Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 652 345: Preparations Before the Flames of War, The Completely Mad Armory_2

The Tyrant King, who mixed other racial bloodlines, could not even thrive on the sea bed like other fishmen; he couldn't even stay in the ocean for extended periods.Such a fishman, not much better than a beggar, eventually became the leader of the Fishman Tribe at the time and led the creation of the Mermaid Empire, a truly inspirational tale.

The Sea Roar Armor he possessed is a unique trinity armor.

It is made from materials of Storm Sub-Dragons, Thunder Sub-Dragons, and gigantic Sea Serpent Dragons.

According to combat needs in different situations, this armor has the power to summon winds and rain, and call forth thunder, making it undeniably the strongest armor for water battles on the continent.

Yes, indeed, the divine artifact now worshipped by the Mermaid Empire is this Sea Roar Armor.

Later...

They encountered Emperor Lao Deng.

The specifics aren't very clear, but it's known that the strongest of the Mermaid Empire faced the hammer of justice, even having their Sea Roar Armor completely stripped and taken back to Ense.

Later, the Mermaid Empire spent a massive cost to reclaim their divine artifact.

Although Ense was unable to fully unravel the technology to create the Sea Roar Armor, they successfully completed a lower-level substitute.

Storm Roarers, Thunder Roarers, and Deep Water Roarers.

The functions of the Sea Roar Armor in different fields have been analyzed, and it is also a top-notch legendary armor.

Since all three are lightweight armors modified from the same armor foundation, the direction to proceed next is what Beatrice needs to consider.

Here's a joke, even though this trinity armor has been split, due to the unmatched strength in their respective directions, when water war elites are uniformly equipped with specific armors, their influence on surrounding weather may even surpass that of the former Sea Roar Armor.

"Currently, can only 1500 sets of the Jiaolong I be equipped at the maximum?"

Louis nodded: "Not much more can be added."

"What a pity. If we could have 3000 sets and prepared in advance, we could have launched a large-scale hunt on the Mermaid Empire's demigods."

Beatrice said this with an indescribable fierceness in her tone.

Louis knew she wasn't joking.

With the Sea Monsters getting demonized, whether it was the decision of a small part of the Mermaid Empire or an agreement within their high ranks, Beatrice decided to treat them as prey on her hunting list.

Methods targeting these oceanic races must be found.

The Jiaolong I was born for this purpose.

Unfortunately, due to limited materials, even with Ense's financial capabilities and frugality, only 1500 sets could be produced.

This was still the result of some demigods within the empire voluntarily offering support after learning of this.

Hmm~ some of their soldiers, even their own direct descendants, were the empire's core combat force, not lacking elite from the Soldier Tomb Army.

However, organizational structure matters.

Using ordinary mass-produced sword marbles versus using special modified sword marbles, those are entirely different concepts.

To allow their own factions to have a chance to participate, they really went on a spree this time.

Even if they don't enter special organizations, they can perform a "justice exchange" with other demigods providing raw materials.

Louis chose to ignore their operations.

Ahem, isn't this akin to company executives joining forces with another company's executives to arrange for mutual entry of their descendants?

If you have power and don't use it, what are you, a fool?

Moreover, those obtaining Soldier Tomb Army spots have passed Ense's vetting, thoroughly loyal.

The demigods themselves chipped in for updates to royal equipment, which seems quite reasonable!

The two hardened-hearted couples accepted it.

"Medium-sized ground combat infantry armor Dilong I, and its improved cavalry version Tieyu I, each with 1500 sets, I truly didn't think our family resources were so abundant, these two pieces of equipment can completely mow down standard legions."

The Dilong I reference armor was the legendary armor [Holy Conqueror] produced by Furnace Castle.

It's worth noting that there isn't only one set of Holy Conqueror; historically, fourteen pieces have been produced, each with top strongmen from various countries, leaving a good name.

However, based on the differences between the creators of this legendary armor, there are supreme versions usable even by demigods, and basic forms that count as superior among ordinary legendary strongmen.

