Chapter Seventy-One: Besieged
Of course, he didn't dwell too much, regardless of whether it was normal or not, it was a good thing for himself anyway.
After all, the value of fine loot is definitely much stronger than a pile of useless loot, and if he could, he thought that this strange luck could continue like this forever.
A total of five loot.
The Pyro card must be used, and it just so happens that there is still a hero quota in his divine domain, and it just so happens that there is a shortage of a hero now.
A two-star French hero is actually quite good, and besides, he can also fuse an Origin Light with a large number of other treasures to raise the rank of a new hero.
For example, get another dragon bloodline, plus the Warlock Professional Hero Transformation Card, and a source light, directly merge a dragon vein warlock.
When the time comes, there will be a dragon vein fighter close to the dragon guard, and there will be a dragon vein warlock in the law system, and the two will be invincible.
It is worth mentioning that this kind of hero transformation card is only useful for the subordinate troops, and cannot be effective for Xie Heng and Xie Jin.
The reason is that the two of them are professionals of the human destiny civilization, and their rank has been fixed, if they want to become heroes, they must take out precious treasures to sacrifice to the Tree of Eternity to obtain favor or divine grace, and exchange these favors for the mandate of heaven in order to improve their rank and become heroes.
The same goes for War Lords, if the Human Destiny Hero can get enough divine grace, he can also become a War Lord the day after tomorrow.
Yes, it is charism.
There are only three outcomes of sacrificing to the Tree of Eternity.
One is that the sacrificial stuff is too rubbish and is punished.
One is that the sacrifice is qualified, but the value of the sacrifice is not too high, so that you will get different points of favor, which can be exchanged for various good things, such as expanding the area of the god domain, etc.
The third is that the sacrifice is of very high quality, and the Eternal Divine Tree is very satisfied, and it will bestow divine graces.
The effect of divine grace is very powerful, and you can obtain treasures beyond the imagination of ordinary people, including the possibility of making you a god on the spot with the primordial and pure godhead, such as the War Lord's divine domain, which is also a kind of divine grace.
Because of the preciousness of divine grace, although it is theoretically possible to become a warlord, in practice this is extremely rare.
Unless some god is very fond of a certain junior, it may be possible to pay this price.
But in reality it is only possible, and I have never heard of a few.
At least Li Qing would not have such thoughts.
Maybe when the strength is strong in the future, the professionals under his command will serve him for dozens or hundreds of years, and they will work hard and earnestly, or directly make great contributions, and he will spend some favor to help them become heroes of the destiny.
But the War Lord's Mandate is basically impossible.
The second Lord's Guard card is for your own use, and this can be summoned at some point and pulled up to be used as cannon fodder.
There are a total of six fourth-order troops and sixty third-order troops in three rounds, but they are not weak elites, and they are very good for attacking fortifications.
The War Magic Scroll Card is temporarily left in his hand, and when he goes back to An Erqiu, he and Xie Zhu are the only two heroes in his hands who can lead the army alone, but he is loyal to him earlier than Xie Zhu, so he naturally has priority.
As for that little hero skill point.
Li Qing pondered for a long time, and finally decided to give it to Long Shou.
There's no way, his strength is limited by mana, and the level increase speed is not as fast as Long Shou's bloodline system.
So far, he has accumulated enough mana to advance to the fourth order, but his combat experience is only the third order.
It's better to save it for yourself, and it's better to immediately enhance the strength of Long Shou.
Long Shou is the strongest card under his hands now, and he may have to deal with the snake man mage next, and the current Long Shou is still a little reluctant, and he may not be able to play.
Adding a Hero Skill Point can greatly increase his strength by adding new Bloodline Talents or strengthening existing Bloodline Talents.
Summoning Long Shou and activating the hero skill point card, the card collapsed into a ball of clear light and submerged into his body.
Then Li Qing opened the attribute panel of Long Shou, and saw that a new selectable skill appeared in the hero skill point.
Click on it and three options appear.
They are all old acquaintances, namely Dragon Breath LV3, Dragon Scale LV3, and Dragon Wing LV2, and no new options have appeared.
According to the previous rules, the new option will appear when Long Shou is promoted to the sixth order, and there is a high probability that there will be a very powerful option at that time - turning into a dragon.
This option is available to both the Dragon Vein Warlock and the Dragon Vein Fighter, regardless of the strength of the bloodline, when at the Sixth Transcendent Rank.
