Great River Woodlands.

A dilapidated machine that is 10 meters high and 3 stories tall is slowly advancing.

It has six wheels, tracks, and eight guarded muzzles at the top.

The whole body of the machine has a lot of pressure valves and exhaust ports.

The machine is driven by the intense consumption of transcendent stones, which is also the core technology of the entire mobile fortress.

Although it looks like a steam style, it's actually superb.

However, because this machine came from ancient times, its original adapted thermal weapons were no longer usable, and were replaced by bows and arrows.

In addition to the thermal weapons, most of the parts of this mobile fortress are also visibly aged, bearing heavy signs of age.

But thanks to the unique materials and sophisticated technology, the patchwork machine can still operate.

Even some of the more sophisticated techniques, such as the technology that consumes supernatural substances to perform [Targeted Vital Signs Monitoring], can still be used.

This is also the reason why the hyena tribe is aware of the mass death of its people.

Of course, this machine is too old and most of the time it works fine, but a few times it still has various glitches.

In charge of the machine are 5 hyena axemen.

There are 8 hyena axemen on the machine platform ready to attack.

There is also the Hyena Axeman, who is responsible for filling the Transcendent Stone and operating the various equipment on the War Machine, plus the 4-star boss of the Hyena Axeman, for a total of 28 units.

The leader of the hyena axemen looked at the tree in front of him that had been toppled by the machine, and sneered, ready to teach the dwarf a lesson.

This machine followed the direction of the [Positioning Equipment] and headed towards the Luosong Plain.

……

After Lu Nan read the prompt, he immediately received Nancy's message.

Her tone was a little anxious: "Did you see that?!" The territory of the Dwarven Clan is about to be attacked! ”

Lu Nan typed in response: "See, I will send Lina over to protect the dwarves."

But the first time I've heard about ancient technology, what is it? ”

Nancy said with nervousness in her tone: "I don't remember clearly, the content of ancient technology is related to the [Expedition Empire].

This part of the memory involves the [First Emperor] who has the priesthood of [Courage] and [Wisdom], and most of it has been erased.

What is certain, however, is that all three planes have gone through a long period of time, and one of the human beings has reached a level of warfare technology that far exceeds the current level.

In short, the situation is very bad, ancient technology has a lot of means to break the enchantment, and it can even drain the transcendent matter of an area, which is very restrained by the enchantment!

The dwarven defense equipment is difficult to resist the attack of ancient technology......"

Holt's voice rang out at this time: "Could you please call another servant as well?"

Ancient warfare technology worshiped explosions, believing that [violent material reactions] were the most powerful weapons.

The damage dealt by their guns is terrifying, but they are usually less agile and are only suitable for large-scale combat, not against flexible targets.

Could you please send that warrior over? It is better suited to dealing with ancient technology.

What a damn ...... We thought it was just a random killing of a few wild transcendent monsters, but we didn't expect to cause this kind of trouble. ”

Lu Nan did not shirk, and was very positive about the safety of the dwarves: "No problem, I'll let it rush back now, but it will take some time." ”

Hott received Lu Nan's simple promise, and a trace of gratitude and warmth surged in his heart.

His view of Lu Nan is also from [strong enough collaborators] to friendship between friends.

If the two sides simply cooperated, then Lu Nan could now take the opportunity to extort a sum of money.

But Lu Nan didn't.

Nancy didn't think about it that much, she prayed with dazed and nervousness, "May the god of forging protect us." ”

Hult proposed, "Let the people pack up their things first, and then the hyena axemen will kill them, and we can leave directly." ”

Nancy is visibly more homesick and unwilling to accept this fact.

But as a lord, her sanity makes the final judgment.

She announced the matter to the dwarves, telling them to pack their things and go to the [Secret Passage] to stand by.

The dwarves also have a reserve territory to the southeast.

Intelligent beings who are not good at fighting have unique means of preserving their lives, and the creed of the dwarves is to always be ready for their next home.

And at this time.

Under Lu Nan's order, Chick immediately rushed back.

Lu Nan scattered the five undead kobolds and headed in different directions to find traces of ancient technology.

The despicable prosthetic eye was also released by Lu Nan.

This may be the strongest enemy Lu Nan has ever encountered so far!

After 40 minutes.

Lina rushed to the vicinity of the Hammer Clan's territory first.

With Linna's presence, the originally panicked dwarves calmed down a lot.

Gavrin wanted to come out and see Lena in person, but was pinned down by his wife.

