Chapter 532: Chapter 532
"As for the progress, the kennel will take another two days while the Griffin Castle needs five more days,"
Du You nodded: "Find a way to speed up, the sooner it’s completed the better so we can also start training new troops"
As soon as Du You finished speaking, Shaliya quickly left to continue developing the land. As a tier-two territory, there are many things that need to be upgraded. Needless to say, there is a lot to handle.
He doesn’t even have much time to make Crystal Coins because half of that time was taken from him. It’s frustrating.
Unlike him who couldn’t leave as he wished, Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi, the two sisters, were different. After a few days in the territory, they found it too dull and decided to venture further into the forest.
It wasn’t far from the territory, but the deeper part of the forest often had tier-two Magical Beasts. The sisters fought here to gain resources and also helped in cleaning up the threats to the territory.
With the sisters cleaning up over the past few days, the forest was obviously safer. Regrettably, they didn’t dare to go in too deep as the dangerous aura inside deterred them.
One day later, the new troops completed their training. Du You came to the open area outside the territory to observe the newly trained troops and the previously unobserved power of the armed forces.
After upgrading to tier-two, the numbers of regular Giant Rock Heavy Armored Warriors and light cavalry had increased to 200 per month. But currently, they weren’t at full strength as the upgrade was just done, the total army of the territory was 750 soldiers.
"Alright, show me what you’re good at, one by one."
Du You didn’t beat around the bush, and there was no attempt of rousing speeches. Those were techniques used on common civilians, summoned citizens were completely loyal and didn’t need such methods.
The Giant Rock Heavy Armored Warriors were proficient, he was quite familiar with their capabilities.
The tier-two heavily armored warriors inherited the traits of Giant Rock Heavy Armored Warriors, having excellent defense. Their Dou Qi skills also helped in improving defense.
The lone attack skill, the counterattack, relied on the enemies’ attack to create a backlash. It was useful on the battlefield, but it wasn’t really noticeable for displays.
The light cavalry, the first type of cavalry in the territory, rode Mount Wolves and looked like Wolf Cavalry.
The armor and wolves seemed a bit mismatched, but their combat power was formidable.
The Mount Wolves were fast, strong, and more nimble than most horses. However, they might lack a bit in terms of endurance. The combat power unleashed on the battlefield was far greater than ordinary cavalry.
Mount Wolves were short, which made the cavalry look a bit funny. However, their charge was as powerful as a landslide. They wielded curved swords and bows, using them together strategically.
Mostly, they were used for hit-and-run tactics and usually worked in tandem with their various skills.
Heavy Armored Cavalry, on the other hand, bore a very heavy armor, second only to heavily armored warriors. However, such armor significantly reduced the cavalries’ mobility, requiring a mount.
Although Mount Wolves were good, their level was too low to bring out the power of the Heavy Armored Cavalry. The weight-bearing capability of Mount Wolves was lesser than horses, after a short run they would be exhausted.
After the test, both Du You and Shaliya agreed that it was not appropriate to piece it together , so they planned to train Griffin mounts and let them combine with Heavy Armored Cavalry to form a new branch called Heavy Armored Griffin Knights.
After demonstrating his abilities on the field, Du You found the power of the Heavy Armored Cavalry was substantial, considering they were formidable 19th-level warriors. The released Dou Qi Spiral could be erupted up to 10 meters away, causing considerable damage. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩
Even with Du You testing them by using his shield spell, if ten Heavy Armored Cavalry simultaneously attacked his shield spell, it seemed as if it could break. Although the Heavy Armored Cavalry’s mobility was inadequate, the power of their attack was immense and using a mount would only enhance it.
Just a pity, aerial knights like Du You always believed that having long-range attack capabilities would be better, clearly, these knights are not up to the mark.
The last troop that appeared was the one Du You was looking forward to the most, the Shadow Shooters.
To test these Shadow Shooters, Du You especially called for Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi, who were resting, to take the field. Now, they were both at level 19, just one level below the level 20 Shadow Shooters.
After the test, Du You was surprised to find that these Shadow Shooters could actually put a lot of pressure on the sisters.
"This group is really strong, much better than the Semi-Professionals. They’re like the elites in the ranks of the Demons," Lin Yucha commented.
Keep in mind, this assessment is equivalent to the combat power of relatively poorer professionals at the same level. These are mass-produced troops, not the professionals stacked with Crystal Coins.
"So, can their long-range abilities provide significant help to our territory?"
"Of course, once their numbers increase, even facing Sandpeople’s large aerial troops will not be a problem. It’s a pity they are not cavalry, unable to ride Griffins, otherwise they would definitely be stronger."
After the test, Lin Yushi’s evaluation of the Shadow Shooters was also high.
Du You, with a faint smile, knew that Shaliya had given him a pleasant surprise this time. Although a bad-luck family became extinct because of Shaliya, the Shadow Shooters could be reborn because of him.
Unfortunately, the jobs here could only be enjoyed by the trained soldiers, they couldn’t teach other people.
After the Shadow Shooters, Du You waved, and a group of Griffins flew down. These were level 10 Battle Griffins. As for the Griffin mounts, they could not test them as they had not yet been trained.
The Battle Griffins at the peak of the first tier had higher average levels compared to the wild Griffins. In a conflict, their strength was definitely greater than the wild ones. Du You waved, letting Xiaozi be the enemy of the Griffins in a mock battle.
Du You and others observed from below, "The Griffins trained in the Griffin nest truly live up to their reputation. This distinct difference is due to the unique setting, the combat skills of these Battle Griffins are much better than ordinary Griffins."
"Yes, apart from the lack of experience, wild Griffins of the same rank would probably lose even if they were two-to-one." This was Shaliya’s remark after watching.
