Mythical Three Kingdoms

”Hmm, that’s considered a decent talent, not too strong overall; it mainly depends on how it’s used,” Chen Xi said nonchalantly. Some Legion Talents appear weak but are unusually strong in special environments; it mainly comes down to versatility, and this talent happens to be quite versatile.

But to get back to the point, Zhao Yun has already trained the second attribute of the White Horse, which, as Zhao Yun estimated, is indeed close combat capability. Furthermore, due to the exceptionally high speed of the White Horse, it can actually deal shocking damage with its cavalry sword.

The drawback, however, is that the White Horse’s close combat must maintain ultra-high speed. Once the speed drops, the phenomenal damage of the White Horse directly decreases exponentially, and vice versa.

In short, when the speed of the White Horse is fully open, combined with its Wind Repelling talent, it can basically cut through plate armor easily. But the current major issue is that when the speed of the White Horse reaches such a high level, no matter how ridiculously high its agility is, it cannot be easily controlled.

The massive damage is dealt by the White Horse Soldiers at their highest moving speed, nearly three times the speed of an Iron Cavalry charge. At such high speed, the close combat damage of the White Horse is already on par with the headquarters of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

By relying on the Perception of Wind, the White Horse Soldiers can easily sense attacks during high-speed movement. Similarly, by harnessing the manipulation of wind, when combined, the White Horse can rely on its own agility to easily dodge the vast majority of attacks.

Under this premise, the White Horse also has the qualification for close combat. Relying on the kinetic energy converted from high-speed thrusts and the cavalry sword vibration extended from Wind Repelling, the White Horse’s damage is almost comparable to the elite level of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry headquarters.

This level of damage is already sufficient to kill Military Spirit Legions. However, the White Horse has encountered a new issue.

On one hand, the prerequisite for the second Elite Talent is high-speed thrust, which leads to the White Horse still being unable to charge. But this is not important; light cavalry cutting around the periphery is already quite a good combat method.

On the other hand, the reaction of the White Horse Soldiers couldn’t keep up. For the White Horse Soldiers to deal high damage, the speed needs to be particularly fast, and with such speed, the reaction needs to be particularly high. Especially since the speed of the White Horse is more than just fast, with full speed ahead, it already surpasses the reaction speed of the soldiers.

This means that the White Horse Soldiers couldn’t adapt to the attack mode during high-speed thrusts, and during the stake training, they would miss attacks massively!

This was even with the addition of Zhao Yun’s Legion Talent, the Calm Talent keeping attention highly focused, but even so, there was still not much effect. The speed was just too fast, so fast that most soldiers couldn’t grasp the right timing to swing the sword.

Ironically, if the speed was reduced, the soldiers’ hit rate would be much higher. The downside is that the speed decreased, the attack greatly decreased, and at the same time, the Wind Repelling’s ability slightly decreased, resulting in lower evasion, leaving Zhao Yun’s head spinning.

The White Horse can engage in close combat, and the damage in close combat is particularly high. But due to the ultra-high evasion needing ultra-high speed for assurance, and the ultra-high damage being tied to ultra-high speed, this means the core high speed must be maintained. Yet with higher speed, the reactions can’t keep up, and Zhao Yun couldn’t balance these aspects at all.

Not long ago, after training several batches and discovering this issue, Ma Chao came to stir up trouble and was beaten by Zhao Yun. In a bad mood afterward, Zhao Yun ruthlessly trained Ma Chao in Legion Talents.

With Ma Chao’s Corps Talent activated, the Righteous Followers of White Horse raised their speed to three times the charge speed of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. That astonishing reaction speed allowed them to grasp such ultra-high-speed movement very well, and they could better touch the power of the wind.

At the moment of swinging the sword, the burst of force nearly stepped into the damage level of a Military Spirit Legion, making Zhao Yun feel a tightness in his chest at that moment.

Afterwards, Ma Chao naturally got beaten again, but being able to disgust Zhao Yun, Ma Chao was already very satisfied. Although he got beaten, he left in good spirits.

This fact made everyone aware that Legion Talents truly depend on how you use them. Many powerful talents exist, but there is absolutely no strongest talent—it depends on the user.

Chen Xi understood this principle early on, so he didn’t find Gao Lan’s talent too strong. However, it is undeniable that Gao Lan’s Legion Talent has a very high survival ability on the battlefield!

”Kill!” Gao Lan roared as he led his headquarters in a countercharge against the Northern Huns surging from the north, forcibly pushing back over ten thousand young and strong Northern Huns led by Huyan Dada. The might of the Four Courts of Hebei was vividly displayed at this moment!

The northern Huns, regardless of men, women, or children, madly launched assaults in Gao Lan’s direction. However, wave after wave of attacks, resulting in damage, was instantly restored after being heavily damaged by Gao Lan’s headquarters multiple times, with slight improvements, causing the crazed Huns to gradually come to their senses. No one wanted to fight an enemy that was undying and stronger than themselves.

Gao Lan also noticed this situation and gradually rotated the soldiers who have used the Legion Talent twice or even three times from the periphery to the inner circle, then sent the inner circle soldiers out. What he wanted was intimidation, not sacrifice.

”Go die for me!” Gao Lan shouted as he swept away several young Northern Huns in front of him, snatched a long spear, and madly injected dark red, fluid-like Inner Qi into it before hurling it furiously.
