As Vincent had guessed, the fantastic creatures of the centaur had great advantages over regular cavalry in all aspects of the battlefield.

It's really in vain that I spent a lot of money to bring them from the grassland.

In order to verify this, Vincent also cheekily invited the cavalry of the church to conduct a cavalry confrontation exercise without the use of lethal weapons.

Both sides used wooden swords and spears and arrows without arrowheads, and fought in a large deserted area, refereed by the veteran knight Sir Malras and Schiff, who was proficient in ranger tactics.

The two sides fought from a distance of five miles, and it was the first time that the knights of the Church had encountered the centaurs, many of whom were amazed by the faces and statures of the female warriors, and made jokes that the men knew as they ran towards the centaurs, who had been slaves not so long ago.

Soon, they suffered enough in the face of the accurate shooting of the men and horses, although there was no metal on the arrow, but there were cloth bags wrapped in dyed substance, and as long as they hit them, they could see the hit.

The knights were constantly being hit by arrows, and those who were even the slightest ashamed knew that if they were really fighting, they might have died an unknown number of times.

And the arrows that hit the horse's body were also fatal, if the real arrows were enough to make the knight out of the battle.

No cavalryman's posture on a horse is likely to be more stable than that of a centaur warrior.

This is a group of veterans of a hundred battles who have traveled thousands of miles across the grasslands and attacked hundreds of small tribes, and when they deliberately kept their distance, they have been hanging the church cavalry and shooting all the arrows backwards, and the other party has been judged to have half quit.

In fact, if there had been such heavy losses, the cavalry would have scattered and fled long ago, and it would have been impossible to pursue them all the time.

Then, an even more terrifying scene appeared, a red wind galloped faster than anyone could have imagined, and the knights who had not yet reacted were knocked off their horses one by one with twin swords.

After the wooden knife broke, the red-maned centaur covered in steel-like muscles still did not stop, and continued to roar and rampage, directly pulling people off their horses and using them as blunt weapons to attack indiscriminately.

Where had the knights seen this kind of exercise, and no one dared to compete with this strange force, and dozens of cavalrymen were actually chased around by Jana alone, and Bishop Beckman, who spent a lot of money to fund the cavalry apologists, was dumbfounded.

Cana fought happily, and the reason why she didn't die was because the collar around her neck began to itch, which reminded her of the horror of being dominated by demons.

In addition, Vincent specially ordered the chief witch Prani to come to the scene to rescue the battlefield, which turned out to be very useful.

If several injuries are not healed in time, they will definitely be able to prepare for the future.

Sir Malrath was shocked and frightened, and his beautiful beard trembled until the end of the play, and Schiff persuaded him understandingly.

"My lord, I finally know why you have been praying, it turns out that the gods really bless the believers......

"What do you mean?" Sir asked, stretching his face, "You knew it beforehand, didn't you?"

"Golden Eagle knew she would win, but I didn't know she would show mercy." Schiff's answer made Jazz break his defense on the spot, "If it had been a year ago, any Skava would have dared to provoke in front of her, she would definitely have been trampled to death, and we would all call her the Prairie Plague......

"Then bring such a scourge to us?" Sir asked, frustrated, "How many other monsters are there in King Skava?"

"It's probably only 180,000, don't worry, they're all locked up by us, and they're not allowed to go out for a single step." Schiff replied with a hippie smile, "If it weren't for our men, they wouldn't be dead."

Sir Malras looked at the muscular centaurs, looked at Schiff again, hesitated for a long time, and then squeezed out a smile, and asked in a low voice with a red face.

"Please forgive my curiosity, but I really want to know how you ...... Well, how do you create offspring with them?"

"We're all horse-riding men!" Schiff blew one out of shame

Then whispered in Sir's ear, "Your gods are mighty, but we Skava witch doctors are also powerful, and have secret arts and potions to make us there...... You know, you can clean up and obey them."

Sir Malas, who was in a very bad mood, heard the secret magic and secret medicine, and his eyes immediately lit up, as if listening to the sound of the holy sound.

I don't know if it was because the old witch doctor of the steppe was powerful, or because people were getting older, Sir Marlath felt that the gospel of the gods had come to him.

