Chapter 551 Heavy Armored Cavalry-Shock from the Savages
"Ah, this..."
After hearing what happened, Danik couldn't help but have a weird expression on his face.
At first, I thought it was a conflict between the unruly savages and the caravan, but I never thought that they were fighting among themselves.
Then he also thought about the information he got from the previous conversation. The savages were not monolithic, probably similar to the nobles in their own family.
But I didn’t expect that they would kill whenever they asked, and they would not be merciful at all...
And those guys who killed a squad leader left in despair after being let go, and didn't even come to him to complain and ask for punishment.
It should be some of their internal handling methods.
"Okay, I don't want to interfere with your savages' own situation, but in my town, killing people on the street is not allowed. If you have any problems, you can come to us for arbitration."
Danik said with a little headache.
As the lord of Darnic Town, of course he also has the important responsibility of maintaining law and order, but at this time, it is okay to turn a blind eye.
"We are the ones causing trouble this time, I'm really sorry."
Kangaroo's father also lowered his attitude in front of Danik at this time, so as not to lose his favor because of the murder.
"Since your caravan will arrive tomorrow at the latest, I will accompany you after a little rest."
Danik pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"It's our pleasure."
Lu Yi now understands some of the ways to deal with this group of nobles, and read some books when he went back...
……
"Fireball, right? Two fireballs? Although it's just an apprentice, it's really strong, not as lame as releasing language proficiency."
Darnic bumped heads with the two leaders of the demi-human caravan. They were both under Count Luke, and they had a pretty good relationship.
From here we also get a separate perspective.
Fireball is a spell that can be used by everyone from apprentices to legends. It is one of the most cost-effective attack spells.
From the traces of previous explosions and the simultaneous launch of two fireballs, Darnik also made a prediction. If he didn't wear armor and only relied on breathing to induce magic disturbance, he might not be able to resist!
The best way is to kill the opponent while they are casting spells.
If you are not a formal mage, if you do not engrave the model in advance and do not perform instantaneous attacks, you can still be sure of using a bow and throwing a short spear yourself.
But once you are entangled, you can only find a way to use speed to get rid of the mental lock of the fireball technique, and then follow the direction of the fireball explosion and rely on breathing techniques to resist.
After all, he is also a knight. After a quick simulation in his mind, he nodded and said
"Then you mean they pointed those sticks at the guys who fell to the ground and they didn't dare to move?"
This is also an area that Danik pays close attention to.
Every savage will carry such a stick, and he is actually very curious.
But most of them regard it as their totem.
After all, it doesn't look very strong.
But now it seems like this is a weapon?
"I felt slight fluctuations in magic power, probably for reinforcement, and then there was a bit of fire magic power, but I'm not sure what the specific situation was. They didn't launch an attack."
Murphy is an experienced apprentice. At least with Baron Darnic's background, it would be difficult to hire such an apprentice as a consultant.
"Reinforcement, flame..."
Darnick murmured, and a scene of savages pointing sticks at each other like wands and spitting fire appeared in his mind.
But I don’t care about that much now. I wonder if the so-called caravan will bring some when they come this time. If it’s not expensive, I can buy one and come back to study it.
"I will follow you there with my own soldiers, but we can't let the savages look down on us."
Danik then smiled at Jia Nan and said.
"All riding horses?"
Tiger Captain King Kong also grinned at this time.
When a war horse is dispatched, it will cost a lot of money to make up for lost fat. The war horse itself is actually very easy to be injured when carrying heavy armored cavalry, and it is very valuable.
Don't look at the fact that Darnik only has fifty elite soldiers, but the cost is much greater than the escort of their caravan.
Except for his own magic pig, most of the people who have mounts are also pack horses.
Not to mention the heavy armor, it would be difficult for the men carrying his weapons to charge forward.
"They all ride horses! After raising them for so long, they have to come out and see the world."
Danik laughed, still feeling a sense of accomplishment for the elite soldiers under his command.
Although there were only fifty people and a lot of money was spent, the effect was absolutely outstanding.
With these fifty cavalry serving as sharp swords and supporting the militia, it would not be a big problem to break up a mob of a thousand people.
Even twenty professional level players can fight head-on!
But of course, such valuable elite soldiers must not be wasted casually. It would cost too much time and money, and they would not be able to fight a few hard battles. Deterrence and protection should be the main thing.
The rebels kept sending letters to persuade me, which was actually because they took a fancy to this power.
Of course, the power mainly used for deterrence must be displayed when necessary!
When the savage caravan arrived, it was exactly what needed to be shown!
Lest these savages remain lawless...
I, Baron Darnic, am easy to talk to. That’s just because I’m approachable, not because I don’t have power in my hands!
The power of deterrence does not have to be used, but it must be there!
……
"It's coming, right in front."
At dawn the next morning, Lu Yi and the others received news from Master Qin's caravan, and then they rushed towards the edge of the Warcraft Forest with Baron Darnic and the demihuman caravan.
Fifty heavy cavalry are arrayed, and the visual effect is quite impressive.
