Chapter 1258: The First Appearance of the Mecha Shield Guard
Mecha shield guard, the Han Dynasty soldier skills and military god Chen Xi, the pinnacle production with painstaking efforts.
To some extent, this thing is also aimed directly at the ultimate monster army with three talents.
The most important thing is that this thing can be mass-produced.
The original talent was Adaptation + Incineration, which maximized the growth of physical fitness, and then the God of War took action to directly wash away the double talents.
Instead, they gained Iron Body and Strength Integration. The degree of completion of these two talents was actually far lower than that of the Roman Eagle Legion.
To put it simply, the Iron Man of the 30th Parthian Legion occupies three talent positions, which is itself a super-complex talent collection, and the final form it manifests is the Iron Legion.
At this moment, the mecha shield guard has combined the capabilities of these two things, which have only one-third of the normal legion's capabilities, on itself.
But when combined with the adaptively trained physique of the Royal Guards, the two talents that were originally just decorations became outrageous.
It's like the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, whose combat effectiveness is very weak at the same level when they have single or double talents, but when they become the Royal Guards, they have no shortcomings at all.
Of course, these are just prerequisites. Whether it is the iron body, force integration, or the basic qualities of the Guards, these are the restraining conditions for the Mecha Shield Guards.
The real focus of Mecha Shield is on the mecha itself .
This set of mecha, which can also be called power armor, is all driven by the essence of heaven and earth and is an ultimate armor with a weight of more than one ton.
Without the necessary prerequisites, wanting to fight under the clouds is basically a dream.
But in other words, as an advanced type of shield guard, the combat effectiveness of this legion has almost reached the sky.
The biggest problem with shield guards is not anything else, but that they don't have much room for promotion and are only suitable to be basic soldiers.
There is no way to do this. The shield guard's adaptive talent is indeed very good, but this is not how Chen Xi uses it. Chen Xi's shield guard development route is actually to strengthen the armor, not the earliest enhanced man.
Although the latter die more, their growth rate is much higher than that of the former.
Both sides fight thirty imperial wars a year. As long as the latter survives, their quality and willpower will be much stronger than the former, and much stronger.
At that time, there will be no problem in directly transferring to other legions on the spot, and even the three-talent legion can be directly supplemented.
The shield guards have a much lower mortality rate than other legions because they are so well protected by armor, and their quality and willpower cannot be improved at all. For the current shield guards, the mortality rate on the battlefield is even lower than that of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's headquarters training.
It would be strange if this growth efficiency could be higher than that of other legions.
Why can the battlefield allow the legion to grow rapidly and break free from shackles? On the one hand, it is because of killing, and on the other hand, it is because of the desire to survive.
Only by feeling threatened can one force himself to make progress. However, the shield guard is wearing a suit of armor, so let alone fighting against double-talented soldiers, even against ordinary guards, it is very likely that he will not feel any pressure at all.
It is impossible to train strong soldiers using shield guards. The low casualty rate alone means that it is difficult for shield guards to make a breakthrough. A breakthrough cannot be achieved by relying too much on external objects.
But the Mecha Shield Guard is different. Strictly speaking, the Mecha Shield Guard is a pseudo-third talent.
Although the problem is the same as that of the Shield Guard, there is no complete solution to the problem of ascending, but the pseudo three talents are already one of the top legions in the world.
Even the Holy Fallen Knight, who is known for his unparalleled attack power, cannot kill two mecha shield guards with one sword.
The physical fitness and talent strength of the mecha shield guard, even with the help of external objects such as mecha, cannot become a pseudo third talent.
But the problem lies with the talent of adaptability. This group of mecha shield guards do not have much experience in fighting on the battlefield, but they have rich experience in being beaten. Relying on the talent of adaptability, they can adapt to the attack effects of almost any talent.
Especially the strength shock talents. When the physical defense iron turtle of the shield guard makes up for the last flaw, then in terms of physical defense, the mecha shield guard will no longer have any rivals.
The shock lancers sent by Maximinus can indeed restrain the shield guards to a certain extent, but they cannot restrain the mecha shield guards.
When the six or seven meter long spears hit the mecha shield guards heavily, these soldiers only felt a shock, and then grabbed the spears and pulled them with an expressionless face.
