Chapter 22 The Dawn Conference

...

"His Majesty."

At this time, Knight Templar Landon advised, "The collective mutiny of the Third Patrol Regiment may not be hidden from Lu'an City for too long. In order to prevent Lu'an City from dispatching the Imperial Army, we must improve the equipment strength and strength of the Knight Templar and the Saint Guards as soon as possible."

"The leader is right." Templar Masi frowned, "But our team has just been built, and we have no experience in the Knights. What should we do when we train? What should we do when we eat, drink and chew? There are so many problems."

"It's okay to say that military pay is the loyal servants of our Lord. The temporary arrears of military pay will not affect morale. You can also find a way to eat by yourself. If you train, you can't get it in one step, so you can only practice slowly first." Another Templar Ian also analyzed, "But we lack equipment. It's okay to use the equipment of the Third Patrol Regiment to deter civilians. It's not enough to face Lu'an's regular troops."

Several Templars were all military. Knowing that the army was fighting, they could not only win by being high morale. High-quality equipment, rigorous training, clever tactical command, etc. would all affect the outcome of a battle.

He specializes in his profession. Catherine Nakata, the saint of Light, did not know enough about military affairs, so he asked Langdon: "Landon, do you have any good ideas?"

"The Knights Templar and the Saint Guard are both legions personally enfeoffed by our Lord. If the equipment is too shabby, it will indeed damage the majesty of our Lord, and the losses will increase when fighting." Langdon pondered, "But the problem is that we have no money."

He explained: "The previous batch of equipment has already spent all the money we have raised, but it is not enough."

Pastor Harry asked curiously: "How much does a set of leather armor cost?"

Langdon's face was heavy: "2 Silver Zacks."

"2 silver Zach?! Wouldn't that be 600 copper els?" Susan, who was a farmer girl, covered her mouth in surprise, "The Lord of Light is here, this is enough to buy 300 black bread!"

The currency circulating in the empire is divided into three types: Copper El, Silver Zach, and Jin Frank.

Jin Frank is named after the founding emperor of the Empire, Emperor Frank, and the same is true for silver coins and copper coins, which correspond to the famous Emperor El and Zach in the history of the Empire.

The exchange rate between Jinfrank, Silver Zack and Copper Elle is changing at any time. Currently, one Jinfrank can exchange about 60 Silver Zacks. Each Silver Zack can exchange another 300 Copper Elle.

Ordinary civilians basically only use copper El in their daily lives, and the two silver Zachs are already a lot of money. Susan's family has farmland and horses, and she is already considered a medium-sized free citizen. She was still shocked when she heard the price.

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

"This is already the cheapest." Templar Ian sighed, "This is just the most basic leather armor, sewing the tanned and specially treated leather. If it is the exquisite leather armor like the iron-clad one piece, one set will cost at least 10 silver zaks, and the mail is more expensive, and one set will cost 2 golden franks."

"And, a warrior doesn't have only leather armor," he added. "If you need to arm an infantryman, you also need to line the thick cotton armor, the outer cover of the felt robe, the combat boots, etc. The full set will be at least three or four silver Zacks."

This is just the most basic thing. If you want to arm a heavy infantry full of iron armor, you will need at least three to five Jinfranks. If you are arming a heavy cavalry, it will be even more expensive.

And equipment has a very big impact on strength.

Just like the mail worn by Nico, the commander of the Third Patrol Regiment, a level 1 warrior may not be able to cut through it even if he cuts hard with a knife. He is likely to be able to cut out one gap. Even if he is lucky, he will be removed by the mail, and at most he will leave a very shallow scar on the warrior, which will basically not affect his combat effectiveness.

But if you don't pierce armor, even if you are a level 3 warrior, you will suffer heavy injuries once you are hit.

So, if a unit wants to form combat power, it is really impossible to have no money.

After hearing his words, all the crazy believers were silent for a moment.

I really don’t know how expensive it is to be a boss. Even Catherine didn’t expect that weapons and armor would be so powerful.

In fact, even Wu Hui, who was listening on the side, did not expect that the weapons and equipment in this world would be so expensive?

But it's normal to think about it carefully.

The productivity of this world is still very backward, and most civilians can only support their families and barely live. Most of their wealth and resources are concentrated in the hands of the nobles.

Unfortunately, Wu Hui has no good solution for the time being. He lacks divine power and cannot create a batch of weapons and equipment for the believers.

This kind of thing can be included in Wu Hui's thinking scope in the future. If the believers can provide high-quality weapons and equipment, the strength of the believers' army can become stronger.

The conference room was silent for a while.

Harry, the trainee pastor, said carefully: "His Majesty, why don't we call on believers to donate or ask some nobles to donate?"

