After the Battle of Lonely Mountain, Allen ordered a thousand sets of plate armor suitable for humans and a thousand sets of vests suitable for heavy cavalry from Thorin II, who had just recaptured Lonely Mountain.
The use of supplies for the cavalry.
Originally, this batch of armors should have been delivered a year ago. After all, Thorin personally promised Allen that he could complete fifty sets every year. Now it is a little late.
Gloin, who led the team, told Allen that the dwarves of Gushan were extremely busy last year because of the Dongyi people's affairs, and because they were prepared for the Dongyi people's attack, Gushan, which was not very rich in iron ore, was indeed unable to smelt iron.
Enough raw materials to fulfill Allen's order.
It was only last year, in the second half of 2942, that Rovanian entered a relatively stable state, and the dwarves began to continue to build armor for Allen, so it was a little late.
However, Gloin said that this year's fifty sets of armor will be completed within the specified time.
Regarding Gloin's explanation, Allen said it was understandable. After all, the Dongyi people's attack also disrupted many of his plans, and with such a good relationship between the two parties, this little thing was nothing.
Allen kindly retained Gloin and his companions, and after entertaining them well in Wilderness Town for two days, he allowed the dwarves to return to the Lonely Mountain.
Later, Allen looked at the plate armor made by the dwarves and felt a little worried.
It's not that the quality is not in line with Allen's ideas. Even from his perspective beyond this era, these armors are enough to be called sophisticated.
It's just that in Allen's opinion, these armors with a strong dwarven style may be a bit too bulky for his men.
You don’t need to take detailed measurements to know that the armor and stomach, which is made of large pieces of pure steel, is far thicker than Allen can understand. For example, the armpits or the joints where each joint is connected are not only protected by steel plates, but also have internal thickness.
It is covered with a double layer of fine metal soft mesh, which not only protects the wearer, but also does not affect their performance in battle.
Moreover, this set of plate armor includes a breastplate, shoulder armor, combat boots, leggings, a battle skirt surrounded by steel plates, and finally a giant hooded helmet with flying wings on both sides.
If I have to describe it, this set of armor is really similar to the one worn by Thorin II in the Battle of Gushan, except that the scale is enlarged a lot, and some designs are made in the shape that are more suitable for cavalry.
For example, the ring of steel battle skirt allows the wearer to freely disassemble and assemble it to protect both sides of the thigh while riding. The overall design of the armor can also better match the suit that is composed of steel plates and can be adjusted in size.
Vest.
It's good, Thorin definitely didn't cut corners on this batch of armor, and in Allen's opinion, any one of these armors would be much stronger than the one on King Haraus, and could even compete with
It is comparable to some of Pendor's plate armors, and similarly, the physical requirements are much higher.
Of course, Allen does not think that Thorin deliberately used thicker steel plates to build this batch of armor because of his friendship with him. This obviously does not meet the requirements for use. After all, thicker means heavier, and wearing it
It doesn't work if you can't move up.
Since Thorin did not do it intentionally, this situation can only illustrate the fact that in the land of Middle-earth, the physical fitness of those high-level human soldiers who are indigenous people is much better than Allen imagined.
They must have enough physical strength to put on these extremely heavy plate armors and look around on the battlefield.
However, his own cavalry are not natives of Middle-earth. In Allen's view, they probably do not have enough strength to wear this heavy plate armor calmly.
Those knights from the Kingdom of Swadia may be better off. After all, they originally wore chain-deck armor, which was very heavy. After wearing it for a while, they might get used to it.
But those Kugit Lancers are about one-fifth weaker than the Swadian Knights. They used to wear simple scale armor. It is estimated that it will be difficult to use these thicker plate armors in a short time.
, and they account for the vast majority of Allen's cavalry team, and more of them are Kujit riders who have never even worn scale armor in the past.
However, although this problem cannot be solved in a short period of time, it will slowly change over time.
Because Allen brought the training methods of the Griffin Knights out of the continent of Pendor and handed them over to the cavalry captains directly under his command, asking them to practice according to the training methods of the Griffin Knights.
Allen did not expect his cavalry to be as powerful as the Griffin Knights in a short period of time. It was not that he doubted the training methods of the Griffin Knights. After all, the Griffin Knights were the royal guard of the Pendor royal family in the past.
, the strength can stand the test.
It's just that they are trained from childhood, and only after they reach adulthood and pass the assessment, they can be considered as formal members of the Knights. The requirements are very high, and the combat effectiveness of the formal knights is relatively stable, and Allen's subordinates are already adults.
