Three hundred heavy cavalry, what kind of force was that?
In ancient tis, this was an armant even a small nation couldn’t fully marshal.
Even in this era, soldiers of extraordinary fighting prowess equipped with magical armor, lances, and mounts comprised a core force at the heart of any military.
Let alone three hundred, for an average noble house, even three or five could be a decisive factor in life or death.
Once assembled, three hundred fully ard heavy cavalry were akin to a non-nuclear state before the apocalypse possessing nuclear weapons—let alone a minor earl, even a grand duke of the kingdom would feel emboldened to make a move.
In this era, while top-tier fighters could play a decisive role, ruling a region still required the support of forces from every stratum.
And without a doubt, three hundred magical Heavy Armor cavalry could provide powerful support for Li Ming.
They could also offer a more solid foundation for his rule.
The developnt of Li Ming’s territory could already be considered quite strong, but it was far from reaching its limit.
Whether it was the spiritual tea trees or the dicinal herbs, there was still great potential to be explored, and many of the three hundred personal guards had yet to don magical armor or be equipped with mutated horses.
The journey from foundational cultivation to becoming an interdiate knight was the simplest and most easily attainable segnt of the entire training process. With the unlimited supply of spiritual tea leaves and herbal dicines, the cultivation speed of the three hundred guards had already reached its limit. Becoming a junior knight or a novice warrior at the peak was not particularly difficult for them, but with the brief ti thus far, many knights among the guards had not yet done so, and this too required ti.
Given ti for the strength of all three hundred soldiers to reach the peak of junior warriors or junior knights, or even to reach the peak of a dual-proficient junior knight and warrior, the overall might of the cavalry was undoubtedly bound for its apex.
It might only be at that ti that the cavalry corps would be ready to strike out. Moreover, Li Ming’s current strength was also in a period of steady improvent. With his talent, there was no obstacle to becoming a great knight, a mighty warrior, or a grand mage.
Nor could he possibly be satisfied with rely the low-level strength he currently possessed. At the very least, he had to reach a triple evolution, which was to say a power level comparable to a grand duke of the kingdom, before unveiling his might to the gaze of the other nobles.
Furthermore, the population of Linshan Town was still sparse. He needed more inhabitants, and at present, he had only elite soldiers but not many regular troops, with their numbers barely exceeding that of his personal guards.
In addition to regular troops, defense forces, auxiliary troops all constituted indispensable parts of a power. Not to ntion scouts for reconnaissance and spies for garnering intelligence—these were undoubtedly what Linshan Town currently lacked.
Now, with the monthly yield of leaves from the five great spiritual tea trees and the daily output of dicinal pills from a large expanse of dicinal herbs, he was fully confident in developing Linshan Town into a terrifyingly complete entity within a re five years—a titable he had set for his own growth.
War was no child’s play—it wasn’t like in gas where defeating an enemy of a specific level allows one to grind for experience. Once the might of Linshan Town was campaigned forth, the adversaries faced could exceed all expectations.
As Li Wei said, the Gill family was nothing much. But behind the Gill family, there could well stand other powerful entities. Should he attack the Gill family, and these forces join with the Gills against him, the consequences and losses might be irreparable.
So, to prevent such a scenario, Li Ming would inevitably need to strike with a level of force two to three tis higher than the entire Gill family could muster before choosing to wage war, thoroughly eradicating them from this world.
Sharing his ideas with Li Wei, his father, Li Wei, heartily agreed with his decision.
"Child, your thoughts are much more mature than I imagined. It seems the hardships of your childhood did not dim your talents. You’ve done quite well, and there’s little I can teach you now. The path ahead might require you to walk alone. All I might be able to do for your domain now is add a warrior of true mana realm strength,"
"and to offer you a asure of power when it’s necessary."
Li Wei stood up, looking contemplatively at his youngest son. Perhaps the only help he could offer his son now was himself, and even then, the resources needed for his advancent to the truth realm were to be provided by his son.
Feeling a twinge of remorse at the thought, he reminisced about the past when he and his spouse were deeply in love, so sweet it was. Yet now, before their offspring were truly grown, they had to face such imnse pressure, and he could not offer any help, filling Li Wei’s heart with sha.
"Father, I don’t need your help in the battles to co. I would prefer if you could stay and safeguard our territory at ho, and ascend safely to the realm of true strength. The resources for the breakthrough are not a problem. Right now, I just hope you can cultivate here smoothly and safely,"
Li Ming said, shaking his head gently and speaking softly, "You are my only relative and the most trustworthy person in this world to . I don’t want any harm to co to you, nor do I want to lose soone I can rely on. I hope you can understand my earnestness, Father."