Those spearmen who didn't react in time and didn't have time to let go of their spears instantly closed the distance with the mecha shield guards.
"Bang!"
Without any fancy moves, the mecha shield guard soldiers simply raised their hands and punched hard.
A punch hit the spearman who was pulled into close range, and he suddenly exploded like a watermelon thrown to the ground.
"Conventional attacks are absolutely useless. We can only use things like will penetration, cloud piercing, shock convergence, and heavy weapons crushing." Maximinus looked at the mecha shield guard that was directly counter-attacking, his brows completely furrowed.
"Shoot an arrow and see the effect!" After noticing the performance of the mecha shield guard, Atler did not hesitate to let Peacock give up suppressing the Changshui Camp and go all out to deal with the mecha shield guard.
When the peacock arrow fell, the mecha shield guards reacted quickly, shrinking their bodies as much as possible while using the small shields on both arms to block their vital points.
"clang!"
The moment the arrow flew, Maximinus' heart sank.
Not only Maximinus felt disappointed, but also Atel and Barak in the back felt disappointed.
The moment the result appeared, Atler's pupils had shrunk to the extreme, and a feeling of powerlessness surged throughout his body.
When the shield guards first appeared, he thought of a problem. The basic Shield Guards could indeed be dealt with by the elite legion. After all, no matter how tough the Shield Guards were, they were still a basic troop and had inherent flaws.
For example, a spiral lancer with three talents can easily tear a hole in the shield guard's defense line.
Even with the existence of infantry battalion shield guards, they cannot limit the breakthrough of those elite legions, which also gives the Kushans many ways to deal with basic shield guards.
But when the mecha shield guard came out, Kushan's response methods shrank sharply to two types: power shock and will attack.
All other methods have been banned.
Looking at the mecha shield guard who had withstood Peacock's full-strength attack but was not hurt at all, Atler's heart sank.
Needless to say, the will-type legions are difficult to train, slow to form, and do not have the possibility of mass production.
The power shock legion, the Han Dynasty has just demonstrated it with Maximinus's shock spearmen. The arrow attack that can kill tens of thousands of people in an instant has become the best way to curb the power shock army.
If it were any other legion, they might be able to respond by adding armor, but the Changshui Battalion's attack was mainly based on explosive shocks.
Usually under the attack of Changshui, the armor can still maintain its integrity, but the soldiers' bodies are basically completely shattered.
The aftermath of the explosion was almost a disaster for soldiers who had no defensive talents or were not wearing heavy armor.
"What should I do?" Atel's mind was full of question marks.
The emergence of mecha shield guards completely changed the ecological structure of the battlefield, just like a tank appeared among a group of infantry, which was almost an epoch-making dimensionality reduction strike.
Although Atel knew that those pseudo-three talents blessed by the Imperial Scepter could still compete with these legions, it was only to this extent.
Just like ordinary double-talent legions find it difficult to face shield guards, these pseudo-three-talent legions strengthened by the imperial will also find it difficult to face shield guards.
If they were on the plains, they could still rely on wandering to limit these mecha shield guards, but the mountain pass is both their success and their failure.
This narrow gate was their protective shield before, but now it has become their life-threatening ghost.
However, their nightmare has just begun. As Chen Xi's masterpiece that is the culmination of all his kryptonian gold, how could it be an iron lump that can only fight in close combat?
"Throw and shoot!"
Thousands of javelins were thrown fiercely at the scattered Kushan battle line. The already collapsed battle line became more turbulent. The soldiers who lacked organization faced such intensive attacks and suffered hundreds of casualties.
Maximinus turned around and left. What was the point of fighting? Before they had the ability to deal with these tin can monsters, they could only passively take the beating. With such a city wall in front of them, they had no way to deal with it.
Looking at the Roman barbarians retreating like the tide, Cao Cao did not order a pursuit. This was just a tentative attack launched by the Kushans, and they had not yet reached the time for a general attack.
"Hahahaha, with this legion's help, there's no need to worry about the Kushans!" Cao Cao was so happy that he went crazy. He loved the mecha shield guard so much. This thing was simply a perfect type of soldier.
Not only does it have maximum survivability, it also has the power to push down the front line. This humanoid war machine is simply awesome.
