The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Of course, there is not much difference between horseback archery and standing archery. The gap in mobility between the two is huge.

If nothing else, take the undead we encountered before as an example. Compared with the level 2 walking zombies, level 3 zombies not only have stronger defense, but also have increased speed.

It's just that the base speed of these undead is too slow, and the little increase in speed is not worth mentioning.

But if the level 3 zombies are upgraded to level 4, Xu Lai and the others may not be able to eliminate them before they get close.

As for the level 3 horse archers, let alone the level 4 wights, even if the zombies continue to advance, as long as they do not have long-range abilities, the horse archers can keep flying kites to kill them.

This is the special ability brought by mobility, which allows you to defeat enemies that are far more powerful than yourself when you are still weak.

As for the small gap in shooting ability, to be honest, Xu Lai really didn't take it to heart.

But Xu Lai can also understand why Su Ya said this, because she knows that the entire team currently only has one horse, and it is Xu Lai's mount.

So this archer is actually not competing with level 3 archers, but with Xu Lai.

Does Su Ya need to think about which one is more important, Xu Lai or the horse archers? That is full loyalty.

He and Su Ya agreed. Obviously, the cavalry can be excluded, and they only need to choose between archers and crossbowmen.

The crossbowman's advantages and shortcomings are very obvious. According to Su Ya's previous statement, the crossbowman's attack distance should only be 50 to 60 meters, which is much worse than the trainee shooter.

But at a distance of 50 to 60 meters, the shooting power will be greatly improved.

As for the impact of lowering the rate of fire, it can basically offset each other with the increase in melee combat.

Xu Lai is a modern person after all, and he still appreciates crossbows. This is a weapon that can still be used in modern warfare, although it can only be used for sneak attacks and assassinations.

However, for the time being, he still values ​​long-range abilities, so for this opportunity to advance, he chose the shooter.

[Level 3 Archer]: Each person consumes 1 unit of food per day and has stronger long-range attack capabilities.

Sure enough, after upgrading to level 3 shooter, Xu Lai got more detailed information about the shooter, but to sum it up in one sentence, he could shoot farther, shoot more accurately, and shoot more painfully than a trainee shooter.

50 gold coins automatically disappeared from the backpack, and the trainee shooter who had been shrouded in golden light also changed his appearance under the influence of the gold coins.

The original thick clothes on his body have disappeared, replaced by thick clothes with a layer of leather, an iron helmet on his head, and thick leggings on his feet.

The bow is still a short bow, but it is larger than that of the apprentice archer.

There are still two quivers, but there are two more arrows inside, and the arrowheads have been changed from the ordinary iron arrowheads to arrowheads with ribs and grooves.

All over his body, only the dagger from before remained the same.

The shooter was still the same as before, with almost no ability to communicate actively. At least it was impossible for Xu Lai to want him to report his abilities.

Although he knew the general information and how much the specific combat power could be improved, he had no idea.

He called a trainee archer and asked the third-level archer to compare with him. The two of them faced a big tree seventy steps away.

The distance was measured by Xu Lai himself. Every step he took was roughly the same. The distance of seventy steps should be about 50 meters, which was exactly the best shooting range for a trainee shooter.

After giving the order, the two of them opened their bows and nocked arrows at the same time. The level 3 archer was obviously faster, and his arrows flew out first.

Xu Lai stood watching from the side. The arrow shot almost straight towards the tree, accurately hitting the circle he marked on the tree.

The other arrow was a little slower, and it dropped significantly when it approached the big tree. Although it finally hit the circle, it landed at the bottom of the circle, several centimeters away from the center of the circle. .

Finally, Xu Lai personally pulled out the two arrows. The trainee archer's arrow had just entered the wood, and even the entire arrow had not penetrated completely. He pulled it out gently and fell into his hand.

It was a bit difficult for the level 3 archer to pull out the arrow. The entire arrow had not penetrated into the trunk of the tree. If Xu Lai's strength hadn't increased a lot now, he might not have been able to pull it out.

After testing the power of the level 3 shooter, Xu Lai became a little eager to try it again.

Although the undead before were terrifying in appearance, their slow movements posed almost no threat. As long as they were not surrounded by these undead, there was no danger at all.

What's more, whether you are building a tent or upgrading soldiers, you need gold coins. If you continue to spend like this, the initial 1,000 gold coins will not be enough.

Xu Lai didn't know any other way to obtain gold coins stably. Since he could kill monsters, level up and obtain gold coins, how could he not be tempted.

However, Su Ya didn't quite agree with his idea, because the depths of the woods were too dark and filled with gloomy energy, making it the most suitable environment for the undead to grow and thrive.

So Su Ya judged that there might be more powerful undead in the woods, including walking corpses and skeletons. Among the undead species, there were also ghosts that were immune to physical attacks, vampires that could fly and suck blood, and even necromancers who were extremely good at long-range spells.

Any creature has a chance to become undead after death, so among the racial groups of the undead, the types are the most numerous and complex.

Xu Lai was not arrogant enough to think that a team of long-range shooters could conquer the world. After listening to Su Ya's words, he felt calmer.

But Su Ya didn't let Xu come and go, she just didn't let him go in depth or go alone.

To be honest, Xu Lai is not very confident now. He is still unwilling to let him go alone. He will drag Su Ya along no matter what.

In addition to not being able to go deep into the woods, Xu Lai and the others also couldn't stray too far from their own farmers.

With just a few precious farmers, if there is any loss, it will be like picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon.

So Xu Lai and the others actually didn't go very far and focused on the shadowed corner where the walking corpse was found.

This place smelled much more than other places. Unfortunately, they could not find more walking corpses, but they did find a rotting wooden coffin.

Judging from the degree of decay, this wooden coffin must have been stored for a long time.

Su Ya told Xu Lai that places where the undead stay will accelerate decay, especially wood, corpses and other materials that were once living bodies.

Moreover, this wooden coffin was hurriedly placed here without even being buried. It was probably because the appearance of the undead scared the villagers who came to the funeral.

It can be seen that this forest may have been a place where nearby villagers buried their ancestors.

Xu Lai also retreated a little after hearing this. He came to this place inexplicably and was trapped in a mysterious space for a long time. He actually had a lot of indifference towards life and death.

Just thinking that his opponent was already dead made him feel inexplicably panicked.

Just when he was waving his hand to leave, a claw suddenly stretched out from the coffin and firmly grasped Xu Lai's ankle.
