Chapter 177 You are worthy of our try
This upgrade is not as fast as the last one.
The last time Xu Lai had just upgraded in front of the Ancient Tree of Wisdom and joined the battle, he should have gained more than half of his experience by three levels.
This time, although Xu Lai improved by two levels, his experience bar actually only increased by one level and about 60%.
But in fact, today's battle is much more dangerous and difficult than the charge some time ago.
In the previous charge, Xu Lai was well protected. Today, not only did his own physical strength and the physical strength of the war horse be exhausted, but after using a physical strength potion, he also had very little physical strength left.
I don’t know how many knives have been cut all over my body, and the magical armor with amazing defense has been cut with countless scars.
Fortunately, the magical armor was not completely destroyed. As long as Xu returned to his Qingfeng Town and rested in the meeting hall, he could still recover on his own.
The two-level attributes that have been improved this time are one for physical fitness and the other for agility.
The improvement in level and physique, coupled with the newly added treasure Vitality Holy Bottle, allowed Xu Lai's health to break through the 250 level, reaching as high as 265 points.
The blackjack constitution also made his orange health bar and stamina bar accelerate toward a green health state.
With the support of equipment, Xu Lai's agility is actually not low. After increasing by 1 point, it has reached 20 points, and 5 more points can be added to Qingfeng Town's sphere of influence.
Upgrading also brings two opportunities to upgrade your specialization. The first upgrade is to choose between intermediate logistics and basic tactics.
There is no doubt that Xu Lai chose intermediate logistics.
[Intermediate Logistics Technique]: Increases the movement speed and supply speed of the entire army by 20%, and activates the additional effect of Logistics Technique "Supply".
Supplies: The upper limit of the load of all soldiers in the army is increased by 10%, and the upper limit of the load of livestock is increased by 20%.
The maximum load capacity of humans is increased by 10%, and that of livestock is increased by 20%, which means that each person can carry several more units of food or heavy objects such as arrows, which can indeed greatly improve the supply capacity.
In addition, the intermediate logistics technique can also increase the movement speed of the entire army by another 10%. This improvement is still an improvement in basic attributes. It would be better if the basic movement speed could be increased.
For the second upgrade, no new specialization appeared. Xu Lai was asked to choose between master-level leadership skills and advanced archery skills.
To be honest, Xu Lai was still confused about this choice.
[Master Leadership Technique]: The morale of the entire army is +7, the additional effect of activating the leadership technique is 3, and the morale loss rate of one's own side is reduced by 50%.
[Advanced Archery]: +30% damage to long-range troops, including crossbows, catapults and other long-range equipment, and activates the additional effect of archery 2, the amount of ammunition for archers, crossbowmen, and cavalry on your side. Increase by 10%.
If it were before, Xu Lai would have chosen advanced archery long ago. The 30% long-range damage would be a terrifying increase.
What's more, the additional effects attached to advanced archery are also good. The average level of the archers Xu Lai brought is level 6. Almost everyone carries 8 or 90 rounds of ammunition. 10% is nearly 10 rounds. arrows.
The horse archers will have a little less because they only have one quiver, but they still have 4 or 5 more arrows. Even if they move up a level, they may not necessarily have such a big improvement.
The only pity is that more ammunition cannot be provided for mages. After all, mages use spells and consume mana, although their long-range damage can also be enhanced by advanced archery.
But after experiencing these two large-scale battles, Xu Lai gave up advanced archery and chose master-level leadership instead.
Compared with advanced leadership skills, master-level leadership skills only increase morale by 2 points, which is not much, but the additional effects of leadership skills are extremely important.
Reduce morale and speed by 50%, which is really important in large-scale battles.
The larger the scale of the battle, the more difficult it is to decide the outcome in a short period of time, especially as time passes, everyone will feel hungry and tired, and the loss of morale is inevitable.
At this time, if there is a large-scale spell, or the advantage of long-range troops is used to cause a large-scale killing before the two sides engage the enemy, without this effect, the entire army may directly collapse.
Both of the two large-scale battles can be ended in a short time, and neither can be won by killing all the opponents.
In both battles, the morale of one side collapsed first and a large-scale retreat occurred, and then the other side won the victory.
After comprehensive consideration, Xu Lai still chose the master-level leadership technique. The war between humans and orcs has just begun and is far from over.
Not to mention anything else, this time in the stronghold camp, in addition to the nearly complete annihilation of the flying corps, Talosi and his trusted wolf cavalry escaped at least tens of thousands.
The rest of the orc warriors who escaped scatteredly, as well as the Cyclops whose losses were not large, and a small number of Behemoths and Behemoths.
These alone are already a huge force, not to mention that the orcs will have a steady stream of support from behind.
The Stone Fort was also in chaos, with broken troops and officers running around everywhere.
The battlefield was even more chaotic. After Xu Lai gathered his own horses and those of the Temple Knights, there were still hundreds of extra horses that came from nowhere.
