Lord of Rot

Chapter 332 Recruit Selection and Juli Boy (page 13)

early morning.

"Hiccup~"

I worked hard yesterday to earn work points and buy myself a full meal.

After eating and drinking, Luka took a basin of water and wiped his face.

Different from when I first arrived, the lord no longer provides meals. Everyone must work hard to earn work points on their own if they want to have enough to eat.

Although there is a lot of work in the entire territory, the work points are fixed, which means that everyone has to work harder to get the work points and fill their stomachs.

Luca's job is the envy of other slaves.

Although I have to deal with those squirming bugs every day, they move slowly and do not hurt people. Apart from chopping down trees for feeding, the workload is not large. The most important thing is that I have enough work points and earn a lot.

"Are you really not going?" There was a young man standing next to Luka.

The young man came from the Endor Plateau. According to him, he was caught by other bandit tribes while herding sheep, and then sold to High Blood City as a slave.

This is how most of the slaves in Gaoxue City came.

Although the boy really wanted the job opportunity in this silkworm village, he had a good relationship with Luca and he didn't want to see his friend being teased.

After all, if Luca doesn't work today, he won't have work points to eat, and when he comes back, he will also lose the opportunity because he doesn't work in the silkworm village today and will have to wait for reassignment.

You might not be able to eat for several days.

I also heard that if they are not selected, some people will come back with injuries.

"I want to be a soldier!" Luka said seriously: "An adult said that I am very suitable to be a soldier."

But the young man advised: "Those little stewards like to make fun of us slaves. If you are so skinny, you will never pass their selection line."

As a soldier, you can get paid, you can have enough to eat, and you can get rid of your status as a slave.

It is the fastest way for young slaves to improve. During the first selection, almost all young slaves participated, but the vast majority were screened out in the first step, including Luca and the boy in front of him.

Because they are too thin and unqualified.

Luca shook his head and said, "I want to give it a try. Only by getting rid of my status as a slave can I go back to find them in the future."

"beep--!!"

The sharp whistle sounded again, and the boy patted Luka on the shoulder and said, "Then I wish you success, and may the God of War bless you."

"Yeah!" Lucason took a breath and walked in the direction he had inquired about.

When Luca arrived, a group of people had gathered here.

They were all slave boys, each tall and physically strong.

He looked short and thin among this group of slave boys, and was easily overwhelmed by the crowd.

The two thin arms exposed make people wonder if a gust of wind blows over and he will be blown away directly.

A wooden box was placed in front of all the teenagers.

The elegant nobleman, who was wearing exquisite armor and combing his long hair, jumped onto the wooden box and looked down at everyone.

"Everyone, take your own number plate!" the noble man said loudly: "I won't tell you how many people will be selected today. It is possible that all of you will pass, and it is possible that all of you will not pass! Remember, only Only a true warrior can be qualified to wield a sword for your lord!"

"Okay, line up and follow me. Remember to keep quiet. If you are not quiet, you can go back directly."

The slave boys cherished this hard-won opportunity to change their destiny.

Moreover, the enslaved life in Gaoxue City has suppressed their bloody nature. Even a freer life for such a long time has not brought about much change.

Hundreds of people gathered together and formed a long queue. Apart from the sound of walking and the sound of clothes rubbing against each other, there was almost no other movement.

Luca was among this group of sturdy teenagers. He was very excited at this time, because the young steward did not lie to him yesterday, and he could really participate in the selection!

They were led to a huge open space.

There are stacks of red bricks piled in the distance, with straw and weeds spread on them to keep out the rain.

This is the latest planned area for building houses and factories. However, the mason construction team is still too busy for the time being and has too much work to do, so this area has only been initially divided and sorted out as an open space for future expansion.

The open space is just used for selection.

Lacey looked at the teenagers in front of him who were full of hope and desire.

As the population of the two territories increased, Lacey and Quick Blade had to speed up the training and selection of new recruits.

The expansion speed of my lord is beyond imagination. In less than two years, the population has grown from two hundred people to nearly ten thousand people now.

Moreover, his lord has a different operating philosophy from other nobles. He is willing to bear the cost of training soldiers to create elite soldiers, instead of letting farmers carry pitchforks and iron rakes to the battlefield.

In the eyes of other nobles, militiamen are just consumables with no value. If they die on the battlefield, they can even save part of the cost.

In the eyes of his lord, every population has its own value. The lord even said that farmers are the foundation of the territory. This is completely different from what Lacey has been exposed to in the past.

Lacey also strongly supports the Lord's training of soldiers because he hopes to gain more glory through war...

The Musketeers showed considerable power on the battlefield, and even fought a siege of Longship Castle that shocked the entire East Gorge.

But after the war, Li Qi discussed with Lacey and others about the disadvantages of our soldiers in this war.

First of all, the number of soldiers is too small. 300 people against 2000 is already the limit. Moreover, considering that the opponent is frightened out of their wits by being beaten, their morale is in chaos, and their position is in disarray. If the monkey soldiers really rush over desperately, In a battle where we plan to die together, it's hard to say whether we will win or lose.

Secondly, the basic quality of soldiers is very poor.

It's okay to let them fire guns, but the shooters trained in a short period of time do not have strong melee capabilities. If they shoot with their eyes closed, it doesn't matter whether they hit or not.

But when it comes to picking up weapons for close combat, the monkey soldier can definitely pick off two or three of them alone.

Unfortunately, the monkey soldiers were frightened by their sophisticated equipment and armor, and mistakenly thought they were facing an elite army. They did not know that these soldiers were cutting grass with sickles a few days before the war.

The third point is that when the monkey soldiers faced volleys of muskets on the battlefield, they found ways to deal with the muskets as quickly as possible. After the battle of Longship Castle spread, other lords would definitely notice the muskets.

When there is a war in the future, there will definitely be methods of combat against muskets, so it is not advisable to use muskets as the core weapon.

To engage in science in the world of magic is to some extent neglecting the fundamentals and pursuing the inferior.

Even with Li Qi's nine years of compulsory education, he couldn't develop any advanced weapons, so the hot weapons in his case were just special weapons, used to assist. What really needed to be improved was the basic qualities of the soldiers.

If you can pull out a team of thousands of extraordinary soldiers, all artillery shells and muskets will be useless!

If there is a legendary team of a thousand people, Li Qi dares to directly rule this planet and develop towards alien planets. See if there are elf Chang'e and Warcraft Moon Rabbit on the moon.
