People in the middle ages, draw cards to get promoted

Chapter 51 Wing Cavalry Commander

Yogurtsburg, which had been silent for a long time, has ushered in the busiest moment in recent years.

Ever since the borders of the Kingdom of Jerusalem expanded eastward to the territory of Count Leonard of Jordan, this place has never regained its original splendor.

Arms were depleted and soldiers were transferred.

Funds are reduced again and again.

The weather-beaten, mottled and withered walls, like veterans guarding the border, are gradually aging and falling into pieces.

The newly arrived armored soldiers, led by veterans of Yogurtsburg, were familiar with the situation in the castle.

Some people have already taken off their armor and begun to tidy up their residences and repair dilapidated houses that have been uninhabited for a long time.

Hans hung Lothar's flag on the top of the castle tower.

The black eagle and the Jerusalem Cross stand side by side, fluttering in the wind.

Lothar opened the system's building bar. Except for the Lord's Hall, all the building slots were dim and he needed to draw a building card to unlock them.

He took a rough look and saw that there were infantry barracks, cavalry barracks, skirmisher barracks, siege equipment factories, blacksmith shops, towers, castles, stables, and ports.

Everything you need.

At this time.

The system's prompt sounds: The special prop "Hussar's Swallowtail Flag" has been detected, which can be used to unlock the special building "Hussar Barracks".

Hussars Barracks: You can train an ordinary cavalry into a special unit, Hussars, every day. The training cost is fifty Suleders gold coins.

As a special unit, when your highest actual title is baron, the upper limit of hussars you can train is 50, 100 for count, 150 for duke, 300 for king, and 500 for emperor.

Hussars: elite cavalry equipped with lobster helmets and half-body plate armor. They are armed with hollow lances made of fir wood, as well as sabers, broadswords, armor-piercing swords, war hammers and other close combat weapons. Behind the armor, there will also be an eagle.

The double-wing decoration is used to prevent hacking from behind and deter the enemy. (Due to the era correction, the short-barreled muskets equipped by the Hussars have been removed)

Activation Milestone: Winged Cavalry Commander: You have at least fifty winged cavalry serving for you [0/50].

"Can I use props to unlock buildings?"

Lothar frowned.

The Swallowtail Flag of the Hussar, as an artifact that can increase the impact speed of the cavalry unit by 20%, is enough to make him, an ordinary person, become the top cavalry commander.

Moreover, this is also an important prop for dealing with nomadic cavalry who are good at riding and shooting.

It allows the heavily armored cavalry to quickly catch up with the cavalry archers who are harassing the formation in a short sprint, and can also achieve its strategic goals faster.

No matter what era it is in, mobility is the greatest reliance of cavalry, bar none.

If Lothar goes to Jerusalem to serve as the cavalry commander, he will play an extremely important role in the battle with Saladin's Mamluk cavalry.

But the problem now is that Lothar does not have his own cavalry unit.

Even if the Royal Knights commanding Jerusalem achieve brilliant results, how many people think that the credit can be attributed to Lothar?

They would only think that the royal knights had divine help and God's blessing, so their horses could run so fast.

Lothar hesitated, but decided to use it.

No matter how rare the hussar's swallow-tail flag is, sooner or later it will be replaced by a new prop.

He has to seize the moment.

Only if one's own strength is strong enough - even if it is only strong enough on paper - can one seize the maximum benefit when the kingdom is in turmoil.

This benefit can also help you complete milestones and create a virtuous cycle.

This is why Lothar spared no expense to build an army of armored sergeants.

Let’s not mention whether it can be used. At least it should look good and be able to scare people.

However, although the idea was finalized, Lothar did not plan to build the winged cavalry barracks and the Lord's Hall immediately.

He had no idea how much noise there was during construction.

It was created out of thin air by the shaking of the earth and the mountains.

A construction team will still visit the castle and build it step by step.

Although in this extraordinary world, even if it is really created out of thin air, it is not unexplainable.

But he decided to wait until everyone was asleep before starting construction at night.

Lothar took Prajna and Fringilla into the inner castle.

This is a three-story fortress that stands out like a flock of chickens in the Yogurt Castle.

Although it looks a bit dilapidated, it can still be seen that the condition of the inner fort is much better than that of the outer fort.

Probably when construction started, the lord of Jorgelusburg used all the best stones on the inner fortress to protect his property and life.

