my fortress

Chapter 15 Honor Arms
SB!Standing on the rooftop, Yifei felt his gaze, and directly made an international general gesture to him, regardless of whether he understood the meaning, and then put his attention on the game interface with a smile!

At this time, he looked at the introduction behind Tom and found that Tom and others had also upgraded.

Tom: Crusader Swordsman, Level 4, Silver Swordsman, Glory 2147
Looking at the attributes of Tom and others, he was a little puzzled. Why did the armed sergeant have an official position when he reached the silver level, but the crusader swordsman and others did not have any?
Just when he was about to inquire, he saw the old butler rushing to the high platform.

"My lord, this was captured just now!" The old butler came to the high platform, respectfully handed over a piece of animal skin with words written all over it, and said with a bright face.

It's gone, it's gone, it's gone!
Seeing the record on the animal skin, Yifei was suddenly overjoyed.

984 iron ingots, 680 spears, 780 large shields, and 8687 gold coins.

Those orc heavy armored soldiers just now were too rich, and they killed less than 1000 people, and they had such a rich harvest. If they killed a little more, wouldn't they become rich overnight!
Thinking of this, he immediately became full of deep love for the orc heavy armor just now!
Hey, there is also a large shield. Compared with the wolf fur obtained last time, is this thing purely a trading item, or is it considered a weapon?
At this moment, when he saw the record on the parchment, he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

He opened the exchange, but he didn't find the large shield pattern in the general commodity, and then he clicked on the ordnance category.

Large shield, 80 gold coins/5 pieces.

Haha, it turned out to be ordnance. Doesn't that mean that a new type of military will definitely appear in the barracks.

Why is there no prompt in the system? Is the condition not enough?

Thinking of this, he immediately opened the barracks, and saw that there was nothing in the column for recruiting soldiers, and he was immediately disappointed.

Hey, it seems that things are not as good as expected!

Suddenly he found that there was a small [+] on the pattern of the spearman, he immediately lifted his spirits, and hurriedly clicked on the + sign.

What version of pawn is this?After Yifei clicked on the + sign, he found a warrior wearing black metal chain mail, holding a large shield in one hand, and a long ax spear in the other, appearing side by side with the previous spearman.

Halberdier [Honorary Soldiers]: Recruitment conditions: 1 spear, 1 armor, 1 large shield, 20 gold coins, 20 honor.

Honor soldier?

Seeing the introduction of the new unit in the barracks, he couldn't help being a little excited. It turned out to be a unit that consumes honor. This kind of unit is the same as his professional promotion requirements, and it is definitely not a parallel import!
But at the same time, he was a little strange. There were indeed halberd soldiers in the fortress series before, but they didn't seem to have shields.

Which version is this halberd soldier holding a shield?
Forget it, it doesn't matter which version he is, let's recruit a few first to see, because this honor consumes a lot.

After the eliminated orcs attacked again, Yifei suddenly found out that honor points are so rare. In the second consecutive war, he had killed at least 2000 enemies, so he won less than [-] honor points.

Compared with the soldiers under him, this honor value is far worse. Can't he use experience?
Thinking of this, he felt a little depressed.With such a speed, when will he be promoted to a god knight!

Hey, do you really want to go to the battlefield in person?

No, a knife and a gun have no eyes, if you accidentally hang it, it will be a big loss!

Slow down, slow down, safety first, first get some halberd soldiers out quietly!

After Yifei struggled in his heart for a while, he didn't care so much at this time. Although he didn't care much about the boar knights and wolf knights outside the city, the soldiers sent by the orcs were becoming more and more elite. Add a little more troops, after all, the number of enemies is there.

And these soldiers recruited by the system are not invincible. Once the enemy attacks the city regardless of losses, it will definitely cause casualties.

Just the same as before, if there were twice as many orc heavy armor just now, maybe Tom's life will be there!
It just so happened that a new unit had just been spawned at this time. With the idea of ​​safety first and life-saving first, he immediately used all the honor points on his body. In the blink of an eye, 25 halberd soldiers appeared outside the barracks!
Following a flash of light, the newly recruited halberd soldiers ran out of the barracks!

"Kafed pays homage to your lord!"

As 25 halberd soldiers prostrated themselves below the fortress with a large shield in one hand and a five-meter-long halberd in the other, Yifei immediately recognized their value.

