Chapter 323: The powerful fusion unit—the stone statue of the dead, making a lot of money
Among these 9 arms, except for the bandage mummy, which is given as a gift at the beginning, the other arms are carefully selected by Richard.
They have a lot of potential, and they all have advantages that they can take advantage of.
Melee, ranged, cavalry, air force, spellcasters, archers, all available.
However, this does not mean that Richard is satisfied with the configuration of Twilight City at this time.
After actual combat testing, he discovered that not all armies can perform as well as he thought on the battlefield.
There is still a lot of room for improvement and improvement.
Just like the giant ax death knight.
This cavalryman carrying a giant battle ax is definitely not weak in combat effectiveness.
But he has led the army to fight so many times, and the existence of this unit has always been so weak that it is pitifully weak.
What does the cavalry need? charge!
Crush all enemies in front of you.
The fighting style of Twilight City has always been to use the superiority of firepower to suppress, and then to annihilate after gaining an absolute advantage.
This type of tactics includes the Ax of the Dead and the Sand Archers, coupled with the cooperation of the air force, it is executed very thoroughly.
As a result, the giant axe death knight fell into an embarrassing situation.
If you charge from the very beginning, you will undoubtedly cause huge damage to yourself.
But if you wait until later to attack, it won't make any difference whether they are present or not.
Moreover, as he was used to the mobility of flying units, the inability of the Giant Ax Death Knight to maneuver over long distances undoubtedly caused its status in Richard's heart to drop again.
Several other arms with low presence also have similar common problems.
After Li Cha thought carefully, he sighed softly.
"There is a long way to go."
"We have to adjust our thinking in the future. The most important thing to change is the configuration of the army. We must make the structure of the entire army more consistent with the combat style of Twilight City."
"Second, we must also improve tactics and use all armies, not just the air force."
"Relying too much on a single branch of the military, and once an accident occurs, the consequences will be fatal."
In the dungeon, the restricted airspace in the Sky Arena put Twilight City in an embarrassing situation.
After thinking for a long time, Richard recovered his thoughts and focused on his favorite weapon, the Ax of the Dead.
Since its birth, this powerful unit has firmly occupied the top spot in Twilight City with its explosive combat effectiveness.
Even if the skeletal blood dragon appeared, it could not push him down from his high position.
However, as the enemies faced by Twilight City become more and more powerful, the weaknesses of this unit also begin to be exposed.
Low mobility and short attack range are flaws that cannot be ignored.
This time when merging arms, his first choice was the Ax of the Dead.
But, what kind of troops can be matched with the Ax of the Dead?
Thinking of this, Richard's eyes moved slightly and he looked towards the dark gargoyle lair.
Similarly, after obtaining the Dark Gargoyle Lair from the single-player copy, this unit served as the main force at the beginning, and then unknowingly became a mount.
This also explains a lot of problems.
Although he is powerful in close combat, when faced with powerful enemies, Richard would not charge first under normal circumstances.
Because this often causes additional losses.
He always likes to use the minimum effort in exchange for the maximum results.
This is also the consistent fighting style of Twilight City.
"The Dark Gargoyle's strength lies in its flexibility and powerful defense, especially its immunity to magic, which makes this unit highly valuable."
"Weakness is that we are short-handed and can only fight in close combat."
"The Ax of the Dead is strong in its terrifying lethality and its range-of-effect skill - axe-shattering, making it a well-deserved violent unit."
"Weaknesses are short range, slow movement, and average survivability."
"If these two arms can be combined"
Thinking of this, Richard carefully looked at the properties of the fusion crystal.
Fusion Crystal - can fuse two types of arms. After the fusion, it will be solidified into the characteristics of the territory. It can retain the characteristics of the two types of arms and be strengthened.
After the fusion is successful, rare resources can be spent to fuse all the same troop nests in the territory.
Restrictions: 1. The probability of fusion failure when using troops from different camps is extremely high
2. The arms that are integrated with each other must have the same level and potential.
3. The fusion process is irreversible.
After thinking for a moment, Richard made a decision without hesitation.
Among the many types of arms currently available, only these two are the most suitable.
A thought came to my mind.
The system prompt sounded quietly.
"Ding~ You have selected a troop type - Stone Statue of the Dead, Dark Gargoyle. Do you want to use the fusion crystal to fuse the two troop types into one?"
"OK."
The moment you make your choice.
The fusion crystal he held tightly in his hand suddenly shattered and turned into a bright stream of light that merged into the two soldier lairs in front of him.
The next second, two adjacent troop nests began to glow with dazzling white light.
Two suns seemed to rise in the already darkened sky.
A masterpiece of brilliance.
Under the power of the fusion crystal, the two nests began to melt like candles approached by flames.
