Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

The combination of lawful and rigid chivalry and the extreme pragmatism of the undead.

This ultimately led to Richardson's exceptionally neat style of doing things.

Zong Shen smiled at it, and he quite liked this attitude of neither servility nor overbearance, and never delaying things.

So he did not hesitate at all, and immediately took out the [Second Demon Heart (Radiant Level I)] he had obtained not long ago and handed it to Richardson.

The palms wearing chain gloves caught it steadily.

Zong Shen also briefly introduced the role of this Demon Heart.

"After integrating it, you will gain great benefits and enhancements."

"You should have relevant tips on how to use it specifically, so I won't go into details."

The Demon Heart can only allow the dark system to integrate.

Although Zong Shen has demonic power in his body, his power is still very pure when he has not transformed.

And as he had planned before, he did not intend to integrate the Demon Heart.

Compared with the current state, [Second Demon Heart] is of limited help to him.

It is far inferior to the attributes left by Illidan.

It would be better to use it to strengthen the people, after all, there will be many enemies who need legendary and above combat power.

"I understand, sir."

"I will fuse the magic heart immediately."

Richardson lowered his head, observed it for a while and replied.

Then, with Zong Shen's nod of affirmation, it immediately chose to fuse.

The [Second Magic Heart] in his hand turned into a thick black droplet, like a black line, along Richardson's arm armor to the neck seam between the armor and the helmet and penetrated into it.

In an instant, Richardson, who deliberately stood more than ten meters away, burst into black light all over his body.

These black lights even suppressed the sunlight within the range.

The inescapable light created a visual effect similar to a black hole, making it impossible to capture Richardson's position with the eyes, and his figure was completely obscured by darkness.

It took only two or three minutes before and after, and all the darkness was instantly gathered.

They completely shrank into Richardson's body and merged with it.

Then came the surging sound of heart pumping.

Richardson had been a dead spirit for many years and had long lost his heart.

Now that the [Second Demon Heart] has been integrated, he has an extra heart that represents the devil in his body.

It has also gradually transformed from an ordinary undead transformed by a demonic ritual to an abyss undead.

Every attack can be accompanied by the abyss power with a corrosive effect.

In addition, its all attributes can be improved by 800 points, its upper limit of health can be increased by 50,000 points, and it can obtain the transformation skill [Second Demon Form].

Richardson stood there without moving.

As a high-level undead, it is often surrounded by black mist.

At this moment, the black mist surrounding it is thicker than before, almost making its figure blurred.

The black mist condensed and did not disperse, and there was no loss.

Soon, Richardson raised his right arm slightly, and it seemed to be observing himself.

The lingering black mist also converged quickly like a tide, making it look clear again.

Zong Shen was also looking at its changes.

Compared with external observation, the values ​​on the attribute list are undoubtedly more intuitive.

[Hero: Lion Skeleton Knight Richardson]

[Qualification: Epic]

[Race: Undead/Skeleton/Immortal Knight Will]

[Level: LV56]

[Experience: 2149732/49233790]

[Hunger: None]

[Health: 90750/90750]

[Number of people controlled: 1274/1430]

[Strength: 1301]

[Agility: 896]

[Wisdom: 800]

[Charm: 930]

[Remaining allocable attribute points: 0]

[Remaining allocable skill points: 0]

[Detailed attributes: (click to expand)]

[Weapon proficiency: (click to expand)]

[Hero skills: (click to expand)]

[Lord-level passive skills: (click to expand)]

[Loyalty: 99 (special constant state)]

…

Its attributes reach the low to mid-level legendary level.

With skills such as [Fear Aura], you can have legendary combat power without transformation.

You should know that Richardson originally had the relatively powerful transformation skill [Fear Awakening·Ghost Rider State].

You can directly transform into a powerful Ghost Rider and greatly increase your combat power.

And now there is an additional [Second Magic Form].

The only drawback is that the effects of the two cannot be superimposed.

This is a limitation from [Second Magic Form].

On the contrary, [Fear Awakening·Ghost Rider State] has no limit.

It is a powerful ability accumulated by Richardson over the years.

It is equivalent to a talent-type active skill.

Therefore, the energy level is very high, and its priority is even higher than [Second Magic Form].

