Building workshops, forging weapons and equipment—this was the first step in Charles's development.
Even if they could not yet make fine equipment, they at least had to become self-sufficient in ordinary soldiers' gear.
After a battle, aside from casualties among the soldiers, the losses in ordinary weapons and equipment were also considerable.
When ordinary soldiers were physically inferior to orcs, they had to make up for it with equipment.
At the same time, Charles vigorously promoted breathing techniques.
He did not spread the Knight Breathing Technique from Isata, even though those techniques were more effective.
But that also meant they were more likely to expose him.
Charles optimized several relatively well-known breathing techniques passed down in Osela before distributing them.
This gave the soldiers better results in their training.
At the same time, Charles selected elites from the cavalry and began transforming them into armored cavalry.
The days passed one by one, and the power in Charles's hands continued to grow.
Armored cavalry was the strongest force under Charles's command.
If war broke out with the Giants or the elves in the future, they would be a decisive force. No matter how many there were, it would never be too many.
Thus, reducing production costs was Charles's highest priority right now.
The previous first batch of twenty armored cavalrymen had used many high-value materials, allowing them to grow faster.
By the second batch, Charles was no longer in such a rush. He stretched out the process a little and used somewhat inferior materials.
Now, Charles needed to consider cost-effectiveness.
Previously, a complete set for one armored cavalryman had cost around twelve thousand Magic Stones.
After optimization, the expenditure for one armored cavalryman was now only around ten thousand Magic Stones.
