Chapter 131
131. Mech Knight Pluto (1)
This world is imbued with mana, a force harnessed by mages, knights, and various other beings, which fundamentally changes the nature of strategy and tactics compared to Earth.
In particular, superhuman individuals such as Archmages, High Priests, and Sword Masters are akin to living strategic weapons.
Even a thousand ordinary soldiers without mana would be no match for one of them.
Despite the presence of such powerful knights, mages, and priests, armies composed of ordinary people still exist.
The reason is simple: mana users are rare, and superhumans like Sword Masters are so few they can be counted on one hand across the continent.
As exceptional as knights and mages may be, they are not invincible in the face of overwhelming numbers.
Ordinary soldiers aren’t expected to fight superhumans directly. They can simply avoid them, attacking undefended villages and cities instead.
No Sword Master could possibly defend an entire nation by themselves.
