Chapter 74 Elite Arms
The next morning, Zhang Yang went to the training ground.
The training ground at this time was not the small circle more than a month ago.
To the east is against the newly built city wall, to the north is a piece of houses, to the south is a large area of green farmland, and to the west is all occupied by the training ground.
It is two hundred meters long from north to south and 1,000 meters long from east to west. It is surrounded by fences made of logs, which looks very grand.
At this moment, the 100 new recruits were training in the training ground, sweating profusely, which was spectacular, but even so, they would occasionally be beaten and scolded by the instructor Qin Ge.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yang was not in a hurry and was waiting on the edge of the training ground, but soon he felt something was wrong.
I sent 100 new recruits five days ago. Are there enough of these new recruits now?
Look left and right, counted again and again, the number of these recruits was always only 87, and 13 were missing!
Zhang Yang felt a little furious at this moment, because the population in the village is so tight now. Each one is a treasure, and suddenly there were 13 fewer people. Fortunately, he did not have a heart disease, otherwise the whole book would have to be over.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yang went to the barracks next to him and found no sick recruits. He opened the training ground attributes of the village building order, and the information inside made him furious.
"You have 87 recruits in training."
What the hell?
It would be fine if the 100 recruits had not been trained for five days.
There are still 13 missing. Are you a training ground or a murder cave?
However, Zhang Yang was different from the past, and the anger in his heart was suppressed by him within a few seconds. I think that the instructor should give him a reasonable explanation.
The training of the recruits was soon over, and the instructor Qin Ge, who was always sick, walked straight over and showed a smirk that was even worse than crying.
"I have met the village chief. Are you here today to end the training of the recruits?"
"What does it mean?" Zhang Yang looked at the guy with no expression on his face.
"Oh, the village chief has been very busy these days, so I have no chance to report that among the 100 recruits you brought before, there are five elite-level seedlings and twenty-five outstanding seedlings, so I took my own initiative to change the training method. After all, the training ground has been upgraded to level 3, so I naturally can't let you down for your trust, the village chief."
The instructor Qin Ge still had the tone of recovering from a serious illness. This was really a fool. His voice was quite loud just now.
However, at this time, Zhang Yang had already calmed down his anger, and what he was thinking was whether the best and most important part of the five hundred recruits were concentrated on the recruits.
At this moment, he saw the sick instructor and immediately became kind. What a great instructor. He needs training even if he is sick. No, he must raise the salary. Well, he is a meal and give him meat. It's enough.
"Very good, tell me more carefully." Zhang Yang smiled brightly.
"Yes, village chief, after I changed this training method, the recruits will change from having only three profession choices to having four profession choices, namely longbow soldiers, swords and shield soldiers, spearmen, and two-handed swordsman. The first three are conventional soldiers, and the latter is elite soldiers, which means that as long as you walk out of the training ground, you will be elites."
"However, this training method is a bit cruel. In the past five days, six deserters have appeared, seven of whom are exhausted and eliminated. As for me, all the deserters have been killed. The eliminated ones have been sent back to the residence. I probably won't live long. I can't ask for instructions in advance. If the village chief blames me, I will never say anything."
Zhang Yang opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
In theory, this is a good thing, so he decided to hear nothing in just one second.
"How long will it take to complete the training? In addition, do you provide weapons and equipment for the new soldiers?"
"Report to the village chief, the entire training takes ten days, today is only the sixth day, by then you can get about 40 two-handed swordsmen, and the rest can only be used as a regular army."
"As for the weapons and equipment of the new soldiers, sorry, the village chief, my training ground only provides training wooden swords, wooden guns, and wooden shields. If you need it, just take it away."
Zhang Yang thought about it for a moment, and it seemed to be the same.
"Then I need to know the specific combat effectiveness and advantages and disadvantages of this new recruit, as well as their situation after they advance."
"As you wish, the two-handed swordsman is a first-level elite army, with strength e, agility e, defense f+, two-handed weapon proficiency of 300, and skill slash."
