With the appearance of the system prompt, this war finally came to an end, because he didn't want to see the corpse of Lao Zhangtou, so after Ning Yuan arranged for his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, he returned to Zhang Shoucai's palace with his guards first.

After returning to the palace, Ning Yuan left two hundred Condor warriors to guard the palace, and the others were sent by him to find the ordinary people who were used as bait by Zhang Shoucai.

Now that Old Zhang Tou is dead, these people are now Ning Yuan's private property, so he must get them back before dark, otherwise it will be difficult for them to survive this night without the protection of enough warriors.

Maybe because of this "following offense", Ning Yuan's luck in opening the treasure chest today was not very good, and the four props from the diamond-level treasure chest were only silver-level, and they were not as good as the two special props seized from Lao Zhangtou.

A Bronze-level Civilization Inheritance Scroll, a Silver-level Exoneration Gold Medal, a Silver-level Resource Trading Certificate, and a Silver-level Cloud Piercing Arrow, while what was seized from Zhang Shoucai was a Gold-level Civilization Plunder Scroll and a Diamond-level Escape Scroll.

Cloud Piercing Arrow: Special props, silver level, each pack of ten, can quickly fly to the air after ignition, in the process of flight, the Cloud Piercing Arrow will continue to emit a piercing sound, when it flies to the apex, it will explode with a "bang", forming a beautiful fireworks rain (can only be seen in the dark night).

The Cloud Piercing Arrow is an enhanced version of the signal flare, although Ning Yuan has never opened the signal flare, but he has seen the attributes of the signal flare on the forum.

Flare: Special props, bronze level, each pack of ten, flare is a simple firecracker, after ignition, it will immediately fly into the air and explode with a "bang".

It is also a pack of ten, and the signal flare is lit and then "bang" and it is over, and the cloud-piercing arrow will not only continue to chirp, but in the dark night, it will finally form a beautiful fireworks rain, which is much taller than the signal flare.

Of course, as a silver-level special prop, in addition to being noble, the practicality of the Cloud Piercing Arrow also greatly exceeds that of signal flares.

As you can see from the name, flares and cloud-piercing arrows are both used to deliver messages. However, the flare only has a "bang" sound, and if it is located in a noisy environment, people are likely to not hear the sound of the flare.

The cloud-piercing arrow is different, its continuous chirping during the flight will undoubtedly be more attention-grabbing, if it is at night, the effect is even better, I believe that as long as you are not blind, you will definitely be able to see the fireworks rain in the sky.

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and the Cloud Piercing Arrow is better than the bronze-level signal flare in terms of efficacy and appearance, which is undoubtedly a very practical special prop in the era of cold weapons that is very difficult to transmit information.

With it, armies in ambush in different places can attack the enemy at the same time, which can be described as a powerful weapon for commanding armies to fight together.

Civilization Plunder Scroll: A special item, Gold Level, which can be used after winning the invasion war and successfully killing the lord player of the defending side, you can plunder the opponent's special civilization while keeping your own original civilization.

Although the Civilization Plunder Scroll is a gold-level special item, it can be purchased in the system shop, of course, it will definitely be a lot more expensive in price, requiring 100 scientific research points.

If a normal lord player does not have natural wonders and wonders of the world in their territory, they will only be able to earn 30 research points a month, and 100 research points will have to be saved for at least 100 days.

In addition, they will not be able to use research points to research the tech tree during this time, so although the Civilization Plunder Scroll can be purchased in the system store, this does not affect its trade value in the slightest.

It is said that a Civilization Plunder Scroll has now been speculated to the price of 500,000 Earth Coins, and it is still the kind that has no price.

Many people may not understand, why the war-free token worth ten scientific research points is only 10,000 yuan a piece, while the civilization plunder scroll worth 100 points costs 500,000?

In fact, this point is very easy to explain, ten points of scientific research points can be taken out by a lord, but a hundred points of scientific research points can not be taken out by a few lords.

And the Battle-Free Token is a special prop at the bronze level, which can be easily opened from the treasure chest.

However, as a gold-level special item, the Civilization Plunder Scroll is not so easy to open, so when the early scientific research points are very valuable, many people would rather spend money directly to buy the Civilization Plunder Scroll than use their precious scientific research points.