If it weren't true, how could these small Lapped-Legged Scava people coexist with the centaurs?

"Scalva's friend, although Lauf is a devout believer, he does not exclude other believers, I have been confused for many years, hey, please take a step to speak......

"I know, I know, the Golden Eagle has helped a lot of people," Schiff said regretfully, "and today's result ......

"The gods testify, it must be the lord who won, but I am an upright knight who cultivates with the goal of becoming holy." Malras understood and immediately replied, "Let the young people suffer a little, and then they will learn how to fear their opponents and make up their minds to temper themselves."

"Doesn't this failure embarrass you? They're all your subordinates......

The old man has something more annoying than seeing this group of guys with low eyes!

Malras said helplessly in his heart that he couldn't put up anything in the face of this guy who had witnessed the defeat of his subordinates once before, but helped the cavalry team turn defeat into victory.

Admitting this failure is relatively easy for men, but it is too bitter to admit another failure.

Fortunately, this drill was carried out in secrecy, otherwise the face of the church cavalry would have been completely disgraced this time.

After receiving the news, Vincent was overjoyed, and personally visited Jana and his subordinates, and personally presented a flag painted with red heather.

This made Jana, who hadn't shown much real skills, happy and unhappy.

The cavalry here is really weak.

If she had used the kind of weapon invented by the lord and had enough ammunition, she would have been able to single-handedly kill the cavalry in the wilderness.

Still, Vincent was satisfied.

Forty-five horsemen could beat more than three times as many horsemen with their simple weapons.

In any country, cavalry is far more expensive to use than infantry, largely because people and horses need a lot of supplies, especially horses, which consume almost five times more than people, and need additional auxiliaries to take care of.

In order to maintain long-lasting combat effectiveness, each cavalry also needs to prepare a ready mount for transfer if possible, which further increases the logistical pressure.

The high remuneration of cavalry stems from the high cost of use, and ordinary people cannot afford to support war horses, so they basically have no chance to become cavalry.

Once the war began, the cost of the cavalry was often so large that it was a headache for the king, so the only way to reward the knights with fiefs was to support themselves with the fiefs, so as to ensure that they could raise their own military funds to serve the king when the war came.

It's just that the time and scale of the war are often difficult to control, and even knights with titles and fiefs can't fight endlessly for lords or kings.

After fighting for more than the agreed time, they will ask for more pay, or simply leave, after all, if they continue to fight, even if they do not die in battle, they will die poor.

Raising horses is also a high-cost technical job, and it is difficult for even wealthy lords to independently maintain a cavalry team of more than 100 people, and it is even more difficult to ensure the standardized training equipment of all knights.

In this other world, the so-called knights are like a club of nobles who usually stay in their fiefdoms and only get together when they have to recruit all the knights.

In the absence of a noble designation, a group of knights would improvise a leader based on their title and prestige, and then spend half a day wrapping themselves and their equipment, gathering with all kinds of equipment and banners, forming a battle queue and then a burst of pigs slammed into the enemy.

Tin cans are still the same kind of tin cans, but this world is not the same world.

If there is any difference between the combat mode of that group of people and the knights in Vincent's cognition, it is that they not only have strong martial arts and queue charge tactics, but also can get various spells from magicians.

With buff magic, elite knights become lighter, stronger, longer-lasting, more violent, and harder to catch when facing infantry.

Vincent thinks that if this group of guys and their magicians are thrown into the Middle Ages, it is estimated that the history of the world will be rewritten, after all, the way of playing cavalry and magic is too perverted, and it turns out that all the knights of that world will definitely be wiped out when they encounter it.

There are generally only two ways for demons to deal with this kind of tin cans with magic bonuses: use a stronger curse to cut them into a blank slate, or drown them with a larger number of undead creatures.

Unfortunately, neither of these two methods of combat, which proved to be effective, could be completely effective when applied to Vincent.

Compared with Vincent's small territory, the Herod Kingdom, which will not hurt its muscles and bones if it is impossible to lose tens of thousands of people, if you really want to play crowd tactics with him, it is definitely impossible for the little lord to smash the pot and sell iron.