Resisting evil, increasing mental resistance, significantly enhancing muscle strength, accelerating blood flow to break through power limits... every ability is very practical.

This armor did not rely on the Imperial Workshop's help.

The Soldiers Tomb Army dispatched this time mainly serves as a small test and theory verification; otherwise, it wouldn't be a mix from various major legions.

In the current contracted Soldiers Tomb groups, one group holds the majority of spots due to absolute numbers.

That is the colossal White Crow Legion, with the most soldiers, the highest individual strength limits, and the most middle-level strongmen.

It's even said that quite a few of the empire's top legions today split off from the White Crow Legion.

As the White Crow Legion, which has long safeguarded various parts of the empire, its leader, the King of Crows, is Ense Empire's strongest, aside from the emperor.

Hmm, let me highlight something important.

In the original timeline when Enigma ascended, Beatrice entrusted her forces to assist Enigma in safeguarding the Cygnet, with the King of Crows being the most crucial among them.

If the King of Crows hadn't sided with Enigma, it would've been impossible to suppress so much opposition.

And the strongest armor of the Holy Conqueror produced by Furnace Castle isn't even in Furnace Castle's hands.

Yes, the strongest armor belongs to Lantel Luyia, the King of Crows, for personal use.

Former King of Adventurers, Imperial Thunder, Death Crow Feather, Dragon King Hunter, former mightiest of the empire…

This sequence of titles is a testament to Lantel Luyia's past countless glory.

The medium-sized ground combat infantry armor Dilong I already had an owner upon its birth.

All are allocated to the White Crow Legion, wherein the King of Crows, Lantel Luyia, forms a special operations group by personally selecting elites.

Due to the sheer strength of the King of Crow's Holy Conqueror, it utilized too many scarce resources, leaving no room for mass production.

Thus, the Dilong I armor is essentially a weakened version of the basic Holy Conqueror.

And even in the entirety of Limuru's capabilities and all of Ense's reserves, only 11 sets have been produced compared to Lantel Luyia's armor.

And the mass-produced sword marble originally fused with Lantel Luyia's armor is the only one among all sword marbles to further undergo modifications.

In Louis's words, a marshal ought to have a marshal's standards; since 11 sets of the highest grade Holy Conqueror have been produced, they must elevate the Crow King's armor to even a half-level higher, preferably creating demigod armor.

Here's a joke.

This year alone, the number of top-tier legendary armors produced by Ense equaled Furnace Castle's 200-year output, equivalent to the worldwide production from countries excluding Ense over 40 years.

It's almost inhuman.

And Tieyu I is a specialized version of the Dilong I, suitable for cavalry combat.

This troop will be directly overseen by Beatrice.

And of the last two armor sets remaining, one is called the Burning I.

Yes, this is the only one in the series specifically for Mages, with only 1000 sets, merely 200 more than the Hidden Dragon I.

This set primarily boosts mana manipulation armor, including those with the Desert Wind Ninety-One Swords profession.

Hmm... Louis even kept a set for himself.

No choice, Burning I mainly strengthens fire elemental damage and auxiliary magic enhancements.

"Olivia, this is for you."

"Huh? There's one for me?" The little swan was shocked; since when did Louis become so considerate to give her gifts?

Louis seemed to read her mind and calmly added:

"I, along with Beatrice, specifically made this for you, emptied our savings."

Then his expression visibly contorted.

Olivia's eyes lit up; seeing Louis's immensely pained expression, she realized it must be something good.

Beatrice did ask a question:

"What about the Titan I?"

Louis shrugged and said, "Titan I is probably the last thing to worry about, you know, it's meant to provide for the masses in large quantities, and it's thick-skinned."

True that, for the raw material of the Titan I, it's a manifestation of the Desolate Bone Great Demon.

Remembering this, even Louis's face showed a subtle smile.

Thanks to the friend risking death to send their materials!

He had a hunch that the newly emerging Soldiers Tomb Army birthed from this wave could possibly create miracles in the Star Continent's military campaigns.
