Chapter 848: Heavy Armored Cavalry
“Ah, this…”
After hearing what happened, Danik couldn't help but have a strange expression on his face.
At first, I thought there was a conflict between the unruly savages and the caravan, but I never expected it was an internal conflict between them.
Then he thought of the information he had gained from the previous conversation, that the barbarians were not united, and were probably similar to the nobles within his own clan.
But I didn't expect that they would kill without mercy...
As for those guys whose team leader was killed, they left in disgrace after being released, and did not even come to complain to me or ask for punishment.
It should be some of their internal processing methods.
"Well, I don't want to interfere with your own situation, but in my town, killing people in the streets is not allowed. If you have any problems, you can come to us for arbitration."
Danic said with a bit of a headache.
As the lord of the town of Danic, he certainly has the responsibility of maintaining law and order, but it is okay to turn a blind eye at this time.
"We are sorry for causing trouble this time."
Kangaroo's father also lowered his posture in front of Danik at this time, so as not to lose his favor because of the murder.
"Since your caravan will arrive tomorrow at the latest, I will go with you after a short rest."
Danic hesitated for a moment before speaking.
“It’s our pleasure.”
Lu Yi now understands a little bit about how to deal with this group of nobles. He read some books on his way back...
…
"Fireball, huh? Two fireballs? Even though he's only an apprentice, he's really strong. Not as lame as using Tongue Mastery."
Danic bumped into the two leaders of the demi-human caravan. They were both under the command of Count Luke and had a good relationship with him.
We also get something from a separate perspective from here.
Fireball is a spell that can be used by everyone from Apprentice to Legend, and it is one of the most cost-effective attack spells.
Judging from the previous explosion traces and the fact that two fireballs were launched at the same time, Danic also made a prediction. If he didn't wear armor and only relied on breathing to induce magical disturbances, it would be difficult to withstand it!
The best way is to kill the opponent when he is casting a spell.
If you are not a formal mage and have not engraved the model in advance and do not perform instant casting, it is still safer to use the bow and throwing pistol directly.
But once you are entangled, you can only find a way to use speed to get rid of the mental lock of the fireball, and then follow the direction of the fireball explosion and rely on breathing to resist it.
After all, he was a knight. After a quick simulation in his mind, he nodded and said
"And you're saying that they pointed those sticks at the guys who were lying on the ground, and they didn't dare to move?"
This is also an area that Danik pays close attention to.
Every savage carries such a stick, and he is actually very curious about it.
But most of them regard it as a totem.
After all, it doesn’t look very sturdy.
But now it seems like a weapon?
"I sensed a slight fluctuation of magic power, probably some kind of reinforcement, and there was also a slight breath of fire magic power, but I'm not sure what the specific situation was. They didn't launch an attack."
Murphy is an experienced apprentice. At least with Baron Danic's background, it is difficult to hire such an apprentice as a consultant.
"Reinforcement, flame..."
Danic murmured, and in his mind appeared a scene of savages holding sticks like magic wands and pointing them at each other and spitting fire.
But I don’t care about that now. I wonder if the so-called caravan will bring some with them this time. If it’s not expensive, I can buy one and study it later.
"I will follow you with my personal soldiers. We cannot let the savages look down on us."
Danik then said to Jianan with a smile.
"All on horseback?"
The tiger captain King Kong also grinned .
Every time a war horse is deployed, it needs to be replenished if it loses weight, which is quite costly. The war horses themselves are also very easy to get injured when carrying heavily armored cavalry, and they are very valuable.
Don't think that Danik only has fifty elite soldiers, but the cost is much greater than the escort team of their caravan.
Except for his own magic pig, most of the mounts under his command were pack horses.
Not to mention the heavy armor, it would be difficult for his subordinates who were carrying weapons on their backs to charge.
"Everyone rides horses! After raising them for so long, they have to go out and see the world."
Danik laughed, feeling a sense of accomplishment for his elite soldiers.
Although there were only fifty people and a huge amount of money was spent, the effect was absolutely outstanding.
With these fifty cavalrymen as the spearhead and the assistance of the militia, it would not be a problem to disperse a mob .
Even if there are twenty professional-level experts, they can fight head-on!
But of course, such precious elite troops cannot be wasted casually. It costs too much time and money, and they can only fight a few real battles. Deterrence and protection are still the main purpose.
The rebels kept sending letters to persuade him, because they actually had their eyes on this force.
The force that is mainly used for deterrence must of course be displayed when necessary!
When the savage caravan arrives, it’s time to show off!
Lest these savages continue to act lawless...
I, Baron Danic, am easy to talk to. That's just because I'm approachable, not because I don't have power!
The power of deterrence does not have to be used, but it must be there!
…
"It's coming, just ahead."
At dawn the next morning, Lu Yi and his companions received news from Young Master Qin's caravan, and then they took Baron Danik and the demi-human caravan to the edge of the Warcraft Forest.
Fifty heavily armored cavalrymen lined up in formation, the visual effect is quite amazing.
"I saw a dozen cavalrymen yesterday and they looked quite impressive. Now seeing so many of them is even more impressive."
"Full body armor! We also want to make a full body armor! Animal skins are too low-end and shameful."
"Wait for the local tyrants like Young Master Qin."
“…”
This is the first encounter between the savage caravan and the indigenous forces. There are still many people watching the live broadcast, some from the caravan's perspective and some from Lu Yi's side.
Baron Danic led his fifty heavily armored cavalrymen and stopped in unison two hundred steps in front of the forest.
The knights' heavy armor and the warhorses' armor shone with silver light under the rising sun, bringing out a steely aura.
In addition to the bulky carriages and merchants stopping in the town to unload goods, the tiger guards also rushed over.
Although the pack horses of the Tiger Guard were a bit unsightly, the tall and mighty Tiger Guards made up for these shortcomings to a certain extent in appearance. In addition, the magic pig ridden by the Tiger Captain King Kong was also very prominent at the scene.
It was even larger than the thousand-pound demon pig that Dali's team had killed. It had sharp fangs and shiny black hair that was combed like spikes. It hummed and exhaled hot air from time to time.
It can be said that this time is the time to show their strength to some extent.
Looking at the forest path ahead, which was formed by hunters and adventurers who had been going in and out for a long time, Danic smiled and asked Lu Yi:
"Didn't they say they have already arrived at the road opened by the adventurers? They are a bit slow."
Murphy, who was standing next to him, also rode forward and asked:
"Are you communicating via magical communication?"
"Yes, we have a special way of communicating within the clan."
Lu Yi first responded to Murphy. After all, this old man with a fairy-like appearance was a wizard from outside, and his strength was probably quite good.
Thinking of the scene where the equally old Zabo used the special effects of the great wizard's strength, Lu Yi still felt a sense of awe for the power.
Then he said to Baron Danic
"Your Excellency the Baron, they have indeed come to this long-standing forest path, but because the path is too narrow, they took the time to widen it along the way."
Upon hearing this, Danik, Jianan, King Kong, Murphy and others all showed surprise and astonishment on their faces.
No way?
Originally in their opinion, that trade route couldn't even compare to this trampled path, and it would be good enough if it could be barely distinguished in the woods!
But what are they talking about?
Too narrow?
"this……"
Before Baron Danic could say anything else, he, a mid-level knight, was the first to feel something was wrong.
The ground is shaking!
At first he thought it was his own cavalry horse's occasional hooves, or it might be caused by the tiger guards.
But as he got closer, he discovered that the source of the vibration was in the forest!
