Lord Highlander

   Chapter 778 767. Trend

  Recently, something has spread rapidly in the barracks.

   Hudson, who broke a leg on the battlefield, was not only rescued by Commander Suldak, but even his broken left leg was connected...

   Not only that, the veteran Hudson was able to get out of bed and walk with a cane in just three days.

I heard that all of this seems to be due to a magical magic pattern on the merit exchange list, and that magic pattern needs 30,000 merits to be exchanged, and it ranks among the top three on the merit list of the military camp. In order to keep Hudson's left leg, the judge allowed him to owe a huge debt.

  Now Hudson is carrying a huge debt, and he can't wait to return to the battlefield to earn merits.

  The four ghost ant queens in Dodan Canyon jointly controlled the ant colony in the canyon, and they were able to move forward and backward freely, and the tide-like ant colony became more and more powerful.

  However, because Suldak's holy light technique can quickly heal injured soldiers, the soldiers guarding the northern city wall were very brave, and forcibly blocked hundreds of thousands of ants from the northern city wall.

Within a week, the corpses of the ghost pattern worker ants were turned into ashes outside the city, and the ghost pattern soldier ants became the most basic monster materials, and were transported by Suldak to Hailansa City in batches. He gave Hailan The first order for the leather workshop in Sacheng was to customize 500 sets of full-covered hard leather battle armor from Gubolaima.

The number of giant ghost-striped soldier ants in the ant colony is not too many, but this kind of ghost-striped soldier ants are advanced and have the strength of a second-level monster. At the same time, you can find a kind of strength and tenacity coexisting from their legs. The life magic pattern is considered to be the most valuable ant clan at present.

In the recent period, twelve ghost-striped males have been hunted and killed one after another, half of them were killed by explosives thrown by catapults. This kind of ghost-striped males have super thick armor, even with Even magic crossbow bolts cannot penetrate their hard armor.

  Because Suldak found under the armor plate where the back shoulder of the ghost-striped male ant connects to the head, it can directly stab the brain of the ghost-striped male ant, the threat of this giant red ant to the northern city wall has been greatly reduced.

   It's just that this kind of ghost-striped male ant has nothing precious except that it contains a magic core in its body.

  The hard armor itself is too thick, so it is not suitable for making, but if it is used in siege equipment, it is still a good choice.

  As for the queen ant, only one has been successfully hunted down so far. In addition to obtaining a piece of precious high-grade leather, she also obtained a high-level life sigil, which may be Suldak's biggest harvest so far.

  The only regret is that the head did not stay.

  …

Ten catapults take turns throwing explosives out of the city every day, but even this cannot stop the onslaught of the ant colony. The ant colony has begun to master the rhythm of the attack. They will launch a wave of rapid counterattack after a wave of explosives explodes .

  In just a few days, the green grass blanket outside the city has long been turned into a piece of scorched earth, and the residual skin and limbs of red ants are everywhere.

The attack of the ant colony is getting more and more urgent day by day, and the soldier ants in charge of the charge are becoming more and more crazy. Andrew and the ogre Gullitum have been guarding the north city wall these days, even eating and sleeping on the city wall .

  Samira told the two of them to be in better condition. At least they knew that after the early morning fog cleared, they returned to the camp to take a shower, and then slept until noon before returning to the city wall.

  In view of the battle situation on the city wall, Adams and Gallatin will not walk down the city wall until after midnight these days.

  The number of mercenaries guarding the city wall has increased from twenty to forty. At this time, all the mercenaries who can stand at the top of the city are almost all veterans with rich combat experience, except for the first-rank fighters.

Even so, on the night of the eleventh day when the ant swarm attacked the northern city wall, he saw that the city was crowded with ghost-striped soldier ants. After repelling the 17th wave of attack by the ants, Suldak decided to ignite the fire wall under the city again. .

  …

  With the firewall, the city wall has returned to the situation where the two captains are on duty.

  During this period, he had been trying to find opportunities to assassinate the queen, but looking at the tide-like ant colony below the city wall, even if he wanted to secretly sneak into the canyon below the city, it was difficult to do so.

  Aphrodite used the summoning scroll to come to the barracks in Dodan Town at night to find a way with Suldak and others.

This time the wall of fire burned for a whole week, and under the pressure of defending the city was greatly reduced, a lot of achievements have been accumulated. The leather armor made of second-level monster leather stored in the resident warehouse has been exchanged, and everyone is eager to upgrade. own strength.

  In this case, the stronger the fighter's personal combat power, the more achievements he will get.

   In addition, Suldak also took out a large number of magic crystals as rewards.

