It was impossible to directly obtain a living animal through a long-distance transaction in the market. Yang Rui had only obtained the ownership of the Xiliang Inferior Horse. The real object would only be officially delivered a few days later. Of course, the delivery fee of 100 silver coins would be unavoidable.
Aside from the ten Western Liang Inferior Horses, Yang Rui also discovered several other valuable items in the trade list. These items included low-priced food, medicinal seeds, weapons, and more. There was also an item called Grade 8 Walnut Wood. Yang Rui very much wanted to buy it. However, due to the large quantity, the total price exceeded 30 Gold. It was not something Yang Rui could afford right now.
After weighing the pros and cons, Yang Rui finally bought a talisman:
"Good Teacher Medicine Talisman: Quantity 1, price 1000 silver coins, after tax."
Just by looking at the name, he knew that this talisman was probably made by the Path of Peace. However, it was a good item! Before the Yellow Turban Uprising, talismans from the Path of Peace were hard to come by. Moreover, they indeed had very strong special effects!
Compared to food, wood, and weapons, things like talismans were almost impossible to come by. It was very likely that they would come in handy under special circumstances! At least, Yang Rui knew one of its important uses. This was also the main reason why Yang Rui did not hesitate to spend money to buy the talisman.
After spending 2000 silver coins, the savings of the mountain village were almost completely squandered by Yang Rui! Without a reserve of money, he could only guard the high-end market that could be traded across the country and do nothing. Yang Rui could only hope that the sweet potato business of "First Fragrance" would be more popular, so that the sweet potatoes of the mountain village could sell well!
Due to the lack of money, Yang Rui could only temporarily put aside the other valuable items in the market. In the short term, only the system territory could buy these items. Yang Rui believed that as long as it was not a very special item, the circulation of the goods would not be too fast.
Yang Rui decided to explore the mountain bandits across the valley of the mountain village! In the past ten days or so, there had only been two cases of villagers "farming" in the mountain village, and only two people with special talents had appeared, and both of them had the most common talent of Elementary Commander!
The other industries were in a state of disrepair. Many buildings had been built, but they lacked the relevant skills to operate them. For example, the beginner's medical center, beginner's beast pen, beginner's blacksmith shop, and so on were all in the same situation. Yang Rui, apart from vigorously developing the sweet potato farming industry, seemed to have no other choice but to rely on the military.
Something worth mentioning was that Chen Ping and Chen Li, as well as the first batch of militia members, had all reached level 20 recently. Moreover, after learning basic sword techniques, training in the beginner barracks, and comprehending it several times, the two brothers, Chen Ping and Chen Li, had both successfully advanced to become Second Grade soldiers!
For a First Grade soldier to advance into a Second Grade soldier, training and understanding wasn't the most difficult part. The key was still the lack of basic skill books. People like the Big Mountain Village had only managed to find two basic sword techniques in the past month, even though they had been grinding at the bandit camps non-stop! If it weren't for the restriction of the skill book, there would be more than two Second Grade soldiers in the village!
No matter how difficult it was, a strong military force was the guarantee for the development of the territory! Since there was no way to increase the ranks of the soldiers on a large scale, then he had to find a way to increase the number of soldiers!
The number of militia members in the mountain village had already reached 90 people. Yang Rui used half a day to train and change 32 militia members and placed them in the inner valley. Among them were the two people with the talent of Elementary Commander, Wang Tao and Li Hong.
After that, Yang Rui transferred Chen Ping and 30 of the higher level militia members from the inner valley to the outpost of the outer valley. The 60 militia members in the inner valley were given to Wang Tao, who had just become a First Grade soldier, to lead, while the 30 militia members left at the outpost were led by Li Hong!
Yang Rui brought the two Second Grade soldiers, Chen Li and Chen Ping, and the 30 First Grade soldiers, and slowly made their way to the bandit camp.
According to Yang Rui's judgment, this bandit camp should be a Elementary Bandit Camp to a large extent. Otherwise, the mountain village under Wang Hai's leadership would not have been so fearless. If it was an Intermediate Bandit Camp, they could send out Sixth Grade soldiers at most. Exterminating a village would not be a problem at all.
However, Yang Rui and his group did indeed sneak over. Yang Rui was very clear that even if they were of the same level, the difference between a Bandit Camp and a Bandit Camp in the territory was like heaven and earth. It was normal for the Bandit Camp to be several times stronger than the Bandit Camp!
The Bandit Camp in the territory was mainly for the Bandit Camp to provide training and leveling for the Bandit Camp. The Bandit Camp was a completely different concept!
For example, the Bandit Camp opposite the mountain village. Although it was Elementary Bandit Camp like the Bandit Camp, Yang Rui believed that there would be many Second Grade soldiers in the Bandit Camp, and not just one like the Bandit Camp!
If he guessed correctly, it would be normal for Third Grade soldiers to appear in the Bandit Camp here!
After Yang Rui cleared out several First Grade bandits on the way to the Bandit Camp, he indeed encountered a group of five spearmen patrolling the foot of the mountain. Since there was a differentiation between the different types of soldiers, these spearmen were at least Second Grade soldiers!
"Short Spearmen: Level 25, Grade? … …
… … "
Although Yang Rui's level and Grade were lower than the other party and could not see the details of this group of spearmen, at Level 25, they could only be Second Grade soldiers! Third Grade soldiers were definitely above Level 30.
If it were only five Second Grade soldiers, Yang Rui's group of thirty would be able to deal with them. The old tactic. First, the two brothers Chen Li and Chen Ping each held back a Second Grade spearman. The remaining three spearmen were separated and surrounded by Yang Rui and the thirty First Grade militia. The difficulty of the next step was basically the same as clearing the Bandit Camp.
The result was needless to say. However, after the five spearmen fell, the ground flashed twice, indicating that two items had been dropped! Good stuff!
"Basic Spear Technique: Second Grade Soldier Skill Book. Allows First Grade Militia to upgrade to Second Grade Soldier. Required Construction: Beginner Barracks!"
"Short Spear: Normal Grade. Attack: 15-25. Level Requirement: 10. Durability: Basic Spear Technique is the same as Basic Blade Technique. They are both Second Grade Skill Books. Basically, it represents a spot for a Second Grade soldier. The only thing it lacks is the training and understanding in the Beginner Barracks!
Good stuff! With the relevant skill books, there would be no bottlenecks in advancing from First Grade to Second Grade!
As for the short spear, it was similar to the podao. Although it was a White Grade Equipment, it was currently in short supply. It was also not bad! 15-25 Attack was a whole 10 points higher than the podao. It lived up to its reputation as the Courage of a Hundred Soldiers!
Yang Rui hurriedly put the two items into his backpack. Apart from that, the money that had been dropped had also exceeded 1000 coppers! This alone was not something a Bandit Camp could achieve.
It was comparable!