Soth had already sent Mipoleus to Blackstone Mountain, and then rushed north to pick up Chick.

Agatha was not idle, and like the undead kobolds, she went out on patrol.

Although she has a lot of opinions about Lu Nan and often shows great disdain for Lu Nan's orders, she is still very obedient.

Nino sat on Lu Nan's shoulder, with a little sadness on her little face: "The dwarves will be fine, right?" ”

Lu Nan nodded: "Anyway, there are other territories, it's a big deal to evacuate first, and after I grow up for a while, I will take this territory back for them." ”

Nino asked a little worriedly, "What about us?" Will it be affected as well? ”

Lu Nan typed and analyzed: "Unless the ancient technology mastered by the hyena axe master can fly, or can cross the river, we are still very safe." ”

In addition to the natural barrier in the north, Lu Nan also has the [Dress of Hymn to Life], and there is also a chance to find another territory.

Lu Nan is more curious about ancient technology.

In a tense atmosphere, time flows slowly.

10:45 p.m.

It's been nearly 3 hours since the prompt appeared.

Chikdu had already rushed out of the Hammer Clan's territory.

Lina went to the neighborhood to find scattered transcendent monsters to hunt, collect transcendental stones, and maintain her and Chick's soul fire at full value.

Lu Nan sat in front of the screen and shook his legs.

Nino sat on Lu Nan's shoulder and shook his legs.

The cooling of the streamer hourglass is almost done!

What about people?

Hyena Axeman, where are you? You're not in the vicinity of the Hammer Clan at all!

Lu Nan's undead kobolds, despicable prosthetic eyes, and Agatha have searched all the neighborhood.

Agatha, in particular, has dark vision, and her vision at night is completely unrestricted.

There is no sign of any large machines around at all!

Even the dwarves were nervous at first, and became a little confused.

Gavlin: "Why haven't you come yet?" I'm still waiting to see my eldest brother's minions tear apart the ancient war machine! ”

Hort reprimanded him: "Don't talk nonsense! If you can't fight, it's better not to fight! If we lose, so many of our ores will be gone! ”

Nancy thought about it and contacted Lu Nan: "This is very abnormal.

Hyena axemen tend to move in groups, and generally do not stray too far from their own group.

At a normal pace, the Hyena Axe Bearer must have arrived. ”

Lu Nan pondered for a moment and asked, "Could the ancient technology fail?" ”

Nancy felt unlikely: "The [Expeditionary Empire] has to fight in an extremely complex environment, and the stability and durability of the equipment are extremely high.

In the hint, the Hyena Axemen are going to use ancient technology to attack the Hammer Clan's territory, which proves that their machines are functional.

Normally, there is no failure to the point where it cannot be used. ”

Lu Nan thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Is it possible that they went to the original territory of the Iron Hammer Clan?" ”

The hint states that the Hammer Clan's territory is about to be attacked.

I didn't say which territory!

Nancy was stunned for a moment, feeling that this guess was outrageous with a hint of care.

Is this really possible?

Nancy said uncertainly, "I don't think the hyena clan should make such a stupid mistake...... Right? ”

Lu Nan typed in response: "It's better for me to let Agatha go and see it than to wait like this." ”

After saying that, Lu Nan changed the order to Agatha and asked her to go around the vicinity of [Underground Furnace City].

For Agatha's safety, Lu Nan also asked her to pick up 3 undead kobolds.

In case of some unresolved danger, throw the undead kobold down to attract enemies, and Agatha can look for an opportunity to escape.

Of course, as a lord who loves soldiers like sons, Lu Nan also made some considerations for the undead kobolds.

Lu Nan asked the undead kobold to unload the equipment.

When it's time to run, you can run faster.

Agatha set off quickly.

It's more than 1 hour from here.

We'll have to wait.

Soon, it was 11 o'clock.

Lu Nan took out the streamer hourglass and quickly spent the remaining upgrade time of the [Recitation Cabin].

The prompt appears.

[Event Log:

When you reach level 4 in your building, the "Recitation Cabin" increases all stats of your liege units by 6, Transcendence by 10, and Health by 25.

Your fame spreads wider, so be careful......

You can now gain a new ability. 】

……

Lu Nan was not in a hurry to see the abilities in the [Recitation Hut].

He first upgraded the Merchant's Shop.

When the Merchant's Shop is upgraded, he will be able to become a Level 4 Full Building Lord, unlocking the qualification to upgrade the Lord's Hut!

