Capítulo 1207: Chapter 1207: Heavy Infantry Army Group
After a period of experintation, the thods of tal slting and so alloy manufacturing have finally been mastered by the blacksmiths under his command. This is the main reason Jera started using these Minotaurs.
“Are those Minotaurs ready? Next, we need to prepare to form the heavy infantry.”
To be honest, they aren’t really short of troops now, but certain things can be supplented. Especially the formation of non-Undead troops, which can greatly boost morale.
Not everything can rely on the Undead; it would sotis have negative effects if so.
As long as these troops are believers, there won’t be any issues, and they won’t possibly rebel against themselves in the future.
“They are ready. I must say, these Minotaurs are really excellent material.”
“You value them highly too, huh?” Jera looked at his subordinate with great satisfaction.
“Of course, these Minotaurs are very simple-minded, easily converted into believers, and each of them is extrely devout. I think it won’t be long before Saints appear.”
It turns out that Beastn also have this advantage, which Jera found sowhat inexplicable.
However, even for Beastn, not many can truly beco Saints. After all, being simple-minded doesn’t entirely et the requirents for a Saint. Saints must have fresh, complete faith in the Gods and also blaze their own trail.
If these requirents weren’t needed, Saints would probably be all over the streets by now.
Due to these two conditions, in a way, they could even be said to be completely contradictory.
Only a few special individuals have this qualification, and they also need a special opportunity. If this opportunity never cos in their lifeti, they will never reach this level.
“Moreover, these guys have very good awareness. I’ve tested these Minotaurs, and most of them are willing to beco Undead after death to continue serving the Gods, and they are not afraid of death.”
Such a race would certainly not be acceptable among humans.
Even if humans accepted the idea of continuing to exist as Undead, most of them wouldn’t like it.
Those who do beco Undead mostly just want to continue to exist, and this thought is more important than continuing to serve the Gods. In fact, many people’s faith level drops after turning into Undead.
Even those whose faith doesn’t drop beco ntally complex and can’t beco Saints.
Those who are well-prepared before death might be able to change this situation.
“Alright, then let’s begin to form the group. The upcoming battles will give them a chance to test their ttle on the battlefield.”
The subordinate accepted the order and left, starting to have people forge armor and weapons. The Minotaurs are all very suitable for heavy weaponry. Speed is not their forte, but strength certainly is.
Thus, being tightly wrapped in armor is their standard configuration.
So special runes were also redesigned for them to better leverage their advantages.
In terms of weapons, after a series of selections, they finally decided that the axe would be the weapon of the Minotaurs. Not only is it sufficiently heavy, but its attack power is also substantial.
When ford into an army group, they can unleash fearso destructive power.
Even Heavy Cavalry dare not rashly charge at them; otherwise, who wins and who loses would be uncertain.
If it’s a siege, they can have so of them switch to hamrs and start demolishing city walls. The only downside in terms of weapons is the lack of suitable runes.
“I rember that Beastn seem to be quite skilled with totems. I don’t know if our world has such a thing, but it might be worth researching.” Jera frowned at the weapons and began pondering solutions.
From the White Lotus Book, Jera had learned many things, including the totems the Beastn excelled at.
However, those were collected from other worlds, and it’s unknown how they would work in this world. It’s not a well-developed system because the people’s strength in this world is suppressed, so they never developed totems.
But Beastn who have reached the Demigod Level should be able to use totems.
“So now, we should first train a few Demigod Level Beastn and have them conduct research. If successful, they could try to imbue totems onto their weapons and even armor.”
In warfare, Beastn are even better than humans, precisely because of these totem priests.
The spells of humans, while powerful and dangerous, beco less effective the larger the scale of the war.
On the contrary, the Beastn’s totem blessings may seem small in number, but the more people there are, the stronger the effect. This is why Beastn, despite being less civilized than humans, can compete with them.
Of course, it’s not just because of totems; other reasons also exist.
But speaking of which, the discipline of Minotaurs is indeed impressive, making them very easy to train.
After just a few days of training, their basic formations have already taken shape. Jera didn’t dwell too much on it and directly ordered the best-performing Minotaurs onto the battlefield to test their combat power in real battles.
During this ti, those Minotaurs who were well-fed and well-hydrated beca extrely zealous, completely ignorant of what death is.
Once on the battlefield, the Minotaurs imdiately used their formidable defenses and berserk attacks to prove themselves.
Not far away, soone held a special Crystal Ball, and Jera was watching the battle through this device. The enemy cavalry charge had no effect on the Minotaur army.
It was like waves crashing against a rock; the rock remained unscathed, while the waves shattered.
As the Minotaurs moved forward, their synchronized pace exerted trendous pressure on others.
Although their speed wasn’t very fast, the montum and pressure from their actions were terrifying. Before they even clashed, the enemy had already started to collapse, which made Jera nod repeatedly in approval.
“Not bad, really not bad. Their combat power isn’t much weaker than the Skeleton Giant Elephants. If they continue to improve and refine their training, they might rise to the level of the main combat corps.”
This assessnt was very high, and others listening to Jera’s words began to develop their plans.
Previously, not even the Heavy Cavalry had received such an evaluation. So began to consider plotting to bring so Minotaurs under their own command to also have such a powerful army.
So others were contemplating whether to use different Beastn to form new Heavy Cavalry Corps instead of humans.
