Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Which general is not eager to fight?

To the weak, war heralds death and displacement.

But for the strong, war means reshuffling the cards and is a good opportunity to rise.

As the military commander in the territory, he has a better understanding of the territory's military strength than Zong Shen currently has.

Today, the military strength within the territory is no longer what it used to be.

It’s a good time to strike while the iron is hot and expand your territory!

If you fall behind, you will be beaten.

A slap can make a loud sound.

Because if you don’t take pictures of others, then others will take pictures of you.

This is the nature of aggression, and checks and balances must also have the confidence to do so.

And we must know that checks and balances are inherently a product of compromise.

If we really have enough strength, all talk of mutual deterrence and peaceful development will be nonsense.

Won't it be a pleasure to capture them all and turn them into whole pieces?

This truth is simple and easy to understand, and it is also the true characteristic of troubled times.

So after hearing what Zong Shen said, Colby seemed a little excited.

He, who had always been calm, couldn't help but show excitement.

Colby is willing to die for you!

Every order you give must be carried out with your life!

He spoke with sonorous words, his tone was firm and full of indomitable momentum.

Zong Shen nodded with satisfaction.

This is what he admires most about Colby.

To his loyal subordinates, he only issued orders and requirements without explaining anything.

The unconditional support and unconditional love made him feel a sense of identity.

I have to say, this is a very useful feeling.

Don't worry, if there is a war, you will be the vanguard!

Zong Shen knew the desire in his heart, so he also made a promise.

Colby has never been a character who is afraid of war. War can only excite him, whether it is an advantage or a disadvantage.

After Zong Shen finished speaking, he sat back on the armchair behind his desk.

The madness on his face subsided slightly.

He also has some fighting madness in his bones.

After coming to the world of lords, everyone's most essential ambitions were aroused.

Now, please report to me the specific troop configuration.

Zong Shen leaned back, supporting his chin with one hand and resting his other hand on the table.

At this time, Colby quickly took out a bound document from the storage compartment.

The entire document has more than twenty pages, is covered with waterproof oil paper, and has a faint smell of ink.

Zong Shen took the document with one hand and opened it casually.

Colby reported simultaneously.

Having documents as a reference can give Zong Shen a more intuitive understanding of the current military strength in his territory.

Reporting to the lord, the current configuration of the territory's troops is as follows...

Standing in front of the desk, Colby's voice was loud and Zong Shen squinted his eyes slightly.

Slightly lowered eyes followed his report and slowly moved on the list of documents.

There is a more focused atmosphere in the office.

There were only loud reports and the rustle of documents being turned.

…

After about ten minutes, Colby finally finished his report.

Zong Shen also finished flipping through the documents in front of him. After comparing the two, he basically had an idea.

His current mood is like Li Yunlong's broken into pieces.

It wasn't until they were about to attack Ping'an County and began to assemble their troops that they discovered that their subordinates had already become bigger and stronger. After regrouping, they had a lot of troops.

Zong Shen was probably in such a mood at this time.

The current source of troops in the territory is complex.

There are many ways to break it down.

Recruitment, self-training, inheritance reception, war deterrence, wild conquest, etc.

Among them, the latter two are now the main source of military strength.

After everything has been sorted out, the specific numbers of troops in the current territory divided according to levels and types of arms are as follows:

[First-level melee units (including self-trained soldiers, militiamen, returned bandits with first-level strength in the wild, intelligent aliens, etc.) Total: 137,821]

[Total number of first-level remote arms (same as above): 61125]

[Total first-level cavalry (same as above): 37962]

[Total number of first-level spellcasters (same as above): 26113]

…

Yes, the total number of first-order soldiers in Zaoyu alone exceeds 250,000!

Broken down, there are hundreds of types of soldiers.

It takes up several pages in the document.

For example, militiamen from various places, as well as wild monsters such as low-level trees and goblins, are all considered a unit.

Because they are all of the first level, they are directly summarized.

Moreover, the sources of these low-level arms are also extremely complicated.

There are many first-order soldiers who are even ignored by Zong Shen on a daily basis.

But they are all included in the statistics here.

Because strictly speaking, they are indeed part of the territorial combat power.

The number of this group of first-order soldiers is not small, but their uses are not many.

It can only be used as cannon fodder when placed on the battlefield.

It's probably okay to just barely fight a village battle.

Because most of the aboriginal village guards are composed of first- and second-order soldiers.

