Chapter 10 Message II
And Sir Goyo's overly powerful combat power is also explained, it is not his own descendant troops, most of those elite veterans are soldiers belonging to the baron. Generally speaking, at level 5, a Warfighter will gain the first class skill, whether it is a precision shot or a powerful slash, which will make their strength increase dramatically. A fifth-level veteran can deal with three or five third- and fourth-level warriors.
This plane is similar to Norland, with a large number of sapient races, but the difference is that humans are dominant. At least in the area around the Duchy of White Rock. Consistent with Noland, the human kingdom is based on a system that attaches equal importance to hereditary and military force, and in addition to being born in a wealthy family, it is also a way to obtain strong force through guò cultivation and bloody battles. So the martial ethos is similar to that of Noland. But this is undoubtedly another piece of bad news for Richard.
The Principality of White Rock believes in the god of courage, Nei'an, which is a god that has never been heard of including quicksand, and it should be a primordial god belonging to the plane, and it should be a medium god in terms of the number of believers. In addition to the god of courage, there are five or six similar gods that are believed in in the human realm, and ancestor worship is also very common among humans, and it is not much inferior to orcs, elves, etc.
Baron Fosa was a devotee of the god of courage, and a shrine to the god of courage was built in his territory. This time, it was the priest of the God of Courage who received the oracle, so Baron Fossa sent Sir Goyo, who was closest to this side, to set out in a team to hunt down the invaders from the other plane.
The Baron's main force would attack next, and if Sir Goyo lost, they would be the follow-up striking force
Richard and Quicksand walked to the open space in the base, Richard moved a table out, and Quicksand spread the map he had just drawn based on the prisoner's confession on the table.
The location of the forward base is neither good nor bad, about five kilometers or so from the terminal of the road into the mountain. The rugged terrain and dense jungle bushes made it impossible for the mighty cavalry to enter, and even Sir Goyo or a knight could only march to the forward base on foot.
The current location of the forward base is on a somewhat abrupt plateau, with steep slopes on three sides, and only the main entrance of the base is facing a gentle slope. The height of the steep slope reached twenty meters at its highest point, and it was somewhat difficult for ordinary warriors to climb unless they were knights. Overall, the forward base is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The only problem is that once you retreat to the forward base, you are besieged in place.
Richard studied the map, and after repeated calculations, pointed to the town less than twenty kilometers away from the forward base, and said, "If the baron's army has already departed, then it should arrive here tonight." This is the last place to resupply and rest before entering the mountains, and then early tomorrow morning, they will go into the mountains to search for our traces. If we reconnoiter this place tonight, we will know the approximate strength of the enemy. ”
"This time, they most likely brought the priest of the God of Courage, who must be the target of the first order kill. But I don't know if there will be magicians. Quicksand said.
Richard snorted, looked at the distribution of towns and villages in the barony's territory on the map, silently calculated, and said: "It's only been less than a day now, and it won't be too abrupt that Sir Goyo didn't send back the news in time." According to normal judgment, the Jazz's team is equipped with an increased configuration, and it is unlikely that they will be completely wiped out in their concept, so Baron Fossa should not be out of the nest yet. The oracle mentions our numbers and strength, but they don't expect that we have so many people who are good at tracking and killing, so our losses in the first battle are not large. All in all, we should be facing at most about one-third of the baron's strength, about two knights, a dozen knights, and two or three hundred warriors. This is the most likely scenario. ”
After thinking for a while, Richard looked at Quicksand and asked solemnly, "Quicksand, can you tell me how much more of your magic is than a normal priest?" ”
Quicksand raised his head, stared at Richard as well, and said, "Yes." But first of all, talk about your combat power, don't tell me that any mage can fire five powerful fireballs in a row in five seconds. If an ordinary level 8 mage wants to do this, not to mention the problem of casting time, if he can really shoot out the fifth fireball, he will be completely useless. Not to mention the four ferocious boars in the back. ”
Quicksand places special emphasis on the number of four heads.
Richard smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, I have a construct vitality that I have made myself, which can speed up my magic and physical recovery, and can make my ability to manipulate magic a little. I am indeed an eighth-level mage, but my magic power at full state is close to level nine. In Level 3 magic, I focus on fireball, and Level 4 magic is Nature Summoning and Icepick. I can add a cast boost to Fireball, and since the cast cost of a full-powered Fireball is lower than normal, the cast time can be reduced to one second if the cast cost is not reduced. As for the natural summoning, it may be due to my elven bloodline, and when I cast this spell, I tend to get stronger effects than I originally did. The Icicle Technique is not yet fully perfected, it is very powerful, but the full five seconds of casting time is too long, and I have not used it in actual combat. ”
Richard doesn't explain everything here, in fact, it is because of the storage of the string of animal teeth on the wrist, which makes it easier to communicate and capture magical creatures when casting a natural summon, so there is an additional ferocious boar.
"What about the bloodline ability?" asked Quicksand unrelentingly.
Richard pondered for a moment and said, "There is only one awakened bloodline ability, and it explodes. ”
Quicksand lowered his head, his fingers in the air, and after a moment he said, "Well, I know how to fight with you." Okay, now it's my turn. Because of my title of 'Dawn' and my profession as a god, I'm not like an ordinary priest. The first is the amount of divine mana, which you can calculate by three times that of a regular priest. In addition, you should also notice the god tattoo on my forehead, which is a gift I received when I received the title of 'Dawn', and can be regarded as a fourth-order structure. It mainly provides me with a special ability called the Mirror of Time. This ability can change the time flow rate of a single target for a limited period of fifteen seconds. If the cast target is higher than mine, the duration will be shortened accordingly, and targets that are five levels higher than me have half the chance of failing. Targets that are seven levels higher than me are completely ineffective. ”
"What about changing the range of flow velocity?" Richard's eyes lit up.
"It's between three-quarters and one-and-a-half times at the moment, and as my level increases, the power will increase accordingly. ”
"Okay! this will be able to deal with those knights!" Richard was excited, then took a deep look at the quicksand, and said, "It's good that we are not enemies." ”
This time, Quicksand smiled lightly and said, "In the same way, I don't want to be your enemy. ”
Richard smiled, and now he could finally see a silver lining.
