Chapter 126: Arming the Undead Soldiers

In addition to the basic information of these undead creatures, Guo Dafu also knew the reason why these undead creatures kept wandering around.

After cleaning up the ruins of a building not far ahead, Guo Dafu dug out a seriously damaged jade seal at a depth of more than ten meters underground, the jade of this jade seal was actually rare black, and the thing carved on the seal was not a dragon and phoenix or a unicorn or other divine beasts, but a hideous skull.

"How can there be such a magic weapon on the Orlan Star side? Could it be that there was once a supernatural power here before? Guo Dafu muttered to himself in confusion, and at the same time wanted to refine this magic weapon.

As a result, it was found that this magic weapon was too badly damaged, and there was no value in repairing it, and after Guo Dafu sighed helplessly, he could only extract the pure yin qi stored in it and inject it into his soul flag.

As the Yin Qi was extracted clean, this magic weapon, which was already seriously damaged, directly turned into a pile of flying ashes, and the Soul Flag, because of such a large amount of pure Yin Qi nourishment, was actually directly promoted from the lower grade of the Xuan Rank to the upper grade of the Xuan Rank, and it was only a little bit close to reaching the lower grade of the Ground Rank.

And with the increase of its grade, the strength and number of undead that this thing can accept have also been greatly improved, and now this dementor banner can subdue the undead with the highest innate sixfold strength, and the number of undead that can be contained has also increased from 100,000 to 500,000.

With Guo Dafu's operation, the remaining undead here were also included in the dementor flag, and in the final calculation, it was found that the total number reached as much as 460,000.

However, this is also a special situation, so many undead will gather, under normal circumstances, after the undead are born, in order to hunt living creatures, they will definitely leave the place of birth little by little, and it is impossible to gather together on such a large scale.

Now that it has been proved that this Dementor Banner can indeed subdue these undead creatures, Guo Dafu is ready to refine more than a dozen more surfaces and hand them over to the extraordinary flying beasts of Dark Green, and go to all over the world to subdue those undead creatures that are wandering around.

Although most of these undead creatures are naturally transformed from the corpses of Oran Star humans, they have no kindness to their former compatriots, and they will attack when they encounter them, and even because of their large numbers, they are everywhere, so the threat to those human survivors is even greater than that of fierce beasts and demons, so it is necessary to clean them up as soon as possible, and this can also allow Guo Dafu to obtain a huge army of cannon fodder.

Although these undead are very weak, they don't need to eat, they don't need to pay military salaries, and they are not afraid of death or tiredness. When pulled to the battlefield, it can become an iron army that is not afraid of death and can fight to the last man.

And if you want these cannon fodder to play a better role on the battlefield, Guo Dafu has to match the equipment of these guys.

Because he knew that most of these low-level undead had very low intelligence and could not comprehend too complex tactics, Guo Dafu felt that he should not give these guys any eighteen weapons, but to minimize their class categories, so that the corresponding tactics would become relatively simple and could be well executed by these undead soldiers.

After some consideration, Guo Dafu decided to let those skeletons become musketeers, equipped with the Demon Slayer Type 1 rifle, and after becoming musketeers, there are not many combat skills that need to be mastered, that is, musket loading and shooting, at most, to practice bayonet fighting skills. However, Guo Dafu feels that most of them only need these skeleton soldiers to shoot, and this kind of mechanical repetitive reloading and firing may be a bit exhausting for ordinary soldiers, but it is nothing at all for these undead creatures who never feel tired, as long as the rifle does not malfunction and the ammunition is enough, these guys can even fight until they are old.

And since the firepower of flintlock pistols is not as good as modern firearms such as assault rifles after all, Guo Dafu feels that it is also necessary to arrange a melee unit for the skeletons to protect the skeleton musketeers and give them more opportunities to output firepower.

The type of troops that can be qualified for this task is naturally the phalanx pikemen in Guo Dafu's opinion.

In ancient times, people actually did the same, allowing phalanx pikemen to cover the musketeers, and when a large number of phalanx pikemen formed a dense array of guns, it was difficult for either infantry or cavalry to break through their defenses head-on.

For the phalanx pikemen, the most important point is to have an extremely strong willpower, no matter what kind of impact the enemy faces, they must stick to their positions, because this spear phalanx is very important to collective cooperation, once a soldier does a desertion, it will make a gap in the gun array, giving the enemy a chance to break through.

And holding the ground is obviously not a difficult thing for undead creatures to do, or slow zombies are suitable for this kind of combat mission that does not need to move much, but only needs to stick to their posts, so as to achieve the effect of promoting their strengths and avoiding weaknesses.

Guo Dafu plans to equip these zombies with heavy full-body plate armor to ensure their defense, so that they don't need to carry additional shields and can fight with spears in both hands.