After upgrading to the building, he looked at the interface of the [Recitation Cabin].

There are three distinctly more lustrous and more translucent gemstones, suspended within the interface.

Lu Nan looked at the attributes of these three abilities in turn.

[Pollution: After inflicting an attack on the target, there is a small chance that the target will be transformed into a "Rampage Undead" based on the opponent's injury, spirit, and race.

*The undead after the soul fire is out of control, known as the rampage undead, all attributes are increased by 100%, but they cannot be restored after the soul fire is exhausted. 】

[Dark Hunt: All your minions will reduce some of their presence, and they will be less likely to be detected by other units]

Bone Enhancement: All your minions gain 50 Strength Bonus.

……

All three seem to be useful.

But the first two abilities are obviously suitable for other systematic combat methods.

[Pollution] is more suitable for the way to run after the fight and fight by trigger probability.

Stack a few more special effects that have a probability of triggering, this style of play, Lu Nan feels that it can also be used.

But this style of play depends on luck.

[Dark Hunt] is suitable for a combat system that focuses on stealth.

Skills that have additional bonuses from sneak attacks are suitable for [Dark Hunt].

Although Lu Nan has a cautious personality, unconsciously, the card deck has obviously embarked on a hard-nosed style.

Now Lu Nan needs to be purified, needs critical strike chance and critical damage, and also needs to give the minions the ability to save their lives on the whole to increase fault tolerance.

The 50-point strength bonus of [Bone Enhancement] is actually not low.

Those lords in the forum who were beaten by 2-star transcendent monsters with blue noses and swollen faces, take a [Bone Enhancement] and bring more low-level minions, which can directly kill 2-star transcendent monsters.

But Lu Nan had already passed the early stage that was difficult for the other lords.

Now Lu Nan, even if he wants the ability or card of [Strength Bonus], it has to be a percentage bonus, and he will only want it.

This fixed value bonus, or forget it.

Lu Nan looked at the transcendent stone needed for refresh ability.

150 at a time?!

It's better to grab it!

Although the abilities in the [Recitation Cabin] have obviously become better, the increase in consumption from a refresh still makes it a little difficult for Lu Nan to accept.

Fortunately, there are many transcendent monsters near the [Underground Furnace City], and Lu Nan's transcendent stone income should be good in the next few days.

Give it a brush.

Lu Nan clicks to refresh.

3 new abilities appear.

[Dark Spell: After dealing damage to the target, there is a chance to cause the target to enter the "blind" state, losing 90% of their vision for 3 seconds]

[Bone Spur: When the Lord's unit is attacked, release the Bone Spur, dealing 5% of the attacker's power as magic damage, this effect can be triggered every 1.5 seconds]

[Active Characteristics: When the minion enters the battle, the undead supernatural matter in the body will be active, and the effect of increasing all attributes by 3% and soul fire consumption by 10% will be obtained

*This effect is not affected by purification and exorcism.

……

The first two abilities are still very good.

[Dark Spell] is very disgusting, Lu Nan actually wants it very much.

It will be fun to watch the enemy turn blind.

[Bone Spur] is also good, you can play with taunts and anti-damage.

[Active characteristics] is very general, pure bonus ability, strength only depends on the value of the bonus.

3% is too low.

It also increases the soul fire consumption by 10%.

However, Lu Nan still did not choose among these three abilities.

After all, the ability of the [Recitation Cabin] is only one for each level of promotion.

And it can't be reset.

Decks can even be restarted as long as they get enough opportunities to erase cards.

The ability of the [Recitation Hut] is not good.

Therefore, this ability must be broad enough to be effective in the later stages, and be less affected by deck changes.

Lu Nan refreshed it again.

If it doesn't work this time, forget it.

3 new abilities appear.

And among these 3 abilities, the gem that represents the first ability is obviously different, it exudes a faint gray-white light!

[Turbulent War Intent (Rare Ability): All minions, summons, and subordinate units, the chance of triggering a Heart Strike is increased by 30%]

[Aura of Tenacity: All minions, summons, and minions gain 25 damage reductions]

[Budget-conscious: When using all cards, the consumption of transcendent values is reduced by 50%]

Lu Nan did not hesitate and chose the surging battle intent!

This ability is so suitable!

300 Transcendent Stones are worth it!

When Lu Nan made his choice, the gem fell into the chanting hut.

Including Lu Nan, all territorial units have a 30% increased critical strike rate!
