&Quot; that’s worth a try. &Quot; Zhao Hai’s eyes sparkled. &Quot; Oh, Grandpa Green, do you think the undead creatures can do the same? ”
Hearing Zhao Hai’s words, Gelin’s eyes brightened even more. He nodded and said,”Young master, let’s go to the iron Mountain fortress immediately. There are still some magical beasts left to guard the fortress. Let’s see if they’re useful.”
Zhao Hai nodded and followed green and meg to the farm. Then, they entered the living room of the iron Mountain castle through the teleportation point.
Merlin was not in the living room. She, wood, and stone were the only ones in charge here. She was very busy. There were a lot of things to do in the iron Mountain castle. In addition to planting alfalfa on the mountain, they also had to plant oil fruits. Anyway, they had long prepared to plant oil fruit trees on the mountain. Now was the perfect opportunity to plant them.
Almost all the clovers on Iron Mountain had been planted. However, Zhao Hai’s group didn’t plan to harvest them. They would grow on the mountain naturally and die of old age. After that, they would flip the ground with wings so that these clovers could become the fertilizer for the mountain. Then, they would plant another batch of clovers and flip the ground again. After a few times, the soil quality would recover. Although they could achieve the same effect by leaving the root of the clovers, it was not as useful as the whole clovers. As of now, Zhao Hai didn’t lack feed. Therefore, he decided not to buy any clovers.
There were very few oil fruit trees on the mountain. The seeds of these oil fruit trees had been modified by the space, so there were not many shortcomings. Otherwise, the oil fruit trees would be easily damaged by insects.
However, there was another reason why Grimm and the others were not worried about the trees being attacked by insects. Zhao Hai had pesticide in his realm. Grimm and the others knew about this. Back then, the realm could use the poison from the Xenomorphs to improve the pesticide. Now, the pesticide could probably kill people.
The men were still repairing the castle and doing some practical things. It would not be obvious if the castle was not tidied up, but after tidying up, they found that there were many places that needed to be repaired, and the work risk was very high.
Fortunately, there were many undead creatures helping out. If there were things that people couldn’t lift, the undead creatures would do it.
In order to deal with such a situation, Zhao Hai left 100 humanoid undead creatures at the castle and brought the remaining 200 to the green stone villa.
In the castle, apart from Ann’s slaves, there were only 100 human-shaped undead creatures and dozens of beast-shaped undead creatures. The remaining 400 beast-shaped undead creatures were wandering around the castle, afraid that someone would sneak into the castle.
Once Zhao Hai left the living room, he immediately sent a message to the undead creatures, summoning them and telling them to wait for him outside the castle.
The three of them rushed out of the castle. On the way, they saw Ann and the others repairing a part of the castle wall. When Ann and the others saw Zhao Hai and the other two, they immediately helped them out. The three of them only nodded and quickly went out of the castle.
As soon as the three of them arrived outside the castle, a group of undead creatures ran over from the distance. It was the 400-odd undead creatures that were patrolling outside the castle.
The undead creatures quickly ran to Zhao Hai and stood there looking at him. Zhao Hai didn’t waste any time and waved his evil spirit staff. &Quot; “Square formation.”
As expected, the undead creatures immediately formed a square-shaped formation. Zhao Hai nodded and waved his hand.”Move!” The square formation began to move slowly, but the formation did not fall into disorder. It was neat and tidy, as if it had been cut out with a knife.
Under Zhao Hai’s command, they moved faster and faster, but their formation remained the same. They were still in a square formation, neither fast nor slow.
Zhao Hai, green, and the others looked at the scene with excitement. This was an unexpected gain for them. The undead creatures could advance in a neat formation, which was extremely important to them. If they formed a cavalry with the undead creatures as the foundation, what would the combat strength of the cavalry be like? Just thinking about it made him excited.
Zhao Hai ordered the undead creatures to change their formation again. Just as he expected, the undead creatures wouldn’t be able to change their formation without his command once the formation was activated.
After understanding this, Zhao Hai dismissed the undead creatures and followed green back to the castle’s living room. The living room had been redecorated. It was similar to the original one and was quite simple, but it was still pretty good.
In the living room, Zhao Hai and Clint sat down. Meg took the initiative to cook for the two of them. Clint looked at Zhao Hai excitedly and said, ” “Young master, it seems that this function is very useful. With this function, our Buda family’s cavalry will be the best cavalry in the world. With this function, we can maximize the power of our cavalry.
