Chapter 590: Thoughts on Recruiting Soldiers, Little Balrog
Zong Shen thought wildly for a while and then stopped for thirty seconds.
The surroundings have returned to normal, and Luna and Doris are arranging the arriving team.
The wolf cavalry were the fastest. When they arrived first, the shooters and mages were still behind. It looked like it would take several minutes to assemble.
However, now that the Balrog crusade has been cancelled, it is not necessarily necessary to use all the warriors in the territory.
Zong Shen was prepared to wait until a detailed announcement of the event appeared before deciding how to deploy his troops.
You may also need to consider dealing with other possible situations in the future.
In addition, no matter how this challenge event is changed, Luna will lead an advance team to the northern mountain forest to investigate the situation of the Goblin tribe in the early hours of tonight.
When the challenge is over, it will be time for Zong Shen to take action against the Goblin tribe.
Zong Shen stood there, watching Luna running back and forth on the Sentinel Black Panther, and couldn't help but think of the goblin conquest plan.
After killing the Goblin, the northern mountain forest will become his back garden, and the mountain forest itself is a treasure house.
Not only can it produce various medicinal herbs, but there are also a large number of wild beasts and magical beasts living in it.
The settlement ruins in the northern mountains and forests will also be included in Zong Shen’s exploration scope.
At the same time, it can be regarded as further eliminating hidden dangers in the area.
In addition to the above reasons, the Goblin tribe also has a [Elf Key] and a rune key to enter the Shadow Poison Assassin League. These are visible and direct benefits.
Zong Shen has been planning for a long time, and it's time to close the net.
He calmed down his thoughts, after all, Colby and Farvid were still kneeling in front of him.
He looked at Farvid and quickly checked the changes after he became a heroic talent.
[Hero: Farvid (Purple)]
[Qualification: Rare]
[Race: Human]
[Level: LV19]
[Experience value: 672319650]
[Hunger and satiety level: 78]
[Health value: 485]
[Magic value: 535]
[Domination value: 021]
【Strength: 19】
[Agility: 12]
【Wisdom: 56】
[Charm: 21]
[Remaining assignable attribute points: 0]
[Remaining allocable skill points: 4]
[Remaining assignable weapon proficiency: 0]
[Detailed attributes: (Click to expand)]
[Hero skills: (click to expand)]
[Lord level passive skills: (Click to expand)]
【Loyalty: 100】
Farvid's attributes are even higher than after Doris transformed into a hero.
Firstly, it was because his current level was six or seven levels higher than Doris at that time.
As a master of "dog hunting", he has been addicted to fighting since he obtained the [Killing Staff of Theseus (Purple)]. In order to accumulate as much killing value as possible, he is almost unwilling to miss any battle.
According to international practice, the first thing to check must be [Hero Skills].
This option represents the hero’s two talents.
From these two skills, you can infer the character and talent of the hero.
Zong Shen thought, and the list of [Hero Skills] was opened.
[Passive skill: Diligence can make up for weakness (each time the accumulated meditation training time reaches 1,000 hours, you will receive an attribute gain, wisdom will increase by 5 points, and charm will increase by 2 points)
Dual-purpose (can dual-wield a staff or any one-handed weapon, the attribute gain of dual-wielding equipment is only 50%)]
Favid's [Hero Skills] are more unique than Coulby's.
[Diligence can make up for weakness] can allow him to gain additional attribute gains after meditation practice.
However, it requires 1,000 hours of meditation to be triggered once. It is a talent skill with long-term potential.
The second skill [Dual Purpose] allows Favid to equip two staffs at the same time, but the equipped second staff can only enjoy a 50% attribute gain.
This is also a very good talent, which is equivalent to giving him additional weapon attribute gains.
It is true that people cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured.
With the addition of these two skills, Favid's training potential immediately increased a lot.
Immediately afterwards, Zong Shen turned on the [Lord Level Passive Skill].
There are blanks in the strength system, blanks in the agility system, and 3 points in the wisdom system [Item Management]. After counting the 20 built-in storage slots, it means that Favid's current storage slots have reached 38 slots. In addition, there are At 3 points [Healing], with Favid leading the team, team members will gain an additional 60% health recovery speed, and the following charm system will also be blank.
Favid still has 4 skill points to allocate. Zong Shen thinks that he can consider choosing some team-type skills in the wisdom system, which will help him lead the mage army.
However, he decided to leave the final decision to Favid himself.
"Everyone, get up."
"Go back to your respective teams and help Luna and the others form a team."
Zong Shen closed the attribute panel and said softly.
The two quickly stood up, bowed to Zong Shen again, and then slowly backed away.
On the same spot, Zong Shen did not move around. He just watched the soldiers gather together with the blood wolf Gugat, waiting for the announcement of the event.
…
Farvid was very excited.
He finally became a heroic talent in the territory.
This means that he will be on an equal footing with Doris, no, he will even have a higher position than Doris, and all this is thanks to the lord!
Doris was more gifted than he was.
The two of them are both fire mages, so Favid understands the difference between them even more.
Coupled with Doris's out-of-touch personality, she has an almost paranoid fanaticism for fighting.
