Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

"Take a break." The Orlando general gave a light command on the horse. Although Orlando's heart could not wait to fly back to the imperial capital like an angel with his wings, but on the surface he always showed calmness and composure, galloping back. During the two days, Orlando's calm expression also infected everyone with him.

"The general has an order, rest on the spot!" Several heralds loudly conveyed Orlando's orders in different directions. A few minutes later, the knights who had loosened their formation because of the Mercedes-Benz all gathered together, taking Orlando as an example. The centers dismounted one after another to take a rest. At this moment, the sky had turned dark, and it was indeed time to take a break.

A team of 50 knights, led by their team leader, scattered far and wide as a temporary scout, while the other knights plunged their guns into the ground and jumped off their beloved horses. , Move your body, and then take out the pocket containing the fodder from the storage pocket on your body. The fodder has been prepared for a long time, and there are two ropes on the fodder pocket, which fit the horse’s ears and the horse’s mouth. In the pocket, it is easier to chew the forage inside. After finishing this, the knights took out the marching food and stood still and chewed with the water.

The Royal Knights composed entirely of holy knights should have belonged to the army of heavy cavalry. Although the heavy cavalry had a sharp attack when charging, its weaknesses were also very obvious. The heavy cavalry was dressed thickly whether it was a man or a horse. Basically, only the face of the knight and the four hooves of the horse can leak outside. This is also the reason why the heavy cavalry is difficult to be shaken, because ordinary weapons can't hurt them at all.

But in this way, the horses not only carry more weight, but also must sprint to ensure the impact. There is no way to fight for long on the battlefield. Moreover, people and horses are all heavily armored. If they are not helped by the obedience, they will be even Horses are not afraid to go up, and it is impossible to climb down independently after the battle.

Every heavily armed cavalry usually has two followers to manage and maintain their armor and weapons, assist him in wearing and taking off the armor, use a sling to hoist the knight on the horse, and then hang it down after fighting because he is wearing Heavy armor, they couldn't even twist their bodies.In addition, there will be at least one horseman carrying a load to raise horses, and if it is a long-range campaign, most of them will also follow two coachmen, driving a carriage to provide supplies.

Counting this down, 1,000 heavy cavalry, almost 5,000 logistics personnel can ensure that they can fight normally, and light cavalry must be guarded from a distance, otherwise the combat effectiveness of the heavy cavalry without armor is not as good as an ordinary one. Scout.

However, the Royal Knights has not had such troubles since its establishment. There are three very important reasons. The first is that all the knights in the Royal Knights are holy knights, and holy knights are not ordinary knights. , They not only have to undergo the rigorous training of knights, but also receive the blessing of the gods of light in their hearts. Therefore, the members of the Royal Knights are far more personal than ordinary heavy knights.

The second is in the equipment of these knights. In order to reduce their burden, each knight has a set of special equipment. The armors worn by them and their horses are made of gold mixed with mithril and mixed with a certain proportion of fines. Steel, carefully crafted by specialized craftsmen, can be said to be invaluable.

Gold is soft, while stainless steel is extremely hard and cannot be mixed. However, after mixing with mithril, under the careful design of those magicians, the armor made is brilliant and gorgeous, and the armor is soft and heavy. The amplitude is reduced, and one can wear it easily like ordinary clothes. At the same time, this armor is quite strong, even if it is attached to the armor, it cannot be damaged with ordinary axes or swords.

With such equipment, the Royal Knights can get rid of the supporters and other logistics personnel that ordinary heavy knights must be equipped with, and with the full support of the Magic Guild, each royal knight has a storage pocket, which is enough to carry The rations of the people and horses on the 10th were also the biggest reliance on Orlando’s surprise attack on Senat that day. The latter thought that even if the Royal Knights attacked, it would take time. Unexpectedly, Orlando suddenly appeared outside of his Seke city and cut off the Senate. The supply line of Kerr City, with the illusion of being able to bully less and the grim reality of having to open up the supply line, Senat had to fight with the whole army, but was defeated by the Royal Knights led by Orlando.

This third reason is also the root of Orlando's ability to defeat the Senat rebels in one battle that day, that is, the holy knights blessed by the God of Light, under the leadership of the leader who defeated the believers, can launch an impact with the mentality of "the same enemy and the enemy".When "Same Enemy Yu" is launched, all members of the entire Royal Knights will connect themselves with the leader who is a believer of the God of War. Even if individuals suffer huge injuries, they will be shared through the cooperative defense effect of "Same Enemy Yu". Everyone's body made the fatal blow become negligible like the breeze blowing on his face.

