Picking Up Girls Got Someone Killed

Watching the Puma cavalry he had worked so hard to build get slaughtered like pigs and sheep by Solam's subordinates made Marco's heart bleed!

Indeed, cavalry was far less useful than knights! But they were still cavalry! They had four legs! His goal was to expand his territory within Amn, not fight a national war against someone else! Cavalry was absolutely enough!

The territories around Crimmor had nothing like knightly orders. At most, they had knight vassals under noble lords! The cavalry's main purpose was simply to deal with the infantry under those lords! How many elite infantrymen could a bunch of traditional noble lords possibly have? Weren't they mainly made up of levies and serf soldiers? A single cavalry unit of his could utterly crush those trash!

Once his territory expanded, more knights would naturally come to pledge themselves to him! After all, he had fiefs to offer! Thus, these Puma cavalrymen were extremely important to Marco's early plans! And even setting aside their combat strength, the economic benefits they could bring were not something Marco could ignore!

One had to know that Marco's most profitable business right now was trade with the Puma Tribe and the wild elves! Although the Puma Tribe did not produce many heavy warhorses, even ordinary warhorses were tremendously valuable! Every year, Marco earned over a hundred thousand gold coins just by exchanging daily necessities for warhorses with the Puma Tribe!

If Puma warriors suffered heavy casualties in his territory, it would seriously affect his trade with the Puma Tribe!

So when he saw the Puma warriors being massacred, Marco could no longer be bothered with placating Solam through political means. He could not stand by and watch those warriors die at Solam's hands!

"Quick! Kill them! Hurry! Kill them!" All Marco wanted now
