Chapter six hundred and ninety second, the best policy(1/2)
Now the perspective turns back to Luo Ji.
In the blink of an eye, the climate of civilizations in all worlds has gradually become hotter.
Apparently it's summer again.
During this period, Luo Ji had been staying in his palace in Kamikaze City to arrange various affairs in the Elf Province.
It's not like I have a moment's leisure.
During this period, with the joint efforts of Luo Ji and Zhang William, a large number of human traders poured into the Elf Province.
Taverns, teahouses, restaurants, jade jewelry stores.
In a short period of time, a large number of human shops appeared in several large cities in the Elf Province.
It can be considered that trade circulation has been initially established.
At the same time, Luo Ji also transferred a large number of human mining workers.
Let them fully exploit the two iron mines in the elven province.
At the same time, he also began to order craftsmen to forge appropriate amounts of iron tools.
Most of the iron ore can only be smelted into iron ingots.
In Luo Ji's opinion, he could start making steel within a few years.
Nowadays, iron tools are forged in large quantities, which feels like a waste of manpower.
Anyway, the current battle at this level can be fully handled with bronze weapons, so there is no panic at all.
Other than that, it takes a while.
At present, he has almost counted the strength of the elves' troops.
After all, I had a bloody battle with him before.
The casualties among the elves were quite high.
The total strength of an entire elf province was gathered together, rounded up, and barely came to 12,000.
At the same time, in detail, in terms of physical fitness alone, the elves are slightly weaker than the humans.
So their melee infantry is not very powerful.
The advantages are concentrated in the back row and field battles.
It goes without saying that there are three major professions in the back row: Elf Archer, Elf Mage and Elf Priest.
The elves who are good at fighting in the wild are another special profession of the elves, the elf ranger.
Although they also use bows and arrows, they just look the same.
In fact, Elf Rangers and Elf Archers are completely different from their training methods to weapons and equipment.
Let’s not talk about training methods, let’s just talk about weapons and equipment.
The elven archers in the back row use strong bows with longer range and more power.
The Elf Ranger uses a recurve bow that has a relatively average range and power, but is more flexible and can perform rapid bursts of fire in a short period of time.
This change alone has already determined that their fighting styles are completely different.
Let’s get back to the point.
Luo Ji didn't care that the elves' melee troops were weak.
There are orc infantry and human infantry in his civilization of all realms.
If the selection was based on merit, the infantry troops would not be able to take the turn of the elves at all.
Therefore, after confirming the advantages and disadvantages of the arms.
Of course, Luo Ji gave priority to unlocking the "Elf Archer" and "Elf Ranger", two units that are good at using bows and arrows, in the Elf Civilization Development Panel.
After all, the elves really have racial talent when it comes to using bows and arrows.
Even Zhang William himself admitted it.
When recruiting troops among the elves, it is much faster to recruit archers than to recruit melee infantry.
Compared with the melee infantry who are relatively average in strength.
Of course, Luo Ji also wanted more powerful backline troops.
Therefore, the basic principle of recruiting soldiers in the elven provinces is...
If you have melee infantry, take it. If you don't have it, forget about it.
If it's not enough, use their human infantry or orc infantry to top it up.
As for those powerful back-row units, of course, there are as many recruits as there are.
Not too much at all.
Moreover, this approach has another advantage.
That is, the melee troops within the elves will be greatly reduced.
After all, the elves had just been annexed by him.
William Zhang, who knows his position clearly, is naturally honest.
But the group of elves under his command who don't understand the situation may not be honest.
And after Luo Ji had done this in advance.
Even if there are some elves who are dissatisfied with his rule and want to cause some trouble.
What can a group of squishy soldiers do?
He can suppress it with a flip of his hand.
Luo Ji didn't know if Zhang William saw what he meant.
Maybe you can see it, maybe not.
But it doesn't matter.
Faced with Luo Ji's order, his only request was that he not want the orcs!
I don’t know if it was influenced by the nature of the elves.
They hated the orcs from the bottom of their hearts, who were rude and barbaric and had poor hygiene.
Of course, the green goblins weren't much better either.
After all, as soon as Zhang William came over, he almost got into a fight with Gawain, the Goblin King.
This is enough to show that the image of goblins does not fit in well with the aesthetics of their elves.
In this way, it is probably difficult for these three races to get along harmoniously.
In comparison, the human race is quite acceptable.
In this regard, Luo Ji certainly would not deliberately make Zhang William unhappy.
If an orc infantry unit is brought over, if something happens, he won't be the one with the headache?
With this idea in mind, Luo Ji simply mobilized another human army under his command and entered the Elf Province to garrison it.
By the way, the current closeness of the elves to the various races in the civilization of all realms is...
Human:2
Orcs:0
Goblins:0
As for the three major tribes, including humans, their closeness to the elves is...
Human:3
Orcs:0
Goblins:0
With the blessing of the "race coexistence" effect of the civilizations of all worlds, the intimacy between the three races of orcs, goblins and elves is as close as a zero.
This was really a number that made him feel sick to his stomach.
More importantly, Luo Ji had no expectations of changing this situation.
It is the nature of the elves to hate sloppy, rude, and ugly people.
This concept is difficult to change.
This is just like he can't ask the goblins to be like warriors, wearing a suit of armor and charging on the battlefield.
In comparison, the human race and the elves are relatively harmonious.
The intimacy between the human race and the elves has reached three points, which is close to the level of friendship.
This has something to do with the fact that the elves are all handsome men and beautiful women.
To be continued...