Richard observed very carefully. The two melted troop nests slowly flowed and intertwined together, turning into a wriggling jelly.
After a few minutes, the troop nests completely merged into one, and the molten energy slowly condensed into a new troop nest.
It was a house made of stone, about 6 meters high.
The wall outside the stone house is still like a tomahawk wooden house, filled with sharp tomahawks.
If you look carefully, you can vaguely see a ferocious gargoyle carved on the wall filled with battle axes.
The two military nests are combined in this special way.
After the last ray of light dimmed, the system prompt sounded.
"Ding~ The fusion of the Ax of the Dead and the Dark Gargoyle is completed, and a new unit is born - the Stone Statue of the Dead. You can recruit the newly born unit from the unit lair."
Seeing this scene, Richard immediately became excited.
Quickly open the attribute panel of the troop nest in front of you.
Lair of the Stone Statues of the Dead
[Level]: Brilliant 3 Stars
[Recruitable Troops]: Stone Statue of the Dead (Brilliant 3 Stars)
[Quantity available for recruitment]: 20
【Weekly output】: 10
[Recruitment conditions]: 200 units of gems, 200 units of crystals
[Introduction]: A military lair formed by the fusion of two military types is very rare.
Looking at the properties of the troop nests, Richard's expectations soared.
The Stone Statue of the Dead, as you can tell from its name, is a combination of two arms.
He just doesn't know whether the attributes of this new unit can be as he wishes and achieve what he wants most.
With strong expectations in his eyes, he chose to recruit.
All of a sudden.
A light gray light like a rock rose from the lair of the dead stone statue in front of him.
That light quickly condensed in the stone house.
Faintly, a vague figure appeared.
After a few breaths, the shadow condensed into a solid body, stepped out of the stone house, and then clicked a battle ax directly from the wall.
The moment the battle ax was held in his hand, countless chains condensed out of thin air and wrapped tightly around his arm.
The stone statue of the dead is born.
Seeing this new unit, Richard's eyes immediately lit up.
He has a strong build, more than 3 meters tall, and his aura is unspeakably fierce.
There is a pair of brown wings that look like they were carved out of rock.
Pieces of stone armor like dragon scales protruded from the body surface of the dead stone statue.
Those were armor pieces that grew out of the body, no longer armor. They were all black and extremely strong.
His arms are thick, holding the battle ax firmly, and the chain is wrapped around it. Once the battle ax is thrown, it will definitely cause exaggerated damage.
The eyes are empty, and the fire of the soul is burning in the head.
The Stone Statue of the Dead lives up to its name. This is the body of a stone statue driven by the soul of the dead.
In appearance, this new unit completely inherits the physical characteristics of the Ax of the Dead and the Dark Gargoyle.
Open the properties panel.
Stone Statue of the Dead
[Level]: Level 9
[Potential]: Brilliant 3 Stars
[Skills]: Stone Body of the Dead (Level B, the special body structure makes the stone statue of the dead immune to magic damage and instant death skills. At the same time, the piercing and armor-piercing damage received is reduced by 50%, and it can receive evil buff magic blessings.)

[Introduction]: A specially synthesized half-undead and half-structured life with powerful attack power.
That’s awesome! ! !
Richard's eyes were full of surprise.
The attributes of the Stone Statue of the Dead completely inherit the characteristics of the two arms, and it has also been greatly strengthened.
Six B-level skills, one racial talent, and one bond, none of them are weak.
The bond that Richard values most - the original skill of Ax of the Dead - is limited to a certain range and has a chance of causing instant death damage.
At this time, it has evolved to the point where it can cause instant death damage as long as it is thrown, and there is no distance limit.
At the same time, the skill of Ax Crush has also been greatly strengthened.
Originally, the ax smash was only area damage, but now there is a 30 chance to trigger the instant death feature, which is simply awesome.
The smile on his face could not be hidden.
Although it is two in one, the combat power of the Stone Statue of the Dead is definitely stronger than the Ax of the Dead and the Dark Gargoyle combined.
The fusion crystal is simply an artifact!
What satisfies him most is that this new unit has solidified into a territorial characteristic.
In the future, as long as you get the Ax of the Dead and the Dark Gargoyle's troop lair, you can directly consume rare resources for fusion, and no longer need fusion crystals.
This wave of blood is fucking profitable.
He looked at the two fusion gems left in his hand.
Richard's lips almost grinned.
It took a few deep breaths to suppress the excitement in my heart.
"No, there are no good units worth combining now."
"Let's buy a few more powerful units before we come back. We must not waste fusion crystals."
After calming down, he looked at the troop nest in front of him, waved his hand, and recruited all the stone statues of the dead.
4000 units each of gems and crystals were consumed.
After the fusion, ordinary resources can no longer be used to recruit, only gems and crystals are two rare resources.
