Chapter 183: Returning in Defeat
After completing the selection of the Mythic Path, Barrett shifted his gaze to the newly acquired Sword of Order level. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info As an odd rank, Barrett is able to gain a new character specialty.
However, in the previous ranks, Barrett had already acquired the expertise he wanted. I really don't know what to choose for a while.
The specialization in the weapon specialization class has been selected, and the specialization in the weapon refinement class has no meaning for Barrett.
Specialties such as Homeopathic Slash are not bad when cleaning up miscellaneous soldiers, but being beaten by the 'Iron Heart Flow''s 'Iron Storm' and the following follow-up group attack skills can completely beat Homeopathic Slash and its follow-up expertise to go home and call Mom.
Of course, it's not that Barrett doesn't have the expertise he wants, it's just that with Barrett's current rank, they can't choose any of them. For a moment, Barrett was a little confused.
Maybe I should think about it a different way. If it's hard to strengthen your close-range combat power, should you shift to long-range? Thinking of this, Barrett began to adjust his choice list. Although Barrett's body can't move now, he only needs to use his brain.
'Looks like the only way to choose is to throw beasts. It can be regarded as a little bit of a make-up for the regret of not choosing the Blade of Blood! After a long struggle, Barrett finally made a decision.
Bestial Throwing - Teach people how to throw weapons to lethal effect. After acquiring this feat, when using a throwing weapon, the Strength modifier is added to the attack check instead of the Agility modifier. Previously, the character's attack hit was increased with an agility modifier when using a ranged weapon.
For Barrett, bows and arrows were used far less frequently than throwing weapons. After all, he is a professional in hand-to-hand combat, and it is convenient to throw weapons to assist in combat. If you switch to a bow and arrow, it will be a bit troublesome to use.
After filling in one of his weaknesses, Barrett shifted his attention to the martial arts that needed to be chosen, and Barrett's brain always hurt at this point. Because the trade-off is so painful.
First of all, Barrett ruled out the choice of the Stone Dragon Stream - although Barrett chose the strengthening of the Stone Dragon Flow direction when he was in the Red Iron Rank, there was no good choice for the Stone Dragon Flow in several levels at this stage.
It's not that Shi Longliu's martial arts have not been strengthened at all, it's just that the difference in the magnitude of this improvement is really a bit big compared to other genres. Others are all out of the way, and you only have a slight increase in damage, which is really sorry for the audience!
And the martial arts skills of the white crow flow on the 7 rings are indeed not bad. Whether it's a 'victory horn', a good time, or 'together', it's a sharp weapon for group fighting. But Barrett's current team has too few kitchen knives, and it is not easy to get together soldiers in the army who can cooperate well. In addition, now the preposition of both the 'White Crow Hammer' and the 'War God Charge' has also been completed. Naturally, he had no interest in it.
Although the legendary martial art of killing the hundred-armed giant in the past was derived from the sublimation of the White Crow Stream. But Barrett knew that if he didn't reach the legendary level, the influence of the White Crow Stream martial arts would be limited after all. How much effect can be achieved in the end is too much affected by the environment. That's where you need to make sensible trade-offs.
Therefore, Barrett can only turn his attention to the two genres of 'Iron Heart' and 'Steel Soul'.
The 'Iron Heart' Flow's 7-ring martial art 'Dance of the End' is a very powerful striking move - "You deal a devastating blow to an injured opponent and try to eliminate him instantly. β
Iron Heart has taught the user that it's best to use minimal effort to finish off your opponents, freeing up effort to deal with the remaining enemies. When he uses this technique, he almost gives up defense to make himself extremely aggressive. If this attack is successful, it could end a fight in a matter of seconds.
As part of the martial arts, the Martial Artist performs a melee attack on a creature that deals an additional 4-24 damage. If the target's current health is less than its maximum health, the attack will deal 6-36 additional damage instead of 4-24, and if its current health is half or less of its maximum health, the attack will deal 14-84 bonus damage instead of 6-36.
For the current level, it is difficult for a simple damage enhancement to have much effect. However, once it can be determined that the target is already half HP or less, dealing an additional damage of 14-84 can also turn the quantitative change into a qualitative change. When facing those enemies with rough skin and thick flesh, it can be harvested quickly.
The Snow Sword of the Steel Soul is also an option--The remnant of steel glides through the air, and the weapon in your hand strikes at your opponent, attacking repeatedly. β
Martial artists repeatedly attack single targets. If his attack hits, he can repeat the same attack with supernatural speed, and the blow seen to the naked eye is actually a group of attacks. Unfortunately, if your attack doesn't hit, it will disrupt the rhythm of the move, and the subtle move will become an undisciplined attack.
As part of the move, the Martial Arts requires a melee attack on a single target. If the attack hits, the damage is calculated according to normal rules. He can then continue to attack the same target, but the attack hit check must take a -4 penalty. If the attack hits, he can continue to attack, but the hit check must take a -8 penalty. You can continue to perform additional attacks, each of which must take an additional -4 penalty until the Martial Artist fails to hit the target, or the target's health drops to -1 or lower. All of your attacks must be aimed at the same target.
This specialty is able to inflict a storm of attack on enemies that are not too difficult to hit, but not weak, and can be overwhelmed by a storm in an instant. However, because once you miss, the whole move will end, so it is destined to be impossible to use against the enemy's strong people. However, ordinary soldiers often can't catch Barrett's sword, which makes the range of use of this move a little narrow, making Barrett unable to make up his mind to choose.
