Chapter 541 Feeling Great
Zhou Xu had prepared himself mentally for Joseph's attribute panel in advance. After all, Joseph had already demonstrated talents that clearly exceeded those of ordinary centaurs from the very beginning.
But after seeing it with his own eyes, he was still surprised.
Name: Joseph
Gender: Male Age: 11 Race: Centaur Status: None
Mantra: High-Speed Rush, War Charge
Talent: Come and go like the wind: He has outstanding speed and can come and go like the wind.
Bravery: ★★☆☆☆ Intelligence: ★★
Spirit: ★★☆ Endurance: ★★☆ Command: ★★
Behind the word "Brave", there is a string of stars representing potential that is so eye-catching! This is a warrior who has the opportunity to reach the five-star level in the future. Once he fully grows up, he will definitely be among the top ranks.
Under this premise, the endurance of three-star potential is normal for a Centaur. The key point is that Joseph also has the spiritual attribute of three-star potential.
This made Zhou Xu doubt his previous judgment.
[Could it be that the Centaurs' spiritual qualities are not that bad? Was it just a coincidence that all the two-stars I saw before were just a coincidence?]
Putting this speculation aside for the moment, Zhou Xu continued to look at Joseph's panel.
With only two stars in intelligence and command, Joseph can only be trained as a top-level general.
The talent of 'coming and going like the wind' has been clearly demonstrated in Joseph's daily actions. When he runs at full speed, his speed is indeed faster than any known Centaur.
Of course, he is far from fully grown up now, and his five-dimensional attributes are only two stars at this stage.
But this is normal. After all, Centaurs are considered adults at the age of ten, and Joseph is only eleven years old now, and he is far from grown up.
Considering his dignity when facing his people, Zhou Xu kept his face tense and tried not to laugh out loud.
After Wang Dong confirmed the panel, he asked...
"How was it? Did you gain anything?"
"No."
Wang Dong shook his head.
Then, remembering the spiritual attributes of Joseph and Diak, he asked another question.
"Are the spiritual attributes of these centaurs only two stars?"
"Yes."
Oh my god, I’m confused again.
But at this point, Zhou Xu was too lazy to worry about it anymore. He could just take his time to look at it later.
Although there was no extra gain among the remaining Centaurs, Zhou Xu, who had already captured two generals, Diak and Joseph, was in a good mood.
Don't live in the Centaur camp anymore, just let Diak and the others move to the grassland village, so it will be convenient for daily training.
There are still a few days before the energy channel is opened. Although I can't practice anything now, I should at least familiarize myself with some tactical coordination of their Great Zhou troops, so that when a fight breaks out, I will be free from being clueless about their internal tactics and some action signals.
In addition, since they have joined their Great Zhou, Diak and his men must have their weapons and equipment replaced.
As for weapons, it's easy. Bows and arrows and crystal iron spears are ready-made and are also the weapons commonly used by centaurs.
The armor needs to be adjusted a little bit.
After all, even if all the spare armor prepared for Drogo and the others were taken out, there would not be enough for Diak and the others to share.
Fortunately, the adjustment is not complicated. The body parts of the centaurs can basically be made directly from the scale armor of the upper body of normal human soldiers.
The focus is on the lower body which is like a war horse.
The adjuster in charge of this task directly brought over fifty sets of scale armor to be equipped for the war horses.
That’s right, in order to ensure the survival rate of war horses on the battlefield, they also equipped the horses with scale armor, which was easily solved after simple adjustments.
"How does it feel?"
Looking at Diak and Joseph who were equipped with full sets of scale armor, carrying bows and arrows, and holding crystal iron spears, Zhou Xu asked with a smile.
Although scale armor is relatively light, it is definitely much heavier than the leather armor originally equipped by the centaurs.
After putting on a full set of scale armor, their load-bearing capacity would certainly increase significantly.
But at this moment, Diak and the others didn't care at all. Joseph was even equipped with a full set of equipment and was running around excitedly.
"My lord, I feel great!"
Although Joseph's words were a bit rash, they expressed Diack's true thoughts.
They certainly knew that the weight of the scales would affect their speed and agility to a certain extent.
But on the other hand, with the protection of these scales, their chances of survival on the battlefield can be greatly improved. Compared with this improvement, the sacrificed speed and flexibility are not worth mentioning.
At the same time, from this moment on, Diak had clearly realized the benefits of surrendering to the Great Zhou.
They didn’t have this treatment when they were allies of the Great Zhou before.
But think about it, these metal armors and weapons are obviously very valuable. No matter how righteous their king is, he would not give these to his allies.
"During this period of time, you should wear the full set of equipment to get used to it, so that you won't feel uncomfortable when you arrive on the battlefield later."
After making simple arrangements for the Centaurs, Zhou Xu turned around and came to the horse farm.
"Ma Guotao, I pay my respects to the king!"
Looking at Ma Guotao who was coming towards him, Zhou Xu quickly got to the point after signaling him not to be polite.
"I heard that we have no more usable war horses in the rear?"
"Yes."
Ma Guotao spread his hands helplessly.
"Before, the fighting on the front line was intense, and the trained war horses were sent to the front line in batches. The ones left behind now are either wild horses that were recently captured and are still in the domestication stage, or inferior horses that did not meet the standards and were screened out. There are no more war horses available."
Listening to Ma Guotao's helpless words, the little follower beside Zhou Xu couldn't help but ask...
"My lord, although the inferior horse is not as strong as the war horse, it should be usable, right?"
Because Wang Pengfei was sent by him to be a military supervisor, and considering that he still needed someone by his side, Zhou Xu arranged another follower for himself.
Although the five-dimensional attributes of this little follower are all two stars, he has good talent like Wang Chuan. If he is kept around and taught to accumulate some experience, he can be sent back and appointed as a village chief, just like Zhang Xiaoshan and Li Shitou before.
In this way, with the purpose of teaching, Zhou Xu patiently answered questions.
"The value of cavalry lies in their collective strength. The collective charge of cavalry units is a great weapon on the battlefield. For this reason, we must ensure the quality of the war horses. These inferior horses can indeed be used as cavalry if they are paired with a soldier, but they will lower the overall standard of the cavalry unit."
"These inferior horses are not as fast or as stamina as the selected war horses. Once the large army launches a group charge, they will not be able to keep up and will become a burden, exposing their weaknesses. It would be better to have no horses at all."
