Chapter 793: Chapter 793: Hard-haired Pig Army

As a Duke, although his own army could be expanded without limit, it ultimately didn’t look good.

Because doing so would make him appear aggressive, especially considering events that had already happened, making Zhao Guang now wary of increasing his military might, which would probably face much opposition.

Zhao Guang had always disliked being universally opposed. He would either hide himself away or use other means to circumvent the issue.

What Zhao Guang was thinking about now was not increasing his troop strength but adding some teams that were not part of the conventional army. The Demon Puppet Army was one such force, which didn’t need to be recorded as part of the regular forces.

No matter how many he owned, others would not be able to fault him in this regard.

After all, some Mages also had their own Magic Doll teams, and no one said that was equivalent to a private army.

Of course, now there was a new option, which was the Magic Beast Army.

Originally, he had wanted to look for other Magic Beasts, but in the past few days, Zhao Guang had finally made a breakthrough at a special point. Specifically, he had conducted research on Hard-haired Pigs and found a method.

By utilizing a special structure within the body of the Hard-haired Pig and then artificially creating a core at this location,

With this core, the Hard-haired Pig would then be similar to having something like a Magic Beast Crystal Core.

By strengthening some specific spots, eventually, two special circuits would form within the Hard-haired Pig. Through these two special circuits, they could achieve effects similar to other Magic Beasts.

That day, Zhao Guang brought the transformed Hard-haired Pigs to the square for experimentation.

Even Coscola specially took time off to come over and see the effects of the new army.

“Set up the targets. I’ll have the Hard-haired Pigs give it a try,” the Soldiers immediately set up the training targets up front, while Zhao Guang led the Hard-haired Pigs from a distance.

He wouldn’t be able to control ordinary Hard-haired Pigs, but after the transformation, Zhao Guang would impose some restrictions on the Hard-haired Pigs.

Otherwise, a horde of uncontrolled and destructively powerful Magic Beasts rampaging through his territory would be a very serious matter.

“You’ve also tamed Magic Beasts for combat? This is quite common among the Beastmen. But Hard-haired Pigs, can they really be used?” Aleya also came over, wanting to see the Magic Beast Army cultivated by Humans.

The Magic Beasts among the Beastmen were mostly used as mounts or front-line combat beasts.

But these Hard-haired Pigs looked rather like large hedgehogs, though they weren’t very big.

“Well, let’s see, attack,” Zhao Guang instructed, pointing at the targets up front.

The Hard-haired Pigs could understand some simple commands now. The spikes instantly detached from their bodies and, enveloped by Wind Element, flew towards the opposite side, creating a scene of arrows flying in a dense volley.

“The attack range is very far, similar to Elemental Archers, but the power is a bit weaker.”

In an instant, the surrounding people saw clearly the capability of the Hard-haired Pigs, which amounted to a rather impressive long-range attacking team. However, compared to real Archers, there was still a significant gap.

After all, the long-range attack ability of the Hard-haired Pigs, while powerful in appearance, was not precise enough.

Meaning that they only became effective when amassed in large numbers; a small quantity would be completely ineffective.

“Their Attack Power is not weak at all. Come on, bring on the Fire Element.”

The Hard-haired Pigs launched another attack, but this time the spikes were not just Wind Element, they were also mixed with the Fire Element. This was the main method of attack that Zhao Guang had designed for them, with the Wind Element propelling them and the Fire Element causing an explosion and burning.

Indeed, after the spikes hit the target on the opposite side, they exploded on impact, turning the area into a sea of flames.

At this, even Aleya’s eyes lit up.

“With such an attack, if the Hard-haired Pigs could be deployed on a large scale, they could have a significant impact even among group armies,” Aleya thought about the power they could wield in numbers and was quite surprised.

She was no longer a person from the Beastman side, but she still instinctively considered these things.

The attacks of these Hard-haired Pigs were at most equivalent to those of ordinary Mid-level professionals.

They were very fragile in and of themselves, and it seemed that their ability to store and manipulate Element was not very strong.

But even so, once they were on a large scale, the power was still terrifying. Even the top elite legions of the Beastman side would suffer heavy losses against these Hard-haired Pigs if there were no Great Knights or other strong leaders.

“The recovery is a bit slow, it looks like we need to continue adjusting.

“The Elemental Power recovery is a little slow, but isn’t that speed not too bad?”

Sephidya came over and looked at these creatures, also somewhat surprised. In her memory, no, even in the memory of a giant dragon, Hard-haired Pigs had no value; she had never thought they could exert such power.

Of course, this kind of power had no effect on a giant dragon.

But for the legions under the dragon’s command, this was quite good.

“It’s not just the Element recovery that’s the issue; it’s also their spike growth that seems too slow, don’t you think?”

“Do you have a solution for this?” Aleya also came over, as a War Priest; she was very interested in matters of warfare.

“I plan to add Earth Element conduits, and let the Hard-haired Pigs attach a layer of Earth Element spikes on their own, instead of shooting their spikes out. When it’s time to fire, they’ll shoot this layer instead.”

“There’s no need to construct it entirely out of the Earth Element; just concentrate the soil, which will also save Magic Power.”

Hearing Sephidya’s suggestion, Zhao Guang nodded, “Good idea, too complicated pathways would also be a burden for the Hard-haired Pigs.”

Zhao Guang noted it down then planned to continue with the modifications. Once these creatures were improved, just getting some Magic Apprentices to help with the transformation of the Hard-haired Pigs would be enough, hardly taking any time at all.

As for Zhao Guang’s own pet Hard-haired Pig, he wouldn’t use such hasty and profit-seeking methods.

Zhao Guang had prepared quite a few Magic Beast Crystal Cores for his own Hard-haired Pig, along with some Magic Beast cultivation methods. These resources would have been enough to raise several High-level Magic Beasts, but now they merely elevated his own Hard-haired Pig to the level of a Mid-level Demon Beast.

Given a little more time, he believed it would grow to the level of a High-level Magic Beast.

Fortunately for Zhao Guang, with his current wealth, such an expenditure was truly insignificant.

To raise a Hard-haired Pig to such a level was a miracle in the history of Magic Beasts. If not for the feedback from his own contract, even with such cultivation, it would not be possible for his Hard-haired Pig to reach the level of a Mid-level Magic Beast.

Leaving this batch of Hard-haired Pigs for Coscola and the others to experiment with, Zhao Guang left again. This project would be continued later, as there was another matter to be resolved currently.
