Chapter 526: Crushing on Equipment
As the leader of the Eagle Mercenary Group, Huang Chao's heart was broken.
With the secret support of the Demon Gate, over the years, his mercenary group has flourished in Condor City, from more than 30 people in the early years to more than 300 people today.
Not only has the number of people expanded, but there are also more masters in the corps, and they are also equipped with more sophisticated weapons and protective gear.
After Huang Chao received the order from the Demon Gate, he immediately led all the men and horses to dispatch.
According to the information of the Demon Gate, there are only more than 200 Ye family warriors on the big ship, and in addition to the two major offerings of the Ye family, there is also Ye Xiangdong, a retainer of the Ye family.
And the Eagle Mercenary Regiment not only has an advantage in numbers, but also has a lot of masters, the cultivation of the eight captains has reached the peak of the Transformation Spirit Realm, and the cultivation of the three deputy leaders has reached the half-step supreme.
So for this battle, Huang Chao didn't think much about it at all, thinking that it was just a hand-to-hand capture.
For Ye Changsheng, Huang Chao also heard a little.
Ye Changsheng is a swordsmith who has only risen in recent years, and he is the youngest swordsmith in the Federation, such a dazzling genius boy, it is difficult for Huang Chao to think about it.
But he also knew that Ye Changsheng was only from a commoner, and his family was located in a remote town where he couldn't even remember his name.
Just ask such a rural family, how deep can the background be, and how strong can the family's samurai be?
For a long time, the Divine Eagle Principality has never taken the weakened Yunlong Principality in its eyes, and under inertial thinking, Huang Chao doesn't take the Ye family seriously.
It was with this mentality that Huang Chao led three hundred of his men and confidently launched an attack on the big ship.
However, he never imagined that the battle would be so fierce from the beginning.
The Ye family warriors on the big ship, from the lookout to the cabin, to the deck, formed a tight defense, and before the mercenaries boarded the big ship, they were covered with bows and crossbow arrows, not only killed and injured more than a dozen people, but also the momentum of the mercenaries was also contained.
And when the mercenaries boarded the big boat and engaged the Ye family warriors in short combat, Huang Chao, who was supervising the battle on the riverbank, almost shocked his eyes.
The Ye family's warriors' combat effectiveness was not weak at all, and they were extremely disciplined, and they actually suppressed the strong mercenaries under him so much that they couldn't move.
That's not all, even in terms of weapons and equipment, the mercenaries are at a great disadvantage.
There was a scuffle between the two sides, countless weapons clashed, and there were always broken swords falling on the deck.
However, at a glance, all the broken swords turned out to be all weapons equipped by mercenaries!
This, how is this possible?!
Huang Chao was dumbfounded, he couldn't believe his eyes, you must know that the weapons that the mercenaries are equipped with now were replaced by him at a great cost three months ago.
Unexpectedly, the weapons of the Ye family warriors were even more sophisticated, almost crushing.
The difference in the armor of the two sides is equally obvious.
The mercenaries wear half-body leather armor, which can not only effectively protect the body, but also maintain maximum flexibility, although there is no blessing magic pattern and magic circle, but the leather of the leather armor comes from the fifth-level demonic beast, and it has enough defensiveness.
However, such armor was vulnerable under the attack of the Ye family's warriors.
On the other hand, the black leather armor of the Ye family warrior is extremely flexible, and even in the face of powerful attribute attacks, it can support it.
"What, it even blessed the magic circle?!" Huang Chao roared again in his heart, he saw with his own eyes that a Ye family warrior was stabbed in the chest with a long sword, but a flow of magic patterns appeared on his chest.
How did Huang Chao know how much financial resources and force Ye Changsheng had invested in order to equip the Ye family's warriors in recent years.
People-oriented has always been Ye Changsheng's creed, and this is true of the Sword Hall, and the same is true of the Ye family warriors.
The weapons equipped by the Ye family warriors, each of them came from the Wenjian Hall, and there were many long swords blessed with demonic thoughts.
From the appearance to the materials, to the spiritual blessings, these long swords are all the products of the Sword Hall after many deliberations.
Those Ye family warriors who have cultivated the "Demon Dragon Three Styles", the long swords they use, under the suggestion of Ye Xiangnan, the head of the head of the sect, combined with the characteristics of the "Demon Dragon Three Styles", made targeted changes to the long sword.
Such a sophisticated weapon, when it came to the hands of the Ye family's warriors, naturally exerted full power.
As for the armor and even the suit equipped by the Ye family's warriors, they are also striving for excellence.
Thanks to its good relationship with the Alchemist Guild, the Sword Hall easily obtained a large amount of precious materials.
Some of the materials are obsolete products, but they are not scrap products, but because the magic patterns and magic circles blessed on the materials cannot meet the requirements of the refiner, so they are piled up in the warehouse.
However, these eliminated products in the eyes of the refiner were all treasures in the eyes of Ye Changsheng.
The armor and costumes made of these materials are naturally not looked down upon by the high-level warriors of the Ye family, but they are perfectly suitable for equipping low-level warriors.
Of course, these materials themselves are very valuable, and they belong to the controlled materials of the principality, so they will not be available on the market easily.
That is, Ye Changsheng opened his mouth, if he was someone else, it would be impossible for the Refiner Guild to transfer it at all, let alone allow others to use these materials to make armor and disperse.
The Ye family has spared no effort over the years to equip all the Ye family's warriors, which has also improved the combat effectiveness of the Ye family's warriors to a higher level.
It was with powerful weapons and armor that the warriors under Ye Xiangdong were able to exert their might, and with the momentum of thunder sweeping the caves, they eliminated all the bandits around the river, and laid a great reputation for the Ye family's fleet.
The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, today is the time for the Ye family warriors to show their strength.
To be honest, although they have experienced a lot of battles and trials before, and have also fought a lot of tough battles, most of their opponents are some bandits who occupy the mountains as kings, as well as bandits who occupy the waterways, and the strength of the opponents is not strong.
To deal with these bandits, there is no need for tactics and strategies at all, as long as you rely on bravery, with sophisticated weapons, and under the leadership of Ye Xiangdong, you can solve most of the enemies with a few charges.
However, at this moment, the Ye family warriors are facing more powerful mercenaries.
The predecessors of these mercenaries were either cultivators eliminated by the cultivation sect, or lone thieves, or powerful Warcraft hunters, not to mention their rich combat experience, after joining the mercenary group, because of their profession, they also began to have a certain degree of organization.
Whether it is a battle or a group battle, the mercenaries can exert their due combat effectiveness.
Because of this, on the deck of the big ship, although the mercenaries were constantly injured and fell to the ground, dying on the spot, and the casualties were much greater than those of the Ye family warriors, they had stabilized their positions and formed a stalemate confrontation with the Ye family warriors.
On the riverbank, Huang Chaotie's face was blue, watching the mercenaries fall one by one, and his teeth twitched in distress.
Even when he saw the mercenaries standing firm, he didn't feel the slightest comfort.
In this battle, even if they killed all the Ye family warriors, it would be a loss-making business, and it would be a blood loss.
Until this moment, the leader of the mercenary group did not know that the role they played was actually nothing more than cannon fodder.
