"Your Highness. ”

At this time, the Templar Langdon admonished, "The collective mutiny of the Third Patrol Regiment may not be hidden from Lu'an City for too long. In order to prevent the Imperial Army from being dispatched to Lu'an, we must improve the equipment of the Knights Templar and the Holy Maiden Guard as soon as possible. ”

"The head of the regiment is right. The Templar Marcy frowned, "But our team has just been built, and we don't have any experience with the Knights, so what about training, what about military salaries, where do we get to eat, drink, and chew? ”

"It's okay to say that the military salary is good, everyone is a loyal servant of the Bright Lord, the temporary arrears of military salary will not affect morale, and you can also find your own way to eat, if you train, after all, you can't do it in one step, you can only practice slowly first. Another Templar, Ian, also analyzed, "But we lack equipment, and the equipment of the Third Patrol Regiment alone is enough to deter civilians, and it is not enough to look at the regular army of Upper Luan." ”

Several of the Templars were military veterans and knew that armies could win more than just high morale. High-quality equipment, rigorous training, clever tactical command, etc., can all affect the outcome of a battle.

Catherina, the Holy Maiden of Light, didn't know enough about military affairs, so she asked Langdon, "Langdon, do you have any good ideas?"

"The Knights Templar and the Holy Maiden's Guard are both legions that our lord has personally enshrined, and if the equipment is too shabby, it will indeed damage the majesty of my lord, and the losses will increase in battle. "But the problem is, we don't have any money. ”

"The previous batch of equipment had already cost us all the money we had gotten, but it wasn't enough," he explains. ”

Priest Harry asked curiously, "How much is a set of leather armor?"

Langdon's face was heavy: "2 silver Zack." ”

"2 silver Zack?!Isn't that 600 copper elms?" Susan, who was born as a peasant girl, covered her mouth in surprise, "My lord is above, this is enough to buy 300 black breads!"

There are three types of currency in circulation in the Empire, the Copper El, the Silver Zack, and the Golden Frank.

Golden Frank is named after the founding emperor of the empire, Frank the Great, and the same goes for silver and bronze coins, which correspond to the famous El the Great and Zach the Great, respectively.

The exchange rate between Golden Frank, Silver Zach and Copper El is constantly changing, and currently one Golden Frank can exchange for about 60 Silver Zack. Each silver zack can be exchanged for another 300 copper el.

Ordinary civilians basically only use copper Erle in their daily life, and 2 silver zaks are already a lot of money. Susan's family had farmland and horses, and was already considered a moderate freeman, and she was still shocked to hear the price.

But a good set of leather armor can save lives at critical moments, how can it be cheap?

"It's already the cheapest. Templar Ian sighed, "This is just the most basic leather armor, sewn together with tanned and specially treated skin, if it is a delicate leather armor with iron plates like the one on the regimental commander, a set will cost at least 10 silver zaks, and chain mail is more expensive, and a set will cost 2 gold franks." ”

"Moreover, a warrior is not just leather armor. He added, "If you need to arm an infantryman, you need to be lined with thick cotton armor, a felt robe, combat boots, etc., and the whole set will cost at least three or four silver zacks." ”

And that's just the basics, if you want to arm a heavy infantry with full iron armor, you'll need at least three to five gold franks. If you are arming a heavy cavalry, it is even more expensive.

And the equipment has a really, really big impact on strength.

Just like before, the kind of chain mail worn by Nico, the commander of the third patrol regiment, a level 1 soldier may not be able to cut through it with a knife, and there is a high probability that he can only cut a gap, even if he is lucky enough to cut through, he will be unloaded by the chain mail Most of the strength, at most, it can leave a very shallow scar on the soldier's body, which basically does not affect the combat effectiveness.

But if you don't wear armor, even if you are a level 3 warrior, once you are slashed, you will have to suffer no light injuries.

Therefore, if a unit wants to form combat effectiveness, it really can't do without money.

All the fanatical believers listened to his words, and they were silent for a while.

It's really not a good family, I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Even Catherina didn't expect that the cost of weapons and armor would be so powerful.

In fact, even Wu Hui, who was listening on the sidelines, didn't expect that the weapons and equipment in this world would be so expensive?

But it's normal to think about it.

The productive forces of this world are still very backward, and most of the common people can only support their families and barely make a living. The vast majority of wealth and resources were concentrated in the hands of the aristocracy.

It's a pity that Wu Hui doesn't have a good solution for the time being, and he lacks divine power, so he can't conjure up a batch of weapons and equipment for the believers for the time being.

This kind of thing can be included in Wu Hui's thinking in the future. If you can provide the believers with high-quality weapons and equipment, you can make the strength of the believers' army stronger.

The room was silent for a moment.

Trainee Priest Harry said cautiously, "Your Highness, why don't we call on believers to donate, or find some nobles to donate?"

