Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Chapter 1016 278: The Crusaders' Expedition and the System Prompt Ringing in Players' Ears (10K)

[I think I might have guessed what Brother Kael wants to do!]

[My Great Tree of Infinity]'s words quickly drew the attention of many.

He didn't intend to hide anything and shared the conversation he had with Kael earlier.

In a moment, the already lively comment section became even more bustling at a visible speed.

It was evident that Kael already knew the operation rules for players posting missions. This mysterious setting, seemingly breaking the fourth wall, was quite intriguing.

Judging by the current situation, it seems there's a special reason behind the Lancaster Territory's mission system releasing such reward-less missions, rather than indicating future issues in Lancaster Territory's mission structure.

With this thought, amid the players' heckling, some disappointed, some ecstatic, the atmosphere of "truly worthy of the First Newbie Village" marked the end of this farce on the Player Forum.

...

On the other side, within Lancaster Territory.

With the conscription order issued, a portion of the citizens gradually joined the ranks of the auxiliary troops.

Strictly speaking, entities like noble private soldiers often fell short in organization and equipment compared to regular armies. Even for Rangers, their standard equipment relied more on the armor formed by the Gluttonous Slime rather than directly produced armor.

After all, ordinary armor in terms of defense capability was not even as useful as the armor of the ever-changing Gluttonous Slime.

This being the case for Rangers, there's even less to say about auxiliary troops.

Kael knew well, auxiliary troops were more about ensuring the logistics would proceed orderly without supply cuts rather than becoming direct participants on the frontline.

They might indeed go to the frontline, but any commander who has fought a battle knows not to have high expectations for the combat capabilities of these under-trained auxiliary troops.

Strictly speaking, in normal circumstances, Lancaster Territory's Rangers would not know strategy or tactics either, as they are more akin to noble private soldiers compared to regular army, not significantly stronger than auxiliary troops.

However, the current survival environment in Lancaster, and the exploration of the Dungeon, forced these blood-soaked Rangers, under the influence of past audacious battle records, to prove their strength with enemy blood as the territory required.

Wrapped in the current trend, even if not considering strength, the combat quality of this Ranger corps has been elevated.

Now, Kael offered them a new opportunity.

From a fundamental nature, the Shadow Garden is not considered regular soldiers, hence they can disregard these factors.

Elf Rangers and the Infiltrator Corps have already been through the tempering of war and do not need special training of combat quality in this large-scale war as a top-notch corps.

Only the Rangers in Lancaster Territory, who still make up the largest number, need to experience this kind of feeling more.

The number of Lancaster's formal Rangers has exceeded eight thousand, a corps equipped with mounts and a comprehensive challenge level surpassing LV9, has clearly begun to approach the limit of what is commonly understood as a conventional lord's recognition.

Needless to say, the "Scourge of God" that swept through Eurasia was once recognized as the most powerful army in world history.

Back then, Genghis Khan led this formidable force, sweeping across the Eurasian Continent, instilling fear in countries across the world.

If not for the fact that this army had to halt its relentless march due to acclimatization and logistical cut-off from long-distance travel, no one could dare to imagine the horrifying massacre they could have unleashed globally.

However, this cavalry, adorned with the title of "Scourge of God," numbering around twenty-five thousand.

They had experienced many wars and inherently possessed more mobility than ordinary armies, as Light Cavalry, especially emphasizing battlefield command.

This enabled those nerve-wracking Light Cavalry, even if small in scale, to rise easily among the major forces at the time with ultra-fast marching speed and horse archery capability.

In their western expedition, the force deployed was around eighteen to twenty-two thousand.

These Light Cavalries fought fiercely, skilled in volley shooting on horseback as they grew up on horseback. They generally did not attack city fortifications in warfare; instead, they relied on agility, quickly bypassing major cities, besieging and pillaging surrounding areas as reserves.

During combat, they barely considered the supply of provisions and food, with the sole focus on advancing, advancing, advancing!

At the peak of light cavalry, this courage of fighting desperately proved invincible for other forces trying to confront them on the ground unless they had an overwhelming number advantage, eight times or more, using human wave tactics to crush this determined cavalry. Otherwise, being tactically pierced through was a terrifying military threat.
