Chapter 951: Leading the Female Snow Leopard Warrior By the Nose
Advanced orcs had many shortcomings.
However, that did not include refusing to admit defeat.
A loss was a loss, and a win was a win.
Although the pride of being an ace made it difficult for the female snow leopard warrior to accept the performance of losing all three group battles…
Meng Chao’s blunt words did not make her angry.
She only became more curious. “Do you know how to train these servants to fight using the… tactics that you mentioned?”
“Of course.”
Meng Chao smiled faintly.
If he had to command thousands of soldiers and horses, or engage in such ostentatious operations such as coordinating the various arms of the mechanized army, or integrating the sea, land, and sky into a strike, he indeed knew nothing.
However, the number of soldiers was around a hundred, and the coordination of the platoon’s battle tactics was something that he had heard his retired father from the Red Dragon Army brag about ever since he was young. It was to the point that he sounded like a broken record.
In addition to the Ghost Tribe in his previous life, the Abnormal Beast Research Department’s ninth special search team in this life had dozens of special combat team members who formed a combat unit to carry out all kinds of high-difficulty missions.
If the Ghost Tribe, which specialized in infiltrating alien civilizations, were responsible for a.s.sa.s.sinating, eavesdropping, stealing, fireproofing, exploding, and causing riots, it would be the sharpest poison blade.
However, the purpose of its establishment was to dig out the monsters that lurked in human society and prevent internal chaos in Dragon City. The Research Department’s Team Nine was the strongest shield.
Meng Chao was the one who held a sword in his left hand and a shield in his right.
Moreover, through Broken Star Club and Battle G.o.d Palace, he got to know a large number of basic commanders and young officers from the Red Dragon Army, including Long Feijun, the “Railway Gun.”
Apart from sparring with each other in martial arts, the only other people who could compete with each other were the special forces’ tactical drill sergeants.
Even if he had never eaten pork before, Meng Chao had seen plenty of pig trotters.
Perhaps it was nothing in Dragon City, but at Picturesque Orchid Lake, where their tactics were relatively monotonous and the concept of “tank coordination” was almost zero, Meng Chao was definitely a “tactical master!”
“Tell me about it?”
Ice Storm’s interest grew stronger and stronger.
Usually, if a rat person dared to be so confident in front of a clan warrior, he was either crazy or had some real ability.
Ice Storm felt that Meng Chao had both.
“I just told you how I used to train the servant soldiers. In fact, all the gladiators in the Blood Skull Arena, no… One could say that all the warriors in Picturesque Orchid Lake’s clans train their servant soldiers like that. Unless the servant soldiers can prove their strength in a battle of honor, there’s really no need to invest too much resources and energy in the servant soldiers.”
Ice Storm stared at Meng Chao and said, “But since you are so confident, I can give you a chance. Tell me, how are you going to train these servants in the next five days so that they can become real warriors?”
“I’m afraid that I won’t be able to turn any of the servants except for Leaf into real warriors in five days.”
Meng Chao changed the subject and said, “Fortunately, our opponents are not well-trained iron-blood soldiers. At most, some of the servants have fought one or two more group battles than us.
“Five days is enough to deal with these shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
“First of all, I suggest that you halve the training time and quant.i.ty of the servants, Lady Ice Storm.”
“What?”
Ice Storm suspected that something was wrong with his ears. “Halve them, not double them?”
“That’s right. Halve them.”
Meng Chao explained, “Sure, the longer the training time is, the better it is. The greater the training quant.i.ty, the better it is. However, even the Turan people’s flesh and blood have their limits. If they train crazily without caring about their physical condition, they will quickly run out of energy and burn up their lives before they defeat the enemy.
“Before we were captured and brought to the Blood Skull Arena, we had gone through a long journey and all kinds of torture. Many of us were tired and hungry. Some of us were wounded. We were like a bowstring that had been stretched to its limit. If we kept applying pressure, our nerves would snap.”
“Nerves?”
Ice storm stared at Meng Chao. “It’s surprising to hear such words from a rat.”
Meng Chao shrugged.
He did not mind it. He even intentionally revealed part of his mysterious ident.i.ty so that Ice Storm would not treat him like an ordinary rat.
Of course, the Turan civilization, which was still in the tribal era, also had the term “nerves.” They even had a deep understanding of the human body’s neural network and cell structure. That was also something beyond Meng Chao’s expectations.
However, that was not the main point at the moment, and Meng Chao continued to say, “Believe me, Lady Ice Storm. Squeezing the servants for their maximum strength will only shatter their emotions and will, turning them into mindless killing machines. They might even regard death as the greatest relief.
“Yes. Perhaps, on the battlefield, such killing machines will pounce on death without any hesitation.
“But it’s useless to not be afraid of death. Death is not victory. It’s only victory if you live to the end, isn’t it?”
