The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Xu Lai had already seen the power of the Holy Light Knight. Of course, the one Xu Lai saw was much more powerful than the one he recruited.

There is no way. Over the decades, I have developed many advanced skills, such as riding, pole weapons, swords and shields, which may be level 7, 8 or even level 9 or 10.

Moreover, Pierce's spell list, I dare not say that compared with a priest who specializes in spellcasting, is definitely much more than that of Xu Lai's Holy Light Knight.

But as long as the Holy Light Knight's essential spells and characteristics are still there, these 5,000 gold coins will be well spent.

In comparison, Tahan, the heroic knight, is slightly inferior. Not only are the weapons and equipment not as gorgeous as his opponent, but his combat effectiveness is also slightly inferior. After all, he is a purely physical warrior.

However, if put on the battlefield, the damage caused by Tahan, a heroic knight, would probably take several paladins without sacrificing to catch up.

There is no other way. After advancing to the seventh level of the Great Knight, that is, after upgrading to a high-level unit, Tahan's basic life has doubled, from the previous 50 points to 100 points.

Now he has advanced again and gained 5 points of strength and 5 points of physical improvement. Under the influence of Xu Lai's equipment and specialization, his total life has increased to an astonishing 345 points.

In other words, even without any life recovery, Tahan can get up to more than 300 points of attack power bonus.

With such a terrifying bonus, coupled with its own basic attack power and the enhancement of the enhanced charge, even the legendary ninth-level creature should not be able to withstand this attack.

Of course, the price is also high. If there is no healing spell to recover and lose more than 300 health points, Tahan will be in an extremely dangerous state.

After upgrading Tahan, Xu Lai's cavalry team all completed the upgrade, spending a total of 30,600 gold coins and 1 unit of crystals.

Finally, Xu Lai had 1 level 8 heroic knight, 1 level 8 holy light knight, 6 level 7 paladins, 10 level 5 knight retinues, 50 level 4 trainee knights and a small team of 12 people led by Yan Feng Level 7 heroes, a total of 80 knights.

After the knights, there was a team of shooters who were not much inferior.

After losing more than 30,000 gold coins, Xu Lai's heart trembled. No wonder the earl, who commanded the entire grassland, only had one knighthood under his command.

In this knight order, there are still two-thirds of the 4th and 5th level knights, and the remaining one-third and one-third are subordinate nobles.

It is true that high-level knights are really too expensive. After being promoted to high-level, even the appetite will increase, and two units of food will be consumed every day.

But now that Xu Lai has made up his mind to go to the wilderness, the mobility and combat effectiveness of the cavalry are particularly important, and money on this must not be saved.

The shooter is also his current main force. Especially after he is away from home, he must leave a strong enough force to guard his home.

Fortunately, the shooters did not have mounts, otherwise Xu Lai would really cry.

First there are the lowest level long archers, 15 in total, and the level 4 archers are promoted to level 5, each worth 200 gold, for a total of 3,000 gold.

Having personally experienced the huge battlefield, Xu Lai had a more intuitive understanding of the archer troops under his command.

The shooters under Count Ani are mainly divided into two parts. One part is the shooter army mainly composed of sharpshooters, supplemented by a small number of flame shooters.

The other one is mainly armor-breaking crossbowmen, supplemented by a small number of bed crossbowmen, crossbow shooters and other city defense crossbowmen.

In actual combat, there was a huge gap in the performance of the two units. Among them, the archer unit had already supplied two rounds of arrows, while the crossbowman unit could only finish shooting a bag of crossbow arrows.

In addition, the shooter troops showed amazing suppression power against the low-level troops in the stronghold.

From the moment they entered the projectile range of the archer units, the Big-Eared Monster and other hundreds of thousands of low-level troops in the stronghold began to die in large numbers.

Only one out of ten can finally reach the front of the human infantry line.

The archer unit also performed well when fighting the orcs in the stronghold.

If humans hadn't taken the initiative to attack and took advantage of the range, the shooters could have eliminated these orcs with almost no loss.

As for marksmen and flame shooters, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The former has continuous arrows and a longer range. The continuous arrows can quickly form waves of arrow rain attacks. After using the arrow tower to expand the range advantage, even the flying soldiers dare not get close to investigate.

The range damage caused by the latter's upgrade caused considerable damage on dense battlefields.

On the other hand, there is a huge gap between the range of the crossbowmen and the archers. The flying speed of the crossbow arrows is not slow, but it takes a lot of time to reload the crossbow arrows.

Of course, the crossbowmen are not without outstanding performance. Their crossbows can fire arrows continuously, and the suppression of arrow feathers formed in a short period of time is more terrifying than that of high-level archers who use continuous arrows.

But another important role of the crossbowman was not reflected much in this battle.

The range of the crossbow is not as good as that of the infantry bow, but its power is much stronger than that of the infantry bow. The armor-piercing crossbowmen have powerful armor-breaking capabilities and can cause a lot of damage to heavily armored units.