"Yesterday I saw a dozen cavalry and they felt quite powerful. Now I see so many of them, they are even more handsome."
"Full body armor! We also need to build full body armor! Animal skins are too cheap and embarrassing."
"Wait for rich people like Mr. Qin."
"..."
This is the first meeting between the savage caravan and the indigenous forces. There are still many people watching the live broadcast, including the caravan's perspective and Lu Yi's perspective.
I saw Baron Darnic leading his fifty heavily armored cavalry to stop two hundred steps in front of the forest in perfect order.
The heavy armor of the knight and the armor of the war horse bloomed with silver brilliance under the newly rising sun, giving off a steely atmosphere.
In addition to the heavy carriages and merchants who stopped in the town to unload the demihuman caravan, the Tiger Guards also came over.
Although the packhorse of the Khajiit Guards itself is a bit stretched, the tall and mighty Khajiit guards make up for these deficiencies to a certain extent in terms of appearance. In addition, the magic pig ridden by Khajiit Captain King Kong is also present. Very outstanding.
It was much larger than the thousand-pound demon pig that Dali's team killed back then. It had sharp fangs and hair that was combed black and shiny like spikes. It hummed and exhaled hot breath from time to time.
It can be said that this time is the time to show their strength to some extent.
Looking at the forest path ahead that was formed by hunters and adventurers coming in and out for a long time, Danik also smiled at Lu Yi and asked
"Didn't you say that they have already arrived on the road opened by the adventurers? The speed is a bit slow."
Next to him, Murphy also took a step forward on his horse and asked
"Do you communicate through magical communication?"
"Yes, we have a special communication method within the clan."
Lu Yi first responded to Murphy. After all, this old man with an immortal spirit was a master mage outside, and he was probably very powerful.
Thinking of the scene where the equally old Zhabo used the special effects of the Archmage's strength, Lu Yi still felt a sense of awe of power.
Then he said to Baron Darnic
"Your Excellency Baron, they have indeed arrived at this forest path formed by long-term access, but because this path is too narrow, they took time to widen it."
Hearing this, Danik, Jianan, King Kong, Murphy and others all had expressions of surprise and surprise on their faces at the same time.
Isn't it?
Originally, in their opinion, that trade road was not as good as this trodden path. Even if it could barely be distinguished in the forest, it would be considered good!
But what are they talking about?
Too narrow?
"This..."
Before Baron Darnic could say anything else, his middle-level knight-level strength first felt something was wrong.
The ground is shaking!
At first, he thought it was because his cavalry horses occasionally stepped on their hooves, or maybe it was caused by the Tiger Guards.
But as he continued to get closer, he discovered that the source of the vibration was in the forest!
Chapter 849
"There is movement over there, is it your caravan?"
King Kong, the leader of the tiger men, also came over on a magic pig at this time, looking a little solemn.
The demon pig under his butt was scratching its trotters uneasily, seeming a little irritated, and spraying hot air from its mouth from time to time.
Some soil was dug out of the ground.
"Yes, it's a fire beast that transports goods."
Lu Yi seemed to know what they were paying attention to, and then looked back with some surprise at the uniform cavalry and Tiger Guards, and couldn't help but think about it in hindsight.
Could it be that the reason why these people came to welcome our caravan in such a big way was not just out of enthusiasm?
Is there another kind of demonstration going on inside?
Not only Lu Yi reacted, but also some players who were watching the live broadcast also reacted.
"Hey, look at their expressions, they seem quite surprised."
"Did you not believe that we could open a trade route in the Warcraft Forest at first?"
"They're not here to demonstrate, are they?"
"Haha, it's really possible! After all, unlike us, they can see the situation on both sides in real time. With this kind of information difference, they have a blind eye on our caravan."
"They don't know what we know for granted..."
“What a joy.”
“I really want to see their expressions when the time comes!”
"You'll see it soon!"
"..."
As the horses of Danik's cavalry also showed uneasiness, they began to become restless.
The packhorses of the tiger guards were so weak that they fell to the ground.
The vibrations on the ground became more and more obvious.
Then there was the sound of trees falling down.
Just like a herd of wild elephants knocking down the trees in the rainforest, the fallen trees kept separating, revealing the figures of the large number of flaming dogs behind them!
Even though he paid a fee to wash away the aura of the abyss monsters during the teleportation, his appearance was slightly 'beautified'.
But each of these giant beasts like a triceratops exceeds the size of the demon pig under King Kong's crotch.
Although he looks a little dull and honest, the sharp horns on the top of his head and the sharp teeth in his mouth also show everyone that these things are not vegetarian!
Qin Xiang was also watching the interaction on the forum and saw someone carrying some screenshots of the live broadcast and some text guessing.
Leaving the jungle, he raised his hand to block the rising sun, glanced at the welcoming team in front, and couldn't help but reveal a smile.
"Brothers, we have to let them feel the enthusiasm of our savages..."
As his voice fell, there was a sharp pull on the reins.
Then, under the leadership of the most burly Flame Dog under his command, the forty-eight Flame Dogs looked up to the sky and let out a low and thick roar.
