Chapter 222 Advancement and Upgrading
“Discover soldiers who can be upgraded:
1. At the cost of 200 gold coins, a level 4 griffon can be upgraded to a level 5 combat griffon.
2. At the cost of 1,200 gold coins, 3 level 5 combat griffins can be upgraded to level 6 royal griffins.
3. At the cost of 9,600 gold coins, 12 level 5 knight retinues can be upgraded to level 6 knights. br>
4. Spend 6,000 gold coins, and 3 level 6 knights can be upgraded to level 7 paladins; or consume 4,800 gold coins, and 3 level 6 knights can be upgraded to level 7 great knights. ”
Experience and combat effectiveness are directly proportional. There are a total of 500 units of level 6 wolf cavalry, and most of them are more elite professional wolf cavalry and level 7 wolf warriors.
A An orc hero with many treasures and whose level is definitely not too low.
If such an elite wolf cavalry were to attack wild monsters, tens of thousands of level 3 and 4 wild monsters would gather together. They may not win.
Xu Lai once again ruled out the option of the Great Knight. Even if they still have the opportunity to advance, the Great Knight's combat ability is still a little worse than that of the Paladin.
Moreover, no force has ever been able to recruit fearless knights in the empire. The reason cannot be due to lack of experience.
According to Xu Lai's information, there are three ultimate professions in the entire human camp.
They are the God of Law in the Tower, the Pope of the Empire, and the ultimate knight shared by the two camps, the Fearless Knight.
They all have one characteristic, that is, they have a unique label in front of their title.
Xu Lai still doesn't know how to define this unique. He only knows that Tahan has been advancing to the heroic knight for such a long time, and there is no sign of advancement at all.
The huge amount of experience not only allowed the knights under his command to advance, but Xu Lai's constantly rolling experience bar was finally full and upgraded by one level.
After upgrading this level, Xu Lai's level was raised to level 20. He has experienced a total of 19 upgrades, and his health value has increased by 5 points again, now reaching 376 points.
Unfortunately, the points for this upgrade were automatically added to intelligence. This also allowed Xu Lai, who had just visited the Garden of Truth, to increase his intelligence to 19 points and his spirit to 22 points after changing to the Dragon Tooth Necklace. .
The 5% damage of the Assault Necklace should provide more damage than the 5-point basic attack of the Dragon Fang Necklace.
But the former is the final bonus to arm strength, while the 5-point basic attack is the basic data, and can also be bonused by specializations such as offensive skills and archery.
In this case, the gap is not that big, not to mention the 4 points of constitution and 4 points of spirit that come with the Dragon Tooth Necklace, which is quite tempting.
At least Xu Lai's health points, which were 338 before he came, were increased to 376 because of the Marit Tower and the Dragon Tooth Necklace. Not counting the 5 points upgraded, there was still an increase of 33 points.
Of course, none of these can compare with the life amulet. One of these things can increase life by 150 points, which greatly increases Xu Lai's sense of security.
However, Xu Lai could only carry 5 pieces of miscellaneous items in total, and the space was a bit insufficient.
A gold box and an Abel crystal occupy two positions.
The Able Crystal was thrown away at home, so the current miscellaneous column only has the gold box and a location locked by the sacred blood bottle.
The sacred blood bottle must not be thrown away. The lucky clover is also a good thing, and Xu Lai took it with him.
He once used flame rays to instantly kill a horse thief leader, and he himself was also set on fire, so Xu Lai chose to carry a magic shield amulet.
In the last position, Xu Lai hesitated between the life amulet and the dodge amulet, and finally chose the dodge amulet.
But he also brought the life amulet with him. After all, if you put it on the gold box in time before going to bed at night, you will get gold coins. In normal times, you can choose to have 150 more health points.
It's a pity that these 150 health points are not basic health and cannot be increased by the sacred blood bottle.
But Xu Lai is also satisfied. With these 150 points, he has more than 500 health points, which is not much less than that of the orc heroes equipped with savage armor.
Xu Lai will definitely not change the barbaric armor, although Xu Lai quite likes the effect of this equipment.
But Xu Lai got the Blade of Destruction from the orc hero, and kept his Mithril-modified Mithril sword as a spare weapon.
As a one-handed weapon, the Blade of Destruction's damage is already comparable to high-end long poles or two-handed weapons. Of course, it also depends on luck. The damage of this knife fluctuates greatly.
In addition, there is also a corrosion effect. With Xu Lai's Behemoth Killer, he can also be used as a little Behemoth himself.
The Noble Ring has good attributes, adding 3 to all attributes, which is much more than the Crown of Dragon Teeth.
The key is that this thing is just a small iron ring, with a lot of added attributes and no head defense at all.
If this were to happen on the battlefield, and Xu Lai was accidentally shot in the head, he would have no defense except for the 26 points of armor brought by his physique.
Therefore, after comprehensive choices, Xu Lai finally gave up the noble ring.
As for the specialization improvements brought about by upgrading, there are two specializations this time, one is intermediate earth magic, and the other is advanced archery.
