The battle tactics of an ordinary adventurer is similar to that of a hunter.
In the modern world, it would be similar to the special forces.
In a party with a small number of people to sneak up on a monster and overcome it with attack power.
If there aren"t enough people to overcome a monster, they turn to traps and other strategies.
However, the shield and crossbow soldiers make up more than half the members of Kenkiba. They are expensive to maintain.
In both my world and this world, shields are thick wooden boards usually with metal around the edges and backed with leather, it is also standard to throw away a shield after battle.
If you block attacks with a shield it will become riddled with scratches and holes.
You can ask for a shield to be repaired, but you are better off using a new one. Otherwise, there is a larger possibility that it will break when blocking an attack.
This is why shields are less popular with adventurers.
Entirely metals shields are too heavy to use effectively. I have heard that in the military there are shield soldiers that use a shield with two hands. Though I have never actually seen them. Are they used when fighting Dragons?
Although crossbows are powerful weapons, they are expensive to manufacture. They are fragile and it is impossible to fire quickly and in succession. However, if you can arrange a number of them and keep them maintained properly, they are a force to be reckoned with. If you have a vanguard equipped with shields protecting them while they reload and if you have someone to break the enemies shields their combat prowess increases.
However, it is not cheap.
It is necessary to have warrior blacksmiths to carry spare shields and parts and repair crossbows and shields.
You can reduce the need to repair and replace shields and armour by having them blessed with defensive magic by a war monk. (TN: Can be monk or priest will leave as monk unless it is stated that they are actually priests.)
Though this way of fighting the Kenkiba corps completed many quests and racked up a lot of achievements.
The best way to fight an ogre is using traps.
When I was an adventurer I ricked my life fighting a two-meter-tall hob-goblin. After somehow defeating it I swore I would never fight one head on again.
However, the Kenkiba corps is equipped and trained to be able to crush any opponent from the front.
They have both talented people and a first-cla.s.s combat doctrine.
I may end up releasing less chapters because I am currently in the middle of picking up another novel to translate that I am interested in. I will not drop this series but there may be 1 or 2 fewer releases each week depending on how busy I am.
