“Congratulations on your upgrade!”
“Congratulations on learning a new skill: Logistics (Elementary).”
Richard
Level: 15
Strength: 31.2
Physique: 28.6
Agility: 30.1
Spirit: 11.8
Talent: Dominance
Skills: Beast’s Breathing Technique (Grandmaster – cannot be upgraded), Sun Air Entrainment Technique (intermediate level), Offensive Technique (Advanced Level), Defense Technique (Intermediate Level), Logistics Technique (Elementary Level).
Available skill points: 3
After reaching level 15, not only various attributes have been improved, but also a new basic skill has been acquired.
And this time there are two skills that can be upgraded, one is logistics and the other is defense. After thinking about it, Richard decided to use three skill points on defense. Although intermediate defense to advanced defense There is only a 5% improvement, but it is already a considerable improvement when accumulated on so many system soldiers. At least some squishy units will not be killed directly in battle so easily.
As for Logistics, although this skill is a magical skill, it is enough for the elementary level at present. The elementary Logistics can increase the movement speed by 10%, and it can be used with the two treasures of Divine Walking Boots and Knight Gloves. As a result, the speed of the system army led by Richard has basically reached an unreasonable level. Although increasing the speed is also useful, it is more reliable to increase the defense.
Look at the treasures obtained this time. Needless to say, the first effect of the Giant Ring is that it is not too powerful to directly summon a giant to join the battle. In addition to not being able to fly, this thing can stand up to a green dragon. Even if Even if you can’t beat it, it won’t be too bad,
Moreover, it is a summoned object that can be made at will, and can be used to death. The dragon knights of the kingdom have to discuss it before commanding the dragon. The dragon will refuse a combat mission that is too dangerous, which is impossible. He tried his best, but unfortunately the cooldown time was a little long, so he could only summon it once a month, Richard thought quite unsatisfied.
As for the second effect of the Giant Ring, it directly obtains all the power of a giant. It seems powerful, but in fact it may not be as beautiful as imagined. After all, it only talks about power, not strength,
Richard’s current strength is in his early thirties, and Richard estimates that the strength of a giant should be between thirty-five and forty, which is stronger than Richard, a monster-level earth knight. How many points?
The addition of strength to combat effectiveness is unquestionable. After all, many techniques are ineffective in the face of absolute strength.
But this sudden increase in strength will more than double, let alone whether Richard can adapt to it. Having only strength without suitable body shape and weapons will greatly reduce the effect of this bonus, but it is always a good thing. At least if it is used suddenly in a duel, it will definitely be of great help to the battle.
“New mission: Shadow of the Orcs.”
Task description: For some reason, the orcs who have been resisted east of Longxing Pass have traces of activities in the North. In order to prevent this group of orcs from causing greater harm, find them and eliminate them…
The new mission made Richard nervous. Sometimes the missions issued by the Congress were not as simple as missions. They could also be seen as a way to obtain intelligence. Just like the matter of the orcs, Richard thought that the orcs were eating After the defeat of the human demons, they should become extinct. The mission of the Congress clearly told him that there were still orcs in the North.
Thinking of this, Richard felt slightly chilly. The orc warriors who appeared last time were suspected to have earth-level strength. For example, in the Demon Suppression City, Richard left an earth-level poisonous scorpion lion to guard the city lord’s palace, but in Ironwood City Now that I think about it, this place of fortune only has the combat power of a great knight like Viscount Sauter.
If the earth-level orcs sneak into the city and cause mischief, they are likely to cause unimaginable harm to the Hunter family. Richard secretly made up his mind to immediately strengthen the defense force of Ironwood Fort,
Then we will strengthen inspections in each city, and let Nightingale and Yusi step up their investigations at the same time to find the orcs who may have sneaked into the North.
After accepting the new mission, Richard wore the Giant Ring and left the Congress Hall. Fortunately, there is no summoner profession on this continent. Otherwise, how could Richard be a top summoner with his current summoning ability? The title of teacher.
“My lord!”
Richard, who had just walked out of the Congress Hall, felt a chill for no reason. When he raised his eyes, he saw a half-crouching blue-white giant,
This should be the Frost Giant rewarded in this mission. It is indeed worthy of the name Frost Giant. As soon as Richard got closer, he could feel the cold air coming from the opponent’s body.
