Chapter 589: Invincible under the tower
For them, glory is higher than anything else, and even the ancestral spirits are popular among them because it is a symbol of glory.
The other part is the regular Kore cavalry composed of the nomadic Kentana barbarians led by Cologne Zu, mainly riding small Kore beasts with relatively high machine power, and taking pursuit and interception as the main mode of combat.
If you want to conquer the Kentana barbarians here, you must first find them, and then you will inevitably rely on cavalry to fight.
In Sean's eyes, the weapon of faith is just a stepping stone, it does not mean that he can do whatever he wants to the Kentana barbarians, and if he wants to really make them return to his heart, or is it emotionally fettered, so that they can recognize his lord's and the Eternal Night Commander, which is the real safe way.
In the three months since the formation of the Ancestral Spirit Legion, Sean has basically eaten, lived and practiced with them, not only to enhance the relationship between the two parties, but also to use high-intensity training to speed up the pace of adapting to his body and further tap his potential.
In the process, Sean showed toughness, even the Kentana barbarians looked at him, and his loyalty grew.
The Kentana barbarians have always admired the strong as the respect, and the powerful warriors are easy to win respect among them, and the old ancestor of the Seven Apostles prepared a means for Sean to conquer the Kentana barbarians, which is to subdue all the Kentana barbarian powerhouses in a glorious battle witnessed by the ancestral spirit.
Sean thinks that this method is too simple and crude, and that it is not particularly high for the restraint of the Kentana barbarians.
However, it does not prevent the weapon of faith from being used as a supplementary means of better rule.
During the training, Sean challenged the Ancestral Spirit Legion from top to bottom, and in the flag duel, no, in the battle of glory, these big men were subdued in different tricks.
In all the martial arts routines of the Eternal Night Army, there is his shadow, and most of the combat skills come from him.
The understanding and use of martial arts has definitely reached an unprecedented height, even Marshal Dicklon, who was born as a gladiator and is known as proficient in all eighteen weapons, is now willing to bow down in the use of weapons.
Greed can't chew more, this idiom doesn't apply to Sean at all.
It doesn't matter whether it's light, heavy, long, short, dexterous, or powerful, he can afford to put it down.
The cell rune culture also made his body strength power, turning it into a hybrid dual power of physical body and magic energy, directly breaking through the limit of the physical body.
The strength of the left arm can be on par with that of an ordinary champion knight, and the right arm with the potential of the unicorn arm is not inferior even against the Kentana Barbarian Champion Knight.
Not to mention that he still has a cheat on his body - soul consciousness.
After the switch transformation of the mage tower was completed, Sean restarted it as soon as possible.
It was only after the launch that he realized the benefits of doing so.
This means that his soul consciousness is always in an amplified state, and the specific soul strength assigned to his physical body is completely determined by himself.
More precisely, it depends on the maximum limit that your body can bear.
The implication is self-evident, right?
He didn't need to use soul runes tightly like ordinary soldiers, he had a huge amount of resources at his disposal.
Under normal circumstances, his soul runes were only eight and a half million, which was indeed much higher than the five million of the normal champion knight standard line, but it was also relatively limited, and it did not enter the inhuman level.
However, after being strengthened by the Trinity Mage Tower, the number of his total soul runes was nearly 100 billion, and the strengthening multiple of the Mage Tower was a few points higher than expected, and the preliminary calculation result was 11,523 times.
Even if it is half a percentage point, it immediately reaches a level of inhumanity.
It is not a problem to engrave all the combat skills into the consciousness of your soul.
Sean didn't choose to do this, because he had a better option - the Soul Energy Reactor.
Compared with the passive absorption of spell energy by the mana pool in the combat technique, the method of actively absorbing spell energy for one's own use in the soul energy reactor is undoubtedly more efficient.
Just like the soul arm, he released a spell attack on his front foot, and a part of the spell energy on his back foot was absorbed by the soul energy reactor, so as to achieve the effect of reuse, which indirectly played the purpose of reducing consumption.
After having the Soul Energy Reactor, the mana pools of all combat skills can be removed, and they can be connected to the mana pool of the Soul Energy Reactor to share a mana pool.
In this way, the combat skill is no longer a combat skill, and even if it is a display mode with combat skills, in fact, it has returned to its essential structure - the spell model.
Shaun is more suitable to be called a battle mage than a warrior, he can charge with his arms like a berserker, or he can turn into a spell turret and blast them to death.
All the spell models known to the Eternal Night Army Leader were successfully built in their own souls, and only 300 million soul runes were consumed before and after, which could barely be afforded with the dual support of the soul energy reactor and cell rune culture.