And the phalanx spears equipped with these zombies will also be very long, more than five meters long. In fact, Guo Dafu and they had tried to make some of this spear before, and they were ready to equip it with the militia. However, because of its long length, it is also very heavy, and the soldiers have to fight with such a long phalanx spear all the time, which is extremely exhausting, and after ten minutes, they will become extremely tired. So in the end, this phalanx spear, which was simple in structure and easy to make, was eliminated and was not officially installed in the army.

But now, it can be made and equipped for zombies, after all, the biggest feature of zombies is that their brute strength is amazing, and because they are undead creatures, they will not be tired, so they can always fight with such a super long spear, and they don't have to worry about the consumption of physical strength.

After deciding on the composition of the undead legion, Guo Dafu immediately began to make some modifications to the undead who had been subdued, so that these undead soldiers could adapt to the tactics he had developed for them.

Guo Dafu first singled out the ghosts and ghouls among the undead, although these guys are not weak among the many undead, but there is no place in the undead army he plans to build, especially the ghosts, as spirits, they can't even equip armor weapons, and they are especially afraid of living enemies with strong qi and blood, and they are simply defeated by most of the fierce beasts that rely on strong bodies to fight. As for the ghouls, due to the serious distortion of their bodies, if they want to equip them with armor, they have to be specially redesigned according to their size, and these guys' fingers have also been seriously deformed, plus they have very long nails, and they can't hold weapons, which is similar to those war beasts, but Guo Dafu's war beasts are much stronger than these ghouls, and their brains are much smarter than these low-level undead. Therefore, Guo Dafu has no reason to build such a force with the same function as those war beasts.

Guo Dafu didn't waste any of these useless undead creatures, and after selecting them, he used the Soul Banner to break up these ghosts and ghouls into a stream of yin energy, which was injected into the bodies of other undead creatures, enhancing their cultivation, and by the way, in the process, some 'programs' were reset in their soul fire.

These low-level undead, because their minds are too simple, so the combat skills they can master are too few, so Guo Dafu has to erase their original combat skills, and then engrave some of the combat skills he needs them to master into their soul fire.

By the time the transformation was over, the strength of these undead creatures who had been nourished by a large amount of Yin Qi energy had at least increased by a small realm, such as those who had a relatively low starting point, and they had increased the strength of two or three small realms at once. And because Guo Dafu has a dementor in his hands, the promotion direction of these undead creatures is also under Guo Dafu's control, and there are no more ghouls and other things, but they are all unified into three types: skeleton warriors, zombie warriors and plague zombies.

Now the average strength of this undead army has almost reached the level of the acquired triple, although compared to the elite of the field army under his command, it is still a weak chicken, but it is also a lot higher than before.

After saying hello to the soldiers stationed in the Tower of Light, Guo Dafu took the Dementor Banner, which had stored 400,000 transformed undead creatures, back to the Xuangu Continent through the teleportation array.

Then Guo Dafu's clone over there began to try to equip a small number of undead soldiers with the equipment he had planned, to see if these undead soldiers had really mastered the use of those weapons and equipment.

First of all, the demon exterminator type flintlock pistol, which was already in mass production, Guo Dafu easily got a hundred, and then those phalanx super long guns, the production is also very simple, the gun only needs to go to the field to choose a hardwood and cut it down, this Xuangu Continent has recently begun to recover because of the aura, and various plants have also gained great benefits, these already strong hardwoods are now almost as hard as fine iron. Then attach a spear head made of ferocious beast alloy to these guns, and this spear will be considered ready.

As for the armor of those skeletons and zombies, most of them are also armor eliminated by previous troops, such as the heavy plate armor worn by zombies, which is the heavy steel plate armor eliminated by the previous heavy infantry, and the armor of the skeletons is the bone scale type 1 battle armor and breastplate armor that were eliminated by the previous troops.

After arming a hundred zombie pikemen and a hundred skeleton flintlock pikemen, Guo Dafu immediately pulled these undead soldiers to the training ground for drills.

I saw that the skeletons and flintlock pistols were fired in four rows, using the rotational firing method he had designed for the crossbowmen before, with the front row responsible for firing and the back three rows responsible for loading ammunition.

Guo Dafu observed for a while and found that although the movements of those skeleton soldiers were a little stiff and dull, they were indeed completed step by step according to his pre-set set, and they could shoot a volley in seven or eight seconds relatively stably, without any mistakes in the middle.

Then he asked the hundred zombie pikemen, holding the more than five meters long phalanx spears, to quickly line up into a regular spear phalanx, and let dozens of war beasts and human soldiers trained around try to attack it, but they were all forced to retreat by the spear array.

The reason why the front of this gun array has such a strong defense is because it uses the formation to exert the collective strength of the soldiers.
