There is a boundary river in the west of the Iowa Valley. Today, the west side of the boundary river can be considered to be crowded with dozens of miles of joint camps. Even the barbarian camp of Lant's year was smaller than the joint camps on the river bank.
Viewed from the air, most of these camps are caves. Several kilometers of flat land have been destroyed by large mouse holes. Only a few places have large tents similar to those of the barbarians. Among the many caves, it can be said that Stand out from the crowd.
"In such a large area, there must be tens of thousands of rats, right?" Liehuo sent a message to Lant, his tone full of worry.
"I don't think these ratmen can break through the mountain pass, but what are they trying to do? To die for the orc king's court?" In addition to being uneasy, Lant was also confused and did not understand the logic of the army of ratmen pressing down on the border. .
Back at the castle on the southern slope of Iowa, all the subordinates who greeted Lant had already known about the situation west of the boundary river, and they all looked embarrassed. As soon as Lant arrived at the castle, they didn't even have time to pet the cat, so they had to give it to him. They do mobilization work.
"I've seen those rat men in Albaidi. The average rat man is shorter than Nila, and the largest one is shorter than the handle of a small knife." Lant used his family as an example, waving his fists with high spirits, "Just With that fighting power, it doesn’t matter if a large group comes, our knights’ new armor is almost completed, if combined with the black scale horse, it will burn a large piece!”
Lant's words caused his subordinates to laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a bit.
"Sir, will other orc tribes take the opportunity to attack?" Petraeu was very afraid that the orcs were advancing and retreating together as a whole.
"It's possible, but the probability is not high. They will definitely watch the rat-men fight," Lant began to analyze based on what he saw and heard in the enemy camp. "These orc tribes have their own Xiao Jiujiu, and they will definitely save themselves." We will wait until the rat men break through the pass, and then take the opportunity to get in, so what we really have to deal with is the large group of rat men."
The subordinates listened to Lant's analysis and nodded. In fact, the idea of bringing the orc tribe into the human aristocracy is completely established. The idea that all families are dead friends and not dead is the most important thing in the war. Taking advantage of the opportunity to make money and preserve strength, as for fighting against the opponent, that is something only a barbarian like Lant can do.
After his subordinates left one after another, Lant specifically left behind Alf Fate and Ned Wilson, who were already senior knights, as well as the three senior knights who had just arrived in the past two days: Petreu Lanyuan, Bit ·Bai Xiao and Waynes Lan Yuan, although his analysis just now was full of optimism, he still wanted to take a beating on the more core subordinates.
"How have you been training recently?" Lant looked at the five senior knights and said with a frown.
"Sir, according to your previous request, we have formed a pacesetter team in the past two days, all using the latest magic pattern armor, and the effect is quite good!" Petreu, as the deputy leader of the knights, answered on behalf of all senior knights.
The so-called pacesetter team is an experimental team that combines the latest armor, organization and combat ideas.
In Lant's view, knights in this world should not be compared with knights in their hometown: the height of the knight and horse combined is about 3 meters, which is basically a human armored vehicle, and the deployment of cavalry in this world is also very similar. Home armor instead of classical cavalry.
For example, an armored battalion in a certain area in my hometown has about 30 tanks and about 20 armored vehicles. This scale is actually similar to the Knights of the Earl of the Maned Wolf and the knights composed of vassals, or a medium-sized barbarian tribe. , with several small tribes nearby.
Since the idea is to build some kind of Warcraft-like armored force, we should start by strengthening protection and firepower. In other words, we should pursue magic strikes through magic pattern armor and collective moves, rather than pure physical slashing.
With this idea in mind, Lant asked Wendy to take Sophia to redesign the armor magic patterns of the Galloping Horse Knights in the past few days. He also took advantage of Tania's return to ask her for advice a few days ago, and finally completed 10 Production of sets of armor and weapons.
In March, Petraeu organized the knights of the pacesetter team to conduct a reporting exercise for Lant.
10 knights were lined up from east to west on the east side of the south slope of Iowa. Their captain had just broken through to become an intermediate knight. He was riding a junior black scale horse. Among the remaining knights were 4 They are junior knights, the five of them are apprentices, and the horses under their crotches are all level 0 monsters.
According to the day's training content, the team first jogged a hundred meters from north to south, and then began to accelerate. After reaching a certain speed, the captain tore open two scrolls. The magic patterns on the magic beast horse changed, and the wind and fire elements were added. The surroundings continued to be dense, causing the level 0 black-scaled horse to start to accelerate. Then other knights also tore the scrolls. The magic patterns on the armor, vests, and horses of the entire team formed a subtle resonance, and the air was gradually ignited, forming a more than ten meters High wall of fire.
The knights raised their special carbines and activated the magic circle on the handles of the guns. The brightness of the fire wall instantly increased, and a bright flame blade was launched from the fire wall, instantly splitting the boulders in front of them.
The team's performance was not over. Following the captain's command, all the knights launched their assault skills. With the help of the wind, the entire wall of fire was launched like a cannonball, flying forward for more than 50 meters. The high-speed rush swept the cavalry in front of them. The air is extremely compressed.
The captain and his junior Warcraft jumped directly and landed a hundred meters away in the shape of a fireball. The moment they landed, the compressed air suddenly exploded and roared, and the shock wave shook around them. They were not caught until they were in front of the cavalry. Blocked by a wall of flames.
"During a real battle, the other knights will compress the opponent into a relatively concentrated area like iron bricks, while the captain is like a hammer falling from the sky!" Petraeu explained at the side.
"Very good, this is what the Galloping Horse Knights should be like," Lant patted the subordinates around him, very satisfied. What he was sure of was that if Earl Maned Wolf had such a team of cavalry last winter, he would have been in trouble long ago.
Lant didn't want his knights to rely entirely on the number of people to drown the opponent like last year, but he would also have doubts if the knights were deployed separately.
The current Knights are moving in a very good direction: combat effectiveness comes from the system of knights, Warcraft, magic pattern equipment and even logistics supply. Among them, the most important thing for Knights is not force and level, but the execution of team tactics.
"My Agni is not just a mid-level monster," Lant said lightly as he watched the pacesetter team continue to practice, "My knight captain is not just a high-level knight."
"Sir, what do you mean?" Petreu and several senior knights swallowed their reverie. If Agni becomes a high-level monster, then the level of the entire knights' mounts will be further improved. There are currently more than 20 One junior black scale horse will become more than 20 intermediate black scale horses. Then I am afraid that every young black scale horse in the team will become a junior monster. He no longer dared to think further.
"By the end of this year at the latest, I will have a fighting force comparable to the Dragon Knights,"