In normal times, I rarely even look at Farvid with a straight eye.
For her, Farvid was too weak.
However, during this period of time, not only was the territory developing at a rapid pace, but Favid himself was also maintaining an astonishing rate of progress.
And this speed of progress is almost miraculous to him.
The Lord has indeed given him a greater future as promised.
"This time, I want to witness the change of dimensions."
"You are the hot flame, and I am the spark that rises and falls with you."
Farvid couldn't help but think in his heart.
As a recruiter, he had been unable to control himself since he was banned.
At least now, he met a lord worth trusting.
At this time, Doris in front led the mage team into the arena.
While turning around, he smiled kindly at Farvid.
"This seems to be the first time she smiled at me, right?"
Farvid's heart felt hot and he couldn't help but clenched his fists.
To him, this smile meant recognition.
This immediately filled his heart with a sense of accomplishment.
…
Compared with Farvid's excitement, Colby is much calmer.
The recruitment of fighters does not come from the same point in time.
The time span of the mysterious ban reached thousands of years.
The Wild Wolf tribe that once roamed the eastern part of the continent had long been destroyed in the Kingdom War.
Instead, these recruited warriors became the only inheritance.
When he signed the recruitment contract, he had already begun waiting for the day when he would reappear.
From the contract, Colby learned the secrets about the world.
Epochs continue to reincarnate, and life continues to come and go.
The fruits of the last era will fall to the ground and take root in this era.
But the only one who can taste the fruit is the Lord, who is the chosen one.
The relationship between them and the lord is one of mutual prosperity and mutual loss.
Even if the lord abused them, insulted them, and tortured them, they were unable to resist due to the "shackles" of loyalty.
It is also a blessing to follow a good lord.
The lord's achievement ceiling determines their ceiling for this era.
As time goes by, as long as you can survive, you will be reborn!
Colby knows this.
He doesn't actually feel that he stands out.
For a qualified prairie warrior, loyalty is their bottom line.
Even without the control of "shackles", he will protect his oath.
There is an ancient saying from the Wild Wolf Tribe: The vast grasslands can reveal the endurance of horses, and only strong warriors can abide by the true meaning of loyalty.
Despite Colby's dull personality, he rarely takes the initiative to speak.
But he is very wise at heart.
He rode an even bigger fourth-level tusked giant wolf and silently returned to the wolf cavalry team.
The fourth-level giant wolf is one head taller than the second-level giant wolf.
This gave Colby a condescending air.
The great commander of the Wolf Riders lives up to his name.
"Everyone arrange in small groups!"
"The Lord is watching us."
He said loudly, and all the Wolf Cavalry immediately began to adjust their positions again spontaneously.
Military appearance represents military discipline.
As long as the military discipline is excellent, the combat effectiveness is often not much different!
…
Zong Shen watched the performance of the two people silently.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised. In a territory full of vitality, he was not the only one who gained and grew.
No matter what, they share a destiny with themselves.
"My glory can illuminate the territory."
He sighed softly.
Just then, the five minutes are up.
A new announcement appeared before him.
[Challenge activity officially starts]
[Each lord will receive a special Balrog Treasure Box]
[This Balrog Treasure Box cannot be opened before the end of the event]
[At the same time, 100,000 little Balrogs with level LV35 and captain level will be randomly dropped in each area. If you kill the little Balrogs, you can get 50 challenge points and corresponding experience points, and you will also get a Balrog key. 】
[2 Balrog Keys can be exchanged for one Black Iron Key]
[10 Balrog keys can be exchanged for one bronze key]
[50 Balrog Keys can be exchanged for one Silver Key]
[250 Balrog Keys can be exchanged for one golden key]
[1250 Balrog Keys can be exchanged for a platinum key]
[The key can only be redeemed once, and the level of the redeemed key will determine the reward level of the special Balrog chest]
[The remaining Balrog keys will be recycled according to the standard of 20 points]
[All lords can only launch effective attacks on the small Balrogs in their area]
[Survival points will be reduced to 15 points per hour, and no points will be deducted for casualties]
[This challenge will end at 12:00 tomorrow, and the points redemption mall will be opened at that time]
[The little Balrog will be refreshed in the area in 5 minutes]
This time the announcement was not accompanied by a timeout.
The announcement rules are also very long.
To put it simply, this time there is another way of "playing".
All lords get a special treasure chest.
There will be 100,000 little Balrogs appearing in each area, and you can gain experience points and points by killing the little Balrogs.
In addition, there is also the most critical item in this challenge event, the "Balrog Key".
Balrog keys can be exchanged for treasure chest level keys.
The key finally redeemed determines the grade of the special treasure chest.
You only need to consume 1,250 keys to exchange for a platinum key and open a platinum treasure chest.
This should be an advanced treasure chest one level higher than the gold treasure chest.
If nothing else, the platinum chest will be able to unlock epic items.
As for the remaining Balrog keys, they can also be exchanged for points.
A handful of 50 points is equivalent to each little Balrog contributing 150 points.
Taken together, excluding the redemption of treasure chest keys, the points value of these 100,000 little Balrogs reaches 7 million points. It is no wonder that each lord's basic survival points at this stage will be reduced.
