Others say that Geralt is currently "recruiting troops"...
This statement must be an exaggeration. After all, he is a small "soldier", a temporary appointee, and does not have a mountain of gold or silver to back him up. How can he become a soldier? But it basically covers the two things Liu Yifei is doing at the moment.
Things - Recruiting men and leasing horses.
Yes, it’s “recruiting”, not “recruiting”!
After all, Liu Yifei is still almost a white man, with no fiefdom and no general position. What kind of soldiers can he recruit?
Even if Liu Yifei himself, who is mentally retarded, does not speak clearly and is caught and held accountable, even though he is famous throughout the capital and is a rare genius in the kingdom, he will still be stripped of his skin.
So when communicating with families such as Feizat, Liu Yifei made it very clear that he was just "recruiting people" and just recruiting ordinary assistants... It was just that the requirements of his "assistant" were a little clearer, and he needed to "at least
"It's just the power of self-preservation"...
Well... a genius who is said to be able to defeat fourth-level demons independently on the battlefield of the rebel army, and can also fight back and forth with the demon warriors on the opposite side, requires "second-level" Mao Shang to be considered "able to protect himself."
"Although it's a bit excessive, it doesn't seem to be unacceptable?
So in the end, Feizat and other small and medium-sized nobles and merchants agreed to "sponsor" some of Geralt's manpower. After all, in exchange, the other party agreed to provide more quotas of high-quality equipment, which is still very good~
As for whether these nobles want to plant some spies around each other, that's a matter of opinion. Anyway, the other party doesn't seem to care about this very much, so how can each family expose these dirty things secretly?
While the news of "recruiting" spread, Liu Yifei was also leasing horses - of course, it would be better if there are retired war horses~
It's a pity that crossbows, war horses, and powerful magic props have always been strategic materials controlled by the state. Not to mention a newbie like Liu Yifei, even the nobles big and small are jealous!
After all, these things are almost all ready-made combat power. Even the second-level resources, such as old and retired war horses, high-quality weapons and so on, are robbed at a price and have no market. Otherwise, Liu Yifei can stably produce high-quality products.
How come weapons are so sought after by Feizat and other families?
Even retired war horses like the "Instructor" on the big map were hard to find, so Liu Yifei finally had to turn to the power of horses in the market - of course, there was no need to buy these things, just rent them and use them.
And as for what it’s for…
Naturally, he will train the people he will recruit in riding and driving skills!
Liu Yifei wouldn't expect these cargo-pulling horses to help people practice cavalry charges on the battlefield, but at least they had to get used to the bumps and undulations on the horse's back.
Because in Liu Yifei's plan, his men must form a flexible team with high mobility as soon as possible.
Even if you don't necessarily have the proficiency with swords and horses like a "Ranger", you must at least have the ability to switch to maneuver. At worst, we can get on the horse and rush on, but it's okay to dismount and then form a formation to kill~
In this way, Liu Yifei's previous recruitment requirement that at least "second-level" professionals must start becomes particularly important - after all, the horses are not ordinary goods, and usually even the pack horses for pulling goods are better than ordinary ones.
Therefore, in today's Erathia, except for the possible gathering of a large number of riders in the army, most people in the ordinary market are only accustomed to taking the 11th bus.
And for a farmer who has no strength to tie a chicken, learning to ride a horse will definitely not be done quickly and conveniently by a professional, or even a second-level professional. Regardless of anything else, the strong physical fitness of the professional can withstand more riding.
The advantages of long-term and more intense tossing are not comparable to ordinary people...
It's just that the scene of leading a group of "veteran greasers" riding various old motley horses "whistling past" outside the city has gradually become a joke among some people in Standwick, and even secretly there are various
Unpleasant rumors are quietly blowing~
After all, although Geralt was very popular some time ago, how could the land of the royal capital tolerate a mud-footed person roaming around wantonly?
In the eyes of some powerful people who seem to have some ability, but whose ability is not very great and cannot learn more about Geralt's background, "Geralt"'s incompetence is extremely dazzling.