Well, it's actually a little late to start training now. If he can increase his physical fitness to some extent, Allen thinks it will be enough.
And with the start of training, Allen also needs to purchase a large amount of auxiliary materials in Pende Continent. Some of the meat can be replaced. After all, the animal husbandry in Muma Village and the breeding industry in Wilderness Town have already reached a certain scale.
It is still possible to provide some meat, but some other supplies require Allen to spend dinars to purchase them specifically in the simulator, such as a special herb for bathing.
According to his younger brother, in the continent of Pendor, every prestigious knighthood has its own method of improving physical fitness, even the Ebony Knights, which is not popular with most people, is no exception, and those who cultivate the national fighting machine are no exception.
The training ground also has an effective method, but it is cheaper and less effective.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although the details of each method are different, the basic principles are similar. They all use food to supplement nutrients, special training methods to absorb nutrients to increase strength, and then use drug treatment for training.
The hidden injuries caused by it can continuously improve physical fitness. Of course, fighting skills can only be improved through constant sparring and fighting.
Not all training methods have side effects. Under the emphasis of his younger brother, Allen learned that there is a kind of soldier in the empire called the Imperial Gladiator. Their training method focuses on improving the explosive power of the soldiers, but it greatly reduces their physical recovery.
Speed and longevity mean that these imperial two-handed swordsmen, known as mad dogs, can only fight wearing extremely light leather armor on the battlefield. In addition, some people do not even wear helmets in order not to waste their physical strength. It can be said that
It is an extremely powerful unit.
The training method of the gryphon knight is very balanced and has no side effects. It is just that you need to strictly follow the requirements. You cannot save any dinars that should not be spared. But the advantage is that once the knight is formed, it will not cost as much as training.
Well, in order to maintain a strong combat effectiveness in the later period, their cost is only slightly higher than that of the Swadia Knights.
In addition to allowing the existing cavalry to be trained in the direction of the gryphon knights, Allen also issued a decree to recruit cavalry apprentices. Any boy between the ages of eight and fifteen can sign up, regardless of gender.
The recruitment of little girls is not because Allen thinks that in this era and environment of Middle-earth, women can hold up half the sky. Allen still prefers to let men face the cruel frontal battlefield.
It's just that in Middle-earth, the physical fitness of human beings is indeed much better than that of the people in his hometown. Women can also exert extremely high combat effectiveness after receiving some military training. The Dongyi people have done a good job for Allen.

Moreover, when Allen recruits little girls, he does not want them to be shock cavalry or line-resistance infantry. After all, in addition to the training methods of gryphon knights, he also has rangers such as Horimion who focus on mounted shooting.
It's not that the Twilight Knights can't be used as shock cavalry. Their physical fitness and powerful combat effectiveness are far superior to ordinary people. Coupled with the elf horses with armor and stomach, they can attack the infantry phalanx without any hesitation.
It can cause a lot of damage to enemies in a very short period of time.
It's just that they have been fighting against Jatu all year round, and they prefer to rely on superb equestrian skills and precise archery skills to deal fatal blows to the enemy. The sparse elves are actually unwilling to choose to confront the enemy head-on most of the time, especially those who are keen on pigs.
Tactics of the Jatu.
In this regard, Allen feels that it is very suitable for girls. Hermione's simplified training method cannot bring much improvement to physical fitness, because these Noldor elves are naturally very powerful, and with different bloodlines
, and as they age, their strength will become stronger and stronger.
If we use data to represent physical fitness, the average Swadia knight is around 20 points, and the fully formed Griffin knight can reach 40 to 50 points. This also depends on the individual's talent.
Elf nobles like Lisa Dilan can reach at least 60 points, ordinary Twilight Knights can easily exceed 80 points, and elites like Hermione can definitely exceed 100 points.
Even so, Horimion is not the ceiling of Pendor's combat power. Elf clan leaders like Aldaria and Yinsi Landil, as well as the murderous man known as "Uncle Wolf" who Allen has personally faced
Wolfbird's physical fitness must be at least 150 points, and their combat effectiveness has reached the level of a demigod.
As for Allen himself, after many times of strengthening, he is at most on par with the average Twilight Knight. This is just talking about physical fitness. In terms of combat skills, even after receiving special training in Ailak for a period of time,
Allen is not as powerful as his own bodyguard.
Therefore, elves who are born with strong abilities have developed meditation methods after a long period of time, focusing more on improving their horse-control skills and shooting accuracy. It is very suitable for rangers who spend most of their time conducting reconnaissance or harassment.
