The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

In other words, after stripping away the wisdom technique, Xu Lai can learn up to two specializations, and the places are extremely limited.

If the witch who gave Xu Lai the potion had appeared here, Xu Lai might have gone berserk on the spot, because after checking the information, he found many specializations that were of great help in actual combat.

For example, ballistic skills are a huge help in sieges and long-range battles, navigation skills are necessary for water warfare and naval battles, first aid skills can save lives at critical moments, magic power makes spells more powerful, and intelligence can greatly increase the upper limit of magic.

There are also pathfinding spells that are very useful in special terrains, lucky spells that give troops a chance to double their attacks, and so on.

With so many good abilities, Xu Lai was even more reluctant to invest in specializations that were not very helpful in combat.

However, learning ability is not a specialization that is of little help in combat. At least it can speed up Xu Lai's level improvement and improve his combat effectiveness in disguise.

If there was no limit on the number of specializations, Xu Lai would definitely choose learning ability.

But isn't there a limit now? If there are limits, he can only give up the same as financial management. After all, financial management is also a disguised form of improving his combat effectiveness.

At level 15, Xu Lai chose [Advanced Leadership Technique]. The effect was to increase the morale of the entire army by 5 and gain additional effects 2 and inspiration.

Inspire: Consumes 10 mana points to temporarily increase the morale of the entire army by 20 points (the morale effect is not triggered, is consumed first, and disappears after the battle). It can only be used once a day.

The advanced leadership skill once again increased morale by 2 points and obtained a new additional effect of encouragement. Unfortunately, it was a temporary increase and did not trigger the morale effect. Otherwise, Xu Lai would have used encouragement directly from the beginning.

At level 16, what appeared in front of Xu Lai were advanced offensive techniques and elementary wisdom techniques.

He still has no way to learn spells, and he is fighting against the stronghold camp, so he directly chooses advanced offensive techniques.

[Advanced Offensive Technique]: Increases the damage caused by melee physical attacks of the entire army by 30%, and activates the additional effect of the offensive technique. 2. When a melee soldier kills a target, there is a 30% chance of causing damage to the enemy unit next to the target.

Advanced offensive techniques once again gain a 10% increase in physical melee damage, which can at least offset the effect of Taloshi's advanced defensive techniques.

It's equivalent to neither party mastering offensive or defensive skills.

At level 17, what appeared in front of Xu Lai were still two specializations, one old and the other old.

[Elementary Academic]: Allows heroes to learn magic from each other and be affected by Wisdom. Junior academics allow each other to learn level 1 magic.

This is a specialization effect that can increase Xu Lai's ability to learn spells. After mastering this ability, Xu Lai can use this ability to consult other heroes who have learned spells at any time.

Of course, others may not agree. At this time, Xu Lai can also use the academic skills he has mastered to teach his spells to the other party for transactions, or agree to other conditions.

However, there are restrictions on the spells learned through this specialization. First, spells that exceed the specialization level cannot be learned. Second, they are also affected by the wisdom spells of both parties.

That is, the other party can teach you level 3 spells, but you don't have the wisdom spell, so you can't teach them, and vice versa.

There was nothing to say about this specialization. Xu Lai hesitated for a moment and then gave up. After all, spells could be learned in other ways, and specialization could only be obtained by upgrading, and there was an upper limit on the number.

The old specialization was the diplomacy that Xu Lai had been waiting for for a long time and finally appeared in front of him again.

[Intermediate Diplomacy]: Increase the probability of joining neutral troops, reduce the amount of ransom payment, and gain a "friendly" level of basic favorability when visiting the righteous camp.

Neutral troops that are weaker than you have a 40% chance of joining you (the smaller the military strength gap between the two sides, the higher the probability of making additional requests; the higher the friendship between the two sides, the higher the chance of joining you.)

When you are captured, the ransom is automatically reduced by 40%.

Activate the special effects of diplomacy 1. Persuasion. When your suggestions, conditions, etc. are not adopted, the friendship between you and the person you persuade will not be reduced. It will only take effect once within a certain period of time. (The basic success rate is determined by factors such as the friendship between the two parties, the reputation difference, the content of the proposal, etc.)

Intermediate diplomacy will undoubtedly have a higher success rate in diplomacy. If Xu Lai had acquired this intermediate diplomacy earlier, then the large group of heavy infantry that he had reserved until the end should be able to succeed in diplomacy.

In addition, the intermediate diplomacy has an additional effect of not losing favor if persuasion fails. Xu Lai can't see where he needs to use this thing for the time being.

The last thing that Xu Lai needs to deal with is the last reward obtained in this settlement, and it is also the reward that Xu Lai attaches most importance to.

The flag is something that every hero will automatically carry when he comes.

Although in the eyes of Xu Lai and others, flags have no special classification, they are neither equipment nor treasures.

But in the empire's data, flags are classified as treasures, and the effect is indeed comparable.

Even Xu Lai's original heroic flag has a morale bonus of 1 point for the entire army, which is equivalent to a courage amulet, or a characteristic of the Paladin.

