"He sprayed all his blood through his weapon. Its power is barely passable, effective within ten steps, but beyond that, it’s useless." His Majesty Sal laughed in a self-mocking manner, "Something is better than nothing. At least we’ve got an additional desperate measure. After all, there are far too few high-level warriors capable of ’self-initiated berserk’, and ’Iscidium metal’ is not produced in our country."
Richard mumbled, "This is somewhat similar to the self-explosion function of the Shark People from the Sea Clan and Goblin Clan."
This was not unexpected for him. ’Berserk War Song’ is basically synonymous with a loss of rationality. Even if the ’Command Aura’ can play its role in directing, it still cannot allow Beamon warriors who have lost their reason to flexibly control the ’Iron Blood Berserk’ blood volume attack!
This wasn’t the first blow either. When attacking the ’Lishan Gate,’ Old Liu volunteered young priests to experiment with the ’Suicide War Song Scroll,’ only to fail. Clearly, the self-destructive war song that burns the entire body’s song power isn’t viable for scroll usage yet.
"Where is Iscidium Metal produced now in Tel Aviv? I’ll just go and rob it!" Richard said unwillingly.
Only Iscidium Metal can calm a regular Beamon warrior into berserk, and it takes just ten ounces to melt it. With this prerequisite, as long as the source can be found, Richard has his ways.
"That idea’s too ridiculous. After all, we of the Aegean Race are comrades in the same trench now." His Majesty Sal burst out laughing, "However, there truly is a group of Berserkers of Tel Aviv, about three thousand men, crossing over Pompei, heading straight for Dorott, coming into the Donau Wasteland. I only learned of this when speaking to King Laudrup of Pompei yesterday. Who knows what these berserkers coming to Donau are up to? Are they possibly here to help our Beamon?"
"Those clueless buffoons? Do they even qualify to be called berserkers?" Richard sneered, "The Berserkers of Tel Aviv who can’t see clearly when fighting? Even if there were thirty thousand of them, I’d have no trouble taking them down! I’ve got experience dealing with them. These warriors can’t be provoked. Once stimulated, they attack indiscriminately. If I preemptively launch a berserk war song at them, they’ll sure start fighting each other."
"You’re really quite the devil!" His Majesty Sal rolled his eyes. Even though the same trick can’t be used twice, the brain of this Shaman of Divine Songs truly has a knack for lateral thinking. Who uses berserk war songs to bolster others? But seriously, if done, it would undoubtedly be a nightmare for the berserkers!
"Speaking of berserk, as a king who was once a warrior, I’ve carefully studied the pros and cons of the ’Iron Blood Berserk’ and ’Penta Berserk’ that you told me about. The analysis results are fairly optimistic." His Majesty Sal scratched his head and led Old Liu to a secluded spot by the bamboo forest, where they both sat down.
"We both know, let alone full-body blood loss, even a quarter loss is lethal! The attack ability of ’Iron Blood Berserk’ depends primarily on the berserk level. At a high level, even a drop can pierce gold and shatter stone! At a low level, it relies on blood volume; the more released, the higher the attack power! I had the palace warriors test this, and it really works this way!" His Majesty Sal indeed considered things much more thoroughly than Richard, "Among our Beamon, there are plenty of big guys with more blood volume compared to the Demon Clan and Sea Clan, so in that aspect, we have an advantage."
"However... this only encompasses high-level Beamon warriors capable of ’self-initiated berserking,’ not the ordinary warriors!" Richard was both amused and exasperated at His Majesty’s self-reassurance, "Releasing blood isn’t the same as releasing Dou Qi. Even for the largest Orephin giants, they can at most release one or two more blood blades than other Beamon warriors. Any more, and their life is at risk. What’s advantageous about that?"

"Richard, don’t forget that there is a most special kind of berserk in the ’self-initiated berserk’—the ’Sync Berserk’ that happens between a knight and their beast companion!" His Majesty Sal wore an expression as if he knew Richard would say that, "Isn’t your Spurs Knight Korina an example? In our Bimon Kingdom, ’Gemini Cavalry’ is not numerous, but we’ve got one hundred and fifty-three! The knight’s blood plus the beast companion’s blood, the power released by that iron blood is quite extraordinary, definitely comparable to a Magical Beast!"
"I honestly hadn’t thought of that." Richard gaped, imagining how much blood a berserk mammoth could spray as blades, clicking his lips repeatedly, "Older is wiser, it’s indeed Your Majesty who thinks ahead."
"Furthermore, the loss of blood volume can be completely compensated by your ’Bloodsucking War Song’! But nationwide, you’re the only priest who can perform ’Bloodsucking War Song’. We don’t have time. Even if you disseminate the war song’s emperor’s division, the priests will probably not learn and apply it quickly enough!" His Majesty Sal said solemnly, "All our high-level warriors capable of ’self-initiated berserk’ are basically officers, it’s unrealistic to transfer them all to you, but the ’Gemini Cavalry’ counts only one hundred and fifty-three men, all serving in the Imperial Guard. I think I have the authority to assign them all to you to maximize their combat power!"