But on a giant city-level battlefield, first-order soldiers are pure cannon fodder.

The kind where a large area of ​​people will die if you throw them away with one skill.

Even if they formed a military formation, their strength would be pitifully weak.

But that doesn't mean they have no use.

In the judgment of the lord system, the subjects are roughly divided into the following three categories.

Combat type (soldier), logistics type (farmer), comprehensive type (skilled craftsman).

And among these three categories, heroic talents take all.

Many defensive and siege equipment are limited to combat units.

So these low-level cannon fodder units still have some use.

Especially after special battle forts were built.

It would be perfect to let them garrison the fortress and operate the defensive equipment.

Even if you die in battle, you won't feel bad.

From now on it will be the second level arms.

Unlike the complicated first-level arms, the second-level units are divided into subdivisions.

The first in line was no longer the infantry, but the cavalry.

And it is surprisingly the wolf cavalry that Zong Shen is most familiar with.

[Total number of second-level wolf cavalry: 31,722]

[Total number of second-level Avalon light swordsmen: 54,779]

[Total number of second-level Avalon light crossbowmen: 28,431]

[Total number of second-level Avalon light riders: 23126]

[Total number of second-level elemental mage apprentices: 10,829]

[Total number of second-level self-trained infantry: 27,753]

[Total number of second-level Salander iron scorpion scimitar warriors: 206]

[Total number of second-level Swadia light rangers: 419]

[Total number of second-order centaurs: 1169]

[Total number of second-level jackdaw double-sword warriors: 1517]

[Total number of second-level elite tree people: 97]

[Total number of second-level Nord light axemen: 1077]

[Total number of second-level beasts/warcraft/raptors: 1933]

[Total number of second-level Nord scout rangers: 185]

[Total number of second-level night elf light rangers: 327]

[Total number of second-level elf light swordsmen: 978]

[Total number of second-level Rhodok crossbowmen: 219]

[Total number of second-level self-trained crossbowmen: 10,673]

…

There are 14 types of second-level troops.

The largest number is undoubtedly the Avalon series.

They mainly come from the giant city of Lentax, the city of Seakabang, and Bosbang who took the initiative to surrender.

This level of arms is considered the mainstream in the city, or it is the largest number of basic soldier units.

As beings one level higher than the village, first-level soldiers are somewhat unsatisfactory in the city, but second-level soldiers are just fine.

Therefore, no matter whether the city is strong or not, there are always many second-tier troops.

The difference is that strong states have a higher number and proportion of high-level troops.

After all, a city with a population of 70,000 to 80,000 is a state city, and a city with a population of over a million is still a state city.

In the same country, some differences are even greater than the differences between people and dogs.

And although these second-level troops seem a bit weak in Zong Shen's eyes.

But it's actually not that bad.

On average, there is always one attribute among the four major attributes of the second-level arms that can exceed 20 points.

The soldiers in the territory keep training and have more levels and attribute points. The outstanding attribute can often exceed 25 points or even 30 points.

The existence of differences in individual strength levels makes many lords almost forget that the troops in their territory can also be cultivated.

Theoretically, it is possible to raise a unit of the same level with several times the attributes of a standard template.

But no one would be so extreme.

After all, cultivation is conditional and often requires special props, buildings and dedicated training time.

Daily training can slowly improve soldier experience.

If the experience gained from daily training is 1, then the experience that can be gained through specialized training ground construction is at least 1.5 and 2.

The efficiency of the two is different, and the experience gain per unit time is also different.

Increase your soldier level by gaining experience.

The first thirty levels are actually not too difficult to level up.

Therefore, upgrading is one of the main ways for most soldiers to obtain extra attribute points in the early stage.

There are also many types of buildings specifically used for soldier training.

The function of low-level training buildings is relatively simple. It is nothing more than using daily training time to gain additional unit experience, accumulate weapon proficiency, skill experience, etc.

As for the improvements brought by high-end training buildings, there are more improvements.

Not only do you get higher amounts of experience, you can often directly gain attribute points, weapon proficiency, and skill experience by accumulating training time.

These can all affect the specific strength of the arms.

in summary.

The current average strength of the second-tier troops in someone's territory is higher than the level of the same level.

In addition to training buildings, fighting in battle, reading books, and special training through troop strengthening props are all common ways to strengthen troops.