Even though the royal family intervened in the process, some nobles bowed their heads, and even regarded him as a "collaborator", these things not only did not allow those with higher eyes to calm down and ponder the extraordinary qualities of Geralt.
On the contrary, after the limelight passed, all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred started...
Now we see that Geralt is doing some inexplicable and weird things, isn't he just taking the opportunity to laugh and ridicule behind his back?
Not to mention outsiders, even those "underlings" with complicated origins may have all kinds of yin and yang behind their backs——
After all, the "second level" level is neither embarrassing nor embarrassing, let's say weak... That must be fake. Compared with ordinary people, the first level entry level has about "the strength of one and a half people", and the second level entry level is even more "unworthy"
"Compared with cattle and horses"!
With a small human body, he has developed the strength of an ox and a horse, and he has the flexibility and agility of a human body, and has more potential for growth in the future, coupled with the power of weapons and armor... "Professionals" are indeed ordinary people.
The "monster" in your eyes.
What Geralt requires is second-level veterans and masters. These people are core guards even in some small noble families or large and small caravans, and even exist at the level of guard captains.
How can it be considered "weak"?
But on the other hand, if ordinary people want to train themselves to this level step by step, it is impossible to do it overnight.
Ordinary people who have enough food all day long (this is very difficult for those at the bottom of the current society) and train diligently can basically enter the level in half a year. Those with extraordinary talents may even have extraordinary abilities before they are adults.
force……
But if you want to consolidate yourself at the first level, or even step into the second level, it is not that simple~
In the Erathian army, which has abundant logistics supplies and good training intensity, this cycle is probably set to two to five years - but one thing to note is that Erathia's military formation level is just like the skills within the kingdom.
The evaluation is average and there is some "moisture" in it.
What are the second-tier troops of the Kingdom of Erathia?
That's a crossbowman!!!
And what is the core of the crossbow?
Is it the soldier’s own qualities that make him so strong?
No!! What really matters is the crossbow in his hand!!!
Don't underestimate a small set of crossbows. In fact, what is behind it is a complex and sophisticated kingdom-level production process, as well as the countless lives paid for it in the history of Erathia!
In the long history of the Kingdom of Erathia, how often have there been disputes even within the Alliance of Light?
After all, this "alliance" thing is just that. It's not a life-and-death enemy anyway. It's profitable. Everyone laughed and sat down to share the cake. When they couldn't agree, they cursed, and the bastard lifted the table when he picked up the guy.
Not a few either~
After fighting too much, the humans of Erathia finally discovered their own shortcomings in the characteristics of the "group". They were no longer strong enough to defeat the barbarian orcs of Clorod, and they could not catch up with those in the Tularion Great Forest.
The pointed-eared elves, even more so than magicians, were swung away by mages, magicians, demons, etc., and even the taillights of the cars were invisible...
In the end, Erathia came up with the idea that since I'm not as good as you at everything, I might as well learn everything from you!
Learn to strengthen yourself, work hard, learn to sum up experience, accumulate martial arts, learn to be a cow and a horse in exchange for secret knowledge... At the same time, we are deeply cultivating productivity internally, farming and mining like crazy, accumulating resources, and feeding ourselves back...
…
Finally, human beings risked their lives and tortured themselves, and finally found a strange way to overtake on the outside - that is, heavy "work"!
From Erathia's point of view, since I can't defeat orcs purely in terms of human power, then I will introduce animal power and horse power! So Erathia's army has a griffon unit, and even a specialized griffin taming family.
As a result, the "Knight" army combines all the best of Erathia's talents, armor, and horses!
With the power of mortals, the weapons of mortals, and the beasts of mortals combined into one, he boldly dared to charge against the legendary creatures, and the reputation of the human knights spread far and wide~!
