Chapter 15: Ice City
The Continent of the Gods is vast, and Lei Zhen walked along the main road for a whole day, and finally arrived at the nearest cemetery town, Cold Ice City, at dusk the next day.
The walls of Ice City are mainly made of black boulders, with a gate on the east and west. If you look down from the air, you will see that the whole town is shaped like an irregular oblong, like a black panther crawling on the ground, dexterous and mysterious. It feels like it will suddenly jump up at any time and choose someone to devour.
Lei Zhen traveled lightly along the way, day and night, trying to avoid fighting, although there were no accidents, but the body was extra tired. Fortunately, although Ice City is only a small city, as a bridgehead for the cemetery camp and placed in the Templar camp, the strategic significance is very important, so the configuration should be very complete. After Lei Zhen entered the city, he easily found a hotel in the east of the city.
"It's so dark, it costs 5 gold coins for one night!" Lei Zhen complained and had to sigh.
"It's hard to live in the city!" After taking stock of his belongings and removing the 5 gold coins he had spent on staying in the hotel just now, Lei Zhen still had a total of 210 gold coins, 5 silver coins and 3 copper coins left.
"Sure enough, I'm still too poor, and I don't know if the remaining money is enough to recruit soldiers, so let's go to the barracks tomorrow." Lei Zhen thought that it was best to recruit a small team of skeleton warriors, otherwise he was now all ranged troops, and if he was attacked by someone at close range, it would be over, so he couldn't let him go up and be a meat shield.
Yes, Lei Zhen discovered on the way to Cold Ice City that his summoning skeleton warrior spell had actually been upgraded to the full level of 10! The benefit of raising a summoning spell to level 10 is that the minions can enter the second level of evolution.
When summoning a Skeleton Warrior spell level 1-4, it is a skeleton soldier and at levels 5-9 it is a skeleton warrior. When the spell reached level 10, Ray was shocked to find that the one he could summon now was the Skeleton Archer.
Summoning a skeleton warrior (a derivative spell combining summoning spells and spiritualism): Level 10 (full level): Consume 20 points, summon (1 * spirit * 200%) a level 10 skeleton archer to help you fight, summon time: 10min. Currently, it can spend 10 mana and summon 25 skeleton archers (1 base, 10 spirit, medium summoning *200%, green heart staff enhancement +5, summon quantity 1*10*200% + 5 = 25)

Compared to the Skeleton Warrior, the positioning of the Skeleton Archer has changed dramatically. If the positioning of the skeleton warrior is a meat shield and a warrior (night), then the skeleton archer is the ultimate output, and the advanced night blessing + armor-piercing skill makes the lethality of the skeleton archer terrifying at night to catch up with the third-order warriors.
You must know that the skeleton archer is only a first-order class, although it is the most powerful elite class in the first-order class, but which class can burst out of the third-order output ability at the first order.
Although Lei Zhen has not seen what the first-order elite classes in other camps look like, Lei Zhen believes that even among all the first-order elite classes, skeleton archers are definitely among the best. And if it is night, with the blessing of the high-level night blessing, with the output ability of the skeleton archer explosion, it is definitely an invincible existence.
Lei Zhen felt that if he could have 20 skeleton archers when facing Skeletron at that time, killing Skeletron by himself would definitely be the same as playing, and he would definitely not be as embarrassed as he was at that time.
You must know that ranged troops are different from melee troops, there is no such thing as positioning and stucking, and there are always only two ways to attack ranged troops.
The first is to cover the shot, no need to aim, just shoot all the attacks in the specified direction; The second is to concentrate firepower on the target from a long distance, so that the enemy will die directly on the way forward.
In Heroic Legends, the strategic value of ranged units of the same tier of strength is several times higher than that of melee troops. When war comes, the accumulation of long-range arms is often the real weight that determines the tilt of the balance of war.
Of course, Lei Zhen also knows that the skeleton archer is not without weaknesses, accompanied by its extremely fragile defense and meagre health. If you are close to someone, it will definitely die one by one.
Therefore, Lei Zhen is now desperate to recruit a wave of flesh shield soldiers as soon as possible, so that the skeleton archers can safely hide behind for output. And what he is most optimistic about at the moment is the first-order core class of the cemetery camp - Skeleton Warriors, although there is no need to worry that there are no skeleton warriors to recruit in Ice City, but the specific recruitment price is not yet clear.
Lei Zhen still remembers that some time ago someone on the forum complained that the cost of recruiting a level 1 peasant (a first-order class of the Templar faction) in an official town was 30 gold.
"Farmers are just ordinary troops, but skeleton warriors are the core troops, and I don't know how many can be recruited with these more than 200 gold coins, if there are too few, it will have no effect." Lei Zhen muttered while slowly falling into a deep sleep, and the high-intensity combat for several days in a row made his spirit very tired.
Early the next morning, Lei Zhen woke up from a deep sleep, stretched out in satisfaction, and swept away his exhaustion. After asking the specific direction of the first-order barracks in the city, Lei Zhen walked out of the hotel.
Since it was already dusk when Lei Zhen arrived in Ice City yesterday, there were not many pedestrians on the streets. But after going out today, I found that the flow of people back and forth in the city was quite dense, but most of them were undead creatures controlled by people, mostly skeleton soldiers. Occasionally, one or two mid- and high-level undead will appear, which can make people pay attention.
"It seems that whether it is a human or an undead, strength is the main factor that determines social status!" Lei Zhen sighed. Pulling the hood that the hotel had given him in the morning, Lei Zhen walked in the direction of the barracks. (In the Graveyard faction, due to prolonged exposure to undead magic and undead.) Regardless of race, most of them are impregnated with death, causing their faces to be glorious and withered, and people are not like people, and ghosts are not like ghosts. As a result, most of the people in the cemetery camp are covered by hooded robes).
As a border town in Ice City, the barracks configuration is much stronger than some inland towns, not only has all the barracks from the first to fourth levels of the cemetery camp, but also has reached the second level. This means that Lei Zhen can directly recruit all classes below the fourth rank of the Graveyard faction here, as well as their advanced troops.
Don't underestimate that you can only recruit fourth-order troops, you must know that ordinary small towns can only recruit third-order troops and below. (The Midcity can recruit the Fifth Order, the Big City can recruit the Sixth Order, the Royal City can recruit the Seventh Order, and the Cemetery camp only has 6 Royal Cities in total.) )