Anyway, there was chaos now, so Xu Lai simply drove them all back to the Temple Knights' station. Even if someone came to find them, he asked them to negotiate with Pierce.
Because of Pierce's help, Xu Lai gained a lot from destroying the stronghold base camp, and the supply truck was full of wood.
There is no way, the stronghold is also short of stones. Although they are backed by the Pingfeng Mountains, they are short of labor, so it is more convenient to cut wood.
Destroying the base camp, Xu Lai could get a quarter of the supplies in return, but there was too much wood to hold, so Xu Lai had to reluctantly give up most of it. Compared with wood, stone is more difficult to collect and more precious on the grassland.
What's more, the stronghold base camp exploded two town-level castle hearts for him. With his own two, he can build a fortress at any time.
In fact, when Pierce and the others come back, Xu Lai plans to go back to Qingfeng Town and let Su Ya and the others build the fortress first. He has a lot of wood, stones and gold coins here.
Piling these things up here has no effect on him. Only by spending them can he improve his strength.
Pierce and the others will definitely not be able to come back in a short time, but Xu Lai doesn’t have much time to spare. As soon as he packed up the bodies of Tahan and others, an unexpected guest appeared in his big tent. outside.
Strictly speaking, it is not appropriate to say that he is a guest, because the other party is a member of the temple, and Xu Lai can only be counted as half at most.
“I am very sorry for your loss.”
After being promoted to Archangel, Ryan became much younger, but his appearance basically did not change much.
The two pairs of golden wings were folded up and covered in the relatively spacious robe.
Compared with before, there are two more golden rings on Ryan's wrist, where the sacred sword given by the God of War can be ejected at any time.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after becoming the archangel Ryan, Xu Lai always felt that there was a holy smell in him, which could help him calm down from his anger.
"I have discussed it with Mr. Pierce. I can ignore the others, but please help me resurrect Tahan."
This was the second time Xu Lai made this request, and this time he finally got a satisfactory answer.
“After this battle, His Majesty the God of War is very satisfied with us, and dozens more brothers have been promoted to Archangels.
Not counting Bishop Duer, we have mastered the resurrection technique. There are 80 archangels in total.
Fortunately, we do not need to be restricted by spell effects like those who recruit angels. Our spells come from our own penance and the gifts from the God of War.
Although the resurrection spell can still be released once a day, the upper limit of life that can be resurrected each time is much higher than those of recruiting angels. ”
Xu Lai finally had a smile on his face and said: "So, even the paladins and knights under my command can be resurrected?"
Lian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Of course. It's not that simple. After 24 hours, the soul of a living corpse will completely dissipate and the corpse will completely lose its vitality.
Moreover, the corpse cannot be placed in a space container, otherwise the other-dimensional space will be destroyed. Instantly kill all the vitality in the corpse.
You also know that it is not easy for the temple to cultivate a knight, so we need to leave the resurrection quota for today and tomorrow to the temple knights. >I came here just to ask for your opinion. After all, I promised you before.”
Xu Lai sighed and said: "I have already told Pierce, as long as we can save Tahan, just give up when others give up."
Lian bowed to Xu Lai and said softly: "Superfluous I won't say much nonsense. This battle with the stronghold camp is thanks to your presence. I would like to thank you personally.
And, if you are willing to wait, I can call you the day after tomorrow. Other archangels will hold another resurrection ceremony for you, but I'm afraid it will be carried out on the road."
Xu Lai was stunned and said: "Ah, does it mean that the body will be gone after 24 hours? Did it work? "
Ryan smiled: "That's for living people, and your subordinates are not living people.
And give it a try? Even if you fail, it's just a loss of mana. It's worth trying. "
Xu Lai said gratefully: "High Priest Lane, oh no, I should call you Archangel Lane. I am really grateful to you. "
Ryan smiled and said: "Your Excellency, Honorary Knight, please don't be grateful. I don't have much confidence.
Only in the records of the temple, there are indeed examples of success, but most of the attempts failed, and the probability is not high. "
Xu Lai also smiled and said: "It all depends on people. I did everything I could do. Even if I failed in the end, I wouldn't blame anyone. ”
Ryan nodded and said: "That's the truth. Let me take away the body of Knight Tahan first."
Xu Lai also bowed and thanked: "Please!"
Waiting for Ryan After leaving, Xu Lai recalled what Ryan said before and felt that the key to resurrection should be the soul and vitality.
Soul, as Ryan said, his subordinates are all recruited and have no minds, so there should be no so-called souls.
As for vitality, Xu Lai believes that the so-called extra-dimensional space should be similar to outer space or something, and there may be so-called radiation to kill all the cells in the human body.
Of course, in the world of magic, it seems unreasonable to apply scientific explanations.
But again, it all depends on man-made efforts. There are also records of success in the records of the temple.
Thinking of this, Xu Lai immediately shouted: "Dil!"
