Richard

Grade: 15

Power: 31.2

Constitution: 28.6

Dexterity: 30.1

Spirit: 11.8

Talents: Domination

Skills: Beast's Breath (Grandmaster - Unupgradeable), Sun Qi Induction (Intermediate), Offensive (Advanced), Defense (Intermediate), Logistics (Elementary).

Available Skill Points: 3

After being promoted to level fifteen, not only have various attributes been improved, but also a new basic skill has been obtained.

And this time there are two skills that can be upgraded, one is logistics, the other is defense, after Richard considered it, he decided to use three skill points on defense, although the intermediate defense technique to the advanced defense technique is only five percent improved, but the accumulation of so many system soldiers is already a big improvement, at least some crispy soldiers are not so easy to die directly.

As for logistics, although this skill is a magic skill, but at present, the primary level is enough, the primary logistics technique can increase the movement speed by ten percent, with the effect of the two treasures of the Divine Walking Boots and the Knight's Glove, the speed of the system army led by Richard is basically fast to the extent that it is unreasonable, and although it is also useful to increase some speed, it is more reliable to increase the defense in comparison.

Look at the treasure obtained this time, the first effect of the giant ring does not need to be said, it is not too strong to directly summon a giant to participate in the battle, this thing is not too strong except that it can't fly, it can be on top of the green dragon, even if it can't be beaten, it won't be too bad,

And it's also a summon, the kind that can be made casually, it can be used to death, the dragon knight of the kingdom has to discuss when he supports the dragon, and the dragon will refuse the battle mission that is too dangerous, and it is impossible to die, but unfortunately the cooldown time is a little long, and it can only be summoned once a month, Richard thought quite contentedly.

As for the second effect of the giant ring, directly obtaining the full power of a giant, it seems to be powerful, but in fact it may not be as beautiful as imagined, after all, it is only said that it is strength and not strength,

Richard's current strength is in his early thirties, and the strength of a giant should be between thirty-five and forty according to Richard's estimates, which is a few points stronger than Richard's strange earth knight.

The bonus of strength to combat effectiveness is unquestionable, after all, in the face of absolute power, many skills are ineffective.

But this kind of sudden increase in strength by more than double, not to mention whether Richard can adapt to it, there is no strength without the right body shape and weapons, and the effect of this bonus will be greatly reduced, but it is always a good thing, at least when it is suddenly used in heads-up, it will definitely be of great help in battle.

"New Mission: Shadow of the Orcs."

Description: For some reason, the orcs who have been resisted to the east of the Dragon's Breath Pass have traces of activities in the Northland, in order to prevent this group of orcs from causing greater harm, find them, and destroy them...

The new mission made Richard's heart tighten, sometimes the mission issued by the Congress is not exactly as simple as a mission, it can also be seen as a way to obtain information, just like the orc thing, Richard thought that the orcs should be extinct after the defeat of the ogre, and the mission of the Congress clearly told him that there were still orcs in the Northland.

Thinking of this, Richard felt a little chill in his heart, the orc warriors who appeared last time were suspected to have the strength of the earth level, like the Demon Suppression City Richard also left the poisonous scorpion lion of the earth level to guard the city lord's mansion, but the place where Ironwood City made his fortune now only has the combat power of such an earth level as Viscount Thoth.

If the orcs of the earth rank infiltrate the city and cause damage, it is very likely to cause unimaginable damage to the Hunter family, and Richard is secretly determined to immediately strengthen the garrison of Ironwood Fort.

Then strengthen the inspection of each city, so that both Nightingale and Yusi will strengthen their reconnaissance at the same time, and find out the orcs who may have mixed into the Northland.

After taking on a new mission, Richard left the hall of Congress wearing the Giant Ring, fortunately, there is no summoner profession on this continent, otherwise with Richard's current summoning ability, how can he mix the title of top summoner.

"Your Excellency!"

