Chapter 202
Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors
Eventually, I was able to hear the strategy and plans of our allies from Velof.
It had been nearly three years since Moscow was seized by Ivan IV, and with the help of King Fyodor, Ivan IV’s son, Velof was finally able to mobilize troops. It seemed he had also gathered outstanding individuals such as warriors, mages, and clergy from various places. The total number of these talented individuals was over a hundred, each one specially selected.
‘So knights are similar to martial artists!’
Knights could also harness Qi, making them warriors (鬪士). The main difference was their active use of strong metal armor and shields. However, unlike martial artists, they didn’t seem to employ profound techniques like the Middle Kingdom’s martial arts.
Velof said,
“Once, we sent a simple army to reclaim Moscow. However, the thirty thousand soldiers perished.”
“Moscow cannot be conquered by numbers alone, so we all agreed that we need outstanding mages or sorcerers.”
