Suggestion

If used properly, then we can defeat a whole battalion of enemy soldiers in no time.

Not only that, but it also helps to give us a tactical edge as well. As magic users possess knowledge of how to handle different types of magical items and devices. Including those enchanted swords or armor pieces. These kinds of things can aid us tremendously. Especially since we have none of it.

So far, all we've got is a bunch of poorly crafted weapons and shields made by the blacksmith. This means that we are lacking in terms of quality equipment.

Even the knights and soldiers here are wearing crude leather armor that was mass-produced by the smithy. Nothing fancy and nothing particularly powerful. Even though they look quite sturdy and durable. Yet, the truth remains that they aren't suited for fighting on the front lines.
