#26 - Chapter 26: Vision of War

【The Lord skills you can currently learn are:】

【Craftsman Heritage (Common), Nurturer (Common), Gold Digger (Common), War Sight (Exclusive)】

Choose one out of four.

A total of four options appeared before Wu Wei.

The first three correspond to the three major basic categories that lords value most: "construction," "agriculture," and "mining."

These three are basic lord skills that every new lord can acquire when upgrading to a level-two lord.

And their attributes are to "permanently" increase the construction speed, crop maturity speed, and mining speed within their territory by five percent, respectively.

As for the last exclusive lord skill, it is a random exclusive lord skill that the system provides after upgrading, based on the lord's geographical location and racial characteristics.

Exclusive lord skills are likely to give lords skills that enhance the characteristics of their kindred, ranging from race reproduction speed to directly improving the combat power of the race.

However, in most cases, lords will not actively choose the exclusive lord skills given by the system in the early stages.

Because the number of races given by the system in the early stage is too monotonous, often only one.

The further into the mid-to-late stages of the lord era, the less likely it is that each lord will only govern one race.

In countless classic wars, joint armies composed of multiple races are the right choice.

The marine allied forces composed of the Naga race, merman, and merfolk, the tribal allied forces composed of orcs, trolls, and minotaur, and the dragon knight legions that can rule the entire sky are all armies formed after the union of multiple races.

Even most legendary lords do not have overly dominant main races in their territories.

Each race will serve its lord in its respective areas of expertise.

Therefore, in most cases, those lords who have just advanced will not choose the exclusive lord skills given by the system too early, but will focus on the first three basic lord skills.

But Wu Wei is an exception.

Not only does he not have any plans to continue developing his territory, but in his own judgment, the resource output in his territory is also very unstable.

Having just occupied Manstone Town, he is currently in a state of draining the pond to get all the fish.

The demons he possesses are a group of very powerful warriors, but they are not so qualified in terms of acquiring resources.

The only beings that can stably provide Wu Wei with resource output are precisely the demon slaves captured by the demons.

So, in Wu Wei's view, instead of wasting an opportunity to choose a lord skill to increase the already unstable territory output, it is better to choose an exclusive lord skill to increase the combat power of the demon race, so that they have the opportunity to capture more demon slaves!

"The name of the exclusive lord skill is War Sight? I wonder what its effect is."

Wu Wei clicked on War Sight in the lord skill selection interface and obtained his first lord skill.

【You have learned a new lord skill - War Sight.】

【System loading...】

In the next second, Wu Wei suddenly felt a knife-like pain in his eyes, and then a large number of dark congealed gushed out from under his abyss throne, wrapped his eyes.

At the moment when these dark congealed poured in, Wu Wei felt his eyes disappear.

They were "eaten" by these dark congealed!

However, Wu Wei did not panic, because less than a second after this absurd and strange situation, he grew new eyes again.

Countless granulation grew wildly from his empty sockets, and finally mixed with a lot of blood to form Wu Wei's new eyes.

A pair of scarlet eyes with slender, snake-like pupils in the middle!

".."

When Wu Wei wiped the blood from the corners of his eyes and opened them again, he was silent.

Because the world he saw in his eyes was completely different from the past.

"This is, data?!"

【The highest point of the Abyss Hatchery is 4.74 meters, the lowest point... current remaining production time...】

When his gaze touched the Abyss Hatchery, all the detailed data of this building appeared in his eyes.

No, not just these seemingly unimportant architectural details.

When Wu Wei shifted his gaze to the various tasks being carried out near Manstone Town, the real "details" began to appear.

【The current forward speed of Squad 17 is 3.1 meters per second, and the distances between the warriors are 95 cm, 36 cm...】

【The current life value of the little demon being attacked by the demon overseer as food is 17 points. After the demon overseer eats him, he will gain 1.7 attribute points and 70 satiety points...】

【Laurent the demon is throwing the scimitar in his hand at the fleeing demon slave. The scimitar will hit the "fleeing demon slave" in 1.7 seconds...】

【The land in the west warehouse collapsed downward by 0.01 cm due to the vibration. Creatures are excavating ore vein nearby...】

【A little demon in Squad 85 can be promoted to a level-two little demon. The probability of its promotion is: ordinary level-two little demon 99.999, new imp matron 0.000000004, original blood demon 0.0000000...1!】

.....

Countless messy but real data completely replaced Wu Wei's former perspective.

Those data that were not displayed and loaded in the system became truly visible in Wu Wei's eyes.

【Loading complete!】

【You have obtained a new lord skill - War Sight.】

【War Sight: Passive skill, you can see your warriors and the surrounding environment more clearly with the help of the abyss.】

Unexpectedly, the exclusive lord skill Wu Wei obtained was not a skill that could directly enhance the warriors, but a skill that strengthens the lord himself.

This is very rare in the entire lord era.

Because most lords have their own professions, many lord skills will conflict with the lord's professional skills, so the system will often not continue to assign lord skills that can increase themselves.

"There is actually such a skill!"

Wu Wei looked at everything around him excitedly, although countless numbers made his head feel a little astringent and swollen.

But such a small price is not worth mentioning compared to what Wu Wei has gained.

Because with War Sight, he successfully transformed into something extremely terrifying.

Now, he can directly see every detail on the battlefield, and can most intuitively see all the changes in a war.

The wind direction in the sky, the changes in the earth, the dead warriors, the transfer of the battle lines....

Even the most tiny and imperceptible changes cannot escape his eyes.

Cannot escape, his eyes now....

The eyes of the abyss lord!
