Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 938 - 579: Offense and Defense

Great Jin Heavy Equipment!

First, it could significantly reduce the training expenses for heavily equipped troops, especially heavy cavalry.

Second, it could greatly enhance the combat abilities of the heavy equipment army, including defense, movement speed, and reducing physical strength consumption, with special troops obtaining double the effect.

Combined, these attributes truly represented a formidable alliance, establishing the dominance of the Jin Country civilization among first-order civilizations, a presence that many first-order lords were unwilling and afraid to confront.

Zhang Yan felt the same way. Although the military of the Song State civilization was also formidable, and the spirit stone veins in her territory complemented it well, there was not enough time to form a considerable force. Facing a lord of Jin Country civilization on the reputation rankings was an obvious disadvantage without the need for elaboration.

The Godly Arm Bowmen, one of the two elite forces of the Song Country civilization, could only be described in four words when facing the heavily armed heavy equipment troops of Jin Country civilization—'eager but powerless.'

Therefore, Zhang Yan momentarily lost her composure, but she quickly recovered and sent Xu Yang three pieces of troop information.

"..."

Upon examining the three sets of troop information sent by Zhang Yan, Xu Yang also fell silent.

There's no need to say much about the guard army, which is Jin Country civilization's standard main infantry for battle, armored heavily with iron helmets and iron armors, and equipped with iron swords and shields, bolstered with skills like Strong Body, Strong Strike, Infantry Combat, and Shield Defense. They are absolutely qualified as a heavy unit, skilled at sieging and holding the line.

The escort army, an upgraded version of the guard army, is a special troop of Jin Country civilization. Not only does it have a high physical attribute of twenty-two points, but its armament is also comprehensively upgraded—all specialised for the escort army, including steel sabers and iron shields, coupled with strong bows and heavy arrows.

Together with level 10 first-order skills like Strong Body, Strong Strike, Mounted Archery, and the "Escort" troop skill, whether it's attacking or defending, long-range or mobility, the escort army is among the cream of the crop of first-order civilization units, capable of competing with second-order troops.

As for the final Jin Country Iron Cavalry...

It can only be described in two words—terrifying!

With an attribute of twenty-five points in physical strength, fully upgraded Armored Battle Armor and skills like Strong Body and Strong Strike breaking through to the second order, along with mastery of single-handed and long pole weapons, the elite level of this cavalry surpasses even the escort army, making it the most fearsome heavy cavalry of Jin Country civilization.

And as a special troop type, it, along with the escort army, benefits doubly from the "Heavy Equipment" civilization skill. Not to mention a terrifying forty-percent increase in defense; movement speed and physical strength consumption are significantly altered. Calling them heavy cavalry doesn't truly do them justice; they may as well be seen as iron armored tanks.

This was the Jin Country civilization, within the first-order, perhaps not the strongest but surely among the top. Now, in the hands of a lord who had developed and accumulated depth on the leaderboard, it was even more terrifying, as the main factor restricting such civilization development is funds. The longer the accumulation, the fuller the funds, and the stronger the power becomes.

And now...

Upon a cursory glance, Zhang Yan reached a conclusion, "There must be at least four to five hundred troops, over two hundred are infantry guard troops, and the rest are cavalry, half light-equipped bow-mounted scouts, and half heavy-equipped escort and iron cavalry."
