Empires Start with Lords

The veined fruit trees planted on the one-tenth of a hectare of black land can be considered to provide food for 8,000 people.

And Ross now has a population of 20,000, and the food grown has exceeded the ration of the population of 30,000.

Just now, a grain manager came to ask Ross if he wanted to sell the extra 10,000 grains in the market outside, but Ross refused.

There is no other reason. The population of Ross is soaring now. Every day, 500 or 600 civilians migrate or move to the three main cities of Ross.

Among them, the most populous Eye of Hope has more than 12,000 people.

Ross planned the Eye of Hope as a large population, military and food city, intentionally or unintentionally, and in the Hand of Hope, Ross planned to build it into a comprehensive city, that is, a subsidiary city of the Eye of Hope.

The Green Forest guarding the front of these two cities is Ross's main energy here, and he even invested more energy in the construction of the Green Forest than the Eye of Hope.

At present, the Eye of Hope has been starting for a while, and after Ross's vigorous construction, it has become decent.

Even if it is placed in the territory of all the counts, it is a rare city with a population of tens of thousands.

As for Green Forest, although the population is only 6,000, it is still far from the Eye of Hope, but the economic prosperity has already begun to take shape, and there is a tendency to surpass the Eye of Hope and the Hand of Hope.

The population of Hand of Hope is also 4,000, because Ross lured part of the population of Eye of Hope to Green Forest for migration.

The economy of the Hand of Hope also slumped, but in order to build the Green Forest, this is a necessary sacrifice.

Ross decided to give back to the Hand of Hope when Green Forest develops.

And Ross originally planned to go back to Green Forest at noon, but discovered the conspiracy of the eldest prince. At this time, strengthening the fortifications was the top priority.

Ross called in all the troops of the Eye of Hope, and looked at the maintenance of the barracks.

Barracks are small-scale and can only train up to 200 soldiers at a time.

Moreover, 2,500 gold coins are needed every month to train the soldiers and buy equipment and weapons for the soldiers.

The so-called equipment weapons here are the lowest-level training equipment. After the soldiers enter the establishment, Ross needs to pay them to put on better equipment.

Thinking about it, Ross directly asked the Eye of Hope Financial Hall to stop spending on the barracks, and Ross himself would buy all the spending in the future.

Because Ross personally let the forge make it, the cost will be reduced by half, which is 1,200 gold coins.

With such a sum of money, it is completely possible to buy an English longbow team.

Later, Ross directly waved his hand and transformed the barracks into a medium-sized barracks, which cost Ross 30,000 gold coins.

Ross doesn't feel bad at all. After all, the military is the top priority.

The size of the military camp has been tripled, and the number of soldiers trained has been greatly shortened. It only takes seven days to train a group of soldiers, as many as 600.

That is, the training time has been doubled, and not only that, but the number of people training at the same time has doubled.

Ross nodded with satisfaction, and found that the military camp had enabled the skill to strengthen the troops.

Ross clicked to view.

Arms enhancement: Soldiers can be strengthened into stormtroopers, and stormtroopers can be strengthened into light knights.

Long-range strengthening: Archers can be strengthened into English Longbowmen, and English Longbowmen can be strengthened into Fire Gunners.

Ross glanced at it. It takes two gold coins to strengthen a unit at a time. At most 300 units of the same profession can be strengthened at a time. One person is two gold coins.

In other words, to strengthen three hundred soldiers, six hundred gold coins are needed.

Ross ordered three hundred soldiers to stand in several rows, and Ross tried to click to strengthen.

Wow!

The attributes of these hundreds of soldiers have been significantly strengthened, and the charge ability has been directly increased from one to 'six'.

It is a little higher than the face value of the stormtroopers that Ross bought.

nice!

Ross thought to himself that he could get 300 stormtroopers for 600 gold coins. If Ross wanted to buy 300 stormtroopers himself, he would have to spend at least 1,500 gold coins.

Ross thought, and strengthened the three hundred stormtroopers into light knights.

This time, the need is no longer six hundred gold coins, but doubled, one thousand two hundred gold coins.

However, the strengthening process was very successful, and various attributes were a little higher than ordinary light knights.

Don't underestimate the face value of this, this attribute can often play a key role in a battle with a very large number of people.

Ross smiled in satisfaction.

Although light knights are the cheapest of many knights, most of the reason why knights are expensive is because of the equipment they wear.

A light knight needs eight gold coins.

Rose's enhanced light knight only needs four gold coins per person.

Even excluding the two gold coins for strengthening the soldiers into stormtroopers, it is still cheaper than buying them directly from Ross.

In this way, Ross can vacate the forging shop~www.novelmt.com~ and no longer make light knights and armors of all occupations that can be strengthened, so that resources can be used to forge other occupations.

This allows Ross to have a strong and powerful army faster.

Ross is no longer facing goblins, but ferocious medium orcs and high-level orcs.

With just one head, these orcs can defeat a large formation surrounded by hundreds of soldiers.

According to front-line information, there were over a thousand medium orcs who came out to join Marquis Raisel this time, and five hundred high-level orcs.

Although the average income, even if it comes to 10,000 heads, Ross has a way to deal with it.

But the average fighting power of a medium orc is seven or eight times that of a low-level orc, and a high-level orc is three times as powerful as a medium orc.

After all, Ross will face an army of no less than 50,000 inferior orcs.

And that doesn't even include Marquis Raisel's military power...

For a building like a large catapult, Ross spent 5,000 gold coins to buy one, and Marquis Russell probably had as much as he wanted.

Ross shook his head, it seemed that a tough battle was going to be fought.

At this time, Ross called the soldiers and knights of the whole city.

A total of 1,500 troops is the entire military force deployed by Ross in the Eye of Hope...

The gap with Marquis Raisel is probably not even a little bit.

Ross can't do anything about it, after all, his current army limit is only 3,000.

However, as long as he has a geographical advantage, Ross can take advantage of the city's advantages to defend and attack. Even if there are only 1,500 people, he can still exert the strength of 5,000 or 6,000 people.

Ross thought about it and purchased four large catapults, exactly the same as the ones built by the goblins in the Goblin Forest.