Therefore, although he obtained the sixth hero skill point, because he failed to promote to the sixth order of transcendence, the new specialty is still a regular type.
Li Qing's gaze swept over the three options, and after a little thought, he chose Dragon Scale LV3.
Dragon Scale LV3: Activates the power of the dragon's bloodline, grows a layer of hard dragon scales on the surface of the body, reduces all damage by 40%, is immune to spells below the sixth ring, and reduces the duration of all negative status by 60%.
In addition, the hero skill point comes with a specialty to choose from, which is matching, and the hero skill point that Li Qing has also comes with an additional specialty.
Li Qing's eyes fell on the three specialties of Dragon Scale LV3, and he was about to routinely choose Dragon Scale to reduce damage, but he found that one of the three specialties refreshed this time appeared a golden specialty.
Option 1: Gain +5% damage reduction for dragon scales.
Option 2: -10% duration for all debuffs.
Option 3: Fire Immunity (Mythic)
"Good stuff!"
There was no need to hesitate, Li Qing immediately chose the third option - Flame Immunity.
Dragons are immune to fire-related spell effects, which makes sense.
Just getting an extra hero skill point is not a rank increase, and the strength of the dragon guard has not increased, but the dragon scale talent has been increased to LV3, which has skyrocketed his survivability, especially fire immunity, which is an epic strengthening.
In the future, when facing enemies with fire as the main means, it is directly blood, such as fire elementals.
After completing the choice, Li Qing was in a good mood and had more confidence in the next battle.
After only one day of waiting, the next morning he ordered his troops to set off again, targeting another snake town.
Although he didn't know why the snake man city not far away didn't support it, it didn't affect his plan.
If you support, kill the Snake Master Mage.
If you don't support, you will keep attacking the nearby snake towns, and it will be up to you to see who can't survive first.
This time, the target was located in a town more than thirty kilometers west of the snake man city, more than fifty kilometers away from this town, and the team set off directly along the main road, without looking at the snake man lord not far away.
However, when he had just left the town less than five kilometers, Xie Jin, who was exploring the way ahead, quickly returned and shouted from afar:
"Boss, the main force of the snake people is assembled in front!"
When he came, he took a breath and said in a loud voice:
"It's not that the snake people city doesn't support, but they have mobilized a large army to intercept us."
Li Qing immediately ordered the team to stop and asked:
"How's the scale?"
"The specifications are very large, you can't see the head at a glance, they are all regular troops, there are a large number of regular armoured snakemen in plate armor, jackals and lizardmen servants, there are two very large monitor lizards, with armor and mount equipment on them, it is estimated that they are two war beasts."
"Two war beasts?"
Li Qing pondered for a moment and decisively ordered:
"It seems that they are ready, they can't go ahead, they are ready to retreat, retreat to the town and defend the city."
As soon as the words fell, he suddenly sensed something and looked behind him, and suddenly a huge pillar of light fell from the sky in the direction of the town a few kilometers away, and then a huge old snake man phantom appeared, staring at Li Qing with a cold gaze.
"Snake Master Man!"
Li Qing immediately realized that there was no way to escape, and decisively ordered:
"Everyone be ready for battle!"
After saying that, he rode his horse to the front of the troops, stretched out his hand and held it, and a huge whirlpool appeared in front of him, and then a huge black shadow fell from the sky to the ground, making a huge sound and shaking the ground.
A square wall ten meters high, ten meters wide, and ten meters long.
This was only the first section, and he continued to summon the same sections of the wall to swing down.
Fortunately, there is farmland everywhere, and the ground is quite flat, so it doesn't affect it if it's slightly different, but the city wall is slightly high and crooked, which doesn't affect the placement.
Fourteen sections of the city wall were taken out in one breath and surrounded into a small city with a side length of 60 meters and a width of only 30 meters.
By the time all this was done, the enemy strikers had penetrated the mist and appeared in their field of vision.
This is an extremely large regular army, definitely the elite under the command of the snake man nobleman recently, and there is no edge in sight from left to right.
In the center of the large procession were two large shadows approaching each other, two monitor lizards, with a wooden backhouse on their backs, a row of ballistas fixed in front of the back, and many archers, crossbowmen, or spearmen standing behind them.
As the distance got closer, Li Qing also saw that there were two floors on the back floor of the monitor lizard, of which the lower floor on the left was a ballista and a long-range archer, and on the upper floor stood a snake man nobleman wearing gorgeous armor, and on the right stood a beautiful female snake man mage who could not hide her bewitching figure in a gorgeous robe, and on the side was a well-equipped snake man guard.