Just like all soul weapons, the closer Sean is to the Mage Tower, the more powerful his combat power will be, because the magic energy is endless, and everyone else cherishes the ultimate skill used, and Sean can be used as a buff in the Northern Fortress, hanging twenty-four hours a day.
This is the difference between the average player and the top Kryptonite player.
To put it bluntly, Sean is now invincible under the tower.
Whoever challenges him in the Northern Fortress will be beaten by him in a different way.
The combat power rises with the tide, and there is also the combat power of the soul arm.
In the past, Sean only thought about using his soul to arm his talent to fight, even after using his soul to a higher level, he only stuffed a soul energy reactor into their bodies, and it was considered a complete life to maintain them for twenty-five hours without dissipation.
But he forgot that since he can stuff the soul energy reactor in them, he can also stuff spell models to enhance their combat effectiveness, as long as a set of spell models is tailored for them, they can make their combat effectiveness to a higher level and be competent for more complicated combat missions.
In this way, if the Giant's Soul is simply used for possession, it will be a bit too wasteful.
Drawing on the unique state of his own physical condition, Sean came up with a more brilliant idea - just like magnifying his own soul consciousness, magnifying the soul consciousness of the dragon soul and the giant soul ten thousand times.
If that's all it takes, it's just a matter of adding four more towers to the Northern Fortress, taking its barrel-like defense to the next level.
But if it corresponds to the corresponding soul mark and combat skills, it will have the ability to summon them.
In this way, it is not an ancestral spirit possession in the sense of combat skills, but an ancestral spirit possession in the real sense, because this belongs to the category of using external forces, and the ability to the user will be further reduced.
The results of the test were feasible, but the amount of power that summoners borrowed from them was strictly controlled.
Because the soul of the giant has no body, once they respond to the call, the burden of the borrowed part of the soul in order not to be harmed by the power of the law will naturally be borne by the summoner.
The greater the power of the summoning past, the greater the pressure on the summoner, which can break the summoner's muscles and bones, or overdraw their lives.
After much hesitation, Sean did not choose to make them into summoning possession skills.
The reasons are manifold.
One is that doing so must consume a lot of magic energy, and the magic energy in the energy reaction chamber of the Northern Fortress has not been so squandered.
The second is the problem of overdraft of the user's vitality.
The user itself has a soul to bear, and they are not like Sean's general cell rune culture, and their bearing capacity has been greatly improved, and supporting additional souls will definitely form a vitality overdraft, and the more they are used, the more they will be overdrawn.
Don't underestimate the temptation of this gratuitous ability, once someone tastes the sweetness, it is difficult to restrain this temptation, but the vitality of this kind of thing, the party is not visible with the naked eye, and it is difficult to measure, even if it is a clear warning, there will be many people who can't control it.
Just like everyone knows, smoking is harmful to health, but for the sake of short-term pleasure, many people still have a fluke mentality, if the life is quantified, smoking one for two days less, I am afraid that many people will not hesitate to quit smoking.
The main reason is that the Eternal Night Leader already has a combat skill system that is one step ahead of this world, and the same class is already half a head above everyone, so there is no need to fight in a way that overdraws his life.
If they have an enemy who can't breathe and they can't breathe, Sean will not have this consideration at all, first strengthen the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and then say, the life is gone, and what is the problem of vitality.
Sean wasn't ready to waste it still there, since it wasn't suitable for individual use, but it could be used as a group.
He is now building Legion Skills and Clan Skills, which previously only focused on support and attack skills, but now has an additional option - summon skills.
The power of the unified army and summoning a powerful soul to fight in the past is also a very touching thing to think about, especially the helper at the soul level, which just makes up for the short version of ordinary soldiers.
The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first.
A large number of military supplies began to assemble in the direction of the ruins group forts, including the major main battle corps, the Tiger Legion of the Second Army, the Bull Legion of the Third Army, and the Northern Army of the Fourth Army are moving in this direction, and they will complete the assembly at the beginning of spring.
Plus the Skulls, Holy Shields and Longbows of the First Army stationed in the Fortress of the Ruins and the Guards of the Guards Army, as well as the Ancestral Spirit Legion that was the main body of this expedition against the Barbarians of Kentana.
The commander of the Eternal Night Army will mobilize more than 50,000 troops from the Nine Legions, plus various logistics personnel, and the number of troops mobilized will exceed 80,000.
The lion fights the rabbit with all his might.
Not to mention dealing with a formidable foe like the Kentana Barbarians.
The Eternal Night Leader could never use just one Ancestral Spirit Legion.
Only by showing them their powerful force, coupled with the weapon of faith, can they obediently accept the reorganization and transformation of the Eternal Night Commander.
Now is clearly not the best time to strike.
It's on the Kentana Ice Sheet, the coldest season of the year, and it's not suitable for mass marching.