The hall on the first floor is quite spacious. There is a Jerusalem cross coat of arms hanging on the wall. The tables, chairs and cabinets under the coat of arms are either missing a leg or covered with a thick layer of dust and cobwebs.

There were large patches of caked mud on the carpet.

The rats scurried along the wall, not to look for food in the empty castle, but to avoid the blazing sun outside.

"When this place is busy, it should be pretty good."

Lothar comforted somewhat insincerely.

Fringilla muttered in a low voice: "How should we live here? Sir, why don't we go back to Jerusalem? We can't live in the ruins."

Seeing that Lothar was unmoved.

She added: "Then you have to let the wives of the subjects come here to clean up. You won't ask me, the noble princess of the royal court, to do such rough work, right?"

Lothar had already planned to build the Lord's Hall tonight, and by then the inner castle would naturally be covered or completely transformed.

So he said: "Is there anything wrong? Isn't there any cleaning spell in blood magic?"

Fringilla was anxious: "How can this be done? Blood magic is used to kill people. Unless it is to clean blood stains, how can it be used to clean dust and catch mice?"

"Ha, just kidding."

Lothar stretched out her hand, rubbed Fringilla's smooth white hair, and said in a doting tone: "Don't worry, I won't let you live in a place like this."

"cough--"

Prajna coughed lightly, and when he saw the two of them, he quietly moved his eyes away, as if he really just coughed inadvertently.

At the same time, the system prompts: The intimacy between you and Fringilla has been upgraded to "Friendly". You can share Fringilla's talent "Blood Magic Specialization" or "Blood Charm" and share it by default.

To Servant Fringilla, your only talent is "being a human being for two lives".

It's been brewing for a long time.

Everything will fall into place.

Lothar was not surprised, smiled, and chose the first "Blood Magic Specialization" without hesitation.

Countless knowledge suddenly emerged in Lothar's mind.

He felt a sharp pain in his head, streaks of blood appeared in his eyeballs, and everything in his sight turned into blood-red lines.

Especially Fringilla, in this blood-red world, she is like the eye of the storm, with all the blood-colored lines moving around her.

Compared with the "cornerstone" of talents that need to be actively released to be activated, "Blood Magic Specialization" is a passive skill that produces effects all the time.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Prajna frowned. From Lothar's body, she felt an unusual aura. Although it was weak, it could already pose a threat to her.

Fringilla seemed to realize something, and said quickly: "You don't have enough mental strength to master so much blood magic. Give up this shared talent first!"

Lothar suddenly realized, was it because he didn't have enough mental strength?

He did not hesitate to call out the system panel and added all three attribute points he had accumulated before to his mental power.

The next moment, the blood in front of his eyes quickly faded.

His vision returned to normal.

My mind is filled with all kinds of blood magic: blood waterfall, which can greatly increase your speed and strength in a short period of time by accelerating your blood flow.

Blood Spear: Throw a spear that contains its own magic power. After mixing with the enemy's blood, the magic power will infect the blood in the opponent's body and trigger a "blood explosion".

Bat Transformation: Temporarily transform into a vampire bat.

Immunity: All your vitals are neutralized by your blood magic. You will be immune to all bleeding effects, and you will be immune to damage caused to you by consuming blood.

Perhaps the remaining blood magic was too profound and his mental strength could not bear it, so it all showed an ellipsis state.

But these alone are already a huge improvement for Lothar.

Prajna took a deep look at Lothar, stopped talking, and did not follow Lothar as usual, but took the lead to walk upstairs.

This must be because of jealousy, right?

There was no hint of the decrease in intimacy, and Lothar was a little confused for a while.

Fringilla was unusually shy.

Although she usually likes oral pleasure, she is actually just the king of oral pleasure. The fact that intimacy unlocks shared talents cannot be hidden from herself.

"I'll go up there with the stupid guy and have a look."

After saying that, he followed him like a lark.

Lothar was left where he was, not knowing whether he should follow or not.

Early the next morning.

Leonard got up sleepily, his eyes suddenly widened.

He covered his mouth in great surprise, his upper and lower teeth chattered, and he let out an unexplained sob.

"What the hell is going on?"

I saw that the inner fortress that was in dilapidated condition yesterday had now turned into a towering fortress that was more majestic and brand new than before.
