Empires Start with Lords - Chapter 13 Arrangements for Freedmen

As soon as the rules were revised, hundreds of freedmen poured in all of a sudden.

Ross waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to move all the freedmen into the residential houses.

Soon, hundreds of people who obtained the status of free citizens received the qualifications of citizens, and Ross's territory gradually began to become prosperous.

Ross said: "From now on, you are the legitimate civilians of my territory."

There was a burst of cheers from the audience.

The whole city was in a happy mood.

Next, Ross issued a policy on childbirth.

First of all, free people can be paired at will, form a husband and wife, and then form a family.

Of course, Ross's house was not handed over to them to live in vain. The civilians who received the house had to pay more taxes, and the personal income tax exceeded 40%.

There is only one way to cut these taxes in half, and that is to get married and have a child and send it to the military.

Once this policy was introduced, more and more civilians entered the barracks in Ross's territory.

Ross currently can accommodate up to 1,500 troops.

Soon, this number would not be enough to accommodate the soldiers in the barracks.

Mission: The territory covers an area of ​​more than 1,000 square kilometers. Obtain a Knights Templar and 50 Magic Knights. The upper limit of the army is increased to 2,000.

Ross thought for a while and gathered all the recruits in the military camp at the training ground.

Ross stood on the stage and cleared his throat, and the noisy crowd below instantly became quiet.

Ross said, "You guys are about to enter the battlefield. I want you to go to the Goblin Forest to deal with an entire Goblin army."

As soon as Ross said this, the soldiers in the audience immediately became high-spirited.

Ross smiled, and if the extra soldiers were not included in the system, they could kill the remaining goblins.

You must know that this month has passed, and the goblin army has been repaired in full swing. Babur only sent a letter a few days ago, and thousands of goblins attacked the slings repeatedly.

You know, the area of ​​the Goblin Forest is 500 square kilometers in size, which is the size of an earl's territory.

As long as that piece of land is laid down, Ross will have a territory of 1,300 square kilometers.

Moreover, the Goblin Forest is the only way to the kingdom, and Ross must seize the stronghold there.

Boom.

Soon, all the soldiers in the military camp were dispatched.

Ross did the math, and the price of recruiting troops in the barracks is twice as cheap as buying them directly!

In other words, using the internal circulation system of the civilians in the city, these soldiers are basically quite cheap to fight back and forth.

Ross immediately followed with a small and medium-sized comprehensive force.

Among them were three hundred infantry, fifty retinue knights, one hundred medium knights and twenty English longbowmen.

The arrangement of such a comprehensive army has obvious advantages. There are melee infantry and powerful squire knights, as well as medium-mounted knights who are suitable for charging and killing the enemy, and English longbowmen who can consume the enemy at a distance.

Such troops are sufficient for most situations.

Ross has lost more than a thousand archers so far.

Therefore, Ross decided not to use archers, and directly replaced them with English longbowmen, so the strength of the team increased again.

Soon, Ross led the army to the vast eastern part of the Goblin Forest.

Entering the camp, the first thing that took the brunt was to stare straight at the ten catapults rising from the ground.

With these things, Ross was able to send a small number of troops to guard the Goblin Forest for so long.

It was precisely because they were afraid of the power of these weapons that the goblin army only dared to test and did not dare to attack.

In fact, this is a temporary camp, but it already has a moat and a large number of buildings.

Including the stone fortress that Ross placed here, all of them are copied first-class.

Next, Ross plans to develop agriculture here, involving farmers and some female slaves here to jointly build Ross's third territory.

Today, the dark clouds here are dense, and Ross has a hunch that it seems that they are going to attack.

Sure enough, within half an hour, several groups of goblins, numbering over a thousand, began to take up arms and charged against Ross' temporary camp.

"rush!"

The goblin leader, carrying a jet-black mace, said fiercely.

A large group of goblins at the head rushed up instantly.

"The first brigade, launch a charge, and the others continue to guard the camp, lest they make noises."

Ross calmly observed the situation and then said.

Wow!

The first brigade of five hundred people quickly charged down with spears.

Although it is only a new recruit, its power has not diminished in the slightest, and it is only stronger or weaker than ordinary infantry.

Ross looked at the troops fighting on the battlefield and nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that the soldiers trained from the military camp are not bad.

As Ross was thinking, a large group of goblins suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and they began to join the battlefield.

These goblins with big axes and giant hemp ropes belong to another tribe.

It seems that they have used disdain again.

With the huge advantage in numbers, Ross was still a little afraid of this skill.

However, as long as they kill one fifth of them, this skill can be interrupted.

Ross predicted that there should be about 5,000 goblin army here, and immediately sent the catapult to a very rough road to start throwing stones.

Wow!

Ross heard a scream, and said in his heart: Sure enough!

These goblins are still hiding behind the brigade, preparing to launch a second sneak attack on Ross.

Fortunately, Ross discovered this conspiracy in an emergency.

Under the constant attack of the slings, the number of goblins in that area plummeted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Military merit: +500

In just a moment, Ross killed five hundred goblins.

However, the following situation is not optimistic. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and Ross sent the second team to attack.

Ross brought out all the soldiers in the general's battalion this time, and there were six brigades with 3,000 people.

Since he could not integrate into the organization, Ross arranged these soldiers in the Goblin Forest to guard his territory.

And now that the goblin army is attacking, these unintegrated troops have also played a role.

After the second brigade went down, the goblin army was over, and hundreds of goblins were surrounded and killed.

"Damn, what the **** is this!"

The goblin leader, his red nose turned purple from anger.

He stamped his feet angrily and said, "Goblins from all tribes go up together!"

As soon as these words came out, the goblins that were hidden like a tide appeared behind them, and they came quickly!
