LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 43 Swordsman
Hi, Zhao Ritian, I didn't expect you to come here so soon. It seems that you are doing 'big business' in the main world.
This time, Zhao Ritian was still stopped outside the mercenary camp, and it was still the original five people who blocked the way, one Cole who wished to live in a steel shell, and four horsemen with shabby equipment...
From this obvious difference in treatment, we can also see where the magic stone gold coins earned by the mercenary camp ended up...
Wang Ziming knew that the intelligent creatures in the different space would know the existence of the real world after they found the leader of the God's Favored One. This was also the reason why Chalak clamored to go to the real world when he first saw Zhao Ritian.
Facts have proved that Charak's decision was correct. In just one day, Charak was promoted from a 2nd-tier robber leader to a 3rd-tier robber leader!
Of course it's a big deal. If you're lucky, I might empty out your mercenary camp next time I come over.
Zhao Ritian replied proudly.
Oh? Then I don't know how many people and what ranks of mercenaries the god-favored person behind you plans to hire this time?
If you want elite cavalry, I suggest hiring Swedish pistol cavalry. Their armor is the thickest among Swedish mercenaries. Whether it is marksmanship or melee ability, they are quite reliable. They can ride, shoot, slash, and charge immediately. , an all-round unit with absolute preservation of value!
If he is promoted to a senior Swedish pistol cavalry, he will be directly promoted to the peak of the 4th rank, and he can be called the first person below the 5th rank!
Cole spared no effort to sell.
The cost of hiring 10 Swedish pistol cavalry is 4 magic stone gold coins, and the cost of hiring 10 first-tier soldiers is only 1 magic stone gold coin. Cole naturally hopes that the gods behind Zhao Ritian will pick the most expensive ones!
Cole is actually just the boss of an intermediary, and the employment fee is basically his own profit, while those mercenaries earn employment wages, which require Wang Ziming to pay extra.
Except for the Swedish town militia of Tier 1, mercenaries of Tier 2 and above are all paid a monthly salary!
That's right, a real mercenary only needs a monthly salary, not a weekly salary. One can imagine how high Chalak asked Wang Ziming at the beginning!
This is also a major reason why Wang Ziming is extremely dissatisfied with Charak!
Captain Cole, we are now in a mountainous terrain, and cavalry is not suitable for our current battle.
Zhao Ritian, who was reminded by Wang Ziming, replied.
This is easy to handle. I have the best Swedish guard musketeers here for infantry. They are the most elite musketeers even in the regular Swedish army. They are generally the guards of Swedish generals and parliamentarians. They use high-quality The Mickel musket, a new type of flint-fired musket, is superior to the arquebus in terms of reloading speed and shooting accuracy.
In addition, each of the Swedish guard musketeers has undergone strict fencing training and has rich practical experience. Even if the enemy is close, the Swedish guard musketeers can use their long swords to defend their glory!
They are equivalent to Tier 3 soldiers. The employment price is 3 gold coins for 10 people, and the monthly salary is 2 gold coins.
Don't worry, the monthly salary and employment price of mercenaries of the same rank are the same with me.
Is there any infantry that is purely close combat? I mean the kind that is fully armored.
After witnessing the fighting methods of demonized goblins, Wang Ziming urgently needs a group of real professional hand-to-hand combat units. After all, the main world is still in the era of front-loading guns, and the shooting frequency is ultimately inferior to the charging speed of demonized goblins. In addition, demonized creatures have no morale at all, as long as there are enough numbers, they will rush up to fight hand-to-hand with bullets...
The people under Charak have been exhausted, so Wang Ziming urgently needs a group of melee melee mercenaries, otherwise Li Feiyan will have to fight desperately with the Tomahawk militia...
Although the Tomahawk Militia is a melee combat unit, they are all Tier 1 soldiers without armor. Even fighting with Tier 1 Demonic Goblins will cause losses, let alone encountering Tier 2 Demonic Goblin Warriors and Tier 3 Demonic Goblins. Demonized Goblin leader!
Wang Ziming only has 20 Tomahawk militiamen, he can't afford to die...
Of course, the best hand-to-hand unit to deal with demonized creatures is the heavy infantry with a full body of iron, and it is best to wear a bear like Cole in front of you!
Wang Ziming knew that those who were qualified to wear heavy armor and fight flexibly in the mercenary camp must not be rank one or two. As long as they could reach rank three, they would not have any in the battle against demonized goblins. Too much damage can take on the heavy responsibility of anti-line hand-to-hand soldiers.
Even in Wang Ziming's eyes, anti-line melee soldiers are more useful than the Swedish guard musketeers introduced by Cole. The Mikley musket is just an early flintlock gun. Since the bolt originally had no safety device, even when loading ammunition You need to be careful not to touch the trigger, otherwise it is easy to pull the trigger and blast yourself out of the hole with the ammunition...
Of course, for a skilled Swedish guard musketeer, this kind of oolong incident will basically not happen, but how can the Mikley musket compare with the Longzheng rifle?
As for the Swedish guard musketeer, his melee swordsmanship is good, and it's nothing at all among Tier 3 professionals.
However, the most fundamental reason is that Wang Ziming is too poor...
With the limited resources of magic stone gold coins, Wang Ziming still prefers to hire a group of professional hand-to-hand heavy infantry first.
Of course there is. Although muskets have been popularized, the final result of the battle must be separated in hand-to-hand combat. Soldiers who are proficient in hand-to-hand combat have always been the elite soldiers that countries focus on training.
For example, the third-tier Swedish swordsmen, they wear standard full-body plate armor, which is tightly wrapped from head to toe. Although the protection is a little worse than that of the Swedish pistol cavalry, it is still enough for ordinary swords to chop. break defense.
Each of them is a professional fighter who is proficient in two-handed swords. In their combat lexicon, there is only the word attack!
Swedish swordsmen are definitely the most powerful hoplites of the Five Kingdoms (there are only 5 nations in Mount \u0026 Blade Fire and Sword games)!
Their employment fee and monthly salary are the same as those of the Swedish guard musketeers. If you are willing to promote them to Swedish senior swordsmen, you will get a group of 4th-level walking 'fortresses' - no less than the full body armor of the Swedish pistol cavalry, and Stronger attack power!
In addition to the well-received Swedish swordsmen, I have a group of swordsmen from Scotland. Even I have to admit that their two-handed swords are more flexible than the Swedish swordsmen.
It's a pity that this is their only advantage. Except for this point, the Scottish swordsmen may only have their Scottish bagpipes. In terms of armor, they can't compare with our Swedish swordsmen!
If the god behind you is a person who likes music and needs a group of flexible two-handed swordsmen, you can consider Scottish swordsmen, but their price will not be the same as Swedish swordsmen.