Of course, if a player doesn't use a single bit of research points from start to finish, then he can use the saved research points to buy Civilization Plunder scrolls and sell them to those in need, which is also a way to make a fortune.

However, if the player lords don't use a little bit of research points, will they really be able to survive a hundred days?

Not to mention the mutual invasion between players, even the aboriginal tribes of their own plane are enough for these lords to drink a pot, and in the case of no one and no food, how many people can survive the three-month novice period?

So although this is a road to making a fortune, not many people can reach the end, and even if someone is lucky enough to reach the end, I am afraid they have lost the qualification to compete with others.

Using a precious lord qualification to bet on the 500,000 yuan, whether the deal is worth it or not is completely a matter of opinion.

Although the Civilization Plunder Scroll was very precious, it didn't seem to be of much use to Ning Yuan, as his own talent as a conqueror already had this effect.

Moreover, the Conqueror talent not only has the ability to plunder civilizations, but also plunders resources, which can be described as a two-in-one version of the Civilization Plunder Scroll and the Resource Plunder Scroll.

After having the conqueror talent, Ning Yuan no longer has to spend this unjust money, it can be said that the conqueror talent is the real priceless treasure.

I think that the reason why Ning Yuan was able to survive in the first place was because he was reluctant to accept this random god-level talent, otherwise, with his character as a player, he would rather commit suicide directly than take the initiative to bear that kind of torture and insult.

Just like Murong Yan, after knowing that she couldn't escape, she decisively chose to commit suicide, not giving Ning Yuan a chance to continue to talk at all.

While death can be a huge loss for players, it's not like they never have a chance to rise again, so many players with strong personalities would rather start all over again than be humiliated in the game.

After all, they're here to play the game, not to let the game play theirs.

After having the talent of the conqueror, although Ning Yuan could not use the scroll of civilization plunder, he could use it to sell it for money or exchange it for some special items he needed.

This expense alone earned Ning Yuan a million inside and out, and in the long run, this is indeed an astronomical amount.

In addition to the civilization plundering scroll, Ning Yuan also seized an escape scroll from Lao Zhangtou, it was unbelievable, an old man who was nearly seventy years old could be so rich, it seems that this "First Emperor" still has something.

It's a pity that the escape scroll can only be used when invading other planes, and in its own plane, it is no different from a piece of waste paper, otherwise, our First Emperor can rely on it to escape directly.

......

As the sky gradually darkened, the Condor warriors who had gone out to look for those "bait" returned to the camp one after another, and they found a total of more than 2,000 women and children and more than 100 soldiers under Zhang Shoucai.

After learning that His Majesty the First Emperor had died, all of them chose to surrender.

After all, in this barbaric era where wild beasts were rampant, these more than 100 warriors alone could not feed more than 2,000 ordinary people, so in order to survive, surrendering to Ning Yuan was their only choice.

In addition to these captives, Ning Yuan had captured more than eight hundred warriors in previous battles. Because of the advantage of the iron long stick, the Condor warriors can be said to have completely overcome the enemy's shield array in this battle, and in the situation of closing the door and fighting dogs, the Condor warriors basically have no casualties.

Ning Yuan led the army to fight so many battles, and this was the first time that there was such a complete victory over the other side, and there were no casualties on his own side, which shows how terrible the arms are on the battlefield.

Although the enemy's shield array overwhelmed the archers on Ning Yuan's side at the beginning, when the shield array was broken by the Condor Legion, the archers immediately became messengers for their lives, and the enemies who were surrounded in the middle could only watch them keep harvesting.

If this battle is not absolutely suppressed by the archers, then even if the Condor Legion can win in the end, there may be a lot of losses, after all, they need to advance little by little, until the enemy is completely routed in the end.

And the appearance of archers directly allowed them to skip this step.

In the absence of long-range attack means, they only need to surround the enemy tightly, and leave the heavy responsibility of striking the enemy to those archers, this kind of battle of closing the door and fighting dogs and catching turtles in urns is too easy.

On the other hand, Zhang Shoucai's side, although he made an infantry shield, his weapon was still a stone spear tied to a wooden pole, compared with the iron rod in the hands of the Condor warriors, this wooden stone spear was still too backward.

The iron rod in the hand of the Condor warrior can be stabbed, smashed, and blocked, and he can use it however he wants, and he can't break it anyway.

