Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 199:

“Rapid mobile force?”

　　 “Yes.”

　　 “Does it make sense to hit the rear?”

　　 “Of course it makes sense, the rear has suffered heavy losses, and it is useless if the front line wins.”

　　”This is purely aimed at killing the enemy population, right? This thing is not authentic!”

　　 “Who said no, but the problem is that they are really ready to do that.”

　　 Leonard frowned, East tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and the two leaders of the Northwest Republic* team and the spy were lost in thought.

　　 “I will set the tone first.” Seeing that they did not speak, Sui Xiong said, “We must oppose this approach. No matter how they fight, there is a bottom line that must be emphasized-this kind of purity must not be tolerated. The approach aimed at killing civilians!”

　　He paused, then emphasized again: “Absolutely!”

　　 “If this is the case, then things will be easier to handle.” East laughed, “Let’s send troops too, isn’t it just playing fast maneuvers? They can play, we can play too.”

　　 He is really not bullshit, fast maneuvering this kind of thing needs a large number of skilled knights from adventurers. These people must be familiar with the skills of the ranger, but also know some of the craftsmanship of the thieves, and the two can work together to have this effect.

　　 And now, if you want to say where the most skilled knights are from adventurers, it is naturally the Northwest Republic.

　　For decades, the Northwestern Republic has been committed to attracting talent, the most common of which is retired adventurers. There are all kinds of talents in these adventurers, and many of them are engaged in education. Under their hard work, there are currently a large number of young people equivalent to low-level adventurers in the Northwestern Republic.

　　 As far as riding skills are concerned, it is not easy to have great riding skills, but it is not difficult if you only want to ride horses. Among other things, there is a “Summon Phantom Horse” in the low-level magic. After being upgraded, it will become a “Summon Phantom Horse”, which can summon a horse with excellent physical strength and gentle and obedient. As for how to use this spell, if you put it together, it is not impossible to equip the entire army with magic items that can use this magic.

　　 Although this cost is relatively high, it can effectively improve the mobility of the army. Moreover, the horses that are summoned by magic do not need to eat grass, and the summoning can be cancelled when not in use, which can greatly reduce the target.

　　East liked this spell very much when he was a spy. His spell aptitude is fair, but because he doesn’t have much time to practice, although he understands a lot of spells, he doesn’t really master much. “Summon Phantom Horse” is one of the most advanced spells he has mastered.

　　Of course, this is a thing of the past. Now he can basically use the spells he knows, but he doesn’t really need spells anymore. One is busy with work, and the other is powerful enough to be able to master everything. Unless he has to fight against a master of the same level, he doesn’t use any art, or even fighting spirit, just relying on the basics. Your physical fitness is enough to solve the problem.

　　”Summon a phantom horse…The easiest way is to make a rechargeable wand. In order to ensure safety, the magic level of this wand is best to reach the middle level, so that it can cross the swamp and shallows and make it easy to move. At this level, the price of the wand will probably reach 20,000 gold coins, and if it is equipped with hundreds of people, it is really not a small amount!” Leonard has also been very concerned about logistical information over the years, and quickly calculated the cost.

　　 “Using an alchemy factory can reduce the cost by half.” East said, “If you can use the group enlightenment ceremony, the cost can be even lower.”

　　 “No matter how much you reduce it, it will be hundreds of thousands of gold coins!”

　　”…It’s indeed a bit high, but if you think about it, you don’t need a wand per person.” East pondered for a while, and said, “A magic wand can cast fifty times. Individuals stay ten times, plus the supplement of the caster with the army, an average of five people, more than enough.”

　　 Leonard breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, the cost was reduced to an acceptable level. Although it will still be a sky-high price if it is really equipped in large quantities, at least this “astronomical price” is already a sky-high price with good value for money, not a flashy sky-high price.

　　As a god, Leonard doesn’t care about money, but he cares about the value of money. It is not worth the money to give each of the entire rapid mobility force a “Summoning Phantom Horse” wand. But if it is for each group of five people, the money is worth it.

　　 The wand of seven or eight thousand gold coins looks expensive at first glance, but in fact it can summon the phantom horse fifty times. Even if he loses a horse in three hard battles in his experience, fifty times the phantom horse is also counted. At least equivalent to fifteen or six steeds. A non-heavy ordinary steed is worth about one hundred and fifty to two hundred gold coins, so the value of that wand is equivalent to two thousand to three thousand gold coins.

　　 In fact, at critical times, the wand for summoning the phantom horse is far more reliable than the war horse. The summoned phantom horse will not be frightened, and its ability to withstand damage with a semi-incorporated body is much higher than that of an ordinary horse. More importantly, even if it is “killed”, it only takes a few seconds to re-summon it.

　　 Many times, there is no advantage or disadvantage, but the difference between life and death!

　　 Not to mention that there are many priests in the Northwest Republic. Each squad is assigned a priest. If you use up mana before praying every day, you can restore many spells of the wand, and it can greatly extend the life of the wand.

　　In general, although it is a big expense, it is indeed worth it.

　　 In addition to this magic wand, the rapid mobile force also needs some other equipment.

　　 First of all, lightweight armor. In the pursuit of convenience, heavy full body armor is definitely not wearable. To prevent being targeted, it is best to wear leather armor. Of course, there is no doubt that you can only wear it for use. The price of a leather armor made of powerful monster leather is definitely not cheap.

　　 Then there are weapons, light crossbows and bows and arrows are all needed, and enchanted crossbow and enchanted arrows are definitely needed. Of course, all long and short weapons must be enchanted. These are better. Almost everyone in the middle-class adventurers has some good ones, and at most they can fill up their vacancies.

　　 Finally, there are consumables. The three armed forces have not moved the food and grass first~IndoMTL.com~ In order to pursue speed, the fast mobile unit must not carry heavy carriages, and must use space bags to store supplies. Food, water, medicine, and various spare alchemy items… Calculated piecemeal, it is not a small sum.

　　 “However, it’s all worth it.” Leonard said, “We in the Northwest Republic should also have its own rapid mobile force.”

　　 “Fast maneuver… can’t the caster do it?” Sui Xiong asked in confusion.

　　”Mage spellcasters are not so much warriors as scholars. Letting them fight is a last resort. Priest spellcasters are more warriors, but they shouldn’t Put a lot of effort into battle. In contrast, the formation of a rapid mobile force with rangers and thieves as the team members and priests as the captain is more cost-effective in terms of money, but more cost-effective in terms of manpower.”

　　Speaking of this, Leonard couldn’t help but smile: “People are more important than money, aren’t they?”

　　 Sui Xiong also smiled: “You are right, money is used to spend, people are more important than money!”

　　 So, things are settled.
