total war rise of empire

Chapter 9 Exploring the Forest
The recruitment fee of the Peasant Spearmen does not disappear out of thin air, but the one-time hard work money given by the recruiters and the cost of building equipment.

When the training is completed, unless Lei Zihao takes the initiative to disband these peasant spearmen, otherwise, they will serve Lei Zihao until old age!
This is the duty of a soldier, and it is the price that Lei Zihao needs to pay for raising them. Both Lei Zihao and the soldier feel that this is a matter of course!
Simple feudal peasants!

He didn't even need military pay, so he sold the rest of his life to the lord. Compared with the various benefits and service periods of soldiers in later generations...

Forget it, there is no comparison at all...

Of course, this does not mean that the people in power in the later generations will lose money compared to the ancient lords. After all, the social forms and social productivity of the two are very different, and the soldiers' income will naturally be different!
Not long after Lei Zihao established the recruitment of Peasant Spearmen, he received a friendly reminder from the Total War system: "Because the blacksmith shop has not been built, the cost of making weapons is high. After the blacksmith shop is established, the cost of recruiting troops and The cost of repairs will be greatly reduced!"

After receiving this friendly reminder, Lei Zihao, who wanted to build a temple for fun, decisively chose to build a blacksmith shop!

Although the temple seems mysterious and powerful, for Lei Zihao, who is short of money and desperately short of money, it is more practical to come from the blacksmith's shop!

The cost is greatly reduced, but it is the kingly choice for Longhan Village to save money!
Lei Zihao saw that the villagers who had built the village guard had not waited for an hour's rest before throwing themselves into the busy work, and sank into the thoughts of the next step.

After repairing the blacksmith shop, there are only hundreds of gold coins left in the warehouse, which is not enough to continue to build temples that cost at least a thousand gold coins. Upgrading requires buildings to be stored in a limited warehouse, which cannot be achieved this year, but Lei Zi Hao is not in a hurry, because not only can he not afford the cost of construction, but he has not even found the source of the population...

It's more comforting to have two cards than one, isn't it?
Anyway, that's how Lei Zihao comforted himself...

The army training is on the right track, and soon Longhan Village will have its own armed forces. Lei Zihao, who has a sense of crisis, feels that he should do something.

Since he came to the village, he spent the whole day besides swiping around to check the favorability of the villagers, and tasted the taste of food in this world. Except for no sex, it can be said that Lei Zihao is no different from the decadent nobleman in the feudal era. ...

This kind of life is not bad. If there is no foreign enemy, Lei Zihao will not object to this. If there is no foreign enemy, Lei Zihao will not object. At the same time, he also began to understand why those upper-level rulers and nobles in ancient times did not think about making progress and only knew how to enjoy themselves. up...

In fact, this kind of life is too easy to corrupt the fighting spirit of human beings!
Fortunately, after all, Lei Zihao can be regarded as a generation who grew up under the red flag. He also served as a soldier and went to the battlefield, and his willpower is still relatively tenacious. ', still wondering if I could do something interesting?

The side mission given by the total war system is absolutely impossible to be aimless. The kobold tribe should be deep in the northern forest!
Lei Zihao remembered that in ancient times, a guy named Sun Tzu once said that if you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles...

Well, although Lei Zihao, who failed in history, didn’t understand why people in ancient times liked to call him a grandson, what this grandson said was quite reasonable. Of course, Lei Zihao would never admit that that grandson was more knowledgeable than himself of!
Knowing yourself and the enemy, you naturally need to know the enemy's intelligence. If you want to know the enemy's intelligence, you have to send someone deep into the forest to check. However, doing so feels so dangerous...

Lei Zihao, who had had enough of the battlefield of life and death, did not hesitate to veto the act of death that he went to detect. He only had one life. If he had nothing, he would lose it. Now, he is also The boss of thousands of people, if Lei Zihao committed suicide in the forest, he would die with regret...

Very simple, but also very depraved idea!
Lei Zihao wasn't really afraid of death, he just felt that he died so easily, and the potential of the 1000-odd boys in the back wasn't brought out, how aggrieved he was!

Oh, by the way, they should be called villagers, and soldiers are considered younger brothers...

So, Leonidas, a loyal and reliable military entourage, plus two good friends, no, I mean two strong naked men!

Under Lei Zihaoyu's earnest care, he stepped into that forest without hesitation!
This forest is a treasure land. There are countless little rabbits, wild deer, zebras and so on. God knows how zebras and rabbits live together in harmony!

The most important thing is that the hunters among the villagers have been hunting for so long at the edge of the forest without seeing a single carnivorous animal!

In the end, Lei Zihao could only attribute it far-fetchedly to the reason why carnivorous animals disdain to hunt at the edge of the forest...

This forest is not only full of game, which greatly eases the food consumption of the village farmland before harvest, but also provides a large amount of high-quality wood!
The village, including the village chief's hall, is all wooden buildings. Even those thatched huts that were about to fall apart, after Lei Zihao came to this world for more than two months, many of the timber felled by the villagers have become real ones. Residential houses!
Such a nearby timber resource also speeds up the construction of the village guards a lot!
If you don't look at the surrounding terrain that is too flat, wide and undefensible, the place where Lei Zihao has chosen to make his fortune by the total war system can definitely be regarded as an excellent place!

In this way, after sending the most capable guard captain under his command to be a scout, Lei Zihao spent half a month enjoying the life of the governor, and finally waited for Leonidas and others to return in a hurry!
From the blood on Leonidas and the others, it can be seen that their investigation operation was not so smooth!
However, none of the three were downsizing or injured. The Spartan general guard is still quite powerful, or are those 'barking' kobolds too weak?

As a representative, Leonidas stepped into the second floor of the village chief's hall to report the situation to Lei Zihao!
Leonidas and the others were notified by Lei Zihao in advance to the people below, and they could let them go without notification after they came back. Therefore, when Leonidas stepped into the second floor of the village chief's hall, Lei Zihao did not receive any notification. The human mastery is concentrating on looking at the total war system operation panel opened on the wall!
The mysterious data and images emitted a faint light, allowing Lei Zihao to clearly see the characters on it. At this moment, Leonidas' magnificent body pushed the door open and entered!