As for the Lich Collective, which was strong enough to compete with the Magus on the other side, Vincent didn't either.

The mages who pursue Chaos, once they degenerate into lichs, the mage's strength will be directly downgraded, which is the price of gaining the power of Chaos.

Even Kant, the lich leader who used to be a magus, is now greatly weakened, and he can't use the forbidden spell anymore.

Not to mention those ordinary lich and necromancers who are not ranked in the dark Tallinn, it is okay to bully ordinary people in normal times, but if you really provoke the Herodians, and invite back the mages who are usually pampered in Genting City, even if it is just to help, Vincent's army will suffer heavy losses.

If the territory wants to develop and build, it must not be stumped by armaments, but if the armaments are neglected, one day the Herodians will accumulate strength and overwhelm the territory again, and Vincent will not have the good luck of last time.

By now, the mixed forces of the skeleton legion and regular monsters could no longer safely defend the territory, so Vincent definitely wanted to build a standing army with a limited scale, but far more effective than the kingdom's regular army.

In terms of the choice of troops, Vincent actually has no shortage of infantry to resist damage, what he lacks is cavalry that can move quickly - this is also a common problem of the demon army.

What kind of cavalry is the most suitable? Of course, it is an all-round cavalry with strong combat effectiveness, low combat cost, adaptable to various combat environments, and capable of various combat missions.

In Vincent's eyes, all the cavalry in the world actually did not meet the standard of all-round cavalry, either people were not qualified, horses were not qualified, and more people and horses were not qualified.

People are too fragile and horses are too clumsy, and when the two are combined, mobility goes up, the combat effectiveness is limited, and the cost rises exponentially.

The only exception is the Centaurs, a strange race.

In the case of Jana and her sisters, Vincent saw a very different result after a period of observation.

Compared with the cavalry unit composed of men and horses, the man-horse unit directly saves half of the establishment, and the cost of raising troops and fighting is greatly reduced.

Centaurs are also intelligent creatures, with a pair of dexterous hands, they can basically take care of themselves, as long as the venue is suitable and the materials are sufficient, they don't even need auxiliaries, and they can train themselves.

It doesn't cost anything, Vincent still has to squeeze money from this group of beautiful cavalry to feed back the territory construction.

So, a "horse race" was held on the outskirts of Silver Dragon Castle, and Vincent just let his men circle a circle several miles long, and painted the track with lime in it, which attracted a large number of admirers.

Two-legged demons have seen a lot, and four-legged centaurs are a rare species.

In view of the fact that many people missed the grand occasion of the "Flying Bird Competition" last time, as soon as the news came out this time, the whole city was sensational, and even people from far away came to watch.

The lord was very picky, and specially arranged the track under the hillside, so that people who came could stand on the hillside and watch down, and even save the seats.

Of course, if you are rich, you can also sit in the guest seat prepared by the lord and enjoy the lord's special at the same time

made carbonated sparkling drinks, while watching the centaur mother gallop on the track.

In such a humble temporary arena, Vincent is embarrassed to charge tickets even if he wants money, but tickets are just a little trick of price discrimination, and the real money still depends on selling horse tickets.

As a demon, the principle of small gambling is naturally familiar, Vincent specially gave different names to the people on the four runways, in addition to "Red Whirlwind", there are also a bunch of messy nicknames such as "True Red Lightning", "Red Comet", "Cyan Superstar" and so on.

A normal run for the centaurs has turned into a long-lost carnival for the people of Silver Dragon Castle, but they don't know the situation of the centaurs at this time, and many people don't bet on the "Red Whirlwind".

In terms of size, Cana is indeed not very large.

When Ninia, the No. 1 idol of Silver Dragon Castle, appeared on the field and waved the flag representing the start of the game, the four horses galloped away on the field at a speed beyond everyone's imagination, causing the audience to exclaim, and everyone became energetic under the stimulation of novelty and bets.

In fact, Jana was a little slower when she set off, and she was left behind by others, and she couldn't lift her energy, and she really didn't take this routine warm-up trot to heart.

Since the lord is happy, he is also idle, so let's play with him.
