The horse began to get restless. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

They have the same intelligence as human children, they have their own hearts and emotions, and they are terrified when faced with threats and attack when they are angry.

In order to make the horses easier to control in Padrosi and other areas of animal husbandry, most of the stallions used for riding were geldings, except for the horse with the best pedigree for breeding.

If a horse weighing hundreds of kilograms is violent and uncontrollable, it is likely to be controlled by instinct and cause more damage to the rider if something happens.

As herbivores, horses have an instinct to turn around and run when they encounter a crisis. A good horse not only requires physique and stamina, but must also be trained at an early age to overcome this instinct to escape. Those who can stay by their master's side tamely and do not turn away and run away, and have the courage to rush towards the threat under the command of their master, are the top knight horses.

But as with human beings, courage is about trying to overcome fear when you know about a threat, not about being fearless out of ignorance.

They have been through a lot, whether it is Henry's party or the warhorses of the Imperial Knights, they have all been harassed and attacked by these abominable undead many times with their masters. Even if it is unspeakable, many horses are just as traumatized as humans.

"The gold team dismounts and walks. Constantine made a decisive decision, and it seemed a foolish decision to give up the advantage of a knight to give up his horse, but even if he had eaten enough recently once, it was not enough to recover the horse's fatigue for a long time.

The Padrossi-style war vest was heavy due to its size. Although the cost of a full body armor is about the same as a full body armor due to the lack of detail that needs to be refined, the steel used is nearly twice that of a full body plate armor.

This was one of the few weaknesses of the Imperial knights, who were highly dependent on logistical support due to their full load of nearly two hundred kilograms, including the knights and their armaments, and the fact that they needed a lot of forage to support them.

As long as there is a supply for two or three days, the war horse will not be able to fully exert its combat effectiveness. Not only that, but even a very docile gelding can begin to develop irritable emotions and disobey commands when they are unable to fill their stomachs.

The ancient city of Katigali is located on the edge of the Bao Forest, and although the total area of the city-state is not small, due to the disrepair and collapse and the overgrown vegetation, the place to put down needs to be carefully considered.

Although most of the surrounding area is less dense and has a better view due to the signs of biological activity all year round, it is built on the edge of the forest with a difference in elevation.

The area where Katigali is located is dozens of meters away from the woods a little lower below, and with the lush vegetation here, if you are forced to ride a war horse at this juncture, you will lose control and roll down the slope with one foot in the air, and you will be dead.

This is a typical multiple-choice question, and it is necessary to make a trade-off between combat effectiveness and control of the situation. Commanders throughout the ages have encountered it, and Konstantin's decision is relatively conservative and mature, showing his experience in this area.

To gain better control of the situation at the cost of reducing part of their combat capabilities, and to remove those factors that may lead to loss of control, precisely because there are too many unknowns in front of them.

There is a world of difference between the perception of an insider and a layman in this kind of place, such as Margaret, a noble lady who only likes to read adventure books, and the great commander in her heart is usually the kind of person who can win in danger and work miracles at the limit.

But as we have been saying, in fact all the right commander should do his best to avoid getting caught up in a situation where he is trying to win, so that the situation is always under control, minus the unstable. While some moves may seem impersonal, this ruthlessness and decisiveness is exactly what is necessary to become a celebrity.

There is a Lamanite proverb that says, "One will make ten thousand bones wither", and this so-called "ten thousand bones" is not all composed of the corpses of the enemy.

"Scattered, squad size. Konstantin himself, Mikhail, and several other knights of higher status remained on horseback to gain a higher view and command, and the knights who dismounted and walked on foot, with a sword on their left waist and a war hammer on their right waist, lowered their posture and walked forward step by step with spears in their hands.

They are divided into several squads that look out for each other in groups of 5 people, keeping a buffer between the battles and not being too far apart, so they can cooperate with each other.

"March!" was not a problem to stay stuck in the dense grass to the outskirts of the city of Katigali, and after the foot knights who were the vanguards had somewhat distanced themselves, Konstantin waved his hand and ordered the team behind to follow cautiously.

The reason for the high price of knightly horses was revealed at this moment, and these clever animals obediently followed the convoy under the command of the part of the Imperial knights who remained behind the palace. Although the riders were not on horseback, they did know how to follow autonomously, using their bodies in heavy vests as the outer guards of the group.

