Chapter 8 The Viking Town Taking Shape
The next war was easier than the plundering war a few days ago. Because of the large number of deaths of young and middle-aged people, and Egil almost couldn't wait, they just had a strategy of splitting into seven groups after a day of rest and dispatching them in full. The seven small tribes around them all perished after sunset the next day.
In the next two days, the Viking soldiers escorted a large number of trophys, prisoners of war, and animals back to Biyad. In this way, it took a total of eight days to destroy the twelve Viking tribes around them. The army also increased its level of experience to a greater or lesser extent in the continuous combat, becoming first-level veterans. Each increased its morale, attack frequency and coordinated combat capabilities.
At the same time, the tribe's population reached 20,000, and this goal was achieved. The twelve small tribes provided Biyad with more than 18,000 prisoners of war. The women and children were also divided as spoils, while a few young and middle-aged people were thrown into the villages outside and became serfs. Some older and skilled people were placed in various workshops in the city. Those who had no income, sorry, continue to be serfs.
In this way, the population of the entire Biyad town exceeded 5,500, while the agricultural population exceeded 15,000.
The mission goal of 20,000 people has been achieved.
The upgrade requirement of 5,000 people has been reached.
Then, this should begin for a real city.
"So, what should be the standard of a real city?" Egil asked.
"This is a comprehensive question." The system elves said: "Population, first of all, is the population, with 5,000 people, this is the most basic."
“What else?”
"A complete administrative system, including a town mayor, a finance official, a civil servant, and a judge. Then there are their deputy, which together require fifteen officials."
"Well... this can be recruited."
"That's right. A full-time job has 100 gold coins and a deputy job has 50 gold coins. Attributes and other attributes are all three-star. If you want to add points, you have to add more money."
"It's okay, I've made a fortune recently, and I can afford this little money."
"In addition, some supporting buildings are needed - a lord's residence, a large town center, and a stone wall.
"All? Stone Wall? Castle?"
"Well, if you want to build a castle, that's OK."
"Castle... forget it. The whole castle is so dim that it cannot be shining in at all. The ground is full of spider webs and mice. Occasionally, you can kick out personal bones or something. It's better to have an eastern wall..."
"It's too early to think about those things."
"Well, it's too early. But I really want to go to Constantinople to have a look--and by the way, Byzantine is so strong, why did he die in the end?"
"Who do you ask me?"
"Then don't have to think about how much these things cost?"
"The Lord's residence has three thousand gold coins, two thousand gold coins in the center of a large town, and four thousand gold coins in the stone wall. There are a total of nine thousand gold coins."
"...It's so expensive." Egil sighed a little, but still gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Very good, please wait patiently for a month. It will be completed after that." After the system elves said this, they disappeared. Then, the entire Biyad was shrouded in a faint light. Outside Biyad City, the circle of tilted wooden fences were flattened bit by countless invisible hands. Then, large neatly placed stones appeared out of thin air, glued together with glutinous rice and lime juice, and a slightly thin city wall was built bit by bit.
Inside the city, the town center was also shrouded in a pale white light, and the original building system was shattered bit by bit, and then wood, stone, and blue bricks also appeared out of thin air. Automatic construction began.
Next to the town center, a Gothic building began to take shape, with a tall tower top and oval glass windows, embossing a large number of war scenes...it looked quite like that.
"One month. Really, would I have to sleep on the streets in the next time?" Egil complained. He looked at the fact that he had more than 5,000 gold coins in spare money. He decided to build something. The previous conversation with the system elves made him a little interested in marine trade. So, a dry dock and a commercial dock began to build. He recruited some ship craftsmen and merchants, and four thousand gold coins were spent all at once. Egil became a pauper again. Fortunately, in a few days, the basic farmland, mills, and livestock sheds outside the city would have to be completed. With sufficient serfs, the agricultural tax revenue was suddenly increased to 1,000 gold coins, and the captive tax was more than 1,300. There was no need to worry about not being able to pay military pay.
However, if we want to further develop, we must open up new sources of fiscal and taxation.
For example, marine trade or something.
Spread your hands.
Biyad's strength is now high or low, according to the system elves, if you upgrade to a small city, you will have the strength of an earl leader - of course, if you really fight, even if a few earls are added together on the continent, you may not be Biyad's opponent.
However, compared with those major forces, they are still too weak.
The weak are dying.
A tragedy of weakness.
Not to mention anything else, Denmark, Sweden, and England, which of these three forces disliked Egil, sent tens of thousands of troops to kill him like a bed bug.
Therefore, it is better to be a little low-key in life. In recent times, the Lord of Norway has been at the forefront. The tribes in Norway are fighting in a mess. It is an opportunity. It is impossible to unify the entire Norway. After the crown of the Norwegian king, Egil has the ability to compete with these major forces.