In other words, 4,000 units of rare resources are needed every week to fully recruit 10 stone statues of the dead.
Thinking of this, Richard's excitement subsided a little.
In the future, there will be more advanced military units, and the recruitment requirements alone will be an astronomical sum.
But looking at the neatly arranged and fierce stone statues of the dead in front of them.
The corners of his mouth curved again.
With such a unit, no matter how high the price is, it is worth it!
With a thought, yellow sand light surged out from his body.
It directly enveloped the new troops in front of them.
They were given the signature skill of Twilight City - Sand Transformation.
In this way, the Stone Statue of the Dead has two powerful life-saving skills - Colossus of the Dead and Sand Transformation.
Its ability to survive is close to the level of metamorphosis.
Seeing this, Richard finally understood why the advanced soldiers were so durable. Each of these skills was more exaggerated than the last.
After handling it, he seemed to have thought of something and opened the unit panel and took a look.
It has been seven days since the last time the level of the troop nest was upgraded.
He can continue to upgrade using the black gold system.
Seeing this, Richard smiled bitterly and shook his head. He only had more than 16 million ordinary resources left.
Calculating that each upgrade requires 5 million, only 3 can be upgraded.
Far from all promotions.
However, there are still nearly 200,000 units of rare resources.
Richard thought for a while, and first spent 5 million ordinary resources to purchase 10,000 troop nests, and upgraded a rare Ax of the Dead nest to Brilliant 3 stars.
Then, in the new fusion panel that appears, fuse the remaining dark gargoyle lair with it.
"Ding~ Do you want to spend 5000 crystals to fuse the Ax of the Dead and the Dark Gargoyle?"
Fusion requires 5000 crystals?
Richard touched his chin. The price was not low, but compared to the properties of the stone statue of the dead, it was completely acceptable.
confirm.
The moment the choice is made.
The scene just now happened again, and a few minutes later, the two arms merged successfully.
Richard did not hesitate and directly recruited 20 more stone statues of the dead.
As a result, this newly born unit has four squads.
The Stone Statue of the Dead has flexible mobility, powerful attack power, and also has exaggerated defense capabilities and survivability.
It can be described as a perfect unit.
The only regret is that the recruited troops cannot be integrated with each other.
Otherwise, the combat power of Twilight City's army will definitely be greatly improved.
If you want to fuse next, you must create a new dark gargoyle lair.
The two lairs taken from the single-player copy have been used up.
On the contrary, I exchanged 10 points for the Ax of the Dead because I went to the last dungeon.
At this time, two were synthesized and there were still 9 left.
When Richard saw that he could no longer continue, he did not hesitate.
Recruited all the output accumulated by the troop nests in the past two weeks.
In an instant, the resources in the attribute panel dropped sharply.
The power of Twilight City immediately surged.
Rare arms——
Mummy Guardian 360→420,
Ax of the Dead 380→470
Bandaged Mummy 84→126
Scorpion Warrior 78→92
Great Ax Death Knight 198→240
Sand Archer 400→500
Kuangsha Mage 225→250
Cursed Pharaoh 45→55
Brilliant arms——
Dark Gargoyle 240, Ax of the Dead 70,
Stone Statue of the Dead——40
Heavy Knife Warrior 20.
Crown Troop——Skeleton Blood Dragon 30
A total of 408 rare units have been recruited, each unit costs 12,000 units of resources and consumes 4.896 million resources.
In addition, promotion upgrades an Ax of the Dead lair from rare to brilliant at a cost of 5 million.
The original resources of more than 16 million were left with just over 6 million.
Rare resources consume gems 1.3w crystal 8000,
Still remaining: 37,000 gems, 42,000 crystals, 50,000 mercury, 50,000 sulfur
This is the current total number of resources.
When Richard saw this, he couldn't help but have a headache.
Rare resources are currently sufficient, but common resources are somewhat lacking.
More than 8 million may seem like a lot at first glance, but it is only enough to upgrade one unit nest.
Still poor.
At present, he has given up on capturing wild resource points to obtain resources.
The barren desert did not allow him to develop like this.
Hunting, the previous main source of income, has gradually reduced its role as Twilight City's thirst for resources has increased.
If the underground world had not been developed, resources would have been stuck for a long time.
At present, if you want to earn sufficient resources for the development of Twilight City, you still need to start from the underground world and establish the business system of Twilight City.
It is far easier to earn resources through trade than through hunting.
As for trade, the treasures he now possesses are enough to cultivate the industry of Twilight City.
There are seven or eight resource treasures waiting to be placed, as well as dark crystals that can increase potential, plus enhanced crystals that can directly upgrade hero skills to super A level.
These are top-level treasures that can enhance your foundation.
Used in farming, Richard has absolute confidence that Twilight City can take off. (End of chapter)
