Chapter 90: Classification of Cavalry

Fed's categorical remark stunned both Maevie and Lady Eli, but Lady Eli only shut up for a second before immediately wanting to refute Fett. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Mother-sama!" Maevus grabbed one of Lady Eli's arms, "Don't say it, Captain Fede has been entangled in a lot of things lately, and it's too early to get married, and I have only known him for less than two months..."

Madame Eli didn't know whether she was so angry that she couldn't speak, or because of her daughter's kind words, she just stared at Fed, and didn't say anything more. After she eased up, she was sent out of the box by Mei Fu, and the mercenaries of the Potato Mercenary Group outside the box were startled, only to realize that the noise just now was the voice of this woman. Maevie's knight of the guard immediately appeared outside and temporarily picked up Lady Eli.

"That's what my mother is like, she is very resolute in everything she does," Maevie said to Fed after returning to the box, "As soon as she heard that her father was going to hire a group of potato mercenaries, she immediately sent me to throw an olive branch to you, simply because she already admired your performance in the Oguna Empire, and this time she also solved the problem that had been plaguing the city between the city of Dutrees and the city of the square tower." She also made it clear when she came that she wanted to reward you, and I didn't expect things to turn out like this..."

Two divorced aristocrats each own a city, and between them there happens to be a group of suspicious rebels and stubborn mountain dwellers, neither of whom wants to take the infamy of the masses and deal with the matter himself. It just so happened that a well-known mercenary group came here, and it was a neat thing to use it and then put the blame on it, but I didn't expect that Mrs. Eli was planning to recruit herself as her son-in-law, and it seems that the female city lord of Fangta City is not a ruthless person. Feder thought to himself.

Seeing that Fed's still didn't speak, Maevie frowned and said, "Maybe it's because she heard what I said behind the wall and your reaction, that's why she's so angry." It's all my fault, in fact, she is just worried about me and is dedicated to my good, after all, she only has me now..."

Fed: "Miss Maeve, I can understand the feelings of both of you. After saying this, Fielder began to eat the food on the table, which was already cold, and the food that was too hot was not to Field's liking. There is no substance in talking too much, and both Feld and Maeve know in their hearts what has just happened, that it is just a desperate mother who wants to help her precious daughter make a final decision.

Mafu didn't say much after that, her eyes revealed more grievances, maybe she didn't know that today's meeting would become so stiff.

After returning to the mercenary's house, Fed began to think about how to bring the potato mercenaries out of the city in a logical way. Both Patrick and Luca, who knew about the spy teacher, advocated taking all of their combat-capable men out of Dumule City in the name of field training, and then telling them the news outside the city so that they could be ready to fight at any time.

After analyzing the map of possible ambushes, Lukka said: "I have been to these places with my cavalry men, and there are several places where the terrain is not suitable for ambushes, and if the rebels want to ambush us in such places, it is not much different from a frontal attack. โ€

"Is this picture a fake?" asked Patrick.

"Not necessarily, there is a place that is very suitable for ambushes," Lukka pointed to a field location southeast of Dumu City, which was also marked as an ambush site, "This is a road that connects to Pagoda City, and the view of the whole road is very good, but there is a section of the road that marks this place that is very suitable for ambushes, if I were a rebel, I would definitely choose to sneak attack when the mercenary group passes by here." โ€

Patrick heard someone knocking at the door, and he whispered, "Forget it, it doesn't make much sense to think about these things now, let's wait for Newt to send someone to inform you." โ€

The person who came in was Selena, and it had been a long time since Fed had a good talk with the former Knight Commander about his subordinates, and this time the other party was holding various papers in his hands, and it seemed that he was going to have a good discussion with Fed.

"Captains Luca and Patrick are here too, so they can give me a little advice," Selena put the sheets on Fidel's desk, "I'm going to divide the cavalry squadron of more than three hundred people into three levels, and then equip them with different equipment." If it works, maybe this grading system can be applied to other types of squadrons. โ€

After a few glances, there were different styles of cavalry equipment in these forms, and there were also clear indications of their prices, as well as an introduction to the three levels of cavalry. Fei De noticed that some of the equipment styles were similar to the equipment used by knights, which was probably related to Selena's background, and there were also a lot of expensive equipment, which was not a small amount if it was configured for hundreds of people.

"It looks quite luxurious, but as for the practicality...", the more pragmatic cavalry captain Luca expressed some doubts, he also wanted to be a knight and knew how to use these things.

"Commander and captains, I intend to divide the cavalry into three types: elite cavalry, vanguard cavalry, and scout cavalry, each of which will be equipped with different equipment. โ€

"In other words, the elite cavalry is the main force of the cavalry squadron, and then these elite cavalry must be equipped with such expensive equipment?" asked Patrick.

When Feder used to stay in the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment, Eddie's cavalry was less than a few dozen people, and the same cavalry would be handled by both head-to-head confrontation and scouting. Now there are very few mercenary groups in the continent with cavalry as the core and main force, and mercenary groups like the King's Knight Mercenary Group need to use a huge amount of money to maintain their cavalry strength, so their number is so small. Even if the potato mercenary group makes some money now, it can't be said that it is a piece of cake to maintain a cavalry team of 300 people, let alone equip most of the cavalry with knight-like equipment?

Selena shook her head, she didn't mind Luca and Patrick interrupting her, "The elite cavalry is the biggest illusion in this grading system, although they are the main force of the cavalry team, and they will account for about eighty percent of the total cavalry team in terms of numbers, but the vanguard cavalry and reconnaissance cavalry are the best equipment. โ€

Selena explained her cavalry hierarchy in more detail, and she intended to equip the Scout Cavalry with the same light equipment as the regular army light cavalryโ€”the fastest horses, the best bows, and the lightest armor. The Scout Troopers will select the most capable mercenaries to join, and the number is estimated to be only twenty to thirty. These scouting horseback mercenaries must be able to take charge of the most important information even in the face of large forces, and then retreat.

The vanguard cavalry will select the most combat-capable and brave mercenaries to join, and the number can fluctuate, or it can be mixed with the elite cavalry, and then selected when they need to attack. These cavalry will act as the leader, leading all the elite cavalry in the charge or on some special mission.

As for the elite cavalry, most of them are mounted mercenaries, but Selena will nominally call them the core of the core of the potato mercenary group, increasing their self-confidence and false status. Their equipment is the most ordinary, but confidence and numbers are the fullest.

"Yes, the cavalry team is originally a luxury for the mercenary group, so that those elite cavalry who are actually ordinary horseback mercenaries will become stronger. "Patrick doesn't ride a horse much himself, but the grading system can be tried.

Fidel, however, noticed a problem: if the cavalry squadron received such a reinforcement and the others did not, it would be tantamount to favoritism. Since Selena said that she wanted to test it, the "Broken Leg Project" that will come soon is an opportunity to test whether the cavalry classification will achieve the effect of standing out.

Selena also offered to train the Scout and Vanguard cavalry, and then give Squad Leader Lukka full responsibility for the rest of the cavalry, so that it would be more efficient. Luca said he had no objections, and Fidel finally agreed to Selena's proposal. It has been a while since the original ideological training and cohesion building, and it is time to change the hierarchy, system and equipment, and change the potato mercenary group brick by brick.
