On this side, Su Yue looked at the exorbitant military expenditures of the empire.
Start drawing territory blueprints as rewards directly.
"Two blueprints, I wonder what kind of result we can get?"
Smoke filled the forest, and the flames ignited by Abraham's spellcasters had not yet died down. Su Yue looked at the six Imperial steel troop carriers, and saw large numbers of Imperial soldiers being routed and imprisoned.
"Ahh!"
"Help me...help me!"
Su Yue looked at an Imperial soldier whose head was marked with negative attributes such as "burns," "scorching," and "magic phobia," and knew that he must have come from the breached left wing.
"Walter Lawrence..."
Because Su Yue's Divine Ruler can recruit one S-rank subordinate per natural month, there are currently 26 days until a new S-rank subordinate is recruited. If it were February, the cooldown period might only be 28 days.
However, Walter Lawrence, a fifth-tier Imperial cavalry commander, is now barely usable. Although his strength is average, he has the brains to command Imperial cavalry.
If others knew that Su Yue actually looked down on the strength of a Tier 5 Imperial NPC, the players would probably be furious, but that's the truth.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
Su Yue said, "You lead the cavalry to immediately go and support the Imperial artillery on the 'Balayamakan' mudflats. Those artillerymen are my treasures, and not one of them can be lost!"
"yes!"
Su Yue assigned a task to his subordinates. Gregory stood respectfully in front of him, seemingly about to kneel before his ruler: "Get up, you are the protagonist of Kafka's world."
Gregory laughed and said, "I have accomplished my mission... The enemy's left flank has collapsed."
Su Yue stared at Gregory in astonishment, "Your level has increased again?"
Lord's Log: "Your hero Gregory has gained 1 level and the skill: Tactics: Allows for quick troop formation at the start of battle."
"Queue up quickly?"
Su Yue looked at Gregory's attribute growth and found that his attribute points were also close to breaking through 10 points (free attribute points +3 per level). This guy's growth potential seems to be quite high!
Due to the lack of reference to other heroes, Gregory's main strength and focus is not on how strong he is!
His key points are 'The Noble One': the host's territory's citizens' chance of rebellion is reduced by 5%, the territory's residents' fatigue is reduced by 10%, and the territory's residents' endurance is increased by 10%; and apart from the passive amplification attributes of 'The Noble One', Gregory has no military expenditure.
Therefore, when the total number of Canaan's troops exceeded 5,000...
Military spending in the Soviet Union and Vietnam is also rising sharply.
The 2 million gold coins he earned were only enough to cover one-third of the weekly military expenses... Compared to these "money-devouring beasts," Gregory was practically a saint, a natural-born, most cost-effective worker who didn't need a salary.
"If it were any other lord, they would probably have no choice but to reluctantly disband their soldiers or ask for help in handing them over to other lords as mercenaries... Wait, mercenaries?"
An idea popped into Su Yue's mind, seemingly suggesting a lucrative opportunity... But was his mercenary operation limited to Canaan? What about the potential losses? What about the profits?
He did not dwell on the matter further for the time being.
Instead, they began extracting the blueprints.
"System, draw me two lord building blueprints!"
Su Yue smiled as he watched Elis walk towards him in the distance, arms outstretched. He was somewhat like Gao Qiqiang when he met his sister-in-law... This little girl had just handed over 200,000 gold coins to him.
How could he not reward her and give her some positive feedback...?
From now on, all his sycophants will be his behind-the-scenes investors in Canaan!
Europa's expression was indifferent.
—So-called depravity is the tacit acceptance and approval of a race's descent into a bad path... Even Jin Xiuer... The more he identifies with Su Yue's status as lord, the more the number of black feathers on the right wing will increase... As the battle between the empire and the rebels, the Heretic Eastern Expedition begins...
With the death of Cardinal Schwartz, a 7th-rank cardinal... and even being suppressed by the terrifying Silver Palace Lord, a 9th-rank demon Abraham, she knew very well...
