Seeing this, some people may want to complain. Isn’t it normal for an established rebel army to have military horses? The cavalry is a very powerful unit, and it’s not just the empire that has cavalry.
Indeed, it is normal for the rebels to have military horses, but players usually do not see them riding military horses in a non-combat state. Even if they do, there will be NPC guards far beyond the player's strength.
The chance of getting a military horse mount by sneaking is slim.
This is one of the few differences between games and reality.
Why is there such a setting?
It's very simple. This is a way to balance the game's brain. In the middle and early stages of the game, mounts, as a rare resource, will limit the ways to obtain them.
In a combat state, dead cavalry and mounts will disappear simultaneously so that players cannot capture them easily.
Including the previous plot copy of Lionheart's Wrath, it is not that Yue Feng has never had the idea of his own NPC legion military horses, but the horses in the stables are guarded by special NPC soldiers 24 hours a day, which is much stricter than guarding against thieves.
!
But this time it was different. After discovering the rebel stables, Yue Feng observed them carefully for a long time and found that the closest defensive point to the stables was actually the turret watchtower located a few hundred meters away in the northeast corner.
No one on duty?
There are at least several hundred army horses. Is there any chance that the horses in the rebel camp can be secretly obtained?
After Yue Feng came up with this idea, he patiently observed it for more than half an hour and determined that there were no hidden sentries in the entire rebel camp. The huge military camp seemed to be heavily guarded, but in fact it was full of defense loopholes.
hole.
After making up his mind, Yue Feng started to think about how to get these military horses back. Go back and tell Catherine and ask her to call the Imperial Army NPC soldiers to come over and have a fight.
This move won't work!
Even if NPC soldiers come to annihilate the rebels, the spoils are enough to be obtained by themselves. If you can reward a small part, it will be a big deal, but most of them will definitely be confiscated.
Thinking of this, Yue Feng immediately eliminated the plan and made wedding clothes for others. Yue Feng refused to do the matter of NPCs eating meat and drinking soup.
While thinking about it, Yue Feng suddenly thought of a detail!
Lingyun City is a first-level main city, and horse tags are sold here!
Yes, horse cards! I’ve been in Novice Village for a long time, so I forgot about this thing!
What is a horse card?
To put it bluntly, it is an independent space that seals horses. Just like the player's mount space, a mount can be stored. The difference is that this horse card can be traded.
In other words, if the player does not accept the plot mission of this professional mentor and comes to Lingyun City in advance before the second turn, the player's mount trade will not be possible until after the second turn when he has a horse card.
Now that Yue Feng has accepted the mission and came to Lingyun City in advance, he can buy horse cards, so this restriction will no longer work!
Thinking of this, Yue Feng slapped his head and immediately hid in the dark and activated the return stone!
After going back and forth several times, Yue Feng didn't care about wasting time in between. Regardless of whether it's a game or reality, the more profitable something is, the more careful planning and preparation are needed. In those movies and TV series or novels and fantasy, the protagonist can just wave his wish and someone will surrender when he opens his mouth.
The plot cannot really exist.
Returning to Lingyun City, Yue Feng walked all the way towards the grocery store selling horse tags. After talking and asking about refreshing the goods list, he found the option of horse tags.
Anyone can afford a horse tile and a gold coin. Yue Feng looked at the gold coins in his pocket and immediately bought all 500 coins in stock.
But after buying it and taking a look at the properties of the horse tag, Yue Feng became depressed again.
Restrictions on use: Level 30 for knights, and level 60 for other professions!
Damn it! I’m just a swordsman, so I can’t use this horse card!!
It will take a long time for Yue Feng to upgrade to level 60. It will definitely not be possible in a short time! At least in the remaining ten hours, there is no chance at all!
Could it be that the fat that was almost in his mouth was spit out like this? Yue Feng was unwilling to do so.
Just when Yue Feng was racking his brains to think about the feasibility, he suddenly thought of Catherine again.
Second turn at level 60?
She really didn't have enough to use it, but Catherine did. She had a horse card. When she ran away after being rescued, Catherine used the horse card to summon her own war horse.
As long as Catherine agrees to help, she can definitely get those war horses!
Thinking of this, Yue Feng turned around and left, heading straight to the Sun Temple.
When he arrived at the temple, Yue Feng briefly greeted the guards, and one of the guards entered the temple and called Catherine out after a while.
"It's so late, do you have anything to do with me?" Catherine looked at Yue Feng up and down, her expression a little confused.
When they separated a few hours ago, the two made an appointment to meet. Why did they come to see me again in the middle of the night?
"Uh, dear mentor, I'm sorry to disturb you at this time. I wonder how your uncle's injury is being treated? I have something I need your help with now. I wonder if you have time?" Yue Feng asked straight to the point.
"After using the medicine, it has initially taken effect. The subsequent work to dispel the demons can only be done tomorrow when the medicine is at its highest effectiveness. The high priest has already agreed to help! What can you do?"
Yue Feng looked up at the temple guards and whispered: "I found a rebel stronghold, inside..."
From beginning to end, Yue Feng explained the general situation and told Catherine about his dilemma of being unable to use horse cards for the time being.
"Are you sure it's the rebel's military horse?" Catherine confirmed again after listening.
"Confirm! I saw this mark from the defense plan given by the general guarding the underground stronghold who rescued you!
If you can help me get these troops and horses, I can donate the defense map. Don’t you owe the temple a favor? This map may be able to make up for part of it!”
After hearing about the defense plan and the favor from the temple, Catherine's originally hesitant attitude instantly became firm. This was actually a very good suggestion.
The rebel forces on the defense map may not be large, but for senior NPCs who have reached a certain level, what matters is not these rebels, but the military merits obtained after wiping out these rebel strongholds!
If the defense plans mentioned by Yue Feng are true, then it will be enough to repay the favor of the great priest!
"I can help you! But when it's done, give me this defense map!"
"No problem!" Yue Feng saw that Catherine relented and agreed decisively.
The relationship between the player and the NPC is determined by their friendship. The friendship between Yue Feng and Catherine is already very high. Now that it is a rescue mission and they have to take out the defense map as a reward, the relationship is even closer. They can persuade them to move.
Catherine's help was also expected by Yue Feng.
"Then let's set off now, taking advantage of the darkness and making it less likely to be discovered!" Yue Feng continued.
"It's not that easy to steal the rebels' horses. Have you brought money? Come with me and I'll take you to buy something!"
"Bring it! What do you want to buy?"
"follow me!"
Catherine left the temple with Yue Feng and walked towards the NPC shop on the commercial street.
