Chapter 829: Chapter 829: Anyone Would Be Jealous
After experimenting with several groups and comparing them, Zhao Guang was quite satisfied with the level of combat.
“Hmm, very good. At this speed, it won’t take a year for them to reach the level of advanced Thunder Warriors.”
Indeed, it’s that fast. Although this Magic Pattern Technique is somewhat opportunistic, its speed in training is truly unparalleled. The biggest drawback is perhaps that it may shorten one’s lifespan.
However, thinking about having an entire advanced army in a year is thrilling. If thousands of advanced warriors are available, even facing those special troops shouldn’t be much of a challenge.
As long as one can deplete the power of the special military formation, the opponent will be the one getting defeated in the end.
Zhao Guang recalled that army that drew upon the Mystic Armored Turtle and began to ponder silently.
But no matter what, it seems the opponent’s method of consolidating power has a certain advantage.
At this moment, people around were envious. They could see the potential and strength of the Thunder Warrior troop. Many began to indirectly inquire about it and some nobles even requested to be allocated Thunder Warriors as guards.
Zhao Guang rejected them all. His own people hadn’t been trained yet, so there’s no time to attend to them.
Some people really overstep their bounds, thinking this is akin to flying troops. They need to know a Thunder Warrior is an advanced warrior, and how do they value that?
The flying troops are at most a flying mount, with their own strength still relying on personal training.
Just then, Coscola unexpectedly knelt on one knee and shouted, “Master, please let me become a Thunder Warrior.”
Zhao Guang was taken aback: “What’s your idea? You must know the downside of a Thunder Warrior. Once the Magic Pattern adheres, your original Combat Energy can’t be used and can only be dispersed.”
“I know,” Coscola couldn’t possibly be unaware of the flaws of Thunder Warriors.
“Then you know the lifespan will be shortened, right? If you continuously train in Combat Energy, you will live longer.”
Coscola exclaimed: “I know, but without becoming a Thunder Warrior, I can at most be an advanced warrior in my lifetime. I hope to contribute more to the master.”
Is that the case? After all, Coscola was initially an incredibly vital combat force.
When building the territory, apart from Zhao Guang the Lord, Coscola was almost the strongest.
But as the territory developed, Coscola’s weaknesses appeared. His original talent wasn’t top-notch, and he revised his Combat Energy training midway, leaving many hidden dangers.
Furthermore, the initial Combat Energy training wasn’t high-level, nearly exhausting his potential.
A year from now, any subordinate could easily surpass him, weakening his leadership.
Moreover, Coscola had his personal reasons; now that he has a family and children, he hopes to leave a better starting point and resources for them.
Thus, his position must not be relinquished, and it is better to let himself become a Thunder Warrior.
Coscola understood his master’s vision; once the Thunder Warrior was verified successful, the entire territory’s soldiers would be replaced by Thunder Warriors, at least the ordinary soldiers.
At that time, he definitely had to lead the Thunderbolt Warrior Corps.
However, if his attributes were unsuitable and his strength not formidable, his performance would increasingly deteriorate.
Especially when his subordinates’ strength grows stronger, the consequences are foreseeable. Therefore, it’s better to join. As long as the master researches stronger Runes, he certainly won’t be excluded.
By then, he could at least aspire for the strength of a Great Knight.
Even if the lifespan is shortened, as a mercenary, Coscola never believed he could live long.
“I don’t want to be weak.” Coscola expressed determinedly.
Zhao Guang nodded: “Alright, then I agree. Go and see who else wishes to give up Combat Energy and can transfer, but ensure all downsides are communicated.”
Other drawbacks weren’t significant, but the lifespan reduction issue was definitely a problem.
In stable conditions where life isn’t threatened, most wouldn’t choose this powerful yet life-impacting training method.
Though eighty years isn’t short, for normal advanced professionals, it’s not much.
Coscola nodded gratefully: “I’ll gather the numbers right away.”
Zhao Guang shook his head, thinking plenty might choose this path. In this world, strength has the final say. Only with strength can one claim everything they desire.
However, this is limited to his own people, outsiders wouldn’t concern Zhao Guang.
Affected by the motivation, his soldiers strove to train vigorously.
They trained their physique, practiced Breathing Techniques, but didn’t cultivate Combat Energy, waiting to become Thunder Warriors.
Most normal soldiers, with no status or rank, indeed chose the fast-track route to becoming Thunder Warriors. Zhao Guang also had an assessment to identify those with good talent, ensuring they didn’t follow this route.
He needed some warriors who ventured through normal Combat Energy training.
Zhao Guang could acquire many high-grade Combat Energy Secret Techniques from the Silver Tower, and talent shouldn’t be wasted outright. Unfortunately, the Thunder Magic Rune is so enticing, already reduced to its limit.
Zhao Guang was unaware that the elves were even more stunned at this moment.
Their sensitivity to Elemental Power is incredibly precise. To suppress Thunder Power to such tame levels was practically miraculous. Moreover, the Thunder Warrior route made forming combat power unbelievably swift.
Humans using Thunder Warrior Technique carry substantial side effects, but it differs for elves.
Despite elves not having strong physical constitutions, their adaptation to elements is remarkably high. This level of stimulation barely affects elf longevity; besides, elves naturally live long.
“If we acquire this method, the elven clan’s issue of weak melee strength could be resolved.”
Alya watched those warriors intently: “But how can we obtain this method? This Secret Technique is exceptionally important to the elves; Alya recognized it at first glance.”
