With the prompt of the system, a lot of garbled characters suddenly appeared on the originally calm system interface, and then, after the interface of the system lit up with a bright golden light, a plate of the 3 lion flag logos at the top of the original interface had an extra white base, and the standard of a golden cross was painted on it. At the same time, there is also another box on the recruitment interface of the London City troops, and there are 5 new classes in the box, namely: Italian Militia, Italian Spear Militia, Giant Shield Militia, Italian Commercial Horse Militia and Cross Chariot.

At the same time, the 4 teams of town militia and caravan horse militia in London also showed a hot gold message on the class data interface: the town militia can continue to be upgraded to the Italian militia, and the caravan horse militia can be upgraded to the Italian horse militia.

The sudden surprise smashed Sun Lin into a daze, until he poured 3 large sips of his own mellow wine, and Sun Lin, who had recovered his strength, looked at the "new" system interface and muttered: "This is really amazing!" The Italian militia, the king's eight crossbows, and even the cross chariot that has raised the morale of the whole army to the highest state can be recruited! God helps me, and .......... if this kind of troops can be recruited in the city of London, doesn't that mean that Nottingham can............"

Thinking of this time, Sun Lin immediately ended his trip in London alone, and immediately returned to the town hall to summon the 40 members of the general guard stationed in it, and easily upgraded the town militia and caravan horse militia in London City, and led the members of the general guard who had just been equipped with light plate armor, and spent more than 1 day in the Nottingham fortress, and Sun Lin, who couldn't wait, didn't even bother to dismount after entering the outer wall of the fortress, After directly letting Bai Xue and the generals and guards stand by the city gate, they clicked on the troop recruitment interface in the Nottingham fortress.

Sure enough, there are also 3 new classes on the class recruitment column in the Nottingham Fortress this time, namely the Cross Chariot, the Giant Shield Crossbowmen, and the Papal Guard. This result made Sun Lin feel a little sorry, because Sun Lin learned from the information given by the system that the equipment used by Sun Lin was a cuirass for the Swiss Guards, which was a kind of equipment that would only appear in the late Middle Ages, and this kind of equipment was still too difficult for the city of London, which could already build light plate armor in Sun Lin's hands, so if Sun Lin wanted to recruit the Swiss Guards, he must have a fortress to recruit, and now the technology in Sun Lin's hands, The ability to recruit well-equipped Papal Guards and Giant Shield Crossbowmen is already the limit, and this is still a class that Sun Lin can only obtain equipment enhancement after unlocking the technology of steelmaking.

I can't say anything to Sun Lin, the approaching system is a fair treasure, it follows the principle of equal replacement, if you want to get equipment from it, you must pay for its manpower, raw materials and food, as for recruiting those troops, the same is true, if there is no certain amount of light plate armor in London City now, the heavy swordsmen in the fortress of Fort Biliga in the northwest continent may not be able to equip light plate armor at this time. And to let this team, known as the "king of foot combat", come out so early, and when both sides are equal in number and belong to hand-to-hand combat, the Swiss Guards, who can definitely win, will indeed upset some of the balance.

Of course, no matter what, due to the inability to recruit this phalanx of troops, it does make Sun Lin's upcoming implementation of the plan for the three northwest countries to cause some obstacles, you must know that the Swiss Guard, as the name suggests, the soldiers of the Swiss Guard are all from Switzerland, this medieval period with the Swiss halberd and the entire Europa world of fierce areas, and because Switzerland is a mountainous area, so the members of the Swiss Guard are also in the hands of Sun Lin, whether it is now or in the future, They are all the soldiers who are the best at mountain combat among the hand-to-hand infantry in Sun Lin's hands, and this kind of ultimate army that is specially used to deal with mountain troops, or specially used to deal with Mars and Michar, cannot be recruited, which is indeed the biggest regret in Sun Lin's heart at present, but fortunately, the newly emerged Papal Guard has saved Sun Lin a trace of joy.

Until January, the number of heavily armored sergeants in Sun Lin's hands had been maintained at 5,000, that is, 10 squads. That is to say, until the end of Sun Lin's autumn offensive last year, in the process of distributing the 3 groups of the Marine Army at Fort Biliga, all troops, including the Hobila Ranger (because there was no so-called post station in the Northwest Territory before, and Sun Lin's post station project had not yet been successfully built due to weather and terrain and other problems, Sun Lin had to recruit some Hobila Ranger who spent very low military expenses and equipment maintenance costs in the late month of the whole training to make temporary post stations, and Sun Lin recently discovered, The Hobila Ranger is actually very high-quality in all aspects, if possible, after the Empire can produce arquebuses in the future, maybe these Hobila Ranger can be transformed into fire cavalry, and all of them have been expanded to a certain extent, only the hoplite unit has not changed at all, because at that time, the battlefield role of the hoplite is really useless. On the frontal battlefield, they can't resist the charge of Ranster's heavy soldiers, and the power of attacking the three heavy sergeants is not as strong as a heavy swordsman, and even their best siege warfare has been replaced by heavy swordsmen.

But at any time, the appearance of the Papal Guard, which was equipped with a round shield and a long-term armor jacket and a steel inlaid leather armor specially designed to defend against arrows and armor-piercing weapons, made the spear soldier active again, perhaps not as strong as the heavy swordsman in terms of attack and defense, but its strong combat effectiveness will definitely become the main force of the opponent's Warsaw Alliance.

As for the Wang Eight Crossbows, that is, the appearance of the so-called giant shield crossbowmen, also let Sun Lin see the possibility of defeat, perhaps when dealing with the Warsaw Guards of the Warsaw Alliance, the three teams of giant shield crossbowmen are not as good as a Yoman longbow in most cases, but the new pulley crossbow they are equipped with and the giant shield behind them make them the most advantageous long-range troops during the siege, and at that time, Sun Lin didn't have to think about the previous ones, due to the weak defense of his own long-range troops, so that the infantry will be attacked by local long-range attacks when charging and attacking the city, No ranged unit can fight back from above, and with the Giant Shield Crossbowmen it's a different story.

And as Sun Lin began to recruit a large number of papal guards and giant shield crossbowmen, Sun Lin's future tactics will also be greatly changed.
