Chapter 149: Combination of Light and Heavy Cavalry
Of course Shen Mu didn't care about what Resarit and Bestur thought at all.
This world is inherently cruel.
Now he is more concerned about the defense of Xinriwading and how to deal with the devil troops that may emerge at any time in the subway station in Sujia Village.
These are all top priorities for him!
Return to the main village house in New Rivadin.
"Open all the rewards I have."
A dialog box appeared again in Shen Mu's thought communication system.
[Your current rewards——]
【①Random village × 1.】
【②Gold-level treasure chests × 5.】
【③5 Silver-level treasure chests.】
【④10 points of faith.】
【⑤1 dinars. 】
Then, the new dialog box content began to refresh on Shen Mu’s retina.
It was the bonus item he now had.
"1 dinars, 10 points of faith, and 1 random village."
Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly: "There are also 5 gold-level treasure chests and 5 silver-level treasure chests."
This is a great harvest.
1 dinars, 10 faith points and 5 gold-level treasure chests were the rewards he received after completing the temporary task.
After all, after analyzing the mark of the spirit world lord who possesses the rules of hell, one should indeed gain some good things.
But I didn't expect that 5 gold-level treasure chests would come crashing down at me.
The gold-level treasure chest contains items related to the power of rules.
The five silver treasure chests are rewards given by the system after evaluation after completing the battles during the mission.
Should also be a good army-related or town-related reward.
And that random village.
The main purpose was to analyze the core mark of the lord of the Orc tribe, and the final reward given had not yet been opened by Shen Mu.
Now it's time to open it.
"Then open them all!"
Shen Mu's mind immediately communicated with the Mount and Blade system.
It immediately appeared in his mind.
'Om! '
A special power of Mount and Blade rules began to permeate, and from the depths of his mind, bursts of colorful light emerged.
It directly turned into a dialog box in front of him, and the content was constantly refreshing.
[You opened a silver-level treasure chest and received the following rewards——]
【①10000 dinars. 】
[② Stone Arrow Tower × 4 (Introduction: 7-meter-high stone arrow tower, the arrow tower part can accommodate long-range archers, and the top can be placed with city defense equipment.)]
[③ Light crossbow × 2 (Introduction: Light crossbow, can shoot sharp spears to attack the enemy, effective range 200 meters.)]
[④ Light catapult × 2. (Introduction: Light catapult, capable of throwing balls or scattered stones, with an effective range of 150 meters.)]
[⑤ Swadian military rations x 10 carts. (Introduction: There are 10 carts full of military rations, which are full of black bread, air-dried meat, sausages, smoked fish, and long-lasting onions, carrots, and cabbages, and of course 10 bags of precious salt.)]
The first ones to be opened are the 5 silver-level treasure chests.
"That's not bad."
Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared on his face as he looked at the treasure chest reward.
1 dinars comes second.
The key is the four stone arrow towers, which can directly serve as a defensive aid for the new Riwadin.
Plus two light ballistas and two light catapults.
It can be combined with these four stone arrow towers to form a sharp city defense effect in a short time!
Moreover, the two light crossbows were already known in advance during the defense of Dehrim.
This is the first time I have seen those two light catapults.
But if you think about it, you can understand that throwing individual balls or scattered stones for defense should be an attack mode of single-target killing and group-range killing.
Shen Mu had also seen this in movies and TV dramas in his previous life.
"Then open the other golden treasure chests!"
Shen Mu's thoughts at this time communicated with the system again.
The new dialog box is refreshed again.
[You opened the gold-level treasure chest and received the following rewards——]
[① Mithril Enchanting Scroll x 5. (Introduction: This scroll can enchant the power of mithril into weapons, making them tougher and sharper after use, and producing a 200% killing effect against evil.)]
[② Stone Wall Upgrade Scroll × 1. (Introduction: After using this scroll, your existing wall will be upgraded immediately. The upgrade will produce a stone wall 6 meters high and 2 meters wide.)]
[③1 Wikia Deep Well (civilian building). (Introduction: This is a deep well from the Kingdom of Wikia, which contains abundant cold water.)]
[④ City defense baffles (military buildings) × entire city wall. (Introduction: These are city defense baffles from the Kingdom of Vigia. They are 2 meters high, 3 centimeters thick, and have shooting windows to meet the shooting needs of Vigia archers.)]