"Slowly-slowly-slowly!" The merchants' horses were much worse than the horses, and because they had not been able to eat for a long time and had to run around with heavy goods, they became very disobedient, and kept wanting to turn back and eat the horse grass that had been harvested and placed on the wagon.

The merchants had to put more effort into keeping these stubborn animals from getting out of control, and it was understandable how difficult it would be for a wagon to pull a cart of goods, especially in such uneven and overgrown terrain, to move in a careful formation, and after almost colliding with the Imperial knights guarding outside, there was a small ripple in the middle of this not very peaceful procession.

The knights looked through their visors, and although they couldn't see clearly because of the light, the merchants could still guess what they were thinking.

"What's the use of pulling such a large cart of goods? They couldn't help but think about it, and these large four-wheeled carriages were full of goods, which added up to hundreds of kilograms, and most of them brought all kinds of supplies and tools in order to preserve them as long as possible.

In the current situation of lack of food, it is necessary to let the horses pull such a large number of things that cannot be eaten, and there is no place in the wilderness to sell them for food, and they are reluctant to lose them, and if they do not lose them, they will slow down the march of the whole team, and naturally those noble knights have many opinions in their hearts.

Fortunately, no one is stupid enough to start arguing about such a thing in this situation, so despite some collisions that cause subtle friction. But they all pressed down in accord, and only quickly passed the edge of the high meadows and entered the bare vicinity of Katigali.

"Change to a double column. After entering the different terrain, Konstantin immediately ordered the team to make adjustments. In the past, in the dense grass, it was necessary to open a road while advancing, so a single column was the most convenient and fast, but when it came to this side, with a wider terrain, it was still shorter, and it was easier to protect the fighters without stretching such a long line.

The sluggish carriage took more time to adjust on the dirt floor, and while the men behind them regrouped their formation, Henry and Mira in front were doing what they did best.

They are watching.

We often say that any living thing - or anything tangible in the world - can never be at all detrimental to its surroundings as long as it is actually here.

The same is true for Warcraft, which can be analyzed and studied by the various details of the surrounding environment and how many animals live there.

And what kind of magical beasts live in this bare meadow under the sun, you can see it with a little observation.

Weeds are not completely trampled to the point where they cannot grow, they are so clean and uniform that they can only be gnawed. And the stout vines on the surface of the mottled city wall, more than a meter high, and the bare appearance below are also very different from the appearance of the leaves on them.

But the most obvious thing was the layers of imprints on the ground, and Mira furrowed her beautiful little eyebrows and whispered, "There are so many hoof prints." ”

Herbivorous Warcraft, according to the theory explained by Orno, is obviously the type that exists at the bottom of the Warcraft food chain and is also the type that initially began to mutate, and the rest of the Warcraft are about omnivorous and carnivorous beasts that feed on this type of Warcraft. So at first, everyone guessed that there would be such a herbivorous monster - but that didn't mean it was much safer.

In the far north of the east coast, Suomir has the world's largest deer, weighing more than 700 kilograms, with a banner of nearly two meters and a length of more than one meter and five giant horns, they can go berserk and knock a knight wearing full-body plate armor and cause a lot of injuries, and if you are not protected, you will die from a series of factors such as organ rupture, fracture and arterial rupture, excessive blood loss caused by internal bleeding, and so on.

We've mentioned over and over again how important size, physique, and tonnage really matter, but knowing how to settle here, having the ability to settle here, and having their offspring mutate into monsters by constantly eating plants directly affected by magic, such creatures must have a strong enough physique to defend their territory, in addition to being smart enough to judge what food is good for them.

And they don't have a good face for invading ghouls, and it is impossible for these uninvited human visitors to come in for the first time in more than 2,000 years with good intentions.

The team gradually moved forward, and the foot knights who stayed where they were finally in formation saw that their side had finally formed and began to move forward again. But this time, only a short distance had passed, and the knight who was the leader of the squad in the center let go of a hand holding a spear and clenched it into a fist and raised it.

"Stop, all on alert!" Konstantin quickly prepared for the striker's feedback, and he immediately turned back, first glancing at Henry, Mira, Ferruccio and Filippo, and then nodding at Mikhail.

