Chapter 157 Battlefield Simulation
In addition to the Witch Forest, there are other secret societies, and some unknown wizards are also real.
Those secret societies are either hidden in the mountains or in the big cities.
The bizarre rumors undoubtedly add a lot of mystery to the secret organizations.
Roman has heard rumors about some societies.
For example. Some can turn stones into gold, some can turn people into stone, some hermits worship demons, and some monk societies that believe in gods but are regarded as heretics by the Church.
Among them, the Kingdom of Cang Yue has the most societies and schools.
The atmosphere of legend is particularly strong.
That mountain country not only has wizards and societies, but also monsters, demons... and demon hunters, which are widely known throughout the land.
The one who rules there is the Queen of Cang Yue, the former Scarlet Lady, the legendary vampire, but she has ascended the throne in that cursed land with a solid foundation.
This is also a strange thing in the seven countries.
But there are too many strange things on earth.
Roman couldn't let his two little witches go to Cang Yue Kingdom to learn witches' spells.
On the one hand, they had no connections, and on the other hand, there was a real curse on that land.
On weekdays, normal farmers sometimes grew wolf hair on the full moon night, ran to the cliff to look at the moon and howled;
Children disappeared in the mountains, and it was rumored that they were sacrificed to the devil;
Fairies and ghost birds transformed into beautiful girls to lure ignorant pedestrians and do evil things to them.
The king and the church of Sinnoh tried to destroy Cang Yue, but they were powerless, and the knights could not play their best in the mountains.
For these two little witches, Roman thought that they should not be rushed.
Training is a relatively long process.
He thought about adding points to the two and improving their panel attributes, but they were too young, and Roman didn't have many resources, so he needed to use them sparingly.
After dinner, Roman returned to his room.
In the most spacious bedroom in Origin Manor, the maids hung five oil lamps on the wall, illuminating the entire room.
Roman sat in front of the desk, opened the drawer, and took out all the gems.
Some were pink, some were as bright as blood, some were crystal clear, and some were bright red with a hint of purple.
There were six gems in total, of different sizes and weights. The small gems were worth one or two gold coins, and the large gems were worth five or six gold coins. The quality was not high.
But they were basically all red gems.
This was the mining income for the entire winter, and the rest of the gems were all consumed by Roman.
There was not a single blue gem or green gem left.
Any gem can improve the skills of the apostles.
After verification, Roman found that the improvement of blue gems was the greatest.
He was at the upstream of knowledge, and with the power of gems, he gathered that knowledge into a stream and flowed it into the soul of the apostle.
But this stream would be interrupted and consumed.
Because of the color and quality of the gems, the speed of knowledge flow was also different.
The absorption rate of blue gems is undoubtedly the highest, and it is twice the result with half the effort.
But it does not mean that other resources are useless.
Red gems are also very useful in other ways.
…
[Current level: 0-1 (cleared)]
[Do you want to enter the battlefield simulation? ]
“Yes!”
Roman consumed the smallest ruby and exchanged it for three simulation coupons. The same volume of sapphire can only be exchanged for one.
…
[One simulation coupon can carry 12 apostles, please select the number of simulation coupons]
…
It was his first attempt. After thinking for a moment, he only used one simulation coupon to see the effect.
He also selected eight familiar soldier apostles and four newly recruited apostles from the apostle interface.
Roman saw that there were three flags on the level progress bar, representing three waves of battles.
The first one was the mindless charge of the knights to the shield formation;
The second one was the battle between Aaron and Green leading 200 lightly armed soldiers to raid Puton Village and Baron Crow's conscripted army;
The third one was the battle between 100 archers intercepting the cavalry and the conscripted army, with the most tragic casualties.
…
[Start action]
…
The thick fog blocked Roman's sight.
When the fog cleared, Roman found him hiding under a heavy shield.
The 12 apostles were also like this, with stiff expressions, like puppets. Judging from their positions, they should have replaced the original heavy-armored soldiers.
The ground shook, and the knights rushed over.
But the battle ended quickly. Roman and the other apostles were replaced by heavy-armored soldiers. Everything happened just as it happened at that time, and there was no chance to intervene.
Facing the heavy-armored defense line, the knights were thrown to the ground.
Soon, thick fog swept in out of thin air.
...
The next time, they appeared in the light-armored troops led by Aaron and Green, confronting Baron Crow's conscripted army dozens of meters away.
Roman saw Baron Crow for the first time, who was hanged by his order.
But he was more concerned about the next close combat.
He turned to look at a newly recruited apostle and asked, "Who are you?"
"Destiny! I am your apostle, currently without a code name, my name is Ed Rogers!"
The one-star apostle answered stiffly and mechanically.
"What are we doing here?"
"Do what you tell us to do!"
"Very good!!"
Roman drew his scimitar and pointed it at the recruits who were rushing over, "Follow me and kill!"
They took a step forward and were one step ahead of everyone else to meet the enemy.
Roman confirmed that the simulated body was the same as the real one by swinging his knife and clenching his fist. He led the charge into the enemy camp and quickly killed two conscripts. The blood splashed on their necks, which felt very real.
After only a few dozen seconds, the battle was over.
Thick fog gushed out in the blink of an eye.
…
This time, Roman appeared in the longbow formation with the only seven remaining apostles. Each of them was injured. Other apostles had died in the last battle.
“Free fire!” someone ordered.
Roman bent his bow and shot arrows. The other apostles also pretended to shoot. However, they had never practiced archery and their movements were not good. One apostle even accidentally injured the friendly soldiers next to him. God knows how he did it.
Among the six people, only Roman caused effective casualties.
Here they come!
The horses’ hooves rumbled, and the knights in front rushed in like sharp knives.
The longbowmen looked terrified, as did the apostles brought by Roman. Their legs trembled, their movements were stiff, and they subconsciously fled.
The war knights carried a huge impact force, equivalent to a tank running head-on at a speed of 50 to 60 kilometers per hour. Anyone would want to avoid it.
Some people, facing a crisis, instinctively move faster than thinking, while others would become stiff and unable to move.
Not to mention the apostles and longbowmen.
Even Roman was charged by a knight for the first time. It was like a thunderbolt, smashing all the obstacles in front of him, whizzing past him, and raising a gust of wind.
Boom!
Roman only felt his face twitching and took a deep breath.
This was much more exciting than a car accident.
His two apostles were the first to be hit, and they were killed before they could say a word.
Roman knew the result, and at this time he began to admire his soldiers for overcoming their fear and launching a counterattack.
...
The so-called battlefield simulation.
It means being able to take other apostles to experience the battles they had in the past.