[⑤ Refugees from the Kingdom of Vigia x 500 people. (Introduction: There are 500 refugees from the Kingdom of Vigia. They were affected by the war and decided to come to your New Rivadin.)]
"Oh, that's interesting."
Shen Mu looked at the new dialog box and frowned again: "The Mithril Enchanting Scroll can enchant the power of Mithril into the weapon to increase the damage?"
The first thing that caught his attention was the Mithril Enchanted Scroll.
Looking at the introduction above, he was also thoughtful.
As long as the enchantment is applied to a weapon, it will provide toughness and sharpness to the corresponding weapon, and will also increase the damage effect to evil targets by 200%.
At this time, Shen Mu subconsciously turned his head and looked at the Holy Tree Knight Sword that he had placed on the table.
His own Holy Tree Knight Sword is made of the magical material Mithril.
Therefore, it can be considered a very good magic-like weapon as it provides early warning and additional killing effects against any evil that may appear around.
Or maybe this is actually a kind of magic weapon.
But the effect is not as strong as those real magic weapons.
But compared to ordinary weapons, it is definitely more effective.
Now think about why it costs 5 dinars to upgrade the Holy Tree Knight to the 200th level of Holy Tree Knight.
Perhaps it’s because of the equipment of the Holy Tree Knight.
Of course, if we measure the value of this equipment according to the game, it will definitely be more than 10 dinars.
But the rules of Mount and Blade are here.
To upgrade a Mount and Blade soldier, you only need to pay the upgrade fee.
You don't need to pay the value of this equipment.
Now the rules of Mount and Blade have been extended to this Blue Star world, and even maintenance fees do not need to be paid.
It can be regarded as a special help to Shen Mu.
Let’s get back to the topic.
This also means that if Shen Mu wants to obtain these special magic weapons, he will have to pay a lot of dinars.
Because before, he had never thought of equipping his generals with some of these magic weapons.
Now I have made this Mithril Enchanting Scroll.
Still 5.
This way you can enchant 5 weapons with Mithril.
"You can enchant the weapons of the five generals: Bandak, Fatis, Airen, Bestur, and Resarit."
Shen Mu touched his chin and made a decision.
This is an extremely wise choice.
After all, no matter what, he still needs these five generals to fight for him now.
And he is leading the fight on the front line.
Without good weapons, it would obviously not be suitable for the enemies from the evil camps that these generals need to face.
No matter it is an undead monster within the rules of the undead.
Or the abyss demon within the rules of the abyss.
Or it could be the devil of hell in the rules of hell.
Anyway, these are enemies of the evil camp.
Then, once you complete the weapon enchantment, it can be put to use soon.
What's more, he had offended the hell devils in the rules of hell. He was afraid that by tonight, the troops of the hell devils would come to attack his Vikia village, Xinriwadin.
At this time, Shen Mu also looked at the second reward in this golden scroll.
Stone wall upgrade scroll.
"This is a really thoughtful Mount and Blade system. It directly gave me a stone wall with better defensive effects."
Shen Mu nodded with satisfaction.
These were obviously the stone walls in the town of Dehrim, 6 meters high and 2 meters wide.
Coupled with the more thoughtful reward below, the wooden baffle, this new village of Riwadin has obtained sufficient defensive upgrade effects.
A 6-meter-high wall with a -meter-high baffle.
Then there are 300 Vikia archers, powerful level 4 long-range shooters stationed in the village, who can go up to the city wall to provide support at any time.
In addition, there are wooden sentry posts, wooden watchtowers and wooden watchtowers that are still under construction.
Plus four stone towers.
There are also light ballistae and light catapults that can be used with towers.
It can be said that in just a short moment, the city defense of Xinriwading can be upgraded from a weak village level to a town level!
There is also a separate building for people’s livelihood.
A deep well from the Kingdom of Vaegir.
This deep well can provide a steady supply of fresh water to Xinriwading.
Plus the military rations in the previous 10 carriages.
There is food and water.
"Very good, everything is perfect."
Shen Mu smiled and nodded: "And there are 500 Wikia immigrants coming here." This made him feel even more satisfied.
The presence of immigrants means the presence of population.
There are already 300 Vikia archers and 500 Vikia villagers in the Vikia village of New Rivadin.
