Chapter 95: The England Pair
When it comes to England, the first thing that comes to mind should be the longbow guards unique to England (in fact, it stands to reason that other countries also have them, but other countries did not pay as much attention to the development of longbowmen as England did in the Middle Ages), and the second is not the strong light lancers, but the other class of the two heroes of England - heavy swordsmen.
Maybe under normal circumstances, sometimes the heavy swordsman can't even beat the walking feudal knight (it is said that it seems that the step seal has a hidden attribute - the knight attribute), but that is always in the game, but here is different, there is no so-called hidden attribute in the system, so the extra defense of the heavy swordsman compared to the walking feudal knight is to represent, up to 22 points of defense value can definitely complete the walking feudal knight with a lower defense value than the heavy swordsman.
In upgrading the longbowmen to the Yoman longbowmen, although they can't surpass the longbow guards in terms of melee values and defense values, but in terms of long-range attacks, the Yoman longbowmen with 8 attack values with armor-piercing damage attributes and extremely high hit rates have actually reached the level of the longbow guards to a certain extent. Tasks such as breaking the formation, Sun Lin was already 80% sure that he would be able to pocket the 6 territories that were not controlled by the royal family of the Learcester Empire before the wheat harvest in June, and integrate them into the York Territory and the Normandy Territory, which will soon become the strategic center of the Northwest Continent.

With the help of the system, Sun Lin used the remaining war value and a large amount of gold coins to exchange for a full 10 teams, that is, 5,000 heavy swordsmen, and expanded the 2,200 feudal knights to 6 teams of 3,000 per month. This is also thanks to the exchange of many trade and original luxury goods to be able to maintain such a large cost of Sun Lin (original luxury goods refer to such unprocessed specialties, such as pearls, amber, gemstones, etc., of course, some specially processed luxury goods can also be exchanged for gold coins, such as gold and silver ingots, spices, etc., mainly because these things cannot be produced in large quantities in the empire at present, and if they are produced, it will not work, tea, coffee, and cane sugar (although these 3 goods have not yet appeared on the market, But the Sardinian collar has already completed mass production and has begun to backlog goods, and it is estimated that it will be on the market in a few months, and the same is true of the silk that will be produced in the Herakon and Rhodes collars) These three are typical representative luxury goods.
Of course, Sun Lin did not ask for recruitment for the 3 arms of heavy sergeants, hook and sickle soldiers and Hobila rangers, mainly because these 3 types of troops belong to the early stage of the army, and the values in all aspects are no longer comparable, but if there are conditions to allow them to advance to the later class, it is estimated that Sun Lin will also recruit in large quantities at that time. Among them, the time for the heavy sergeant to be promoted to the Papal Guard is the fastest, because Sun Lin already has plans to start upgrading the city of London to a large city, and at that time, Sun Lin will also get a super battle array of heavy infantry - the Swiss Guard and the nickname "Wang Ba Crossbow", the giant shield crossbowmen with extremely lethal power but slow shooting rate are expected to take about 1 year. The upgraded Heavy Hook Scythe is expected to be in the center, as for the Light Lancers............ Well, according to Sun Lin's budget, it will take at least 100 million gold coins to upgrade the city of London into a giant city, and it will cost at least 200 million or 300 million gold coins to complete the construction of all the facilities, even with the huge profits of the sea trade in Sun Lin's hands now, it will still be a problem to be able to build it in 10 years (this is including the budget after the system cheats).
Regardless of getting rid of these late-stage troops, Sun Lin is still very satisfied with the troops he has in his hands now. On the army side, the number of human soldiers has reached about 20,000, and the level of soldiers is at the level of professional troops, and the lowest has reached the level of semi-professional troops (while upgrading the army in the fortress of Nottingham, the longbowmen on the northwest continent have also been upgraded, but there are not, such as caravan cavalry militia, etc., because their advanced route does not belong to the line of feudal knights), and the half-orc foreign legion is still unchanged 3000 people. In the navy, excluding seamen and sailors, the Hawker has already begun to be decommissioned, but there are still about 20 of them, but this type of warship may reappear in the late Middle Ages as the first small mobile warship capable of being equipped with artillery. As the main warship, the Galle warship has been mass-produced in Crescent Harbor and Sardinia, and it is expected that with the help of the system, 20 ships can be towed out of the shipbuilding ports of these two ports every 1 month, and the Naga Foreign Legion is ready to expand again, and the number is expected to be pushed to 8,000, and the Fishman Legion has reached 40,000, of which there are 20,000 alternate military aids, and even Sun Lin has planned to continue recruiting workers from Salmig, pulling 50,000 fishmen over, anyway, the maintenance cost of these fish-man armies is extremely low, Sun Lin only needs to repair the equipment and training expenses for them, and the living expenses are directly exempted, and the monthly expenses of 40,000 soldiers are expected to be less than 10,000, and the same is true for the Naga Foreign Legion.
"Is this what it's like to have an army of 100,000? It's so comfortable! However, compared with other empires, although the combat effectiveness of the army on which the sun never sets can be equal to that of ordinary empires, and the domestic technology and living standards have surpassed hundreds of years, they are still too small in terms of territorial area............... Maybe I should look a little further and the islands of the western and northern continents should also be included in the territory of the empire on which the sun never sets? It's better to make a springboard first than later............... But before that, you have to beat those orcs out of fear! ”
