The armoured cavalry
I have a new task for you. You have received the order to find out information about the armoured cavalry. It was the most important part of Isup, the king who unified the continent's army. The armoured cavalry was feared by other nations because of its remarkable speed and attack power.
With the information you collected we may be able to strengthen our military power. Visit the musician Yu-Hwan first. I'm sure that he knows quite a bit about Isup's cavalry.
Hm, as you like. See you later then.
Will I ever command a cavalry regiment like that? Be careful.
Thank you. Take care.
The armoured cavalry
The Captain is looking for information about King Isup's legendary cavalry. Yu-Hwan the musician probably has some information. Go and ask him.
Life is so wonderful - love is so wonderful... Oh, you again! What do you want now? Information about the armoured cavalry? Why are you asking me about them? The Captain must have grand plans?
Yu-Hwan:
Hardly any original texts from that time have survived but I know some songs about the armoured cavalry. Just a minute, I'll just tune my instrument... Oh, you are in a hurry? Nowadays nobody takes the time to listen any more... Oh well. Roughly speaking Isup's cavalry was almost invincible. Extremely well trained soldiers, heavy armour and at the same time fast and mobile.
It was the best army this continent has ever seen. Many countries went under because nothing could stop the cavalry. It would be similar today. But you need tough training methods and a lot of high quality iron to set up such an army. You should ask the Peddler and Uriel the scholar about it. They probably know more details.
Yu-Hwan the musician says that the Peddler and Uriel the scholar may have information about the armoured cavalry. First go to the Peddler.
Peddler:
What do you want from a simple Peddler like me? The iron armour from the armoured cavalry? Those are old stories. Who is interested in those? I have to earn a living and can't stand around chatting all day!
It is getting more and more difficult to make ends meet. Since these stones have been falling out of the sky I have... What are you saying? Oh yes, the cavalry. As far as I know they wore special armours and producing them required special knowledge. They were the best armour ever made! Standard knives or even arrows could not penetrate this perfect armours!
You can imagine how important the armours were by the money that was necessary to set up the cavalry. It is said that they used up the treasuries of entire kingdoms! If I was to sell such armours I'd be set up for life!
Nowadays, armours can even be made out of Metin stones. With this new kind of armour, it's no longer just a dream to have an armoured cavalry like the one back then. But I'm talking too much. I have to get on. See you!
The armoured cavalry
The Peddler knew something about the iron armours of the armoured cavalry. Now go to the next village and talk to Uriel the scholar about the training.
Uriel:
What brings you here? The armoured cavalry? Of course I know something about them. Everyone does. This army will go down in history as one of the best of all times! A lot of what is being said may be exaggerated but these mounted soldiers were much feared. And quite rightly so.
The armoured cavalry was superior to everyone else, mainly because of its intense training. Only the very best were able to finish the training, many of them died. I think if the same training was still done nowadays not a single soldier would be left by the end of it.
I will give you some detailed information about the training, so that you won't be completely clueless. I know that some terrible wars are going on at the moment, but I'm not sure whether it is a good idea to set up a fearsome army like the armoured cavalry again.
Go to the Captain and tell him everything you learned about the armoured cavalry.
Report about the armoured cavalry
Captain
Have you been able to find something out? Do tell! ... Hmm, that's very interesting. So it's nothing more than heavy armour and hard training? Then it would be possible! Such an army could reunite the three kingdoms!
But I would need a lot of money. And a lot of good blacksmiths. And recruits who voluntarily go through hell to become the best of the best! No, no! Don't look at me like that. Don't worry, you have done enough for the time being.
Here take your reward and have a rest. I'll see you later!
You have received 150,000 experience points. You have received 30,000 Yang. You have received Golden Earrings.