As an angel, I have seriously neglected my duties.
This serious dereliction of duty also means that Europe's reputation in Paradise has been damaged, and it may even be unable to return to Paradise...
Lord's Log: "Congratulations, player, you have drawn the building blueprint: Rick's Guard Castle (Tier 5)."
"I'll build it to Tier 6 immediately!"
Su Yue laughed loudly. Rick's Guard, this is a powerful melee infantry unit in the Empire... large-scale group army operations, especially from a campaign perspective.
The details become increasingly blurred.
However, under the influence of Su Yue's numerous "Soldier King +35%", Europa Attack Rhythm +75% (Territory Attack Rhythm +45%, Movement Speed +30%), and Su Yue's Lord attributes, the combat power of high-level units often exceeds that of Tier 1 units.
Even some lower-tier units can achieve a terrifying level of fighting against tier 3 enemy forces at the tier 1 level.
Especially with the 'Soldier King' trait: All Imperial units gain +35% attack power.
Before this attribute was unlocked, Su Yue's Tier 1 miscellaneous infantry, including cavemen, big-eared monsters, Tier 1 human thieves, and peasant thugs, were either insufficient to become Tier 3 troops or were somewhat lacking...
Moreover, this is under the premise of wearing a full set of Tier 1 and Tier 2 armor.
The reason why Su Yue's Tier 1 troops were able to fight against Tier 1 troops was because...
On the one hand, it has "high enough morale" and possesses the attribute of "not collapsing".
It looks like it can hold off Tier 3 units!
However, the actual losses are still quite different. But now, with the influence of the "Soldier King", Su Yue's Tier 1 mixed multi-race troops are able to hold their own against the Tier 3 dwarf long-bearded heavy hammermen and confront them head-on!
"The quality of the troops is about to improve again!"
"Military spending has also increased..."
"Rick Guard Castle (Tier 5, Special Royal Building): The headquarters building of the Imperial Rick Guard. Rick Fortress is an important city of the Empire, and the troops trained there are all Imperial Guard troops. It is also known as the "Incubator of the Imperial Guard".
"Maintenance Costs: Rick's Guard Forces Expenses -5% (All Armies)"
Recruitment Cost: Rick's Guard - 20%
"New recruited troops level: Rick's Guard level +1!"
"???"
Lord's Log: "You have been attacked by a large number of Lizardman Swarms: 250-499. They are currently engaged in a predatory battle..."
“Gregory…”
"Yes, sir."
"Eliminate this group of lizardmen who are robbing us of our supplies."
"yes."
After a large-scale battle, the smell of blood lingers in the night, and it's inevitable that some troops will try to take advantage of the chaos. They're just a bunch of small fry, easily dealt with.
"You have encountered a small number of Dark Elf horde (many): 50-99..."
"You have spotted a pack of elven scouts around you. They are spying on your territory's military formations and intelligence. The Elven Empire's hostility towards the lord increases by 3, and the instability in your territory increases by 2."
"oh?"
Elf scouts?
Su Yue peered through the darkness, riding Sleipnir, "You haven't advanced yet?"
It is worth mentioning.
Su Yue discovered a message in the lord's log: a dwarven fourth-tier Thunder Shield Warrior had been promoted to a special NPC?!
"Congratulations, Lord. Your Tier 4 Dwarven Thunder Shield Warrior has been promoted to Tier 5 Dwarven Butcher, a special NPC. Please check it out yourself."
This dwarf long-bearded heavy hammer-wielder, who was once a companion and subordinate of the dwarf European player lord (resurrected and recruited by Europa, with high potential), now knelt on one knee, looking at Su Yue: "Greetings, Master!"
"May I have your name?"
The dwarf said in a deep voice, "My lord, my name is Charlotte."
Su Yue looked at his special NPC's symbol and status, which meant that he had transcended the level of a miscellaneous troop and become a manager who could serve the territory and provide buffs.
"A brewer? You can brew wine?"
