Chapter 429: Forming the Marine Corps (2-in-1)

As a modern person, Ning Yuan is very aware of the importance of the navy and navy.

Although these two arms of the army are not needed in the north of China for the time being, if Ningyuan wants to go out in the future, it is impossible to succeed without a strong navy.

For the formation of the navy and navy, Ning Yuan can be regarded as taking precautions, but he is a landlubber himself, and his knowledge reserve in this area is basically zero, so until now, the navy of the Condor Empire is still at the stage of practicing swimming and sailing.

If you want to sail on the endless sea, you must first have the ability to distinguish the direction, otherwise you will probably never return.

The ancients used the navigation compass and star map to determine the direction at sea.

The Nautical Compass, the Condor Empire does not have it yet, but Ning Yuan wants to bring the technology of making a compass in reality into the game.

But he couldn't learn no matter how he learned, and every time he saw those drawings and theories, he would get dizzy, and finally he would have to give up.

Star chart alignment is to determine the direction by observing the changes in the position of some constellations in the starry sky.

Ning Yuan is a typical zodiac idiot, whenever he looks up at the starry sky at night, except for the moon, the other stars look almost the same in his eyes, until now, he often admits mistakes even which seven stars are the Big Dipper, so he can't help it.

In terms of identifying constellations, although there were many people in the Condor Empire who were stronger than Ning Yuan, when they went to the vast sea, they were still quickly confused.

If they hadn't dared to go far, I am afraid that they would have been completely lost in the endless sea.

The navy of the Condor Empire is also known as the Blind Army because of the loss of ships at two ends in three days, and often makes all kinds of jokes.

In order to make them not blind, Ning Yuan tried all kinds of methods, but because he himself was even more blind, he was always powerless.

In the end, a good navy can only conduct all kinds of combat exercises near the coastal waters, and no one dares to go far, for fear of getting lost again.

Originally, Ning Yuan had almost forgotten about this blind army and was ready to let them develop freely, but the arrival of Xie Yu and the other mermaid clan made him see the hope of the rise of the navy again.

When he learned that the mermaids could discern their direction in the sea through magnetic fields and ocean currents, he immediately excitedly pulled Xie Yu straight to the naval base near the shipyard.

The navy of the Condor Empire is currently armed with two types of ships. One is a small magic warship, and the other is a small magic energy transport.

Although there are various other types of vessels, only these two are seaworthy.

The ships of these magic energy series have three power sources, one is sail power, one is magic power, and one is pure manpower.

After taking Xie Yu aboard a small magic energy warship, Ning Yuan immediately had the ship filled with food and fresh water, and then began to head towards the deep sea.

Eating and drinking has become a good habit of the Condor Navy.

Since they often get lost, they will be very uneasy if they do not fill it with food and fresh water.

Standing on the deck, looking at the endless sea, Ning Yuan was both nervous and excited.

While looking at the vanishing coastline, he asked Xie Yu if he could still find the direction to return.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Ning Yuan finally mustered up the courage to let the magic crystal drive the magic energy battleship at full speed.

In order to verify the sense of direction of the mermaid clan, Ning Yuan deliberately made several turns in the sea, until he himself could no longer distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and then began to let Xie Yu guide the battleship back.

When the coastline reappeared in their field of vision, Ning Yuan and the naval soldiers on the ship all jumped up with excitement.

Finally not lost again, the sea finally opened its arms to the navy of the Condor Empire.

After confirming the importance of the mermaid clan, Ning Yuan immediately had a settlement built for them near the Longgang Naval Base, and at the same time appointed Xie Yu as the deputy commander-in-chief of the fleet of the Condor Empire Navy, and he himself served as the commander-in-chief.

As for Xie Yu being able to serve as deputy commander-in-chief as soon as he joined the navy, there is no one in the whole army who is not convinced, there is no way, who calls them all blind.

Next, Ning Yuan and Xie Yu lived together in the naval base, and they conducted various training with the soldiers every day.

When they saw Xie Yu's unique racial talent, everyone was envious and jealous.

Looking at Xie Yu's legs that can change back and forth, and then looking at his own legs, many people's eyes are red.

