910 Making arrows and changing the battle situation
Because there was enough manpower on hand, there was no shortage of ships, and the distance between Khalil City and Ansuais Village was so close, it only took two trips to transfer all the materials and personnel from Ansuais Village to Khalil City.
coming.
Next, most of the people in the city began to seize the time to carry supplies to the ship, and a small number of people began to make arrows. After fighting for such a long time, the arrows of Yun Xiaohan's unit were very consumed. Unfortunately, Yun Xiaohan
Han has no NPC talents who can make city defense weapons, otherwise he would be able to guide the NPC people to build some simple city defense weapons. Now he can only replenish some arrows for NPC soldiers.
In "Decision", the arrows sold in the weapon shop in the city are not unlimited, but generally speaking, they are enough for players to purchase in a peaceful state. Once there is a shortage of arrows, the price of arrows will rise, and there will naturally be
NPCs can make them, and merchant players can also make arrows to sell in stores to make money. It is this supply and demand price adjustment system that makes the economic system in the game more balanced and makes the game world more real.
However, once a state of war enters, arrows will be in short supply. In particular, NPC troops will consume a large amount of arrows, and arrow shortages are very common.
However, the capacity of players' luggage is relatively large. As long as they prepare more arrows, it is generally unlikely that they will run out of arrows. Moreover, most players who play archer will learn to make arrows even if they do not learn bow-making life skills.
Skills, on the one hand, arrows are consumables, which can save money; on the other hand, you can use the materials you get to make arrows with different effects and greater power.
What's more, when the bow-making and arrow-making skills are learned to a high level, you can achieve better results when using homemade bows and arrows. However, doing so will waste a lot of skill slots. Whether it is worth it or not, players need to weigh it themselves.

Just as Yun Xiaohan was actively preparing for the next war, the 30,000 main troops of the Merchant Alliance also arrived outside Cassis City, and the imperial troops in Cassis City had already evacuated.
The people and nobles who originally lived in Cassis City still stayed in Cassis City and were not forcibly taken away by the imperial troops. On the one hand, there was insufficient space on the ships, and more importantly, on the other hand, Yun Xiaohan had too few troops.
, fearing that forced relocation would encounter strong resistance from the merchant alliance people.
As good as it is now, although these people helped Yun Xiaohan carry supplies, they also gained a lot of benefits. Everyone was harmonious and the people of the Merchant Alliance did not have a strong sense of resistance and even had an impression of these imperial invaders.
good.
On the contrary, the 30,000 troops of the Merchant Alliance had just returned from the front line. Because they were traveling lightly, they did not carry much food. In order to support the originally expected war, food in big cities such as Masset City had been supplied once, although there was still not much food left in the city.
There is little food in store, but these 30,000 people and the leading generals do not dare to make trouble in such a big city.
The city of Cassis has been conquered once by the empire, and it is unclear how much food was missing. Moreover, these people are suspected of collaborating with the enemy, so it is very suitable to take action. The most important thing is that the lord of Cassis City afterwards
It is also very likely that he will be treated as a scapegoat and suffer bad luck, so the general who leads the team will not have too many scruples. In addition, without food, he cannot fight, and others will not be able to say anything in an emergency. Therefore, these 30,000 merchant alliances
After the main force entered the city of Cassis, they began to collect food from the people.
Of course, this is the place of the Merchant Alliance after all, and these people are also their own people. In the view of the leading general, the invading imperial troops have even given up on Cassis City, and 80% of them will flee in the future. This battle is
It's just a formality, the fight won't last long, and there's no need to prepare too much food, so they won't force these people to hand over all the food, they just take the opportunity to make a profit.
And these people are not stupid. After receiving the "return" from Yun Xiaohan's troops, many people hid their food because they were afraid of liquidation. The 30,000 people from the Merchant Alliance were still eager to deal with the empire's invading troops.
There is no time to search for food slowly, so the food collected is only part of the "return food" received by the people.
But even so, the complaints of the people in Cassis City are still not small: "We have gained without losses when the Imperials came, but why are our own troops robbing us of food?" No matter how many complaints there are, the 30,000 people from the Merchant Alliance still have nothing to lose.
The main force and the leading generals have no time to think about it. They cannot fight hungry.
Just when the grain was collected, the time came to 22:00, the end time of the third act of this battle. Up to now, the so-called Battle of Gloya City has been expanded too much, and the original battle name seems
The name is not worthy of the name, but so far, the players in the Empire and the Merchant Alliance have not realized this.
But both the Merchant Alliance and the Empire players are very baffled as to why the Empire and the Merchant Alliance have been quarreling in the entire third act of the battle. It's just that the players on both sides are engaged in a scout war. The subsequent 100,000 troops of the Merchant Alliance are not only missing.
Arriving late, only 70,000 people arrived. After joining the original 50,000 troops, there were a total of 120,000 troops. However, facing the Gloya city with only 40,000 defenders, they never launched an siege. A large group of
The top NPC leaders of the Business Alliance gathered together for a meeting. It lasted for a long time, and they didn't know what they were discussing.
The players did not know that the reason for the late arrival of the Merchant Alliance troops was because they received news that the hinterland was being attacked by imperial troops when they were halfway there. There was an internal dispute. They quarreled for a long time and wasted a lot of time. After they reunited, they
News of the capture of many cities and villages was received one after another. The number of lords affected reached 9. Other lords were also worried about their own territories and wanted to return to protect their territories. Earl McCourt of Masset City
are unwilling to retreat.
Earl McCourt's status is equivalent to Earl Balgruuf of Snowrun City, but the Merchant Alliance is a parliamentary system, and the control of the higher nobles over the lower nobles is definitely not as good as that of the empire. And in this situation, even if it were changed
It is not easy for Balgruf to come. He cannot force the lords to fight. Once the lords rebel, he will not be able to step down. What's more, if most of the lords do not work hard in the battle, they will not be able to fight even if they fight.
There may be some good results.
This is what the aristocratic system is like. It is much worse than the control of an autocratic monarchy, and the control of the aristocratic parliamentary system is even worse.
In the case of internal disputes, the siege battle naturally could not be fought. The final result of the discussion was to wait for the news. If the 30,000 returning troops drove away the imperial invasion force, they would make up their mind to continue attacking Gloya City.
, and if the enemy is not successfully driven out, withdraw the troops.
PS: I didn’t ask for leave, I just updated late because I was too tired to write anything. I set the alarm and got up at 3am.