"That's all!" Hua Xiong said indifferently, causing the surrounding mecha shield guards to glare at him angrily.
Hua Xiong simply stretched out his hand, and a gravity field came down, leaving less than 10% of the mecha shield guards able to stand.
"See, I told you, it's just like that!" Hua Xiong curled his lips in disdain and clapped his hands to release the gravity suppression. Who were these flowers blooming in a greenhouse showing their teeth to?
"The Xiliang Cavalry without horses!" This is the conclusion Tang Zhou came to after studying for a long time.
Gao Shun nodded. The first legion that comes to mind is probably the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
After all, whether it is the Divine Iron Cavalry or the Flying Bear, they are actually both defensive troops.
Mecha shield guards, no matter how powerful and capable they are, are still a defensive unit.
"What nonsense are you talking about, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that doesn't ride horses!" Li Que retorted dissatisfiedly.
They are the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, proper cavalry, okay? Don't try to trick us with your heavy infantry.
When Cao Cao saw the mecha shield guard being easily killed by Hua Xiong, his originally excited blood cooled down a bit.
His fantasy of an invincible army was ultimately just a dream, as there was indeed no such thing as a perfect army.
Even with the powerful Mecha Shield Guard, there are still many problems.
"In other words, the Mecha Shield Guard is actually restrained by the Will-type Legion?" Cao Cao asked with a frown.
Looking at the mecha shield guards struggling to stand up one by one after the gravity suppression was released, Cao Cao felt a chill in his heart.
After all this trouble, in the end, we still can’t avoid the issue of will.
To be honest, the Will-type Legion is really crazy. The mecha shield guards are so perfect, but they are restrained by the Will-type Legion. Cao Cao finds it outrageous.
"Not entirely. There is actually a certain isolation formation drawn on their mecha, which can resist some will-related effects."
Yue Fei said this, glanced at Hua Xiong, and sighed helplessly.
After all, it is just a depiction of a military formation, so the effect cannot be compared with a real military formation.
There is indeed no invincible military force in the world. The biggest problem of Mecha Shield Guard is the weight. The flying bear, which controls gravity, is indeed the natural enemy of Mecha Shield Guard, in a sense.
However, if they are transformed into other military soul legions, the effect of dealing with mecha shield guards is similar. Even if they are not as terrifying as Feixiong, they can easily kill these mecha shield guards.
But then again, this group of mecha shield guards were specifically designed to restrain the Kushan Empire's Scepter.
No matter how the Imperial Scepter increases the power of the Guards, it will ultimately only enhance the strength of their talents and then improve their basic qualities. The pseudo three talents created in this way will have no way to deal with the Mecha Shield Guards.
As for the Kushan's Miracle Legion and Will Legion, the Mecha Shield Guards really have no good way to deal with them. However, now that they have so many military souls squatting here, they can naturally block these legions for the Mecha Shield Guards.
And the most important thing is Le Jin. As an auxiliary legion, they can build a barrier of will for the Mecha Shield Guards, and directly help the Mecha Shield Guards fill the last shortcoming from the root.
Although Hua Xiong looked down on them, he also knew that in the next war to break through the mountain pass, these mecha shield guards would probably be the real protagonists. By then, even the Divine Iron Cavalry and Flying Bear would only be able to serve as the opponent's foil.
Although Feixiong can restrain Mecha Shield Guard, Feixiong cannot restrain Kushan's pseudo three talents, while Mecha Shield Guard is a perfect restraint.
Sometimes, strength is not everything. This is why the Han Dynasty, although using shield guards as the basic troop type, has not used them as the only troop type.
Sometimes, diverse restraint is more important than strong strength.
The so-called setting is more important than the sky, and the special attack is like a god, that's it.
"These are the last three days, so I'll let you live three more days!" Cao Cao looked in the direction of Beigui Pass with solemnity in his eyes. After so many years, he was finally going to completely eradicate this great threat.
Ever since the Kushans roared in the court, the two sides have been fighting back and forth. The Kushans even caused them heavy losses several times. This time, they were finally able to catch all these Kushan guys in one fell swoop.
Not only Cao Cao, but Xun Yu and others also had the same expectation.
