Hmmm. I'd go with a W9N9 Son of Niefel, since most battles do not last long enough for the reinvigoration of the earth blessing to matter to troops (and Jotunheim has no sacred mages except the Neifel Jarl who's really a combat dude and is super expensive), and I'd take +4 def and double attacks over +4 prot any day.

You donīt get double attacks with the quickness blessing, itīs only 1,5 attacks. A dual9 son of niefel is 50 points more expensive.
Fatigue matters greatly for troops. If the battle lasts only 5 rounds, those niefels will have accumulated 20 fatigue, which means they get -2 to attack/defense and opponents have a chance to deal armorpiercing attacks.
And protection is far more important for niefels than defense. the ~ 20 protection/no fatigue they get with e9 means that they are practically immune to normal troops.

Just try both blessings and see which fares better vs lvl 7 indies.