  …

  The mercenaries on the city wall have also gained a lot in the past few days. Every time they kill a ghost pattern soldier ant, they can take away the magic core in the skull.

Almost every one of these mercenaries is wearing a half-set of magic-weave outfits, and their personal strength is super strong. Almost all of them are guarded in groups of three or four on the east and west sides of the north city wall, and are responsible for blocking the ghost-weave red ants that climb up the city wall. .

During these sixteen days, the mercenary team that harvested the most harvested almost ninety magic cores, cut out fifty magic spar stones and hundreds of magic spar fragments from them, and such income was almost It is more than the annual income of most mercenary groups.

All the mercenaries in the town were extremely hot-eyed, and almost all the mercenaries wanted to crowd onto the city wall to reap benefits. For this reason, the president of the mercenary union stood guard at the gate of the small building where the barracks was stationed every day, but in the end he finally persuaded Su Erdak, the magicians in the mercenary team are not limited by their quota.

  In this way, there are almost seven or eight magicians standing on the watchtower on the city wall every day. They throw fireballs down the city wall from time to time.

   What I have to say is that since these magicians are stationed on the city wall in turn, the consumption of fire scale bullets has been greatly reduced.

  The mercenaries directly took out the magic core from the head of the killed ghost pattern worker ants, and all the remaining things had to be handed over to the barracks, so the mercenaries could not enjoy the merit points in the barracks.

  …

  During the battle, another six veterans who were at the first level of strength were accidentally injured one after another. After owed a huge debt to the cavalry battalion, Suldak planted life magic lines for these veterans one after another.

  The wounds on their bodies healed very quickly, and they went back to the battlefield.

A few veterans who possessed the blessings of God's Blessed Body and the life magic pattern of "Strength and Tenacity" broke out their powerful combat power in the battle of the city wall. They held a tower shield in their hands and a bulky The flail, almost every time he took the lead and rushed to the forefront.

  Under the surge in power, these first-rank veterans can almost even use flails to smash the heads of ghost-striped soldiers ants, and use tower shields to directly clamp them on the wall stack, allowing the spearmen behind to complete the kill.

  Seeing the surge in strength of the veterans in the cavalry battalion, the soldiers in other combat regiments were very jealous.

   But the fighters in other wargroups don't have such preferential treatment, because they are seconded troops, unless they have collected 30,000 merit points, otherwise Suldak will not implant magicweave breeding equipment on them.

In just half a month, Gallatin finally collected 30,000 merit points, but half of these merit points belonged to Adams. Gallatin chose the card that was enhanced by the Moonblade Fire Wolf King. Explosive life magic pattern.

  Galatin and Adams were graduates of the Benner Advanced Knight Academy at the same time, and their fighting styles were similar before.

But now the fighting styles of the two have taken two completely different paths. Adams, who has the magic pattern of life that enhances the recovery power, pays more attention to the one-handed heavy sword and the knight's heavy shield, while Gallatin, who has the magic pattern of life that enhances the explosive power, is incomparable. Aggressively, he chose a double-edged sword. It is said that Gallatin can cut off the head of the ghost pattern soldier ant with a full blow.

  Galatin never imagined that just adding a simple magic pattern on his body would actually increase his combat effectiveness so much.

"I heard Baron Suldak say that if you can break through level 20 and become a powerhouse of the second rank, you can also implant a stronger magic pattern on your body, but after becoming a powerhouse of the second rank, the things you can choose are only More, when we have the fighting spirit, we can also choose to let the inscription master draw the magic pattern structure on the body." Adams stood at the top of the city, holding a shield with one hand to block a ghost pattern soldier ant.

  While it opened its claws, it cut down with a sword, and a crack was cut out of the claws of the ghost-striped soldier ant.

The body of the ghost-striped soldier ant protruded from under the city wall, and wanted to spray acid and putrefaction at Adams in severe pain, but he didn't notice a knight holding a double-edged sword approaching beside him. The ghost-pattern soldier ant's head fell down immediately with just a slight push with both hands.

Gallatin was very proud. He stepped on the skull of the ghost soldier ant that was still dripping with brown blood, and said next to Adams: "This is your idea. I think that if this beast swarm lasts for a long time A little bit, I might even construct a set of magic patterns for myself."

  …

Recently, the wind circle on Samira's body is no longer a thin round line under her feet, but a wind wall with a spiral shape and constantly rotating around her lower body. The Qi she feels is not pure, nor is it pure. Instead of being close to the water and nature that the elves are friendly with, but being able to feel the existence of wind in the breath of contact.

