The king only needs to focus on the overall strategy and consider the future, while the two generals of the garrison need to focus on more specific matters.
There is no condition for large-scale recruitment of magic personnel, and the two generals, Xiao Lei and William, have not given up on trying to increase their combat effectiveness.
The power that Wang said came from the "Great Mother" is indeed very strong. The 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment and the 6th Battalion and 1st Company of the 2nd Regiment have very significant advantages in dangerous operations.
The military itself has systematically analyzed this advantage.
First of all, demons will also be troubled by experience. For example, demons who are accustomed to attacking humans will often have magic ballistic deviations when dealing with hybrids. Similarly, these hundreds of people who are stronger than ordinary sharp blades in all aspects will also suffer from the rhythm of movement and Others are different and receive certain blow reduction.
Strike reduction is used here instead of dodge advantage, because on the battlefield, those who are close will be killed. The magic demons can only attack from a hundred meters away. The longer the distance, the faster and slower the movements, so as not to cause harm to the enemy. Vision and reaction can't keep up.
In addition to strike reduction, a stronger body can also allow the sharp blades of the two troops to withstand greater strike intensity.
After many years of actual combat statistics, it has been found that individuals with sharp blades who have received the blessing of strength have a very strong defense against third-ring spells. In the past few years, there has only been one case of a fatal blow and an eye being penetrated by a piercing spell.
A lot of credit goes to the thick armor, but even if the impact of the armor is not taken into account, the gap between the two is huge.
The headquarters summarized several years of fighting and expressed it in numbers. The intensity of the attack on a regular battalion-level unit would kill 10 people. Even if it were tripled, it would not easily kill a battalion.
The main reason is that the strength of the first battalion has been able to ignore the direct hits of most second-level magics. If they are not trapped in the sea of fire, generally only third-level spells can cause enough damage.
With the power of the "Great Mother", it is natural to be strong.
But the generals were not satisfied.
The two of them didn't say anything, but their intelligence had not declined. They had some guesses about the power of the "Great Mother". Wang must have been unable to maintain a larger scale of blessings, so the size of the existing reconnaissance force stopped here. .
Is there any way to find an alternative to achieve a broader increase in soldier strength?
Of course there is, it’s local fighting spirit.
Fighting qi is not qi. It is actually still the application of magic power, but it does not have the ability to be released at middle and low levels and can only act on oneself.
This thing was developed by ancient mages specifically for guys who didn't have enough brainpower. It later spawned a lot of types. The threshold is much lower than magic, and it is easier to form combat effectiveness in a single direction. Of course, there are also more difficult situations.
Most of the fighting spirit disassembles the enchanting effect and gradually develops instincts during training, or simply uses foreign objects to achieve the enchanting effect.
For example, the second stage (second ring) of most Dou Qi will contain the stone skin effect, but it does not require a complete spell to be cast at once like magic. It will be divided into several stages to form a permanent effect only for itself. Some of the Dou Qi needs to have The mage assists in casting related enchantments.
The two generals have been collecting relevant information and materials for several years, and using their own soldiers for training and testing, they have also encountered many problems.
The threshold for fighting spirit has been lowered, but it still requires a certain amount of magic knowledge, and Sharp Blade Brain is not easy to use.
Although General Xiao Lei has reservations about this, the reality is that most sharp blades cannot reach General Xiao Lei's level.
It is this average intelligence that is slightly lower than that of ordinary people, which makes it impossible for many Dou Qi to be promoted throughout the army.
The situation of the mixed-blood legion is also very different.
Intelligence is a very complex thing. It requires not only innate biological conditions, but also acquired training. Some mixed-bloods have a good mental foundation, but due to their childhood conditions, the average performance of the 21st and 22nd regiments is similar to that of the Blade Legion.
The Night Clan has a huge advantage in this regard. The predecessors of this second generation of disaster, the Night Walkers themselves have retained human living habits and culture, and maintained the basic form of civilization in the previous world. Although the degradation is quite serious, at least they have maintained Received basic oral education.
