The orcs thought that George was the commander of this team, so they kept complimenting him. However, under the signal from Lova's eyes, George did not correct this.

Before the half-orc answered George's question, he first gave everyone a popular science introduction about the distribution of arms and classes in the life camp.

Unlike other multi-race camps, apart from the highest-level angels, the life camp has only one race, and that is humans.

Although humans belong to the lowest level of the racial hierarchy, that is, the first level, humans are also the race with the largest population base and the largest number of individual strong people in this plane. Therefore, the human fighting class is also divided by personal combat ability, supplemented by magic and equipment.

Level 1: Squire and Crossbowman. Ordinary human beings, after entering the army and undergoing basic training for half a year, can officially transfer to the first level of combat capability.

Second level: ballistae and pikemen. As the most important long-range suppression war machine on the human battlefield, after considering the power of the ballista and its bulkiness, the ballista was finally classified into the second level. Both are at the second level. In order to be able to skillfully use a three-meter-long spear, usually only warriors who have been on the battlefield can stand out from ordinary soldiers and be promoted to spearmen.

Level 3: Crusaders and Monks. To become third-level warriors, they themselves are already the best among the best. In addition, they must be supplemented by the baptism of magic potions and life spells, as well as the accumulation of equipment comparable to third-level magic weapons. Only then can one create a true crusader, or a monk.

Level 4: Champion Knights and Angels. The quantity and quality of fourth-level combat power are the most direct reflection of a country’s foundation and combat power, and this is the root of the Unicorn tragedy!

On the Day of Reckoning, with the help of angels, humans and other species survived and entered the new world-Exios. However, even if they entered this continent as refugees, the internal turmoil within humans continued for years. During the civil war, the angels were tired of being the executioners between humans and wiped out the Holy Fire of the Temple of Heaven in the human imperial capital forever. Since then, there has been no trace of angels in the Pelada Empire.

Losing the blessing of angels equals a serious decline in national power. The human empire had no choice but to come up with another way to make up for the lack of fourth-level combat power-spending a lot of money to build the knights who originally only had third-level advanced or third-level peak combat power into champion knights with fourth-level combat power. group.

However, equipment can be forged and strong men can choose from, but the horses under the knights are hard to find.

Ordinary war horses, even excellent horses, can only be used as a carrier for riding due to their bloodline, and it is difficult to add to the knight's combat power. However, unicorns, who are in charge of life and natural power, are different and match the life spell. A very high-speed unicorn can coexist with the knight through a life link.

When attacking, the unicorn can increase the vitality and strength of the knight. When sprinting, the knight's power can also increase the speed of the unicorn. After complementing each other, a champion knight can truly possess the fourth-level combat ability. The power of force.

However, this kind of perfection only exists in theory.

Not to mention the differences in camps, this is the first mountain that cannot be avoided in front of the Champion Knights, not to mention that unicorns have a special habit - whether male or female, juvenile or adult, unicorn horses The knights on the back can only be kind elves, or pure human virgins and children. If those strong human men are allowed to ride on their backs, no matter what methods the opponent uses, the unicorns will fight to the end.

After countless failures, the animal trainers who finally learned this lesson unwillingly had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and focus on the offspring of unicorns.

After years of research, animal trainers have discovered that the offspring of male unicorns and mares can only be relatively strong horses, and rarely have outstanding offspring; however, hybrids born of female unicorns and human horses , can perfectly inherit the excellent genes of unicorns, and inherit more of the mother's mana. The most important thing is that these hybrids, like their mothers, have a very good match with life magic.

These hybrids, if raised properly, can become an excellent mount that meets the requirements of the Knights in a few years.

"So, if they catch female unicorns, the trainers will tie them up with chains and starve them for a day, then add some estrus potion in the water tank, and then take the horses that have also been drugged and forcibly breed them. After the trainer got drunk, he revealed his secret to us: the stallion brought for breeding must be blinded a few days in advance, otherwise no matter how many chains there are, it will not be able to block the unicorn's blinding spell. In addition, the probability of getting pregnant through breeding is very low, so the trainer will lead several horses and take turns breeding them day and night. Although unicorns generally have a strong temper, if they become pregnant with cubs, they will never be able to breed again. I won’t be tired of life anymore.”

"But if you are unlucky and catch male unicorns, you can usually only take off their sharp horns and sell them to the mines to pull mine carts, or to the noble areas to pull carts. The body of a unicorn It stores a large amount of magic power, but without its sharp horns, these magic powers will be lost quickly. To put it bluntly, after losing its sharp horns, the unicorn will lose its magic power at the same time. Even if it does not die, the surviving unicorn will also lose its magic power. It's just a stronger white horse. But their sharp horns are really good things. The champion knight's gun, the dragon-slaying gun, is made of unicorn horns. This kind of horse can rival the holy weapon.

The spear is said to really be able to pierce the scales of a black dragon! "