  After possessing the powerful life-type magic pattern of the Great Demon Ape, Samira's road to promotion in the first rank was almost smooth all the way.

  A few days ago, there was a second-rank powerhouse like Vilu who was guiding her, which actually made her take a completely different path. Elves are naturally good at bows and arrows. It is not surprising that she has a very high talent for bows and arrows.

   But now she has begun to try to perceive the wind element, and can gather around her body, this is a good start.

To be promoted from a first-rank magician to a second-rank magician, two conditions need to be fulfilled: the first point is to allow oneself to possess the body of elements, and the second point is to have a certain degree of affinity with the elements, so that one can enter the world of elements for a short period of time and interact with the elements. Elemental creatures in the world enter into some sort of magical pact.

   Only in this way can one be promoted to become a second-rank magician. After becoming a second-rank magician, one can get in touch with fourth-level magic.

Many fourth-level magics belong to group magic. The magic power in the magic pool in the magician's body is limited. After possessing the elemental body, the magician's body can become a bridge to summon the elemental contract partner, and the elemental contract partner will draw magic power from the elemental world. Inject it into the magician's body, and assist the magician to cast the fourth-level magic.

   There are also two conditions for a person who has been transferred to a combat job to be promoted to a strong person who has been transferred to a second job.

Many first-rank fighters can always reach the peak of the first-rank nineteen through hard work, but if they want to break through the 20th rank and become a second-rank strong, they must meet two conditions. The first point is that the fighters need to improve their perception Strength, fighters need to feel the qi that exists around them. Possessing battle qi is one of the prerequisites for them to enter the second-rank powerhouse level, and the second is to use their own strong physique and strength to forcefully break through that level.

  Before she accepted Viru's guidance, and now she seems to be on the same path as Viru.

  However, Viru first perceived the fire element in this world with the scorching bow, but what Samira feels now is the wind element.

  Every arrow she shoots now carries a little wind element, but just this little wind element increases the range of the arrow by 20%, which is something Samira did not expect.

  Now Samira does not lack strength and explosiveness, and her coordination and balance are also excellent, so as long as she exercises step by step, she has a great chance of breaking through the second rank.

  During the time she was stationed on the north city wall, she also benefited a lot from her insights on the battlefield.

  Standing on the high archery tower of the city wall, looking down at the ghost-striped red ants constantly climbing on the battlefield below her, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

   The ogre Gullitum is standing next to the watchtower. He just needs to raise his head slightly, and he can just chat with Samira.

  Gulitum's second head has now grown completely, and the neck and most of the face are clear, but the facial features look blurry, and there are no ears yet.

  Sometimes, Gullitum would reach out and touch his second head.

   I have some feelings. If the hand is too heavy, I can feel the pain, but it seems that there is no need for any instructions from Gullitum. The head whose face is not clear at present can actually make evasive movements naturally.

  Obviously he has independent control. While Gullitum was looking forward to it, he was also a little bit entangled.

  He worries that his other self is not easy to get along with.

Samira raised his hand and shot through the head of a soldier ant that was sneaking up the city wall in the distance. The steel arrow accurately penetrated one eye of the soldier ant, and the arrow tip came out of the other eye. The soldier immediately gave her a thumbs up.

  Although she couldn't remember how many ghost pattern soldier ants she had killed like this, she could feel that the magic pattern on her arm was already slightly hot.

   This meant that her right arm needed to rest, so she put down the hunting bow in her hand on the archery tower, and asked Gulitum next to her:

   "Gulitham, how long do you think this kind of life will last?"

Gulitum was using his fingers that were thicker than carrots, trying to pull out the tender meat in the thigh of a ghost-striped male ant. The fingers were too thick and the meat was too tender, so he couldn't poke it out at all. He mumbled twice, but it didn't help.

I had no choice but to smash the hard carapace patiently with an axe, throw the tender and juicy leg meat inside into my mouth, and then asked vaguely: "Isn't it good now? Sami LS Mira rubbed it gently." She folded her arms and let the muscles of her arms relax as much as possible, her eyes fell on the ghost-striped red ants outside the city, and she said with a worried face: "I am worried that the battle in the future will become more and more difficult. "

  Gulitham didn't have so many thoughts, and he comforted Samira: "I heard that the boss has been discussing countermeasures for the past two days. I think it won't take long for the war here to come to a conclusion."

  Hearing what Gulitum said, Samira's mood improved a lot.

Her light red eyes fell on Gulitum's other head, and she said to him half-jokingly: "Hey, if you wake up in the future, do I need to hit you twice when I greet you? "

   "Probably not needed!" Gullitum hesitated and said.