This advantage allowed William to complete the selection of Douqi last year and start promoting it in the 11th and 12th regiments this year.
Although the two generals are the commanders of their respective corps, they also have the identity of commander-in-chief of the garrison. William's own work has come to an end, and he still has to worry about Xiao Lei.
In the headquarters and the city defense army, more than a dozen control groups were formed to test various fighting spirits.
In the end, there are two options left, and you can only choose one of them.
One type is the fighting spirit gained from the prisoners of war in Fatel, which is somewhat popular among the orc army. Its advantage is that the threshold is low enough and the upper limit is good. The disadvantage is that it is easy to learn and difficult to master.
The mastery level is so difficult that it often takes a soldier with more than ten years of experience to become a centurion... which is equivalent to blessing several three-ring enchantments.
Heroism is not highly valued in the garrison. It is best for everyone to make progress together and stay put. The fighting spirit of the orcs obviously requires talent.
If there was no better choice, they would have to choose the orc one, but with the opening of the Magic Academy, they still found a better one.
This is a piece of fighting spirit from a large family used to train private soldiers. It is donated to the magic academy. It is also the most common type of source. The disadvantage is that the upper limit is relatively low. It can only reach the third ring of enchantment strength at most, but it can be enough to ensure absolute Most are physically strong enough to complete basic training and study within two years.
The effects of the three Dou Qi stages are also very simple and clear.
The first stage... had no effect. The mage's one link was criticized, and the same was true for fighting spirit. This stage was mainly about learning supporting knowledge and ensuring that the physical attributes could meet the requirements of subsequent training.
In the second stage, there are only two representative enchantments, Stoneskin and Strength.
The third stage is dangerous intuition and deflection.
As the name suggests, Danger Intuition is mainly used to sense hostility, just like a person who is affected by the power of the "Great Mother" can easily detect being stared at from behind. It is the same way.
Deflection is more inclined to the higher mystical direction. Its effect is to "materialize" willpower, and it is mainly used to interfere with ballistic spells.
Mage's deflection is very powerful, and it is also a life-saving weapon at the same level as the magic shield in the eyes of the fourth-level and above mages. Master-level mages can even directly deflect single-target magic below the fourth and lower levels. If it is just deflected, fourth- and fifth-level mages will not can do it.
After all, people who use grudges are not mentally proficient. Deflection on them will seem awkward, but it can also effectively reduce spell damage.
Those who do not learn spells in the last two stages of Douqi mainly use magic patterns to replace magic circuits, which can also be understood as tattoo ink made of special materials. However, some parts need to be tattooed deeper, which is quite painful to do.
The knowledge content of this set of Dou Qi is extremely low. As long as the entire Dou Qi learns to activate and deactivate the four enchanting effects, the scale of the magic patterns is also relatively limited, so that it will not be covered with tattoos all over the body.
The Night Clan troops have already popularized the fighting spirit in the second stage, which is more complicated. However, the basic principle also relies on the effect of magic patterns, but there are more options, and the assassination direction is more silent.
Dou Qi can have a permanent effect, but it can also be used by different people.
Based on the calculation of 1 point for the second ring, 2 points for the third ring, and 3 points for the fourth ring, people who have not learned systematic meditation knowledge can generally only support 3 to 5 points of enchantment for 24 hours, which should correspond to the body's natural magic replenishment speed.
Therefore, it is still necessary to have the ability to relieve it, otherwise the headaches and fainting caused by the lack of magic power will reduce the combat effectiveness of the warrior to zero.
The headquarters received the evaluation results from the testers and confirmed that there were no negative effects, and quickly launched the army-wide popularization.
As for the magic pattern ink, it’s a coincidence that its main ingredient is gemstone powder…if it wasn’t, I wouldn’t have chosen it.
