Chapter 12: He prays for you with his chrysanthemum
As he watched Lin Tian walk towards him step by step, Lei Ao, who was lying on the ground and dying, fell into a deep abyss of regret and despair.
Just a moment ago, in that fierce battle, the team he spent years and countless efforts organizing was completely annihilated, and his brother Rio was also ambushed by this young man. A large fireball turned him into a pile of charcoal, perhaps something could be dug out from that ash to show that his brother had existed. He trembled with regret and fear. Regretting that he shouldn't have provoked this little disaster star, he didn't expect this unassuming youngster to hide his strength so deeply. A large batch of soldiers appeared suddenly without warning, his team was completely ambushed, and he himself was beaten into a dead state. Was it the legendary divine warrior? It doesn't seem like it... Although there were legends about divine warriors appearing on the mainland, they were generally very powerful and extremely rare, only those favored by the gods could have divine warriors as followers. But this young man's soldiers were astonishing in number, yet their strength was not high. He looked at a corpse of a halberdier who had been cut in half not far away, that was only 2nd level strength...
Just as this wicked guy was indulging in his wild thoughts, a low but hate-filled voice came from beside his ear: "You're not dead yet?"
"Don't... kill... me..."
At this moment, Leo, who still had an astonishing will to survive, actually begged for mercy. Perhaps he couldn't even believe it himself that the young dead enemy in front of him, whose eyes were red with anger, would spare his life.
"I believe that in the past, there were also many weak and small people who begged you like this. Did you let them go?" Ignoring the motionless slave leader, Lin Tian picked up the corpse of the little spirit and ordered the remaining healthy dwarves to dig a deep pit under a large tree with their battle axes, burying the poor child. And on the trunk of the tree, he lightly carved a few words: "May this poor little spirit be forever freed!"
Everyone present did not know that later on the mainland, countless pilgrims from various ethnic groups, including ordinary people with no combat ability, would venture into the perilous Magic Beast Forest in search of this tree, which was inscribed by the Continental Sacred King and protected as a sacred site by the elves.
The surviving spirits began to come back from numbness, some sobbing quietly, others praying for the dead in the spirit language.
"I made a vow to myself earlier, you should have heard it clearly! I said, I will choose a good long gun," Lin Tian's tone was cold and calm, but his movements were surprisingly gentle. He took a long gun from the hand of a dead soldier and helped him close his angry eyes. "Rest in peace, my most loyal warrior!"
The ugly man, trembling with fear all over his body as he approached cautiously, this nearly two-meter-tall giant warrior was now lying on the ground, twitching uncontrollably like a tiny worm.
"I say, I'll choose a good long spear and thrust it into your vile flower!"
"I have always believed in this sentence: A real man does not make promises lightly, and when he makes a promise, he must keep it!"
"Here I just happened to pick up a good long spear," and with an unknown burst of energy, he flipped over the large and dirty body.
"Then go to hell!" Found the right direction, and thrust it in with force...
A loud and mournful cry suddenly stopped! Lin Tian, however, knelt on the ground, silently praying for the deceased. For a moment, it seemed as if even the wind in the forest had come to a standstill...
A Pyrrhic victory! Our side suffered 34 longspearman deaths, 10 flower fairy deaths, 10 archer deaths and 30 dwarf deaths.
Tip: Defeat 50 enemies, totaling 220 military strength, and obtain the treasure Brave Warrior's Order.
Brave Order: Can be equipped in 3 accessory slots, is a treasure that increases the bravery of troops, effect is +1 morale.
Tip: Obtained 1200 gold, remaining 45000 gold.
Reminder: Hero level upgraded to 5, Intelligence +1. Please choose one ability: Primary Navigation, Primary Earth Magic, or Primary Mystery!
Basic Pathfinding: Reduces terrain hindrance by 10% for yourself and your troops.
This is a mediocre ability that is definitely not as good as logistics, and it only takes effect in special terrain. The Swordsmen Continent doesn't have many places with such special terrain, so its use is limited, and I choose to abandon it.
Primary Arcana: Allows heroes to recover an additional 1 point of mana per day.
This ability is even more useless, after all, my blue medicine can be supplied infinitely, and the mysterious technique can save some money on medicine at most, not much use.
Choose primary earth magic, so heroes can learn all earth magic.
Lin Tian immediately immersed himself in the system and entered the Elf Tribe's Magic Guild, where he chose to learn Stone Skin!
Petrified Skin: 1st-tier earth-based magic that allows the affected unit to gain a certain degree of physical defense enhancement.
If I had this magic earlier, my dwarf and long spear troops would have reduced a lot of casualties. A certain house painfully looked at the remaining 10 heavily injured dwarves, as well as 20 long spear soldiers who were all injured, even the remote troops Huā Yāo and archers suffered significant casualties. If it wasn't for the proper deployment, the enemy would have been in chaos from the start, and whether they could stand here is still uncertain. Also, there's a military strength setting that has never appeared before in previous games, this is a more accurate estimate of the actual combat effectiveness of troops, otherwise according to the original game's representation method, 50 angels and 50 skull soldiers are all 50 people, although the numbers are the same, but the gap in combat effectiveness is too far-fetched. How can we express the distinction between the actual combat effectiveness of troops? This military strength calculation system can be considered an improvement to the original system.
I remember that when I first killed 40 beastmen, the prompt showed 160 military strength. So, a level 3 combat power can be converted to 4; this time, 50 enemies have 220 military strength, including 1 level 5, 10 level 4, and 30 level 3. It can be roughly inferred that level 4 combat power can be converted to 8, and level 5 combat power can be converted to 20, which is exactly 220 points of military strength. Further bold estimation suggests that level 1 combat power may be equivalent to 1 military strength, and level 2 combat power may be equivalent to 2 military strength, which seems reasonable. Because I haven't encountered anything higher than level 5, it's impossible to estimate further.
Hint: Sub-job level has been upgraded to 5, HP increased by 170 points, MP increased by 170 points, and learned the 5th-level magic skill "Fire Pillar".
It can be seen from these few levels that the level of Jianmo Continent has not been upgraded by one level, and the life and magic values are fixed at 30 each.
Tip: Since the main hero Lin Tian has acquired earth system magic ability, the secondary occupation also opens up the talent of earth system magic at the same time.
This hint shocked a certain otaku, from the original owner Haken's memories, it can be known that on the mainland, mages are basically single-system mages, and only after becoming a 7th-level mage can they begin to learn low-level magic of other systems, such as water system. Before level 6, they can only learn water system magic, and only at level 7 can they possibly learn 4th-level or lower magic of other systems. Those who are initially dual-system mages are extremely rare, each one is a super genius. For example, the Grand Archbishop Kayne of the Church of Light, showed talent for light-fire dual-system magic in his youth, and eventually became a 9th-level Saint.
It seems that after Lin Tian has mastered all four systems of magical abilities, the 4-system talent that will shock the entire continent will truly be born...
The four-system magic is compulsory in the future!
