Xia is naturally very clear in her heart.
This battle was heart-wrenching and won heartily. The combat effectiveness of these 800 cavalry is almost sky-defying, almost abnormal... But with such 800 cavalry, he can no longer duplicate even one more squad!
For nothing else, just because Dora is right: such a cavalry should not exist in this world at all!
And to build this powerful 800 cavalry, the cost of Xiaya's investment is so extravagant that it is almost condemned!
If you want to know how Xia Ya's subordinates created such a powerful and incredible army, you have to start from the beginning.
However, it was said that a few months ago, when Merlin came to Denzel City, Xiaya's peaceful days were broken by this perverted adoptive mother.
The most unfortunate thing is that Merlin is probably able to use this guy, Dotolo, to do it smoothly. When it comes to patience and obedience, as well as slapping horses, among Char's subordinates, Dotolo can be regarded as the number one. .
Dotolo's fear of Merlin was deeply imprinted into his bones. In awe, the respect of worship may be 30%, but the fear is 70%. Poor Todoro lived in dire straits almost every day under Merlin's arrogance. And Merlin, although he seems to be eccentric and irritable, he is actually very concerned about the kid Xiaya.
Especially, later, Dodo Luo accidentally revealed some of Char's secrets: especially the carriage that Char's hid in the garrison!
What's in the carriage? Those were all the treasures that the ancient goblins plucked out of the dungeon where Xiaya and Hasting went down to the ancient goblins.
Among them, the War Tree Castle has been carried forward by Xia Ya on the battlefield. When it was used for the first time, the Odins made a mess, and by the way, they also achieved the reputation of "White-robed Archmage" Dodoro.
In addition to the War Tree Castle, another important thing that Xi Ya scavenged from the ruins of the ancient goblin was the "muscle fruit"!
This muscle fruit is an extremely important research result of ancient goblins.
You must know that in ancient times, goblins were a class above many races, with intelligent minds and the most developed civilization. But congenital racial defects cannot be erased.
Those extremely intelligent ancient goblins, in addition to working on the God Creation Project, have also been painstakingly studying how to make up for their own racial talent deficiencies.
One of the most important items is the compensation for the combat power of the goblin race.
The goblin race is naturally weaker than other races, not to mention compared with the most powerful race like the dragon race, even compared with the dwarves and elves of this level, it is still worse too far. Even compared with the human race who are not known for their physique, the physique of the goblin is too weak.
When fighting, goblin warriors are short in stature, physical strength, strength, and all aspects tend to be absolutely weak. If there is a war with other races, if nothing else, it will be a huge loss just in hand-to-hand combat.
Although the goblins have the most advanced weapons, they even have powerful things like magic cannons. However, making up for their natural physical defects has always been the research direction of smart scholars among goblins.
Against this background, the research and development of muscle fruit is a major breakthrough for goblins in this field!
The role of muscle fruit, Xiaya once heard Hastings introduce it, it is really a superb baby for hand-to-hand combat! After using the muscle fruit, the individual used, whether it is strength or combat effectiveness in all aspects, will increase exponentially! And in battle, you can achieve an effect similar to madness: when you receive damage, you can instead burst out with more powerful power! Get stronger and stronger!
It can be said that if the muscle fruit is used properly, it can cultivate a group of excellent and powerful warriors who are good at careful hand-to-hand combat. After the transformation of the muscle fruit, the strength and physical strength of such individual warriors will be doubled or even multiplied, and when fighting, they can burst out powerful and amazing potential.
The only side effect is that if it is used too much, it will exceed the tolerance limit of the implanted individual, which will cause the body of the implanted individual to collapse.
After Xia got these muscle fruits, she once thought carefully about how to make full use of these treasures to achieve maximum efficiency.
After careful research, he realized a problem: Muscle fruit is something researched by ancient goblins. Goblins are born with weak physique. The limit of the use of these muscle fruits, if the physique of the goblin is used as the base, is naturally the limit of use. Very low, but humans are born with a much stronger physique than goblins, so as a basis, obviously if a muscle fruit is implanted, it can withstand a greater limit than a goblin!