The key point is that it does not have the property of a treasure, that is, anyone can carry it. From this aspect, its applicability is much stronger than that of a treasure, and so is its price.

The pioneer flag given to him by Count Aini did not have any special decoration, but it was the most precious item in Count Aini's treasury.

Pierce asked for this flag. Count Aini didn't say anything on his face, but he actually hated Xu Lai in his heart.

However, this Pioneer Flag is far from comparable to the King Behemoth Flag given by the Beast King.

According to the stronghold information given by Duer to Xu Lai, the blood essence of ninety-nine and eighty-one Behemoth beasts was used to draw this royal flag.

Like human angels, adult Beamon is a noble seventh-level creature. Its most well-known characteristic is that it ignores 40% of the physical defense ability of the attacked person.

This is not the most outrageous thing. The most outrageous thing is that the 8th-level Behemoth directly ignores 80% of the physical defense ability of the person being attacked. The highest-level ghost Behemoth directly ignores all physical defenses.

For example, the Paladins of the Empire, the Thousand-Year Dryads of the Barrier, the Boulder Elementals of the Elements, the Diamond Men of the Tower, etc. are all famous for their physical defense capabilities.

However, in Beamon's eyes, these units are no different from ordinary farmers. They are just that farmers can catch one at a time. These units have more health points and may only cost two more claws.

Therefore, Behemoth has always been nicknamed the King of Land Battles.

Beamon has high offensive and defensive capabilities, is huge in size, and is a high-level unit that can be mass-produced. It should be no less powerful than tanks in modern society.

It's a pity that Xu Lai doesn't know how to build tanks. It's hard to match the physics and chemistry knowledge in this world.

Closer to home, the most important raw material of the Behemoth King Flag is the essence and blood of the Behemoth. This flag naturally has the special effects of the Behemoth.

It's just that the special effect of King Behemoth's flag is half weaker than the 40% of adult Behemoth, only 20%.

Of course, even this 20% is still a very powerful ability. If combined with armor-piercing arrows, then not all of the rangers under his command are Behemoths, or they are long-range Behemoths.

Compared with this characteristic, 20 attack points naturally made Xu Lai especially coveted. With these 20 attack points, the level 1 militiamen, level 2 infantry and the like under his command were basically equivalent to an upgrade of one or two levels.

Even for high-level units such as Paladins and Great Knights, 20 attack points is not a small number, especially when they charge, this number may have to be increased to 50 or 60 points.

On the contrary, Xu Lai didn't care much about the basic attributes. It was just two more points of morale. He happened to have upgraded to the first-level leadership skill, so he could just as well have been deprived of it as well.

Unfortunately, this flag is only effective for soldiers in the stronghold camp. If it could also be effective for his own side, Xu Lai would only find a way to repair the flagpole of this flag.

20 attack points and ignoring 20% ​​defense, Xu Lai did not hesitate for too long before choosing the latter. The former has wider applicability, but the latter is more terrifying for some units, especially high-level units.

You know, this world is the real world, and there is no forced harm as the game calls it.

Sometimes, if you don't break the defense, even if you have a group of warriors besieging you forever and starving the enemy to death, you still won't be able to take away any of the opponent's life.

Xu Lai's Pioneer Flag was still intact despite Pierce's violent use. The flagpole and flag surface were still intact, which fully demonstrated that the materials used to make them were not simple.

It was stained with blood before, but after the battle was settled, the entire flag became brand new again.

After Xu Lai chose to deprive it, the Behemoth beast on the Behemoth King's flag disappeared little by little in front of Xu Lai's eyes.

It was replaced by Xu Lai's vanguard flag. The size of the flag did not change, but the charging knights became smaller and smaller, and the lance originally held in his arms was thrust out at this time.

When the Behemoth on King Behemoth's flag completely disappeared, the knight on the vanguard flag had already shot a huge Behemoth in the body.

Even though this knight is riding a tall horse, it is still only about one-third the size of the Behemoth on the flag.

Xu Lai narrowed his eyes and suddenly remembered that when he first obtained this flag, he asked Pierce if he could redraw a pattern himself.

His previous flag had no pattern, but he knew that all the nobles in the world had badges and special patterns that represented their status. Xu Lai also wanted to follow suit, and he had even chosen a target.

A giant oriental dragon represents his identity as a descendant of the Yan and Huang Dynasties and the descendant of the dragon.

However, Pierce told him that the pattern of a flag cannot be drawn casually, especially a flag with identity and special effects. The pattern often represents the past honors of the owner of the flag.

A person who has not killed a dragon himself is not qualified to carry a flag with a dragon pattern, unless his ancestors have had dragon slayers.

The knight who originally charged on the vanguard flag now became the knight who stabbed Beamon to death, and the name of the flag also changed because of this.

[Vanguard's Behemoth Killer]: Flag, the morale of the entire army +3. When the flag bearer or hero is in the first echelon of the battle, the morale of the entire army will be an additional +10, the charge speed of the entire army will be increased by an additional 15%, and all enemy units will be ignored by 20 % defense.
