Xiao Xiuning was slightly surprised upon hearing this.
It should be noted that the Trapped Camp was already the most elite fighting force in the world. Xiao Xiuning could not even imagine that there were any soldiers stronger than them, let alone cavalry.
The lack of horses in Dali was a predicament faced by all dynasties in the Central Plains.
"Training such an elite force must have required a considerable investment."
Mu Zian nodded in reply.
"That's right. A qualified special forces soldier must not only be skilled in archery and horsemanship, but also be able to take on ten enemies at once. Only in this way can he survive in extremely harsh environments."
"Special forces are like a surprise force, operating day and night, capable of turning the tide of battle at crucial moments."
As the king of field battles on the ancient battlefield, it would cost at least thirty taels of silver a year to train a cavalryman.
According to Mu Zian's plan, it would cost at least one hundred taels of silver a year to train a special forces soldier.

Although his thoughts had been exposed, Mu Zian nodded frankly.
Xiao Xiuning once again looked thoughtful, as if she was struggling with a decision.
Seeing this, Mu Zian scratched his head awkwardly.
"This matter isn't actually in a particularly urgent situation."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Xiuning looked up and said...
"Over the years, the Imperial Clan Court has paid me about five million taels of silver in salary. Add to that the land deeds and shops under the Princess's name, as well as the gold, silver and jade artifacts that my father has given me as gifts. I should be able to scrape together ten million taels for you."
Mu Zi'an: ? ? ? ? ! ! ! !
Just as Mu Zian was in a daze, Xiao Xiuning said with a smile.
"However, the name 'Special Forces' is a bit too straightforward."
"Since this special forces unit operates by day and night, unlike the marching system..."
"How about we call it 'Night Scout'?"