There were 800 Vaegirs in total.
just now.
Another 500 Vikian immigrants arrived.
The population directly increased to 1300.
This means that the upgrade requirements for the Vikia village have been met - a base of 1000 Vikia people.
It’s time to upgrade this Wikia village, New Rivadin, to the next level!
At this moment, the dialog box in front of Shen Mu was still refreshing.
[Ding! Because your name has spread throughout all the kingdoms on the Calradia continent. Kings, nobles, knights, and commoners have all heard of your deeds and have great respect for you in their hearts.]
[Since you also have a high reputation among the Vikians and already own a village, the nobles from the Vikian Kingdom will discuss replacing the village with a complete castle.]
【Do you choose to accept? 】
[Note: The Swadians would rather use this opportunity to fight for a Swadian village to come to your world, but they were forced to give up due to the strong opposition of King Harlaus. Now in the Kingdom of Swadia, a special trend of thought is slowly growing. It is no longer limited to the nobles, even merchants and civilians have begun to spread a certain special trend of thought. ]
It's the option about random villages.
However, the option for this village now does not directly select a village from a random force.
Instead, it was directly negotiated by the Kingdom of Vigia to be replaced with a complete castle.
This surprised Shen Mu a little.
And he made the decision right away: "Accept it!"
Of course he could accept it.
After all, this was transformed directly from a village into a castle.
From the lowest level civilian village to a military type castle, he no longer needs any additional upgrades.
Xinriwadin was directly transformed into a castle through this choice.
save time and energy.
Moreover, at the critical moment after dark when one may be attacked by the devil from hell at any time, it plays the role of a life-saving straw.
But look at the special note at the end.
"..." Shen Mu was still a little speechless.
Pursed her lips.
He also sighed: "I can only say that he is worthy of being the King of Harlaus."
There are many wise operations in the game. Now that he has come to the real Blue Star world, he is still subject to the wise operations of King Harlaus. He is really speechless.
And look at the so-called thoughts in the special notes.
Shen Mu also subconsciously stretched out his hand and pinched his brow: "Don't you want King Harlaus to step down?"
If he really stepped down, he would have absolutely no objection.
"Forget it, let's just leave it at that." Shen Mu sighed, shook his head, and didn't continue to think about anything else.
Then the mind communicates the system again.
Now it's time for him to use these rewards.
Slowly closed his eyes.
Not only these rewards, but also the special recruitment reward of 10 more soldiers obtained before.
And about the bandit stronghold on the grassland meeting the number requirement and upgrading to a bandit lair.
There is also the upgrade of soldiers after the battle.
Shen Mu needs to do all the operations personally now.
"Then let's get started."
Shen Mu pursed his lips and completely devoted his mind to the Mount and Blade system.
He started the operation himself.
'Om! '
At this moment, right between Shen Mu's eyebrows, streams of white data began to surge.
The power of countless pure Mount and Blade rules began to spread.
Changes began in this new Riwadin.
Extremely drastic changes.
Including the main house of the village where Shen Mu was located, it was also wrapped by those white data and turned into an even larger castle.
And right in front of Shen Mu's retina, dense dialog boxes began to appear.
The content in the dialog box also began to refresh rapidly.
Until all dialog boxes stop.
It's a temporary end.
[Ding! Your Wikia village "New Rivadin" has been successfully upgraded to a 'small castle'. You can now build subsequent castle-related military buildings. ]
[Your 'Stone Wall' has been upgraded. ]
[Your four 'Stone Arrow Towers' have been built. ]
[Your 'Vekia Well' has been deployed. ]
[Your 'city defense baffle' has been installed. ]
[Your 'Grassland Bandit Base' has been successfully upgraded to 'Bandit Lair'. You can now recruit: Tier 3 troops (Grassland Bandit Elites).]
【一批500人的维基亚移民到来了。因为您在维基亚王国中有着+7点传奇声望度，因此一批100人的二阶维基亚轻步兵，也带着那10车军粮以及2架轻型弩炮和2架轻型投石器，一起到来了。】
The dialog box in Shen Mu's eyes refreshed rapidly at this moment.
There is a lot of dense content.
"finished?"
Shen Mu then slowly opened his eyes.
But when Shen Mu opened his eyes again, what appeared before his eyes was not the simple main house of the village.
Instead, it was a spacious castle hall.
