Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 91: Goblin-mixed fodder (Three chapters, please subscribe)
Heating, forging, quenching, grinding, and wrapping the axe handle with cowhide to prevent it from slipping, the Fed blacksmiths are experienced and methodical in making weapons.

Weighing this hand-made double-edged battle axe, Levi felt that the weight and feel were about the same as the system's, except for the fact that it was not quite as exquisite.

Zat also gave a fair evaluation, and there is not much difference between the two.

However, Zat is a hero unit, and the system does not plan standard template equipment, so its feeling is not enough to prove the conjecture.

Levi handed this battle axe to the orc warriors of the Burning Legion, letting them experience one by one the difference between the standard template equipment produced by the system and the hand-made ones.

This group of big, burly guys gave surprisingly unanimous comments.

Everyone is obsessed with the template equipment produced by the system, and thinks it feels great, as if it has become one with themselves and can be used with ease. Of course, it’s not that the handmade ones are bad, but they always feel a little lacking, and are always like external objects.

Simply put, the orcs use the same double-edged battle axe produced by the system. After five consecutive chops, they can leave holes of the same depth and size on the wooden stake.

However, once the sword made by Feder blacksmith was used, this terrifying control disappeared without a trace, and the cut marks could no longer be consistent.

This gap cannot be explained by feel and condition, it is entirely due to the influence of the system.

Levi guessed that when the system advanced, it not only gave the soldiers an improvement in strength and martial arts, but even these template weapons carried the power of the system. Once the two were integrated, it created an effect of 1+1 being greater than 2.

This discovery made Levi both surprised and depressed. The upper limit of the overall strength of the system's soldiers had become larger, but the update of equipment became a problem again.

After all, every time a system soldier is upgraded, his equipment must be updated.

Even mountains of gold and silver cannot withstand such construction.

The template equipment produced by the system costs more than making it yourself.

The same double-edged battle axe would cost about eighteen gold grams if purchased through the system, but if you make it yourself, it would only cost four or five gold grams at most, including the cost of manpower, material resources and time. The premium is too high.

After comprehensive consideration, the lord finally decided that the low-level troops from level one to level four would use weapons made by Gaoyabao according to the system template equipment.

As for high-level soldiers above level five, he would purchase template equipment from the system to equip them.

This will not only reduce the financial strain on Gaoya Fort, but also enhance Gaoya Fort's military strength.

Of course, the top priority right now is to have the Fed blacksmiths build the crossbow according to Mir's drawings. This thing is a real big thing.

Having a bed crossbow and not having a bed crossbow are two completely different things, and the difference is no less than that of nuclear weapons in previous lives.

If Gaoya Castle placed dozens of them on the city walls, it would be enough to scare away most people with bad intentions.

However, there were only fifty or sixty blacksmiths in Fede, including apprentices. Faced with the endless supply of iron ore dug by slaves in the Fede tribe, there was a serious shortage of manpower.

Levi began to form a slave-hunting team and led it personally to capture as many trolls and monsters alive as possible.

No one understands. Although the troll is smart, it is unruly. The giant monster is a complete idiot. The deformed child is smarter than this creature. Why capture these two creatures alive? Waste the food of Highcliff Castle?

No one knows, and anyway, the lord has no intention of practicing democracy.

In this technologically backward place, human resources are the primary productive force.

The powerful trolls and giant monsters are excellent laborers for both mining and iron forging, so the lord will not let them go. It just so happens that the last time the trolls gathered the wilderness coalition to attack High Cliff Castle, the lord has not yet avenged the trolls and wilderness bandits who robbed the iron ore!

This time, let them atone for their sins by working for Highcliff Castle for the rest of their lives.

The defeat of a dozen troll warriors last time did not cause the troll tribe to lose all their young and strong men. Therefore, the troll tribe, which was worried about the revenge of High Cliff Castle, was completely relieved when they saw that no one came and continued to live in this fertile grassland.

After all, migrating tribes is not an easy task. Not only will it easily lead to conflicts with other tribes, but especially now that winter is approaching, they cannot spend time on migration. During this period, they are storing as much food as possible.

The male trolls went out hunting, while the female trolls herded cattle and sheep.

But when a team of orc guards wearing all-horned helmets appeared here, the outcome was already determined.

After easily defeating two or three resisting male trolls, this troll tribe with seventy or eighty members became one of the vassal tribes of Highcliff Castle.

As for the trolls, they were extremely funny. When the warriors from Highcliff Castle found them, these idiots were lying in the mountains basking in the sun.

After the lord jumped down from above and cut off half of a giant's body with a sword, and a bunch of heads emerged densely behind it, the nineteen giants bowed down in worship, perfectly demonstrating the lord's style of winning people over with virtue.

The troll tribe was arranged to take root in a leeward location under the hill. After learning that Highcliff Castle only drove them here to serve as vassals, the trolls felt relieved, but they felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

In the past, they were always the overlords of other weak tribes, and never became vassals and supported others as their overlords.

As for the trolls, they were kept in the leeward side of the hill like livestock, eating and drinking as if they were in heaven, which made the leaders who were responsible for feeding them very worried.

The appetites of these big eaters are so good that even if they are fed with mud mixed with grass, the amount of grass in the territory is decreasing sharply.

Finally, after Old Neil learned about it, he suggested that he had a way to solve it. Just when the lord was expecting him to come up with a plan,

This guy said that goblins often died of exhaustion or could not survive castration, and could be used as food for the trolls.

The main point is to make full use of waste and squeeze the value of goblins to the limit.

Good guy, I thought you were Zhang Liang but you turned out to be Cheng Yu.

Levi thought he was already a radical, but now he felt that old Neil, a conservative, was still too radical.

In this regard, Levi's approach is neither agreeing nor rejecting, leaving it entirely to them to decide.

After all, he is the boss, so he cannot be asked to take the blame for something that is not conducive to unity.

But deep down, Levi didn't really object.

Are goblins considered human after all?
Moreover, this is also a phenomenon in the wilderness. Why do some powerful clans bring goblins, who are weak in combat, with them when they go to war? It is to serve as rations when food is insufficient.

Although the meat of this creature is smelly and unpalatable, it is filling and at least won't starve you to death. The most important thing is that this creature has a strong vitality like weeds and is everywhere.

Now that the food source has been solved, the pressure on Gaoyabao to feed these big eaters has been reduced a lot.
