Chapter 10 Departure
When the money was used, Sulun was still reluctant to be too small. After spending ten years in Karen City, he spent a lot of money on earning more than 5,000 gold coins. He bought the status of a nobleman. When he was armed with the barbarians, he also had to prepare various supplies. After all, he was still short of more than 5,000 gold coins.
Five thousand gold ners is equivalent to a year's tax revenue for a town, but only one hundred can be raised for regular troops.
Except for some ragged clothes, Sulun also had to prepare clothes for them without any other items. He brought these rough men to the west city of Carter City, which is the largest market in Carter City.
Not to mention, it was really rampant to take more than 30 two-meter-high strong men across the market. Most of these barbarians were shirtless, each with scars on their bodies, their muscles were bulging, and their bodies were tattooed. With a paralyzed face on them, tsk, his aura was always domineering.
Walking on the street, a three-meter-long isolation zone spontaneously formed. Su Lun was like a playboy who brought a group of bullies. Unfortunately, he didn't meet a passionate young man who liked to stand up for justice. Su Lun was also preparing to teach them a class so that they could experience the beatings of society.
When he arrived in the West City, Sulun took these barbarians directly to the shop where he had already booked something. As Jinnar spent it like flowing water, he exchanged a truckload of supplies, and even the barbarians changed into new clothes.
I saw those rough men wearing brand new leather armor, holding sharp axes, and rubbing their palms as big as palm fan gently on them. The expression was like stroking the skin of their lover. The wrong man, Su Lun, dared to bet that even their wives had never enjoyed such treatment.
The weapon Sulun chose for these barbarians was a two-handed axe. Of course, these axes were made according to the size of the Florentines, but for barbarians, they could be picked up with one hand. It is conceivable that a group of barbarians would take this giant axe and start a crazy state, and rushed directly into the enemy formation to swing the axe to play the "Big Windmill".
Flesh and flesh flying everywhere
Especially when facing monsters without discipline and lack of armor in the wilderness, they can be said to be completely a personal meat grinder, which kills much faster than the regular army.
Of course, they are not without weaknesses. The rationality of the barbarians in the violent state will be reduced to a minimum and can only distinguish between enemies and us. Although they are powerful, they have no discipline at all. Moreover, after the violent state is over, they will have a period of weakness.
The barbarians in the weak stage will drop by 50%, and their physical strength will drop to 30%. At this time, they are basically lambs to be slaughtered. Many times, the barbarian berserkers are seriously injured because these hot-headed guys rushed too much and fell into the siege. In the end, the violent state was lifted and they were easily killed.
Not only is anyone trying to solve this problem, whether it is the Kingdom of Florence, the Kingdom of Grent, and the Federation of Allenster in the south, they have studied this problem. After all, the combat power of the barbarians after the violent riots is still very strong.
But soon they found that this problem could not be solved at all. If the barbarians maintain sufficient rationality, they will not be able to maintain a violent state. If they want to maintain a violent state, they can only reduce their rationality.
The experiment fell into a vicious cycle, and in the end all countries gave up this thankless experiment.
After spending a day, Su Lun finally transported all the supplies back. As for whether he was cheated, there is no need to worry about this. Su Lun specially brought more than 30 strong barbarians to shock the profiteers. If the price they gave was unreasonable or the materials were inappropriate, he would not mind letting these profiteers taste like a man.
After preparing all the baggage, Sulun left two months of food for the remaining barbarians, women and children in the camp, and then led the convoy to leave Carter City.
To apply an old tactile trait, the wheels of history begin to roll.
After leaving Carter City, Sulun and his group walked northeast. There were more than a dozen cities of large and small distributed to the north of Carter City. There were many gathering points of humans around Carter City, which belongs to the actual control area of Carter City.
If Sulun wanted to expand his territory, he could only go further away. After leaving the control of Carter City, the road became rough again. The north and the south were different. There were large areas of wilderness between cities, and many robbers, goblins, kobolds, werewolves, and even humans lived in the wilderness.
The surrounding city garrisons will "clean" the wilderness near the city every time after a period of time, with the purpose of reducing the number of these things. As for completely cleaning it up, it is very unrealistic. Goblins and kobolds are like weeds in the wilderness, and their fertility is too strong, and they are born in a nest every time. Even without food, they can still eat grass roots or even soil to survive.
Sulun and his team were very large, with thirty carriages loaded with goods alone. In order to transport these supplies, Sulun specially hired a mercenary group. The total number of people in the entire team was over 100. With such a large caravan, the small tribes in the wilderness did not dare to take action at all, nor did they have the ability to take action.
This also made Su Lun's idea of taking the opportunity to kill monsters failed.
After five days in the wilderness, Sulun and his friends finally walked to Blackstone, the northernmost city of the Kingdom of Florence. This is a small border town with a permanent population of only 5,000 people. However, they have 1,000 soldiers and the city is not large. Outside the city, Sulun did not see any gathering place for humans. It is obvious that this is a fortress-type city.
The convoy did not enter the city. They bypassed the city and officially entered the wasteland. From then on, Sulun and the others could never encounter any human city again.
The real test has just begun here.
After crossing Black Rock City, the number of monsters on the wasteland increased significantly. Su Lun had discovered that there were many peeping eyes around the convoy, but these monsters hiding in the dark did not take action directly. As the convoy went deeper into the wasteland, the tails around the convoy became more and more.
By the fourth day after entering the wasteland, the tails around the convoy had expanded to hundreds. So many were enough to clean it up once.
He was going to let these barbarians try their axes and see the combat power of these barbarians.
In fact, after he officially left the city with these barbarians, his system had already received a prompt. Sulun had an army of thirty-five people.
There are also attributes of this army on the system panel:
Northland Barbarian Guard; number of 35 people.
Army: Barbarian; Morale: 85.
