Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords

After a series of battles, the barbarians are all Tier 4 units, and there are even eleven Tier 5 units.

Li Wei looked at their standard equipment at each stage and found that, in terms of weapons alone, the battle axes and war hammers made of refined steel bought from the dwarves were not much worse than the standard weapons of Tier 5 units, so there was no need to replace them.

After comprehensively comparing the standard armor of Tier 4 and Tier 5 units, Li Wei found that the defense gap between the two was not very large.

Tier 4 units wear chain mail underneath and a layer of lamellar armor on the outside, while Tier 5 units wear a full set of plate armor.

However, the price difference between the two is extremely large. The former only costs 30 gold coins per person, while the latter costs nearly 80 gold coins.

After a little thought, Li Wei decided to exchange for forty sets of Tier 4 lamellar armor.

The barbarians will definitely upgrade later, so use the Tier 4 lamellar armor to transition for now, and then directly buy Tier 6 standard equipment when they are all Tier 6.

One thousand gold coins is definitely a huge sum in the eyes of civilians, enough to buy several maids and a manor to live a leisurely life, but it is only enough to make a sound when used to arm the army.

In the blink of an eye, the thousand gold coins given by Beatrice disappeared, and he had to add two hundred more.

A famous person once said that war is burning money, but Li Wei thinks this is nonsense, because burning money is not so fast.

The development of Highcliff Castle is like a gold-swallowing beast, and there is no prospect of return in the near future.

It is said that the Debella Kingdom invests millions of gold coins in military affairs every year, but of course, how much of it actually goes to military affairs is unknown.

Li Wei slumped on the recliner, feeling hopeless. He thought that after becoming a lord, he would be surrounded by maids, ladies, and endless banquets.

As a result, being a lord is not as good as when he was a mercenary. At least Mrs. Philia never charged him for his wine, and sometimes even gave him money.

"Well, after this is over, I must quickly get the military industry of Highcliff Castle up and running, and then make a lot of money in the wilderness."

The lord thought with a sigh.

Li Wei never thought about opening a restaurant or making soap like in his previous life. How could these things make as much money as the arms business?

An iron weapon in Debella probably costs dozens of silver coins, but in the wilderness, Li Wei dares to sell it for several gold coins, with a profit of at least five times.

Debella strictly prohibits the sale of weapons and equipment to the wilderness, which has led to extremely high prices for these things in the wilderness.

Li Wei is not afraid that these wilderness natives will pose a threat to Highcliff Castle with weapons.

He has strict indicators for the sale of weapons.

Eliminate the first generation, lag behind the second generation, mass-equip the third generation, elite-arm the fourth generation, research the fifth generation, and plan the sixth generation.

He only sells the lagging generation to the outside world.

Moreover, how can selling weapons to them allow them to live a stable life?

For example, Li Wei sets the number of people who buy weapons from him. When extra people want to join, he says:

"I'm sorry, the production capacity of Highcliff Castle is limited. We have already signed agreements with three tribes and cannot sell more weapons. It's difficult for me too."

This group of wilderness natives will definitely go back and fight each other like dogs. After all, you are right next to me, and now you are well-equipped. Who knows if you will suddenly attack me?

It's better to strike first and then grab this spot.

The more fiercely a bunch of tribes fight each other, the more money Li Wei makes.

Soon, Zart was called in. When he saw the wooden boxes full of the ground, he looked puzzled. Li Wei kicked open one of the boxes.

"This is armor?!"

Zart took out the lamellar armor placed in the box with his hand and was surprised and delighted to find that the size was just right for the orc's body.

You must know that armor can be said to be another life. In terms of importance alone, a soldier wearing heavy armor can抵十个 at least抵十个 soldiers without armor.

The barbarians only have twelve sets of iron armor, and the rest are all leather armor. Zart didn't expect the boss to get so many more. Looking at the quantity, it's just enough to arm the remaining orcs.

Although the Fade Remnants also have some iron armor, it is too small for them, whose average height is two and three blades.

And it is obviously impossible to buy it back at this time.

So he couldn't figure out where the boss conjured the armor from out of thin air.

"War God..."

Facing Zart's questioning gaze, Li Wei just smiled inscrutablely, uttered two words, and then pointed to the Fade Remnants passing by outside and made a silent gesture.

Zart immediately understood and nodded, and went to find the barbarians to receive the equipment as if nothing had happened.

...

Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Wei calculated an account. The cost of upgrading the barbarians is actually nothing. The big head is always equipment.

A Tier 6 unit must cost at least more than one hundred gold coins to assemble. If it is a thousand soldiers, it will cost more than one hundred thousand gold coins.

And this is not a one-shot deal. Although the first expense is the most, these thousand soldiers will also cost ten thousand gold coins a year to support.

It's like buying a car in the previous life. Just spending hundreds of thousands to buy it doesn't mean it's over. You still have to spend thousands of dollars every month for maintenance, refueling, and the like.

Debella's annual military expenditure is millions of gold coins. If all of it is used to support soldiers without discount, it can support at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

But in fact, there are at most tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and with the rabble, there can only be about one hundred thousand.

If Li Wei had these millions of gold coins, it would be enough to pull up a five0000-strong elite soldier team with all Tier 6, and these soldiers would not dare to say that they could sweep the Middle Ages Continent, but at least attacking Debella would be easy.

Thinking about it this way, Li Wei felt much better and comforted himself that this is how the elite route is.

If he also learned the practice of the Debella Kingdom, one thousand gold coins could at least arm a soldiers team of several hundred people, but the combat power would naturally be discounted.

"Sam, is your spell okay?"

Going out to the garrison planned for the barbarians, Li Wei heard a noisy voice. When he walked over, he saw a group of barbarians surrounding Sam, the little old man.

"What's going on?" The lord looked at Sam quickly chanting unknown bytes, and then a gray light flew out of his hand and landed on a goat.

"Sam insisted on pulling us to perform his magic, saying let us see the power of magic." Muto摊了摊手shrugged his hands, with a smile on his face: "This old boy said that if the goat with his added magic can be cut through the skin, let us each draw ten whips."

"Is that so." Li Wei smiled and became interested.

"Anyone can come, if you can cut through the skin, I will let you each draw ten whips."

Sam, who was surrounded, said confidently. His Stone Skin Technique can directly add it to hundreds of people. Now he adds all these magic powers to a goat, and the defense power is no different from stone.

Brothers, I'm sorry, I thought I updated two chapters yesterday, but I just realized now that I didn't, so I made it up.
