Chapter Seven, Slave Market.
The berserker possesses the berserk skill. After berserking, the berserker becomes a complete killing machine on the battlefield. However, the berserker has a well-known drawback, which is the lack of discipline after berserking, leaving only one thought - recklessness.
In the northern barbarian tribes, there are dozens of different types such as the mountain barbarians, savages, and ice field barbarians, etc. These barbarian tribes have a similar appearance to humans, with tall stature, generally over 1.8 meters, and some even exceeding two meters.
Aside from these slaves, there are also some who are skilled in a particular craft. The prices of these artisan slaves are higher, ranging from five to fifty gold nars. In the tents behind those slave traders, the most popular slaves in the market are the female ones. Sulun went in to take a look.
The scene inside gives him a feeling of a small island country movie from a past life, all white, only covering essential parts. Prices range from a minimum of five gold dinars to two hundred gold dinars, and as for what elf slaves, basically there are none. Since the closure of the Emerald Forest, it has been a long time since elves appeared on the mainland.
So after this, the Berserker was rejected from joining the army. Even if they were to join, they would be assigned to cannon fodder or death squads. These are the troops used for charging or holding the line, essentially a military with orders to die without hesitation. No other instructions are needed, just a relentless charge.
Just the group of slaves in front of us are not craftsmen, but a group of barbarians. Barbarians are also a kind of savage tribe, most of them are about two meters tall, strong in strength, excellent warriors, and this kind of savage tribe also has a special profession - berserker.
For example, the Northern Barbarians, Centaurs, Orcs, etc. Sulun's goal is the Northern Barbarians. The Northern Barbarians are not a single race, but a general term for the barbarian tribes in the northern wilderness. Many tribes live in the northern wilderness, and these tribes are uncivilized and barbaric.
Of course, it is not to say that slaves with dependents are not welcomed. For example, some skilled craftsmen, in order to motivate them to work hard, would purchase these slaves along with their families.
There is another more important reason, which is that the price of these berserkers is very low, and this is the main reason.
If Suren wants to purchase slaves for farming, these are the best choices.
Sending these slave traders away, Suren walked further into the slave market. Naturally, not all slaves in the market are of this kind. Upon entering the market, the environment here has improved a lot. At least there are no excreta flowing on the road.
Suren's former wish was to buy a cat ear maid and a fox tail maid, but had to reluctantly give up due to considerations about the territory.
Wild Field Battle, these barbaric berserkers have never been afraid of anyone.
Suren used strong willpower to walk out of the tent. He was truly afraid that he would not be able to resist buying a few high-quality female slaves for two hundred gold coins each and forced himself not to look back. Suren arrived at the nearby special slaves, most of whom were of the Asian race.
The slaves here look relatively clean on the outside, and the slave traders are not as enthusiastic as before. They only answer when approached. The slaves here are basically well-trained and can be bought to work, with prices around three gold dinars.
As a result, the opponent's general seized the opportunity and dispatched cavalry to bypass these people and attack directly at Huanglong. Even when our own marshal was captured, those hot-headed warriors were still charging forward relentlessly.
Although these berserkers are not suitable for legion battles, they are very suitable for small-scale fights. It is appropriate for Suren to expand his territory. After all, those wild tribes have no discipline either. Both sides are at the same level, and no one is worse than anyone else. At this time, it depends on individual strength.
The remaining Jin Naresuren is ready to purchase food and tools for pioneering. In addition to these barbarians, the slave market also has beastmen, among which the most popular are the cat tribe and the fox tribe. You should know that the females of these two races are very beautiful. Moreover, those furry ears and tails are even more attractive to some people.
Seeing Suren's attire, the surrounding slave traders came forward to introduce, but Suren showed no interest in these lowest-level slaves. If these people were used as the territory's guards, I estimate that a group of goblins and kobolds could defeat them.
Thirty elite soldiers dreaming of expanding their territory in broad daylight is nothing but a pipe dream. Unless all of these elite soldiers are at the knight level, who only need to pledge allegiance to a noble to obtain a manor and noble status, they will only join you in exploring new territories when they have nothing better to do.
Generally speaking, there are not many slaves who bring their families with them because they are difficult to sell. Many people buy slaves because they are low-cost and can make money for them, but it is not cost-effective to buy slaves with families. If they have labor, it's okay, but if they don't, it's seen as a burden or even a loss-making deal by those who buy slaves.
Just as Sulun was considering which type of slave to purchase, he suddenly saw a group of strange slaves on the side of the road. Other slaves were either physically strong or skilled, but these slaves in front of him were interesting. They were of all ages and it was obvious at first glance that they were accompanied by their families.
Killing people from other tribes is done without any hesitation.
These barbarians in front of us are even more so. Besides warriors, there are even more elderly and children among them, which makes this group of barbarians completely ignored.
This is a disaster for a human army that emphasizes discipline. There were once people who wanted to incorporate these crazy warriors into their forces, hoping to harness their combat power. However, on the battlefield, these guys completely disregarded their own camp and charged forward recklessly, causing chaos in their own ranks.
Because of this, it is somewhat awkward for the powerful warrior slaves of the barbarian tribe. As disposable commodities, their prices are too high.
Some barbarians, after systematic training, can become elite warriors. The nobles of the northern provinces all have some barbarian soldiers to varying degrees. Don't think these soldiers are unreliable. In fact, the loyalty of these barbarian soldiers is quite good because the barbarians are tribal, so in their eyes, besides their own tribe, all other tribes are considered enemies.
A barbarian soldier requires a minimum of 35 gold narls, plus weapons and equipment. It is estimated that a qualified barbarian soldier would cost 150 gold narls for a complete set. Even if one were to spend all their wealth, they could only equip 30 elite soldiers. "Suren frowned and said, "I only have a little over 5,000 gold coins left. Apart from keeping some to buy other things, the rest is prepared to purchase slaves."
A well-trained barbarian soldier has a minimum price of 35 gold nars. The harsh natural environment has endowed these people with strong physiques. If weapons, equipment, and numbers are not taken into account, ordinary people are no match for these barbarians.
