Chapter 11: The God of Wealth, Ploutos
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Needless to say, the battle record of the armored cavalry of Byzantium was the strongest cavalry under the command of the East Rome!
Byzantium was the East Rome Empire. It had existed for more than 1,000 years. Apart from the strong defense of Constantinople, the strength of its army was also extremely important.
At that time, the army was no longer dominated by the Romans. I had people from all kinds of origins.
Their combat skills were also very high, especially the cavalrymen in heavy armor.
As for the golden-armored cavalrymen, on the Anatolian Plains, they had once had a glorious time. They had resisted the Celes and defeated the Persians...
They were each equipped with a 50-kilogram vest, a long sword, and 30-kilogram iron armor. Among them, the horse’s chest armor was the thickest to protect it from spear piercings.
Byzantium’s battle tactics were as follows:
. Archers release a heavy rain of bows and arrows, killing a portion of the enemy, weakening the enemy’s strength.
. The golden armored cavalry began to charge at the enemy.
. The heavy armored infantrymen advanced forward.
. The follow-up troops followed.
Clearly, the legendary soldier’s heroic souls summoned by the Eternal Roster were the 50,000 Byzantium armored cavalry.
They were the earliest and strongest Byzantium armored cavalry!
“This is just what I hoped for. 3,000 ancient Roman phalanx infantrymen are enough for the time being. Now that 50,000 Byzantium Armored Cavalry have come, they will solve the greatest problem I’m facing!”
Jerry was very happy that new addition was cavalry.
And in this time, cavalry was much more powerful than infantry!
With so many cavalrymen, his strength had definitely doubled!
However, Jerry’s summoning was not over yet.
[ Congratulations, Master. You have obtained 30,000 scouts! ]
Jerry was stunned. So it was scouts this time? And he got 30,000 of them? Wasn’t that too many?
But thinking about it carefully, he wasn’t surprised.
After all, this world was so big. If one wanted to find out the intelligence about other cities and kingdoms, they would need scouts to obtain information.
However, even though that was the case, he would definitely not be able to use all of the 30,000 scouts until he had occupied the entire or at least the majority of the state Qinzhou.
These scouts could hide all over the Qinzhou and collect all kinds of intelligence.
At this moment, Jerry had just a small place. More than a thousand scouts were enough to gather information for him.
“But before long, I will have these scouts spread out in every corner of Qinzhou, and even every corner of the world!”
Jerry thought.
A legendary army and an intelligence organization. He was very lucky.
With them at hand, he could go on with the next step.
“Come on, come on, summon the third one for me!”
Jerry licked his lips excitedly, hoping he’d get another good thing.
Or another powerful figure.
“No matter who comes, it’s just a good thing!”
[ Congratulations, Master. You have summoned a mythical figure: Plutus! ]
Jerry was stunned. It wasn’t a war god or a wisdom god!
It was Plutus, the god of wealth!
“It’s him!”
In Jerry’s mind, information about Plutus appeared:
Plutus (πλοsomething τοσ, Ploutos | Plutus): the God of Wealth, the son of Demeter, the goddess of grain, and the hero Lasion.
Demeter and Lasion married in a field that had been plowed three times, and gave birth to Plutus, who was raised by the goddess of peace, Irene.
Plutus originally was in charge of the harvest of grain, which was then the main source of wealth.
Later, as society developed, the allegorical nature of Plutus was strengthened, associated with the goddess of peace, Irene, the goddess of luck, Tyche, and the goddess of craftsmanship, Athena Ergane.
Plutus was depicted as a teenager or a child with headdress of a leaf crown and a Cornucopia in his hand.
He was blind, so he couldn’t evenly distribute the wealth; he was lame, so he was always late; he had wings on his shoulders, so he always left quickly.
In terms of wealth and economy, few people could be more powerful than Plutus, whose wealth was comparable to that of a country!
As the god of wealth, he was loyal to Jerry. What did it mean?
It meant that Jerry would have enough money to do anything with ease, whether it was the replenishment of troops, the expansion of the city, or the improvement of the livelihood of the people, etc.
It could be said that this summoning had directly elevated Jerry’s team to perfection!
The next step was to continue expansion!
Currently, there were four great gods and fifty thousand troops!
In the future, there would be ten great gods and hundreds of thousands of troops!
A hundred gods and millions of troops!
These were all Jerry’s goals. The Empire Era was very, very big. After a hundred years, the people from Earth basically could not meet each other in this world. One could imagine how huge it was.
Therefore, Jerry’s goal was very big. Qinzhou was as big as the American land, much bigger than an ancient kingdom.
Jerry’s goal was not only Qinzhou, but many states like it. Therefore, no matter how many gods he had, they would not be too many!
A million soldiers might be a lot for a country.
But compared to such a huge world, perhaps a million soldiers were not a big army, right?
Jerry immediately summoned Plutus.
“I’m Plutus. Greetings, my Lord!”
Plutus bowed respectfully. This ordinary-looking man in front of him didn’t look like the god who controlled wealth.
“Plutus, from now on, all of the territory under the city lord’s control will be handed over to you.
“I believe that you will definitely be able to give me a pleasant surprise,” Jerry said seriously.
After all the things like soap, glass, paper, and so on were brought into this world by the people before him, even the modern-day thinking Jerry didn’t know how to make a fortune in this world.
But Plutus could, since he was the god of wealth.
Even though his divine power was greatly weakened, as long as he was here, wealth would always come!
As the god of wealth, as long as Jerry fully supported him, he would definitely be able to make the wealth on his territory flourish.
Then, the wealth would provide the greatest logistical support for Jerry, so that Jerry only needed to devote himself to conquering the world.
“I will not fail my mission!”
Plutus said excitedly.
He was thrilled that Jerry gave him such an important mission.
