"May Heavenly Father bless you, sir."

Richard looked at Lothar, who had passed him, and the team that he had thought was extraordinary earlier, and who had seen them fight today, and even more so that this was a rare elite army in the world—how long had this guy been in the Holy Land?

Even with the funding of many witches, it would be unthinkable to train such an elite division from scratch.

The captain of the earl guard, who followed by his side, frowned and said: "Even during the march, this army of Lothar is still in order, and the commander gave an order, even the confiscated booty was discarded, no wonder the lords of the East called Lothar a military training wizard." Your Majesty, it would be nice to get their drills. ”

Richard nodded in agreement: "Indeed, you are interested in this matter, and you will inquire privately after you go back." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at the little witch beside him again: "Martha, you have also seen this battle just now, how is the spellcaster next to our Lord of Lothar?" ”

Martha's delicate little face was full of seriousness, and she earnestly persuaded: "Your Majesty, I advise you not to be enemies of these lords, at least not until Her Majesty the Queen arrives." ”

Difference in profession makes one feel worlds apart.

Although Richard has mastered supernatural powers, he is not a true spellcaster like Martha.

The strength of a body is carried up by natural divine power, martial arts, magic potions, and treasures.

The combat power on the transcendent level may not be weak, and it can even kill many spellcasters with high spell attainments, but the eyesight is far behind. A powerful spellcaster is not only capable of casting devastating spells, but is often also a master of medicine, astronomy, astrology, alchemy, and more.

She was very suspicious that the dead army that appeared later had absolutely something to do with the cold-faced beauty beside Lothar, but she had no evidence, and if she broke it recklessly, she was worried that Richard and Lothar would clash again.

Moreover, she didn't think that a witch who casts necromancy is so sinful.

If you really want to count it, what spellcaster hasn't done anything to blaspheme the sacred?

Her Majesty the Queen alone is guilty of blasphemy against the dead.

In addition, the Marquis of Nalota had at least one Witch Jeanne, known as the Seraph, who could wield the Holy Spear, and a powerful assassin who could easily assassinate spellcasters who were stronger than her.

In this way, the Marquis of Lothar is simply a whole witch school by his side.

Richard sighed, "Of course I know this, otherwise I wouldn't back down." ”

How revered was he to be the king of Albion, and the sovereign of half of Gaul, who, after coming to the East, should yield to a small Germanic country lord one after another?

"If only I had an army of Rus, and with such an army, I would dare to lead the Crusaders all the way from Alexandria to Damascus."

Richard blushed.

The strength of this Saracen army is actually not weak, at least the combat effectiveness of the hundreds of equipped Mamluks is definitely comparable to the knights from Europe, and in terms of omnipotence, it is even inferior.

But in front of Lothar's army, he was as defenseless as a child.

Even if you look at the entire continent, this is a first-class hero, and besides, there are as many as a thousand people under the command of Lothar in an army like this!

Fuller said in a low voice: "Your Majesty's internal guards are not inferior to them, if all the internal guards are there, and the mounts are replaced by horses that they have drunk potions and have the same heart, they will be able to easily crush the enemy in this battle, even those dead cavalry." ”

Richard smiled bitterly: "Yes, but although the internal guard is strong, the number is too small, and it can only be used as a blade in battle, but it cannot directly crush the enemy like the cavalry of the Marquis of Lothar." ”

Although Richard's internal guards are not only these dozens of people, which is the limit of the teleportation array, but they add up to less than two hundred.

He couldn't help but think in his heart: If this soldier was really trained by Lothar, and not drunk by drinking medicine, it would be terrible.

"I heard that Anna of Constantinople concocted a thousand-strong team of potions for her empress, and on the battlefield of Sicily, she attacked the city and was invincible, killing the duke of the Ottville family.

The monarchs of Western Europe, in terms of financial resources, are still too inferior to their Eastern counterparts.

What's more, many of the ingredients used to make potions were expensive spices brought from the East, such as frankincense and myrrh, and many spells and rituals were used.

Although there are many materials that are difficult to find in the East in Western Europe, they are also difficult to find, such as "oak wood", "ghost brain" and "bad ghost tongue", which are difficult to sell at a high price on the one hand, and on the other hand, they can be sold at a high price, competing with the Eastern monarchs for financial resources, and the European monarchs have no chance of winning.

