"The potions and nutrients needed for knight training alone are a huge expense, not counting the cost of armor, weapons, mounts, and knights' servants!"

Franco sighed and said: "Although weapons and armor can be passed down from generation to generation, the ancestral armor and weapons that have been polished and tempered by the will of the ancestors are not inferior to those enchanted equipment, but the automatic repair ability of legendary weapons, ordinary armor and weapons will still be lost, and if there are more new knights from generation to generation, they need to constantly build new equipment, which is all ......an expense."

"What's more, weapons and equipment can use ancestral antiques, but knights' mounts can't be saved!"

When it comes to the topic of money, Georgie is often very excited, and he interjects with great interest: "The power of knights is too strong, such as ordinary horses, camels, reindeer, etc., can not become knights' mounts. ”

"If you want to withstand the impact of the power of knight fighting, at least you must be a ferocious creature that has undergone the tempering and baptism of fighting spirit, and the musculoskeletal has begun to become ferocious......"

The strength of the knights is all-round strength, and the corresponding strength is that they need too many resources.

Ordinary war horses can't withstand the aftermath of knight battles at all, and the mounts used by the real knights of each family are basically extraordinary mounts mixed with the blood of monsters or dragons, and they have been getting along with the knights day and night since childhood, and have been tempered by fighting spirit.

Even if it may not have the same spell-casting ability as a monster, at least it has been carefully selected, carefully bred, and improved from generation to generation after the bloodline, and has experienced the baptism of vindictiveness, and has completely become a ferocious creature.

This is just ordinary knights, as far as Karl knows, the top powers of the continent, such as the Holy Hyrule Empire, the Saint-French Empire, and the Saint-Jose Empire, even have the technology to breed and cultivate magical creatures in captivity.

For example, the "Knight of the Ice Crown", "Knight of the Holy Grail", "Knight of Platinum Glory", and "Knight of the Dragon Eagle", as the pinnacle of combat power in this world, support the knights of an empire. Their mounts, naturally, are capable of carrying the legion charges of those powerful knights, and are more powerful magical creatures than the ferocious mounts of ordinary knights.

For example, what Carl knows, the wolves of the Ice Crown Knights are all winter wolves summoned from the Crown Plateau in the far north.

For example, the mounts of the Dragon Eagle Knight of the Holy Hairule Empire are all special alpine dragon eagles unique to the Hairule Mountains.

For example, the platinum dragon scale war horse of the Platinum Glory Knight of the Saint-French Empire is a dragon-blooded creature that has been cultivated and improved by the Saint-French Empire for generations.

For example, the royal griffin knights of the San Jose Empire were born after the first kings exchanged the secret of domesticating griffins from the dwarves in exchange for a mountain territory.

This is actually not surprising, human beings are not unintelligent monsters, under the wisdom and subjective initiative of human beings, there is no essential difference between cultivating magical creatures and ordinary creatures in a sense.

These magical creatures born with extremely strong physique and spell-casting ability are, after all, creatures born of some natural cause, although powerful, but not irreproducible.

In the ancient wizarding era, people began to try to breed and domesticate magical creatures, and this technology reached a peak in the ancient magic empire. At that time, the entire continent was the testing ground of the Magic Empire, and the mountains, swamps, and grasslands far away from human settlements were full of magical towers, which were being tested, raised, cultivated, induced, and improved for generations under the effect of intentional catalysis and enrichment of magical power.

After the fall of the Old Magic Empire, the knights inherited the legacy of the Old Magic Empire, inheriting some of the skills to tame and cultivate magical creatures. After generations of practice and exploration, the knights have now formed a stable symbiotic relationship with the Warcraft mounts.

Of course, raising powerful magical creatures such as the Winter Wolf, Dragon Eagle, Platinum Dragon Scale War Horse, Royal Griffin, etc., requires materials and financial resources that are far beyond the reach of a knight and a family.

Ordinary nobles and knights generally raise some war horses mixed with demonic beasts or dragon veins, and the thin magical bloodlines in the bodies of such war horses are no longer enough for them to have powerful extraordinary power, but under the effect of some secret methods, they can also be allowed to carry out some violent mutations.

Although ferocious creatures are not as powerful and strange as magical creatures, their strong and ferocious physique far surpasses ordinary creatures, and they are enough to play an important role on the battlefield.

In this world, the aristocratic family's pursuit of ferocious mounts is no less than the pursuit of thoroughbred horses by the nobles of Karl's previous world. The cultivation and research methods of the ferocious mount are often the hidden secrets of a noble family, representing the heritage and achievements of a noble family.

"I very much suspect that the wizards created the knights on purpose to rely on resources in the first place!"

The more he thought about it, the more Franco felt that the cultivation of knights was simply an invincible pit, so he couldn't help but have some conspiracy theories and doubts: "Although the power of Dou Qi is strong, it is completely impossible to use it as easily as magic for production, food, potions, equipment, mounts, everything is a bottomless pit, but it is an indispensable necessity to maintain the knight's combat effectiveness......"

"No need to guess, this is the truth ......"

A lazy voice interjected, but it was Levi, who had just arrived in a hurry and missed a good show, yawning, looking overworked and sleep-deprived, and said, "Mages are not idiots, and of course they don't want to create a class that can threaten their status...... However, the Ancient Magic Empire obviously got away with it in the end, and although there were other reasons for the collapse of the empire, there were too many knight legions, and the strong material demand directly caused the economic collapse of the empire, which was one of the main reasons!"

"The collapse of the economy led to the demise of the Old Magic Empire? is a new theory, but we're no better off right now!"

Franco shook his head and sighed helplessly: "As far as I know, most of the knight families have some financial problems now, and some families that are not good at running even have to borrow like the Chamber of Commerce - for example, the Earl of Claus of Glenheim, in order to maintain the family business, even had to marry the daughter of a wealthy merchant as his wife, which is a laughing stock in aristocratic circles......"

"Even if it becomes a laughing stock, it is better than the economy is bankrupt, the family business is declining, and in the end you can only live hard by guarding the ancestral house!"

As a pragmatist, Georgi has always been puzzled by some insistence of the broken aristocracy, and can only spread his hands and say: "Even the great, glorious, right, and infallible Pope has allowed the Church to sell indulgences, and the noble, majestic, and just kings have generously offered their official positions to sell at a price, and even the antiques of the most conservative and stubborn heraldic courtyard can pass the lord's family genealogy examination under the charm of money." What else is there to laugh at?"
