After a period of experiments, today's metal smelting and some alloy manufacturing methods were finally mastered by the blacksmiths under his command. This was the important reason why Jela started to use these tauren.
"Are those tauren ready? Next, we will prepare to form heavy infantry."
To be honest, they don't really lack troops now, but there are some things that can make up for it. Especially the formation of non-undead troops can improve people's morale.
You can't rely on the undead for everything, otherwise there will sometimes be some bad effects.
Anyway, as long as these soldiers are believers, there will be no problem, and they will not rebel against themselves in the future.
"It's ready. I have to say, these tauren are really good materials."
"You also value them." Jela looked at his men with great satisfaction.
"Of course, these tauren are very simple in character and can easily become believers, and each of them is very pious. I think it won't be long before saints appear."
It turns out that orcs still have such benefits, Jela is a little confused.
However, even among orcs, there are not many who can truly become saints. After all, simple thoughts do not fully meet the requirements of saints. Saints not only need to have a new belief in gods, but also to find their own way.
.
If there was no such requirement, then I'm afraid the streets would be full of saints.
Because these two conditions can even be said to be completely contradictory in a sense.
Only some special people have this qualification, and they also need a special opportunity. If this opportunity does not appear in their lifetime, then they will not be able to reach this level in their lifetime.
"And these guys are also very enlightened. I have tested these tauren, and most of them are willing to become undead and continue to serve the gods after death. Moreover, none of them are afraid of death."
I didn't expect that there is such a race. It would not work if it were applied to humans.
Even if they accept the idea of continuing to survive as undead, most of them still don't like it.
Even those who become undead just want to continue or this idea is more important than continuing to serve the gods. Even after many people become undead, their faith levels will decline.
Even if there is no decline, the mind will become complicated and it will be impossible to become a saint.
Those who have prepared before death may be able to change this situation.
"Okay, if that's the case, let's start to form them. The next battle will allow them to go to the battlefield and try their skills."
The subordinates took the order and left, and then began to forge armor and weapons. Each tauren is very suitable for heavy weapons. Speed is not their strong point, but strength is.
So a suit of tightly wrapped armor became their standard equipment.
Some special runes have also been redesigned based on them, allowing their advantages to be better utilized.
In terms of plant weapons, after you made a series of choices, they finally defined the ax as the weapon of the tauren. Not only is it heavy enough, but its attack power is also not weak.
When formed into a group army, it can exert terrifying destructive power.
Even the heavy cavalry would not dare to charge against them easily, otherwise it would not be certain who would win.
If it is a city siege, you can replace some of them with hammers and then destroy the city walls. However, there is still some gap in terms of weapons because there are no suitable runes on them.
"I remember that orcs seem to be very good at things like totems. I don't know if this is the case in our world, but we can study it." Jera frowned looking at the weapon, and then began to think about methods.
From the Book of White Lotus, Jera learned a lot, including the totems that the orcs are good at.
But those were collected from other worlds, and I don’t know how they would be used in this world. These are not a system. The power of people in this world has been suppressed, so no totems have been developed.
But orcs who have reached the demigod level should be able to use totems.
"So now, we should first train a few demigod-level orcs, and then let them conduct research. If successful, we can try to add totems to their weapons and even armor."
In terms of warfare, orcs are even better than humans, just because of these totem sacrifices.
Although human spells are powerful and dangerous, the larger the scale of the war, the worse the effect.
On the contrary, the totem blessing of the orcs does not seem to be a lot of blessing, but the greater the number of people, the stronger the effect. The reason why the orcs can always fight against humans when civilization is inferior to humans is because of these.
Of course, it's not just because of the totem, there are other reasons as well.
But speaking of it, the discipline of the tauren is indeed good, and it is very easy to train.
After only a few days of training, the basic formation had been formed. Jela did not think too much and directly sent the best-performing group of tauren onto the battlefield to test their combat effectiveness through actual combat.
And those tauren who were fed and fed well during this period were all very fanatical and had no idea what death was.
After entering the battlefield, the tauren immediately proved themselves with their powerful defense and violent attacks.
Not far away, someone was holding a special crystal ball. At this time, Jera was watching the battle on the battlefield through this thing. The enemy's cavalry charge had no effect on the Minotaur army.
It's like a wave hitting a rock. Nothing happens to the rock, but the waves shatter it into pieces.
When the tauren walked forward, the neat pace brought great pressure to people.
Although the walking speed was not very fast, the momentum and pressure brought by the action were very terrifying. Before contact was made, the enemy had already begun to collapse, and Jela nodded as he watched.
"Yes, it's really good. This combat power is not much weaker than that of a giant skeleton elephant. If you can train it well and continue to improve, maybe you can be promoted to the level of the main combat legion."
This evaluation was very high, and other people who listened to Jela's words began to have their own thoughts in their hearts.
You know, even heavy cavalry did not receive this kind of evaluation before. Some people began to consider planning to recruit some tauren under their command so that they could have such a powerful army.
Others are beginning to consider whether to use other orcs to replace humans to form a new heavy cavalry regiment.
