Comment: The lonely king led his remaining people back to their homeland and built this city with tall walls. With the arrival of some residents, the city has become more lively and vibrant. Everything is going in a good direction. The city's military is strong, with many soldiers of appropriate age! The city can fully defend itself even in the face of a large-scale attack. Note: The Grand Duke of the Principality of Nyx has fled here, and the entire country is still without a mistress or heir.
Abilities: As the only territory of the Kingdom of Lagrang in Middle-earth, it attracts the remnants of Lagrang. The system guides a group of wandering Lagrang civilians to it every day, hoping that the lord can properly accommodate them.
Allows the recruitment of local civilians to train Flood Infantry.
The city of Jiliu, which could only withstand small-scale attacks before, can now withstand large-scale attacks from the enemy after the arrival of this army. 300 ordinary archers have brought about a qualitative change in the city's defense. It must be said that the damage that archers can cause when relying on the city is terrifying!
The most important thing is that the city has enough troops to keep a reserve force. City defense with and without a reserve force are two completely different concepts. The current Jiliu City can fully carry out a large-scale and long-lasting war without collapsing.
However, after taking a closer look at the army's attire, Roland was speechless. They were indeed a team that had survived the wilderness. Their mail armor was almost completely broken, with large pieces missing. Their leather armor was even worse. Some were considered worn out, while others were so worn out that they could only be held together with a few hemp ropes. Most of their clothes had become beggar's attire. The most dazzling and beautiful thing in the entire army was probably the military flag... Looking at the weapons, Roland almost sent them away on the spot. Aside from their barely usable spears, the spearmen's shields were either broken in battle or discarded to reduce the load. At least half of the spearmen had no shields.
The archers were better off, at least everyone had a longbow in their hands, but when you went around behind them... there were almost no arrows in the 50-arrow quiver. Most archers had shot out their stock while fleeing, but compared to those archers who died in battle, they were still lucky, at least they had a chance to empty their quivers.
The light cavalry did not lose much equipment, and their weapons were basically intact, including a lance and a long sword. However, the spear heads of many light cavalrymen had varying degrees of damage and were almost scrapped.
"It seems that except for the heavy shield soldiers whose equipment is intact, everyone else's equipment needs to be refurbished..." Roland's eyes twitched, and his heart suddenly twitched with pain. What a huge expense this would cost.
"Ah...Caslo, take them to find Yun Feng and ask him to find a way to equip these soldiers with equipment." Roland finally decided to leave this troublesome matter to Yun Feng to solve. Anyway, all the blacksmith shops in the city were now managed by Yun Feng. Together with the blacksmiths found among the refugees, the needs of these soldiers could be easily met. It was only a matter of time.
"Okay, Your Highness." Caslo nodded in agreement. It was time to change the equipment of these soldiers. It would be murder to let them fight with such equipment.
…
"Your Highness, are you going to kill me?" In the evening, Yun Feng walked in with a dark face, lifting the door curtain.
"What's wrong?" Roland was puzzled.
"This is the first time I've seen a lord arranging for a wise man to make equipment for nearly 500 people... You're going to tire me out." Yun Feng sat down with an unhappy look on his face. He didn't treat himself as an outsider at all. He thought that a sixth-level professional was enough to receive such treatment. In a sense, their status was equal to that of the great lord.
"It's just some simple standard equipment. It should be quick to use alchemy, right?" Roland asked.
"I'm just a little faster at making magic equipment and magic items, but for these ordinary carriers, I also need to hammer them out one by one. It's not something that can be quickly achieved through alchemy..." Yun Feng explained to Roland with a dark face.
"Is that so... I thought the raw materials would immediately become equipment after one alchemy..." Roland didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"So these things still have to be made by ordinary blacksmiths. It will take me forever to make them by myself?" Yun Feng spread his hands helplessly.
"But we don't have enough blacksmiths..." Roland was helpless. After all, there were only two blacksmiths in the entire city of Jiliu, and it was rare to find people with special skills among the refugees.
"Then we can only buy them from the dwarves. However, Your Highness, the war is not urgent for us now, so we can relax the production time for this batch of equipment. This way, the blacksmiths will have enough time to make them." Yun Feng suggested. Anyway, they are not fighting with the orcs now, so the demand for these equipment is not particularly urgent. If the blacksmiths make them on time every day, all the equipment can be completed by the time of the expedition to Moria.
"Forget it, let's do it your way..." Roland agreed decisively after calculating his wallet. After all, the price of customizing a full set of equipment from the dwarves was not cheap, and the dwarves were not philanthropists, so it was impossible for them to give Roland weapons and equipment every day.
"A wise choice, my king." Yun Feng breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that he could think this way proved that his king was not mentally retarded. There was no need to spend a lot of money to get items that were not urgently needed. After all, all it took to make a batch of equipment was time, and the richest people in Jiliu City only had time left.
"Maybe it's time to improve the quality of life of the residents." As the saying goes, when you have enough food and clothing, you will think about the future. Roland is no exception. After solving the safety problem, the whole city can be said to be on the right track.
