total war rise of empire

Chapter 148 The Temptation of the System
"Hehe, it seems that she is also very eager to upgrade the system. Seeing that there are so many gold coin resources for expansion, even the functions of the 5th-level main city are given in advance for me to preview."

Naturally, Lei Zihao would not have the opportunity to know his future strength in advance. After being prompted by the total war system, he came to the general control room and pressed the desire of the violent soldiers, directly opening the newly added 5th level main city function preview option!

First of all, he started to look at the architectural functions of the 5th level main city.

[Imperial Officials (Governor's Mansion Level 5 Building): You can recruit "Civil Officials" (Affair Officers) here.City law and order increased by 25%. 】

"The level 5 governor's mansion upgraded from the city hall is really extraordinary, and the affairs officers who appear randomly can be recruited directly with gold coins!
Even an officer with the most ordinary attributes will be very useful in controlling the occupied area after the expansion of the territory in the future! "

The number of cities controlled by the Golden Dragon Kingdom is now very small, and perhaps the role of the affairs officer has not yet been reflected. Lei Zihao is very clear that after the expansion of the Golden Dragon Kingdom in the future, as the territory increases, the fringe areas will become farther and farther away from the capital of the kingdom, and the control power will become more and more distant. It must be greatly reduced. If you want to continue to ensure a strong control at this time, you must need a large number of clerical officers and loyal civilian personnel to assist in management!
Managing a city is not just a matter of arranging a group of soldiers to patrol the streets. From taxation to administration, from punishment to trial, professional personnel are required to preside over it. You can’t just chop off the heads of everyone who made a small mistake...

Barbarism and violence are indispensable in the process of conquest, but stability and governance must not be solved simply by violence!
The civil affairs officers produced by the 5th-level governor's mansion palace will be enough to establish a stable centralized empire from top to bottom. After Lei Zihao saw the function of the first building, his heart was full of desire!
[Imperial Barracks (barracks level 5 building): You can train and recruit heavy armored warriors, royal infantry, and royal guards here. 】

Lei Zihao looked at the names of the units listed in the 5th-level barracks, and ignored the buildings below, and directly clicked on the information of those units that looked awesome!

The information of the previewed arms is not perfect. At least, the cost required for recruitment is not listed here, but the directions they are good at!

As the name suggests, the Heavy Armored Warriors are a group of elite heavy armored units specially used to assault and smash the enemy infantry phalanx. According to the limited information, the heavy armored warriors are all wearing full-body plate armor, from the ground up. All feet are hidden in iron shells!

This is the real armored infantry!

Since their whole body is under the protection of heavy plate armor, they don't need to install additional shields at all, and their hands are freed to hold the powerful two-handed long-handled double-edged giant ax in the era of cold weapons!
Although the incomplete information does not introduce the physical fitness of these heavy armored warriors in the human world, they can wear a heavy full-body heavy plate armor and can wield heavy weapons with two-handed long-handled double-edged giant axes. Well, a soldier with this kind of physical fitness can at least stand up to an official knight in the human world!

The morale value of the heavy armored warriors reached full stars, that is to say, they can fight to the last person without collapsing, which is no different from the Scarlet Crusaders!
It is indeed the top melee conventional unit in the total war system!
Relatively speaking, the attributes of the infantry of the Royal Legion are relatively mediocre, and the information inside is also incomplete. The recruitment cost and specific physical attributes are not shown, and even the equipment and armor are not clearly stated. It is even rarer than the information on the heavy armored warrior !
It only commented that the infantry of the Royal Legion is the main force of the basic conventional army of the total war system, and the armored army that is common in the cold weapon era is equivalent to an upgraded version of the Imperial Guard!The advantage is that the morale value of the infantry of the Royal Legion reaches nine stars. It can be said that they will hardly collapse on the battlefield!
Glory, sacrifice, and victory are the spiritual beliefs of the infantrymen of the Royal Legion!

As for the last royal inner guard, it is even more mysterious!

The system only gave two brief evaluations: the price is high; the force value exceeds other arms!
According to Lei Zihao's guess, the royal guards should be inclined to special forces to protect his own safety. As his army grows stronger, the irresistible enemy's assassination of the leader will undoubtedly become the only means of victory. With the world's military system far surpassing that of the earth, the success rate of assassinating kings and commanders will undoubtedly be greatly improved. Personal safety is an issue that Lei Zihao must pay attention to in the future!

"The main city of level 5 really makes people's heart flutter, and every unit is far beyond what I have now!"

After Lei Zihao sighed, he looked at the next preview building:
[Siege shooting range (shooting range level 5 building): You can recruit heavy three-bow bed crossbows (mechanical), royal longbowmen, and royal step heavy crossbow shooters here. 】

Needless to say, the bed crossbow was a large-scale weapon in the peak period of cold weapons. What Lei Zihao paid attention to was the concept of the royal longbowman and the royal heavy crossbow shooter!
The Royal Longbowman here is an upgraded version of the famous English Longbowman on Earth!
Because the physical fitness of the royal longbowmen is stronger than that of the English on earth, the longbows that can be used can make the tension of the bowstring greater, making the longbows have a longer range and stronger penetrating power!

According to the data previewed by the total war system, the shooting range and armor-piercing ability of the Royal Longbowman have already surpassed the range of the early flintlock guns known to Lei Zihao in the history of the earth!
Not to mention compared with the matchlock gun!

With the Royal Longbowmen, Lei Zihao can achieve the lethality of a smoothbore flintlock gun even without the use of smoothbore gun technology!
Before the appearance of rifled guns, the Royal Longbowman will never be eliminated, especially for Lei Zihao's total war system, the disadvantage of longbowmen needing a lot of time to train does not exist at all, as long as there are enough gold resources, training Royal longbowmen with high morale can drive out of the barracks continuously!
Of course, although the Royal Longbowman is stronger than the English Longbowman in the history of the earth, in terms of armor-piercing ability, it is still not as good as the Royal Crossbow Archer behind!
The maximum shooting range of the royal crossbow archer is slightly lower than that of the royal longbowman, but the distance to the effective armor-piercing range is higher than that of the royal longbowman!
It can be said that the cooperation of these two types of arms will definitely cause a large number of active forces to kill the enemy in advance, no matter whether the opponent wears heavy armor or not!

This is simply a cold weapon version of super long-range fire suppression!