Roar~
A deafening roar filled the sky, and the sound seemed to shake the earth. The roar could be heard in the town!
The wild beast-like aura erupted, and every Warcraft-level flaming dog sounded together. Even the well-trained war horses under the command of the fifty elite soldiers began to tremble and retreat.
King Kong's demon pig also kept clawing its hooves, humming and leading its master back.
Slowly giving way to a wider open space.
They originally came here to demonstrate, but after seeing the Flame Dog caravan coming out one after another, as well as our own team, whose morale collapsed.
Baron Darnic looked around, only to find that his side seemed to completely set off this extraordinary barbarian caravan!
There are dozens of giant beasts, each of which has Warcraft-level strength. From the perspective of an intermediate knight of Darnic, it seems that any one of them would be enough to give him a headache!
But from the looks of them, they can actually pull goods docilely?
A shed built directly on the back with wooden supports. This structure may fall apart if the Warcraft disobeys and moves a little too much!
Being so powerful, yet so docile and obedient, taming so many at once?
How is this possible!
Darnik's own precious war horse was already expensive to buy, and even more expensive to raise. It was always his heart and soul. He usually used a pack horse to make up for many exercises, just for fear of hurting the war horse during practice.
War horses are usually fed by their owners so that they can develop good feelings.
This had already cost him a lot of energy, and it was something he was proud of.
But looking back, the savages pulled out forty-eight large monsters capable of transporting goods!
This is simply incredible...
There are many people who can train Warcraft as mounts. The most famous one on the East Plains is the dragon knight Yidai Wang, which is a flying dragon passed down from their ancestors.
There is also King Kong who has tamed the monster boar in front of him.
But generally speaking, these are exceptions.
There are currently forces trying to tame Warcraft and equip them into armies in batches, but each one is at the imperial level, and the corresponding Warcraft Knights trained are definitely the core of the core.
Familiar teams such as the Wolf Cavalry, the Wild Boar Knights, and the Griffin Knights each have a prestigious reputation, and they have forged their glory with blood and achievements.
But now...
In a caravan brought out by the savage tribe, dozens of domesticated monsters appeared.
This really made Danik feel uneasy and shocked.
This kind of impact is even greater than the impact of the Savage Tribe having a hero level and killing the Flame Bird.
The Heroic Kingdom of Keton has one, and the Blazing Earl who can repel the Blazing Bird is no ordinary person.
The strongest force in the Principality of Keton is their Royal Knights of Keton, with a total of five thousand. Their individual strength is stronger than the elite soldiers they train, but it is not much stronger. It mainly relies on the number of five thousand. There are also one hundred professional-level team captains to intimidate them.
Typical World of Warcraft is not enough for people.
The King of Idai, who is currently known as the strongest man in the East Plains of the Idai Kingdom, used the dragon power of his flying dragon mount to create a bipedal flying dragon guard, but the total number was only thirty, just because it was a flying unit. , so it also has a certain strategic role.
The Federation of Calais is said to have researched and hybridized with their local barbarian tribes to create a more docile magic wolf that can be kept in captivity. However, it has been still under experiment and is only used on a small scale now. It seems that the offspring of the multiplication will easily fall into the ranks. , currently relying on Calais's strong economic strength and the number of mages to overcome the problem.
The one that has recently been deployed on a large scale should be the 30,000 giant bear army of the Ferro Empire in the northern part of the Calais Federation!
It was a huge empire with a legendary swordsman who protected the country, and was once the suzerain of the Calais Federation.
There is a qualitative change between the heroic level and the professional level, because the heroic level is not easy to be surrounded and killed, and can break out of the encirclement of the army.
But if it is this kind of Warcraft Knights, it is enough to cooperate with the siege and kill the hero class!
Hero-level strong men are also human beings, and they will die if they are killed.
Moreover, the effect of this kind of group combat charge on the frontal battlefield and the blow to morale cannot be reversed by a few heroes.
It is true that there are only a few dozen savages present. Although this number is shocking, it is not unacceptable.
But the problem is, the savages opened up trade routes and easily came up with this kind of lineup.
Judging from the docile appearance of these things, it is obvious that they are not just domesticated. I am afraid they already have a complete domestication industry!
Even in those familiar and mature Warcraft Knights, there are often situations where some mounts backfire. Warcraft is Warcraft after all, and there will still be a certain degree of danger if you want to maintain your wildness and strength.
But in front of him, this docile big man who could work hard and clear a path in the forest, with the wooden frame on his back not falling apart, really made Danik's mouth water.
What a great mount!
Even though due to its docile personality, it may be slightly lacking when charging, its huge size and sufficient strength can easily make up for this shortcoming!
The most important thing about cavalry is coordination and formation. After the mount reaches the standard, obedience can be said to be a very important factor.
Otherwise, with its strong financial resources, the Calais Federation could form a miscellaneous army of Warcraft Knights, specifically hiring riders like King Kong who have domesticated Warcraft.
But obviously that kind of uncooperative team may have a situation where 1+1 is less than 2...
The update is complete and normal updates should resume tomorrow...
