Chapter 27: The 6th Tier Troops After Upgrading
The entire continent is now in a state of turmoil, with dark clouds gathering and ominous energy surging. In just two short days, the beast tribe has achieved a shocking victory that has sent shockwaves throughout the continent. The legendary impregnable fortress, Unyielding Citadel, was breached within a single day. The 1.3 million-strong vanguard army of the Beastmen's Northern and Southern Legions has occupied most of the Human Kingdoms of Sunset, Night Moon, Holy Water, and Lion Eagle. This is still just the Northern Legion, which had no intention of making contact with the Elves or Undead.
The Northern Legion, the Marshal's Large Tent.
De Shang Yuan Shuai is in a rage, although various reasons can be used to gloss over it, but in fact the defeat of the vanguard in the Xianlin County direction has made this ambitious and secretly competing with the Southern Army's Tiger General feel greatly humiliated. After all, others have occupied two kingdoms without any debt or delay, while he needs to find excuses to maintain a superficial balance, who knows if they will secretly laugh at him behind his back?
Considering the military strength, the Northern Legion itself was 300,000 less than the Southern Legion, and later it had to maintain, or even increase its attack on the human abdomen in the east direction. Sending a large number of troops to attack the small Xianlin County is not very realistic.
"Let General Lang Ping of the Wolf Riders come to see me in the main tent immediately!" The messenger quickly left and soon brought a wolf-like general.
De Shang handed a military order to the werewolf: "The Xianlin County of the Lion Eagle Kingdom, that timid but only knows how to sleep with women's colorful cat, seems to have failed. I want you to select 3 elite wolf riding troops of 1,000 people, depart tomorrow. I need His Majesty's military flag, inserted on this city! Is there anything unclear?"
The werewolf general, Su Rong, responded with a heavy fist on his left chest, over his heart, and slightly bowed his head: "Your will, I shall execute!"
The Marshal of the Tiger People smiled with satisfaction!
The 4th day of the 3rd week.
This heavy news also reached Lin Tian's hands. Yesterday, he had just achieved a partial victory, but today he would have to face his own overlord, the Lion Eagle Kingdom, with the capital and even the entire country being overrun. Almost overnight, Xianlin City became an isolated city of humans in the rich plains. What was even more frightening was that other human kingdoms were too busy to care for themselves, and it was impossible for them to send any reinforcements through the beastmen's blockade to rescue this small city lord in the north.
It was comforting for the young baron that the remaining 16 human kingdoms had formed an alliance in the face of the beast tribe's massive pressure. The human coalition army was gathering on a large scale in the rear, and he didn't know what extent it could reach, hoping not to be too disappointing. Another piece of news that made Lin Tian feel relieved was that the group of cowards who had escaped before the war were only having their property confiscated by him, and they were probably already dead on the road while escaping under the beast tide, how can there be intact eggs under a destroyed nest?
Must develop quickly, otherwise will surely die without a place to bury. A certain mansion that knows nothing about the movements of the beastmen has even planned ahead, at least resisting for a while, and if it really doesn't work out, then fleeing in the direction of the Elf Forest with their whole family. After all, they themselves have a non-hostile relationship with the mainland's elf tribe, and they still owe them a favor. At that time, pretending to be pitiful will not lead to being directly expelled and sent to death, right? The Undead Territory is not something he dares to think about, and the Magic Beast Forest can also be considered later, it's just a pity for his painstaking efforts in Xianlin County.
At this time, Lin Tian did not know that the beastmen looked down on him, and the Xianlin City where he was located would not become a stumbling block for the second phase of the beastmen's plan, at most it could only be called a small trouble. So they only sent a wolf cavalry unit with 3,000 people, and there were still many more to come. The beastman army that he had always feared had long been preparing to advance into the eastern part of the human tribe's territory, this was truly the power of the protagonist halo!
"Upgrade Human Tier 6 Barracks to Knight's Jousting Arena! -20,000!" Remaining 55,000 gold.
The moment the building was upgraded, Lin Tian noticed that the 8 knights in the Hero Space had undergone a drastic change, while the gold coins remained at 55,000 without any movement.
System God! I am your loyal follower! The change made by the system, after his troops scale becomes larger in the future, it's easy to imagine how much money will be saved? A certain master dragged a spirit girl next to him and kissed her fiercely... Cool!
The knights became even more majestic, with gold trim on their heavy armor, a heart-shaped mirror added to the chest area, and small golden wings protruding from both sides of the helmet. The lances became even larger and longer, and the slashing horse knives were also strengthened. The war horses' entire bodies were covered in golden horse armor, and black eye masks were worn over their eyes. These seemingly flawless knights had their true names changed to Holy Knights. In addition to retaining their previous invincible charging ability, they gained an additional trait called Sacred Healing.
Holy Healing: Holy Knights can heal themselves or their allies with holy light, usable once per day!
Milk Rider is invincible! Milk Rider is mighty! Milk Rider is galloping freely!
Someone checked their attributes and the improvement was not small, but unfortunately they still couldn't achieve a qualitative breakthrough. It's estimated that it should be at the level of a top-notch mainland 7th-level general.
"Upgrade the 6th-tier building of the Elf tribe to Guardian Ancient Forest! -20,000!" Remaining 35,000 gold.
Similarly, the 6th-tier Tree Nymph of the Elf tribe was renamed to War Ancient Tree in an instant. These originally 6-meter-tall giants now had a further increase in height, reaching 7 meters. The older the tree age, the thicker the bark, and the longer the life bar. The massive limbs looked ferocious, and it would be no problem for one kick to kill a beastman. The color also changed from the previous tender green to a golden yellow like an ancient autumn tree, with a larger canopy. In addition to retaining the original entwining skill, another rooting property was added.
Rooting: The ancient tree demon has evolved into a more advanced root system, allowing it to directly plant its roots in the ground when necessary. This effect makes it immobile, but grants double physical defense. Rooting renders it immobile, but can be cancelled at any time.
Damn it! What a brutal ability. Physical defense directly doubled, these guys already have super long health bars, ultra-high defense, and now they dare to shamelessly double it, how can the enemy survive? Wait until the Lin Yao upgrades later, and then surrounds these tree forts to launch a joint attack, the beastman's war axe will probably only scratch the itch. These super meat shields are probably just afraid of magic attacks, especially fire magic, a certain house is looking at the golden leaves on top of the giants' heads with some concern, good fuel is probably what they are talking about!
Fortunately, the rooted property can be cancelled at any time. In the future, I'll use Eagle Eye to secretly learn a few water system spells and make up for this shortcoming!
Lin Tian's eyes rolled, and he slapped his own head fiercely. Who let him be so stupid and narrow-minded? Why not just use these big guys to deal with physical attacks from the enemy, and let other meat shields that aren't afraid of magic take on the enemy's spells?
Play to your strengths and hide your weaknesses, this is the royal way!