And in the process of the evolution and progress of social forces, the "crossbow" came into being~
The emergence of this object has fundamentally reversed the natural weakness of human beings in "shooting" compared to foreign races, and to a certain extent eliminated the flaw of human beings' own physical weakness - because even a new recruit who has just joined the army is still
Being able to easily press the blade of the crossbow bolt to activate it, the only problem is that the recruits are not very good at loading the crossbow bolts later...
Therefore, the definition of "second-level army formation takes two to five years" in the Erathian army refers to a recruit who has just joined the army and fully learned how to use a crossbow, and after training, he can quickly string the crossbow and aim and fire.
The time to wait for the training content is two to five years, and then you can become an army.
The "second-level" troops trained in this way are indeed more lethal than the regular second-level creatures of other races in other kingdoms. After all, the lethality of crossbow arrows within the effective range is even stronger than that of bows of the same level.
of.
At the same time, the training period of this crossbow soldier is not long. Compared with other races, the training and strengthening time of the talented beasts is about the same. It can truly make up for the huge disadvantages of human beings in the natural race... The only fly in the ointment is,
That is, crossbows must be fully supplied by social productive forces, and they do cost a lot of money...
But as far as the country is concerned, are any problems that can be solved with money considered a problem?
Those holes that need to be filled with endless flesh and blood are the real pits!!!
But if we completely break away from this set of "shortcuts" created by the Erathian army and allow an ordinary person to train and strengthen honestly, how long will it take to open the door to the second-level standard?
Well... if an ordinary person works hard on his own, this cycle may take ten years... Moreover, Liu Yifei's subordinates are still looking for good players in the second level, not those newcomers to the second level who are like raw melons and eggs...
This almost naturally determines that Liu Yifei's subordinates must be "veterans" in their thirties or even older!
These people are either veterans who come to spend money after retiring from the army, or they are old mercenaries who have reached a certain age and cannot see the hope of knocking on the third-level (intermediate) door, so they want to hang out.
Drink money and stuff like that...
If it was really that kind of potential seed that was young and had a promising future, how could those nobles and merchants be willing to give Liu Yifei their money?
I am not very ambitious in myself, I just want to live one day at a time. At the same time, I am much older than Liu Yifei, my employer. Therefore, even if I become Liu Yifei's subordinate, how much respect will these bastards have for Liu Yifei?
?
When they were having fun in various pubs at night, even they themselves would sneer at the various riding training Liu Yifei asked them to do during the day~
After all, riding a war horse can at least gain a majestic reputation, but what the hell is riding a mule??
If you really took it seriously, wouldn't you be laughed to death by those people in the tavern?
Therefore, either actively or passively, they could only talk about their employer's inexplicable disdain and ridicule from the beginning...
Doesn’t Liu Yifei know about the increasing rumors in the market?
Not to mention him, even Cupid and his like who were born for war heard some of it from the guards at the side during their daily training.
It's a pity that Liu Yifei, as the main protagonist, doesn't care at all~
Seeing that the official so-called "novice period" is about to officially end, his team members have barely recovered a little bit of their basic strength. On this day, Liu Yifei came to Aldelick again and proposed a plan for Aldelick.
Delikdu asked in shock:
"What? When one year is up, you want to apply for transfer to Harmondale in advance?!"
When he heard that Geralt wanted to see him for something, Edric thought that this kid had some ideas that he wanted to discuss with him, but he didn't expect that the other person was here to make a request, and he even mentioned something that made it difficult for him to agree to it.
requirements...
According to the growth plan of the training camp, after the recruits have completed the one-year trial training period and eliminated some ordinary members who have slow progress, they will enter an intensive training period with intensive intervention by various instructors in the first half of the second year!
Different from the initial self-training of recruits, only the outstanding ones can get the instructor's guidance through the end-of-month assessment. As a two-year veteran, in addition to the large-scale liberalization of the quota of various logistics resources in the training camp, the instructors will also gradually strengthen their
After each member's progress requirements reach this stage, elimination will become more intensive and faster. You don't have to wait for three consecutive months to fail the assessment. As long as one day the instructor feels that your potential has been exhausted, he will directly kick you out...