They are all people who are engaged in combat professions, and they still have the professionalism to do what to do in such a situation. Mikhail stayed behind as a knightly lieutenant to guard the convoy with Moro and his other mercenaries, while the remaining five, including Konstantin himself, rode forward.

Constantine's own horses are naturally the best, and the remaining 4 horses are not covered with armor, so they are relatively energetic compared to the horses of other knights.

They drove forward as a coordinated escort for the Foot Knights, as the tonnage and physique of the demonic beasts that might exist in the local area might not be something that an infantry could deal with.

"Qiang-" But before they could catch up, there was a commotion among the knights in front of them, and several of them threw their spears directly, and then drew their swords, while many of the rest picked up their war hammers.

The piercing weapons, the bladed weapons, and the blunt weapons were combined with each other, and the knights were still extremely powerful even when they dismounted, and their judgment was swift and decisive - they changed their formation and became a horizontal formation, apparently to intercept some target.

"Huh-" And just as the five of them sped up and rushed forward, five or six ghouls covered in bright red blood rushed out from the other side of the main entrance to the ancient city of Katigali.

"The right flank engaged!" shouted the leading knight, even though everyone should have noticed, so that the others could understand the situation. The tenacious undead of 'Life Force' can still run hard even with a spear on their bodies, and our Mila is an eye-opener this time, just how different the methods used by knights in full armor in foot combat are from those of mercenaries.

The mercenaries' sword blocking and various other dodge moves are all centered around the concept of "not being hit", and the armor they pursue is also based on agility.

But knights and regular armies armed to the teeth could not have the same methods of fighting.

Arm armor will limit how much you can bend your arms, shoulder armor will prevent you from raising your entire hand, and cavalry full-face armor will largely obscure your view - so it's foolish to wear a full suit of heavy armor and avoid getting hit.

"Drink, ahhh

"Pang Qiang—!" The impact caused the armor to deform, but the knights, who had long been accustomed to it, did not fall or hesitate, but immediately began to fight these terrifying monsters that could tear ordinary people to shreds. They don't actually need a shield, and they don't need to dodge, because that reliable piece of armor is a shield with positive coverage.

Therefore, the method of foot combat for a knight who is really wearing a full set of heavy armor is to turn his body into a weapon and a shield.

Face the enemy head-on and be fearless.

"Column!" the knights on foot entangled the bloodied ghouls, and Constantine shouted, quickly closing the five horsemen, who were not long distances, changing into a formation as sharp as a Padrossi-style bayonet as they marched.

Sharp, but not fragile.

"Bang !!" like a crossed T-shaped horizontal, the swift cavalry like a thunderbolt directly slashed several ghouls with piercing belts and slashed them into serious injuries, and when they reached the front and turned their heads to contain the momentum to avoid rushing out of the clearing, the cavalry riders who retreated when they charged forward took another step forward, stabbed the ghouls with swords and spears, and then their companions smashed the back of their heads with war hammers, so that they were completely dusted and returned to dust.

It's neat and clean, without a hint of muddy.

With a reliable companion at the forefront, and perfect armor and coordination, the lowly ghoul has nothing to fear.

"Whew-"

But after solving them, before everyone had time to breathe a sigh of relief, their eyes were naturally attracted by the blood on the other side.

Ghouls' bodily fluids, which are black.

So the blood red on their bodies could only have come from other creatures.

“...... It's all dead. Mira muttered quietly.

What exactly are the demonic beasts that occupy this place, they know the bottom of it now.

Although there are many forests and wetlands in the southern part of the empire, there are still grasslands and the like in some areas.

Perhaps they lost their way because of the fog, and settled down here, and the scarred and dead creatures were impressively three snow-white horses.

The two large and one small looked like a family, and there were several ghouls lying around them who had no open wounds but were already silent, proving that they were not killed by chopping melons and vegetables, but this huge sun-drenched land that looked different from the dense forest behind it was full of life, but it was all bloody and drenched in death, and the strange sense of disobedience for a moment made people a little unacceptable.

"Don't relax, it's not over yet. But the situation clearly did not allow them to be sentimental here, and there were some voices of sooths again from the corner of the ancient city not far ahead, and the people had to pick up their weapons again.

"Ha-huh-" Because it was facing the sun, Mira couldn't see the way ahead, which was a bit bad for them, but the girl opened her mouth wide and took a deep breath, still slowly moving forward with the rest of the group.