Look at that exquisite plate armor!

Yes, the plate armor looks thicker than the armor on the crusader swordsman!

Coupled with the huge shield and halberd in his hand, he is definitely a hoplite among hoplites!
But would a soldier who could wear such a costume be weak?
"Get up, my soldiers!" Yifei shouted vigorously.

"My lord, if possible, please recruit as many halberd soldiers as possible!" With the appearance of the halberd soldiers, Yifei heard the advice of the armed sergeant Robbie.

After hearing Robbie's suggestion, Yifei felt a little strange, it was the first time that the cool Robbie gave him a suggestion in so many days.

So he looked at Robbie with some doubts and asked, "Robby, why?"

"My lord, the halberdiers, who bear the glory of war, are the backbone of all legions. When defending, with their large shields, archers and crossbowmen can hide behind them, and shoot the attacking enemy as much as they want; when attacking , Their large shields will block all the arrows flying towards the army formation, and their spears will tear the enemy's defenses to pieces." Hearing Yifei's inquiry, Robbie said with certainty.

Damn, isn't it, it's so awesome, with both offense and defense!After listening to Robbie's explanation, Yifei couldn't help being very surprised. He turned his head and looked at Tom and others who had just returned from outside the city, wondering what the swordsmen holding the cross shields said.

"Hey, it's okay, he's good at dealing with stupid knights!" Seeing Yifei's eyes, Tom said casually.

Hearing Tom's evaluation, Yifei directly threw it behind his head, he was used to this strange crusader swordsman in front of him.

In his heart, the most powerful are their swordsmen, and everything else is a dish!
In his words, rangers can only shoot arrows. If they are close by their swordsmen, he can chop them all by himself;
Therefore, Yifei has already decided to completely ignore his opinion, but in this strange foreign world, Tom, who is doing nothing, makes him feel kind, so every time he can't help but ask, it is also a kind of pastime!

He looked at the halberd soldiers outside the barracks again, and found that the halberd soldiers were indeed more suitable for resisting knights' charges in field battles. The sharp halberds in their hands, which were nearly five meters long, would be a nightmare for all knights after they erected a gun wall.

But it's also good for defense. The plate armor they wear all over and the large shield in their hands can cover the whole body, so that the archers don't even have a chance to strike!

When the field battle is advancing layer by layer, Rulin's spear formation is quite deterrent, but the premise is that the number of people can make up a square formation, maybe they can be used to form a Macedonian formation with spearmen!

Thinking of this, Yifei couldn't help but move in his heart!
At this time, he felt that the large shield in the hands of the halberd soldiers was a bit redundant. In terms of the defensive nature of the whole plate armor, it seemed a bit cumbersome to have multiple large shields.

But since it is configured by the system, it may also have its role.

Hehe, in this case, let them go to the city wall first. Thinking of this, Yifei had a general understanding of the halberd soldiers, so he sent all the 25 halberd soldiers to the city wall.

After recruiting the halberd soldiers, Yifei found that he only had 500 points of honor left over 8 points.

Hey, there is a long way to go!After sighing, he planned to use the equipment he had built in the past few days to recruit some soldiers.

At this time, he discovered a bad news. Just when he recruited the third armed sergeant, the pattern of the armed sergeant in the barracks instantly turned black!
I'll go, what's going on, is there still a quantity limit!
Looking at the prompt under the armed sergeant, [The host's occupation level is insufficient.], he instantly felt tens of thousands of mud horses rushing past in his heart!

The recruitment is not allowed, so what should I do, can I only recruit some mercenaries?

Seeing that the pattern of armed sergeants turned gray, Yifei had no choice but to open the mercenary office!

What kind of soldiers should I recruit?

Hey, forget it, let's recruit some archers, after all, with the city wall, the effect of long-range power is still great!

Thinking of this, he started to click like crazy!
A few minutes later, more than 100 Arab bows and arrows came out of the mercenary office!

At this time, he found that the number of soldiers under his command had reached more than 300, and half of the gold coins in his pocket were used up in an instant, so he stopped!

At this time, he saw the densely packed archers on the city wall, the ten tower crossbows built earlier, and six trebuchets placed on the tower. The whole city was like a thorny tortoise shell, and he immediately felt relieved.
