Next.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Qin Yue did not return to the city immediately. Instead, he brought the thirty or so Mountain Thieves to kill monsters all over the mountains and plains.
The so-called strength in numbers was reflected to the extreme at this moment.
Qin Yue ordered the surrendered soldiers to find low-level wild monsters such as wild rabbits and wild chickens. Then, they would capture them alive and put them in front of him for him to kill.
This was to increase the proficiency of Basic Hammer Technique and Basic Bow Technique.
This method was much faster than him searching for wild monsters all over the mountains.
In just a few hours, he had upgraded his Basic Hammer Technique and Basic Bow Technique to Advanced.
Strength increased by 10 points.
Name: Gongsun Yue
[Identity: County Magistrate of Pingkuo County, Right Beiping County]
[Level: 18]
[Attributes: Commander 38, Strength 65, Intelligence 34, Political 30]
[Skills: Advanced Saber Technique, Advanced Bow Technique, Advanced Hammer Technique]
[Equipment: Iron Blade, Feather Bow]
[Sole Divine General Talent: Super Divine Growth]
……
Unknowingly, his level had risen from the initial level of 10 to 18.
In the game " Troubled Times ", after the character level increased, the four dimensions would also increase, but not by much.
For every level up, a fixed increase of 1 point in the four-dimensional individual attribute points will be added according to Strength, Commander, Intelligence, and Political.
What did this mean?
It was equivalent to a cycle every four levels, and all attributes could increase by one point.
Qin Yue had now increased by a total of 8 levels, and his four-dimensional attributes had increased by 2 points at the same time.
Of course!
This was not important!
The important thing was that his martial strength had now broken through the 60 mark and reached 65 points!
One had to know that once one's martial strength exceeded 60, they could be defined as a general.
In the future system updates, they would be able to obtain the title of General, completely different from ordinary players.
Even if one had reached the threshold of a general, it would still take some effort to truly squeeze in.
However, 65 points should be enough to deal with the Xianbei troops!
Qin Yue thought that if he couldn't even deal with it with 65 points of martial strength, then there was nothing he could do.
The three skills he had now-saber technique, hammer technique, and bow technique-had all been upgraded to Advanced Level. It was impossible for him to upgrade them to Master Level in a short period of time.
Unless he obtained a new skill, his martial strength would temporarily stop at this level.
He looked at the time in the game. Unknowingly, it was already past seven o'clock at night, and the sky was gradually darkening.
Qin Yue thought about it. Since he could no longer effectively increase his strength, he would return home.
To defend against the Xianbei invasion, one did not have to be invincible. It was also possible to recruit more troops.
Perhaps they didn't have the money to recruit before, but now that they had taken down the mountain stronghold, they had more than 5,000 taels of silver to recruit soldiers.
……
One to two hours later.
Qin Yue brought over 30 surrendered mountain bandits back to Pingkuo County.
Yes, in the early stages of the game, soldiers of the same level could switch.
For example, mountain bandits could be converted into basic troops of the same level as infantry, spearmen, and archers.
However!
It was not without conditions.
Other than the cost of changing classes, they also had to buy the equipment needed for these basic troops.
Spearmen are equipped with spears and leather armor.
Spearmen equipped with spears and leather armor.
They had obtained a lot of equipment from taking down the bandits. Although they were of poor quality, they could be used to change classes.
Just relying on these 30 or so Mountain Thieves who had changed their classes to become basic soldiers would not be able to form much combat power. They needed to recruit more soldiers.
At this time, he had to spend money.
In the early stages of the game, in order to allow players to develop quickly, money was allowed to directly recruit troops.
But the price was very expensive.
Under normal circumstances, basic units like infantry, spearmen, and archers cost 20 taels of silver. Even if he provided equipment, it would still cost 10 taels of silver.
If converted to Chinese dollars, it would cost at least 100 yuan to recruit a basic soldier.
It was expensive, but it was acceptable for both normal and rich players.
Because there was a territory population limit for the recruitment of troops, the ratio to the territory population was 5:1。
What did this mean?
It was equivalent to a player's initial territory population of 100. No matter how much money one spent, they could only recruit 20 basic troops.
Under such restrictions, even if the rich players were rich, they would not be much different from the poor players.
After all, under normal circumstances, when players were in the novice period, the villages that they were randomly assigned to would only have a few dozen people. If there were more than a hundred people, they would be considered lucky.
However, Qin Yue was clearly not one of those ordinary circumstances.
His initial territory, Pingkuo County, had more than 8,000 people. According to the population limit, he could recruit more than 1,000 basic troops.
However…
The money needed to recruit more than 1,000 basic troops at once would at least exceed 10,000 silver coins. Even if he took down a mountain stronghold, Qin Yue did not have that much money.
He could only use them sparingly and rationally.
He categorized the equipment he had obtained from the village.
It was divided into infantry, spearmen, and archers.
Then, he would use these equipment to recruit a large number of them at the unit price of 10 silver per basic soldier.
Then, he would use the unit price of 20 silver per basic soldier to recruit another small batch to make up a whole number.
Together with the Mountain Thief class change from before, there were a total of 100 people in each of the three basic classes.
He had spent a total of three thousand taels of silver.
100 infantrymen, 100 pikemen, and 100 archers appeared in front of the barracks.
Qin Yue's heart was bleeding as he looked at the money he had obtained after taking down a mountain stronghold with great difficulty.
Moreover, this was not the end.
He wasn't sure how strong the Xianbei troops that would attack tomorrow would be, so in order to increase his chances of winning, he still had to train these basic troops to become elite troops.
Then, he had to spend money again!
In the early stages, basic troops could be upgraded to ordinary elite troops, and they could also be directly upgraded with money.
