total war rise of empire

Chapter 35 Cannon fodder with high morale

"Your Excellency, the arms drawn by the War Faith have their own unique value, and they are bound to be better than the regular soldiers trained in the barracks. The number has doubled, but they must have their own outstanding features to be selected by the War Faith!"

Lei Zihao watched Freya say the words "Spartan man in trousers" sternly, and his eyes couldn't help becoming weird.

With Freya's keenness, she can naturally feel Lei Zihao's weird eyes. Freya's cold cheeks were slightly red, she turned her head away, and said nothing, she was slandering the name of a man with a Spartan underpants that the Governor-General wanted. It is really……

It was rare for Lei Zihao to see the cold Freya blushing, smiling slightly, and returned to business. Since the Temple of War can display a translucent sci-fi lottery interface, it naturally also has the data display function of part of the Total War system. Among the war system functional buildings, only temple buildings and the unique governor's mansion (town hall) have the display and operation function of the total war system.

[Arms: Thracian Swordsman

Soldier size: two hundred people.

Skills: Killing

Highest combat power: six stars

Morale: ten stars (war faith bonus)

Recruitment fee (???), maintenance fee (10 gold per month).

Ability: Constantly high morale, proficient in melee combat.

Note: These are Thracian swordsmen who have been brainwashed by the belief in war. They are brave and fearless. They only pursue attack power when fighting. They do not need shield weapons. Using two-handed swords for close combat is what barbarians are best at. of!In the chaotic close combat, these barbarians will bring you unexpected surprises!
However, please don't let them face the enemy's long-range troops directly, or the tight long-armed phalanx troops, otherwise, they will be slaughtered meaninglessly and easily! 】

Lei Zihao blinked, as if he didn't believe that these barbarians, who were wearing less than men in Spartan pants, actually had full morale points!
Could it be that the barbarian's simple brain is more likely to be fooled by the belief in war?
He is good at melee combat in melee, which is somewhat similar to Spartan warriors. However, Spartan warriors are also very strong in formation fighting, and their maximum combat power is eight stars!
No wonder the lottery was given to two hundred people this time. There is still a big gap in strength between the two sides...

As for the comparison with Qin's crossbowmen, it seems unfair. The role of Qin's crossbowmen in the war is better than a group of long-sword soldiers who can only cut people with brute force!

Of course, the tactical positioning of the two sides is also different. In history, except for the line infantry in the modern queue shooting, no arm is a panacea for seeing the whole situation. A reasonable combination of various arms is the shortcut to victory!
Whether it was the army in the ancient Warring States period in the East or the most glorious Roman era in the West, they all relied on the cooperation of multiple arms to succeed. However, the Roman legion infantry and Qin crossbowmen were too dazzling, covering up the role of other arms.

At this time, Lei Zihao couldn't help but think of the military unit that was closest to omnipotence during the Warring States Period in the East——Wei Wuzu!

Accurate shooting, able to line up, good at hand-to-hand combat, and scary high morale, the combat effectiveness was one of the best at that time!

Unfortunately, the all-powerful soldier looks very glamorous, but in a full-scale war between countries, it seems impractical. The biggest reason is the cost and time-consuming!

With that kind of kung fu to select excellent seedlings and spend a lot of money and time to train an all-round soldier, other countries have already trained ten times as many ordinary soldiers!

The battlefield is not an individual martial arts competition. The cooperation of various arms is similar to the power of an all-round soldier. Even Wei Wuzu can only do one thing at a time. When archery, you can't use an extra pair of hands to cut people, right? ...

This type of all-round soldier is too cost-effective, which has led to the diversification of war arms and more and more rulers' attention!

However, one yard counts for one yard. If you don't waste so much energy and time, you can directly use the unscientific shortcut of lottery to draw all-round soldiers, then you will make a lot of money!

Unfortunately, Lei Zihao's luck doesn't seem to be that good...

Lei Zihao looked at the Thracian swordsman who couldn't even stand in line in front of him, with a fierce and bloodthirsty expression on his face, and he had already defined it in his heart as a very reasonable definition - cannon fodder for melee with high morale!

Yes, if you think about it this way, these Thracian swordsmen are quite useful!

I have to say that things like religion are still very useful sometimes, as long as you control it in your own hands, in this ignorant and backward world, it is a big killer!

After dealing with the Thracian swordsman, Lei Zihao stopped Freya who was about to go back to the prayer room and continue to stay at home: "Freya, do you want to go on a trip with me?"

Freya glanced at Lei Zihao strangely: "Mr. Governor, if you need me to protect your safety, just say so. I don't mind..."

"Cough, cough..." Sure enough, even Lei Zihao, who thought he was a master of shamelessness, couldn't stand being told by a beautiful woman to protect himself...

For Megara and his party, Lei Zihao didn't want to bet on Li Qingmei's integrity. Maybe Li Qingmei's chastity is still there, but who knows if this soft-spoken Princess Siris will sell him out again?
If he really stumbles, even if he kills Li Qingmei on the spot, it will not help!
Therefore, Lei Zihao plans to recruit all the regular troops of Longhan Town, including the Spartan general guard, the Qin hand crossbowmen, and the naked man with long swords drawn out just now... Uh, I mean Thracian long sword soldiers !
Leave none of these soldiers behind, take them all with you!

Longhan Town has good public security, and those remnant soldiers are enough to maintain it.

As long as a 400-man troop enters the city of Megara, even if the other party does not cooperate, it will be enough to control the situation.

After all, the melee combat abilities of the Spartan man in pants and the naked man with long sword are quite reliable, and the morale bonus full of stars, let alone worry about the unfavorable situation of less against many!
In other words, why doesn't the army with full morale like to wear clothes?

Is it possible that this Total War system has some bad habits?
If I get a female team in the future...hehehe...

Before he knew it, Lei Zihao's thinking went astray again...

It seems that this mercenary has indeed been holding back for a long time. The most important thing is that Lei Zihao, who has been holding back for so long, often faces the oriental classical and beautiful Valkyrie, and the cute girl princess with a fiery figure and soft voice!
"I finally got such a big 'cheat device', this time I must live the life I want, and let those half-orcs go to hell!" Lei Zihao sat in the study, watching the Total War interface appear. Shinto.

　I beg you for a reward. If you have enough reward, I will add more!