The men of the merfolk are all over 1.9 meters tall when they reach adulthood, and their muscular bodies are ideal for hand-to-hand combat.

In order to verify Xie Yu's personal ability, Ning Yuan prepared various weapons for him, including a sword for melee combat and a bow and crossbow for long-range.

As a result, when Xie Yu used the sword, the eight arms were used very flexibly, and there was no such entangled picture as Ning Yuan imagined at all.

However, when Xie Yu used the crossbow, Ning Yuan smiled inauthenticly, and he finally felt mentally balanced.

Looking at Xie Yu's hurried appearance, several arms entangled, Ning Yuan laughed so much that tears flowed out.

It seems that the god Nuwa is still very fair, the mermaid clan is not perfect, and the lack of long-range attack ability will be their biggest weakness.

In order to further verify this view, Ning Yuan asked Xie Yu to throw away the extra bow and crossbow, and only hold one bow for shooting, and not use the other arms for the time being.

As a result, Ning Yuan soon couldn't laugh, because Xie Yu, just like a normal human, successfully shot an arrow.

And the most infuriating thing is that when Xie Yu shot the arrow, an arm next to him quickly handed over an arrow, and he didn't need the hand that pulled the string to pick up a new arrow, which greatly saved the time of loading the arrow.

Well, Ning Yuan retracted his previous opinion, this mermaid clan is indeed Nuwa's own son.

After repeated verification, the abilities of the mermaid clan were developed by Ning Yuan one by one.

When switching to a melee form, they can use multiple melee weapons at the same time, basically one arm and one weapon, and a mess with strong offensive power.

Ning Yuan once personally went down to fight with Xie Yu without believing in evil, and then he sadly found that if it weren't for his strength advantage being too obvious, using an ordinary sword, he would not be Xie Yu's opponent at all.

Facing the repeated attacks of eight weapons, Ning Yuan was forced to be in a hurry for a while, if it wasn't for him using absolute strength to repel Xie Yu, I'm afraid this person would be a big loser.

When the merfolk switch to their ranged form, they can only use a bow or a crossbow, and only one pair of main arms can be used.

However, their other arms can quickly hand over arrows to the main hand, which can save a lot of time, allowing them to shoot more arrows in the same amount of time than others, which is also a very important advantage.

Although he was almost embarrassed, Ning Yuan was still very satisfied with the ability of the mermaid clan.

Considering that they could be near or far, and that they could enter the water and land, Ning Yuan decided to train them in the direction of the Marine Corps.

Because the men of the mermaid clan will only grow a third pair of arms when the force value reaches the seven-star level, and the eight-armed mermaid clan like Xie Yu is simply rare, and most of them are four-armed, so in the choice of weapons, Ning Yuan must be based on ordinary mermaid men.

Considering that they are born with scale armor, there is no need for armor, but their heads are not protected, so they can't hold weapons in all their arms.

In order to prevent them from being shot by the enemy's cold arrows, it is necessary to prepare them with at least a small shield.

In addition to the arm holding the shield, the other three arms were a long sword, a scimitar, and a mace.

This way, whether the enemy is light or hoplite, they will be able to inflict lethal damage on the enemy.

One shield, three weapons, this is the standard equipment set by Ning Yuan for the mermaid warriors, as for the remaining six-armed mermaids and eight-armed mermaids, the remaining arms are as they like, take whatever they like.

In addition to this, Ning Yuan also equipped each mermaid warrior with a bow.

Although their long-range attack ability is not as good as that of the elves, since they have the ability to quickly reload arrows, let them play freely, and the blind cat can occasionally encounter dead rats, anyway, the Condor Emperor's country is great, and it is not bad for that arrow.

The merfolk men are the perfect warrior templates, and they are very good to arrange, but the merfolk women are a little embarrassed by Ning Yuan.

Although merfolk women are excellent supports, their bodies are too fragile and can be easily killed by enemies.

Ning Yuan originally didn't want them to continue to go to the battlefield, but their talent for the Song of the Siren was too powerful, and if they just let them stay at home and have children, it would be a bit too tyrannical.

