Let's not mention the Riptide component.
First, let's talk about the abundant supply of mercenaries from the muddy swamps.
There are longbowmen and crossbow shieldmen at a distance, swordsmen in close combat.
Order within chaos, they possess considerable combat strength.
But the cost of hiring mercenaries is also very high, with daily wages far exceeding those of the conscript army.
That Gael could pull together a force of three thousand mercenaries must have cost a pretty penny, this battle won't settle for less than ten thousand gold coins.
Next is the Church Court's influence.
Roman slaughtered the Church Priests in his plundering of Kant Territory.
A whole year has passed.
The Church couldn't pretend to see nothing.
Especially since Duke Gael personally sent a letter to the Pope.
