Once you've chosen your goal, there's nothing to hesitate about.

Upgrading a Combat Mana Golem from Premium to Expert requires 1600% energy. The Iron Giant avatar requires 800% energy.

It happened to be all the energy he had just gained, which was one of the reasons why Rhodes chose these two enhancements.

There are no earth-shattering changes in the upgrade process.

The physical attributes have reached the very top, and the Iron Giant incarnation can no longer enhance the physical attributes, so naturally there is no need to tear and reconstruct the body.

It's just that the special effects Iron Giant transformation has changed.

The strength stat has changed from 25 to 30, the Constitution stat bonus has changed from 20 to 25, the agility bonus has remained 10, the defense bonus has changed from 8 to 10, and the recovery rate of Earth Power has not changed.

Rhodes' strongest defense level reached 20.

When a Combat Magic Golem reaches Expert level, the Golem's Innate Defense is doubled to +4/Expert Perfection.

It's just that when it comes to choosing the expert-level special effects of the combat magic puppet, Rhodes is a little hesitant.

The fourth-level defense is still a little too low, not to mention many semi-liberated magic guides, even many ordinary magic guides have no way to defend well, so after hesitating for a few breaths, Rod resolutely gave up the special effects that focused on attack and mobility with the original idea of learning this spell.

The last thing he lacks is magic power, so there is no need to think about the mobility at all, and without re-summoning, the number of summons of seven thousand at a time is enough to eliminate the shortcomings of insufficient mobility.

What's more, the speed of a battle puppet with a physical attribute of forty-five points is not slow.

As for the attack power, the Battle Golem already has a high-level armor-piercing perk that can ignore the fifth level of defense. The Vajra Body can also provide an additional level of offense and defense, which is more than enough to deal with most human professionals.

Even if it is a magic guide equipment, in order to facilitate human use and other factors, the defense power is actually not as high as expected, as long as it is aimed at vulnerable parts such as joints, it can still break through with high armor piercing.

So there's no need to increase the attack power.

Therefore, in terms of expert special effects, Rod chose a special effect called 'Quasi-Elf Skin'.

The effects are: Specular Reflection, Defense +10.

Let's be honest.

The special effect of specular reflection is the main reason why Rohder Finn chose it.

Specular reflections that reflect spells, skills, and energy attacks.

Energy projectiles that reflect magic weapons.

Simone's magical cannon strike is also theoretically reflective.

As long as it is within the energy intensity that the battle golem can withstand, it will still be able to reflect even if the attack level exceeds the defense level.

For most human magic weapons that habitually condense energy into a single point, the mirror reflection happens to be its nemesis, the energy intensity is not high, but the attack level is very high.

Of course, magic weapons are usually equipped with physical ammunition, but high-level physical ammunition is real money, and the main means of attack of magic weapons is still energy ammunition, while battle puppets only need to have enough magic power to summon, which is a natural advantage in cost.

Talking a lot, the actual time that has passed is shorter than breathing, Rod opened his eyes, looked at Daphne, who had swallowed the crystallization of divine power, and immediately stood up with interest.

"If you're all right, come to the drill ground and help me test the performance of the battle golem."

Simone's eyes widened for a moment.

"You're so jealous."

Out of the corner of her eye, Simone's eyes lit up as she glanced at the TV and thought of the city guard fighting the evildoers.

"If I'm not mistaken, it must have something to do with magic weapons."

Rod laughed and didn't deny it.

"You're right, I've transformed the battle golem, and now it should be able to defend against magic weapons and spells, I want you to test it."

The appearance of the new battle puppet has not changed much, but the skin has become more shiny, the appearance has become more beautiful, and the power of the influence has decreased severely, which is considered a small disadvantage of elven spells.

The results of the test were encouraging, and the attacks of conventional spells and magic weapons were able to easily make amends, but after Simone and the three were at full fire, the battle golems were still destroyed in an instant.

Seven days passed quietly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for the military exercise to begin, that is, three days before the start of the scientific expedition.

According to official statistics and predictions, on the day of the premiere of the military exercise, the number of viewers is expected to exceed 60 percent of all mankind.

Rhodes sat boredly on the dormitory couch, Simone watched the TV seriously, and Daphne and Marianne's little faces flushed with excitement.

Simone glanced at Rod.

"What? Seven days without being asked by the king to do something, so the mood is very unhappy, or is the honorary captain still nostalgic for the life of the city guard, so he is dissatisfied with returning to campus life? ”

Rhodes sat up straight.

"Of course, there is nothing to do afterwards, but I always feel a little unwilling."

"Unwilling? I remember that the title of Honorary Captain seems to be still in your possession. ”

"It has nothing to do with this, after all, it's such a big thing as a military exercise, and we have done a lot of things, why didn't we be invited to play?"

"This is the result of course, this military exercise is a magic guide technology, a magic guide technology that ordinary people can master. And we, after the rendering of that group of reporters, have long been labeled as having strong individual combat effectiveness. ”

“…… Can ordinary people easily defeat the magic techniques of professionals...... The most important thing in this world is ordinary people, and what can have a stronger deterrent power than them. ”

The TV screen changed, and Marianne's eyes suddenly brightened: "Nina, Salina." ”

Rhodes looked at the television, which showed two streamlined armors flying in mid-air at breakneck speed, holding a magic guide weapon with a very long barrel in their hands, and performing complex acrobatic moves as they flew.

"Have you seen it, this is a new type of battle armor developed by the Kingdom of Sartre, which can not only fly, but also has a fuselage ...... as flexible as a human."

As the host spoke, the two armors had already raised their barrels, and the huge magic guide cannon was like a sniper rifle that had been magnified more than ten times.

Like a man wielding a sniper rifle, the armor raises a sniper cannon like a man.

The target is a spell-made rockery, twenty meters high.

"Look, everyone, this is a new type of magic cannon developed by the Kingdom of Sutter that is specially used in battle armor, codenamed Sniper Gun Type I, and the attack level has reached 1280."

Rumble!

Rumble!

With an earth-shattering loud sound, the barrel of the cannon shot out two thick red beams, one up and one up, one left and one right, and instantly hit the mountain of the artificial rockery.

Boom! Rumble!

The red beam of light suddenly exploded at the same time as hitting the rockery, and the extremely high temperature flames instantly swept the entire rockery, and after a few seconds, the flames disappeared, and the rockery also disappeared.

Turn on the armor's stealth ability, follow the predetermined route back to the starting point, and be greeted by the huge cheers of the audience.

Nina and Sarina, who were wearing tight driving suits, jumped out of their armor, and their beautiful and slender appearance made the audience burst into stronger cheers.

The whole presentation was very smooth and there was not a single error, not even Rod could find a mistake.

"The attack level of 1280, hehe, you say, if this attack hits us, will we still survive."

Although it is a question, the tone is affirmative.

Daphne raised her head haughtily: "Hmph, that's needless to say, it's a natural result." ”

Marianne shook her head and nodded, "Unless, annihilate the soul." ”