Zhao Hai nodded his head. Although he had never led an Army before and had never been on the battlefield, he was a fan of the military. When he was on earth, he often went to online battles. He knew very well what a powerful cavalry team represented in the era of cold weapons. It was absolute power, absolute strength.
If the Buda family had a powerful cavalry, then no one in the world would dare to touch them. They would also become a powerful force.
Although the most powerful warriors in the world were those level 9 great warriors, they would not easily take action. They were like nuclear weapons on earth. Most of the time, they were only used as a deterrent. They would not take action unless it was a matter of life and death for their family. Most of the time, they would comprehend the heavenly Dao, hoping that they could break through the ninth level and advance to the next level, the tenth level, which was the path to becoming a god.
Everyone believed that one could only break through the ninth layer to reach the tenth layer. They also believed that the tenth layer was the realm of gods. As long as they reached the tenth layer, they would become gods.
It was for this reason that almost all of the 9th rank powerhouses were trying their best to comprehend it, hoping that one day they could break through the 10th rank and become a God, obtaining eternal life and invincible power.
That was why it was rare to see a grade-9 expert in action on the continent. A grade-8 expert was considered the most powerful expert on the continent. The strength of a family depended on their combat power and the number of troops they had.
On the mainland, nobles could have private soldiers, especially in their own fief. As long as you paid the Empire’s taxes and didn’t start a rebellion, the king would usually turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. No matter what, the great nobles had existed for too long. Sometimes, even if the king wanted to interfere, he couldn’t. If they were really forced into a corner, who knew what kind of trouble they would cause?
Most importantly, there would usually be a level 9 powerhouse in the house of a great noble. Even if the level 9 powerhouse didn’t make a move, the deterrent force was still there. No one dared to look down on a level 9 powerhouse.
The reason why the Buda family had been annihilated in the past was because their Foundation was too weak. Although they had fiefs, because they had only been operating for a short time, the taxes they collected were only enough to pay the Empire’s taxes. They did not have the money to nurture troops. Although there were two 8th-level experts, Grimm and Merlin, an 8th-level expert could not display the deterrence of a 9th-level expert, so the Buda family had been annihilated.
If the Buda family had one, the most powerful cavalry on the continent, no one would dare to do anything to them. Even the king of the Arkas Empire would not easily attack them.
&Quot; however, undead creatures are not suitable for riding. If Zhao Zui and the rest can capture some high-level magical beasts in the rotten corpse swamp, and young master can use the space to breed those magical beasts in large numbers, we will have a large number of riding beasts. We can then form a cavalry. &Quot; Grimm continued with an excited expression.
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; okay. But we don’t just lack magical beasts. We also lack people. Even if we have magical beasts, we don’t have soldiers. &Quot;
Green’s face sank. &Quot; that’s right, there are still people. Unfortunately, we don’t have any people now, and a cavalry is not that easy to train. It seems that this matter has to be considered at a long time. &Quot;
Zhao Hai smiled, ” it’s okay. We can take it slow. There’s time. As long as we close the deal with Laura and get a large amount of gold, we will have more manpower and we can build a cavalry. &Quot;
“It seems like this is the only way. As long as we have the money, we can buy more slaves, or even some war slaves. If that’s the case, we can quickly build up our cavalry.”
Zhao Hai nodded. He knew what green was talking about. They were slaves used in battle. Many of these slaves were defeated soldiers or Warriors who had made mistakes and were demoted to slaves. These people were all very skilled, and some of them were even Grade 5 Warriors.
However, the price of these slaves was also very high. Previously, an ordinary slave would only cost about 10 gold coins; now, there were only about 5 of them. By contrast, a battle slave would cost at least 1000 gold coins in the past. Now, it would cost at least 2000 gold coins. Some expensive slaves could even cost 10000 gold coins, and there was no market for them.
For ordinary slaves, the slave owners would usually be satisfied with just some rice. Now, some of them even wanted moldy rice. However, it was different for martial slaves. They were generally treated very well. Some of them even lived better than ordinary slaves. This was the difference between martial slaves and ordinary slaves.
It could be said that even if the Buda family spent all their money and became bankrupt, they would not be able to buy many war slaves, let alone build a cavalry. Therefore, they needed money now, a lot of gold coins.
The aristocrats were all extremely wealthy and had status in the hundreds of millions. People like Zhao Hai were no different from beggars in the eyes of the aristocrats.
