After three years of integration and selection, the Ming Dynasty's nearly 20 million border troops, county soldiers, and other troops were reduced to a total of less than 4 million troops. The strength of the troops seems to be small, but its elites are incomparable.
Language. Coupled with the various military formations provided by Liu Yu, the Ming army is no longer comparable to the past.
In terms of the army, among the Mysterious level secret books that Liu Yu obtained after breaking through the extraordinary stage, there are also various military formations. These military formations were also sent to the army by Liu Yu to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army.
Speaking of this, we have to talk about the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower and the Royal Beast Pavilion in Liu Yu's hands. In the past three years, these two things have played a great role, especially the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower, which Liu Yu used as a trial holy place.
The tower made the Ming Dynasty's strength undergo a radical change in just three years.
During the past three years, every year among the armies, after numerous competitions, the most elite troops will be selected and sent to the capital. It is said that their emperor will review the most elite troops. Not only will they receive high rewards, but those who perform well will
Maybe he could stay in the capital and join the Forbidden Army.
After hearing this news, the army was naturally excited. Whether it was becoming the strongest army and being able to stand out from others. Or going to the capital to be inspected by the emperor, it was a dream for these ordinary soldiers.
As a result, the battle for this quota every year is naturally extremely fierce, and the selected troops are definitely the elite in the military. And after these troops arrived in the capital, they were basically sent to Qibao by Liu Yu together with the imperial guards in the capital.
Training in the Linglong Tower.
You must know that the interior of the Linglong Pagoda is full of spiritual energy, and there are phantoms of masters of various levels. And as long as Liu Yu is willing, it will not cause death. It is definitely a holy place for trials. Moreover, the time ratio inside the pagoda is ten to one with the outside world.
Basically, after staying inside for ten years, only one year has passed outside.
Even if it is rotated once a year, within one year of the outside world, these troops have stayed in the Qibao Exquisite Tower for ten years. After ten years, the spiritual energy around them is so strong, and they are constantly pursued by various phantoms.
Provocative, constantly seeking vitality under pressure.
After staying in such an environment for ten years, and with the various advanced secrets provided by Liu Yu, even a soldier with ordinary qualifications is enough to become a master of one party. What's more, the army still fights as a team, and the military formations are mutually exclusive.
Cooperation is ten times and a hundred times more powerful than going alone.
In three years, the Qibao Exquisite Pagoda has trained nearly a million elite troops for Liu Yu. If the spiritual energy had not been lost too much, the burden on the Qibao Exquisite Pagoda was too heavy. Liu Yu really wanted to recruit all the troops from the Ming Dynasty to stay there for a few years.
It's a pity. Reality is reality, and this bite can't satisfy the big fat man. Except for a small number of elites who can stay in it all the time, other lesser troops can only stay in it for a year and then go out immediately and replace them.
One batch.
For the trials of so many people, even if the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda is combined with the Bagua Four Spiritual Formation to more than double the speed of absorbing spiritual energy, it is still insufficient. Liu Yu has to go to the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda every month
After putting in the hard-to-obtain top-grade Yuan Stone, the pagoda could barely support itself without going on strike.
Compared with ordinary armies, these armies went to the capital and after returning to the original army, these armies seemed to be completely transformed. Both their overall strength and personal strength were greatly improved. The army after returning from the capital
, where is the army? It's more like a killing machine that kills people without blinking an eye.
Ten years of training have made these troops not only loyal to Liu Yu, but also powerful in combat. Basically all of these troops have become masters, and the military formations are skilled in coordination, as if they have become one with them.
The opponent that had been difficult to defeat before came back and was defeated instantly without even a single charge.
If these troops were not people they knew before, some people would really think that they had been tricked. After three years, nearly a quarter of the Ming Dynasty's troops had completed the one-year trial in the Qiqibao Exquisite Pagoda.
The rest of the army could only look at it with envy, and then they worked harder and harder. They tried to make a trip to the capital and be reborn.
In addition to the army, the Five Elements Army newly formed by Liu Yu, the major masters in the Ming Dynasty, as well as various outstanding young men collected from the Ming Dynasty, as well as masters such as the Red Flame Sect and the Hundred Flowers Sect, have been in the Qibao Lingling Pagoda.
