Chapter 188 The first night after returning home, I felt really good, and I missed my relatives every festive season.
Armor and weapons are also consumables, so even the Marquis of Fell can only take the elite Knights of the Bones, as for the infantry can get the bow and crossbow, it is already a very good treatment, and many warriors are still wearing leather armor, only ordinary long swords in their hands, not even shields.
Some lords, in addition to piecing together a few or a dozen soldiers themselves, also hired mercenaries in their own ranks like Xiu Yin, after all, the king's assembly order, if they were a little lazy, I am afraid they would stay in Starlight City forever.
Originally, Xiu Yin thought that he might be the most shabby combat power, but what he didn't expect was that when Hans, Charlotte, and the twelve mercenaries were all dressed in Moffitt's specially improved iron light armor, their troops walked in the large army, and they were constantly attracting the attention of the surroundings.
Many people even speculated about which knights this was, and whether they were walking because there were not enough horses.
The neat armor, except for the battle axe used by Charlotte, the thirteen people all have big swords diagonally stuck in their backs, which is extremely windy.
However, as their eyes wandered over the bodies of the thirteen people, when some of the lords saw the left front chest of their armor, the three-color triangular emblem made these lords directly stunned.
The Neumanns?!
Bernaventura IV and the Marquis of Fairs also saw it.
Especially the Marquis of Fair, his face became ugly directly, those twelve people were from the Blood Eagle Mercenary Group, he went to them and told them that he had already been commissioned, but he didn't expect that it was Xiu Neumann who hired them.
In addition to the Marquis of Fair, a group of cavalry in the other direction also looked at Xiu Yin slightly stunned.
"Irvin actually came out too, and he made it clear before that he would not accept any commission, nor would he listen to the boss's dispatch, what is going on?"
"Hmph, it's just a bunch of old guys, we are the main force of the Blood Eagle Mercenary Regiment, this time we want to let those big forces on the continent take a good look at the strength of our Blood Eagle Knights!"
The team of cavalry who spoke was the cavalry of the Blood Eagle Knights, who could be active in the Star Lake Kingdom and as the most powerful mercenary organization, the Blood Eagle Knights played a decisive role.
The leader of the mercenary group, the furious shadow of Reano, was following behind the lord of Yunlai Town, Marquis Ferdinand, and the client of the Blood Eagle Mercenary Group was none other than Marquis Ferdinand.
Raging Shadow Reano's gaze also skimmed over Irven and them, but he snorted softly in his nostrils and didn't say anything.
......
The news of the 20,000 troops sent by the Motu Empire also came, and in such an era, the speed of rumors was often faster than imagined.
"Twenty thousand!" Xiu Yin patted his head, this may only be one-tenth of the strength of the Motu Empire, but for their Starlight Kingdom, it is undoubtedly disastrous.
If the Starlight Kingdom is given some more time, the Starlight Kingdom's combat power may reach 50,000 people, because it can launch some more mobilization and forge or buy new equipment.
However, it doesn't make much sense to do so.
War does not have an advantage over a large number of people, and it also depends on the proportion of soul ability in the army.
At this point, Xiu Yin has already seen some clues.
As a mage who cultivates spiritual power, Xiu Yin's observation has been trained well, and from the walking movements of some of the soldiers he has seen, especially the walking steps that many people are extremely close to and the breathing rate after walking for such a long time, Xiu Yin guessed that the soul power level of ordinary warriors should be about level 10 or a little higher.
Looking at the knights of those cavalry teams from a distance, the soul power level should be slightly higher, probably around level 15.
As for the old acquaintances Zhuo Erlin that Xiu Yin saw, Xiu Yin guessed that their strength was at least above level 25.
However, in the team, ordinary people with particularly low soul power or no soul power still occupy the majority, and these people can hardly be called any combat power in front of soul ability, especially in close contact.
The number of people determines the base number of soul powers, and in the Starlight Kingdom, the soul people who are committed to glory and dreams are probably the same people who are heading to the border.
And according to the population of the Motu Empire, they can send an army of 20,000 people who are soul powers.
"If that's the case, it's horrible!"
Thinking of this, Xiu Yin couldn't help but shudder, if there were 20,000 people with all soul ability, there would be no need to fight this battle.
Xiu Yin trembled at the same time, and in the shaking of his eyes, he saw a person.
Melissa, a disciple of the chief court mage Jessica Cana, has not seen each other for a long time since returning from the Mage's Tower.
Melissa in the distance saw that he was trembling when she saw him, but when he was afraid, she snorted disdainfully and then turned her eyes sideways, not looking at Xiuin.
Seeing Melissa only surprised Xiu Yin, but when Xiu Yin's gaze swept over the people around Melisa, Xiu Yin was a little surprised.
A team of about twenty magicians, including Jessicana, knew that Master Sean was not with him, he and the head of the Knights of Starlight were guarding the safety of the royal capital, and Bernaventur IV did not want a fire in the backyard during the battle ahead.
However, this team of more than 20 mages still amazed Xiu Yin, this is probably the magician army taken by the Starlight Kingdom, and the magicians in peacetime may be gradually forgotten by people, but if they are in war.
Xiuin suddenly remembered the vision he had seen in the moment he came into contact with Sharmie, an unforgettable forbidden arcane.
"If it's a team of more than 20 mages, it shouldn't be a problem to unleash a large-scale magic......" As a subconscious paranoia about mages, Xiu Yin thought at this time that it would be fine if he could have a mage army......
At the front of the procession of more than 20,000 people, Bernaventura IV sat in a chariot dressed in custom-made armor.
This is the first time Xiuin has seen the "tank" of this era, and it is somewhat different from the ancient chariot in his memory, because this era already has the power of steam engines and soul crystals, and the chariot that the king rides in does not need the pull of horses, and completely relies on the power of the mixture of steam and soul crystals.
The sound of the "rumbling ......" came from this chariot, and behind it was a large ballista with large crossbow arrows of two positions.
"Stop!"
When the afterglow of the setting sun began to turn yellow, and the troops in front finally stopped, Xiu Yin quickly jumped off his horse and rode his horse for a long time, and Xiu Yin felt that his ass was about to become two.
The tents were erected one after another, and the first night of Xiuyin's certificate with the army also followed.