He still sat on the main seat that symbolized the lord, with a rectangular hardwood table in front of him.
On both sides of the table, there are 8 hardwood chairs.
It is still the regular layout of the lord's hall.
Shen Mu looked at this small castle which was also built with stones and wood. He was not surprised because he had seen the Rhodok Castle before.
Just looking at it with mild interest, it has a distinctly Wikia-style interior and decoration.
He nodded gently: "Not bad."
After all, this was the Vikia Castle that was given to Shen Mu by the nobles from the Vikia Kingdom after discussion.
Of course there will be obvious Wikia style decoration and decoration.
"Then let's go out and have a look."
Shen Mu was also quite looking forward to it at this time.
So he stood up and walked outside.
Right at the door of the lord's hall, two Holy Tree Knights were standing guard, holding their spears tightly in their hands.
Seeing Shen Mu coming, he bowed respectfully.
"Lord Shen Mu." They spoke respectfully.
"Ah."
Shen Mu nodded in response. And after the two Holy Tree Knights opened the door.
Looking at the terrain in front of us that is obviously higher than other areas, and the platform outside the main building of the castle that has been leveled with bricks and stones, we realized that the owner of this castle was built on the top of the hill where the main house of the village was originally located.
And when I turned my head and looked back.
Shen Mu also saw a two-story castle similar to the Rhodok Castle, but smaller, standing here.
It can also be clearly seen that there are more small designs such as shooting windows, shooting balconies, and shooting towers on this castle.
It is more convenient for long-range shooters to shoot outside.
"It's very convenient for the Vikia archers to enter and defend."
Shen Mu nodded slightly.
At the same time, he turned his head and looked around.
There was also some surprise in his eyes.
Right at the bottom of the hill, surrounding the bottom of the hill, there is a circle of 6-meter-high and 2-meter-wide city wall standing here.
It just surrounds the entire hill of about 1 square meters.
Various castle buildings are located at the bottom and hillside of the hill.
For example, the castle granary, castle armory, castle barracks, as well as prisons, sundry warehouses, feed warehouses, and stables are all available.
Even the Vikia well was placed outside the military camp.
And there is an area outside this castle.
It belongs to the outer area of the castle.
Just outside the hill, there was a piece of flat land.
The outer wall is also surrounded by stone walls, and there are stone arrow towers on the four corners, but the city gate and the watchtowers on both sides are made of wood.
Shen Mu, who had just come to the outer area from the inner gate of the castle, was a little surprised when he saw the stone walls, wooden watchtowers and wooden gates.
But I soon understood it.
"The Vikia Castle, which was upgraded from two Vikia villages, is located directly on this hill. It is a complete castle defense system, and the previous village is still the area within the original wooden wall."
At this time, Shen Mu looked at the wooden city gate and the wooden watchtowers on both sides of the gate, and understood why they were all made of wood.
Because at that time, the wooden wall that I chose to build was equipped with wooden city gates and wooden watchtowers.
Including wooden sentry posts and wooden watchtowers that have not yet been completed.
All of them are built with high-quality wood and are military defense buildings of the village system.
Compared to the castle defense system that he has now upgraded to Vikia Castle and used the wall upgrade scroll to upgrade the wooden walls to stone walls, it certainly seems out of place and simple.
"Then upgrade them all to stone gates and stone arrow towers!"
Shen Mu didn't hesitate at all at this time, and his thoughts immediately communicated with the system.
Then I found the military construction interface of the New Rivadin Castle.
[Stone Gate: Construction/Upgrade Cost: 5000 dinars per gate. Construction time: 30 days. (Construction time can be reduced by faith value)]
[Stone Arrow Tower: Construction/Upgrade Cost: 2000 dinars per tower. Construction time: 20 days. (Construction time can be reduced by faith value)]
The relevant content immediately appeared on the retina in front of my eyes.
"Confirm to build 2 stone city gates and 8 stone arrow towers!"
Shen Mu made a decision immediately.
And he made another decision: "Consume 22 points of faith to complete the construction of all the stone city gates and stone arrow towers!"
Almost instantly, a new dialog box appeared in front of Shen Mu's eyes.
This is feedback from the Mount and Blade system.
[Ding! You chose to use faith points to speed up building construction! ]
[Two stone gates, shortening the time by 2 days requires a total of 30 Faith points.]