At that time, Orlando used this to force the heavy infantry phalanx of Senat, and when it was about to take over with the heavy infantry phalanx, it suddenly turned and accelerated its speed, rushing into the opponent’s phalanx from the flank, causing In spite of the huge chaos, I was able to do this while galloping, but also because when the same haters were in disagreement, all the members had already connected with Orlando, and this was able to dictate.After a hit, Orlando kept adjusting the direction and angle of the knight's impact, forcing Senat's army to rout, thus winning the final victory.

On that day, such a powerful Royal Knights also had its fatal flaw, that is, the number of people could not exceed 10,000. On the one hand, the armor was extremely expensive and required a large number of magicians to make it. Now the Empire simply cannot make it again. These armors were made by Fernando I, the founder of the empire, with the help of the archmage Meren, who gathered more than 200 advanced enchanters, using the power of the entire empire, over a period of years, and the equipment handed down at the time was also Ten thousand sets, 200 years later, the Royal Knights have experienced countless battles, there will always be part of the damage, and the number can only decrease.

In addition, if you want to become a holy knight, you must obtain the blessing and approval of the gods. This is a very high threshold. The Royal Knights trains thousands of people every year. Only a few dozen people can take that step, and there are rarely more than a hundred people. Even if an ordinary knight joins the charging camp, it is impossible to integrate with the entire team. Even a holy knight may not be able to integrate into the team and cause death in battle.

Therefore, although the current Royal Knights is still 10,000 people in terms of quota, there are only more than 5,000 people who can really launch a charge under the leadership of Orlando. This time Orlando has brought 4,000 of them, and they are still in the trainees. 1,000 of the holy knights were selected to experience the war.

Orlando suddenly woke up from his contemplation, because the shouts of his subordinates came from a distance: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Before Orlando ordered, the knights who had been slightly rested organized themselves and their horses. Turned over and rode on the horse, but within 3 minutes, the whole team entered a state of battle.

Orlando was riding on the horse. He looked at the direction of the sound. The two knights were desperately urging to sit on their horses and ran towards the large group. From a distance, there was a dense sound of horseshoes. Upon hearing it, I knew that the number of the enemy was no less than 10,000.

A move in Orlando's heart, an ominous thought flooded into his heart. In the area controlled by the empire, there are only the Clays with more than 10,000 cavalry units. Could it be that...

The answer was soon revealed. The cavalry from afar has confirmed Orlando’s conjecture. Those cavalry have no armor at all. They are just dressed in single clothes. From their dresses and the scimitars in their hands, they live in South Africa. The Clay tribe on the Talun grassland is a warrior who is born to be good at riding and shooting.

The 500 holy knights have consciously formed a charge formation, and Orlando shouted loudly: "The Imperial Royal Knights are here. The cavalry from afar immediately stops advancing and announces their identity, otherwise it will be regarded as an attack!"

The cavalry simply ignored Orlando's words, and many of them had taken the short bow from their backs and drew the arrows from the quiver.When these Clay cavalrymen approached 300 meters from the Royal Knights, they suddenly dispersed, forming a rather loose formation, and without hesitation they began to draw bows and shoot arrows.

For a time, dense feather arrows were all over the sky. Orlando saw that the opponent had already started attacking, and he gave the order to fight. Almost at the same time, all the knights put down their helmets, and the 500 knights were all wrapped up. Under the golden armor.

Orlando knows that the light cavalry of the Clay clan is extremely fast, but it is impossible for them to be their opponents in close hand-to-hand combat. What they are best at is to weaken their opponents with bows and arrows in the movement, and then seize the exhausting opportunity of the enemy to annihilate them at one stroke. If you want to win, you must rush forward, otherwise you can only become a living target for your opponent.

Orlando had made up his mind, and he raised the three-meter-long gun in his hand.

"Glory!" The 500 sacred knights shouted in unison, and in unison also raised their guns, and a dense steel forest suddenly appeared on the flat ground.At this moment, the feather arrows shot by the Clay light cavalry slammed into the knights and the horses under them mercilessly, but they were unable to shoot through the solid armor and fell to the ground.

Orlando put the spear in his hand flat, only to hear the sound of "Huh!", the 500 holy knights also put down their guns together, the sharp tip of the spear showed a cold light under the bright moonlight.In the next moment, as Orlando rode first, 500 holy knights followed their captain without hesitation, launching a frightening assault.
