Iron Armor reflected the cold light, horse hooves stepped on the mud, and white smoke spread in the sun. Hundreds of Knight Order galloped and charged on the plain.
For the dozens of Knight and Landen who have just transitioned from the status of miners, we do not expect them to return to their previous level as soon as they get on the horse. They can only train and find the feeling.
In order to promote the training effect, Landen rides Blaze and leads the team in person. With Blaze in front, all Black-Scaled Horse will be more obedient.
Fortunately, Knights, as Mana-Wielders, have been through strict training since childhood, and they can indeed regain many skills quickly.
In the afternoon after Landen finished his speech, Knight were assigned horses, armor and weapons. In the afternoon, they could only get on the horses for riding adaptation training. After all, Black-Scaled Horse was considered a rare commodity in the Human Race inland, and most of the war horses that Knight had ridden before had not reached the level of Black-Scaled Horse.
For most of the training knights, the first afternoon of black-scaled horse riding training was not smooth, except for a few intermediate knights who were able to control the horses quickly with their strength; Mace Frostwolf was assigned to a black-scaled horse trained by Neil and rode on it. After that, the horses were quite obedient. After the other junior knights and knight apprentices got on their horses, most of them could only ensure that they would not be thrown off. Of course, there were a few who were kicked by the black-scaled horses under their crotches, and some even chased the horses for several hundred meters without even getting up.
Finally, Landen rode Blaze over. Under the intimidation of Blaze, all the Black-Scaled Horse obeyed, and Knight Order finally got on the horse and were able to form a team and run together for several kilometers.
After the adaptive training, most Salt Mine and Knight chose to comb, wipe and feed the horses themselves to get close to their horses and make future riding smoother.
On the second day, Landen knew that he had to train with Knight Order throughout the whole process, and after yesterday afternoon, the Knights also roughly figured out the temperament of their black partners. Therefore, the entire training has been greatly improved. Not only can they line up as a whole, several Intermediate Knights can already lead their own teams to train individually.
Landen handed Raul to him, "What do you think of our Knight Order?"
"It's very good. As far as I know, Knight Order can support 100 people Black-Scaled Horse and Iron Armor. In our Dragon Kingdom, only a few Duke have such strength." Raul is very satisfied with the team in front of him.
"Those Count Marquis ones, do you have High-Rank Knight or Archmage at home?"
"That's natural. For a Knight Order team of 50 people, the team leader usually needs Senior Knight; if there are more than 50 people, a team leader of Great Knight or more is needed; if there are 100 people, a team leader of Silver Knight or more is needed. We are now a hundred-man team, and there should be at least one Great Knight."
The powerful Knight not only adds high-end combat power to Knight Order, but also High-Rank Knight can connect Battle Qi to Magic Web, and use Magic Web to mobilize the Battle Qi of the entire Knight Order, thus forming the entire Knight Order into a whole.
Knight Order led by Senior Knight or above will have 1-2 group skills, which condense the entire Knight Order and Battle Qi into a lethal move or defensive cover. The power of group skills is far greater than that of High-Rank The maximum power that Knight can exert can even stir and shatter the magic elements in the air, causing the magical effects of the Low-Rank magic Mage to be dispersed.
"But Knight Order's group skills cannot be used on our Gallop Plains. The Magic Turbulence on the entire plain makes the group skills and High-Rank The power of Mage, Knight, and Priest cannot be fully exerted. Competing strength on Gallop Plains relies on the number of cavalry and Knight.
This situation continues from Gallop Plains to Northwest Count Territory west of Bristle-Wolf City."
Landen understands what Raul means. In Magic Turbulence's environment, Knight Order's number of people and equipment are the greatest guarantee of combat effectiveness. Knight Order of Landen has good equipment, good horses, and many people. Even Bristle-Wolf Knights has to concede three points when 200 people are gathered together.
But what Landen has to face is the Barbarian Cavalry team put together by the Grey Goose Tribe. Their number is equal to the total number of their own cavalry. Although Landen It is claimed that only the remnants of the Grey Goose Tribe are left, but Landen himself knows that what is left of Gray Goose are the elites of all the tribes south of the Gallop River.
With the same number of people and similar equipment, the only advantage he can claim now is the overall buff that Blaze brings to his entire horse group.
"Our existing Knight still may not have an absolute advantage against the main force of Gray Goose. We need to find a reserve team of 150 people from the current Mana-Wielder."
"150 people?"
"Yes, we might be able to get some Black-Scaled Horse on our way south. Let them practice with the beasts of burden first, and let them replace them with Black-Scaled Horse once they become available."
Landen's request was implemented on the same day, and Barbarian, the original Bull Tribe, selected 50 pack animals that could be used for riding and 150 pack animals that were suitable for carrying heavy loads.
On the morning of the third day of training, Landen used the early morning time to conduct the last formation joint training. The main content of the joint training was that the three main teams of Knight Order charged head-on, and the two cavalry teams acted as two wings to outflank. The 150 Mana-Wielder temporarily selected the night before rode pack animals and followed the front-charging team together with the Knight Order reserve squadron.
The main task of Neil's reconnaissance team is to go around to the rear of the target area to intercept the opponent's personnel who may be escaping.
Neil and his cronies Big Stone looked at the hillside in the distance. After more than 70 Knight from the main squadron rushed down, the 180 reserve team behind them slowly reached the mountainside.
Within the first 100-200 meters of the charge, the reserve team and the main squadron basically formed a whole square formation. However, as the charge time became longer, Black-Scaled Horse and the beasts of burden increased their speed, and a complete The whole square formation gradually turned into two square formations, and then the main squadron riding Black-Scaled Horse moved closer and closer to the front. After another 500 meters forward, the front square formation was about 200 meters away from the reserve team behind.
"Brother, isn't this a frontal charging phalanx? Why did it become two teams?"
"There is nothing we can do. The speed between Black-Scaled Horse and the beast of burden is so great. Even the beast of burden raised by the Bull Tribe cannot keep up with Black-Scaled Horse."
"Can this team of 75 cavalrymen confront Gray Goose's more than 200 cavalrymen?"
"This is not a decisive battle with Gray Goose," Neil said categorically. "The training now is just for the formation coordination between several squadrons, and it is impossible for more than 70 cavalry to attack a team of 200 people.
In the real decisive battle, all of us riding Black-Scaled Horse will ride together, we have the advantage in terms of numbers."
"Oh, that's it" Big Stone thought thoughtfully.
Although he expressed his belief in victory to his cronies, Neil knew that even if there were three Knight squadrons, two cavalry squadrons, and Neil, Greyhound The total number of teams combined is only equivalent to the total number of Gray Goose's current main players. There is no guarantee of victory. The real victory may require a duel between Landen and Gray Goose Leader.
After the first joint training, Landen and Raul also discovered problems during the joint training. The distance between the main force and the reserve phalanx was too large, the cavalry on both wings did not coordinate well with the main phalanx, and messenger cavalry needed to be set up to coordinate between several teams.
So Landen conducted joint training again. In the second joint training, the main Knight squadron, two cavalry teams, and a reconnaissance team with more than 200 cavalry formed a unified square formation, with 40 cavalry in the front. A total of 5 rows jogged first, then ran fast, and finally charged forward about 500 meters.
After the second round of joint training, Landen finally felt that it was a bit like the cavalry charge in the game in the previous life. However, the formations were similar. It was already very difficult to keep multiple people riding at the same speed while riding on the horse. Without Blaze to coordinate the overall horse group, it would have been impossible to charge in just 2 days of practice.
However, Landen has no time now. Whether it is due to weather or food reasons, he needs to go south as soon as possible. He can only train while moving forward.