The frost giant is slightly shorter than the previous giants, about nine meters tall, which is about the same as a barbarian. However, except for the color, its appearance is similar to that of the giant. It wears the same helmet and battle skirt, but the colors are slightly different. , the short spear in his hand also changed from golden to light blue.
Frost Giant: A biological weapon created by mages based on the snowfield environment. It can exert its greatest strength in the snowfield environment.
Skill 1: Fist of Frost (passive), the frost giant can cause frostbite to the enemy during its attack.
Skill 2: Ice Armor (Active), the Frost Giant can condense ice armor to block enemy attacks during battle. (Mana consumption: 10)
Compared with giants, frost giants are weaker in physical strength, but they have a little magic ability. With a stable supply of magic crystals, the frost giants’ combat power is basically the same as that of giants.
Afterwards, Richard will recruit the new troops generated this week and prepare to return to Ironwood City first,
This time he recruited a champion knight, several high-level monks, crusaders and other low-level troops. At present, Richard has no shortage of these combat forces. He plans to leave the champion knight and others in Ironwood City. This is a guarantee, so that even if the orc elites infiltrate Ironwood Castle, they can still resist it to some extent, and there will be no major problems.
…
Ironwood City
As Richard’s status continues to improve, the development of Ironwood City has also entered the fast lane. The small town that originally had a population of more than 10,000 people now has tens of thousands of residents, and the streets are quite prosperous and even a little crowded. feeling,
Fortunately, Richard’s ambitions when he built the city were not small. There was originally a lot of room left. Accommodating tens of thousands of residents was not a problem. The main streets were wide, the city facilities were complete, and the area planning was quite perfect compared to other cities in the world. , even though the number of residents now exceeds the standard, it is still large but not chaotic.
Unfortunately, the geographical location of Ironwood City is really not ideal. It is still too far north, close to Ironwood Forest. It is mainly used as a transit place for timber and mountain goods trading. The surrounding population is not dense. At that time, this area was also There are only two nobles, the Hunter family and the Will family. The combined population of all the villages and towns in the two territories is more than 100,000. Coupled with the recently attracted civilians and half-elves, the population of the place where Richard first made his fortune is also There are less than 200,000 people, and most of them still live in villages. The development of Ironwood City to this extent has reached its limit.
This is also the reason why Richard has now shifted his development focus to Zhenmo City. Compared with Ironwood City, Zhenmo City has a larger area, a larger surrounding population, convenient transportation, and is further away from Piaoxue City and the river valley. Recently, the development potential is higher than that of Ironwood City.
However, although Richard’s focus has now shifted to Demon Suppression City, the base camp of Richard’s force is still Ironwood City. After all, the core officers, the earliest elite soldiers, and officials are all from Ironwood City. To mark this Watering down will take at least several years.
“Master Richard!”
“Lord Richard!”
“Your Majesty the Marquis!”
Richard led people walking on the main street of Ironwood City. Horses are not allowed to ride in Ironwood City, but they can ride normally. The iron hooves made a crisp sound when they stepped on the road paved with thick stone slabs. After the procession, the crisp sound of hoofbeats was actually somewhat pleasant to the ear.
Because the size of the frost giant is too terrifying, Richard will keep it in the Stone Castle for the time being to avoid bringing it to Ironwood City and causing unnecessary panic. Now he only has a champion knight and a monk crusader with him. wait.
The surrounding civilians cooperated and moved out of the way, and some old people who recognized Richard called Richard with different honorifics with some excitement. Richard also tried his best to nod to the crowd.
Although he no longer appears often in Ironwood City, the people of Ironwood City’s love for Richard has not weakened at all. On the contrary, as Richard’s strength and status continue to increase, he is increasingly regarded as the pride of Ironwood City. It’s all a feeling of pride.
“Master Richard is back!”
“Master Richard is back!”
“Call the Marquis!”
“The Marquis is back!”
“I don’t think calling him Lord Marquis is as affectionate as Young Master Richard.”
“…”
After passing through the main street of Ironwood City, Richard finally returned to Ironwood Castle.
