Chapter 24 Spearman Phalanx
After buying more than 59 female slaves, Zhang Tie went smoothly in Paradise Lost, and did not encounter any troublesome things. After only wandering around the Lost Paradise for half an hour, Zhang Tie spent another huge sum of 15,000 gold coins.
Zhang Tie spent the money and bought himself a small phalanx of spearmen composed of 100 second-level slave soldiers.
You read that right, it is a phalanx of spearmen that looks decent, at least much more powerful than the phalanx of spearmen formed by Zhang Tie and the others when they were in school a year ago.
Paradise Lost is a place where anyone can buy it with money. Naturally, force can also be bought in this place.
Second-level fighters can only be used as cannon fodder in many places, but Zhang Tie doesn't intend to let them go to the battlefield, he just asks them to help him guard the castle. That's it.
Zhang Tie's castle on Qianlong Island originally planned to hire people from the Changfeng Merchant Group to guard it, but after what happened a few days ago, Zhang Tie has changed his mind. At least 80 people are needed to guard the castle Well, Zhang Tie didn't want to hide in his castle a few guys who leaked information about him at any time, and stabbed him in the back at a critical moment.
After seeing Zhang Taibai's woman, Zhang Tie was extremely afraid of the Changfeng Merchant Group. Therefore, instead of worrying about being plotted and betrayed all day, it is better to break the shackles, start from scratch, and start cultivating the strength to be loyal to yourself.
Zhang Tie didn't believe that those people had the ability to predict the future, and knew that he was going to buy slaves so that he could plant a spy among the slaves.
The soldiers that Zhang Tie bought were all second-level warriors of the Shining tribe. The price of a second-level warrior of other races was only 120 gold coins. They are big, their brains are relatively stubborn, and loyalty to their master is a natural infantry material, so each of them is 30 gold coins more expensive than other second-level soldiers.
This time the transaction also let Zhang Tie know the market conditions of soldiers and fighters of other levels, and he probably had a bottom line in his mind.
In Stargazing City, the price of a first-level slave soldier is about 80 gold coins, and the price of a second-level soldier is 120 gold coins. Gold coins, 600 gold coins for level 6 fighters.
For soldiers below level six, as long as you can afford the price, those slave traders can even easily recruit a division for you.
Level 6 is a watershed price for slaves. The price of a level 7 slave is 1100 gold coins, level 8 is 3500 gold coins, and level 9 depends on luck. Generally, the starting price of a level 9 slave fighter is above 10,000 gold coins, and Usually only seen at high-level auctions.
Tenth-level slaves, slaves who have reached the level of strong fighters are even rarer, and almost no one is sold. Da Vinci said that he had seen it once before, but although the tenth-level guy is a slave, he is a family warrior trained by a big man . No one would sell a tenth-level strong fighter, and even fewer people were still slaves at this level.
Those second-level Shinling warriors are all around 20 years old, and they have received much more military skills training than what Zhang Tie had learned in the school in Heiyan City. After them, those warriors of the Shining clan knelt on one knee on the spot, and swore allegiance to Zhang Tie with the blood of the ancestors of the Shining clan on the teaching ground in Paradise Lost.
Looking at the more than one hundred pairs of eyes, Zhang Tie made an agreement with all the second-level fighters of the Shining clan on the spot.
"As long as you are faithful to me,
Seriously do things for me, then, here I also swear in the name of my ancestors, any one of you, no matter who, as long as his level reaches level six, I will release his slave contract and give him back his freedom I will give him 200 gold coins as a thank you for serving me all these years! "
Looking at the flushed faces of those young people whose eyes were shining brightly, Zhang Tie knew that his goal had been achieved. As Tang De said, buying people's hearts is actually very simple, as long as you give him what he wants.
What would a second-level slave soldier want—freedom? gold? These two things are enough.
Others talking about life, ideals, and feelings are all nonsense. For these people, with freedom and money, everything comes naturally.
"Is what you said true?" A slave soldier about two meters tall stood up abruptly, staring into Tongling-like eyes, and asked in a low voice.
"Of course it is true, you will soon see my ability to fulfill this promise!" Zhang Tie looked at the big man, "What's your name?"
"My name is Luno!"
"Looking at your courage to stand up and ask this question on behalf of everyone, I will appoint you as the captain of this centurion, but remember, this is the first and last time, what I will say to you in the future , just say it again, if anyone dares to question whether what I said is true, ask such a stupid question again, I will chop his head off! Remember?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Tie's aura condensed from the iron-blooded fist and killing people on the battlefield immediately enveloped the more than one hundred people, and everyone felt their hearts tremble. A sense of fear crept into their hearts in an instant. At this moment, everyone felt that as long as Zhang Tie was willing, he could easily kill them all.