Different individuals have different foundations, which can lead to different results.
So... If the physique of the implanted object is stronger than that of humans, then after using the muscle fruit, will the effect be better
Xia Ya's mind is very flexible, and he quickly came up with a daring idea!
There were only more than 40 muscle fruits in total.
You must know that the ancient goblins spent countless energy and efforts to finally come up with such a little thing, which can be said to be the crystallization of the power of the family.
Just when Char was having a headache about how to use these things, Merlin appeared, and after hearing about Char's "private collections" from Dodoro, Merlin's research on magic is almost a contemporary top-level master. 's intervention, immediately gave Xia a great help.
For Merlin, she is extremely interested in these research results of ancient goblins, which is the instinct of an excellent magician. These things immediately became her favorite toys.
She quickly disassembled a muscle fruit in her magic laboratory and did thorough research. Then, during the first test, Merlin went to the Wildfire Field and captured several powerful monsters as test subjects.
The first trial process, Xi Ya saw with his own eyes!
A sturdy and strong adult lion beast was the victim of the first experiment - this kind of beast is famous for its strong physical strength, sharp claws, and can tear through the iron armor of warriors. An adult lion beast can easily An elephant twice its size was torn to shreds!
Merlin refined a muscle fruit into a small bottle of magic liquid. In the first test, he ingested only a few drops on an adult lion beast. As a result, under the witness of Xia Ya, the lion beast used for the test immediately changed! This irritable beast, in a very short period of time, began to expand its body, and its already strong enough body, bones and muscles began to rapidly expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming thicker and stronger!
Then, the guy who was locked in the cage suddenly became mad, and he easily tore the cage made of iron grids with the thickness of his arms and ran out! ! It caused a big accident, and almost injured several guards in the garrison.
As a result, after Merlin killed the beast, it took a few more days to finally fully understand this kind of thing and find an optimal dilution ratio.
Then, Xiaya made a choice!
If the muscle fruit is used directly on the human body... It may be possible to multiply a person's physique and strength, but because the human physique itself is not considered a powerful race, the limit of the base makes the growth rate also different. Not too good.
Merlin said that even if it is used by a powerful warrior who has undergone severe physical training and his physique has been greatly improved, it will only triple his stamina and strength. If it is bigger, it will cause side effects , the body cannot withstand the limit of strengthening, causing the body to collapse!
After thinking about it, Xia Ya came up with a bold idea: Since it's not too good for people to use, if you want to fully utilize the value of this thing, it's better to use it for war horses!
The strength of a horse itself is naturally much stronger than that of a human, and for cavalry, almost 70% of a cavalry's combat power comes from the power of the mount!
After ingesting the magic liquid extracted from the muscle fruit, an already strong war horse will become a terrifying riding beast!
Originally, the weight of a war horse can reach hundreds of pounds. After the upgrade, the war horse's strength, endurance, and the strength of muscles and bones have been doubled. The weight of a strengthened war horse has reached the load. More than 1000 pounds, still able to walk like a fly, gallop back and forth to charge! !
In addition to the strengthening of the original physique of the war horse, after the muscles and bones became more and more thick, the size and volume of the war horse also increased greatly. A strengthened war horse, its own weight, plus the load, plus the powerful Driven by the power, he charged with all his strength, and even Xia Ya couldn't help turning his eyes red with the impact!
After Merlin's careful calculation, Char's secret and careful selection. He started this project of his own!
Judging from Merlin's formula and dilution ratio, all the forty muscle fruits that Xi Ya scavenged for were extracted and fed to war horses and people, adding up to only enough to arm hundreds of cavalry at most.
Char began to select personnel among his cavalry.
The thousands of cavalry under his command are almost all elites, some of them are the horse thieves that Nene had brought before, and the other part are the remnants of the Roderian cavalry! It can be said that if you randomly pull out one and place it in the other armies, they are all first-class elites!