When the distance between the two sides was only about a hundred meters, the huge snake man army slowly stopped, and the snake man nobleman walked to the back tower and held the guardrail to look at the city that appeared inexplicably in front of him, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Glancing back at the female snake man mage on the side, he asked:
"When will there be a city here?"
The female snake man mage shook her head and said:
"Maybe it's these spells unique to the Terrans, didn't the Empire find out in many places within the plane that they could summon a city out of thin air!"
"But this one doesn't quite look like theirs."
No one answered, because they couldn't answer, and this was the first time they had seen such a situation.
However, they didn't dwell on it for too long, after all, at this time, they poured out to intercept the enemy halfway, and they had plenty of confidence and certainty.
Hashim, a serpent nobleman, was the ruler of the city of Hashem and its surrounding five towns and more than thirty villages.
However, with the invasion of the foreign terrans, villages and towns were constantly plundered by the foreign terrans, and a large number of territorial people were killed.
At first, there was no counterattack because the strength of the invading Terrans was too strong, and the kingdom had reached an agreement with the leaders of the invading Terrans not to attack them if they did not take the initiative to attack.
The reason why the underground tribal alliance located under the mainland is suddenly ready to move for some reason, and a large number of underground tribal alliances have appeared in the underground passages and the largest underground fortresses.
Some time ago, the underground passage under another noble domain was suddenly lost, and the city of the Mentor was destroyed by a sneak attack by the dastardly Terran invaders, which made him extremely angry.
is also extremely frightened, for fear that one day he will follow in his footsteps.
For this reason, he raised the level of territorial alert, and the main force was in a state of semi-war all year round, ensuring that it would be able to go out in a short time.
The day before yesterday, he received the news that a human had attacked the town of Haweim, and he immediately ordered Baron Haweim to hold on for two days, and the reinforcements would arrive soon.
But unexpectedly, the useless Baron Hawim could not hold on for a day, resulting in the destruction of the town of Hawim.
Fortunately, these human invaders were greedy and did not flee after capturing the town of Hawim, but continued to prepare to enter another town, which allowed them to seize the opportunity to intercept.
Although I don't know how the human invaders managed to get a new city out, at this time, I have an absolute advantage, and with the support of Master Kending, I will definitely be able to wipe out these despicable human invaders.
With a long breath, the Great Lord of Hashway shouted loudly to the city ahead:
"Evil Terran invaders, you destroy my city, kill my people, and in the witness of the great king of the snake people, I will kill your subordinates and cut off your head!"
He spoke the language of the snake man, but it was strange that Li Qing could understand it.
However, he did not respond, but ordered the troops to prepare for battle.
Although the number of troops is not superior, and the quality does not seem to be superior, the strength of this snake man is stronger than he imagined, at least he never knew that these snake man nobles would also raise war beasts, but Li Qing is not much vain.
At least it won't show itself.
He is a lord, and if he is afraid, the morale of his subordinates will definitely fall to the bottom.
Moreover, the superiority of troops has never been absolutely related to victory or defeat, although in most cases the superior side wins, but the weak victory over the strong also happens from time to time.
Even if that might not seem like much, you'll have to fight it first.
With a long, incomprehensible shout, the snake man side sounded the earth-shattering war drums, and the huge army began to slowly disperse, and a large number of servant troops were ordered by the snake man officer to disperse to the other two sides of the city to form an encirclement.
At the same time, in the rear, a slow-moving force could be seen approaching in the haze.
When the Serpent army completed the encirclement on three sides, it gradually became clear that the army in the rear that had teleported to the Snake Man town was actually a puppet army.
Most of them are dirt golems, about two meters in size, with a shield on the left arm and a long sword on the wrist of the right arm, and dense rune lines on the body surface to form a glowing network to wrap the clay golem in it.
The main purpose of this magic circle is to strengthen the body of the clay golem and maintain the integrity of the body.
After all, it is a puppet made of mud, and it can be scrapped by raining without a magic array.
The strength of the dirt golem is equivalent to that of a third-tier class.
Among these dirt golems, there are many rock golems that are much larger and made of rocks throughout.
The rock puppet is three meters high, has no shield, is full of stones and does not need a shield, and the ends of both arms are two-handed long swords, that is, dual-wielding two-handed swords, which are combat types at first glance.
The strength of the rock golem is equivalent to that of a fifth-order class.