Xu Lai also had two earth spells at this time, but he still chose to obtain advanced archery without hesitation.
[Advanced Archery]: +30% damage to long-range troops, including long-range equipment such as ballistas and catapults. (Note: The melee effect of long-range soldiers will not increase)
Activate special effect 2. The ammunition amount of your own archers, crossbowmen, and horse archers will increase by 10%.
Advanced Archery appeared last time, but between Advanced Archery and Master Leadership, Xu Lai chose Master Leadership. This time, what he actually hopes to see is the ultimate leadership technique, or a master-level offensive technique.
Now he has a total of 12 long-range troops. The cost-effectiveness of upgrading the level 1 archery skill is much lower than upgrading the level 1 offensive skill.
But unfortunately, Xu Lai did not have the right to make his own choice.
A total of 17,000 gold coins were spent to upgrade the soldiers. Xu Lai did not think it was too much, he just felt that there were too few places to spend gold coins now.
When leaving the town, Xu Lai left 10,000 gold coins for Harris and others, asking them to make good use of the only blacksmith shop in the town.
War is imminent, even if the houses in the city are demolished, a few more catapults and ballistae must be built.
The longer they persisted in the city, the more casualties Xu Lai caused on the periphery, and the slimmer the enemy's hope of capturing the town became.
The wild land originally had few resources, and Xu Lai did not believe that the orcs could fight on three or even four fronts.
Therefore, he concluded that the orcs would not be able to hold on for too long. Once the orcs' attack was repelled, the hard workers in the small town would have a very long period of respite.
If there is a chance, Xu Lai can raid a few more orc mines and rescue more prisoners, maybe he can really seize the orc territory.
Of course, the premise is that the orcs want to start a large-scale war with the fortress and have no time to worry about this small conflict on the edge of the wilderness.
Xu Lai spent a long time talking to others and finally convinced them that he did not want to leave them, otherwise he would not even come back.
He even threw the corpse of the orc hero he had collected to them.
Xu Lai's habit of collecting all kinds of good things finally convinced them that he, Xu Lai, had not abandoned them.
In fact, at this time, Xu Lai wanted to leave and let them do whatever they wanted.
However, with the presence of this small town, it can draw a lot of troops and energy from the orcs, so Xu Lai could only endure his displeasure and comfort them.
Xu Lai finally set up his camp on the quarry. It was a high place and could clearly see the movement at the foot of the mountain.
Secondly, there are many armed cavemen here. If this can attract some orc troops to attack, it can also reduce the burden on the town.
After setting up camp, it was already late, and Xu Lai managed to sleep for three hours before having to get up again.
Compared to Xu Lai, others had less rest time. Tahan, who was responsible for the night watch, stayed up for the entire second half of the night.
After washing his face with cold water luxuriously and clearing his mind, Xu Lai asked Elvi:
"How is the situation now?"
Elvi said: "A I just went to investigate a few hours ago, and the ogres and the orc army in Kuba City have all started.
They will appear near the town in about half an hour to an hour. "
Xu Lai nodded and asked Yan Feng: "How is the recovery of your troops over there?"
Yan Feng nodded confidently and said: "The arrows were not wasted yesterday. After three hours of recovery, the quiver is basically full. If there is another hour, everything will be back to normal."
Xu Looking at Tahan, Tahan consciously reported: "The knights have all recovered, and the knights' retinues have also recovered their combat effectiveness."
"The combat effectiveness has been restored? How much has been restored?"
Tahan said: "The health value is generally healthy, basically around 80%, and the equipment has been repaired, but the durability of the shield is still relatively low."
"Then let them continue to rest and wait until the enemy comes. .”
The three hours of rest did not bring Xu Lai's mental state to its best, but it also had little impact on his mind.
With the intermediate eagle eye skills and the condescending position, he could already see the troops coming from Kuba City from a distance.
Because we are viewing from a distance, we cannot see too clearly, but generally speaking, they should all be ogres, and there are no long-range troops such as mages or orcs.
In fact, you are not afraid of Orcs. The range of ordinary Orcs is too short. To pose a threat to the defense personnel on the city wall, you must be at least a level 4 Orc ax thrower.
There are not many long-range troops in Kuba City to begin with. Yan Feng and the others killed a lot of them at the beginning. If they want to leave some people to defend the city, they won't be able to bring many out even if they think about it.
The ogre warriors are certainly very powerful, but with the wall blocking them, no matter how powerful the ogre warriors are, they have no use.
And Xu Lai did not see any siege equipment from the ogre team, so as long as the city gate was not breached, the threat along the way was not great.
The biggest threat to the town comes from the orc team.
It's a pity that Xu Lai can't fly, otherwise he would really like to fly over and have a look.
One of the griffons under his command has grown into a sixth-level royal griffon.
In the empire, level 6 royal griffons can already be used as messengers, but that doesn't happen overnight.
Even if Xu Lai can completely control these royal griffins, he will not try to fly rashly. He must make all preparations.
