Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 518. 515. Pacesetter Cavaliers

In the west of the Iowa Valley, there is a boundary river. Now the west side of the boundary river can be regarded as being crowded by tens of miles of joint camps. Even the barbarian camp in Rand was pitifully small compared to the joint camp on the river bank.

Seen from the air, most of these camps are underground caves. Several kilometers of flat ground have been ruined by large areas of rat holes. There are only a few places with big tents like barbarians. Stand out from the crowd.

"Such a large area, I'm afraid there must be tens of thousands of mice?" Agni sent a message to Rand, his tone full of worry.

"I don't think so many ratmen will be able to break through the mountain pass, but what are they planning? For the death of the orc king's court?" Lante was more puzzled than uneasy, and didn't understand the logic of the ratman army's suppression. .

Back at the castle on the south slope of Iowa, all the subordinates who greeted Lant had known the situation west of the boundary river for a long time, and they all showed embarrassment. They do mobilization.

"I've seen those ratmen in Abedi. The average ratmen are shorter than Nila, and the biggest ones are shorter than a small knife handle." Lante took his family as an example, waving his fists with high spirits, "Just With that combat power, it doesn’t matter if a large group comes, our knights’ new armor is almost finished, if it is combined with black scaled horses, it will burn a large area!”

Rand's words caused the subordinates to laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly eased up.

"My lord, will other orc tribes take the opportunity to attack?" Petraeu was very afraid that the orcs would advance and retreat as a whole.

"It's possible, but the probability is not high. They will definitely watch the battle of the Ratmen," Lante began to analyze based on what he saw and heard in the enemy camp. We will wait for the ratmen to break through the pass, and then take the opportunity to touch in, so what we really have to deal with is the large group of ratmen."

The subordinates listened to Rand's analysis and nodded. In fact, bringing the idea of ​​the orc tribe into the human nobles is also completely established. All families have the idea that dead friends will never die. The most important thing in the war is Taking advantage of the opportunity to make money and preserve strength, as for desperately fighting against opponents, that is only something that barbarians like Rand can do.

When his subordinates left one after another, Rand specifically left Alf Fate and Nedland Wilson, who were already senior knights, and three senior knights who had just arrived in the past two days: Petraeu Lanyuan, Bitter · Bai Xiao and Waynes Lanyuan, although his analysis just now was full of optimism, he still wanted to beat the more core subordinates.

"How is your recent training?" Rant looked at the five senior knights and frowned.

"My lord, according to your previous request, in the past two days we have formed a pacesetter squad, all using the latest magic pattern armor, and the effect is quite good!" Petraeu, as the deputy head of the knight order, replied on behalf of all the senior knights.

The so-called pacesetter squad is an experimental team that combines the latest armor, organization and combat ideas.

In Rant's view, knights in this world should not be compared with knights in his hometown: the combined height of knights and horses 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, not classical cavalry.

For example, an armored battalion in a certain area of ​​​​the hometown, that is, about 30 tanks, equipped with 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 some kind of monster-like armored force, it should start with strengthening protection and firepower, that is to say, to pursue magic strikes through magic pattern armor and collective moves, rather than purely physical slashing and killing.

With this in mind, Rand asked Wendy to take Sophia to redo the armor magic pattern of the Knights of the Galloping Knights these few days, and asked Tanya for advice when she came back a few days ago, and finally completed the 10 Production of sets of armor and weapons.

Under March, Petraeu organized the knights of the pacesetter team to conduct a debriefing exercise for Rand.

The 10 knights lined up from east to west on the east side of the south slope of Iowa. Their captain had just broken through to an intermediate knight and was riding a junior black-scaled horse. Among the remaining knights were 4 knights. They are junior knights, five are apprentices, and the horses under their crotch are all level 5 monsters.
According to the training content during the day, the team first trotted for 0 meters from north to south, and then began to accelerate. After reaching a certain speed, the captain tore apart two scrolls, and the magic pattern on the monster horse changed. The surrounding area became denser, driving the [-]-level black scale horse to start to speed up, and then other knights also tore up the scroll, and the magic pattern on the armor, vest, and horse of the entire team formed a subtle resonance, and the air was gradually ignited, forming a ten-meter High firewall.

The knights raised their specially-made carbine guns and activated the magic circle on the handle of the guns. The brightness of the wall of fire instantly increased, and a bright flame blade shot out from the wall of fire, instantly splitting the boulder in front of it.

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 air is extremely compressed.

And the captain and his junior beast even jumped directly, and fell a hundred meters away in the form of a fireball. The moment they landed, the compressed air suddenly exploded, sending out a roar, and the shock wave oscillated around. Blocked by the flame wall.

"During the real battle, the other knights will compress the opponents into a relatively concentrated area like iron bricks, while the captain is like a hammer falling from the sky!" Petraeu explained from the side.

"Very good, this is what the Galloping Horse Knights should look like," Rand patted the subordinates around him, very satisfied.What he was sure of was that if the Earl of the Maned Wolf had such a team of cavalry last winter, he would have had nothing to do with him.

Rand didn't want his knights to drown each other completely by relying on numbers like last year, but he would also have doubts about deploying the knights separately.

The current knight order is moving in a very good direction: the combat power comes from the system of knights, monsters, 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 an intermediate monster." Watching the pacesetter team continue to practice, Rand said lightly, "My knight team leader will not be just a high-level knight."

"My lord, what do you mean?" Petraeu and several senior knights couldn't hide their reveries. If Agni becomes a high-level monster, the level of mounts of the entire knight order will go a step further. Now there are more than 20 junior knights. The black-scaled horses will become more than 20 intermediate-level black-scaled horses, and I am afraid that every young black-scaled horse in the team will become a junior monster.He no longer dared to think about it.

"By the end of this year at the latest, I will be able to have a combat power comparable to that of the Dragon Knights,"