[4 stone arrow towers, shortening 20 days requires a total of 16 faith points. ]
【Total consumption: 22 points of faith.】
[You have 17366 points of faith left.]
Then the dialog box appears.
'Om! '
A white stream of data suddenly surged out from between Shen Mu's eyebrows and flowed directly towards the two wooden gates on the left and right sides of the castle's outer area.
It also includes 8 wooden watchtowers on the walls of the entire outer area.
There is also a white data stream attached to it.
Countless lights and shadows began to flicker.
The construction workers and the construction contractor, who were originally numerous in Xinriwadin, once again turned into the shadows of Cardon.
Entering the time flow that had been specially strengthened by the power of faith, he began to quickly build new stone walls and stone arrow towers for Shen Mu.
All wooden buildings in the entire Xinriwadin that did not conform to the castle's architectural system were demolished and rebuilt as stone buildings.
Taller, more reliable, and more difficult to destroy.
"That's it."
Shen Mu was very satisfied as he looked at the city gate and arrow tower which had been completely transformed into stone buildings in just 30 breaths.
Then I looked up at the large number of village houses on the south side of the outer area.
It's still made of simple wood.
However, he did not continue to spend the power of faith and dinars to convert it into town houses.
The key point is that the current village houses are enough.
Shen Mu, who already has military camps in the inner area of the castle, can concentrate his main forces in the military camps.
There are also stables for storing war horses.
Of course, the larger number of Kugit people and Kugit grassland bandits still need to be settled in the houses outside the castle and live with ordinary Vikians.
After all, 300 Kugit people and 215 grassland bandits were still too many.
If we are just talking about people, then there is absolutely no problem.
Entering the inner area of the castle and living in the barracks or towers can completely accommodate them.
It’s just that the number of 515 prairie horses is too large.
It can only be raised in the area outside the castle.
Otherwise, the stables in the inner area of the castle, which already house hundreds of war horses of the Holy Tree Knights, would be extremely crowded if these prairie horses were added in.
Friction problems may also arise.
It would be better to let these prairie horses roam freely outside.
The key is that the steppe horse is a type of horse that can endure hardships and is easier to raise than the horses of the Knights of the Holy Tree.
So these grassland horses can only suffer.
At this time, Shen Mu looked at the building in the northwest corner that had become a bandit's lair. He was quite satisfied with this recruitment building that had obviously been renovated and became neat and tidy.
Before, the grassland bandit stronghold was just a shack surrounded by a tattered wooden fence.
They are all simple houses built with mud, branches and turf.
Now it has become a lair of grassland bandits.
It is obvious that the place has become clean and tidy, and the wooden fences are made of one piece of wood at a time, and the houses are built with stones and wood, looking like normal houses.
This bandit lair is obviously the base of real grassland bandits.
It is indeed different from a base where people only come and live occasionally.
"Master Shen Mu!"
"Hello! Lord Shen Mu!"
At this time, the 1000 Vikia civilians living in the outer area greeted Shen Mu respectfully.
The look he gave Shen Mu was one of great respect and fanaticism.
Especially when looking at Shen Mu, there was a kind of sincere admiration coming from the depths of his soul.
"Yeah, very good." Shen Mu nodded in response to them at this time.
After all, these civilians of Wikia would be his reliable source of soldiers as long as they were upgraded in the future.
Especially now that we are about to face a battle, these Vikia civilians are extremely important.
"Wait, I still have soldiers that haven't been upgraded, and it seems that these Vikia civilians can also be recruited."
Shen Mu had just finished his inspection and the castle had become the new Riwading.
Suddenly I remembered that I had another job.
That is the upgrade of these soldiers and the recruitment of these Wikia civilians.
If Shen Mu remembered correctly.
When you reach the castle level, you can recruit all the civilians living in the castle as soldiers through the castle's conscription.
Following Shen Mu's thoughts, his mind communicated with the system.
Immediately a new dialog box popped up.