But the stone spear in their hand can only be used for stabbing blows, because the wooden spear shaft is not so strong, so in order to avoid the spear shaft from breaking, they only have the stabbing attack.

In the past, when dealing with barbarians armed with stone axes, these warriors only had to stab their spears through the gaps between their shields.

Because those armed with stone axes who want to attack the shield array must rush closer, this is when the length advantage of the stone spear is revealed, and they can stab the enemy before they can attack the shield array.

Although the stone axe is also a blunt weapon, it is made of stone after all, so even if the enemy can use the stone axe to hit the shield, the final result is often a dent in the place where the shield was smashed, and the stone axe is likely to break or shatter.

It can be said that Zhang Shoucai's previous victories basically relied on the shield array to restrain the enemy's stone axe, and then won by the spearmen who kept assassinating the enemy.

This trick can be described as a hundred tried-and-true tricks, as long as the enemy can't break through his shield array, then he can only be eaten away by the spearmen in the shield array little by little.

It's a pity that he met Ning Yuan this time, although the iron long stick is not very restrained in the shield array, but due to the lack of strength of the stone spear, the spearmen inside can only watch the enemy break the shield array one by one.

If they were holding a spear five or six meters long at this time, then the Condor warriors would not have any chance to attack the shield array, and as long as the Condor warriors dared to approach, they would use the spears in their hands to pierce the Condor warriors.

Zhang Shoucai's shield array is like a wooden barrel, and the lack of attack ability is the shortcoming of this barrel, and the Condor warriors just grasped this shortcoming, thus defeating the entire shield array in one fell swoop, creating an excellent output opportunity for the archers, and finally won a complete victory.

Although Zhang Shoucai's shield array was broken by Ning Yuan, the main reason was not that there was a problem with his idea, but that the existing conditions could not meet his idea.

So our lord Ning Yuan, who is good at summarizing, began to set his eyes on this shield array, after all, when he saw this shield array for the first time, Ning Yuan was taken aback.

Learning must be learned, but it can't be copied completely, because Ning Yuan found that the shield array invented by Zhang Shoucai had one of the biggest drawbacks, that is, the mobility was too poor.

This shield array invented by Lao Zhang Tou looks awesome and coaxing when it can be defended, but it is not difficult to find that he has always been in a passive situation.

In other words, this shield array is waiting for the enemy to rush over and take the initiative to attack, once the enemy grows his brain and does not choose to be hard steel with them, then the entire shield array is like a Maginot Line, which can only become an ornament.

That's right, Ning Yuan is the brainless guy, although he is good at summarizing afterwards, he is always prone to hot-headedness when fighting, and this is also the case today.

In fact, he could have sent an army to hold back the enemy, and then led another army to attack the enemy's base camp himself, but unfortunately at that time, he only had those enemies in front of him,......。

Of course, mobility is not always necessary, and if you have an absolute advantage in the terrain, such as when you are in a certain place, mobility is not so important.

Because if the enemy wants to pass, he must carry out frontal toughness, otherwise he can only retreat obediently.

After comparing Wei Wushu's fighting style with Lao Zhangtou's shield array repeatedly, Ning Yuan came to a conclusion that both had their own advantages and disadvantages, and if the two were not to be pitted against each other, Wei Wushu should be able to achieve a complete victory.

Three-layer heavy armor, halberds, crossbow arrows, iron swords, and rhino-faced oars are the standard configuration of Wei Wushu.

From these equipment, it can be seen that Wei Wushu is a special army with both offensive and defensive capabilities, and they have no obvious shortcomings, and in the field, if they want to defeat such an army, they will pay a very heavy price.

If you have to find a shortcoming for Wei Wushu, I'm afraid it will be a difficulty in training. can attack and defend, can be near and far, and if you want to train such an all-round army, you will definitely pay a lot of price.

First of all, let's not talk about equipment or anything, after all, without these equipment, they can't be called Wei Wushu.

You must know that the reason why the special forces are strong is that in addition to the careful selection of personnel quality, the assembly allocated to them also accounts for a large proportion.

Without equipment, even if you train them to be elite, the enemy will shoot a wave of arrows, they will still die, so weapons and equipment must be available.

Secondly, if you want a person to master so much equipment from scratch, rigorous training must be essential, and the time of this training is definitely not short.