But Xia Ya's selection this time can be regarded as excellence. He chose those cavalry warriors with exceptionally strong bodies, because under the strengthening effect of muscle fruit, physique is the most important foundation. In this way, some people with insufficient strength, but excellent skills, are excluded. Xiaya blindly selected the kind of big man with a strong body like a bull, and selected nearly a thousand people in one breath. Most of these people were from Rodriguez cavalry. The soldiers themselves are already selected to be outstanding elites.
Then the selection of the war horse made Xiaya almost empty out all of his belongings!
He didn't have enough warhorses originally. When Reinhardt brought thousands of cavalry to flee to him, when these cavalry came to Denzel City after a long journey, they were already at the end of the road, and even many cavalry cavalry It was a mule snatched halfway, or a reindeer of the Odins.
The real war horse was not enough in his hands.
As soon as Xia Ya was ruthless, she paid for it! He spent a lot of money and ordered people to search for war horses. Almost all the gold he got from trading with the Zaku natives was scattered by him!
Dax, the spy of the Landis Kingdom, was used to the extreme by him. He spent almost a few months running around for him, secretly contacting various chambers of commerce on the mainland, buying weapons, and smuggling war horses for him to use.
Since then, the frantic search, coupled with the careful selection of the warhorses in the army in his own hands, have finally gathered the numbers that Xia Ya needs.
Of the forty muscle fruits made by the ancient goblins, Xi Ya didn't keep one, and used them all.
With the help of Merlin, the refined magic liquid gave Xia 800 outrageous cavalry!
Such a cavalry, a war horse is a strengthened cavalry beast! The strength and impact are at least three times stronger than ordinary war horses! The cavalry itself is also a fortified and powerful warrior. With a strong physique, even heavy armor and heavy weapons that carry hundreds of kilograms on their bodies can still fight freely.
Powerful war horses and powerful cavalry warriors, once they are combined together... They have created a scale of 800 cavalry. Such a small-scale cavalry unit, this time it is the first time to enter the battlefield, immediately shows its unparalleled formidable power. Come!
Even the initiator, Xia Ya, was shocked by the "alternative" he made!
Eight hundred cavalry, swept the number of Odin elite! And its own damage is almost negligible! The situation of the battle is absolutely overwhelming without a doubt! !
With such a powerful army, if you can create more and a few thousand horses... Wouldn't it be possible to easily sweep the world! Even if tens of thousands of enemy troops formed a tight formation, in the field, they would definitely not be able to resist this kind of special and powerful cavalry that should not belong to this world! !
It's a pity that Xia Ya himself knows very well that it is absolutely impossible for him to make more of such cavalry.
In order to strengthen these eight hundred riders, those muscle fruits have almost been exhausted.
And these things were researched and manufactured by ancient goblins. In this era, it is impossible to manufacture them again.
What Xia Ya doesn't know is... The more than 40 muscle fruits are also the ancient goblin race. Such a smart race has gathered a lot of investment from the whole family and the wisdom of countless goblin scholars. It came out... so much inventory was made in total, and it turned out to be cheaper for Xia... And it was all used up by this prodigal son without blinking his eyelids!
Even if the race of ancient goblins is still there, if you want to make so much muscle fruit, I am afraid that there is no such ability!
Isn't it? This is a huge creation area of the ancient goblin race, which has gathered the most extraordinary wisdom scholars of the whole family for hundreds of years, the efforts of countless elites, the investment of manpower and material resources, and the cost of precious and rare materials to get this point. Stuff, he, Mr. Xia Ya, was so relaxed, he was exhausted by a single thought!
You know, even the ancient goblins, this kind of muscle fruit is not really used by goblin warriors!
※※※
After Chuck City swooped down and captured the small city, Xiaya ordered his cavalry to repair it for only half a day. Xiaya immediately ordered to set fire to the city!
Of the two thousand soldiers in the city who surrendered, naturally none of them dared to stand up and resist. These guys were originally killed by the Odins, and now they encounter an army that is stronger and more vicious than the Odins. Still the slightest bit of resistance? The attitude shown is ten times more docile than when facing the Odins.
Xia Ya ordered the small town to be burnt down, without even having his people do it, those attached troops who surrendered took the initiative to rush to do the work.
