God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

The Empire's current basic military units, even with their rigid countermeasures and tactical methods, are essentially incapable of dealing with opponents of the same level.

As for higher-level elite enemies, a large portion of them can be exempted. Guan Yu deeply appreciated the energy and time that this saved for the commander.

On the battlefield at this time, Garth tried his best to command and coordinate, but he still could not change the situation on the battlefield, let alone the fact that he was being gradually eroded.

In contrast, Guan Yu had it very easy. With just a few simple commands, he could quickly and efficiently whittle down the Kushan soldiers.

“So what Zichuan said is right. Continuously strengthening the most basic level of the military system will eventually accumulate feedback that will be reflected in the entire army…” Guo Jia said this with emotion in his voice.

A typical Shieldbearer may seem to have only one Adaptive talent, but with intensive training and the support of their own equipment, the traits they exhibit are in no way inferior to the effects of certain Legion talents.

With the added benefits of these legion talents, ordinary legions can achieve results that are worthy of being called elite.

However, with training and the enhancement of their equipment, the Shield Guards were already comparable to these elite legions.

Under well-organized training, the ability to understand and calmly obey orders is already a terrifying achievement, especially in large-scale military operations where the effect is even more terrifying.

Yan Yan and Zhao Yun, who possess similar legion talents, were able to command large legions despite not having particularly high leadership talents, which shows just how terrifying this type of talent truly is.

This is just one of the characteristics possessed by the Shield Guard Legion itself.

"With so much money, food, and equipment consumed, wouldn't it be a waste if there weren't corresponding combat capabilities?" Upon hearing this, Fa Zheng habitually offered an explanation. After speaking, he almost instinctively shifted his gaze to the princess's guard on the battlefield and then fell silent.

The Shield Guards' performance on the battlefield at this moment, from any perspective, truly deserves the title of elite.

Keep in mind that these are just basic troops. The fact that they deserve the title of elite troops shows that the investment has definitely paid off.

"Although the opponent has expended a lot of energy, their combat strength is at least not a loss..." Guo Jia noticed Fa Zheng's gaze and looked over as well. After watching for a while, he finally offered an explanation.

"That is..." Fa Zheng said two words and then immediately stopped, without going into details.

"Isn't it normal for the guards to be so exhausted?" Guo Jia looked at Fa Zheng, puzzled.

The sheer scale of the Princess Guard's expenditures is common knowledge among the military's high command; it's to the point where it shouldn't seem strange at all.

This is especially true for Fazheng.

After all, Fa Zheng also spent a lot of time in Chang'an and had more contact with the princess's guards than he did. "Is it normal?" Fa Zheng thought for a moment, then nodded seriously. He looked at the changed equipment behind the princess and said calmly, "It does look normal."

The Princess Guard, backed by Liu Tong, now has ample resources and equipment.

With the national treasury currently extremely abundant, Liu Tong could support a vast number of princess guards simply by receiving his share of the spoils. Moreover, Liu Tong inherited the Han system and already had a corresponding fiefdom.

The fiefdom of one county and the tax revenue of sixteen counties were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"We won't be using the guards for now. The existing forces are sufficient. The guards' current strength is still quite effective against some oversized legions." Although he didn't understand what Fa Zheng meant, Guan Yu still explained it to him, looking at the still idle princess guards. He then continued to command the army to continue encircling and nibbling away at the enemy.

Upon hearing this, Fa Zheng glanced thoughtfully at Guan Yu, then looked at the shield guards at the front line and instantly understood Guan Yu's explanation.

The standard shield guards are well-equipped and have undergone long and targeted training, making them capable of dealing with many armies, including many elite units. However, they are not as formidable when facing certain special forces.

However, if the Shield Guard Legion cooperates with the Princess Guard, the situation will be completely different. Even if they cannot launch an effective counterattack, they can give full play to their extremely high tolerance for error.

"It can imbue other legions with the willpower for defense, and when necessary, it can even extract the willpower of other legions, giving them the ability to attack with their willpower..." Fa Zheng described the Princess Guard's abilities and how these abilities would affect other legions. Following this line of thought, he casually added, "Speaking of which, since the Princess Guard can extract the willpower of other legions, giving them the ability to attack with their willpower, thus allowing even basic legions to have attack capabilities comparable to elite legions, could we then imbue ourselves with the willpower of these legions?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia, who hadn't paid much attention before, was momentarily stunned. He glanced at Fa Zheng seriously, then looked thoughtfully at the princess's guards, and finally fixed his gaze on Guan Yu.

Feeling the gaze upon him, Guan Yu calmly shook his head.

Guo Jia hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief upon witnessing this scene.

Guan Yu then said in an extremely calm tone, "I don't know if the princess's guards can do that."

Guo Jia frowned upon hearing this, but neither asked any further questions nor offered any speculation.

Upon seeing this, Fa Zheng understood that what he had casually said was indeed a possibility, and a very special one at that.

"Perhaps it really is possible. The White Feather Soldiers represent the pinnacle of organizational ability. The organizational skills they demonstrate are in no way inferior to those of the White Feather Soldiers. This special organizational ability has never been seen in the other side before..." Fa Zheng murmured softly, thinking of the Princess Guard he knew.

If this possibility truly exists, then he probably understands why the Princess Guard, who to some extent represents the face of the nation, would be here; it's not just a simple matter of face.

On the battlefield of a single legion, and in terms of combat strength, the Princess Guard is indeed excellent, but certainly not top-tier. However, if the battlefield is expanded to large-scale legion battles, the nature of the situation is completely different.

After all, the vast majority of basic legions don't need to use willpower to defend against enemy willpower attacks, nor do they need to use willpower to directly attack the enemy's will. So, the extraction and use of this willpower... (End of Chapter)
