Chapter 461: Ways to Stop War Horses from Going Mad
There are approximately more than 3,000 knights, all of them are extraordinary knights, and they are equipped with complete armor and war horses.
The most eye-catching thing is the smocks they are wearing. There is only a red cross on the snow-white smocks.
Nalant had seen such shapes and logos in movies and TV series in his previous life, but he didn't expect that they existed in this world as well.
Several counts from the Agate Principality immediately revealed the identity of these knights.
In front of the formation of the Northern Principality, King Field frowned slightly as he looked at the three thousand paladins in front of him.
He had no prior knowledge of the appearance of these three thousand holy knights, which made him feel a chill and endless anger in his heart.
The church's holy city is further north, and now these paladins are crossing half of the principality's territory without notifying him, which is already a great provocation to him, the king.
"Your Majesty Field, I'm glad to see you. Aren't you besieging the Agate Principality's army? Why doesn't it look like you are doing it now?"
Three thousand paladins stopped their horses in front of the Northern Principality's team, and then a middle-aged man in a white robe took off his hood and came to Field.
"Bishop Meyer, we have reached an armistice agreement with the Agate Principality, and there will be no more fighting this autumn!" Although he was very angry, but the other party's three thousand paladins were here, so Field could only bear it temporarily.
After a pause, he continued: "Bishop Meyer, I don't know what your church means? Why does your Holy Knights appear here?"
"Your Majesty Field, please don't be angry. Our church has an agreement with you, doesn't it? We want to help you defeat the Agate Principality!"
"In order to fulfill this agreement, our Holy City has secretly dispatched the Holy Knights to gather at the border just in case!"
"I was just worried that there were spies from the Agate Principality in your army, so I didn't inform you in advance!"
"A few days ago, I heard that there was an enemy invasion near Giant Forest City, so I quickly mobilized the Paladins into the principality to join them in Oak City! And they also arrived in Oak City this morning."
"Originally, I wanted the Paladins to help you deal with the invading troops from behind, but this morning I received a letter from Her Highness Isabella and knew that you were in trouble, so I chose to come directly to the south for support!"
"Your Majesty Field, it seems that we have come to the right place. You must be in big trouble, right?" Faced with King Field's question, Bishop Meyer, who was wearing a white robe and looked peaceful, explained in a leisurely manner.
Of course, a discerning person would immediately notice that his explanation was far-fetched. After all, mobilizing a large army into another country's territory without prior notice is actually the same as an invasion.
But he was able to speak so righteously and so sacredly.
Although King Field was furious after hearing this, among the three parties present, only the Agate Principality was the most disadvantaged because they lost their war horse, so they could only choose to endure it for the time being.
So, he followed Bishop Meyer's words and changed the subject: "Bishop Meyer, our war horses were completely controlled by the enemy in the morning, so we had to choose a truce with the opponent!"
"Bishop Meyer, do you know the reason?"
"Your Majesty Field, this is why I came!"
"What exactly can attract a war horse?"
"Your Majesty Field, if I guess correctly, they should have used a kind of purple grass to cause the war horses to riot."
"This kind of grass is very attractive to war horses and even herbivorous monsters. Of course, this purple grass is very rare, and I have only seen it in the classics of the Holy City!"
"Have you only seen it in the Holy City's books? I'm afraid you've seen it in the Holy Land!" Field cursed in his heart.
However, he was now more focused on solving the problem. He said in disbelief: "Purple grass? Bishop Meyer, is there really such a magical plant that can drive horses crazy?"
"Yes, I will prove it to His Majesty Field later. After all, I am here to help the Northern Principality defeat its enemies!" Bishop Meyer nodded affirmatively.
"Bishop Meyer, what can you do about purple alfalfa!"
Field no longer doubted the existence of purple grass, but his eyes narrowed, eager to know the solution.
He does not trust the church, and only if he can hold the solution in his hands can he feel at ease.
I don’t know if Bishop Meyer has seen through Field’s idea. He was not even prepared to hide the solution. He smiled generously and said: "Actually, the solution is very simple. That is to pinch out the juice of the green leaf grass and apply it on it.
The tip of the war horse's nose, so that the war horse can temporarily lose its sense of smell and resist the smell of the purple grass!"
"Green leaf grass! That's right! Now that we know what causes the war horse to go crazy, it will be fine as long as the war horse loses its sense of smell temporarily!"
Green leaf grass is a common weed on the grassland. War horses do not like to eat this weed because it can temporarily paralyze the mouth and nose of the war horse.
But after knowing how Nalant aroused the war horse, Field just thought about it and figured out how to deal with it.
Although the effectiveness of green-leaf grass is only a few hours, it is not a big deal. As long as you carry a few more green-leaf grasses with you, you will not encounter things like that in the morning again.
"Your Majesty Field, now that the chat is over, it's time for us to attack the enemy!"
"The more than a thousand knights opposite are all extraordinary knights. I think these should be all the extraordinary knights of the elite army of the Agate Principality!"
"If you solve them, the Agate Principality will be completely included in your territory!"
This time, in order to protect Nalant, King Culver and several earls of the Agate Principality came with their extraordinary knights.
Therefore, the number of people is about 1,300.
And the church has a total of three thousand paladins coming here at this moment. If they really take action, it will indeed be the best time to wipe out the Agate Principality.
Of course, this is what it says on the surface, but don’t forget that among the more than a thousand people in the Agate Principality, there are seven golden knights.
Among the three thousand holy knights of the church, there are only two golden knights. Therefore, without the help of the Northern Principality, the church would not be able to annihilate the Onyx Principality army.
Field was a little hesitant when he heard this.
Although he wanted to destroy the Agate Principality, it was not under such circumstances.
If the Agate Principality is annihilated now, will the church turn around and deal with it?
"Why, does His Majesty Field have any scruples? This is a very good opportunity!!" Bishop Meyer said.
"Bishop Meyer, all the horses in my army are now exhausted and cannot be mounted to fight..."
"Your Majesty Field does not need to worry about this. Since I have brought the Holy Knights, there is no need for His Majesty Field to dispatch the Royal Knights. We only need you and a few marquis and earls to cooperate with us in the war to deal with a few golden knights of the Agate Principality.
