Chapter 57: Practicing Horseback Riding

In the first encounter, the human side fought another orc and was lucky to win.

And when the news spread, the border witch Lin and the Templar captain who commanded the battle were summoned to the Holy Sanctuary by the bishop in charge of the mission in Xihe region.

Because the bishop was also warned by Liang Tian, he learned that the orcs would be an extremely formidable opponent.

But she hadn't had close contact with orcs, let alone fought with them, so Rin's experience was naturally very valuable.

Therefore, when Lin came to the Holy Sanctuary in the capital of Xihe, and saw the bishop who summoned her, the bishop went straight to the point: "When I learned the news of the orcs, I have been worried.

Now, the war between us and the orcs has begun. So, to ensure that this war, which is vital to the survival of all mankind, ends with our victory.

From now on, I want you to be my second-in-command, helping to train all the Templars in Xi and the territory on how to fight the orcs. ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency. ”

For Rin, going from an inconspicuous border witch to the deputy of Xihe and the bishop is definitely a few levels higher.

Therefore, Lin did not shirk, but accepted the appointment without hesitation.

Because of the two battles with the orcs and the invisible guidance of Liang Tian, this border witch does have a lot of experience in how to fight against the orcs.

Now, with such an appointment as a bishop, Lynn has just put into practice what she has learned.

So the day after she was ordained, Lin began training the hundreds of Templars of the Holy Templar.

And the content of the drill is horseback riding. This was the inspiration that Lynn had received from the orc knights. Compared to heavy vehicles, the mobility and agility of a single rider are undoubtedly greater.

Moreover, there is a distance of seven or eight hundred miles between the orc country and Xihe, such a long distance, if there is to be a counterattack one day, the heavy chariot will fall apart when it is only halfway through.

Therefore, whether in a tactical or strategic sense, the human side should form a knightly army with super mobility.

It's just that it is not an easy task to form a knightly army belonging to humans from scratch.

Humans are different from orcs in that they don't have the habit of riding horses at all. As a result, even these Templars, with their otherworldly powers, were not much better than ordinary warriors who had not been blessed when they climbed on horseback.

The only advantage may be that the blessed Templar is in better shape and more resistant to falls.

But this is actually like practicing boxing, before hitting someone, practice being beaten first. Therefore, after practicing in front of hundreds of Templar warriors for half a month, the control of the war horse under the crotch is far greater than before.

In this way, keep learning from failure. The extremely fall-resistant Templars practiced for another half a month, and most of them were able to stabilize their bodies on the galloping horses and keep themselves from falling.

However, it is impossible to engage in any charge confrontation on the station. After all, they haven't even invented the saddle now, and the stirrup is all learning from those orcs and making unilateral stirrups.

With such a simple harness, the Templars were able to guarantee that they would not fall off their horses, which was already remarkable.

Besides, even those wildebeest knights of the orcs only use horses to travel on weekdays. Before the saddle was invented, even orcs would not want to charge against a horse on a bumpy horse.

Therefore, the orc wildebeest knights only rode before the battle, and when the battle broke out, they dismounted and fought on foot.

Therefore, seeing the results of this training, not only Lin, who is the person concerned, but even Liang Tian is basically satisfied.

It's just that at this moment, although Liang Tian understands how to improve the combat effectiveness of these knights, he doesn't intend to leak the secrets of the saddle and stirrups at this time.

After all, these two inventions are too simple, and there is no scientific and technological content at all. If it is leaked now, then when the orcs in the West know about it, they will easily start copying it.

And the number of orc knights far exceeds that of humans, so in the end, it is those orcs who take advantage of this matter. It's more than worth the loss.

Besides, Liang Tian is also a god worshiped by millions of people.

In addition to the saddle stirrup and other scientific things, he also has a lot of unscientific things that can be used.

For example, weapon blessing and demonic beast domestication.

However, in these long decades, in addition to guiding and promoting the productivity and scientific and technological level of the tribe and Xihe, Liang Tian also did a lot of experiments that were not so scientific.

And in the end, in that brain-opening mess of experiments. The blessing of weapons and the domestication of demonic beasts have become Liang Tian's two most successful and practical achievements.

Let's start with the blessing of weapons.

This is because Liang Tian was also a game fan in his previous life, so he was deeply impressed by the messy artifacts such as the Demon God Sword and the Angel Sword.

So one morning, he couldn't help but think on a whim: "If other so-called gods can create all kinds of powerful artifacts, why can't they themselves?"

Thus began his experiments with the blessing of weapons.

However, the experiment did not go well at first. Although the power of faith is magical, it is not an omnipotent power in the end, and it is not possible to turn an ordinary weapon into the appearance of Liang Tian's imagination at will.

So much so that Liang Tian carried out this experiment intermittently for several years, but no breakthrough was made.

Until by chance, an excellent blacksmith worked hard under his guidance to finally create the first steel sword in this human civilization.

The rejoicing blacksmith therefore planned to sacrifice the sword to Liang Tian as a sacrifice. However, he felt that only blood-stained swords were qualified to be called swords, so he handed over this steel sword, which was extremely valuable at the time, to a powerful Templar who had been blessed by Liang Tian three times.

Armed with the steel sword, the Templar successfully killed a harpy.

The steel sword was stained with blood, and the samurai offered the sword to Liang Tian along with the body of the harpy. In the end, under another experiment on Liang Tian's whim, the world's first weapon blessed by Liang Tian was born.

And it was only at this moment that Liang Wei understood: "The power of faith is not incapable of blessing weapons, but that weapon must be sacrificed by the creatures it kills." ”