In addition, there is another way to strengthen troops that is relatively rare among lords, but is actually a truly mainstream way.

That is the symbolic building enhancement of relevant arms.

The most typical example is various clan totems.

They can give significant attribute gains to clan warriors within a certain range around the totem.

The centaur's [Wildhoof Totem], the goblin's [Evil Totem], and the murloc's [Riptide Murloc Totem] all enjoy such bonuses.

Of course, these attributes are directional bonuses for designated arms and ethnic groups.

There are also related buildings with general bonuses.

For example, [Vitality Totem (Blue)], [Nature Totem (Blue)], [Fanatic Totem (Blue)], [Grand Ranch Totem (Blue)], [Magic Totem (Purple)] and so on.

Even the [Farm Tower (Purple)] can be considered a regional enhancement building.

These all affect the specific strength of soldiers of the same rank in the territory.

Including Zong Shen's favorite wolf cavalry is no exception.

Since acquiring the [Desolate Wolf Tribe Heritage Base Camp (Special)] building, the strength of the entire Desolate Wolf clan's arms has been greatly improved.

Even if they are both second-level wolf cavalry, the wolf cavalry in Zong Shen's territory are more powerful than the wolf cavalry under other lords.

Thinking of this, relevant attribute information emerged in Zong Shen's mind involuntarily.

[Desolate Wolf Tribe Heritage Base Camp (Special)]

[Quality: Heritage Recruitment (Special) Level Building)]

[Sturdiness value: 999999]

[Building Armor Value: 999]

[Building magic resistance: 999]

[Maximum scope of action: radius 2500 kilometers]

[Effect: The basic attack of the Desolate Wolf tribe warriors within the range is increased by 15/35/55/75/95/115/135/155... according to the level, and the upper limit of health is increased by 100/300/500/700/900/ 1100/1300/1500…, basic movement speed +1/2/3, fertility +15%, second birth rate +3%, third birth rate +1%]

[Active skill: Wolf tribe warrior recruitment (can be used once every 720 hours, recruit 1800 second-level wolf cavalry warriors, 900 third-level giant wolf cavalry, 400 fourth-level wild wolf predators, and fifth-level prairie wolves) 200 knights, 100 level 6 random wolf warriors, 50 level 7 random wolf warriors)

Wild Wolf Tribe Hero Recruitment (can be used once every 168 hours, 70% probability of recruiting three heroes with green excellent qualifications, 20% probability of recruiting three heroes with blue excellent qualifications, 6% There is a probability of recruiting three heroes with purple rare qualifications, a 2.5% probability of recruiting three orange legendary talents, a 1.25% probability of recruiting three golden epic talents, and a 0.2% probability of recruiting three heroes. There are three talents with low-level legendary qualifications, a 0.092% probability of recruiting three talents with mid-level legendary qualifications, and a 0.008% probability of recruiting three talents with high-level legendary qualifications)

[The recruited warriors of the Wild Wolf Tribe will be given priority in the recruitment and command value of the inheritance base camp]

[When the inheritance base camp is completely destroyed, the Wild Wolf tribe warriors recruited into the command will be in a state of ownerlessness for 48 hours]

[In the ownerless state, the lord can receive it first and needs to occupy the corresponding control value]

[Recruiting and commanding: 1,550,000]

…

This is a truly unlimited inheritance recruitment building.

As long as it takes a while, Zong Shen can completely re-establish a new Wild Wolf tribe based on this.

And as the heritage base of the Wild Wolf Clan, it provides Zong Shen with a long-term and stable channel to obtain high-level standard arms.

This gave Zong Shen the confidence to form an army of wild wolves and fight in all directions.

The most important thing is that there is no need to prepare standard equipment for it

It does not affect the recruitment of other warriors.

This special heritage building can be called a multi-blessing.

Just add basic attack, maximum health, and movement speed.

Also add the fertility rate and second and third birth rate, which is a proper racial amplifier.

With the existence of the inheritance base camp, the initial state of the wolf cavalry in Zong Shen's territory has a comprehensive combat attribute that is 20% to 30% higher than that of other lords' wolf cavalry.

All in all, the second-level soldiers are still capable of fighting.

It is more than enough to be used against the enemy's low-level swarms or cannon fodder.

Especially like the Wolf Cavalry, both the mount and the rider can be used as combat power, and the mobility is also good. It is a very cost-effective unit! (End of chapter)
