Metal armor often means "defensible defense" in cold weapons wars.

It is difficult for ordinary scimitar swords to cause damage to heavy plate armor, which means that the party without armor will be at an absolute disadvantage in the current combat environment.

One side was fully armed, the other side was almost "naked armor". Although the cavalry team attacked did not have an amazing formation, the result of the equipment gap after the contact between the two sides was very clear: the thirty-man cavalry team rushed from beginning to end, and there was not even a single one that was dropped!

They actually don’t have very clever martial arts, and it can even be said that most of them are not as good as Hans and his deputy. However, the huge gap in equipment directly ignores this point: they are wearing enchanted armor with "blocking" and "suspended" passive magic arrays!

As long as the crystal inlaid on the armor is sufficient, it can passively activate the "magic shield" to block the attack while reducing its weight by half. As a costly test piece, this armor was only produced with a hundred sets and was discontinued and revised. After they were transported from the Elson Arsenal, they were directly thrown by Roddy to Sodlor.

Therefore, the current team has allowed the horse thieves to deeply experience what despair is...

They waved their long swords desperately, but they felt that they were trying to cut a group of human-shaped iron piles, and their weapons were either rolled or broken, and they could not even break the defense.

Thanks to the fact that the team of knights' immediate combat ability was worse than expected, Hans survived this head-on charge. But injured, he realized that he had no hope of winning, so he immediately chose to escape.

Such an act will be devastating to morale.

The team that had lost its backbone suddenly scattered, and the rest of the matter was very simple. Three knights left the team and turned to chase Hans, while the remaining knights continued to advance to the horse thieves' camp. They charged and blocked the camp without any damage to the battle, forcing most of the horse thieves to flee.

When the private soldiers and the priests of "Rose Cross" arrived in the rear, Hans's head had been abandoned in the center of the camp, and the remaining horse thieves gave up their resistance and kneeled down to surrender.

The knights around could not hide their excitement. Many people were still trembling because of the surge in adrenaline. Some people were unable to hold the secondary weapons they carried because of their strength. The knight who looked like a captain took off his helmet, and his frowning looked obviously unsatisfied with his subordinates' performance.

"There are a lot of troubles than during training... Hasson! How did you ride a horse? You can't remember what you should remember, and you can still fall behind!"

Speaking is Roy, the subordinate of the Dragon Spear Knight Davidian. This thirty-man cavalry team is a reserve member of the Dragon Spear Cavalry Regiment.

In other words, these knights who have just won an overwhelming victory are a group of recruits who have never been on the battlefield.

“Check the equipment!”

After the battle, everyone began to follow the steps during training to confirm that the enchanted armor is normal, compare the crystal margin, organize the equipment, and count the arrows. Catherine, who followed behind, looked at the knights, dumbfounded and speechless.

Because the territory is close, she responded immediately after learning that Everta was "about to take action against the horses". She thought that this battle would be like traditional combat and would fight again, but she had just gathered seven knights and seventy or eighty people in the territory, and the horse camp with more than 400 people had been flattened by a cavalry team of thirty people...

The "Rose Cross" team was a logistics therapy team ordered to follow. Now, seeing that thirty knights were not even seriously injured, they could only go up and throw a few "healing techniques" to show off. The priest who was in charge of leading the team stood aside, but like Catherine, he couldn't help but look at the black armor and was stunned...

Do recruits who have just been training for a while have this kind of combat power?

Facing the threat of orcs, Catherine and the priest of "Rose Cross" were both unsure, but at this moment, they all had a thought in their minds:

Perhaps, can we fight back the orcs head-on?

"Are you kidding me? Thirty people? Then I captured the camp of four hundred people?"

The letter with the war report information was slapped on the table with a "pop". Earl Milno's gloomy eyes swept over, his lips moved, and finally cursed: "This group of waste!"

War news? It is impossible to make a mistake. Hans, the leader of the horse, was hung in public, and the entire southern part of Everta cheered for this. Now that the news reached Charles II, it was like slapping Milno's mouth hard. He did not expect that the horse would be wiped out, but he never thought that his plan would be ended so soon.

Earl Milno, sitting in the armchair, closed his eyes and tried to calm the anger in his chest, but when he thought of the scene where his son Senna was hanging in public, his hands trembled involuntarily.

Roddy must die! Everta must be destroyed!

Even if they are both humans, he does not feel the need to "share the same hatred of the enemy". The sooner Roddy and Sally die, the better. Just leave the matter of regaining the territory to others. Milno now hopes that the orcs will immediately capture the city of Hollier.

But these ideas were unrealistic after all, he sighed... Hans was just one of his many private soldiers. Since the support of Xiangma failed, the subsequent plans would be piled up one by one.

There are many ways to pull Iversa back. Earl Milno has been thinking about how to make Roddy die as soon as possible since accepting the mission of Charles II. However, this feeling of being defeated by the other party made him extremely frustrated, so that the emotions that he tried to control finally showed signs of losing control.