In addition, Richardson's regular attributes, including health points, have also been greatly improved.

Now it can be considered to be able to officially command the undead troops in the territory.

"Richardson, enter the second magic form state, let me see your changes."

Zong Shen directly ordered.

The cooldown time of [Second Demon Form] is as long as 72 hours, so it doesn't matter if I let it try it out for Zong Shen now.

After receiving the order, Richardson immediately activated the skill.

A dark and sticky liquid flowed out of its body.

The fluid forms a new head behind it.

It is also a skull and has the ability to perceive, because there is actually a ball of soul fire jumping inside the skull, but it is not red, but black.

After the new head appeared, two black arms facing backward appeared.

Each arm can be equipped.

Changes in form can greatly enhance Richardson's combat effectiveness, and equipping additional weapons or armor can bring additional improvements.

Finally, its total attributes and upper limit of health will be increased by 2.0 times and 1.5 times respectively.

His soaring combat power is enough for him to compete with ordinary legendary high-level opponents.

"good."

"Don't leave your arms empty either."

"When you return later, go to the equipment warehouse in the territory and pick out two weapons or shields that are handy."

Zong Shenyan commented concisely and comprehensively.

In the current territory, there is a sufficient inventory of equipment for levels below the Yaoguang level.

Richardson can choose the appropriate weapons on his own.

Both sixth- and seventh-level standard weapons can meet its needs.

However, due to the influence of the undead body, some standard equipment cannot fully exert its power.

For example, standard weapons with elven blessing inscriptions engraved on them.

There are also Holy Light type equipment.

This kind of equipment is not only useless, but will also be damaged.

On the spot, Richardson tried to control the arm behind him.

Whether it's the two extra arms or the head, it takes some getting used to.

Zong Shen himself is also equipped with a dark gold arm, which can theoretically use three pieces of holding equipment at the same time, so he is very aware of this advantage.

Of course, the second magic form is good, but after all, it has a clear time limit.

Unlike the dark gold arm, it can be used for a long time as long as it is assembled.

However, its skills as a transformation type are quite qualified.

Nodding slightly, Zong Shen raised his arm and waved it downward.

"Okay, that's a pretty good ability."

"I believe you can feel the changes in yourself."

"Now you are a true legend!"

Even in the last era, the legendary level was still considered high-end combat power.

Fully capable of commanding higher level knights.

You must know that the garrison commanders of many giant cities today have their own combat prowess at the legendary level.

There are not many giant cities with demigod-level powerhouses stationed there, and they are even far inferior to those regional powers.

The giant city is the second-level settlement within the kingdom.

Its specifications are not as high as everyone thinks.

Of course, as regional nodes, their location is extremely important.

Each giant city has influence that spreads for thousands of kilometers.

They are an important part of building kingdom-level control nodes.

Even so, there are not many legendary strong men who belong to the garrison system in the giant city.

Richardson's strength during his lifetime was probably between the sixth and seventh levels, which was above the level of epic but not legendary.

After death, the physical body decays, causing its own attributes to be severely weakened.

After excluding skill factors, its paper attributes will appear even lower.

With his strength during his lifetime, it was more than enough to control the Silver Lion Knights, which was mainly composed of fourth- and fifth-level knights.

Therefore, the current Richardson can truly usher in a breakthrough in attributes.

"Thank you for your cultivation."

Richardson transformed into a double-faced, four-armed man who touched his chest and saluted, briefly expressing his respect.

"Well, let's go back to the territory now."

"Perhaps in the near future, you will have the opportunity to lead an army of the undead on an expedition."

Zong Shenyi said pointedly.

Richardson didn't say much, and turned around to leave vigorously.

When it had just taken two steps, Zong Shen suddenly said in a casual tone.

"One day, the Knights of the Silver Lion will be reorganized."

What Zong Shen was talking about this time was not a plan, but a fact that was gradually being realized.

There is [Silver Lion War Flag (gold)] to recruit lion knights regularly, and [Silver Lion Hand Sculpture (orange)] to expand the formation of the knights.

Theoretically, it is entirely possible to reorganize and create the Silver Lion Knights.

"I believe that they will be invincible under the hands of adults."

