After Lenia's reminder, Duke was shocked.

Baron Rhine, the father of the Tiger Knight, was also pulled out of the background of the cult because of a conflict with him, and he is still locked up in the dungeon under the castle.

Moreover, the shadow of the cultist behind Baron Rhine is very closely related to the Church of the End that appeared this time, and can even be directly traced back to the Plague Counselor, the ultimate big black man.

As for Tiger's attitude towards this matter, he has always been very ambiguous, and he has not talked about this topic in public, and Duke has not asked much because of the relationship between father and son.

If this incident was really arranged behind the scenes by the Church of the End, then Duke followed Tiger's wishes, and the final result was predictably tragic.

"I don't think Tiger, as a high-ranking knight of the Templar, should he have fallen to this point, right?" Duke pondered for a moment, still a little unable to accept that Tiger had always given the impression of integrity as a pawn of the Church.

When Lenia heard Duke say this, she spread her hands and said helplessly: "I don't want to speculate on a noble knight like this, but his behavior and behavior are too suspicious, and I suggest that you better be more prepared." ”

Duke nodded in agreement with Lenia's suggestion, there was nothing wrong with being prepared for such a possible threat, although he still had some difficulty accepting such a thing in his heart.

Thinking about it, he looked at Lenia with wide eyes and said, "Then why did you agree to the request for reinforcements for me, didn't you say be careful!"

"Lord, can His Highness Agnes not be saved?"

"Then you can't save it, at least you should make an appearance......" Duke said more and more quietly, so this time it was Lenia glaring at him, so he had to change his words later.

"Ahem, I mean Her Highness must be saved, both out of her duty as a lord or as an obligation to be under the protection of the Light. ”

Lenia's face improved slightly, so she shared her opinion with Duke, "Lord, now we will agree to Tiger's request for rescue no matter what, so instead of continuing to waste time, it is better to accept it directly, so that more preparation time can also allow Tiger to relax his guard." ”

"So how are we going to deal with it?" Duke listened for a while, but still raised the most critical question, if there is no way to defuse the threats that may be encountered in the future, then how many people will be sent will be food delivery.

Lenia obviously had a plan, and as soon as Duke finished speaking, she immediately said, "A dozen people are really useless, but what if it is a dozen soldiers with magic rifles and a dozen dwarves with steam rifles on their backs?"

A dozen soldiers with magic rifles and a dozen dwarves with steam rifles?

"Didn't you say there were only a dozen horses? Counting the ones that needed to be replaced on the road, it would be quite difficult to make a team of ten people, right? That's almost thirty people. ”

Although Duke didn't know much about military affairs, especially ancient military affairs, after daily observation, he still knew a little bit about military knowledge.

Sometimes, in order to save horsepower, the cavalry needs to bring spare horses to change when they are on the way, so that the horses will not be tired and they can reach their destination more quickly.

If you want to make such a five-day journey, it is estimated that a horse will be enough to run to the end.

"If it were only for the purpose of traveling, a horse could be ridden in two ways, so that we could carry about sixteen soldiers. ”

Double multiplication?

Duke didn't think of this, his thinking was limited by the appearance of a traditional cavalry with one man and one horse, and this time what was needed was not cavalry capable of charging, the important thing was just to transport the army to the destination, so the double multiplication was more efficient.

"What about the dwarves? They don't have any extra horses. There are also no legendary earth dragons. ”

Duke made a little joke here, and before that he had sat down with the dwarves of this world according to the dwarven race he had known in the other world, and made a lot of jokes.

For example, the dwarven earth dragon knight that often appeared in previous novels, or the legend that the dwarf and the earth dragon are good friends, is not valid here at all, and if it weren't for Duke, who is a lord, to ask the question, the anvil would have felt that the person who asked this question was sick in the brain.

Lenia was there at the time, so she tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled, "They don't have earth dragons, but they do have boots that can be propelled by steam and magic energy, do you remember the equipment they used when they first came here?"

"Those boots that bounce like rabbits?"

After being reminded by Lenia, Duke probably remembered that the first time he welcomed the dwarves, Anvil and his men did come to meet him first, he originally thought it was something like spring boots, but he didn't expect it to be powered by steam and magic energy.

"Yes, it's the boot. If they are provided with a sufficient amount of Powered Stones, they will be running at full speed no slower than our horses, and may even be even faster. ”

Receiving Lenia's affirmative answer, Duke's eyes lit up, so that his side of the paper strength looked much better.

The latest model of the magic energy rifle has improved a lot in terms of power and rate of fire, and it is a great threat to level 4 knights, and if you fire intensively, there is a high probability that the opponent will not be able to stop it.

And the dwarf's steam rifle has always been the ceiling of mechanical weapons' combat power, even if Lenia, who is a level 5 knight, is not comfortable to be shot without paying attention, and it is estimated that there is no way to deal with it if it is set on fire.

In this way, the strength of the rescue team reorganized by Duke this time may be even stronger than Tiger's original Saintess Guard.

"But how are we going to deal with that plague among the ten plagues?"

Soon, Duke discovered another problem, the high-level combat power on his side seemed to be a little weaker, and against the high-level leaders of the Ultimate Church in the position of strength, there was a high probability that it would still be like delivering food.

Lenia didn't seem to have much scruple and said, "I've gotten to know Mr. Simon. Among the ten calamities, except for a few whose names have always been inherited, the strength of the newly emerged high-level figures generally does not exceed the peak of level 7. ”

Level 7 Peak!

Duke looked at her with some annoyance, is the peak of level 7 weak?

As if sensing the lord's suspicions, Lenia added: "At this time, the other party is using the formation with all its strength to trap Her Highness the Holy Maiden, and it is basically impossible to distract us from dealing with us, I think that with the strength of level 6 and the assistance of the soldiers, you can deal with him and wait for the opportunity to deal with Her Highness the Holy Maiden." ”

Before Duke could say more, Lenia's bland words choked him back and choked him half to death.

"I forgot to report to you, I was promoted to level 6 champion knight the day before yesterday. ”