Under Zhang Tie's sharp gaze, Lu Nuo's back suddenly burst into cold sweat, and the warrior of the Shining clan with a sturdy physique didn't even dare to look at Zhang Tie, but lowered his eyes in awe, "Yes ,I remember!"
After completing the transaction, Zhang Tie and Da Vinci left Paradise Lost. He didn’t have to worry about the slaves bought by Zhang Tie. Paradise Lost would send them to Zhang Tie’s place in Qianlong within 24 hours. Among the castles on the island.
Although the castle on Qianlong Island has not been completely completed, the completed part can already allow these people to live in it first.
As long as the customer buys more than five slaves at one time in Paradise Lost, Paradise Lost can help the customer send the slaves to any place in Huaiyuan County that the customer specifies for free. For Zhang Tie's purchase of the 100 second-level Shining spirit warriors, Paradise Lost even gave Zhang Tie 100 long spears as weapons for those Shining spirit warriors.
With a gold ticket of 20,000 gold coins, Zhang Tie entered Paradise Lost, and when he came out, there were only a fraction of 1,000 gold coins left. However, Zhang Tie had 159 more slaves——100 second-level slaves of the Shining clan. Soldiers, plus 59 female slaves from the Varna Empire.
This was Zhang Tie's first personal force, and Zhang Tie also appointed two small leaders.
The captain of the Shining warriors is Lu Nuo, and the leader of the female slaves in the Varna Empire is Sonia—the woman who was almost separated from her sister—because of herself, the sisters can be together and avoid a tragedy. If something happened to him, it was unknown whether the tragedy of their sisters would repeat itself. Just for this, Zhang Tie was sure that Sonia would do a good job in the job he entrusted to her to win his appreciation.
Although he spent a lot of money this time, it was also the most enjoyable time for Zhang Tie to spend.
...
"Mr. Zhang, do you really want to visit the places where the lowest slaves are traded? That place is dirty and chaotic, filled with lifeless people!" Da Vinci persuaded Zhang Tie again.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's lead the way!" Zhang Tie got into the car, plugged in the key, turned it a bit, released the car's direction lock and the restrictions on the pedal ignition device, and then stepped on the ignition pedal with his foot, and the pedal bounced again. Came back - for the first time, the engine didn't respond.
Zhang Tie stepped on it again. After stepping on it seven or eight times in a row, the body of the Sendra T9 shook slightly, and the familiar sound of the engine began to sound, and the engine had already been ignited. The great thing about this turbo steam heat recovery external combustion engine is that it can use mechanical ignition and burning alcohol to shorten the ignition time of ordinary steam car engines to more than ten seconds.
When Zhang Tie ignited the ignition, Da Vinci walked around the car, and finally opened the side door carefully and sat up, sighing with full emotion, "What a good car!"
Zhang Tie stared at the dashboard of the car. After only half a minute, when the steam pressure pointer on the dashboard was pointing, Zhang Tie put down the parking brake, put the reverse gear on, and stepped on the accelerator. He slipped out of the parking space and onto the road.
"Where are you going?"
Da Vinci sighed, "Go ahead first, turn right at the second intersection ahead..."
The sports car rushed out at once...
...
In less than ten minutes, under the leadership of Da Vinci, Zhang Tie came to the slave trading area he mentioned. This trading area is very similar to the cattle trading place outside Heiyan City. In the woods.
Compared with Paradise Lost, this place seems to match the kind of slave trading market in Zhang Tie's impression - chaotic, dirty, full of people's voices, and the noon sun steamed this place full of all kinds of desires The strange smell of vomiting, all kinds of yelling, bargaining, and the wailing and crying of the slaves rang out together.
Dirty slaves in tattered clothes gathered in piles like livestock in the narrow space enclosed by the steel pipes and barbed wire of the slave traders, looking at the surrounding crowd with numb and desperate eyes.
There are several extremely simple platforms in the market, which are only more than one meter above the ground, and a piece of tarpaulin with some holes is built on the platform. In this simple place, the female slaves were pulled out one by one and stripped naked. Clothes, forced to do all kinds of shameful gestures that reveal their body and private parts, for the people in the audience to bid for auction...
As soon as Zhang Tie came here, he saw a fierce-looking bald man slapping the buttocks of a woman on the stage vigorously, and shouted loudly, "Nine gold coins, is there a higher one? This woman hasn't given birth yet!" I have had children, and I am only in my forties this year. Apart from a little burn on my face, my figure is still very tight. I am absolutely obedient, and I can still work. Turning off the lights, my body can also bring fun to men, and has a higher price. Well, the minimum price increase is only ten silver coins each time..."
"I'll pay you ten gold coins!" Zhang Tie roared...