And then the 'Shrinking Ground', which is also the 'Steel Soul Stream', is not a striking technique, but a secondary state - 'In the blink of an eye, you have moved. Your speed, reflexes, and confidence allow you to move quickly and bravely, catching your opponents off guard. β
With a burst of energy in his body, the martial artist can move forward to attack, pull out items from his backpack, or perform other movements. His training, mental strength, and speed allow you to move faster and more confidently than other fighters - a fantastic extra move that no one will want to give up.
'On the way of the previous Mythical Fighter, I had the ability to reach the speed of God's speed. If it is combined with 'shrinking the ground', the effect that can be achieved is definitely greater than one plus one. Thinking of this, Barrett finally made up his mind. Although he may be targeted for being overly focused on a certain direction, he is still ready to go further and further on this road.
After completing all the abilities that need to be selected, Barrett puts his final sights on the new class abilities, which include the bizarre dodge of armor that is the same as the Eternal Blade, and the ability that is unique to the Blade of Order, Stable Order.
Bizarre Dodge: From level 3 onwards, as long as the Blade of Order is able to connect with his Covenant Spirit, he will be able to reap the benefits of Intuitive Dodge, which retains his defensive agility bonus when caught off guard or attacked by an invisible attacker. However, if he can't move, he will still lose his defensive agility bonus.
If he already has the Intuitive Evasion ability, he will gain the advanced Intuitive Evasion ability, which will be immune to enemy flanking attacks.
If the Blade of Order loses contact with his Covenant Spirit, he will lose this ability until his Sword Master returns to him again. He can also use Intuitive Evasion or Advanced Intuitive Evasion, even if he is wearing medium or heavy armor.
Compared to the Wanderer's intuitive evasion ability, the Eternal Blade and Order Blade abilities are still effective when wearing medium or heavy armor. The restrictions on use are much smaller.
The 'Stable Order' ability is the same as the Church of the Just's advanced ability of the same name, which negates the following effects: Heroism, Berserk, Dementor Emblem, and any effects of Fear, or the Barbarian's Berserk ability.
If this ability is applied to an unwilling target, the 'Blade of Order' must do a successful melee contact check, and the target can avoid this effect with a successful Will Immunity. However, unlike the Church of the Lord of Justice's unique advancement, the difficulty of the Blade of Order' ability is determined by his strength.
This ability can not only effectively prevent accidents between yourself and your teammates, but also use the enemy's enhanced state, which can be regarded as an offensive and defensive ability. However, the range of use is still a bit narrow.

Georgie, who was riding on horseback, opened the cool white in the kettle, and nibbled a piece of bacon jerky on his left hand. Beef marinated in peppercorns and other spices is smoked and matured in smoke from lit apple sawdust. It tastes pretty good when chewed, the only problem is that it seems to be a little too salty. Even when nuts are taken into account, there is almost no salt in the unleavened bread. But this salt intake, by pre-crossing health standards, seems to be a little too high. However, this kind of meat is not completely air-dried, and it cannot be stored for a long time without curing it with a little salt.
Although Georgie loves food, he also knows the need to abandon his hobby and put up with these unpleasant foods when necessary. Fortunately, the dry food used in the team, although there are criticisms of the taste, but the quality is also excellent. As the saying goes, "Think about the 25,000 Long March if you are not tired, and think about the revolutionary old-timers if you are tired." Compared with these people, Georgie felt that he was also on the march, and the treatment he received was already good enough.
After days of hurrying, at last in the afternoon, Georgie had already seen Brandenburg. The walls are tall and straight, with battlements of arrows two meters wide every few steps. In the holes in the wall beneath the arrowstacks, sticks of ebony that is as hard as iron and extremely resistant to corrosion. They are capable of fighting siege equipment such as ladders to a certain extent.
At the same time, when necessary, a floor bucket was erected, which was a covered wooden structure that could provide an additional layer of protection for the defenders. When war comes, you can build a tower to increase the range of defenses and protect the forts and towers. The defenders were able to stand in and out of the wooden corridor and throw stones, or pour boiling water and quicklime to burn the enemy.
However, the most noticeable change here is that the walls are not straight, but instead have been changed from a convex polygon to a concave polygon, so that attacking any point in the castle will expose the attacker to more than one bastion surface, and the defender can use crossfire to perform multiple strikes. While preventing blind spots, it is also easy to throw more firepower at the enemy's key attack parts.
Moreover, Brandenburg, like Kosdaburg, did not have any shooting holes in the outer wall. However, its entire walls are not made of lapis lazuli, but are made of huge obsidian bricks. In addition, it seems that molten iron is poured while reinforcing with ordinary adhesive. It is said that the internal beams and pillars are also used to strengthen the original obsidian with enchanted steel.
At the same time, in order to strengthen the defensive firepower, huge diamond-shaped towers were built on each wall every 20 meters or so. The towers are covered with cross-shaped shooting holes with round bull's-eye holes and arrow stacks. A considerable number of the openings were larger than the others, and behind the thick walls were the presence of a crossbow and other defensive equipment. As for the secret passages and secret doors used for surprise attacks, they can't be seen from the outside at all.
A little further from the city walls, there was an obsidian tower that was far higher than the other buildings, and it was the command tower of the entire fortress.
The guards patrolling the battlements and the windswept flags on the central tower all show their vitality. Especially those guards, from afar, they can feel a sense of slaughter.
After seeing the building in front of him, Georgie couldn't help but express his heartfelt admiration in his heart. Although in the world before the time-travel, it is not that Georgie has not seen a more imposing building than this. But this is the first time in this world that Georgie has seen such a high level of achievement in ergonomics and architecture. (To be continued.) )