"So, I can only create a dragon-headed warship for my dry dock?! Are you cheating?! Are you cheating?!" Seeing the form on the recruitment list, Egil complained.
"Well, what's wrong with the Dragon-Headed Warship? The Dragon-Headed Warship is very good. The Vikings just want to use an axe, the Vikings just want to be pirates, and the Vikings just want to open the Dragon-Headed Warship - this is the Viking population tooth."
"...I won't talk about those steam iron armored ships-but at least I can make one or two large sailboats for me!"
"If the technical conditions are not enough."
"Hey? What technical conditions?"
"Have you not seen it yet? The legendary system interface - including taskbars, maps, building templates, city lists, army lists, affairs officer lists and technology lists, diplomatic lists... Have you never seen it?"
"Some have seen it, some...hehehe..."
"I really lost to you. Now open it up."
"oh."
Afterwards, Egil opened the entire system interface and decisively discovered a bunch of selection buttons on it. There is indeed a technological button.
Afterwards, the entire interface was divided into two aspects: military and civilian.
So military.
The military aspect is divided into the army and the navy.
...
This thing is quite detailed.
The Navy finally arrived, and walked towards the barracks while watching - anyway, the twenty guard knights next to him were watching, and there was no way to be ignorant. During this period, the guard knights were promoted one level after these days of battle. Egil unscrupulously gave the two upgrade opportunities to the generals to the guards. So the guard knights achieved three points of experience. While increasing the morale of three points, they also increased the attack power of the character and the defensive skills. Their strength became stronger.
The Navy can currently manufacture two types of warships, small transport ships, small fishing boats, and small merchant ships. The long-range attack capability is close to zero.
However, the dock level for building ships is quite high, and the dry docking technology can be said to be the most advanced in Europe.
Further down there are three options: large ship, medium ship and small ship.
It's really...
Large ship.
The legendary 10,000-ton lucky ship (actually a transport ship + a merchant ship, the combat efficiency is not high, but it is really intimidating).
...I can't afford it.
Next, the legendary super-class ship (there are four-layer decks, and more than one hundred artillery cannons? The displacement is 6,000 tons, three masts, soft sails, the strongest in the era of sail warships, the well-deserved sea fortress, and there are only three such estuary teeth in the world!).
...I can't afford it.
Next, the first-class ship, the second-class ship, the third-class ship, the head-level Roman ship, the dual-purpose sailing ship, the heavy crossbow warship, the two-thousand-property ship, the giant ship of the craft, the ferry warship...
OK, let's look at the medium-sized ship again.
The fourth-class ship (representative of medium-sized ships, fifty-four light cannons, and the second-layer deck. He was the one who scared the Qing Dynasty court back then. There were more than 200 sailors and sailors, with strong combat power and very good overall quality).
...
Egil suddenly felt that he didn't want to say anything.
Level 5 ships (faster speed, lower attack power, and not low combat capability. They can bully the opponent's low-level battleships, and can also be used as the forwards of the main fleet).
Then I don't want to say anything.
Then the sea loach warship (the legendary secret weapon of the Song Dynasty, equipped with the legendary waterwheel, bionic hull, sea bicycles? It is very fast, it is not. It is very strong in combat power.)
Well... this seems pretty good.
So Egil remembered this thing. Then look at the construction conditions, requirements, wood, canvas, shipbuilding technology reached level five, and mechanical technology reached level five.
...Well, basic technology, now the first-level shipbuilding technology of power and the second-level mechanical technology of mechanical technology.
This...This...
Forget it, let's continue reading.
Hawk gunboat, Arabian spinning boat, tower ship, tortoise shell ship...
"Sure enough, people should say it down to earth."
So Egil comforted himself in this way.
Finally, the small warship
Class 6 ship (the one with the strongest comprehensive quality among small warships is loaded with sixteen artillery pieces and a deck. It is fast, has strong manipulation, but has weak firepower.)
Artillery or something...
Egil suddenly felt that he wanted to complain.
A mortar gunboat.
Don't watch it anymore.
Rocket boat.
Don't watch it anymore.
Chinese dragon boat.
...This seems to be similar to the Viking Dragon-headed warship? And this one is sailing inland rivers. Is it okay to put it in the sea?
Greek Fire Battleship (a stranger among the medieval light battleships, equipped with the ultimate secret weapon of Byzantine Greek Fire, the king of the medieval Mediterranean! With special construction conditions, the development of special technology Greek Fire was successful).
...
It's a fool to the mother.
But in the end, Egil found the warship he needed and should be able to use in recent times.
Light crossbow warship (the bow is equipped with a scorpion crossbow, which is loaded with fifty sailors and sailors, and the upper and lower decks can be far or near. Demand, second-level shipbuilding, second-level mechanical technology, long-range weapon scorpion crossbow)
With a "bang", Egil slapped his thigh: "That's it - what is the scorpion crossbow?"
Chapter completed!