Once a person is blinded by hatred, the choices he makes will become more and more aggressive.

Earl Milno closed his eyes like a statue for a long time. When he opened his eyes again, there was a trace of deep madness in his eyes - he seemed to be calmer than before, his hands stopped trembling, his breathing stabilized, and even his frown slowly stretched...

Standing up, he searched through the paper piled up in the study, and soon found the most detailed map of Iversa.

Accurate scales, detailed population notes, and even the direction of the rivers is exactly the same. It can be said that with this map, all the villages in Everta are clearly aware of the population. The most important thing is... This map is extremely conspicuously marked out "Elsen City" and made key instructions.

Charles II's impression of Elson City remained on the "dashed ruins", and Milno was the same, but because Roddy was the lord of the city, his emphasis on Elson was the same as that of Hollier City.

After glanced at this map for a long time, Count Mirno calmly rolled up the map, turned around and handed it to his subordinate who had been kneeling there and did not dare to speak.

"Sir Count...is this?"

The other party reached out to take the map, his eyes just swept, and the dense markings were enough to make him feel the hatred of Everta and Roddy.

"Take it and copy it, the more you copy it, the better."

Earl Milno turned around and looked out the window with his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "Let me find a way to hand it to the orcs, they know what to do."

Thousands of miles away, the Tasman Kingdom.

The orders of Augustine's Great were carried out layer by layer, and the signal that the war was about to begin made the whole country busy. However, unlike the upper class nobles' desire and excitement for war, the "officers" at the bottom of the Tasman Kingdom were not having a good time at this time.

In the town of "Kelsu", which is not far from the king, the local lord Baron Pochi is sitting in front of the brazier and chatting with a man in black.

The long rains make it difficult for Tasman's daytime temperature to rise, and it will drop to about ten degrees at night. It is too hot to use the fireplace, but putting a carbon brazier can effectively remove the uncomfortable humidity and coldness. Baron Pochi is a normal human, but obviously he does not stand on the same front as the people under his rule - every lord knows the existence of the Tasman Kingdom, and they will eventually become a member of the Tasman undead.

So rather than saying that they are "lords", they are the managers of "flocks". To a large extent, how many new awakened undeads can appear in the entire Tasman Kingdom every year are determined by these lords.

"I understand that His Majesty wants to awaken more undeads in order to win this war, but... the ritual cost is really a lot. If the amount is twice as much, where can I get these ritual materials?"

Pochi complained in a low voice, saying that it is to "cry poor" towards the undead mage in front of him. But after all, this is also a very realistic problem: the ritual of awakening the undead is very resource-consuming, and there is also a problem of success rate. Every year, the undead awakened every year can only be decided after carefully selecting it, because the lord cherishes these expensive materials very much.

"The materials required for the ceremony will naturally be sent, but there will be a series of processes after the parliament's approval. Are you anxious now? Castleton and Gundof are not in a hurry? Their target number can be three times higher than yours."

The voice under the black robe was hoarse and low, and there was no emotional fluctuation. The "Caston" and "Gundov" he mentioned were both powerful lords, and the number of "lambs" under his command exceeded 100,000, which was a character like Poch who could not afford to offend a baron like Poch.

The off-white fingers clicked twice: "Don't think too much about resources. Now grit your teeth and achieve your goals. When we have more land, you may have to worry about the problem of too many resources."

Poqi's expression was a little calmer when he heard this, but he would not take the matter of "painting cakes to satisfy hunger" seriously. He just changed the topic: "The river broke again a few days ago. If the rain continues like this, I'm afraid many villages will suffer..."

"This kind of rain has been going on for hundreds of years. Why? Can't you resist this year?"

The man in black robe raised his eyelids, "Next time he wants to allocate funds from the council, he will change his reason. Even if the river breaks, he won't die. He will just kill and flood several villages. How much money do you think you can get out of the river embankment? It's important to quickly complete the task assigned by His Majesty."

Pochi was blocked and couldn't speak. It was indeed the flood of rain that caused a lot of losses. But after thinking about it, he felt that what the other party said made sense--Tasman's rain has been going on for hundreds of years. Since a large earthquake thirty years ago, even a large mountain torrent has not erupted. There is nothing to worry about so far.

"Then... I will put your Majesty's order first."

Baron Pochi then remembered another difficult thing and said unhappy: "By the way, the task of 'hunting alien species' issued by His Majesty is becoming increasingly difficult to do now. I have asked several other barons, and they also said that this kind of guy has been difficult to capture recently. I wonder if you can say a few words..."

This sentence finally made the Necromancer look embarrassed. Obviously, with his status and authority, he could not give a better answer. He hesitated for a long time, but sighed: "Your Majesty gave a dead order in this mission, and there is no room for maneuver."
