Since the meat of the Giant Beast is so valuable, and clearing away the Giant Beast can make the environment surrounding the Dragon Nest Tribe much safer, naturally, there is a plan for this purpose. After all, no one knows if mercenaries might attack again in the future as they did before.
Moreover, during the cold winter when the land is covered in ice and snow, it’s the easiest time to spot the activities of Giant Beasts. Coupled with numerous Dragon Nest Beastmen idly resting in the tribe without any productive activities, this is the best time to hunt Giant Beasts.
"Giant Beast, huh..."
Listening to Vini’s plan, Austin thought for a while but couldn’t find any valid reasons to refuse.
"Alright, but be cautious when tackling the Giant Beast as they are very powerful. Try to bring along the Dragon Vein Beastmen; be prepared to minimize losses."
Austin did not plan to participate in hunting the Giant Beast but intended to give his full support, believing that having him safeguard the Dragon Nest Tribe would prevent any danger. Additionally, training his clan members further align with improving his clan’s strength.
"Yes, rest assured, Your Highness!"
Vini replied firmly, then excitedly left the Dragon’s Nest.
Watching Vini’s departing figure, Austin contemplated an important issue hidden within the Dragon Nest Army.
"The Extraordinary Beastmen are far superior to ordinary Beastmen, so regular military training and tactical drills are no longer suitable for them. I wonder how those in the Human World incorporate Warrior Mages into their armies?"
Considering the combat power of his clan, Austin began to think about the differentiation within his subordinates’ army.
With strict discipline and systematic training, the ordinary Dragon Nest Beastmen army was capable of confronting beastman troops several times their number in the Kawa Great Forest. This collective strength and discipline were vital for Austin’s clan, growing swiftly from a handful to their current status.
However, this training method significantly boosted ordinary Beastmen’s combat power but was somewhat inadequate for the Extraordinary Beastmen.
Military training represents the essence of warfare history over millennia from Austin’s previous world, and even though Austin was not a general, he could comprehend and adapt these essences to enhance the ordinary Beastmen’s strength. The source of this content ɪs NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt
But this only applied to ordinary Beastmen.
"Troublesome indeed, as in my previous world, there were no foundations for Extraordinary Abilities, making it impossible to reference. Meanwhile, the Human World is too distant, lacking opportunities to study the structure of Extraordinary armies here."
Even though trained Extraordinary Beastmen improved their combat power when cooperating as a military unit to some extent, Austin felt there probably existed ways to expedite their capability.
"Perhaps only when our forces expand to contact the border and truly confront the Human World’s military might, could we grasp something about it."
Most knowledge of marching formations is a secret passed down among nobles, and even the Extraordinary mercenaries captured by Austin lacked understanding. They merely knew that in various duchies within the Human World, Warrior Mages were independently regimented, but deeper secrets eluded them.
"No, although my previous reality lacked the foundation for Extraordinary Abilities, I can draw from the arrangements in fantasy works!"
Austin’s eyes suddenly brightened as he thought of an ingenious idea.
In the world of rich cultural works from his previous life, various films, animations, and novels surged, most engaged in worlds with Extraordinary Abilities, potentially offering inspiration!
But soon, Austin felt dispirited again.
Because in his mind, those entertainment works yielded little reference value.
Works like the Avengers, Hero Guild in One Punch Man, Fire Shadow Leaf Village in Naruto, World Government Navy in One Piece—all revolved around single force overpowering many, rather than group cooperation among Extraordinary individuals.
Though entities like Ninja Village or Navy were also military forces with many Extraordinary Powers within the framework, true teamwork in combat was scarcely mentioned, offering little reference.
As for those novels on some sites, whether fantasy or immortal hero tales, these protagonists dominated the world single-handedly, neither involving groups nor armies.
Did they mention some nation or faction in the background that needed formation and arrays among soldiers to exhibit Extraordinary soldiers’ potential, much world’s armies might? But without understanding that knowledge, even referencing purposes were absent.
"Exploring the way of battle formations is hard, but it’s possible to refer to other elements to boost the clan’s strength."
In One Piece, it’s rumored that the Navy Six Techniques were the most powerful body techniques created by summarizing all military techniques, though Austin was unsure of its correctness. The concept could still be adapted here.
For instance, during countless battles, experienced Beastmen could distill and merge their enemy engagement tactics, creating simple combat techniques, while referencing combat techniques release methods, eventually developing their species’ combat body techniques.
Moreover, initially, the Dragon Nest Beastmen’s combat experience wasn’t very extensive, directly borrowing from Navy Six Techniques to create their body techniques was feasible.
Since Austin’s Thunder Forging Body Technique and Electromagnetic Cannon were successful examples of borrowing from anime and novels, why not attempt others?
"Indeed, various principles interlink, especially in this world where Extraordinary Abilities manifest. As long as there is creativity, everything is possible!"
Inside the Dragon’s Nest, Austin’s eyes blazed with intense brilliance.
During this relatively idle cold winter, he seemed to find something interesting to do again. Since successfully transforming Beastmen, this marked his second attempt involving Extraordinary Power adaptation, promising another significant boost to his clan’s strength if successful.