"No, I can't. Langdon objected, "Most of our followers are ordinary civilians and soldiers, with little savings. As for the aristocracy, hmph, they are all guys who eat people and don't spit out bones, and they will sell our believers if they change hands. ”

At the mention of the nobility, Langdon's face was a little angry. The previous Monastery of St. Luan was breached by several nobles who united and led private armies.

The current Templars Marcy, Ian, and Paul were soldiers under Baron Gondeyar a month and a half ago. And Gondeyar, his territory of Gru, the closest to the Abbey of St. Luan, is the monastery he led the attack.

Langdon's words made Marcy and the others look guilty, but this guilt turned into an even more fanatical belief in the blood and life of the people who would prove their loyalty to the Lord of Light.

Everyone didn't have any good ideas, so they could only focus on the Holy Maiden of Light. After all, she is the saint hand-picked by the great Light My Lord, and the representative of my Lord walking in the world.

The Holy Maiden of Light groaned slightly, and said slowly but firmly: "There is money in Gruburg, and there is money in Gangdeyar. He was the main culprit in the storming of St. Luan's Abbey, slaughtering many of our brothers and sisters, and looting the wealth accumulated by the abbey, and deserving the price. ”

Langdon's expression changed, and he hurriedly said: "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, are you going to attack the town of Gru in Gangdeyar? ”

Marcy's face was also very solemn: "Gang Deyar is a baron with real power, and the Gru Escort Regiment under his command is nominally a local legion, but in fact, it is actually a direct private soldier of Gang Deyar, and its weapons and equipment, establishment and training are much stronger than the Third Patrol Regiment. "Marcy used to be a private soldier under the command of Gangdeyar, and he knows the power of Gangdeyar quite well.

"Not only that, but Gondeyar has also canonized three knights. Ian added, "Those three knights are usually stationed in the knight's territory, and each has dozens of soldiers, and their strength is very strong!"

"If you are short of money, you can think of a way slowly. Trainee Priest Harry also objected, saying, "We should continue to use the monastery as a base and secretly and slowly spread the faith and regain believers in the town of Gru and nearby villages." ”

Everyone objected, and with their current strength, they couldn't defeat Gangdeyar at all, unless they asked the Lord of Light to come. But as a knight and priest canonized by my lord of light, if I invite my lord to come down every time I fight, what is the use of asking everyone?

Wu Hui, who was observing the meeting, was suddenly relieved.

These followers of his are fanatical, but they are thinking about him as a god of light everywhere.

Although they are still quite immature, as long as they are cultivated slowly, they can gradually become useful talents. For a god like Wu Hui, the level of faith under his command is more important.

If you don't have enough ability, you can slowly cultivate it.

"I understand everyone's concerns. And that's the second thing I've gathered you to talk about today. The majestic gaze of Catherina, the Holy Maiden of Light, swept across the audience, "Last night, my lord had an oracle handed down. ”

Oracle?!

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they instantly put the topic of previous debate behind them.

No matter how important those trivial things are, can they be as important as oracles?

The six fanatics immediately stood up and knelt in a row in front of the idol, their expressions fanatical: "I'm Langdon/Harry/Susan/Marcy/Ian...... Listen to the oracle. ”

Catherina slowly straightened up, turned and walked to the foot of the idol, her young face solemn. The sunlight poured on her body, leaving dappled light and shadow on her, rendering this moment extremely sacred and solemn.

"My lord decrees that Gruburg is the gateway to the monastery and must be in your own hands. ”

Catherina's voice seemed to fall from the sky, inexplicably carrying a bit of divine flavor.

At this moment, the momentum of her whole body unconsciously climbed to the extreme, and a breath of divine light spread, echoing with the statue of light behind her, faintly, as if there was some kind of connection.

This is the Holy Maiden, the Holy Maiden who serves the true God and delivers the oracle for the True God, and the spokesperson of God walking on earth.

"Do as my Lord God wills. ”

The six fanatics immediately threw themselves to the ground, their expressions extremely pious and fanatical.

The same attack on Gruburg, this time, none of them raised any objections, and no one even showed the slightest hesitation.

God's will cannot be questioned.

The only thing they have to do is do everything they can to get it done.

"Okay~Let's get up~"

After delivering the oracle, Catherina's solemn expression relaxed slightly, raised her hand to signal everyone to stand up, and then said, "Next, let's discuss how to take Gruburg." ”

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

The six of them sat down at the conference table again, and you said a word, and I began the discussion one by one. This time, no one mentioned how difficult it was to fight Gruburg, and everyone was working together to find a way to overcome the problems that needed to be faced in attacking Gruburg.

Sunlight shines through the arched windows, penetrating the air and illuminating the dust, imprinting this scene into time.

In later generations, this meeting was called the "Dawning Conference", and the battle planned in the meeting was called the "Dawning Battle".

Later historians have commented that the splendor of the Holy See of Divine Light began here.

Wu Hui was also very satisfied with this meeting, and without his participation in guiding tactics, the plan they finally came up with was not bad.

At least, in his opinion, with mental arithmetic or unintentional, this battle has a high chance of success.