"The advantage is that it moves fast and has high attack damage. Almost ten two-handed swordsmen can kill a green wolf when half of the casualties are killed or injured. With tactical command, at least 50 regular first-level soldiers are required to kill a green wolf."
"As for the disadvantage, it is because there is no shield, so the defense is very low, and it is restrained by the long-range troops until it dies."
"A two-handed swordsman needs a captain-level monster remnant soul, and then it will be upgraded to a second-level elite army mad swordsman, power d, agility d, defense e+, two-handed weapon proficiency 400, skilled slashing, if the enemy has long-range troops, their damage output is not inferior to the third level of the conventional army at all."
"The Crazy Swordsman is the Storm Swordsman who is promoted to the third level, but he needs a hero-level monster remnant soul, that is, those monsters above level 25. Their attributes are strength c, agility c, defense d+, two-hand weapon proficiency 500, and skill Storm Slash. If the enemy's long-range troops are not considered, their damage output is comparable to that of a one-star hero."
"Finally, compared with the conventional troops that can only be upgraded to the third level, the elite troops can be upgraded to the fourth level. Although it is not as good as some of the legendary troops that can be upgraded to the fifth level or even the ninth level, it is already quite good. Only three hero-level demon souls can be used to upgrade the Storm Swordsman to Hurricane Swordsman, Strength B, Agility B, Defense C+, Two-hand Weapon Proficiency 600, and Skill Hurricane Slash, which is completely comparable to a three-star hero."
After listening to the introduction of instructor Qin Ge, Zhang Yang had a rough understanding of this army. It is not a unimaginable force, but it is very targeted, has obvious shortcomings, and has more obvious advantages. As long as the enemy does not have long range, it is invincible in close combat, which is what it means.
In addition, the attribute advantages of this type of soldier are very obvious. The force-sensitivity attribute of conventional first-level soldiers is only f+, and the force-sensitivity attribute of this elite first-level soldiers is e. It is two levels away, and it can also be upgraded to the fourth level. Although it is difficult to upgrade, it is always easier than starting a hero trial.
"Very good. You leave 40 recruits who are most likely to complete the training. I want to let them complete the training immediately. Just follow the ratio of 30 long bowmen and 17 sword and shield soldiers."
Zhang Yang made a decision quickly. Although the elite troops were very attractive, the conventional troops could be mass-produced quickly at this stage. Wu Yuan was still waiting to train these recruits to throw wooden spears.
"As you wish." Instructor Qin Ge seemed stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything.
Soon, 47 new recruits passed the training ground and became first-level soldiers. This process must be completed in the training ground. At this time, they will obtain the first-level weapons and equipment given by the village building order, leather armor, long spear, long bow, feather arrow, long sword, wooden shield.
Then, they will be sent to Wu Yuan, strengthened to elite soldiers with ordinary monster souls, and finally strengthened to captain-level soldiers with captain-level demon souls.
But Zhang Yang always felt something was wrong. After checking the village building order, he suddenly realized that these 47 new recruits actually had the new attribute of morale. As long as the morale is lower than or equal to 45, the soldiers will have an 80% chance of escaping.
"What is the critical point of the morale of the two-handed swordsman you trained to trigger the escape?"
Zhang Yang, who could not bear it, could only look back and ask instructor Qin Ge, if the elite soldiers were so cheating, he would really go crazy.
"Mr. Village Chief, don't confuse the concepts of elite soldiers and elite troops. Elite soldiers refer to soldiers who are outstanding among conventional troops. However, elite troops, if they are described as outstanding, it is an insult to them."
"So, in battle, only if the morale value of elite troops is less than 10, they will have a 30% chance of escaping in the face of battle. The remaining 70% will still fight to the end. Finally, if they are in a non-combat state, unless the morale value is 0, they will not be deserters."
Instructor Qin Ge replied with a smile, no matter how he looked, he seemed to be gloating.
At this moment, Zhang Yang wanted to punch him according to his smiling face.