[Ding! Your castle "New Riwadin" is now open for recruitment. You can currently recruit——]
[Wikia New Soldiers (First-level Infantry) (100 Dinars/person) (No additional weapons and armor requirements)]
[Vikia Light Infantry (Second-Tier Infantry) (300 dinars/person) (If you have nomadic leather armor, two-handed axe, nomadic hat, leather boots and other equipment, the recruitment cost can be reduced) (Currently no additional weapons and armor are provided)]
[Tip: To recruit subsequent arms, you need to build specialized recruiting buildings: Archery Training Camp (Vikia Guerrilla Archers) and Infantry Training Camp (Vikia Infantry). ]
The content is simple and clear.
Now Shen Mu can only recruit two types of soldiers through his own castle.
One is the first-level Wikia recruit, which is basically the same as the recruits that the village can recruit.
Belongs to the most basic infantry.
However, the second type is the Vikia light infantry, which belongs to the second-level infantry in the combat system of the Vikia Kingdom.
Wearing nomadic leather armor made of leather and holding a two-handed axe.
In terms of destructive power and lethality, it is considered the strongest second-tier soldier in the entire Calradia continent.
However, because there is no shield, it cannot defend against shooting from long-range archers or attacks from melee enemies.
Therefore, it is also a fragile unit with high attack and low defense.
Be careful when using it.
However, the third-level upgrade of the Vikia Light Infantry is the infantry-type Vikia Infantry, and the archer-type Vikia Guerrilla Archer.
Especially the third-level long-range archer unit, the Viktoria Guerrilla Archer.
At the third level, you can use the Nomadic Bow to effectively cover and output arrows to the enemy.
It can be said to be a very useful long-range shooter.
Therefore, the second-level Viktoria light infantry is still quite popular among Shen Mu.
"The only pity is that the recruitment fee is still a bit outrageous."
Shen Mu also had some helplessness on his face at this time.
If you want to recruit Vikia light infantry, the recruitment cost has reached 300 dinars per person now that there are no weapons or armor to reduce the recruitment cost.
This is somewhat outrageous.
If you want to recruit 1000 Vikian light infantry, the dinars you will need to spend will be a terrifying 30 dinars.
But when he thought about it, Shen Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Even if it's not the weekend, the Vikia Light Infantry only recruits those Vikia recruits.
That would also cost 10 dinars.
For Shen Mu now, this expense is still unaffordable.
After all, now he has only accumulated more than 65000 dinars with great difficulty.
Where did the 10 dinars come from to recruit new soldiers from Vikia?
“Sure enough, we are now caught in the money paradox again.”
Shen Mu couldn't help but sigh, he reached out and pinched his eyebrows and felt a little dizzy.
He was indeed a little anxious.
Especially when looking at the dialog boxes that appeared again in front of him, the contents were all dialog boxes of those soldiers who could be upgraded.
His expression became more and more helpless.
Because he knew that the subsequent upgrade of soldiers would cost a large amount of dinars.
It is precisely because of the soldiers who need to be upgraded next that we must not recruit these Vikia recruits whose combat effectiveness is too weak first.
At least we need to improve the combat effectiveness of the existing soldiers.
"Open the unit upgrade interface."
Then Shen Mu’s thoughts continued to communicate with the system.
A new dialog box popped up again.
[You have soldiers that can be upgraded——]
【Upgradeable Soldiers:】
[① Kugit people x 300, can be upgraded to 'Grassland Bandits (40 dinars each)'] 12000
[② Swadian Light Infantry x 100, can be upgraded to 'Swadian Infantry' or 'Swadian Heavy Cavalry' (100 denars each)] 20000
This was something Shen Mu was a little surprised about.
"Among the Swadian light infantry, 100 of them can be upgraded to the fourth-tier troops, and all 300 Kugits can be upgraded to grassland bandits."
This was an unexpected surprise.
Shen Mu's mind immediately communicated with the system: "All Swadian light infantry have been upgraded to Swadian heavy cavalry, and all the Kugit people have been upgraded to grassland bandits."
There was no hesitation at all.
[You have determined the direction of soldier upgrade. ]
【Upgrade starts.】
As the dialog box appeared before my eyes.
'Om! '
New data streams are pouring in again.
In the new Rivadin, which has become the Vikia Castle, the Swadian light infantry and the Kugit people have begun to upgrade.
Moreover, the third-level Swadian light infantry was upgraded to the fourth-level Swadian heavy cavalry, a qualitative change that can be described as a complete transformation.
If they mount a horse, both the man and the horse will be equipped with heavy chain armor, which can be called heavy cavalry that can be called a land tank.