In the evening, there was already a raging fire in the small town. The warehouses and hay fields in the city were already burning, and thick smoke was billowing into the sky. When night came, such a fire could only be seen dozens of miles away!
Xia Ya and others have already left the city, and the entire army is lined up on the hillside outside the city, ready to go. Xia Ya looks at the fire in the city in the distance, and suddenly smiles: "This time, it's a signal to Manninger... Let's come. This time, we are going to turn the inner region of Syltan County upside down! The more we make trouble, the safer Green and the others who are facing them on the front line will be!”
He asked the people around him to bring the map, and after a few glances, his face was grim: "Let's go with the whole army! Let's rush through the night and continue to the south! When we meet the city, we burn the city, and we meet the town and kill the town! Wherever we go, As long as there are traces of the Odins, there is only one word: kill!"
※※※
Just when the situation in Syltan County became more complicated, the city of Osgilia, far to the south, has become like a barrel full of gunpowder, ready to explode!
It was still dark, and the chaos of war in the city that had been going on for many days finally came to a standstill.
Those mansions and houses that had been burning for many days were gradually put out, and the riotous soldiers who had been carrying swords for days, full of hideous and greedy faces, and looting everywhere, were gradually gathered back by the troops of various military regions.
The city seems to have regained a little order all of a sudden.
Just in the direction of the Arc de Triomphe and the Imperial Palace, the roar of war drums and bugles is still heard from time to time, and the sound of fighting seems to be getting faster and faster, from morning to night, all night long!
Just in a dilapidated street in the west of the city, this was originally a neighborhood where the rich lived. A few days ago, several groups of rebels went back and forth here. A few small-scale battles took place in the land of the fortune. In the end, it seemed that everyone finally agreed on a way to divide the spoils. Several families took turns to loot from house to house in several nearby streets. From morning to night, the screams and wailing of the residents who encountered the chaos of soldiers could be heard.
In a house at the west corner of the block, the door had already been smashed, and two rotten door panels were slumped at the door, revealing a large hole.
There were still bloodstains on the steps outside the door, several arrows and two or three broken swords fell on the ground, and several corpses fell to the ground.
The original resident of this house was a wealthy businessman. At this moment, the whole family has long since disappeared, and it is not known whether the whole family was killed, or the whole family fled and went to hide elsewhere.
The yard inside the gate is full of messy things, broken boxes, furniture, and pots of flowers and plants that have been kicked over and smashed. Several houses have smashed doors and windows, and several waves of rebels The chaos soldiers have visited here, this small wealthy home has almost been moved out, and nothing of a little value has been left, even some inlaid copper nails on the door panels. Gouged out with knives by rebels.
If you were standing on the street and glanced at the broken gate, it was dark inside, and there was a stench of stench. I didn't know if it was knocked over or the smell of corpses.
It was a mess, obviously it was a place that had already been looted. Even if there were occasional soldiers passing by with swords and swords, they had no interest in going in and looting again after passing through the door of this house. It can be seen at a glance that there is no more oil and water to fish in this place.
At this moment, in the city of Osgilia, people like this go to empty, haunted places, almost every street. The imperial capital, which has been prosperous for hundreds of years, has already lost its wealth and vitality accumulated over hundreds of years in this war when the rebels entered the city.
On a huge street, it snowed the day before yesterday, and naturally no one would clean the snow. At night, some ragged city residents began to walk out of the street in fear, using pots and the like on the street. The utensils used to collect snow, go back and boiled water to drink... As for the food... I'm afraid it's gone long ago.
This mansion was still unnoticed. People who passed by, seeing the dead bodies at the door, instinctively took a few steps to avoid the door.
In this haunted house, in a dark house, behind the broken window sill, at this moment, there is a pair of eyes, through the window sill, staring closely at the direction of the door, watching vigilantly. Pedestrians or rioters passing by occasionally outside the door.
It was not until the night was completely dark that the vigilance in those eyes finally subsided a little.
"Hey, a thousand-year-old imperial capital has been ruined like this... Whether Hughes or El Salvador, they don't even have the ability to manage the army, and they deserve it. They can't achieve great things."