Because judging from the total value of points, the benefits of killing the Little Balrog are still huge.
Even for salted fish lords and ordinary lords, the benefits are greater than during the Balrog crusade.
Those high-end lords have more advantages in crusade.
The challenge activities have been changed and become more suitable for ordinary lords.
This is a disguised suppression of "high-end players" like Zong Shen.
Zong Shen had wiped out all the wool in the lord system before, so it is normal for such adjustments to occur now.
As the announcement slowly faded away, a countdown with more than three minutes left appeared in front of each lord.
After the countdown ends, the little Balrog will be released.
To deal with such a small-scale extermination battle, you have to refer to the tactics used to deal with the winter snow monster during the winter challenge.
If you want to maximize benefits, you must divide your forces.
The LV35 captain level monster is not that strong.
A rough estimate can be made by referring to the captain-level griffins of the same level.
There is no shortage of manpower in the territory now. In addition to the garrison instigated to the mine, there are also a large number of soldiers on standby in the territory.
So now it can be divided into combat teams.
Disperse all the troops, form a temporary team of 12 to 15 people, combine warriors of all levels, and take the initiative to leave the territory to find and kill those little Balrogs.
Even if they meet other lords, as long as they face other people's defense towers, such a team is strong enough to protect themselves.
The legion lords near the territory have almost moved.
The total number of 100,000 little Balrogs is quite large, so he does not need to use the strategy module to navigate for everyone.
Directly use the method of grouping into teams to eliminate the small Balrogs in the area.
Zong Shen only has a small goal in this challenge, which is to open a platinum treasure chest to suppress the shock!
I hope the little Balrog will not be ignorant of good and evil.
After the detachment takes action, it is equivalent to the territory extending out "tentacles" to the outside world.
It can greatly increase the speed of destruction.
In order to deal with emergencies, there is currently a small group of fourth-level immortal lancers, a small group of lion guard knights and lion charge knights in the territory, which will follow several combat heroes respectively.
Responsible for fixing several directions in the patrol territory.
While exterminating the little Balrogs, we must also protect the temporary teams operating in these directions.
The mobility and combat effectiveness of high-level cavalry cannot be underestimated. If a group of Lion Guard Knights had not just been transferred to the mine today, there would have been even more mobile troops in the territory.
As for the Wolf Cavalry, their mobility is naturally good, but their level is too low and they have no single advantage, making it difficult to support the overall situation in squad-level operations.
Finally, Zong Shen himself rode a flying tiger and took the blood wolf Gujiat on a large-scale parade.
In addition to being responsible for exterminating the little Balrogs as usual, the more important task is still to protect the temporary team.
Sending out a temporary team can indeed greatly improve the efficiency of killing the little Balrog.
But it also means that the force is thinned.
And you are bound to meet other lords when you go out.
Perhaps most of the lords would choose to retreat due to the name Zong Shen.
But after seeing him in person, it is not ruled out that Lord Lengtouqing will choose to eliminate the temporary team he sent.
It is irrational at any time to overestimate one's own fame or underestimate human greed.
Every battle is his baby bump.
Even if it is a small probability risk, he should try his best to avoid it.
Thinking of this, he immediately called over Luna, Doris, Colby, and Favid who were forming the team.
Inform them of the temporary squad formation and tour plans.
Let them start making arrangements immediately, and strive to have the soldiers start dispatching within half an hour.
Coordination and team building take time.
Fortunately, the crossbow shooters, wolf cavalry and the Master's troops have all gathered.
Now all it takes is for Doris to drive the loader mecha to summon all the high-level cavalry and infantry warriors.
Feihu is resting in the farming and pastoral area.
Just inform before departure.
Blood Wolf Gugat was still standing behind Zong Shen, silently observing everyone.
Zong Shen still has six unused recruitment scrolls on hand.
Just take advantage of the gap before the expedition to recruit.
New soldiers require no training and can start working immediately.
Join a temporary team on the spot and participate in the battle to exterminate the little Balrogs.
Fighting is the best way to promote feelings and build relationships.
It also allows these newcomers to quickly integrate into the territory and understand the conditions of the territory.
The recruitment rolls in hand are divided into four dark night recruitment rolls, one wolf cavalry recruitment roll and one special God's Favorite recruitment roll.
In order to save time, Zong Shen took out six recruitment coupons at the same time and chose to use them immediately.
Each recruitment scroll leaped up with a different light and landed on the open space in front of him.
Among them, the recruitment scroll for God's Favored Ones is the most eye-catching.
This recruitment scroll exuded a gray-black light, with faint green flames rising from the surface.
An astonishing cocoon of light formed on the ground.
The green flame on the surface looks somewhat similar to the devil's sacrificial fire.
Zong Shen looked at the vision it emitted and felt a little puzzled.
"Is he a demon-favored person?"
He thought about it secretly in his heart.
The flames rising outside the light cocoon burned the air and made a "pop" sound.
Even the light and shadow above were slightly distorted, indicating that the flames were not just fake.
This momentum even surpassed the scene during the recruitment of the Wind God's Favored Ones!