Girls who are originally in good physical condition are completely qualified for this part of the job after training, and there is already a successful precedent in Wilderness Town. Allen's maid Alice, after a year of training, is already able to ride on a horse.
It has a decent shape, and its combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of Kujit cavalry archers, but she cannot pull a too heavy hard bow, so Allen needs to prepare a soft bow with a relatively short range for them.
Allen's original plan was to directly equip them with an ebony sniper demon, a weapon that can continuously fire seven crossbows with one load, which seems to be more suitable for these women. However, this kind of repeating crossbow from the Pendor continent, now I want to
Large-scale assembly requires a large amount of mithril, which Allen does not have.
As for ebony, which is also an extremely precious material in the Pendor continent, Allen cannot yet purchase it through the simulator. He reckons that he will need to wait until he becomes a lord and establishes a related knight's chapel, such as the Griffin Knight.
The standard equipment includes melee weapons such as ebony swords.
Of course, Allen can also contact the dwarves in the Lonely Mountain to recover Moria, which is still occupied by the orcs, and obtain a large amount of mithril from there, but it is a bit unrealistic now. If it is just the orcs, that's it.
Now they are grasshoppers after the fall, and they cannot afford to make any big waves, but the Balrog is still entrenched there, and Allen has no good way to deal with him. He can't force Gandalf to upgrade now.
Not to mention that Allen simply cannot make such a request to his friend, the possibility of Gandalf agreeing is extremely small. After all, the gray robe wizard has a clear understanding of his combat effectiveness. Unless he is forced to, he will not
Putting himself in that irreversible situation, after seeing the Balrog, running was Maiya's first choice.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Therefore, Allen feels that it is better to consider the missing things in the long term, but this is just a matter, and it does not prevent him from working hard in a better direction.
Regarding his own cavalry regiment, Allen's current thoughts are very simple. The male shock cavalry trained according to the style of the Griffin Knight will be the final winner on the frontal battlefield, while the female guerrilla cavalry trained according to the simplified version of the Twilight Knight will
to complete most of the reconnaissance and harassment work.
The order of recruitment is the Kugits, Swadians, and Rhodoks first, followed by the natives of Middle-earth. Currently, the only soldiers that the simulator can recognize are summoned territorial citizens, and Allen can spend them.
With a certain reputation, recruit them as soldiers, so that the simulator will have certain constraints on these people. Correspondingly, they will also be boosted by James's super high medical skills, making it easier to survive after being injured on the battlefield.
.
The citizens of Middle-earth cannot obtain this bonus, so for the more dangerous shock cavalry, Allen prefers to recruit the descendants of those who are summoned. However, in the decree issued by Allen, a voluntary statement was made
, there must be no forced behavior.
It's just that in order to form this cavalry unit, Allen has made preparations to entrust a large area of eastern Rovanian. As long as these cavalry are formed and make contributions on the battlefield, they will immediately become the number one under Allen's command.
After all, there is a large dark forest between the manor owners, and Allen cannot effectively control it. It is a very reasonable approach to enfeoff them, and among these cavalry, it will be easier to give birth to nobles with higher status to manage for Allen.
There is a vast land and a large number of people there.
Such rewards are too tempting for young people who want to make contributions. Many soldiers in service ask people to ask Allen if they are willing to try the possibility of joining the cavalry regiment.
Lun did not refuse. The wider the group the ascending channel faced, the better. It would not only be beneficial to his own rule, but also be able to find more talents.
In this way, the selection of members of the Cavalry Regiment started vigorously. Many soldiers stationed in Long Lake Town and Heidelberg returned to Wilderness Town to participate in this event. Anyway, Allen only wanted the best, and he must not be older than twenty-five.
Years old. If you are too old, the results of training will be greatly reduced. On the other hand, after training, people will be old, and the service time will be too short for Allen's investment.
Originally, Allen thought that he could successfully handle this matter and witness the emergence of a thousand reserve cavalry. However, a team of elves from Lothlórien very politely brought Galad to Allen.
Mrs. Riel's message.
The most powerful elf in Middle-earth hopes that Allen can take the loot in Lake Town and go to Lothlórien as soon as possible to attend the meeting held by the White Council. He also said that Allen's good friend, Gandalf, has already
We are waiting for Alan's arrival in Karaskarazon.
This invitation directly disrupted Allen's plan, after all, he was not ready to face Saruman.
