Chapter 32 Longbowmen and Intermediate Warriors
Level 3 archers advance to level 4 longbows. The changes are much more obvious than when a trainee archer advances to an archer.
First of all, the body of the level 3 shooter seemed to have grown a second time. From being the same height as a trainee shooter before, he is now a head taller.
Then the arms became thicker visibly, and the well-developed biceps made one look envious of them.
If we talk about the previous level 3 archers, they looked similar to ordinary people, but after upgrading to the level 4 long archers, they directly turned into super macho men.
The figure of the long archer reminded Xu Lai of the village chief Lazi he saw at the village gate yesterday. His upper body, which was only bandaged, was full of muscle strength.
However, according to the Lazi village chief, he has been practicing swordsmanship with famous swordsmen in the city since he was a child, and was only promoted to a fourth-level warrior when he was 30 years old.
Not long after being promoted to level 4, he retired due to disability.
After inheriting the position of village chief for more than ten years, he has never been promoted.
Under Xu Lai's command, a level 2 trainee marksman had only been fighting for a few days, but only three days of fighting, and after three almost crushing battles, he jumped to level 4. longbowman.
Xu Lai himself finds such monsters terrifying, let alone other people who have been robbed of their jobs by these monsters. It is no wonder that Lazi and the others are so hostile to these so-called monsters.
The most obvious change of the longbowman is that his original short bow has transformed into a longbow that is almost as tall as a man.
The entire bow is about 1.5 meters long, and its name is fir longbow. Xu Lai doesn’t know whether it is made of fir.
I only know that in the hands of a longbowman, this bow can extend the shooting range to an exaggerated 300 meters.
Apprentice shooters and level 3 shooters both have a limit range and an optimal shooting range. Apprentice shooters are shorter, the best range is within 50 meters, and the ultimate range is 100 meters.
Longbowmen, however, have the ability to project, that is, they do not shoot directly at the target, but shoot the arrows into the sky and use the impact of the arrows falling from the sky to kill the target.
This killing distance of more than 300 meters is achieved by projectile, but it has a fatal flaw, which comes with a 50% hit reduction and an 80% damage reduction.
Within the extreme range, there is no hit damage and only 50% damage reduction.
The ultimate range of a longbowman is very long. Xu Lai estimated it to be about 200 meters. This was the data he measured by running himself.
The optimal range should be reduced by half, that is, only 100 meters away.
However, within 100 meters, longbowmen using carved feather arrows could shoot most of the nearly 1 meter long arrows into the tree trunks.
With this terrifying lethality, Xu Lai didn’t want to take a hit even if he wore iron armor.
Apprentice archers and archers are equipped with short swords. However, after advancing to longbow, the sword is no longer hung on the waist, but is carried on the back.
There is a large quiver on the left and right waists, each containing 35 carved feather arrows. On the back, which is longer than half the body of this strong man, is the standard "two-handed sword" of the longbowman.
A two-handed sword requires two hands to control. The handle of the sword is more than 20 centimeters by visual inspection, and the blade is more than 1.2 meters by visual inspection. The width is normal, just slightly wider than the previous dagger.
The weapons have changed significantly, and the equipment is not inferior. The whole body has been replaced by iron-lined leather armor and leather boots, and the head has been replaced by a round steel helmet.
The promotion from level 3 to level 4 only costs 100 gold coins. This change is too great, it is simply a qualitative mutation.
When Xu Lai looked at Su Ya curiously, Su Ya gave Xu Lai the answer as expected.
"Master is wondering why the long archer has such obvious changes?"
Xu Lai nodded and said: "Yes, this thing is like taking hormones and continues to swell like this. Will he still be like this if he goes up two levels?" Su Ya covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Master, don't worry, even if he can level up two more levels, there won't be such an obvious change."
Facing Xu Lai, Su Ya was always full of patience. She continued to explain:
“The reason why they have such obvious improvement is because the promotion from level 3 to level 4 is a leap.
In this world, except for special beings such as leaders, generals and heroes, which are classified in detail, other professionals only have 10 levels
0 representatives. Nothing, also represents hope, is the foundation.
Levels 1 to 3 are the most numerous warriors in each camp and are called low-level warriors.
Warriors of levels 4 to 6 are the backbone of each camp. Their quantity and quality often determine the outcome of a battle. They are mid-level warriors, also known as elite warriors. .
Finally, there are the warriors of levels 7 to 9, who are the ultimate power of each camp and a general intimidation.
They are few in number. If there are a large number of casualties in a battle, the entire camp is at risk of destruction. They are called high-level warriors, also called champions.
Master, if you want to explain your question in detail, it is probably that at this leap-forward stage, the energy in the body will change qualitatively, which will have a certain impact on the outside.
In other words, it is impossible for him to change his body shape in subsequent promotions, unless he is lucky enough to cross the threshold of a high level.
And by that time, there may be more than just changes in body shape. "
Xu Lai nodded. Su Ya explained clearly, but Xu Lai also knew that it would not be that easy to be promoted to a high level.
In a big battle, of course more than one person would be promoted. The archer unit, farmers and militiamen each also received promotion opportunities.
However, Xu Lai did not choose to promote them all. Instead, he promoted the last two male farmers to militiamen, and the remaining four female farmers. Preserve the identity of the farmer
The promotion of two militiamen cost another 20 gold coins, and the promotion of the militiamen was much more expensive because Xu Lai did not promote him to a trainee infantryman.
“Discover soldiers who can be advanced:
1. It costs 10 gold coins to upgrade the level 1 militia to level 1 trainee infantry.
2. It costs 30 gold coins. Level 1 militiamen can be upgraded to level 2 rogues. "
Two advancement options, the first one is to transfer to a formal combat profession, but the level remains the same and the gold coins consumed are not too much. .
The second option is also to change the profession into a combat profession, but the level is increased by one level and the price is tripled.
A total of two militiamen were qualified to advance. Xu Lai randomly picked one and advanced him to a level 2 rogue.
In this situation, farmers are still crucial. At least until Xu Lai finds a way to hire farmers, he will not be able to reduce the number of farmers.
The number of 8 farmers is already very low. If Xu Lai hadn't been very curious about the rogue profession, he would probably not be willing to be promoted.
Level 2 rogue: Each person consumes 1 unit of food per day, has the sprint characteristic, and can gain 3 minutes of sprint time every hour, and the movement speed is increased by 30%.
Note: Sprint time can be accumulated, and a rogue can accumulate up to 9 minutes.
