Ride and Cut

Li Cha led the barbarian away from the arena, and he was greeted by the awe-inspiring eyes of the big man behind him and the servants.

"My lord, if your development is not going well, you can consider coming to our arena as a gladiator. You can really make a lot of money." The big man said so before leaving. "If you talk crow again, I'll beat you up." Li Cha blocked his ambition with one sentence.

The composition of the armed guards of the future territory has initially taken shape, but there are still many things missing-for example, these muscular barbarians don't even have a coat right now, let alone weapons, and one of them is completely shirtless.

Pioneering activities are not as romantic as in knightly novels. On the contrary, this is a particularly serious military act with a huge initial investment.

In addition to the 500 gold coins given by the cheap brother, Li Cha now has more than 100 gold coins in his savings, a total of 600 gold coins.

Among them, at least 300 must be set aside for the purchase of luggage, food and building materials, and more than 300 can be used to buy weapons.

This amount of money is actually a lot, enough to allow an ordinary peasant family to live comfortably for a lifetime. But if you use it to arm fifty barbarians... you can only have one militia three-piece set.

Leading the team into the southwest corner of Cologne City, this remote place is surprisingly prosperous.

The Northeast Province is the border area of ​​the Pompeii Empire, and the vast plains further north are not under human rule.

Since the rise of the staking era hundreds of years ago, wave after wave of pioneers have never lost their gear for wealth and land. But in the face of endless dangers, success is like an illusory dream. Gamblers spend all their wealth in exchange for a lot of development certificates, but it is rare to hear that anyone can really get their wish.

It is the best result to use up the last silver coin and leave the field sadly, what's more, even throwing his own life on that cold plain.

In this myth of wealth creation, it is the businessman who makes the real money. In Cologne, the pioneering movement was a business, and the package shops that provided services for it prospered to such an extent that they gradually gathered here to form a dedicated business district.

Weapons, armor, food, farming tools... everything you need for pioneering is here, and you can even buy or rent teams of slave warriors. A skilled Pompeii warrior costs around 30 gold coins-in terms of force alone, the barbarians said that it is easy for one person to fight three.

But those who are unruly and undisciplined like them are worthless even if they can fight.

Throwing three hundred gold coins to a specialized store is a proven and mature solution, and a full set of luggage will be delivered to your door. If there is more money, these shops can even undertake the task of delivering supplies on a regular basis, so that the pioneering operation will have no worries at all.

In addition to luggage, there are weapons.

Li Cha had inquired about the information a long time ago, and rushed into the famous weapon store - "Negan's Hammer" with his whole team.

This store is famous for its pure dwarf production, and its name also has a strong dwarf charm. After entering the door, there is a wide row of shelves. Not far away, you can indeed see a dozen dwarf blacksmiths hammering hammers around the anvil.

"What kind of weapons do you usually use?" Li Cha picked up a two-handed sword on the shelf, just took a look at it and quickly put it back as if grabbing a soldering iron. The magic effect of "The Poor People Retreat".

"Spears and throwing spears are used the most and are the most proficient, and bows and arrows are also used occasionally." The barbarians are almost dazzled by the variety of weapons in the shop, and only a few of them can barely stay awake to answer questions.

They used to hunt large beasts on the ice field, and spears and spears were indeed the most suitable weapons.

"Boys, what do you want to buy?"

Li Cha looked around and saw no one, but when he lowered his head, he found a dwarf looking up at him. He was wearing an overly gorgeous purple silk coat, with two round characters "Negan" embroidered with gold thread on the chest.

Reminiscent of this shop called "Negan's Hammer", it is obvious that the dwarf in front of him is the owner.

Gnomes are close relatives of dwarves, but dwarves are honest and good at forging while gnomes are smart and good at calculating. Dwarf shopkeeper plus dwarf blacksmith, this is indeed a classic combination of weapon shop.

"Spears and throwing spears, don't fool me with your stuff."

"There won't be such a thing in Negan's shop." Negan glanced at Li Cha, took out a kind of portable counting chip unique to dwarves, and muttered while flicking, "One long gun and three throwing spears for each person is better." Appropriate, then fifteen gold coins per person, you have a total of one, two... fifty people, then a total of seven hundred and fifty gold coins."

"I only have this much money." Li Cha handed over the heavy purse, which contained three hundred and twenty Pompeii gold coins.

Negan counted the amount, walked to the counter, put it into the black iron cash box and locked it. The back of the counter made of brown oak is obviously elevated, so that the dwarf can stand on it at roughly the same level as a normal person.

"There is not enough money, you can only arm twenty-one people, or change to cheaper weapons."

The dwarf is a very shrewd and calculating race. Since the money has entered his box, the deal is hard to turn back.

Li Cha drew out the long sword at his waist and laid it across the counter. "The sword is called Zhanlong. It is made of star meteorite steel and weighs eleven pounds."

Star meteorite steel is a kind of rare metal associated with iron ore, which is extremely heavy and solid. It is generally used to add a small piece to improve performance when making weapons. As the main material of weapons alone, it can only be described as extravagant.

Nigan picked up the long sword as if he had found a treasure, and flicked the blade with his nails. The sound was as crisp and sweet as knocking on fine oriental porcelain. He pulled out a strand of hair from his head and waved it lightly against the blade, and was immediately broken in two by the sharp blade.

"As expected of the Starfall Steel!" Negan held the hilt of the sword with one hand, and looked at his reflection on the sword. Due to the unique characteristics of Xingyun steel, the edge of the image is slightly purple, "This is a good sword that can make a blacksmith proud for a lifetime."

"It's sold." This sword was won by Li Cha from the martial arts arena. It was originally called "Let's Listen to the Wind Sing". dragon".

Since then, Li Cha has become famous in one battle, and few people are willing to bet valuables with him on the competition arena.

"What?" Negan paused, raised his head and raised his eyebrows.

It is easy to sell a high-quality sword for money, but it takes luck to buy a good sword if you have money. Therefore, for a swordsman, the portable sword is an important asset at the bottom of the box, and it should not be taken lightly no matter what.

"I said it was sold." Li Cha took off the scabbard and put it on the counter. "This sword plus all the money should be enough to equip all my subordinates with decent equipment."

After all, it was something to win, and it was easy to win. He never paid much attention to this sword, even after he got it, he didn't even oil it once.

Negan immediately put the sword back into its sheath and hugged it tightly in his arms. His height, which was less than two blades, was set off by the long sword very funny, "Enough, fifty steel guns, and one hundred and fifty spears are all good goods. .”

"Give me another fifty pieces of high-quality leather armor."

Li Cha is also knowledgeable, this sword can be estimated at 600 to 650 gold coins, and the cash far exceeds the weapon price. The damn dwarf actually wants to make a fortune, how can the poor and clanging Lord Richard tolerate it.