Ning Yuan wanted to equip them with light Mithril armor at first, but when they put on the Mithril armor, they lost the ability of a waterwalker and sank directly to the bottom of the sea.

Although they could continue to breathe at the bottom of the sea, they could not float at all.

They were so in the water that they couldn't even speak, let alone sing the Siren's song.

In desperation, Ning Yuan could only continue to change various armor for them.

Chain mail is not good, leather armor is not good, cloth armor is still not good,......。

After taking out all the armor of the Condor Empire and trying them one by one, Ning Yuan finally had to choose to give up.

It seems that female mermaids are born with crispy auxiliaries, and there is no choice but to send male mermaid warriors to protect them closely.

......

Although there are only a few hundred mermaid clansmen under Ning Yuan's hands, and there are still old and young among them, this does not prevent him from forming a mermaid army.

For these powerful warriors with a minimum force value of five stars, Ning Yuan formulated an elite route for them.

The multi-armed armament makes them more powerful, but it also dooms them to be unable to form large battle formations like other races, and the best way for them to fight is melee and skirmishes.

This mode of operation not only requires a very high level of individual ability of soldiers, but also requires a very high level of their ability to cooperate with each other.

Ning Yuan's requirement for them was that they were a small team of ten people, and no matter what situation they encountered, they must hug each other tightly.

It's easy to say, but it's very difficult to achieve.

Ning Yuan divided the hundred mermaid warriors into ten squads, and then found a team of heavily armored Condor Guards to serve as sparring partners for them.

Faced with the onslaught of the Condor Guards, the merfolk warriors were quickly overwhelmed.

Although they had always kept in mind Ning Yuan's instructions, they were always powerless, and they were directly forcibly separated by the Condor Guard.

Looking at these brainless mermaid warriors, Ning Yuan kept shaking his head.

Not to mention them, even those powerful orc warriors could hardly break through the battle formation of the Condor Guard, how could they break through?

Ning Yuan transferred the Condor Guard to them as a sparring partner, not to let them defeat the Condor Guard, but to exercise their ability to cooperate with each other.

But they seemed to have misunderstood Ning Yuan's meaning, and they were bent on defeating the Condor Guard, the most elite heavy infantry of the Condor Empire, head-on.

Maybe they're used to this kind of head-to-head battle.

Looking at the mermaid warriors who were divided and defeated by the Condor Guard again and again, Ning Yuan did not choose to intervene, he planned to let them slowly comprehend themselves from the battle.

While watching the continuous progress of the mermaid warriors, Ning Yuan is also constantly looking for their shortcomings, as the so-called knowing that the other side can not be defeated in a hundred battles, he not only has to conquer other mermaid tribes, but also prevent them from being targeted by the enemy.

Through continuous observation, Ning Yuan finally found one of their weaknesses, and he found that the inertia of mermaid warriors when turning around was much greater than that of normal humans, which meant that they were more ferocious than they were flexible.

Their upper body has so many more arms than normal people, and with the weapons they hold on each arm, the weight of their upper body is naturally much greater than that of ordinary people, so they are much worse in terms of flexibility.

Although they do not wear heavy armor, they are a medium-to-large size race, so they are neither light nor heavy armor, and should be a special type in between.

Watching them fail again and again, and then re-launch the attack again and again, Ning Yuan knew what kind of position to give them.

In naval battles, they are the real masters, and Ning Yuan is not capable of giving them any better advice.

However, in a landing battle, they absolutely cannot attack the enemy's military formation head-on, and they should give full play to their superiority in the sea, land from different directions, and then take advantage of the outstanding individual combat ability to blossom at more points and fight a guerrilla war with the enemy.

After having a clear positioning of the mermaid clan, Ning Yuan immediately called Xie Yu aside, and then told him his thoughts, he hoped that Xie Yu could train the mermaid warriors into an elite sea and land special combat team according to this idea.

The Condor Empire has a lot of legions that can be used for frontal battles, so there is no need for the merfolk to develop in this direction anymore.

What Ning Yuan really needs now is an elite special combat unit that can penetrate deep behind enemy lines in the sea and constantly put pressure on the enemy.
