Logically, this formation is pure and simple. If they face off head-on, it will be clear which one is better.
But the result was that the regular army of the empire, which was known as the "elite", was actually blocked head-on by a group of goblin cavalrymen who were blessed with buffs and halos.
To be honest, even when Mawa rushed up, she didn't expect this scene.
The main reason why she dared to rush forward was because Livi was standing behind her. If anything happened, Livi could always help her out.
I didn't expect it to be like this in the end...
Could it be that……
At that moment, a very ridiculous thought came to Livi's mind.
Has the Empire's regular army stationed in the Abyss been living a life of arrogance for too long and neglected daily training, resulting in a drastic decline in combat effectiveness to this extent?
Although it sounds ridiculous, it seems to be the truth...
...Livie could not feel the fighting power of a regular army from those soldiers. Apart from the two leaders who seemed to be team leaders, who at least could show some ability, the others were simply unbearable to watch.
After the first round of charge, which ended in a close fight, Mava's confidence naturally increased greatly, and even the goblin women were encouraged.
then……
"…What's so great about this? This is the Empire's army? They are so useless. All of them should die!"
Chapter 168: Too many fish ponds were blown up, and I became a fish myself
Over there, the officer commanding the troops felt hopeless for a moment...
(…How many useless people did those bastards stuff in here?!)
That’s right, the facts are similar to what Livi guessed, but the reasons are slightly different.
The combat effectiveness of the troops stationed here is indeed far inferior to that of the regular army in the empire, but the decline in strength is not due to the lack of training for a long time, but simply because there are too many unqualified people stuffed into these troops.
Because this is the Kingdom of Abyss, a vassal state of the empire, when the empire's soldiers arrive here... they are undoubtedly the superior ones.
If these people were in the empire, their status would be just that of ordinary soldiers. Although as the official armed forces of the empire, no one dared to openly confront them.
But to put it bluntly, it's not because they are so awesome, it's just because they are afraid of the laws and power of the empire behind them.
But when you come here, it’s different.
Although the people here are also afraid of the powerful military force of the empire as the suzerain state, as envoys of the empire, the soldiers serving as supervisors here are undoubtedly the superiors.
Just like Bai was just a second-rate figure with a little fame in the empire but not presentable at all, but when he arrived in the Kingdom of Abyss, not to mention General Karl, even the King of Abyss had to be polite when seeing him.
Therefore, many people who are not doing well in the empire will choose to come here to satisfy their desire to be the best. As a result, a large number of good-for-nothings have naturally accumulated.
Although there are actually quite a few capable fighters in the army, for example, they are the ones who suppress the monsters in Tianyuan, but because they are mixed with unqualified people, the overall quality is uneven.
But on weekdays, relying on the empire as a deterrent, these people are used to showing off their power and no one dares to mess with them.
Even the people of Abyss Dawn were afraid of the strength of the Empire's regular army and hesitated to take action.
This is also the reason why the five vassal states are often strictly controlled by the empire.
Because as soon as they met, they were already inferior in momentum, because at that time, Emperor Saint Laurent was able to suppress the coalition forces of the five major countries with his own army. This powerful fighting power broke the backbone of the five major countries.
In addition, the empire has been operating for thousands of years, constantly draining blood from the five major countries, and relying on the invasion of demons to consume the national strength of the five major countries themselves.
As one side grows stronger while the other declines, the national strength of the five major countries is declining, and naturally they have no confidence to confront the empire head-on.
Not only the kings of the five major countries, even the so-called resistance forces active in the five major countries, many of them actually have little confidence to resist.
Just like what Livi had questioned Karl before...
...You keep saying that you are compromising for the sake of the empire's future. Is that really the case, or are you simply looking for an excuse for your cowardice because you are afraid of the empire's power?
However, after thousands of years of development, the empire mainly relied on the brave warriors and the five major countries themselves to serve as cannon fodder to deal with the demons, and the number of times its own elite troops were deployed was actually very small.
Apart from the troops directly commanded by the Three Pillar Ministers, how many of the other so-called 300,000 elite troops of the empire still have the bravery that Emperor Saint Laurent once had?
To be honest, this is indeed a very debatable question...
Livi herself, who once commanded the imperial army, understood this only too well.
The empire's elite troops are indeed very strong and of excellent quality, but they are by no means "invincible".
As for the garrisons in non-native colonial industries, Livi was quite pessimistic about their strength. They neither participated in front-line combat nor maintained regular training.
Living a life of luxury and bullying others all day long is like frying fish in a fish pond all day long. You will only end up frying yourself into a fish.
But even so... 300,000 elite troops and 200,000 conscripted soldiers are not just for show...
Well, let's try it out from here...
The junior officer in charge of leading the army looked in despair at his soldiers who were routed by a mere hundred or so goblin cavalrymen.
It is true that these goblins are not very good at fighting, but at least after a series of training by Livi, they have the fighting spirit.
Of course, it could also be because of the effect of the Seal of Submission. After all, if Livi gave the order, they would not hesitate to jump into the fire and knife pit.
At most, she would hug Livi and cry before jumping, but as for Mawa, she might first shout "Long live Boss Livi" and then jump with a smile on her face.
"So I'm not kidding..."
Looking at the garrison that was quickly defeated, Livi shook her head and spoke like this, which was obviously a response to her previous words to Stone.
In their eyes, the garrison of Abyss Tianyuan was probably "soldiers from heaven" and this place was "impregnable". They would definitely not be able to defeat the enemy with only what Livi had.
But Livi knew very well that these garrisons were most likely no match for her men.
Of course, there were too many corrupt officials among these garrisons, so it was not surprising that they were defeated. The trouble came after that.
After all, the empire still has regular troops that can fight. This defeat is just the first step. It is not difficult to take it down, but the difficult part is whether it can be defended.
Once the empire loses Abyss, it will certainly become serious. Once it sends out generals of the empire to lead the regular army, or even the three pillars ministers to dispatch their respective elite troops, the battle situation will be different.
Anyway, if Livi hadn't been there to keep the situation under control, all of the people present would probably have to confess.
But it doesn’t matter, the key is to “get moving” first…
Let everyone notice that the Empire's army is not actually "invincible"...
As long as there is such a spark, there will be a way to turn it into a prairie fire and make the entire continent "move".
After the number of casualties exceeded 20%, the opposing team's formation could no longer be maintained and the battle formation was dispersed. The young officer even killed several soldiers who turned around and fled, but was unable to control the situation.
"... Damn it, damn it, damn it, how could it become like this!"
It can be felt that he is indeed powerful. If the other soldiers on the scene are at least half as capable as him, it would be difficult to defeat them if Livi and Meimei did not take action, relying solely on Mava and the Goblin Cavalry, even with Aenekos included.
But there is no “if”…
Looking at the soldiers around him who were either dead or fleeing, the young officer swung the saber in his hand in despair.
"Don't think you've won. His Majesty won't let you go. Just wait. Soon, the General's cavalry will crush you..."
Before he finished speaking, the saber in his hand and most of his body were separated at the same time. Mawa waved the bone blade in her hand nonchalantly and answered calmly.
"Then let them come and see if the Empire is really that powerful!"