After all, in the battle on the battlefield, the strength of the individual is insignificant, and only a coordinated battle formation can bring out the maximum combat effectiveness of these fighters.

Finally, elite soldiers need to be selected, not everyone can master these weapons and equipment, people's physical fitness is different, some congenitally weak people are not suitable to participate in this kind of training, because they do not have enough physical strength to support it.

However, it seems that in this special era, this most important personnel requirement is the easiest to achieve, because of the cruelty of the living environment, most of those frail and sickly individuals have been eliminated by nature, and those who can survive are the strongest individuals.

Therefore, Ning Yuan wants to train Wei Wushu, there is no need to worry about personnel at all, there are not many others in the Condor tribe, that is, the muscles with developed limbs are the most, and now it is precisely the equipment and time that restricts him from training Wei Wushu.

Compared with the difficulty of Wei Wushu's training, Zhang Shoucai's castrated version of the Macedonian phalanx is relatively simple.

Although this phalanx also needs a certain amount of equipment support, compared to Wei Wushu's varied equipment, this phalanx needs much less equipment.

The two most important core equipment of the entire phalanx are shields and spears, as long as the shields and spears are manufactured, then the entire phalanx will be initially formed.

In view of the fact that the real Macedonian phalanx also needs the protection of auxiliary troops, at this stage, it is more practical to defend the shield array of Lao Zhangtou, as long as the shield array is placed on favorable terrain for defense, the enemy will pay a very heavy price if he wants to break through the shield array.

And the Condor tribe is not as poor as Lao Zhangtou here, there are no archers, the elven archers are the best archers in the world, with their assistance, this shield array is even more unbreakable.

Therefore, before training the real Wei Wushu, Ning Yuan was ready to get this shield array out first.

Shields can only be done this before tin or lead can be found, while spears are simple, and the problem of spear shafts is solved by experimenting with which wood is the hardest.

As for the spearhead, we have to wait, these blacksmiths in the Condor tribe have not yet been able to create qualified spearheads, and it seems that the plundering of the dwarf civilization must be put on the agenda.

In addition to learning this kind of shield array in Ning Yuan's invasion this time, I am afraid that the biggest gain is that he can get the copper ore here.

The metal that Zhang Shoucai used to make the shield was copper, which should be said to be pure copper.

Copper was one of the first metals used by humans.

As early as prehistoric times, people began to mine open-pit copper mines and use the obtained copper to make weapons, tools and other utensils, and the use of copper had a profound impact on the progress of early human civilization, and the discovery of copper was a starting point for mankind to enter the Bronze Age.

However, pure copper is relatively soft and not suitable for making weapons, as evidenced by the shields smashed by the Condor warriors, and if you want to make a weapon out of copper, you must add tin or lead to it to make it bronze.

Bronze has the characteristics of low melting point, high hardness, strong plasticity, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and bright color, which is very suitable for casting various utensils and weapons.

Although I don't know if there will be a bronze sword like the ancient one in this game.

But with the advent of bronze weapons, the whole pattern of the game will be completely changed, the Stone Age will be completely ended, and the barbarian tribes who are still armed with stone axes will be eliminated.

In addition to these uses, copper has one of the greatest uses, that is, it can be minted into currency.

With the continuous development and progress of society, the germ of private ownership will gradually emerge, and when private ownership develops to a certain extent, the emergence of money is an inevitability.

At that time, people's daily lives will be inseparable from money, which can not only represent the amount of a person's wealth, but also an important medium for "daily communication" between people.

If there is no money circulating within a power, then it will never want to develop, because it will not be competitive within itself and will not be able to mobilize everyone.

In the game of Savage and Civilization, although the player lord cannot mint the currency himself, they can take the gold, silver, and copper they get to the system and directly exchange them for the corresponding gold, silver, and copper coins.

The reason why Nuwa deprives players of their coinage rights is mainly to prevent players from cheating on coinage and shortages.

And a unified monetary system is also conducive to various transactions between players, between players and aborigines, and between aborigines and aborigines, so that inflation will not easily occur in the game.

The copper mine discovered by Zhang Shoucai was an open-pit copper mine, which had not been completely lit up so far, so Ning Yuan simply plundered the entire copper mine along with the camp, and the location was selected on the south side of Wanjun Mountain.
