[Chapter 22: Dawn Conference]

…

“Your Highness the Holy Maiden.”

At this time, Templar Langdon remonstrated, “I am afraid that the collective mutiny of the Third Patrol Regiment will not be hidden from Luan City for too long. In order to prevent Luan City from mobilizing the imperial army, we must send the Holy Spirit as soon as possible.” The strength of the equipment of the Knights Templar and the Holy Maiden Guards can only be improved.”

“The leader is right.” The Templar Masi frowned, “But our team has just been established, and the few of us can’t help it.” Without the experience of leading a knight order, what about training? What about the military salary? Where do you get the food and drink? There are a lot of problems.

” It will affect morale, and food can also be figured out by yourself. After all, training can’t be done in one step, so we can only practice slowly.” Another Templar, Ian, also analyzed, “But we lack equipment. The equipment of the Third Patrol Regiment is good enough to intimidate civilians, but it is not enough for the regular troops in Upper Luanna.” The Templars

were all from the military, and knowing that the army was fighting, they could not only rely on their high morale. win. High-quality equipment, rigorous training, clever tactical command, etc., will all affect the outcome of a battle. There is a specialization in art, and Catherine, the Holy Maiden of Light, doesn’t know enough about military affairs, so she asked Langdon, ” Langdon

, do you have any good ideas?”

The shabby equipment of the legion personally ordered will indeed damage the majesty of our lord, and the losses will increase in battle.” Langdon pondered, “But the problem is that we have no money.” He explained: “The previous batch of

equipment We’ve already spent all the money we collected, but it’s not enough.”

Pastor Harry asked curiously, “How much is a set of leather armor?”

Langdon’s complexion was serious: “Two silver zaks.”

“Two silver zaks?! Isn’t that 600 copper el?” In fact, this is enough to buy 300 black bread!”

There are three types of currency in circulation in the empire, copper el, silver zak, and gold frank.

Gold Frank is named after Frank the Great, the founding emperor of the empire, as are the silver coins and copper coins, which correspond to the famous El Great and Zac the Great in the history of the Empire respectively.

The exchange rate between Gold Frank, Silver Zak, and Copper El is changing at any time. Currently, one Gold Frank can be exchanged for about 60 Silver Zak. Each Silver Zac can be exchanged for 300 Copper Els.

Ordinary civilians basically only use copper el in their daily life, and 2 silver zaks are already a lot of money. Susan’s family has farmland and horses, and they are considered middle-class free citizens. They were still shocked when they heard the price.

But a good set of leather armor can save lives at critical moments, so how could it be cheap?

“This is already the cheapest.” Templar Ian sighed, “This kind of leather armor is just the most basic leather armor that has been tanned and specially treated. A set of exquisite leather armor with iron sheets costs at least 10 silver zacks, and lock armor is more expensive, and a set costs 2 gold Franks.” “

Besides, a warrior doesn’t just need leather armor.” He added Said, “If you need to arm an infantry, you also need a thick cotton armor lining, a felt robe outside, combat boots, etc., and a complete set will cost at least three or four silver zaks.” This is only the most basic, if you want

to Arming a heavy infantry with full body armor requires at least three to five gold franks. If it is armed with a heavy cavalry, it is even more expensive.

As for equipment, the impact on strength is really very, very large.

Just like the chain armor worn by the leader of the 3rd Patrol Regiment, Nico, a level 1 fighter may not be able to cut through it with a knife, and there is a high probability that he will only be able to make a gap, even if he is very lucky. If it is worn, most of the strength will be removed by the chain armor, and at most it will leave a very shallow scar on the warrior, which basically does not affect the combat effectiveness.

But if you don’t wear armor, even if you are a level 3 fighter, once you are hit, you will still suffer serious injuries.

Therefore, if an army wants to form combat effectiveness, it really can’t do without money.

After hearing his words, all the fanatics fell silent for a while.

It’s true that if you are not in charge of your family, you don’t know how expensive firewood is. Even Katharina didn’t expect that weapons and armor would cost so much.

In fact, even Wu Hui, who was listening on the sidelines, never imagined that weapons and equipment in this world would be so expensive?

But it’s normal to think about it.

The productivity of this world is still very backward, and most civilians can only support their families and make ends meet. Most of the wealth and resources are centralized and controlled in the hands of the nobles.

It’s a pity that Wu Hui doesn’t have a good solution for the time being. He lacks divine power, so he can’t conjure up a batch of weapons and equipment for the believers.

This kind of thing can be included in Wu Hui’s thinking range in the future. If the believers can be provided with high-quality weapons and equipment, the strength of the army of believers can be made stronger.

The meeting room was silent for a while.

The trainee pastor Harry said cautiously, “Your Highness, why don’t we call on believers to donate, or find some nobles to donate?”

“No.” Langdon objected, “Most of our believers are ordinary civilians and soldiers, with no savings. As for the nobles, well, they are all cannibals, who will sell our believers if they change hands. “

As soon as nobles were mentioned, Langdon’s face became a little angry. The former St. Luan Abbey was attacked by a few nobles who united and led a private army.