Even if they dismount and fight on foot, armed with a spear, a half-sword, and a fan-shaped shield, they can still be qualified heavy infantry.
Although not as good as the professional infantry, the Swadian Infantry, this fourth-tier infantry has good line-carrying ability and infantry combat level.
But they are much better than ordinary soldiers in holding the line.
At least they are much stronger than the Swadian light infantry. Just look at their muscles, the heavy chain mail they wear, the flat-top helmets armed to the teeth, the iron greaves and chain arm guards, etc., all of which greatly enhance the defense level of these Swadian heavy cavalry.
Not only can it allow these Swadian heavy cavalry, but they can also charge into the enemy lines with their horses and wreak havoc like unparalleled warriors.
Even if they dismount and fight on foot, they can still withstand many conventional attacks from the enemy.
That's why Shen Mu was surprised that these 100 Swadian light infantry could be upgraded to Swadian heavy cavalry.
Especially when Shen Mu learned that these 300 Kugit people could also be upgraded to grassland bandits.
That was a surprise within a surprise.
"Now my grassland bandits have reached 515 people. If they are paired with these 100 Swadian heavy cavalry... doesn't this mean that I have a cavalry unit that is a mixed combination of light and heavy cavalry?"
Shen Mu looked at the grassland bandit who had completed the upgrade and appeared in front of him not far away.
Looking at them, each of them has upgraded from the shorter grassland horses to the taller grassland horses, and has now put on nomadic armor, and is holding spears, with nomadic scimitars and nomadic bows on their waists, looking like standard combat nomads.
I'm getting a little excited.
The most annoying thing about these grassland bandits is not their close combat ability.
Instead, they can use the strong endurance and flexibility of the steppe horses to carry out endless harassment on the battlefield.
The enemy becomes restless and their energy is wasted, and even their formation begins to become disorganized.
They immediately charged with spears and nomadic scimitars, concentrating most of their forces to divide, surround and annihilate those small groups of enemies.
This is the most annoying thing.
And if the enemy's formation is lured into disarray and their physical strength is almost exhausted.
Then let these Swadian heavy cavalry, who can stand shoulder to shoulder to form a wall and charge with guns, push forward.
That's like using a fly swatter to swatter a fly.
One at a time.
Easily.
This kind of tactic was often used by the Mongolian cavalry that once roamed across the Eurasian continent.
On the continent of Calradia, it was the veteran Khergit Lancers who were responsible for the final charge of the Khergit Khanate.
A tier 4 assault lancer.
Although they were also wearing ziplock armor, it was not as good as the armor of the Swadian heavy cavalry, which covered a larger area and had better defensive effects.
The key point is that the legendary and excellent grassland horses ridden by these veteran Kugit Lancers are not armored.
It is similar to the Holy Tree Cavalry.
However, in terms of close combat skills and experience, they are not as strong as the Holy Tree Cavalry who have been in the Holy Tree Knight team since childhood and have been carefully trained and upgraded.
Not to mention the Swadian Knights and Holy Tree Knights who can be upgraded to level five.
Therefore, the Kugit Veteran Lancer is just a faster and less defensive Holy Tree Cavalry.
The only thing that allowed them to hold on was their ability to cooperate with the cavalry of the Khergit Khanate to launch a rapid assault, and at critical moments, charge the enemy with spears in hand and completely tear apart the enemy's formation.
Of course, it is not certain how many people can survive after launching the charge.
It is definitely much better than the Swadian heavy cavalry, the strongest fourth-tier heavy cavalry equipped with heavy armor on both the horse and the rider.
But once the Swadian heavy cavalry is paired with the Khergit Khanate's light archer cavalry.
Then the effect will come out.
You have to know that the Karad Empire had not yet collapsed.
It was by relying on the main forces of the Karad Empire, plus the heavy cavalry of the Swadians, the light cavalry of the Khergits, the line infantry and elite crossbowmen of the Rhodoks, and the archers and shock cavalry of the Vikians, that they swept across the entire continent.
The Karad Empire's reputation was so great that no one dared to offend it for hundreds of years.
Even though the Karad Empire has collapsed and disintegrated.
But whether it is the warband world or the overlord world, they all yearn for this name and want to rebuild the new Karad Empire.
The reason is that the past of the Karad Empire is a glorious one that no one can forget!
