Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

Chapter 172

[Upgradable Troops: Vlandia Recruits x 10]

[Spend 8 Silver Deer per person, can be upgraded to: Vlandia Conscripted Crossbowmen/Vlandia Light Infantry]

Hod stared at the team panel, which clearly displayed the information about the upgrade, which made him feel confused.

"What's going on? How come Vlandia Recruits can be upgraded all of a sudden?" He murmured in a low voice, frowning slightly, trying to sort out this sudden situation.

However, this confusion only lasted for a short moment.

In the next moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in Hod's mind, as if he had been enlightened, and he immediately understood the reason.

Since these recruits have never experienced combat and can get the opportunity to upgrade, there is no doubt that my own coaching skills must have played a key role.

Thinking of this, Hod's mouth corners unconsciously rose.

You know, in the previous games, as long as you have the coaching skill, you can continuously provide a certain amount of valuable experience points for your soldiers.

At this moment, his coaching level has reached level 2.

Although this level may not be particularly high overall, it still has the ability to bring some experience growth to the soldiers in the team.

For Hood, this is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise!

He showed a faint smile on his face, and began to calculate quickly in his mind.

After careful consideration, he finally decided to suppress his excitement for the time being, and wait until he completely left the camp before starting to upgrade the new recruits of Valandia.

After all, there are many people in the camp and they are mixed. If Hood rashly lets other people in the camp open their eyes and witness the magical scene of the new recruits of Valandia upgrading in public, it will definitely not be a good thing for Hood.

Hood kept his face calm, riding a travel horse and leading his team slowly forward outside the camp.

Other knights along the way and the soldiers under the lord saw this scene and stepped aside to make way for them to enter and exit.

At the same time, watching Hod and his group leave, the soldiers couldn't help but whisper to each other, secretly guessing the purpose of their departure.

When Hod led the robbers and the Vlandian recruits out of the camp and gradually away from the noisy camp, the whole team stopped in a forest.

It was quiet here, with only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves.

Hod looked around cautiously, searching carefully for places where there might be human figures around.

After confirming that there was no abnormality, he opened the team panel with confidence.

Facing the team information in front of him, Hod did not hesitate at all, and quickly and decisively chose to upgrade the ten Vlandian recruits.

At the moment he made the choice, a familiar data link emerged out of thin air like a spirit snake, and then wrapped around the bodies of the ten Vlandian recruits at lightning speed.

With the continuous flashing and interweaving of the data link, the advancement process officially kicked off.

Under the effect of the data link, the bodies of the ten Vlandian recruits began to emit a faint light, as if they were undergoing a transformation.

When leaving the camp, Hod was determined to upgrade all ten recruits to Vlandian conscripted crossbowmen.

As far as the team he led was concerned, the melee force was sufficient. What he needed was a long-range output force, so there was no need to upgrade the Vlandian recruits to infantry.

Although the robbers also had a certain degree of long-range attack capability, compared with the truly professional long-range forces, the javelin they used was really dwarfed.

Even those powerful robber leaders who had reached the fifth level could only throw javelins at a distance of only forty or fifty steps.

Such an attack range was simply a big joke compared to the real long-range forces.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Hod decided to reorganize these robbers and give them a new task, that is, to serve as shield-bearing infantry.

The reason for making such an arrangement is entirely because the robbers themselves have some unique advantages.

First, they are equipped with shields, which can effectively resist attacks from the enemy. Secondly, they also have a certain medium-range attack capability, which enables them to exert a certain attack capability even when facing the enemy approaching.

And in cooperation with these robbers, the Vlandia conscripted crossbowmen who are about to be advanced are.Although these crossbowmen belong to the civilian arms of Vlandia, their strength should not be underestimated.

They hold powerful crossbows in their hands. This weapon has excellent long-range attack capabilities and certain armor-piercing capabilities, which can cause huge damage to enemies at a distance.

Because of this, Hod upgraded the Vlandian recruits to conscripted crossbowmen, who can use their powerful firepower to consume the enemy and create a more favorable battle situation for their side.

It is worth mentioning that in the game, even among many second-level arms, the Vlandian conscripted crossbowmen can be said to be the well-deserved king. After all, who can hold a light crossbow at the second level of the arms?

Even in the game world, most of the high-level heavy armored soldiers who are regarded as treasures by many players and well-equipped are not killed by the Vlandian sharpshooters, but are defeated by the seemingly inconspicuous conscripted crossbowmen.

The reason for this is that the light crossbows they hold are too powerful. The light crossbows can stab up to 75 points, far exceeding the damage caused by most javelins.

Such a terrifying attack power has undoubtedly become a decisive weapon on the battlefield.

Moreover, in the game, one of the most important factors for the Kingdom of Vlandia to dominate is that it has a very large number of civilian archers, the Vlandia Conscripted Crossbowmen.

It is precisely relying on these skilled civilian archers that the Kingdom of Vlandia has been able to repeatedly suppress and defeat other kingdoms on the battlefield.

However, although the attack power of the Vlandia Conscripted Crossbowmen is amazing, they also have some obvious defects that cannot be avoided.

The first is that the number of heavy crossbow arrows they carry is really pitiful, and each person is only equipped with one bag.

What's worse is that even in this only bag of crossbow arrows, the actual number of crossbow arrows is quite limited.

In this way, such equipment situation undoubtedly greatly limits the ability of the Vlandia Conscripted Crossbowmen to continue fighting.
