Hilude smiled faintly and said, "Actually, it's normal. The cavalry of any force is always the most well-equipped elite unit. We essentially annihilated the most elite cavalry legion of the Green Dragon, so naturally, we could obtain a large amount of armor."

Su Li immediately shook his head and said, "No, things definitely aren't that simple. Our Hesse Territory has many opportunities, and only 23 out of 900 Knights possess Vibranium Rune Armor. This is still with our good relations with the dwarves, having many dwarves help forge and trade."

"The Centaur Beasts with their clumsy limbs can't make weapons at all; they rely entirely on the Beastmen and goblins to help forge them. They have 2,000 cavalry, yet they have almost as many Vibranium Rune Armors as us, which is quite unusual."

Hilude speculated, "The Centaur Beast cavalry often pillage dwarf outposts and mines, even raiding the treasuries of some dwarf tribes. They would surely gain a large amount of ore and heavy armor. Just through plunder, they could maintain the elite equipment of this cavalry unit."

"Moreover, the Green Dragon followers have a lot of gnolls and kobolds, especially the vast number of kobolds. Though they are inconspicuous on the battlefield, where a soldier from the Free People's Corps can kill one or two, they still have certain racial talents in wandering and mining. The Blood Pine Forest is rich with resources and has numerous mining pits. The Vibranium they diligently extract first arms these elite cavalry, hence the considerable amount."

Su Li nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.

Don't be fooled by the small number of the Centaur Beast corps, only 2,000 strong.

But their quality is extremely high, with the adult Centaur Beast warriors possessing elite-level strength.

An ordinary adventurer squad might get completely slaughtered by encountering such an elite monster in the forest.

Their chiefs have champion-level strength.

In this 2,000-strong Centaur Beast legion, there are two to three champion-level monsters, and over a thousand elite-level Centaur Beast tribal warriors.

This means that in this battle, Su Li actually led his troops to annihilate an elite cavalry of 1,000 or even 2,000 strong.

Collecting and melting down the battle armor of so many elite cavalry naturally yields a handsome profit in Vibranium.

Su Li couldn't help but smile broadly and said, "With over 40 sets of Vibranium Rune Armor, our Champion Knights and Half Griffin Knights will have stronger protection, making the task of hunting a Divine Chosen level much easier."

Who could have thought?

After this battle, with the ebb and flow of power, humanity surprisingly came close to matching the Green Dragon followers in terms of high-tier combat strength!

Although overall, the Green Dragon, relying on physical prowess and Dragon Language Magic, still holds an advantage, humanity is no longer without the means to resist.

Monsters such as Chaos Monster Skaros, a slightly weaker Divine Chosen level creature, if caught in a melee and surrounded by dozens of knights clad in Vibranium Rune Armor, has a high probability of falling on the battlefield.

After all, among these powerful knights are Champion Warriors, Half Griffin Knights, and formidable Medical Knights. They cooperate with each other, and with the use of Divine Magic, a single monster would find it hard to handle, continuously suffering injuries.

Afterwards, the territory needs to consider how to deal with the overwhelming legions of monsters.

Honestly, Su Li has no good solutions for this, only taking it one step at a time.

Most of the time, quantity also constitutes a quality of its own; absolute scale advantage is an undefeatable presence.

Even with just 30,000 monsters, it would be a tenfold massive legion compared to Hesse Territory.

Once they converge, apart from fortifying the defenses and holding the castle, Su Li really has no other options.

Winning by numerical superiority is a fundamental military principle!

The reason why battles where the few defeat many are so renowned is that achieving victory in them is extremely difficult.

Every great victory achieved by confronting tenfold numbers is famous, like the Battle of Guandu or the Battle of Chibi, passed down for ages.

Hilude, on the other hand, is more optimistic. She continued, "Besides these perfect-grade weapons and armor, we also obtained over a hundred refined-grade weapons and armors. With minor modifications from the dwarves, our knights can barely use them. The few we can't use, we could sell them to Marle Castle, exchanging for substantial wealth to purchase more refined equipment."

"So even though our scale might be far less compared to the Green Dragon, our quality of equipment far exceeds that of the monster legion. The difficulty of the battle might not be as dire as you anticipated. We are like thousands of elite heavy armored cavalry charging against tens of thousands of hapless mobs."

Although aware that Hilude was comforting him, Su Li still felt much better.

Thinking optimistically, what Hilude said is somewhat true. Especially in some battlefields where Su Li can actively choose, it would be a thousand elite heavy armored cavalry assaulting a monster legion of one or two thousand.

The disparities in equipment and strength would turn such battles into outright annihilations. A thousand elite heavy armored cavalry could crush two to three thousand feeble infantry with negligible losses.

Su Li then took a deep breath and said cheerfully, "Then let's return to the territory and recuperate as soon as possible. The end of this battle should give us a few cycles or even a month's respite, allowing us to catch our breath a little."

With Su Li's orders, the resting army leisurely left this border outpost in batches.

This battle allowed Hesse Territory to successfully quell the enemy's arrogance, not only causing the Green Dragon to take heed but also greatly comforting their own people's hearts and boosting morale.

The knights and soldiers all brimmed with morale, nearly having a devout blind faith in Su Li, with everyone believing that under Su Li's leadership, Hesse Territory would surely fend off the evil siege and protect their territory and homeland.