Unfortunately, the stronghold is a terrifyingly poor camp. Only a small number of long-range orcs wear armor, and the rest are either leather armor or flesh armor like Beamon and the Cyclops.

In addition, although it was on the prairie and the battlefield was huge, there were too many soldiers on both sides engaged in the battle. The shooting angles of the crossbowmen and archers were limited, and most of them could only shoot from a distance.

Therefore, it is not surprising that in the end, the results of a unit of crossbowmen with the same number were more than 5 times worse than that of archers.

Xu Lai doesn't have a crossbow unit yet, but after he destroyed the Orcs' base camp, of course he also obtained some drawings based on the Orcs' recruitment buildings.

In addition to the repeated infantry training camp and spearman training camp, there are also two buildings, the crossbow tower and the griffon fortress.

Among them, the Crossbowman Tower can be built now, while the Griffin Fortress can only be built after the town is upgraded to a fortress.

When Xu Lai came back this time, he even lost some of his loot, not even a single stone, and he also brought back a lot of wood.

Xu Lai has collected all the town hearts needed to upgrade the fortress, and even has one more town heart and one more village level town heart.

These tasks can be done later. The main task now is still advancement and rewards.

Originally, Xu Lai planned to set up two archer units, but considering that there should be a crossbow unit in the future, he wanted to follow Count Aini's example and create a mixed archer unit.

Among the mixed shooters, Xu Lai prefers sharpshooters, so in the end 10 people advanced to become sharpshooters, and 5 people advanced to become flame shooters.

The original 5 flame shooters and 6 marksmen will advance step by step into master shooters and explosive shooters.

Level 5 shooters upgrade to level 6, one is 400 gold, and 11 is 4400 gold.

Originally, 3 explosive archers were promoted to magic archers, and 1,000 each was equivalent to 3,000 gold.

There were originally four shooter masters, each of which cost 1,000 gold. Xu Lai spent 4,000 gold to be promoted to the ultimate shooter profession, sky shooter.

[Sky Shooter]: The empire's level 7 shooter unit consumes 1 unit of food per person per day.

Feature 1. Sky Arrow. The sky archer can shoot arrows into the air in advance. When necessary, he can summon his own sky arrow to attack the target. The maximum attack distance is 1000 meters, and the damage caused is reduced by 50%.

Feature 2. Seven-star continuation. The sky shooter can launch a round of seven-star continuation at a single target or 7 targets in a very short period of time. It requires 30 seconds to charge before attacking.

Feature 3. The ultimate shooter. It takes one second to aim. The sky shooter will hit the target 100% within its own attack distance.

Feature 4. Block the airspace and when shooting flying targets in the sky, the optimal range is increased to 800 meters, the ultimate range is increased to 1600 meters, and the damage is increased to 150%.

After looking at the attributes of the sky shooter, Xu Lai thought to himself, no wonder the orcs avoided human towns when conducting investigations.

Not to mention Stone Castle, none of the other two large towns has less than ten arrow towers.

The ultimate range of the sky shooter is 1,600 meters. With the addition of the arrow tower, the range and damage are really scary.

Even large raptors like the Dapeng and Thunderbird cannot fly very high after carrying people.

And even if they can fly beyond the extreme range, the scouts on the birds should not be able to see clearly the situation in towns several kilometers away.

After upgrading these master shooters, a total of 14,400 gold coins were spent.

At this time, among the entire shooter team, only Giselle was not promoted.

Giselle was only a level 5 great elf before, and the upgrade cost was not expensive, only 500 gold coins.

However, Giselle has two promotion directions, namely level 6 lava shooter and level 6 polar shooter.

Xu Lai has seen the advanced version of the 6th level polar marksman, the personal guard brought by Kate, the 7th level polar marksman.

Xu Lai still likes the characteristics of polar marksmen. They have no so-called optimal range or ultimate range.

Within the ultimate range, they are all at their best range, and they can all cause 100% damage.

The lava shooter is probably similar to the polar shooter, except that one corresponds to the fire element and the other to the ice element.

Xu Lai had no choice but to choose for others, but for Giselle, Xu Lai felt that he didn't need to worry.

"Giselle, what career do you want to advance to?"

Yes, it was that simple and direct. After being promoted once and going to the battlefield once, Xu Lai felt that Giselle's personality was completely independent and she could basically be treated as an adult.

"If I could choose, I'd like to be a polar shooter."

Xu Lai smiled and nodded: "That's as you wish."

Now that Giselle has made her choice, Xu Lai respects her. In fact, what he wants more is a lava shooter, because the fire ability can cause higher damage.

However, when Xu Lai invested 500 gold coins and confirmed the advancement, the light of advancement only flickered above Giselle's head.

Giselle touched her head, looking extremely confused, and Xu Lai suddenly got a hint in his heart.

"A large amount of experience overflow has been detected. Please make a decision within 10 seconds whether to spend additional gold coins to advance to an unknown profession.

10…9…8…” (End of this chapter)
