All the soldiers of the city defense camp gathered in the open space next to the military camp and were on standby.
Tu Hong was still as efficient as ever in his work. Yesterday, it took only half a day to select a hundred people from among the residents and organize them into the newly formed city defense battalion crossbow fleet.
The captured archer Green was also hired as a shooting instructor for the crossbow unit.
Four spearmen were organized into the sword and shield corps.
At the same time, in accordance with Tang Jing's instructions, corps commanders and chiefs were appointed in the Sword and Shield Corps, Crossbow Corps and Blade Corps, selected by the soldiers themselves, thus improving the army's organization.
With the assistance of Mr. Wu, the registration of soldiers in the city defense camp was completed.
After a while, Tang Jing arrived.
"Sir, there should be 221 people in the city defense camp, but there are actually 221 people. Please review." Tu Hong bowed solemnly and respectfully invited Tang Jing to the review stand.
"very good!"
Seeing that the soldiers were in good order, Tang Jing was very satisfied and did not make any sensational speech. He only announced the appointments of generals such as Tu Hong, Tu Gang, Dwarf Oulin and Tu Qiang in public.
Officially announced the establishment of the city defense camp.
"Bring the stuff up!"
Tang Jing clapped his hands, and Wang Er, a private soldier, immediately commanded people to carry up eight large boxes.
The first two boxes contained infantry armor, a total of sixteen sets, while the remaining boxes contained one hundred divine arm crossbows, and the matching two thousand crossbow arrows were not carried up.
The above equipment costs a total of 8700 glory points.
For these equipment, Tang Jing not only spent all his glory points, but his merit points also dropped sharply from 650 points to a mere 10 points, and his title was reduced from a first-class baron to a commoner.
Not even a lord.
Fortunately, it's worth it.
When Tang Jing personally distributed the equipment to every warrior, not only the crossbowmen, but also the Chiyou warriors who were usually cold and arrogant could not conceal their excitement the moment they took over the infantry armor.
Who can refuse such a set of top-notch armor?
After the new equipment was distributed, this simple school field review came to an end, which not only demonstrated the lord's grace and power, but also well penetrated Tang Jing's influence into the city defense camp.
"General Tu, I will leave the city defense camp to you." Tang Jing smiled gently.
Today, in addition to continuing to sweep the surrounding territories, the city defense battalion also has to sweep the goblin camps that were delayed before. At the same time, they will detect the movements of the gnolls and drive away the wolves monitoring the surrounding areas.
The newly formed crossbow fleet also needs to arrange shooting training.
Soldiers must also be arranged to guard the territory to avoid sneak attacks by jackals.
There are a lot of things.
"promise!"
Hearing that the lord changed his title, Tu Hong was actually a little excited.
"By the way, which team is responsible for clearing out the goblin camp? Remember to call me when you set off." Tang Jing did not forget the upgrade plan, and at the same time he also wanted to see what the goblins looked like.
"My lord is going, and General Mo will not be able to stop you, but please agree to one condition."
"What conditions?"
"In order to ensure your safety, I would like to ask you to add one more soldier, a warrior from the Chiyou tribe." Tu Hong really didn't trust Wang Er's combat prowess.
After the protective cover disappears, jackals may sneak attack at any time, so security must be strengthened.
"good!"
Tang Jing nodded and accepted Tu Hong's arrangement.
………
Half an hour later, Tang Jing followed the dwarf Olin and set off to clear out the goblin camp.
The camp information book was also provided by Orin.
On the way, Tang Jing asked Ou Lin out of curiosity, "Besides the goblin camp and the jackal camp, are there any other camps nearby?"
"Sir, I only know one goblin camp." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Orin's face.
"No way, aren't you a ranger?"
"Ahem, not long after I entered this wilderness, I accidentally fell into the jackal's trap."
"..."
Tang Jing was also very embarrassed. He really didn't mean to expose Ou Lin's shortcomings.
What a coincidence, isn't it?
"Ahem, tell me about the customs and customs of the various tribes in the Aztec continent." Tang Jingzhi changed the subject, "For example, do you dwarves farm? Or do you all rely on hunting to survive?"
"Of course farming."
Orin explained with a smile: "If you don't farm the land, where will the bread and ale come from? It's just that our tribe is sparse and we all live in the mountains. We only need to cultivate a small amount of farmland, and there is no need to plant wheat on a large scale."
"So that's it."
Tang Jing suddenly understood, and then asked: "Then why haven't we seen jackals farming? Or is it that the orcs all make a living by hunting and robbing?"
"Not really."
Orin explained: "Among the orcs, jackals are notorious and are not favored by the mainstream orcs. Among the orcs, the tauren are very good at farming."
