Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1150 Taming the Exotic Warhorse
"You two can spar, but let me make it clear first, there are limits to sparring, don't let anything happen to me."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xu clapped his hands and reminded Li Liancheng.

"I know."

Xie Liancheng scratched the back of his head in pain.

After all, this internal competition is not a fight on the battlefield, so how could they really risk their lives to fight?
But this also means that this kind of competition is always a little lacking in meaning, and the focus is still on exchanging the experiences of both parties in some combat skills.

While the two were talking, the dark horse seemed unconvinced and stood up again with a roar.

After being easily knocked down twice by Zhou Chongshan, he finally gave in. He lowered his head obediently and made a gesture of submission.

"From today on, your name will be Black Whirlwind!"

Inside the fence, Zhou Chongshan decided on the name of the dark horse after a brief thought.

During this process, other exotic war horses were also led into other surrounding fences in order.

Obviously, Ma Guotao did not intend to do it one by one, so how long would it take?
Ma Guotao arranged a total of thirty fences like this.

In other words, thirty exotic war horses can accept the taming challenge of the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp at the same time, which greatly speeds up the entire taming operation.

But even so, the overall efficiency is not high.

After all, ordinary soldiers in the Xianzhen Camp did not possess such outstanding skills and strength as Zhou Chongshan. Most of them adopted the method of exhausting the exotic beasts and horses.

This made the entire taming process become a complete competition of physical strength and willpower, which seemed particularly long.

Fortunately, there were thirty venues going on at the same time, otherwise it would have taken more than a day to finish.

During this process, Zhou Xu discovered that the relatively fair taming rules that he had asked Ma Guotao to arrange actually had a small problem.

That is, when a soldier fails in the challenge, according to the rules, the soldier who also likes the exotic horse and has the highest number in his hand should take over.

But this also brings up problems. Doesn't this become a round-robin battle?

The first soldier to challenge has his beast horse in the best condition, so he may fail in the challenge. However, the soldiers behind him will find it much easier to challenge because other soldiers have already consumed the beast horses.

After Zhou Xu realized this problem, the soldiers in the field also obviously realized it, and some soldiers even benefited from it, but at the same time, controversy arose.

Feeling the commotion at the scene, Zhou Xu noticed this problem and stood up directly.

"quiet!"

Along with these two words, invisible mental pressure spread out directly, making the originally chaotic scene instantly silent. Even the originally unruly beasts and war horses trembled under the sweeping mental pressure, completely losing their initial arrogance.

"I have a general understanding of the situation, but you have to understand one thing. This is not a fair competition in essence. It is about taming exotic war horses. All we can do is give you a relatively fair chance."

"The soldier with the number plate at the front can challenge first. Conversely, the soldier with the number plate at the back can only get a chance after the soldier in front fails in the challenge."

"Strictly speaking, there is no question of who is taking advantage, because there are only 147 exotic beast horses in this batch. If the first 147 people are all successful in taming them, then the more than 300 people behind will not even have a chance to challenge. Is this fair?"

Zhou Xu's words made the soldiers, who were still somewhat dissatisfied, react quickly. The advantage that the soldiers with lower numbers had in taming the exotic war horses was gained by their opportunities.

If you want to take advantage of this, you must be mentally prepared that it will never be your turn and you won't even have the chance to challenge.

On the contrary, if you challenge first, you must be prepared for the possibility that your challenge will fail, and the soldiers behind you will take advantage according to the number order.

The soldiers who understood this point basically calmed down.

Next, the entire taming process surrounding the exotic war horses and the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp went very smoothly.

During the battle, Ma Guotao, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, had to admit that he had indeed underestimated the strength of the soldiers in the Xianzhen Camp.

With Zhou Xu in charge, the forty-seven exotic war horses that had been labeled as unqualified by him were eventually all tamed.

At the same time, this also gave Ma Guotao an idea.

In the future, if these unqualified exotic beast war horses were directly provided to the Xianzhen Camp or other elite troops within their Great Zhou, wouldn't this perfectly avoid the problem of waste?
What Ma Guotao didn't know at this time was that after the story of the Xianzhen Camp taming exotic war horses spread throughout the Great Zhou through storytellers, in the eyes of countless Great Zhou soldiers, taming unqualified exotic war horses had become a test.

In the years that followed, many soldiers would take the initiative to tame those exotic war horses with bad tempers and poor obedience in order to prove themselves.

But this is all for later.

Over the grassland, the sun was setting, and the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp had finally completed the task of taming the 147 exotic war horses before dark.

If nothing goes wrong, they will be able to officially start the corresponding training tomorrow.

This exotic warhorse has poor obedience. Even if it is successfully tamed, the subsequent training will undoubtedly require more time and energy than that of an ordinary warhorse.

Zhou Xu, who had anticipated this situation, had already given the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp the mantra of "beast soldier control" one by one.

Of course, the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp mainly practice martial arts. Although they also have some auxiliary mantras, their own magical skills can be basically ignored.

The strength of "beast soldier control" is deeply affected by the strength of mental power and the power of mantra. In their hands, its only function is to properly control the exotic beast horses under them when necessary.

By the way, this trick was useless when the soldiers were taming the exotic war horses before.

At that time, the alien war horses were very antagonistic to them. Under this premise, they were not fighting yet. A moment of distraction was not enough to decide the outcome.

In that kind of continuous confrontation, unless the soldiers' mental strength is strong enough to crush the enemy directly, using "beast soldier control" to forcibly control the beast horses will most likely backfire on themselves.

But after successfully taming the exotic warhorse, the situation was different.

When you become its master, the alien beast horse's awareness of confrontation with you will decrease. At this time, with the help of "beast soldier control", you can greatly improve the obedience of the alien beast horse.

Even after the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp and the exotic beast horses have developed enough tacit understanding, when they encounter some special situations on the battlefield, they can also control the actions of the exotic beast horses more easily through the mantra of "beast soldier control".

This is undoubtedly the effect Zhou Xu wanted to achieve.
