Chapter 62 The Maid's Big Costume Change
The guards were assembled.
Next up is the maid troupe.
Although Richard didn't really want them to go to the battlefield, they still had to maintain appearances, just like the guards.
Richard provided each of them with a women's rapier.
The sword is slender yet sharp, with a soft leather hilt wrapped around it and inlaid with a few small gemstones. Its exquisite and beautiful design makes it most suitable for women.
Lina had already obtained one beforehand, and during the confrontation, the way she held the slender sword and guarded Richard's side made the other five maids extremely envious.
Now everyone has been given one, and they cherish it as if it were a new and exciting toy.
After receiving guidance from Karl, Celia smiled and performed a few impressive sword flourishes. Her dashing appearance made Richard's heart itch with envy.
Richard had also considered equipping each of them with a set of armor, but unfortunately, women's armor was really hard to find.
Even if they exist, they wouldn't look good; they're not the kind of purely decorative pieces that can support a good figure, unlike what he wants.
So Richard prepared three new outfits for each of them, all of them exquisite long dresses in various colors with a Lolita style.
These were ready-made formal dresses sold by high-end clothing stores to wealthy free citizens, but he used them as everyday clothes for his maids.
Although the clothes are a bit formal for everyday wear and slightly cumbersome and inconvenient for working, they are really pleasing to the eye.
Try to overcome it!
Shouldn't my visual needs be prioritized?
It's not like I can't afford it.
If it gets dirty or torn, just replace it with a new one!
When they returned to the tent, changed into new clothes, and stood together in front of Richard, he was overjoyed.
Like blooming flowers, the six young women stood gracefully, charming and lovely, each with their own unique beauty and allure.
With the slender-bladed sword slung across her waist, she exudes an air of grandeur, her exquisite style rivaling that of the Frost Princess.
Richard had also prepared what he was wearing underneath.
However, for now they are all fabrics, like that silk piece. I will slowly design and process them for them when I have time in the evening.
He wanted to get several sets of everything imaginable—bras, bellybands, bikinis—to satisfy his sexual desires.
...
The maid corps was assembled.
Next came the militia.
Firstly, in terms of weapons, they also use finely forged longswords and iron shields, but usually they mainly use lumberjack axes and wooden shields.
It wasn't that Richard didn't trust them.
Rather, given their current physical condition, they simply couldn't swing the weapon more than a few times before collapsing from exhaustion.
Putting aside the longsword, a single round heavy shield weighs at least twenty kilograms.
This was originally a heavy shield specially equipped for superhuman soldiers; it's not something an ordinary person could hold with one hand for an extended period of time.
We'll distribute them after they've trained for a while and their physical strength has caught up.
Leather armor is fine.
The Frost Army's specially made military leather armor is filled with materials such as cotton and linen on the inner layer, which not only improves its resistance to impact but also keeps it quite warm.
After the entire militia team changed their uniforms, they were all in high spirits, a far cry from their previous simple coarse linen clothes, and finally looked more like soldiers.
Richard was quite satisfied with the completely re-equipped guards and militia.
The fastest way to grow.
It's about gritting your teeth and going for it.
After confronting the foreign tribes, both the militia members and the maids became less timid and more confident.
Moreover, with this outfit, if they were to face a beggar's army like the Snow Rabbit Clan, and their extraordinary combat strength were roughly equal, they could easily crush them.
...
As for the crossbow, let's leave it for now.
If a similar intrusion occurs again, the militia can be equipped with one weapon each to provide remote support from the rear.
This thing is simple and easy to use. With just a little practice, you can learn to estimate distances and use it, unlike a bow and arrow, which requires a certain talent and a long period of practice to master.
Moreover, the longbow made of animal sinew that he purchased was specially made; ordinary people could not pull it, and it was intended for use by guards.
There were two archers among the guards, named Remington and Barrett.
Only after they reach the extraordinary level will they be able to fully open their arms by imbuing them with life energy.
The archer profession in the Star Continent is quite unique; there are almost no organized high-level archer units.
Because archers rely heavily on their weapons, the basic extraordinary archers are fine, but the standard equipment is a specially made bow such as a longbow made of animal sinew.
Once an archer reaches the intermediate level of transcendence, if the lord cannot produce a large number of specially made magical bows or bows made of high-grade materials, the archer will have to use a lower-grade animal sinew longbow.
There is almost no change in real-time combat power between intermediate and basic transcendents, and this is especially true as the combat power level increases, which can be considered a waste.
For example, a Star-level archer must be equipped with a bow that even Star-level power finds slightly strenuous.
Then use a longbow made of animal sinew.
It'll probably break if you pull it.
Intermediate-level extraordinary soldiers are capable of withstanding the kinetic energy of the beast sinew longbow and charging forward without taking damage for a short time.
and so.
Lords who lack sufficient financial resources will rarely train many archers.
Usually, they only train a group in the reserves to deal with certain special situations or to manage territories.
Once these archers advance to the extraordinary level, they will be converted into melee infantry.
of course.
The absence of a formal organization does not mean it doesn't exist.
If equipped with a specially crafted magic bow, a high-level archer's attack power would be terrifying, making them a veritable battlefield sniper and the natural enemy of all ranged magic classes.
Richard purchased thirty specially made longbows and thirty shortbows made of animal sinew mainly to prepare for the future formation of a magical archer army.
With the [Enchanting & Modification] MOD, you'll never lack magical equipment again.
The loading progress during this period is used to slowly select and train archers.
...
After everyone had changed into their uniforms, Richard dismissed them and told them to quickly get back to their duties: some to build walls, others to train.
The maids then moved the pile of gifts Lucy had given them into the new house.
Yes.
The first stone house is finished!
Not only that, yesterday Irving also made a whole set of furniture. Although they were all simple wooden tables, chairs, cabinets and the like, at least it looked like a home.
more importantly...
At Richard's suggestion, a large bed three meters wide was prepared in the room, which was made of large round logs carved into rectangular blocks and stacked together.
A thick layer of cotton was laid on top, and a cashmere blanket was used as a mattress. Sleeping on it was not only warm and comfortable, but also very soundproof.
Unlike the wooden beds in the Frostcastle guest rooms, which creak and groan when rocked, making a noise so loud that even the neighbors could hear it.
Irving was a guard, and it would be beneath his dignity to assign him the work of a craftsman.
But Richard discovered...
Ever since I rejected his suggestion to build the house first that night, this guy's inherent occupational hazard inexplicably kicked in.
They couldn't stop them no matter what.
Let him be.
He figured he'd be ecstatic when the Ferret Trading Company delivered more building materials in a few days.
...
Although the stone house had been built, Richard did not go in to admire it immediately, but instead led Carl toward the fields.
The more than 1,000 cabbages are ripe; it's time to harvest them and quickly sow the seeds we bought.
Plant it a day earlier.
Harvest as soon as possible.
Halfway there, Richard suddenly turned back and asked Carl:
"It's a little past four in the afternoon, you must be hungry, right?"
Karl paused for a moment, then simply nodded without replying.
Richard smiled.
"Then what are you waiting for? Don't let your stomach be empty, quickly eat some silver star garlic to replenish it."
To avoid her yelling and screaming again later.
Karl remained silent.
He obediently took out a silver-flecked garlic clove, popped it into his mouth, and started gnawing on it, and then...
He then pulled a long strip of cloth from his pocket and used it as a scarf to cover his face and mouth, saying in a muffled voice:
"My lord, I've finished eating."
