After declaring war loudly, Xiao Yu focused his energy on his first truly advantageous weapon.
This is a long-handled weapon made with reference to Fang Tianhua Halberd, the weapon of the god of war Lu Bu in the game Dynasty Warriors.
Xiao Yu originally wanted to refer to Changshan Zhao Zilong's gentian spear, but then he thought about the legend of Lucky E, a spearman from ancient times, and gave up on this immature idea.
The shaped weapon is 215 centimeters long, and the moon blade at its widest point is about 28 centimeters. The head is forged from steel alloy and the craftsman's secret method, and the handle is made from aluminum alloy to reduce weight.
As far as the full-painted halberd is concerned, both the body shape and the total weight are much lighter and smaller than the Fangtian painted halberd that the research parties believe.
But Xiao Yu was already quite satisfied. He was not the god of war who beat Lu Bu and the red rabbit among men, so it was better to keep the weapons together.
Xiao Yu named this fake Fang Tian Painted Halberd Thunder Painted Halberd!
It means that this painted halberd has the power of thunder!
Relying on the excellent electric shock components and three small batteries provided by Fengwu Jiuchongtian, and by asking craftsmen to lay wires in the inner tube and other mechanical means, Xiao Yu can press the mechanism when waving the thunder halberd, and he can draw the halberd in the moon.
A strong electric current is generated between the blade and the gun tip.
According to the electric shock data provided by Fengwu Jiuchongtian, the intensity of this current exceeds that of many self-defense devices and is enough to knock down an adult man with one blow.
To deal with the creatures of Lilliput, Xiao Yu believed that such electric current would be no less powerful than those wizards specializing in thunder and lightning.
Through previous combat experience, we can find that against those dark-type witchcraft, there are not many that are more effective than this kind of thunder and lightning power.
After Xiao Yu got the Thunder Painted Halberd, he immediately ran to the depths of the uninhabited mine and learned combat skills with the help of several weapon masters invited by the Aenodia wizard apprentice.
Most of these weapon masters are extremely talented, but they are warriors from civilian backgrounds. After growing up through fighting in battle, they are unable to be promoted to knights due to various physical sequelae.
Due to the bottleneck in strength, they had no choice but to focus on honing their skills, thus becoming recognized as weapon masters by the soldiers, and qualified to open a training ground to train soldiers in combat skills.
The army led by Xiao Yu occupied Iron Iron Fort. I don't know anything else, but at least the weapon masters in the fort were used by Xiao Yu.
Under the guidance of weapons masters like them, Xiao Yu gradually learned how to exert force on his body when using the Thunder Painting Halberd, and how to make and withdraw moves so as not to injure himself.
This training continued until the day the army set out. Perhaps it was because the Spirit-enlightening Potion improved Xiao Yu's learning ability? Xiao Yu's training went very smoothly, although he still could not master any advanced power-generating skills.
However, the basic uses of the Thunder Painting Halberd's moves are already clear to the mind, and can be executed naturally and smoothly at any time.
"The army moves out!"
At the main entrance of the camp, the King of Steel City, Enric, rode a horse and sat at the entrance in person, pulled out his sword and gave orders to the entire army.
After a period of response, the legionnaires who had already formed a square formation held flags, gripped their weapons, marched in unison, and marched out of the camp in a long snake formation.
The sound of thousands of people stepping in unison resounded through the sky, and thousands of spears advanced side by side, raised high, like a forest of moving spears.
The cavalry under General Babu have also been transformed into real cavalry. With sufficient financial support, the horses have been replaced by stronger and heavy-duty war horses, and they have all been covered with iron armor.
As soon as they moved, they immediately overwhelmed the momentum of other troops.
Sitting on the electric tricycle, Xiao Yu tied the Thunder Painted Halberd to the side of the car, looked at the mighty army following him, and felt a sense of heroism brewing in his heart.
"The army marching this time consists of eight thousand spearmen in phalanx, two thousand crossbowmen, three thousand sword and shield soldiers, and one thousand iron cavalry."
At this time, the Aenodia wizard apprentice, together with several extraordinary barbarians, rested on Xiao Yu's shoulders. He took the list provided by General Babu and read to Xiao Yu:
"There are also 5,500 newly recruited mercenaries and rebels from all walks of life, plus 30,000 barbarian warriors."
"The total army has 49,500 people!"
After Ainodia finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Yu.
"Is that almost 50,000?" Xiao Yu said softly: "What about Grand Duke Yanan's side? Is it still an army of 100,000?"
"Yesterday, a spy reported that Grand Duke Yanan suddenly put the entire royal capital under martial law and culled suspicious elements everywhere who were suspected of leaking information."
Aenodia replied: "So we didn't get the latest information. We only know that as of the day before yesterday, Archduke Na Yanan had gathered an army of no less than 150,000 people!"
"According to the data, there are only 300,000 people living in Ironforge Castle, the royal capital." Xiao Yu was slightly startled and said, "Where did so many soldiers come from?"
"As long as they have money, there are a lot of poor mercenaries in our area who are willing to sacrifice their lives." The Aenodia wizard apprentice said with a bitter smile:
"Your Highness, you don't know something. There are many villages and cottages in the mountainous areas around the kingdom."
"These places are poor and remote, and mercenaries have been a way out since ancient times. Often a village is a mercenary group, and all adult men are members of the group."
"With Grand Duke Yanan's financial resources and connections, if we have enough time, it will not be difficult to attract tens of thousands more troops."
Speaking of this, Aenodia also secretly lamented that the failure of King Anric of the Steel City was justifiable. Their royal family had long been far different from the family of the Grand Duke of Yanan. No wonder they could not get the sympathy and support of the great nobles.
support.
If he is not overthrown in this life, he will be stripped of his last bit of royal power in the next life.
The only thing that people didn't expect was the variables brought about by the giant's intervention.
Thinking of this, the Aenodia wizard apprentice continued: "It is worth noting that the intelligence mentioned that there are traces of the underground race dark fairies on the streets of the royal capital. The rumors have obviously been confirmed to be true."
"We must beware of the special reinforcements from Grand Duke Yanan. In addition, a certain noble family deliberately released news to us."
"Released on purpose? Humph, these aristocratic families!" Xiao Yu couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.
"what news?"
"The Grand Duke of Yanan has contacted neighboring countries and is likely to reach some kind of agreement."
"In other words, will officials from other countries intervene in this war?"
Xiao Yu rode an electric bike with great pride and said, "What are you afraid of? If they really dare to intervene, wouldn't they just give us an excuse to invade them?"
"Invasion of... another country?" Even though the Aenodia wizard apprentice had already felt it, he still felt very shocked when he heard Xiao Yu's unabashed words.
Since the founding of the Gangdu Kingdom, it has been on the defensive for hundreds of years. Fighting out... has only existed in the dreams of every passionate man.
Unexpectedly, the protector of the kingdom had already wanted to fight out and invade other countries!
"Are you surprised?" Xiao Yu patted his thunder halberd.
"Didn't I tell you earlier?"
Xiao Yu looked into the distance and said with a faint smile: "When I met your king, I said..."
"A mere steel capital kingdom cannot accommodate me!"
