Wizarding World Beekeeper.

Chapter 180 The Concept of the Knights of Holy Light
After talking about his affairs, Karen changed the topic to the card table in front of her, and said with a playful expression:
"Would you like to play a game of breaking the military card?"

"..."

Hua Mi said she didn't know how.

This is a popular game among nobles, and it is normal for him to not know how to play it as a mountain villager.

"The rules are very simple. It can be played by 2 to 7 people. You choose an identity at the beginning and use the Seven Kingdoms as the background to expand your power through war cards, trade cards, trick cards, etc...."

After listening to Karen's brief explanation, I found that the rules of this card game are indeed not complicated.

What is complicated is the introduction of the various cards.

How to use various cards flexibly and cooperate with each other to gain advantages is what requires using your brain.

I played a game for teaching purposes, and as expected I lost miserably.

Hua Mi also gained a general understanding of the game while being beaten passively.

Pojun Card, as the name suggests, is a card game based on the overt and covert struggles of the Seven Kingdoms.

As the saying goes, games come from life. As a form of artistic expression, they can reflect the current social situation to a certain extent.

From this we can draw a conclusion:
On the surface, the seven countries are friendly to each other and are allies, but fundamentally speaking, they are still in a relationship of opposition and competition with each other.

Under this situation, if a war breaks out between the Emerald City and the Kingdom of Tulum, [-]% of the other six countries will not provide full support in accordance with the alliance.

Everyone must have their own agenda.

It would be righteous not to stab someone in the back.

Specifically, we can refer to the history of the Warring States Period in China, when a mob of six kingdoms attacked Qin.

"If we really want to fight with the elves in Emerald City, the situation facing the Kingdom of Tulum will be more severe than I imagined." Hua Mi thought to herself.

Played another round and Karen still won.

This princess's card skills are quite good. It can be said that she can calculate three moves at a time.

She doesn't just rely on conquest cards, she also makes good use of trade cards and trick cards.

Sometimes when a trade card is played, both sides will win-win, or even she will suffer a loss, but after a few rounds, she will find that it was actually her plan, and she will get back all her money later with profit.

"Saren, the Elf King of Emerald City, is a careerist. She has always believed that humans occupy too many resources. Since taking office, she has never stopped plotting expansion. Recently, she has become more and more high-profile. She must be almost ready."

Even when Princess Karen talks about such serious topics, she behaves calmly and casually, as if she is telling a distant story.

"The elves' army is not as numerous as ours, but their individual combat power is generally stronger than that of humans - not in terms of weapons and equipment, but in the application of magic. Those arrogant guys are a race blessed by the goddess of magic."

This is a very helpless practical problem.

The gap in equipment can be narrowed, but in terms of magic talent, the only way humans can think of at present is to use magic potions to temporarily improve their strength.

But this is usually accompanied by side effects and various sequelae——

Soldiers who came back from the battlefield generally had physical defects of one kind or another. Not all were injured when fighting the enemy, but some were also caused by taking a large amount of magic potions.

Now there is an even more desperate fact:
Humans can take potions, and so can elves.

Moreover, most of the resources in the alchemy field are now in the hands of Emerald City, which undoubtedly greatly enhances the overall strength of Emerald City.

According to Princess Karen, this is also the result of the elf king's years of management.

The elves' innate high perception of magical elements makes their achievements in alchemy much higher than that of humans.

After Saren came to power, she began to vigorously develop alchemy in a targeted manner. Under her operation, the headquarters of the Alchemy Society eventually moved to the Emerald City. This further attracted more and more talents to the Emerald City for further study, forming A virtuous cycle.

The result is that now, at least in the field of alchemy, the seven countries combined cannot compete with the Emerald City.

"Can we only rely on numbers to win?" Karen asked herself and shook her head: "No, this is not a normal phenomenon. It's time to make changes. Human lives are equally important as elves, and there will be casualties on both sides. The ratio of people must be at least 1:1, or even less." So what do you want to do?

Hua Mi admitted that she was attracted by her speech and was curious about what plan she could come up with——

Because from her tone, it was obvious that she had some kind of plan.

"Build an elite force."

Karen played out a trick card, looked away from the card table, and looked at Hua Mi with burning eyes, like a child eager to share his thoughts: "The number does not need to be too many, but it must be strong enough. When war comes, , they will charge at the forefront, like a sharp blade, tearing apart the enemy's line!
"Of course, this is easy to say, the key is how to do it. The holy light honey you mentioned last time makes this idea possible."

It turned out that this was what she had in mind.

Hua Mi understood.

Holy Light Honey, also known as Hagoromo Qianhuan Honey.

This honey can indeed greatly enhance individual combat power - as long as it is specially trained, both defense and attack power can be significantly improved.The chopper team charges forward, and the ordinary troops follow closely to harvest. It is indeed a very good plan.

However, his current inventory of Hagoromo Sengen Honey only has more than 1000 bottles.

At first glance it seems like a lot.

But using it as a military reserve is probably not enough, right?
Just training to control the Holy Light, the amount of honey consumed by an army is probably staggering.

Karen said: "As I said, the number of elite troops does not need to be too large, 100 people are enough. One hundred well-trained Holy Light Knights can open a gap on the battlefield."

Is 100 people enough?

Hua Mi had no idea about war scenes and could not refute it.

"There used to be only 100 members of the Ash Knights, but they encircled and killed an evil dragon."

Karen explained that she saw the record of the Knights of Ashes in a book and came up with the idea of ​​an elite force.

Thinking about how majestic the Ash Knights were back then, they were also famous throughout the Western Continent.

It's a pity that almost all of them were lost in the battle of slaying the dragon, and the inheritance was ended.

Since then, the cavalry of the Kingdom of Tulum has been languishing.

This little princess is now very ambitious. She wants to restore the glory of the Knights and create a Knights of Holy Light!

"With the blessing of Holy Light Honey, individual combat power will indeed be greatly improved, but..." Hua Mi pondered for a moment and asked another question: "I am afraid that an elite cavalry unit cannot be maintained by individual combat power alone. Get up, teamwork and combat methods are the most important, otherwise it will just be a mess, and you may face various problems on the battlefield. You must designate a trustworthy and experienced knight to conduct special training for the troops."

"What you said... makes sense."

The little princess frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

It turns out you haven't thought about this issue at all.

Hua Mi was ashamed.

It can be seen from this that her understanding of this aspect is still lacking.

After all, he was still too young. He just came up with a proposal on a whim without considering the specific details.

"I have a candidate." Hua Mi said.

"Who?"

"Strictly speaking, it is no longer a human being...I am talking about the ghost of the last leader of the Knights of Ashes, Elvin Duncan..."

"ghost?"

The little princess looked in disbelief.
