory outside the city wall. The city wall that Suhlen was currently building was actually the inner city of the city. When the territory population increased next year, the outer city and outer city walls would be officially built. The inner city of Suhlen was prepared to be his private land.
The area of the military camp was not small. It was divided into barracks, warehouses, training grounds, and drill grounds. The training grounds and drill grounds took up 70% of the total area of the military camp.
Currently, there were only some archery targets and straw dummies in the training grounds. There were also some training weapons and equipment.
An army formed by newly recruited freedmen would not be recognized by the system. Only those who were strong would be recognized, such as the Barbarians. When freedmen formed an army, they would still be considered commoners, and only after a period of training could they become militia. But once they had a military camp and went through the training, they would directly skip the militia and become new soldiers.
Although the military camp was successfully built, Suhlen did not recruit soldiers. The territory's population was too small. Other than the Barbarians, there were only mercenaries. If he wanted to train soldiers, he would have to wait for the slaves that Zeon brought back from Calt City.
After inspecting the military camp, Suhlen did not go back to rest. Instead, he went to the smithy. In the last battle with the Storm Tiger, his weapon was damaged. Now, he needed a new one.
Because he was very strong, his weapon had to be sturdy and durable. Take the spear for example. A spear made of ironwood was too light in his hands. Therefore, he used an iron spear. However, even an iron spear could not withstand his destruction.
As for why he did not use other weapons, it was because the spear was cool. Actually, it was because of the system's template. Only by using a spear could he unleash the greatest power. As for the Luck E of the spearmen, Suhlen did not feel it at all. In fact, his luck was not bad. After all, he had inherited Big Brother Yun's template.
How did the saying go again? The world's spearmen had a stone of luck. Zilong alone had twelve stones, while the rest of the spearmen had two stones. Suhlen now had twelve stones of luck.
The spearmen's Luck E was based on facts. Looking through historical records and classical works, he realized that most of the spearmen in history did not have good endings.
The Marquis of Huaiyin, Han Xin, was conferred the title of Marquis. He received an imperial edict but was ignored by heaven and earth. In the end, he was beaten to death. The Little Conqueror, Sun Ce, was ambushed by a few thieves. He was seriously injured and died of an illness. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he was cursed to death by the demon Yu Ji. The Five Tiger General, Ma Chao, died of an illness in his prime. The Five Tiger General, Zhang Fei, was stabbed in the back by his subordinates. His head was chopped off while he was sleeping. In the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Luo Cheng fell into a trap and was pierced through the heart by thousands of arrows.
The Yang Family of Skywave Prefecture, the Yang Family's spearmanship was unparalleled in the world. However, almost no one in the family had a good ending. The Leopard Head, Lin Chong, was exhausted and his wife and children were separated. In the end, he died of humiliation in the Six Harmonies Pagoda. Xu Ning, the leader of the first group of people to worship heaven on the way to Liangshan Lake. The national hero, Yue Fei, was killed by Wanyan Gou and Qin Hui.
These living examples told us that the spearmen's Luck was really low. Looking at Zhao Zilong, who had fought countless battles in his life and lived for more than eighty years without any illness or disaster, his ending was much better than theirs. It was a miracle that he could save his master alone. "Forty-two years of life, Zilong has shown his prowess."
Therefore, Big Brother Yun's Luck was based on history.
If he wanted to forge a weapon for himself, he naturally had to use the best materials possible. The best material in the blacksmith's shop was the Tempered Iron Essence. In addition to the Tempered Iron Essence, Suhlen also took out the two pieces of Iron Essence that were rewarded by the system. These two pieces of Iron Essence were much better than the Tempered Iron Essence in the blacksmith's shop.
If not for the fact that he did not have enough Iron Essence to forge a spear, Suhlen would have used all of it. Now, he could only use a mixture of Tempered Iron Essence.