The current Templars, Marcy, Ian, and Paul, were soldiers belonging to Baron Gundel a month and a half ago. As for Gund Yar, the town of Gru, his territory, is the closest to the Saint Luan Monastery, and it is the monastery he took the lead in attacking.

Langdon’s words made Marcy and the others feel guilty, but this guilt turned into a more fanatical belief in an instant. They will use their blood and lives to prove their loyalty to the Lord of Light.

Everyone didn’t have any good ideas, so they could only focus on the Holy Maiden of Light. After all, she is the saint appointed by the great lord of light, the representative of my lord walking in the world.

The Holy Maiden of Light pondered for a while, and said slowly and firmly: “There is money in Gruberg, and Gundlair has money. He is the chief culprit who broke the St. Luan Monastery, slaughtered many of our brothers and sisters, and also searched and robbed us. We should pay the price for losing the wealth accumulated by the monastery.”

Langdon’s expression changed, and he said hastily, “Your Highness, are you planning to attack Gru Town in Gundiyare? Gru Town is not easy to fight. Be careful, girl.”

Marcy’s face was also very serious: “Gundyar is a baron with real power, and the Gru Guards under his command are nominally a local army, but in fact they are directly under Gundyar’s private soldiers, weapons and equipment. The conditions and training are much better than those of the 3rd Patrol Regiment.” Marcy used to be a private soldier under Gund Yar’s command, and he had a fairly good understanding of Gund Yar’s power.

“Not only that, but Gundial also conferred three knights.” Ian added, “Those three knights are usually stationed in the knight’s collar, and each has dozens of soldiers, which are very powerful!”

“If you are short of money, you can slowly find a way.” The trainee pastor Harry also objected, “We should continue to use the monastery as our base, and secretly spread the faith in Gelu Town and nearby villages slowly, and recover believers.” Everyone objected one after another

. With the current strength, he can’t beat Gund Yar at all, unless the Lord of Light is invited to come. But as knights and priests conferred by our lord of light, if we invite our lord to come down every time we fight, what use is there for everyone?

Wu Hui, who was listening to the meeting, felt very relieved.

These believers of him are fanatical, but they are thinking about him, the god of light, everywhere.

Although they are quite immature now, as long as they are cultivated slowly, they can gradually become useful talents. For a god like Wu Hui, the belief level of his subordinates is more important.

Insufficient ability can be cultivated slowly.

“I understand everyone’s concerns. This is also the second thing I want to talk about when I call everyone here today.” The majestic eyes of Catherine, the saint of light, swept across the audience, “Last night, my lord passed down an oracle.”

God Order? !

Everyone’s eyes lit up, and they immediately forgot the topic of the previous debate.

No matter how important those trivial matters are, how important is an oracle?

The six fanatics immediately stood up and knelt in a row in front of the statue, with frantic expressions on their faces: “I, Langdon/Harry/Susan/Marcy/Ian…listen to the oracle.” Katharina said slowly

. Standing up slowly, he turned around and walked to the foot of the statue, with a solemn expression on his young face. The sun poured down on her body, leaving mottled light and shadow on her body, making this moment extraordinarily sacred and solemn.

“My lord has decreed that Gruberg is the monastery’s external gateway, and it must be in your own hands.”

Katharina’s voice seemed to fall from the sky, inexplicably carrying a somewhat sacred flavor.

At this moment, the aura of her whole body rose to the extreme unconsciously, and a breath of sacred light spread out, echoing with the statue of light behind her, faintly, as if there was some kind of connection.

This is the saint, the saint who serves the true god, conveys the oracle for the true god, and the spokesperson of the god walking in the world.

“Follow my lord’s will.”

The six fanatics immediately threw themselves to the ground, their expressions extremely pious and fanatical.

It was the same attack on Gruberg, but this time, none of them raised any objections, and no one even showed the slightest hesitation.

The will of God cannot be questioned.

The only thing they have to do is to do their best to complete it.

“Okay~ Let’s all get up~”

After conveying the oracle, Katharina’s solemn expression relaxed a little, she raised her hand to signal everyone to stand up, and then said: “Next, let’s discuss how to take down Fort Gru “

“Yes, Her Majesty the Holy Maiden.”

The six sat down at the conference table again, and we started discussing with each other. This time, no one mentioned how difficult Gruberg was to fight, and everyone was working together to find a way to overcome the difficulties that Gruburg needed to face.

Sunlight spills into the room through the arched high windows, penetrates the air, and illuminates the dots of light and dust, imprinting this scene in time.

In later generations, this meeting was called the “Dawn Conference”, and the battle planned in the meeting was called the “War of Dawn”.

According to the evaluation of later historians, the glory of the holy and bright Holy See began from this.

Wu Hui was also very satisfied with this meeting. Without his participation in guiding tactics, the plan they finally came up with was not bad.

At least, in his opinion, the chances of success in this battle are very high if there is mental arithmetic but no intention.
