Manid had a little experience with interrogation.

As a genius from a merchant family, he knew the art of multiple languages, such as intimidation, envy, and promise, among the most basic business negotiation routines.

Changing your thinking and changing your approach is actually the skill of interrogation.

Manid took his leave.

The interrogation was quickly arranged with the soldiers in charge of intimidation.

That same evening.

The results of the interrogation were recorded in parchment and presented to Kant in writing.

It's just that the results were somewhat unexpected.

"Huh." Kant had a mocking smile on his face.

Taking the information obtained from the interrogation of the captives as an example, the Graymane Kingdom directly dispatched all the elites except for the necessary defense forces of the country for this operation, and almost recalled all the controlling forces outside the coast of Mannheim, in order to invade the human countries of the Naren Desert and turn the southern part of this desert into a colony of the Graymane Kingdom.

The idea of breaking the kettle is an extremely bold strategy.

There is a kind of momentum that if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent.

But in Kant's view.

These high-ranking gnolls did not consider at all that if their strategic action to colonize the human countries failed, and the power on the coast of Mannheim shrank and weakened, they would not be able to advance or retreat, and would be surrounded to death.

The consequences are unimaginable.

"They think the human kingdom is weak."

Manid sensed Kant's thoughts, shrugged his shoulders and reported, "In their opinion, 1 gnoll infantry can easily handle 3 human infantry, and if the gnolls start fighting, they can handle 5 human infantry." ”

Kant raised his eyebrows slightly: "That's true. ”

Fatis also declined to comment, but it was a tacit acquiescence to the correctness of the statement.

That's exactly what happened.

The height of the jackal can generally reach 2.3 meters, and the high-level jackal with sufficient nutrition can often weigh up to 300 pounds, all of them are tall and weight, and they are full of strong muscles.

The speed, strength, and weight-bearing capacity brought by this body are really much stronger than the infantry of the human countries.

Not to mention a heads-up between individuals.

Even if it is a collision between legions and legions, the human legions will be at a disadvantage.

But Kant picked up the parchment again.

Looking at the above records, the tone of the Graymane Kingdom's troop composition and battle sequence was a little strange: "However, these jackals, don't they think that the human kingdom is composed of infantry like them, right?" ”

Manid nodded, "As you can see, it is. ”

"Hmph." Fatis snorted coldly and frowned, "This seems like a joke. ”

"No way." Manid shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "When I heard the information from those captives, I didn't believe it either, and after collecting evidence from the other captives, I found out that it was true. ”

"Only infantry." Kant tapped his fingers on the table and couldn't help but laugh.

Because the Naren Desert serves as a moat.

The coast of Mannheim, which connects to the Sea of Stars, and the Duchy of Lion, which connects to the interior, have not communicated at all.

Neither side understands the other.

It is even more unclear about the military level and class structure of the other side.

But now it seems that the Greymane Kingdom on the coast of Mannheim, a country composed of high-ranking gnolls, is too outrageous, and the battle only relies on hoplites, and even the long-range troops are recruited mercenaries or lizardmen to serve as captives, and are in the attitude of auxiliary soldiers, and also serve as sappers, transporters and other miscellaneous troops in wartime.

"They had never seen cavalry, and there were no horses on the coast of Mannheim."

As if thinking of something, Manid added: "The only similar force is the Elven Clan's Moon Deer Cavalry, which uses bows and arrows to fight from a distance, and its ability to fight in close quarters is quite weak. ”

"Archers." Kant raised his eyebrows, looking thoughtful.

In the steppes southeast of Calradia, the elite of the Kugit people is the senior cavalry archers of Kujit.

The strongest archers on the entire continent.

Under the tactical pull of the plains, these cavalry archers can even compete with the Swadia knights and Mamluks, the two strongest cavalry of level 5, relying on their superior mobility and accurate and lethal feathered arrows in the gallop of war horses.

For the archers, who were good at guerrilla, they never fought head-on.

The Svadians, on the other hand, prefer to charge and win.

Fatis opened his mouth and expressed puzzlement: "I don't understand, how can the Graymane Kingdom be stupid enough to want to colonize human countries with only heavy infantry, at least I understand that the Lion Principality is also a country dominated by heavy cavalry, and the power of fighting on the plains is not at all comparable to these 3,000 heavy infantry." ”

"The asymmetry of intelligence." Manid frowned slightly and came to this conclusion.

Kant nodded: "Perhaps." ”

Only this conclusion can explain the underestimation and arrogance of the Greymane Kingdom.

Since the coast of Mannheim had never seen heavy cavalry fighting, they would never have imagined that humans would charge them on horses, fully armored and armed with spears.

I don't even understand that the heavy cavalry in the state of charge can't even stop the pike.

Not to mention historically.

Even the continent of Calradia has proven this.

As long as the terrain is suitable.

The charging heavy cavalry, even the level 4 Swadia heavy cavalry, can crush the strongest level 6 infantry, and the infantry formation formed by the Nord royal guards will knock these infantry butchers to the ground, easily trampled by the horses' hooves.

Although it is a desert area, the terrain is still relatively gentle.

The same is suitable for cavalry combat.

"This time, we really have to be ready."

Kant knocked on the table and said to the two of them, "We can't underestimate the enemy. ”

"Understood." The two responded in a deep voice.

They also understand that they do not have the capital to underestimate the enemy.

It belongs to the "Drehem" fortress that is fighting alone, and the only one you can rely on is yourself.

There were no reinforcements.

There is no reserve.

If you fail even once, you will fall into the abyss.

Compared to the extremely powerful Greymane Kingdom, they don't have any capital to underestimate the enemy.

Late at night.

The guards began to change their guards for the night.

This was the end of Kant's conversation with the two, and he looked out the window at the moon, which was in the middle of the sky, and the bright galaxy reflected the source of the countless bright glows of the night, sprinkling the gentle veil of the desert.

It's a new week.

Sleep till dawn.

Kant got up, there wasn't much government to attend to this week.

There were no surprises or surprises.

The soldiers were busy, disposing of the corpses left over from yesterday's battle, burying them or throwing them directly to the lowly gnolls as food for the captives, who didn't mind eating their own corpses anyway.

In other words, some are already good to eat. [.]