Fuller couldn't help but sigh: "After only a few years of hard work, the way of the world seems to have changed, is it possible to fight in the future, it is necessary for both sides to form military formations, let the spellcasters fight in front of the formation, which side is powerful, which side will win?" Mages or women are the majority, and when the time comes, will the knights be useless, and the lords will divide the territory to witches? Does the inheritance law also have to be changed to the inheritance system of the eldest daughter? ”

Martha frowned and said, "If it's a normal spellcaster, if it's not a last resort, who wants to fall into the military formation and help people fight?" The wizards invited by Her Majesty the Queen helped to mix and concoct potions, and it was good to study the classics, but if they were to go to war, they would turn around and run. Moreover, Count Fuller, the caster is not a cabbage, and he can't just find a peasant woman to be it. ”

Wizards spare their lives, if they are not deeply bound, or if they think too highly of themselves, where will they easily fight for the secular monarch?

Richard thought for a moment and sneered: "But Count Fuller is right, the way of the world has indeed changed—since the emperor of the Hohenstaufen family installed the first wizarding tower in Aachen. ”

Richard knew these spellcasters well, although most of them lived in isolation, but it was definitely not out of his own heart, but just his life.

Being able to hide in a splendid palace, with people serving you for food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and what spell casting materials you want, who wants to offer them, how can anyone want to live that kind of savage-like life? The caster is also a human being, and if you are a human being, you can't get rid of human nature!

The power and wealth wielded by secular monarchs is definitely not something that can be ignored by spellcasters.

Besides, no matter how strong the caster is, sometimes, all it takes is an arrow made of demonic gold to kill them.

In theory, although the caster is strong, it is by no means invincible, and it is impossible to replace the knight class.

Richard got up and said to Fuller: "In short, we have to take this battle as a warning, these Saracens have been bullied by Lothar with their extraordinary powers for so long, and they should have a long memory, but I didn't take this into account, it was my negligence." Today, too, I should have been pressed against by Nalota. ”

Richard thought that he had indeed underestimated the Saracen Lords before.

After all, the image of the Saracens who are not good at fighting is actually ingrained in the eyes of the Franks, and they usually outperformed the Crusaders, mostly because of their superiority in numbers, or by taking advantage of the geographical advantages.

In addition, the spellcaster in the East is indeed not famous, and on the transcendent level, that is, a Levantine wizard association is barely in his eyes, but he never thought that today he is just a small Saracen lord who is not famous, and he not only has an elite cavalry under his command, but also a spellcaster who is not weak to help.

In this way, wouldn't Saladin even have to match up with a few legendary spellcasters?

Fuller suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, what do you think of our soldiers? ”

Looking up, the unruly crusaders, who were eager to capture the enemy city and plunder, saw that the fat that was about to be eaten by Lothar was not demoralized, but they were excited that Lothar's army had given up a lot of loot and it was all owned by them.

"The Saracens are rich, and I have stripped a full suit of armor from a dead man, and I only need to find an armorer to transform it, and I can keep it for myself."

"The cavalry of the Marquis of Lothar is really powerful, could it be that what those legends say is true?"

"Looks like it probably is!"

"Today, we've fought against the army of the dead, and I cut off the head of a skeleton with my own hands, so if so, am I also a witcher-like character?"

"Yes, that's right, we've killed a lot of dead armies, and I've stuck a cross into the eye socket of a corpse demon, like a demon hunter like Van Helsing!"

The soldiers were full of excitement and discussion, and their hands and pack animals were full of booty, but there was little damage, in fact, it was a lot of gains, that is, Richard's spirit was too high, and he couldn't look down on the benefits of this bit of booty.

In fact, he didn't lose at all!

"Witcher?"

Richard was a little baffled, he had heard of witchers, but they were just a group of poor people who sealed demons in their bodies and barely used them to gain a wisp of extraordinary power, and they didn't live long in this business.

As a result, even the Witcher has had some powerful roles, but he has never been taken seriously by mainstream spellcasters.

These unruly embryokillers, don't want to be a lord, sir, how can they say that they have lifted a witcher who rarely haunts Western Europe to the sky?

Fuller explained: "Your Majesty does not know, there is a storybook in the East that has been very popular lately, and the dead cavalry that appeared after the end of the day is very similar to the 'Wild Hunt' cavalry described in the story, and they hunted down those undead armies and disappeared. Therefore, the soldiers felt that this storybook was not just a storybook, and that the plots described in it were probably true. ”

"Storybooks?"

Richard frowned: "It's really possible." ”

In Western Europe, many legends are not groundless, King Arthur, the sword in the stone, and the fairy in the lake are all the rage, and the bard's bad script has not been confirmed by him?

"Let's go, go back to Damietta, Martha, let's both study this so-called storybook."