Richard, who had just walked out of the hall of the Congress, felt a chill for no reason, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a half-crouching blue-white giant,

This should be the Frost Giant rewarded for this mission, but it is worthy of the name Frost Giant, and Richard felt the chill coming from the other party's body as soon as he got closer.

The height of the Frost Giant is slightly shorter than that of the previous Giant, about nine meters to the Brute Bone, but except for the color, the appearance is similar to that of the Giant, wearing the same style of helmet and battle skirt, but the color is a little different, and the short spear on his hand has changed from golden to light blue.

Frost Giant: A biological weapon created by mages based on the snowy environment, which can be used to maximize its strength in the snowfield environment.

Skill 1: Frost Fist (passive), the Frost Giant can inflict frostbite on the enemy during the attack.

Skill 2: Ice Armor (Active), the Frost Giant can condense Frost Armor to block the enemy's attacks in battle. (Mana Cost: 10)

The Frost Giant is a little less physically powerful than the Giant, but it has a little magic ability, and with a stable supply of magic crystals, the Frost Giant's combat power is basically the same as that of the Giant.

After Richard recruited the newly generated troops this week, he was going to go back to Ironwood City first.

This time, he recruited a champion knight, several high-ranking monks and crusaders and other low-level troops, and at present, Richard is not short of these combat powers, and he plans to leave the champion knight and others in Ironwood City as a guarantee, so that even if there are orc elites infiltrating Ironwood Castle, they can have some resistance and no major problems.

Ironwood City

With the continuous improvement of Richard's status, the development of Ironwood City has also entered the fast lane, the original small city of more than 10,000 people, now has tens of thousands of residents, the street is quite prosperous, and even a little crowded.

Fortunately, Richard's ambition when he built the city was not small, originally left a lot of leeway, accommodating tens of thousands of residents is not a problem, the main streets are wide, the city is well-equipped, and the area planning is quite perfect compared to other cities in the world.

It's a pity that the geographical location of Ironwood City is really not ideal, the location is still too far north, next to the Ironwood Forest, mainly as a transit place for timber and mountain goods trading, and the surrounding population is not dense, at that time, there were only two nobles in this area, the Hunter family and the Will family, and the total population of all villages and towns in the two territories is more than 100,000, plus the people and half-elves that have been attracted recently, the population of Richard's earliest place of origin is less than 200,000, and most of them still live in the villages, The development of Ironwood City to this extent is already the limit.

This is also the reason why Richard is now shifting his development focus to the Demon City, compared to Ironwood City, the Demon City has a larger area, more people around, convenient transportation, and is closer to Drifting Snow City and the river valley, and the development potential is higher than that of Ironwood City.

However, although Richard's focus has now shifted to Demon City, the base camp of Richard's power is still Ironwood City, after all, the core officers, the earliest elite soldiers, and officials are all from Ironwood City, and it will take at least a few years to fade this mark.

"Master Richard!"

"Lord Richard!"

"Lord Marquis!"

Richard led people to walk on the main street of Ironwood City, in Ironwood City, horses are not allowed, but they can ride normally, iron hooves on the thick stone paved road make a crunch sound, after a long time in the procession, this crisp hoof sound is still a little pleasant.

Because the Frost Giant was too frightening, Richard still left it in the Boulder Fort for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary panic in Ironwood City, and now he only had a champion knight and a monk crusade with him.

The surrounding civilians all cooperated to get out of the way, and some old people who knew Richard shouted Richard with different honorific titles with some excitement, and Richard also nodded to the crowd as much as possible.

Although it no longer appears in Ironwood City, the people of Ironwood City have not weakened their love for Richard in the slightest, but with the continuous improvement of Richard's strength and status, they have become more and more proud of Ironwood City.

"Young Master Richard is back!"

"Young Master Richard is back!"

"Call the Marquis!"

"The Marquis is back!"

"I don't think it's as kind as Young Master Richard to call Lord Marquis."

“…”

After crossing the main street of Ironwood, Richard finally returned to Ironwood.