Practice.
This number is only ten thousand, but the spiritual energy it consumes is far more than the hundreds of thousands of troops sent every year. It is no wonder that the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda cannot afford the supply and consumes too much.
Not to mention the spiritual energy consumed by these top masters in their cultivation and breakthroughs, it is an astronomical figure. During the trial alone, the spiritual energy consumed by those phantoms is enough for Liu Yu to bear. What's more, every time the space is moved into the
After killing the phantoms, a large amount of spiritual energy will be consumed just to restore these phantoms.
In the past three years, most of Liu Yu's wealth was consumed in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Because Liu Yu could not find many high-level spiritual beasts in the Royal Beast Pavilion, the consumption was not too great.
big.
After talking about the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, it’s time to talk about the Beast Control Pavilion. As a Beast Control Pavilion that can tame beasts, Liu Yu was very fond of it, and even pointed to this thing to cultivate a powerful alien beast cavalry for himself.
But when it comes to the Beast Control Pavilion, Liu Yu loves and hates it. Firstly, this thing cannot transform spiritual beasts by itself, and secondly, it cannot provide spiritual energy for its own use. Liu Yu can only use Yuanshi to provide it. Those various things
Liu Yu was also asked to get the spiritual beasts by himself, catch them or buy them himself.
But high-level spiritual beasts are full of treasures, and even their corpses are expensive, let alone those that are alive and kicking. The living ones are really too expensive, and Liu Yu simply can't afford them. Just because of the Ming Dynasty
That little tax can't buy much at all, let alone a gold-swallowing behemoth like the Royal Beast Pavilion.
As a last resort, Liu Yu could only send his own masters deep into the mountains to collect some spiritual beasts. Poor, none of these high-ranking masters were full of arrogance. Under Liu's order, he could only go
When doing the work of a hunter, one should not do it too blatantly.
You know, the larger mountain ranges are guarded by high-level alien beasts, and there are even holy beasts in many mountain ranges. These holy beasts are all registered with the orc tribe, Liu Yu is not just a real orc tribe.
It's all about it, so I don't dare to do it too much.
But the low-level spirit beasts Liu Yu no longer looked down upon, and the higher-level spirit beasts were too difficult to catch, so Liu Yu's road to forming a cavalry was not smooth. In this way, after three years of continuous accumulation, Liu Yu still managed to build a cavalry for Liu Yu.
I gathered together a few different groups of exotic beast cavalry.
Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty has tens of thousands of cavalry composed of low-level spirit beasts, most of which are wolf cavalry, elephant cavalry and other groups. The cavalry composed of intermediate spirit beasts is pitiful, with barely a few hundred. As for the high-level spirit beasts, there are only a few hundred cavalry.
There are only a few dozen beasts in size. The top spiritual beasts are too difficult to catch, and they often surround the holy beasts. Capturing their genes has aroused the vigilance of the holy beasts. After three years of catching, there are only two or three kittens.
In order to cope with all kinds of huge expenses, Liu Yu had no choice but to send someone to Zhongzhou. He bought some of the heaven-level elixirs in his hand in the middle of the week of the Song Dynasty, and also brought two Zhuyan pills.
Pills, two life-extending pills. I heard that such pills are quite valuable, even much higher than the heavenly pills.
Sold in a prosperous place like Zhongzhou, such elixirs can better reflect their value. As a result, these elixirs brought back a total of about 600 top-quality yuan stones for Liu Yu, and he almost ran into someone who was jealous of money on the way.
Lord, if the people sent there weren't strong enough, they might have been lost in Zhongzhou.
Among them, the elixirs such as the Zhuyan Dan and the Life-Extension Dan were sold for nearly 400 yuan of top-quality Yuan stones. Liu Yu had to sigh, as expected, the land of Zhongzhou is full of outstanding people, extremely rich, and many people with money are stupid.
There are so many.
With the support of these top-quality Yuan stones, Liu Yu temporarily relieved his urgent need and barely survived the past three years. However, the simultaneous consumption of the Beast Royal Pavilion and the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda in the past three years has almost exhausted the Yuan stones in Liu Yu's hands.
If we no longer think of a way to solve this problem, it will be time to stop in a few months. (To be continued...)