At the same time, it is not as difficult as the Kentana barbarians, and when the spring thaws and the winter materials are almost consumed, it is the most difficult day of the year for them.
When the time comes, the best goal can be achieved by believing in weapons, grain offensives, and armies pressing the border.
The layout of the Odin savannah is also continuing to ferment.
After Bryan's chief of staff got the news of the military leader, he handed over Oyuntana to the Broken Blood Rider on the front foot, and Sean's energy clone secretly arrived at the Broken Blood Castle to meet Archduke Cedric.
"Little one, I know you have a big appetite, but I didn't expect you to be so big that you would dare to fight the idea of the East Odin Empire. "Archduke Cedric is worthy of being the first military god of the Byron Alliance, and Sean only took a breath to understand the true intentions of the Eternal Night Leader.
As for the fact that the Eternal Night Warlord wanted to use the Broken Blood Fortress as a spear to hold back the army of the Theodin Empire, Archduke Cedric did not show much anger.
The Broken Blood Fortress and the Theodin Empire were already incompatible, and it was impossible for them to get along with each other with or without the Eternal Night Army leader making small moves in the middle.
Not to mention, the other party's surrender of Queen Oyuntana is itself a signal of goodwill.
If they really want to break the blood castle, they don't even need to tell it, they fan the wind behind their backs to light the ghost fire, and then sit back and watch the blood castle and the West Odin Empire fight to the death.
"How can there be a reason not to eat meat on the side of your mouth, in other words, your Excellency the Grand Duke, I am afraid that my mouth will be even more ruthless than me. Sean smiled and said, "Our cooperation during this period of time is quite pleasant, it is better to continue to cooperate, my temperament, His Excellency the Grand Duke should touch a little, we eat meat in front, and it is impossible to let our allies drink soup in the back." ”
"Oh, what's the cooperation method? Archduke Cedric showed a strong interest, he didn't dare to despise this young lord, although their military leadership was established for a short time, but the foundation was absolutely strong, not to mention that the other party had many ideas, maybe they could come up with unexpected good ideas.
"Offensive and defensive alliance, form an offensive and defensive alliance against the Odin Empire, if the Odin Empire raises troops to attack the Broken Blood Fortress, we will attack them from behind, and vice versa, as long as we work together, even if the Odin Empire completes the unification, we also have room for maneuver, maybe we can also take the opportunity to bleed and drag them into a weak state. Sean explained the main purpose of the visit.
The reason why Sean is reluctant to offend Archduke Cedric easily is from a long-term perspective.
Even if they were to smash all the forces of the Blood Fortress and the Eternal Night Army, they would not be able to destroy the Theodin Empire, and at most thwart their offensive.
After a few years of recuperation, you will be able to make a comeback.
At that time, even if the Eternal Night Commander really eats all the territory of the East Odin Empire, how can he resolve it in the face of their monstrous offensive?
You can't just throw everything away and retract back to the Eternal Night Leader, right?
In that case, wouldn't they become horse thieves, and they would never really want to invade the territory of the East Odin Empire.
Only by forming an offensive and defensive alliance with the Broken Blood Castle and jointly dividing up the East Odin Empire is the royal way, even if the West Odin Empire fights at that time, it will be the Broken Blood Castle in front.
"Although the border trade is profitable, it is not the most profitable, the most profitable is always the unprofitable business, as long as you master the grassland, master those Odin orcs, they are equivalent to herding cattle and horses for us, no one can refuse this kind of proposal, the question is how to divide the interests of the East Odin grassland? We are in the first counterattack line of the West Odin Empire, it seems unfair for you to share the benefits in the back, young lord, how are you going to balance this?" Archduke Cedric was not only a qualified commander-in-chief, but also a qualified politician, and quickly grasped the crux of the matter.
He had no way to refuse Sean's proposal.
In the past, the Eastern and Western Odin Empires and the Byron Alliance were three-legged.
The Byron alliance made full use of the irresolvable contradictions between the Eastern and Western Odin empires, and used a dozen ways to balance the strength between them, so as to reduce their own pressure.
Now that the East Odin Empire has been crippled, even if the Broken Blood Fortress stabbed them in the back from the West Odin Empire, but doing so only slowed down the rise of the West Odin Empire.
It only takes a few years of cultivation and recuperation, and the monstrous soldier peak of the Western Odin Empire will point to the Broken Blood Fortress.
When the time comes, without the East Odin Empire dragging behind, the pressure on the Broken Blood Castle will inevitably be huge.
Now that the Eternal Night Leader has taken the initiative to extend an olive branch and is willing to wade into this troubled water, Grand Duke Cedric categorically has no reason to refuse, but he also did not give up all his interests, which is the instinct of a ruler.