Richardson's tone was low, and after finishing speaking, he quickly walked towards Reese Ulysses who was sitting in the pavilion.

The senior space mage activated Flash after seeing Zong Shen nodding in the distance, and took Richardson away from here.

After watching the two people leave, Zong Shen took out the next item.

That is a brilliance-level defense tower construction diagram.

The territory's current area has greatly increased.

The demand for defense towers has also increased exponentially.

However, the defense towers obtained through conventional acquisition channels simply cannot meet the demand.

This forced the territory to follow the example of the aboriginal giant city and allocate part of its troops to form a security army and a garrison.

Fortunately, the territory has an advantage that the aborigines cannot compare with.

That is incomparable internal stability.

Loyalty is the cornerstone of maintaining the stability of the territorial people.

Even though its role has been weakened a bit in the successive rule updates, it can still exert sufficient power and can be called the ballast stone for the stability of the territory.

Under such a premise, the public security environment is naturally extremely superior and a lot of trouble can be avoided.

The hidden dangers of internal troubles are very low, and the only ones that need to be concerned about are external troubles.

If there are enough defensive towers to guard the territory, the garrison strength can be greatly reduced.

Thus, the troops can be devoted to the most critical phase of conquest.

Now Zong Shen is curious about the significance of the dazzling-level defense tower blueprint in his hand.

If you are lucky and can get a defense tower that is comparable to the wonder level, then this wave will be profitable.

[Abyss Defense Tower Construction Drawings (Glory Level V)]

[Quality: Yaoguang Grade V]

[Construction requirements: stone × 16500, iron × 1030, wood × 1800, hemp rope × 1200, special abyss crystal × 120, abyss magic silver × 300, demonized rune × 19]

[In the environment of the main material world, a maximum of three abyss defense towers can be built in a single territory]

[Occupied area: 1800 square meters]

[Abyss erosion damage: 6972~8221]

[Attack speed: 35 seconds]

[Attack distance: 5500 meters]

[Height: 190 meters]

[Sturdiness value: 95000]

[Building Armor: 3500]

[Building magic resistance: 3200]

[Abyss Power Reserve: 0/2000000]

[Active effect: Abyss Domain (can be activated by consuming 60,000 points of Abyss Power). Summons the Abyss Domain within a territory with a maximum radius of 18 kilometers. Depending on the enemy's position, up to 1,200 diameter beams will be ejected from the ground. It is a three-meter abyss beam. Each beam can cause 5000 points of abyss erosion damage to the enemy hit, and at the same time weaken the power of all other magic types within the range by 30%. The abyss domain can last for up to 15 minutes, with a cooling time of 4 hours)

Abyss Guard (can convert every point of abyss power into 10 points of shield value to protect itself)】

[Passive effect: Abyss power absorption (the abyss defense tower can absorb 10 points of abyss power every second and store it. Gathering abyss power by placing abyss crystals or related abyss strange objects around it can increase the passive absorption of magic energy. efficiency, in addition, if the surrounding environment is close to the abyss, the absorption speed can also be increased)

Abyss recovery (when the abyss defense tower is hit by the magic and power of the abyss, not only will it not be damaged, but it will be able to recover its strength value. This effect is effective for both ourselves and the enemy)

Abyss Dispersion (every 10 minutes during war, 50,000 points of stock abyss power will be extracted and dispersed, converted into abyss power at a 1:1 ratio, and replenished to 100 abyss targets within the range on average)]

(Architectural drawings can be reused, but due to the special nature of the power of the abyss, only three abyss defense towers can be built in the same territory.

It has high single target damage and long attack interval

Comes with an active skill and several passive skills with great power and range.

It's definitely quite a deterrent when placed in a defense tower.

You can be considered as holding this little eldest son.

Although it is not as good as a spectacle, if three abyss defense towers are built in the territory, it can also significantly strengthen the area's defense capabilities)

…

This abyss defense tower is really good.

Individual attributes are comparable to low-level wonders.

It's just that the range of influence is incomparable, and it doesn't have as many skills as Wonder.

Compared with wonders, defense towers have much weaker capabilities in all aspects.

Construction drawings can be reused, and sub-bases can be built in the future.

The only difficulty is the building materials it requires! (End of chapter)
