Empires Start with Lords

Following Ross's order, the hoplites attacked the rear half of the enemy army, that is, the enemy army fleeing in the direction they were coming and going, so that they could drive the enemy army to disperse their formation.

As for the assault against the heavy infantry with guns, don't even think about it. Only the heavy infantry can block each other by colliding with each other. As for the enemy who shoots out their backs, the heavy infantry charges, just like a tank crushing the light infantry.

The heavy infantry charged forward, and the enemies were knocked down one after another, or stabbed by the spear. The fallen enemy was trampled by the heavy infantry's iron boots, and the enemy stuck on the spear could only cry in pain.

No one is the enemy of unity. The enemies can only try their best to escape. The leader of the coalition, the goblin chief, has now escaped with his subordinates. He already knows that he is defeated.

Ross saw that the flag representing the tribe was gone, and the goblin chief who was still in command was gone. He shouted, "Try to catch the ones alive, I want to capture them!"

The soldiers attacked everywhere, hunting down the fleeing enemies, whether it was a goblin, a goblin or a kobold, they would be caught as long as they surrendered.

Their army is disorganized and has no will to fight, and there are acts of arrest by soldiers everywhere on the plain.

"You won an unprecedented intermediate-scale war victory, rewarded with a thousand military merit points."

"This battle killed more than 1,500 enemy troops and gained 150 military merit points."

"One point of military merit can be exchanged for ten gold coins."

"A little military merit can also be used as ten gold coins in the system." Ross saw that this was probably to maintain the world's gold coin reserves. After all, he could buy food and grass in the system, and if he always used gold coins to krypton gold, the gold in this world will be less and less.

He can't always buy it in the system. He has to spend money to go to nearby forces to buy what he needs, and he has to spend money to recruit refugees, so he can use military merit for money.

Ross looked up at the sun and said with a smile, "It's just over an hour of battle. It seems that these orcs' affiliated tribes have poor fighting power."

He sighed. Not long after, Bayar came back. He saluted: "Sir, we have captured nearly a thousand prisoners. What do you plan to do with it?"

Ross pointed to the place where he fought before and said, "I plan to build a city by the river, and then dig a trench to introduce the water from the river as a moat." The river where they are located is seven or eight meters wide and the depth is unknown. It's really a good location.

Ross continued: "I can't let my soldiers do the work of farmers. These captives will then become slaves to build castles."

Bayar saluted, "Your Excellency is wise!"

After that, he began to command his subordinates, divide all the prisoners into teams, and then manage a team by one person.

As for Ross, he started spending money on materials needed for construction such as wood.

The wood produced by the system is different, some are finished products, and some are still raw materials. The finished wood side costs one gold coin, while the raw material side only needs half a gold coin.

The walls of the castle must first be made of raw materials, and the houses in the castle must be made of finished wood. Ross doesn't know how much wood he needs. He can only buy some raw wood first and let the prisoners carry them to build the walls. The remaining part of the prisoners began to dig trenches.

In order to make them more efficient, Ross spent dozens of gold coins to buy a batch of tools.

Until the sun went down, the walls of a wooden village had been erected, and arrow towers had been erected in three directions.

As for the trench, it was only less than 100 meters long, and not even one side was dug.

But fortunately, there is a wall, which can be regarded as a sense of security. The first night in the wasteland was over, and early in the morning, the slaves began to work under the supervision of their soldiers.

Ross said to Bayar: "Yesterday, the affiliated tribes of the orcs fought against us, I am afraid it is a temptation. Now the enemy already knows our approximate strength, but we still don't know the situation of the other party.

Bayar, bring a few people with you and explore the surrounding area. It is best to inquire about the news of the orc tribe. "

At Rose's order, Bayar immediately took someone and headed west.

Ross turned on the system. There was a map interface in the system. Only the places he walked through would be displayed on the system map. Otherwise, it would be darkness.

Now he watched as Bayar's team stretched out in the dark west of the map. To the west of him were mostly plains and a few hills, and those hills were low hills.

The tall ones are only about 100 meters high, the short ones are only about 70 to 80 meters, the foot of the mountain is 10 to 20 miles in diameter, and the top of the mountain stretches together like a mountain.

As for the plains, they saw pastures and fields for growing wheat. Not far away, there were tribes scattered with tents, which looked like a small tribe.

Bayar ran over to take a look, and someone in the tribe ran out with an axe, and some threw javelins or shot arrows. Fortunately, Bayar and the others escaped in time, otherwise they would not even have people and horses.

"Withdraw!" Bayar could see that the other party was very powerful. He looked at the inhabitants of the tribe who rushed out just now, and he seemed to know that they were orcs.

On the map that Ross watched, it showed the Green Flag tribe, and there were many tribes of goblins, goblins and kobolds around. And the tribe that Ross defeated yesterday was the one closest to them were the Howling Clan of Goblins, the Greenskin Taller Clan of Goblin, and the Black Nose Clan of Kobolds.

Today, all the small and medium tribes are displayed on the map, and the large tribe of orcs has not yet been displayed.

Then he saw Bayar and the others running back.

Half an hour later, Bayar came back with a few cavalry, and he immediately reported the situation of the nearby tribes to Ross.

Although he did not detect the large tribe of orcs, he had already checked out the surrounding tribes.

Although there is a tribe of orcs, it is now the end of July, and the orcs generally will not be dispatched until the beginning of September.

During this period, there will probably only be kobolds and goblins nearby to harass them.

Although it is said that there is a month, but the time is still relatively tight. He must build the wooden village and dig a moat within a month.

Relying on nearly a thousand slaves, time was tight, and Ross immediately thought of going to the frontier fortress of the Kaitar Kingdom to buy slaves. There are many kingdoms and empires in the Central Continent. Due to wars or natural and man-made disasters, many people have been arrested as slaves, and some have gone bankrupt and cannot afford to pay and are sold as slaves.

Most of the slave markets that sell coolies are in the frontier fortresses. Only handsome men and women, ordinary goods are sold in some prosperous cities in Middle-earth.

He immediately exchanged his military exploits for gold coins, and then left Bayar and two knights, as well as two hundred infantry soldiers, and he led a large army to the frontier fortress.
