"Master Richard, the revenue from soap sales has exceeded 50 gold Naars in the past few days. It is growing very fast. According to the current progress, the revenue from soap sales can reach more than 2,000 gold Naars within a month.
However, the current sales of the bonds are not satisfactory, and only 3,000 gold naars of bonds have been subscribed for the time being.”
In Ironwood Fort, Egger was reporting to Richard the situation in the past few days.
The sales of soap are still in the promotion stage, and many families have not yet become accustomed to using it. Now, in just a few days, hundreds of gold nuggets are earned. This thing is a huge profit, and the production cost is close to zero.
When it is fully rolled out, at least the markets in the northern border and the river valley are completely covered by Richard's plan, which may be an income of tens of thousands of gold naars a month.
It is more normal for the issuance of bonds to be blocked now. All the lords are still on their way back from the class, and they have probably just arrived at this moment.
The businessmen who have cooperated with the Hunter family are afraid of offending the Hunter family, so they have to subscribe for some.
"Don't worry, the bonds can be subscribed by various lords in the next two days.
As for soap, just continue to promote it, but we must pay attention to keeping the manufacturing process confidential."
"Yes, Master Richard."
"In this way, the soap production factory will be moved further into the Iron Wood Forest, and an additional hundred flying bear troops will be sent to guard it."
Originally, the protection of Factory No. 1 was already tight enough, but Richard still added uneasily.
This kind of product will soon be extremely profitable. You can't be too careful. The deeper you go into the Ironwood Forest, the closer you will be to the city in the forest.
In addition to the apparent security, the fortress (elf) troops currently stationed in Forest City can also secretly protect the factory to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
"Uncle Egg, you go make arrangements first."
"Yes, Master Richard."
After Egger left the room, Richard clicked on the Invincible Heroes system interface again.
A new week has arrived…
As usual, he clicked on the Stone Fortress first. There were only two options in front of Richard for the time being, the Advanced Lancer Watchtower and the Blacksmith Shop.
After careful consideration, Richard decided to upgrade the Lancer Watchtower.
In the war with the ogres, the basic spearmen became more and more powerless, and the good system soldiers were reduced to only a little stronger than ordinary soldiers.
I hope that when the spearmen are upgraded to the halberdiers, they can hold up the situation.
Then click on Forest City,
The options in Forest City are even rarer, with only one Sword Dancer camp that can be upgraded to a War Dancer camp.
Richard has discovered that Linzhong City is more like an auxiliary city. Many of the functional buildings in his memory are not available and can only be run by recruiting troops to camp, which makes Richard somewhat regretful.
Of course, this is entirely a greedy and insufficient mentality.
After recruiting all the troops again, the strength of Richard's troops now became:
Elite Centaur (120), Halberdier (110), War Dancer (60), Marksman (110), Great Elf Archer (18), Royal Griffin (48), Crusader (49), Diamond Man (2
).
The spearmen have all been upgraded to halberdiers, and the sword dancers have also directly completed the upgrade.
However, due to a lot of losses in the previous war, the number of halberdier soldiers was actually not as good as the elite centaurs recruited in the later period.
Richard walked to the school grounds in the backyard to observe the newly minted halberdiers.
From the spearman to the halberdier, the appearance has not changed much. Except that the weapon in his hand has changed to a halberd, he also has an extra layer of chain armor on his body.
If you look closely, you can see that the halberdiers are stronger than the original spearmen.
Because the camps of the system army have always been separated, the spearmen changed out of thin air without attracting any attention.
"Attack me with all your strength!"
"Yes, sir."
The halberdiers, who were standing in their original position, waved their halberds and attacked Richard.
"clang"
The halberd was easily blocked by Richard's sword, and then Richard swung the halberd away with a wave of his hand.
However, Richard did not issue an order to stop.
The halberdier, whose weapon had been thrown away, drew back and struck at Richard with another thrust, with no intention of holding back. If the thrust was solid, Richard's happiness might be completely over.
"clang"
There was a huge gap between the two sides, but this attack was easily blocked by Richard.
"Okay, stop it."
"Yes, sir."
After going back and forth several times, Richard basically tested his strength as a halberd soldier.
With the addition of offensive skills, the halberdier has the strength of an entry-level quasi-knight.
With his rich combat experience and fearless spirit, he might be able to fight against mid-level knights.
Overall, it is still slightly inferior to Centaur Elite.
If they fight in formation, they should be able to deal with a similar number of ogre warriors, which is basically satisfactory to Richard.
…
Hullburg
Since the last ogre attack was repulsed, the battlefield has been silent for nearly a week.
"Tell me, we have been trapped for so long and no reinforcements have arrived. Are there any reinforcements?"
"There will definitely be reinforcements. Even the Marquis is trapped here. Someone will definitely come to rescue him."
"That's it, the main force of our Jingbei Army is here. There is only the weakest fifth army in Piaoxue City. They have to guard Piaoxue City. How can they come to save us."
The troops that could fight in the north, except for Richard's men, were either abandoned in the wilderness or surrounded in Fort Hull. It was reasonable for the soldiers to worry that they had no original troops.
"There are no reinforcements in the North, and the Kingdom cannot ignore us. As long as we keep guarding for a while, reinforcements should arrive."
"Too,"
"Okay, okay, be careful. If we can't hold on before reinforcements arrive, none of us will survive."
Although the Jingbei Army was newly defeated and those stationed at Fort Hel were all remnants, their will to fight was not bad.
After all, the attackers are ogres who cannot compromise at all. They have no other choice but to fight to the end.
It's no better than the internal fighting among human beings. It's really hard to win and there's still a chance to surrender.
"Captain, what is that?"
The soldier who was still speaking normally sounded a little frightened.
The captain looked in the direction pointed by the soldier and recognized at a glance that the huge wooden tower-like tool should be the ogre's improved manhole.
A total of ten manholes were pushed towards Helburg in a row.
There were also a large number of kobolds carrying ladders and charging from all sides at the same time.
"Enemy attack!"
"Ready to fight!"
"Hurry up to the city wall!"
"Dang, Dang, Dang..."
With a rapid golden sound, the originally quiet city wall became noisy.
It was all the sound of rapid footsteps, the sound of armor plates clashing as they ran, and the officers’ urging and cursing.
A large number of soldiers swarmed onto the city wall, skillfully found their positions, and stood ready.
Marquis Wade also appeared at the top of the city wearing armor.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this attack by the ogres is not trivial, as they seem to want to knock down Helburg in one fell swoop.
