Chapter 609 The Perfect Mount
"Move! Move!! Ahh--"
"Fuck it! I surrender!!!"
"AAH"
"Kaaaaaaaa Robin Burton, don't think you've won! I'll kill these ants and then kill your entire army!!"
Within the planet's spirit domain--
"Heh~ I feel frustrated that I can't bring material items here..." Robin shook his head
"Material items? Why?" Evergreen raised her eyebrows
Robin laughed loudly and pointed at the scene in front of him, "Don't you see that? Wouldn't it be nice if I could get some popcorn?"
The scene in front of Robin has now changed completely. The fierce battle that claimed dozens of lives every minute has ended, and what appeared in its place was a one-sided massacre!
The Imperial army of three million soldiers split into several small divisions and broke the defensive formation, currently wreaking havoc on ten times their numbers and there was almost no reaction!
"...Popcorn? You still got time to joke after what you did?" Evergreen moved forward and stepped on Robin's foot in annoyance, "I can't believe I agreed and allowed you to make this ridiculous show! Broadcasting your face in the clouds? Creating rain and earthquakes? And even creating huge lightning bolts that split the ground?! These ridiculous things did not harm anyone, but they cost you 3% of your refinement. Is there someone who is extravagant like you? I thought you were reasonable, but it seems that pride has messed up your mind! I still can't believe it, Tree Fathers spent about 80 thousand years in order to complete those 3%!!"
"Hahaha, you don't understand..." Robin's silver avatar patted Evergreen on the shoulder and ran his hand over the planet's spirit again, so the image moved closer to show the features of the local army, "Look at their eyes."
"Hmm? What do you mean by--" Evergreen furrowed her eyebrows and stared at the figure for a few seconds, quickly discovering what Robin was talking about.
In order to reduce the consumption of the refinement percentage to the minimum, Evergreen agreed to increase the force of Gravity only tenfold. This means that if a soldier weighs 100 kilograms, he will feel that his weight has become a ton!
This sudden and large increase could break the bones of any mortal human or even kill him directly, but these are not mortals, they are cultivators...
Even the weakest person among them who was still at the eighth level of the Energy Foundation Realm could stand still and even wave his weapon slightly under these circumstances, and if he took off his armor and dropped his weapon, he might be able to run for his life!
But that did not happen, almost everyone below level 15 was now kneeling on the ground like they were waiting to be killed with eyes devoid of hope, even high-level knights and saints who would feel some heaviness in their movement but could continue the fight were now retreating devastatingly with fear visible in their eyes... They have completely lost their fighting spirit.
"Do you see now? Increasing gravity alone would not have been sufficient unless you increased it to the same force of gravity on the planet Nihari, which means about seventy times. But ten times its usual strength would only have made the battle balanced, or in the best cases it would have given victory to the Empire's army after two or three days, but at the end of the two days the Union army would have been able to retreat safely. In the end, the increase in gravity occurred only in the area where the battle took place. If we allow the battle to continue longer, they will discover this and withdraw in an orderly manner..." Robin explained, pointing towards the figure with a smile, "The first moral blow was to make them think that I am a devil of some kind, an invincible being that could destroy them at any time I wanted, then the increase in gravity came and it was the final blow and sealed this feeling inside their hearts, The additional 3% was an investment that could resolve the wars on planet Greenland once and for all."
"Hmph, okay Mr. Investor, but it doesn't seem like your genius idea of victory without more sacrifices will work." Evergreen felt annoyed by Robin's explanation, so she zoomed in again and pointed to a specific scene taking place at this moment.
"Hmm?" Robin furrowed his eyebrows slightly, the scene in front of him now was a fight between an imperial soldier against a lion-like beast!
It was clear that the beast was trying to protect a middle-aged man from the Union Army who had fallen to the ground behind him, but he was no match for his opponent as the imperial soldier quickly sent a kick that broke the lion's lower jaw, but at this moment a huge, long-legged crocodile came from behind the soldier and bit the soldier in half!
The bite was so strong that it created holes in the golden armor and pierced the stomach of the imperial soldier, who began screaming for help. Fortunately for him, there were two other soldiers close to the incident and they were able to extract him from the jaw of the huge crocodile alive, but the injuries he sustained would leave him paralyzed for a few years at the very least
Robin ran his finger over the figure to move the scene, such small battles against beasts were happening everywhere on the battlefield right now!
Robin furrowed his eyebrows slightly, "Interesting..." The beasts' power came entirely from their physical strength, so increasing gravity tenfold restricted their movements a bit and made them feel heavier, but it didn't completely shackle them, just how much they didn't understand about things like morale, they only know how to fight to the death for their masters!
Besides the beasts that stood their places to protect their masters, there were other beasts that raised their owners in their mouths and tried to flee the battle, but they were too slow to go anywhere far. And of course, there were many other beasts that were not carefully trained, they abandoned their owners and decided to flee when they saw the scene of blood in front of them
"The presence of beasts on the Union side was the biggest reason that enabled them to besiege my army for three days like this, and their presence now will prolong the battle a little, but it will not change the outcome. They will all be killed or arrested today." Robin pulled his finger from the screen and spoke, but he seemed annoyed. The number of monsters on the battlefield now numbered in the millions!
"True, but your soldiers will suffer heavy losses because of them." Evergreen laughed maliciously, "Having beasts in the army is a big help. You obviously know this since you have an entire legion of those bizarre winged beasts, but why don't you have ground mounts?"
Robin shook his head, "There is a big difference. I chose the Draco beasts because they are very fast, which makes them excellent for an air force. The Draco do not need their own attacks or strong defenses, they just need to fly constantly. The ground mounts, however, are facing much more pressure, so not only have to be fast, but they also must be physically strong, and they must have great endurance and strong defense, otherwise, they will be killed quickly."
Then he began to run his finger over the model to change the scene, "Look in front of you. It took the locals dozens or even hundreds of years to gather and train these beasts, but now they are being killed like chickens. Look, for example, those crocodiles are huge and strong but slow, which makes them an easy target, and those lions have a weak defense, any sharp sword can pierce them. This rhinoceros has all the required features, but it is an uncomfortable mount and its rider will not be able to use all his strength... Letting the soldiers run free would be better than restraining them like this."
"Hmm, there is some truth in what you say, but your problem is that you haven't found a perfect mount that satisfies your needs yet, not that it doesn't exist..." Evergreen nodded a few times, then looked at Robin with a playful smile, "What would you do if I provided you with that perfect mount?"
