The Great Arcanist Who Traveled Through the World of American Variety Shows

The army Richard was going to form was composed of spearmen, crossbowmen and cavalry. The training difficulty of spearmen was easier than that of Roman legion soldiers.

There were many hunters in the mountains and forests for crossbowmen. These people had good archery skills. As long as they replaced better bows and arrows, their strength would be no worse than those imperial archers.

The most difficult to train was the cavalry. Most of these exiles were slaves and had never ridden a horse. If they wanted to train cavalry, they needed to think of other ways.

Perhaps Richard could recruit from those barbarian mercenaries.

Don't think that the barbarians were a piece of iron plate. In fact, the barbarians were also distributed in tribes, and some naturalized barbarians were basically mercenaries of the Roman Empire.

Most of the invading barbarians were also barbarians from the north. Because of climate change, the north became colder, and those barbarians began to migrate forward for survival.

In fact, the strength of the barbarians was not too strong. They were able to eventually destroy the Roman Empire, and a big reason for this was the internal degeneration and decay of the Roman Empire, as well as the invasion of the Huns.

The invasion of the Huns was also a heavy blow to the Roman Empire.

After the ironworks successfully produced a set of armor, Richard's ironworks finally got on the right track.

However, although the ironworks successfully produced iron armor and weapons, its output was not high, or even very low.

At most, five sets of armor and one hundred spearheads can be produced in a month.

To increase production, more time is needed to train qualified blacksmith apprentices and increase iron ore mining. Now there are 400 people in Richard's camp doing mining, smelting and other work, and the rest are farming and training.

Richard decided to do some foreign trade. He couldn't just sit back and eat up all the food. Obviously, he could supply some food, but when the population grew, the food in his hands would definitely run out one day.

Moreover, living in the mountains, many daily necessities also need to be purchased from outside.

Richard didn't have much money in his hands. In this era, the Roman Empire used gold, silver and copper coins, and the main circulation was silver and copper coins.

The last time he killed those barbarian fleeing soldiers, he got some silver coins, but the silver content of these silver coins was not high. Perhaps in order to increase the weight of the silver coin, a lot of lead was mixed in it.

According to the Roman Empire, a soldier's annual salary was 225 silver coins, but in fact, these silver coins would definitely not all fall into the hands of the soldiers.

Corruption and embezzlement are not just the traditions of China, the bureaucrats of the Roman Empire are also very skilled in playing.

Silver coins are no longer considered hard currency, and many places even use barter. Richard is going to trade with salt. Salt was an important material in both the East and the West in ancient times.

So if he has salt in his hands, he can use it to exchange for a large amount of materials.

In the mountains and forests of Gaul, there are not only iron mines, but also salt mines. Although the reserves are not much, they are enough for use.

Richard mined a batch of salt mines. Most of these salts are in agglomerates, and the color is not snow-white, but brown. If it were in modern times, let alone eating, it would not be qualified as industrial salt.

But for this era, this is edible salt.

Richard took some people and brought salt to the nearby town for trading. Through the salt, they successfully obtained a large amount of supplies, not only cloth, but also some tools and even a few horses.

The group left the town with a large amount of supplies and prepared to return to the camp. At this time, a sound of horse hooves suddenly came from a distance.

Richard released his mental power to scan and immediately found that five people were fleeing towards him a few miles away. Among the five people, four were male guards, and the four were equipped with bows, armor and weapons.

The level of sophistication has reached the level of Roman legion soldiers. In the middle of the four people is a woman wearing a hooded robe. Although her body is covered very tightly, her graceful figure can still be seen when the warhorse is galloping.

And Richard also felt some magical power from her.

This magical power is not strong, probably about the same as Mia's strength.

"Witch?" Richard raised his eyebrows slightly.

Then the mental power continued to expand outward, and soon Richard found out who was chasing these people.

A few hundred meters behind these people, a team of cavalry dressed as demon hunters were following closely behind them. Among these demon hunters, there was another person with divine power.

[Templar of the Priory]

The last time Richard met a monk of the Priory, his strength had reached the second level according to the classification, and with some divine power he possessed, he should be stronger than the druid.

And the Templar of the Priory in front of him, his strength has basically reached the third level.

In this low-magic world, such strength is basically the ceiling of human combat power. Now such a strong man is actually chasing a witch.

There is no need to guess this witch, her identity must be very important.

After seeing this scene, Richard made a decision immediately and prepared to rescue her.

"You immediately surround the city with a car array and defend on the spot!" Richard gave the order directly.

Then Richard took out the bow and arrow and began to wait, and after Richard gave the order, the exiles immediately stopped the car, surrounded the city with a car array, and piled the supplies on the car to increase defense.

It only took a few moments for the convoy to be formed.

At this time, those people had already rushed over. After running for a long time, their horses were sweating like pulp and foaming at the mouth, obviously reaching their limit.

At this time, when they saw a chariot formation in front of them, they subconsciously ran here.

Richard waved his hand and asked people to open a gap in the chariot formation. Seeing the chariot formation open, the eyes of the desperate people immediately flashed with surprise and ran over quickly.

The demon hunters who were chasing after these people saw this situation and immediately drew their bows and arrows and shot at them.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was only a dozen meters. One of the people behind was unlucky and was shot in the neck by an arrow. Then he groaned and fell off his horse, while the rest of them rushed into the chariot formation.

Seeing those people enter the chariot formation, several demon hunters chasing behind did not mean to stop, and they accelerated their horses and wanted to rush in. Richard shot them directly.

The arrows hit three people instantly. The three demon hunters in the front fell off their horses without a sound.

The demon hunters behind them were startled and quickly turned over to avoid the arrows.

Then several arrows were shot at the Priory Templar behind them. The Priory Templar drew out his long sword and quickly deflected the arrows.