"Yes, sir, dwarves are good at drinking, they like to drink, they love to drink."
Su Yue laughed and said, "Very good, go and report to Jin Ling'er. From now on, the battle will..."
"My lord, I still wish to follow you into the war. War can temper one's mind..."
Su Yue frowned... This guy's special NPC and the target of his challenge seem to be in conflict... "You have great potential, advancing from Tier 3 to Tier 4 as a Dwarven Thunder Shield Warrior, and now you've advanced to Tier 5 as a Butcher. The battlefield is indeed the best place for you to hone your skills, but are you going to disobey my orders?"
The loyalty of the divine ruler is such that betrayal is not tolerated.
Therefore, Su Yue's troops possess a ruthless, even terrifying, ability that surpasses all players and natives of the Turin world: the "unbreakable" attribute!
Even after their deaths, their souls would be taken by Abraham and continue to serve Su Yue.
It's no use dying.
Let alone during his lifetime?
Charlotte, a level 5 dwarf butcher, immediately knelt on the ground, sensing Su Yue's imposing presence: "I have died once and am not afraid of death. If I should conflict with your will, I am willing to submit to your will and rule!"
"Oh……"
Su Yue said, "I will give you a small dwarf unit to coordinate and manage. From today onwards, you will be a mid-level dwarf officer."
With his troops growing larger and his military spending increasing, he absolutely needs mid-level commanders like Walter and Charlotte to give him tactical guidance!
Europa is basically conjoined with him.
It can protect Su Yue, the strongest in the battle, and his greatest weakness!
Once Su Yue died, the army would collapse, so under normal circumstances, Su Yue and Europe were inseparable.
Europa also possesses a "personal bodyguard" quality.
It will protect Su Yue's personal safety at all times and will also perform a resurrection spell after his death.
The reason why Su Yue is unwilling to use the resurrection spell now.
He had a subconscious hope that if he died, Europa would be able to bring him back to life.
This is purely strategic perception and premeditation!
"To sacrifice a chance to save my life for the sake of about 500 troops, how should I put it? Weighing the two, I still choose to keep a 'resurrection trump card' of the sixth level."
His military spending is already high enough, and his troops are already large enough, with over 5,000 lord troops, while the number of civilians supporting him is only a mere 12,000... What does this mean?
Let alone half of the combat troops... even the comparison between one-third of the soldiers and farmers and civilians is absolutely "militaristic". Su Yue even hoped that the empire's soldiers could become proficient in farming and implement a strategy of military farming, so that the soldiers could all do farm work and develop their territories!
But in reality, this is impossible because soldiers need to assemble... require a high degree of organization, and even after removing their armor to rest, they still need to put it back on. The key is that their daily energy and expenditure, as well as training, all require maintaining sufficient "organization".
Once farmers join, it takes a long time to regroup them.
"My parliament still lacks more support in terms of politics and territorial development..."
Su Yue now feels that he is lacking in a lot.
He looked at the blueprints for the Tier 5 Rick Guard.
He laughed.
"Maintenance cost: Rick's Guard - 5% of military expenses (all troops)!" This means that even Rick's Guard, who are not under the command of Su Yue, will have their military expenses reduced by 5%.
"Something is better than nothing!! I need a global cut in military spending!"
"Rick's Guard's Tier 5 units should be among the elite of their kind among races like elves, dwarves, chaos warriors, half-elves, goblins, and halflings—and importantly, they come with a set of Tier 5 armor..."
"New recruited troops level: Rick's Guard level +1!"
"This recruit is definitely a Tier 6 unit... no, if we include Jin Xiuer's building buff, it's a Tier 6 building, recruiting a Tier 6 Rick's Guard, plus another level!!!"
"Holy crap!!! A seventh-tier Rick Guard?!"
Su Yue stared in shock at the blueprints in his hand!
This is absolutely the best of the best!
He sent a request!
"Tier 7 High-Rank Recruitment?!"
Holy crap!