"No." Langdon opposed, "most of our believers have ordinary civilians and soldiers, and they have no savings. As for the nobles, they are all guys who eat people and don't spit bones, and they will sell our believers if they turn on their hands."

Whenever he mentioned the nobles, Langdon's face looked a little angry. The previous Monastery of St. Lu'an was defeated by several nobles and led private troops.

Today's Templars, Massi, Ian and Paul, were soldiers affiliated with Baron Gundyar a month and a half ago. Gundyar, his territory, was the closest to the Monastery of St. Lu'an, which was the monastery he led to attack.

Langdon's words made Maxi and others look guilty, but this guilt instantly turned into a more fanatical belief. They would use their blood and lives to prove their loyalty to the Lord of Light.

No one had any good ideas, so he could only focus on the Holy Maiden of Light. After all, she was the saint chosen by the great Holy Maiden of Light, and the representative of the Holy Maiden walking on the earth.

The Saint of Light pondered for a moment and said slowly and firmly: "There is money in Gru Castle, and Gundyar is rich. He is the culprit in the Monastery of St. Lu'an. He slaughtered many of our brothers and sisters, and also plundered the wealth accumulated in the monastery, which should be paid."

Langdon's expression changed and he hurriedly said, "His Majesty, are you going to attack Gru Town in Gundyar? Gru Town is not easy to fight, so please be careful with the Saint."

Masi's face was also very serious: "Gundyar is a baron of real power. The Gru Guard Regiment under his command is nominally a local legion, but in fact it is Gundyar's direct private soldiers. The weapons, equipment, organizational status and training are much stronger than the Third Patrol Regiment." Masi was once a private soldier under Gundyar and he still knows Gundyar's power.

"Not only that, Gundyar also enthroned three knights." Ian added, "The three knights are usually stationed in the Knight's territory, each supporting dozens of soldiers, and are very strong!"

"We can find a way to find a way to avoid money," Harry, a trainee pastor, also opposed. "We should continue to use the monastery as a base, secretly spread faith in the town of Gru and nearby villages, and regain believers."

Everyone opposed it. With their current strength, they could not defeat Gundyar at all, unless they asked my Lord Guang to come. However, as the knight and priest who were personally enthroned by My Lord Guang, if they asked my Lord to come every time they fought, what's the use of everyone?

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

These believers of his life are fanatical, but they are always thinking about him, the God of Light.

Although they are quite immature now, as long as they are slowly cultivated, they can gradually become useful talents. For gods like Wu Hui, the level of faith under their subordinates is more important.

If you lack abilities, you can develop it slowly.

"I understand everyone's concerns. This is also the second thing I want to say today." The saint of light, Catherine, swept across the audience with majestic eyes, "Last night, my Lord passed down."

oracle?!

Everyone's eyes lit up and they instantly left the topic of previous debate behind.

No matter how important those trivial matters are, can there be an oracle?

The six crazy believers immediately stood up and knelt in a row in front of the statue, with a fanatical expression: "I, Langdon/Harry/Susan/Massi/Ian... listen to the oracle."

Catherine slowly stood up straight, turned around and walked to the feet of the statue, with a solemn expression on her young face. The sun shone on her body, leaving mottled light and shadow on her body, rendering this moment particularly sacred and solemn.

"My Lord ordered that Gruburg is the gateway to the outside of the monastery and must be in his own hands."

Catherine's voice seemed to fall from the sky, and inexplicably brought a bit of sacred smell.

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

This is the saint, the saint who serves the true God and conveys the oracle for the true God, and the spokesperson for the God walking on earth.

"Abide by the will of my Lord God."

The six crazy believers immediately prostrated themselves, with extremely pious expressions and extremely fanatical.

They also attacked Gruburg, but this time, none of them raised objections, and no one even showed any hesitation.

God's will cannot be questioned.

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

"Okay~ Get up~"

After conveying the oracle, Catherine's solemn expression relaxed a little, raised her hand to signal everyone to stand up, and then said: "Next, let's discuss how to take down Gru Castle."

"Yes, His Highness."

The six people sat down at the conference table again, and I started discussing it in words. This time, no one mentioned how difficult it is to fight Gru Castle. Everyone was working together to find a way to overcome the difficulties that needed to be faced in the attack Gru Castle.

The sunlight shines into the room through the arched high windows, penetrates the air and illuminates the light and dust, imprinting this scene in time.

In later generations, this meeting was called the "Dawn Conference". The battle planned during the meeting was called the "Dawn Battle".

Later historians evaluated that the glory of the Holy Light Church began with this.

Wu Hui was also very satisfied with the meeting. Without him participating in the guidance tactics, the plan they finally came up with was pretty good.

At least, in his opinion, if you have a mental arithmetic or unintentional situation, the chance of success of this battle is very high.
Chapter completed!
