Hiring these Extraordinary Knights wasn't because Horn had more money than he knew what to do with, but because there was indeed a need.
The primary requirement was to combat bandits and deter the Ibe Knights to the south.
From the bloodshed at Joan of Arc Castle to the Battle of Pavia, a series of campaigns completely crushed the main Extraordinary forces in Kush Territory.
The remaining Extraordinary Knights dare not face off directly and can only hold their ground in rural fortresses or engage in guerrilla warfare in the wild.
Horn needed a highly mobile force that could stand against the Extraordinary Knights.
He was originally prepared to head to the mountains to find affordable Mountain Infantry—the North People came to him instead.
This group of Robber Knights weren't numerous, but they moved like the wind, recklessly raiding villages, leaving the Holy Gun Cavalry overwhelmed.
Furthermore, they had to comfort each defiant Knight family.
