Chapter 110 Chiffon's War Horse
Richard looked at the packhorses, a barely perceptible glint in his eyes.
"Their infantry combat is fine, but their mounted combat is a blank slate. Their packhorses are docile, which is perfect for practice."
Don't worry.
"In a while, I will arrange a warhorse for everyone in the Chiffon Legion. You won't be riding packhorses into battle."
Karl was instantly overjoyed!
He clenched his fist tightly, his voice trembling slightly.
"grown ups..."
"You mean the 580 soldiers of the Chiffon Legion can all be equipped with monster war mounts? Doesn't that mean they'll be directly transformed into a knightly order!?"
He knew all too well the difference between the high-ranking legions and the knightly orders; the extraordinary soldiers of the two might be roughly equal in strength.
However, with the aid of monster war mounts, the Knights Order's mobility, impact, and battlefield deterrence far surpass those of ordinary high-ranking legions.
If the Chiffon Legion could equip all its members with monster war mounts, in terms of numbers, it would surpass the Frostfoil Knights and directly jump to the forefront of the Northern Territory, directly approaching the Wolf Riders' main force!
Just thinking about that scene made Karl's blood boil; his veins were throbbing.
He served in the military for nearly thirty years, working his way up from the reserves, and his biggest wish is to become a knight!
Dominate the battlefield!
Invincible!
Although it's unclear where the lord will get hundreds of rideable monsters, this wish seems to be getting closer and closer to being fulfilled!
Richard smiled at Karl's excited expression, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged him, "That's right."
"In just over a month, the Chiffon Legion will become a true knightly order."
"Your primary task now is to get all the soldiers to start practicing horsemanship. The next time you encounter the enemy, your mounted combat should be as precise as your infantry combat."
"By the way, there are more than eighty archers like Barrett and his men. Let them focus on practicing mounted archery and find their accuracy on horseback."
"As you wish!"
Carl responded loudly. At this moment, he had long since lost his previous doubts and dissatisfaction, and was filled with enthusiasm and anticipation.
However, mounted archery requires shooting at an object that is also moving while moving at high speed, which is more than ten times more difficult than standing archery.
Becoming a qualified horse archer like Barrett and his companions will not be easy, but Karl has faith in them.
By infusing their life force, they can temporarily stabilize their focus. In addition, given their long-term practice in archery, it shouldn't be too difficult for them.
Richard nodded in satisfaction.
I wonder what his expression will be when he sees the monster war mounts prepared for the legion, which are actually horses, a little over a month later.
Yes.
—The mount of the Qi Feng is a horse.
It's not an ugly, monstrous creature like a griffin, nor a wolf-like monster that runs as silently as a cat, nor a four-legged, pot-bellied lizard-like crawling dragon.
Richard didn't like any of these; he preferred elegant warhorses!
It is a warhorse that can make the earth tremble violently when the army group charges!
In Richard's view...
Knights and warhorses—that is the most romantic bond of life and death on the battlefield; otherwise, it would be a profound desecration of the title of knight.
What dragon knight and dog knight...?
They're all heretics among knights!
They should all be burned at the stake!
He had a good impression of the Wolf Riders purely because their mounts were all Swift Dire Wolves, which at least looked neat and aesthetically pleasing, not because he liked Swift Dire Wolves as mounts.
As for the Frostfoil Knights, their monster mounts were a hodgepodge of lions, rock lizards, armored beasts, and giant ghouls.
When it runs, if you didn't know better, you'd think it was some kind of circus troupe rushing to perform on the street; Richard wouldn't even bother to look at it.
It's incredibly ugly!
This is his most direct and only assessment of the Frostfoil Knights.
of course.
Richard had no intention of actually sending his soldiers into battle on these packhorses of varying heights, weights, and colors.
There are differences between horses.
Then, use [Mount Enhancement] to strengthen these weak packhorses, and they'll be instantly upgraded into powerful warhorses.
There's no need to talk to Karl now; just let them focus on practicing their riding skills. Richard also has no way of describing to them how amazing the enhanced packhorses are.
Because he didn't know either.
【Mount Enhancement】is a roguelike mod.
Strengthening a direction is like drawing a lottery; what you get depends entirely on luck.
Examples include Dream Demon Warhorse, Skeleton Ghost Horse Spirit, Wind-Riding Kirin, Red Hare, Qilin Steed, Lightning, Dust-Free, and Flying Sand.
There are hundreds of types, some strong and some weak, and he himself doesn't know what kind of war mount he will eventually enhance.
If you draw a monster-type monster, it'll be a monster war rider! Then you can feed it some Iridium crops and let it grow alongside the rider, making it the best battle partner.
If you draw a card that you are not satisfied with, you can use materials to reset the card pool and draw again.
In the late game, there were too many resources that had nowhere to be used, and hoarding them in the warehouse would be a waste, so mods were created to address this issue.
It's not only fun, but also highly entertaining and visually appealing.
Once the finished product is ready, we'll give Carl a surprise.
Having finished explaining the matter, Richard turned and returned to the lord's mansion.
Next.
He had one last task for the day: to input all the seeds sent by the Ferret Merchant Guild into the system and adapt them for use.
During his time away from chiffon cakes, Oscar collected all kinds of seeds, crops, flowers, and fruits; he had people buy anything that could be found in this era.
There was a makeshift study on the second floor, where Lina kept all the seeds, with a table full of cloth bags of various sizes.
Each cloth bag had a note attached with the name of the seeds: twenty-seven kinds of crops, twenty-three kinds of flowers, and fifteen kinds of fruits.
Judging from the quantity, he has all the fruit seeds he wanted, but only half of the flowers are available, and the crops are still a bit lacking.
Also.
Flower seeds are rarer than crops and fruits, and some varieties only grow in specific territories or forests.
It's quite remarkable that the Snow Sculpture Trading Company was able to find more than twenty kinds in such a short time.
He opened the system panel in his mind and switched to the seed input information interface under [Reality Adaptation].
First and foremost, it must be that black pepper seed that he treasured and kept.
[Hint: Crop seeds from outside the game detected. Do you wish to consume 10 gold for adaptation and modification?]
【Yes】
The moment it was confirmed, the black pepper seed in my hand was enveloped in a golden light.
A few seconds later, the light faded, and the originally ordinary seed had grown several sizes larger, becoming round and plump.
Seeds: Black pepper
[Type: Crop]
Quantity: 1 piece
[Limited to: Summer and Autumn Planting]
[Cooking time: six days]
[Growth conditions: Requires daily watering; watering may be unnecessary on rainy days or when using moisture-retaining soil.]
[Description: Black pepper has a spicy and intense flavor with a pronounced stimulating sensation and woody aroma, accompanied by a slight sweetness.]
Richard nodded in satisfaction.
Thank goodness.
It is a cross-seasonal crop that grows between summer and autumn!