Ice Storm’s gaze quickly swept over the wounds on her crooked soldiers.
She nodded thoughtfully. “Continue.”
“Secondly, I think that we should focus on specialized training in speed and agility. After all, Lady Ice Storm, you won the t.i.tle of ‘ace’ by relying on your speed and agility. If your soldiers can’t keep up with your rhythm, then not only will they be unable to coordinate with your attacks, they will be a huge burden.”
Meng Chao said, “This is the reason why I chose the servant soldiers, who are relatively small in size. I didn’t choose those muscular men, including that guy who has the bloodline of the Barbarian Elephant Clan, who looks like a wall.”
Ice Storm recalled her previous group battles.
In the previous few battles, she had chosen quite a number of muscular men.
However, it was just as Meng Chao had said.
Whenever the two clan warriors activated their totem armors…
No matter if they were strong or weak, the rat militia would not be able to withstand a single blow from the totem warriors.
If the strong ones ran slowly, they would most likely become a burden to the main general.
On the contrary, the smart ones with small and agile bodies would usually be able to live a little longer!
“Anything else?” Ice Storm continued to ask.
“Also, the training time and amount can be halved, but I hope that you can spend more time training with your servants, Lady Ice Storm. Also, during training, you must activate your totem armor and release your strongest killing intent.”
Meng Chao seriously said, “This is to train your servants’ adaptability and resilience. According to my observation, when two totem warriors are engaged in an intense battle, they may not have the leisure to deal with the other’s servants, but the servants will still easily collapse. This is the reason why they cannot withstand the totem warriors’ powerful aura.
“If you can summon totem armors every day and let the servant soldiers train with an extremely cold murderous aura, the servant soldiers will slowly get used to it, Lady Ice Storm. When they reach the arena or the real battlefield, it will not be easy for them to panic and collapse completely.”
This suggestion contained Meng Chao’s selfish intention.
If Ice Storm accepted his suggestion, he would have the opportunity to carefully study the so-called “totem armors” and what was going on.
But the suggestion itself was not a problem.
Even the Red Dragon Army had training methods that allowed recruits to lie on their backs and watch as heavy tanks and engineering vehicles drove toward them. They were two tracks covered in the flesh and bones of monsters that rolled over their bodies.
Besides actual combat, this was the best way to let a recruit mature as soon as possible.
Ice Storm nodded.
Once again, Meng Chao’s words made sense.
In fact, similar training methods were not difficult to understand.
It was just that no clan warrior was willing to waste so much energy on a mere rat people.
After all, there were as many cannon fodder as needed. They could barely form a battle formation. Under the pressure of the clan warriors, they would rush towards the enemy like a swarm of bees. That was enough.
If even the servants could be trained into elites, what was the point of having professional warriors?
However, Ice Storm had other thoughts.
Casanova Bloodhoof’s aggressive gaze appeared in her heart again.
The five clans were about to begin their battle.
Looking at the entire Orchid Lake, the Gold Clan that ranked first in the war, and the Blood Hoof Clan that ranked second, were bound to have a world-shaking collision for the throne of War Chief.
If he, who had betrayed the Gold Clan, did not carry out the Blood Bestowing Ceremony and officially joined the Blood Hoof Clan, n.o.body would believe him, let alone give him enough soldiers, resources, and freedom.
However, he had an unspeakable reason to not carry out the Blood Bestowing Ceremony.
“Casanova is already suspicious of me.”
Ice storm said to herself, “Before we completely fall out, the more soldiers I can control, the better, and the stronger, the better!”
Although every time she summoned the totem armor, the consumption of mandrake fruits and totem beast flesh would double…
Maintaining the totem armor for a long time would consume an astronomical amount of resources.
But Ice Storm still decided to agree with Meng Chao’s suggestion.
This was another thing that made her feel very… angry but powerless.
She always felt that she, as the ace of the Blood Skull Arena, seemed to have been led by the nose by this black-haired and black-eyed rodent!
Even though this guy who called himself the Reaper was most likely not a proper rodent…
She was still very unhappy.
“Anything else?”
She could not help but agree with Meng Chao’s suggestion, but she frowned even more. The female snow leopard warrior said coldly, “By doing the above three things, you can guarantee my victory.
“Also, I will personally help the 29 servants, including leaf, adjust their strength, ma.s.sage their tendons, unclog their bloodlines, and teach them a few moves that can be quickly mastered. The most basic but most refined killing techniques.”
“Of course,” Meng Chao said casually. “However, the effect depends on the quant.i.ty and quality of the food and the secret medicines.
“Not only the food and the secret medicines for the servant soldiers, but also my portion. How much and how good is it.
“After all, I haven’t recovered from my serious injury yet, and I can’t exert my full strength. Adjusting my strength, ma.s.saging my tendons, unclogging my bloodlines, and teaching the techniques will consume a lot of energy. What do you think, Lady Ice Storm?”