"Does the mainstream orcs refer to the royal family?"
"Sir, you have misunderstood. The royal family does not only refer to any race among the orcs, but to those with extraordinary talents among the orcs, who often look like humans from birth." Olin explained.
"Like that Catwoman?"
Tang Jing was still surprised before that cat people could be the royal family among orcs?
"Yes."
Orin smiled and nodded, "Because of this phenomenon, the orcs have also tried to actively breed talented people through intermarriage with humans, but the result was only the birth of uglier half-orcs."
"That's how the orcs came from."
Tang Jing listened with great interest, "What about the goblins we are going to destroy this time? Are they a group of green-skinned monsters that live in the woods and are as timid as mice?"
"Well…"
Orin looked strange, "It's true that goblins are timid, but they are also cunning, even cruel, greedy and despicable, evil and good at deception, and also very messy."
"Besides, goblins don't live in the woods, but live underground."
"All right!"
Tang Jing was embarrassed and wanted to imitate goblins and crawl into the ground.
………
With Orin's guidance and our own strong combat power, the operation to eliminate the goblins was extremely smooth. In addition to basic supplies, 450 gold coins, 5 level 1 crystal cores, and 1 level 2 crystal core were also seized.
Goblin thieves are rich.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Jing and his party returned to the territory smoothly with the loot.
"grown ups!"
Seeing Tang Jing, the sword and shield soldiers on duty at the city gate immediately saluted.
Tang Jing nodded slightly.
In order to ensure the security of the territory, Tu Hong arranged for thirty sword and shield soldiers to patrol day and night. In addition to guarding the four city gates, they also patrolled regularly along the city wall.
When necessary, he is also responsible for killing wild animals that try to approach the territory.
"Sir, there is one more thing. In the morning, two tribesmen from Team Oulin have arrived at the territory. Mr. Wu came out to receive them and placed them in the front yard of the Lord's Mansion," the guard reported.
"Yeah?"
Tang Jing looked at Ou Lin, who also looked happy, "Let's go and meet him together."
"promise!"
Ou Lin gave a few instructions to the accompanying commander, and then followed.
………
Two dwarves came, one was Orin's father Bagg, a senior blacksmith.
One is Oulin's brother Oula, an intermediate blacksmith.
In order to thank the lord for saving Orin's life, the family also risked their lives.
Tang Jing just showed his face and left the space for Ou Lin and his son.
After returning to the room, I began to pay attention to the latest situation in Zunlong Kingdom.
Today, the most powerful group of lords have successively upgraded their territories to level three sanctuaries. If they want to be promoted to villages, they will face the two obstacles of "level 2 crystal core + title".
The two are actually interconnected.
If you want to obtain level 2 crystal cores, you almost need to destroy the wild camps, and you will naturally gain merit points.
The Lord's requirements for merit points are not high.
Because of this, although level 2 crystal cores are precious, it seems unlikely to be as popular as level 1 crystal cores. Even if a level 2 crystal core is exchanged, the lord will have to deal with it personally.
On the contrary, weapons and equipment that can improve the combat effectiveness of refugees have suddenly become in short supply.
Especially instant weapons like crossbows.
Like the divine arm crossbow sold in the Glory Shop, it is the dream of many lords.
"but…"
Tang Jing thought of another possibility, whether the lords would conquer the surrounding territories for merit points and complete the advancement in a relatively "easy" way.
This is allowed by the rules.
Attacking a first-level shelter is much easier than attacking a wild camp.
Facing wild beasts, bandits, and helpless refugees may suffer heavy casualties, but if it is a war between territories, it is a pure competition to see who has more.
Rookies pecking each other!
"So, as the protective shield disappears, will the territory's destruction also come as expected?"
Tang Jing didn't think there was anything wrong.
In the era of national lords, it is the survival of the fittest. Take Zunlong Kingdom as an example. In reality, there are only more than two million natural villages, and more than 30 million lords are needed.
More than 90% of the lords will eventually be eliminated.
If the attack between territories starts from this, the value of level 2 crystal cores will suddenly rise again, and Tang Jing will not be in a hurry to sell the level 2 crystal cores in stock.
You can probably wait a day or two.
The problem now is that Tang Jing can use weapons and equipment, level 2 crystal cores and other rare materials in exchange for refugees, grain, ores, leather, etc., but he cannot exchange for players to settle down.
"Headache!"
Tang Jing seemed to be trapped in an endless loop.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore!"
At worst, the territory will still rely on aboriginal management in the early stage, and the more extensive it is, the more extensive it will be.
When the territory becomes truly powerful, for example, after an unbreakable city is established, it will naturally attract Dragon Kingdom players to settle there.
In the final analysis, strength determines everything.
