Chapter 329 - 335: Human Soldier Types
Hang Yu has become the lord of Deserted Valley Town. Now, just by standing within Deserted Valley Town, he can remotely communicate with the Lord Stele, and various kinds of information present themselves like a waterfall in his mind.
The main focus is the situation in Deserted Valley Town.
It is roughly displayed as follows:
————
Territory: Deserted Valley Town!
Lord: Hang Yu (Human)!
Territory Range: Diameter 100 kilometers!
Territory Garrison: 0/2000!
Territory Residents: None for now
Territory Planning: ...
————
The above is the most critical information about the town territory.
Hang Yu, as a lord, can access a lot of information and has many options to manipulate.
The territory garrison refers to the number of subspecies troops stationed within the territory.
The number of troops a town territory can station mainly depends on the number of houses in the territory. Besides, the size of the territory will determine the maximum limit for garrisoning.
Deserted Valley Town isn’t that big.
A place like this can’t station more than four thousand subspecies troops.
Right now, they can recruit up to two thousand territory soldiers at most. If Hang Yu upgrades or increases the residential buildings in the town, then the population will rise based on this foundation.
Territory residents and territory garrison are different concepts.
Territory garrison is the subspecies troops stationed in the town permanently.
Territory residents refer to the high-level races who have set their resurrection points in Deserted Valley Town. They can move in and out, have mobility, and do not occupy the town’s population, but as long as they move in, they are somewhat restricted by the lord.
The last item is "Territory Construction."
There’s a lot inside, so I won’t go into detail. Simply put, it introduces the situation within the territory and the construction planning within the town, such as twenty residential buildings, four city walls, three defense arrays, plus Magic Energy Cannons to resist enemies, outer traps, etc.
The lord can consume resources to upgrade residential buildings to increase garrison population, or upgrade city wall arrays, defense weapons, and traps to boost Deserted Valley Town’s defense to prevent invasions or attacks from other races.
Jiang Nan asked, "Does this mean we’ve occupied Deserted Valley Town?"
Hang Yu nodded: "That’s right. From now on, I am the new lord of Deserted Valley Town, and it will belong to humanity henceforth!"
Actually, speaking of it.
Hang Yu picked up a bargain.
Others aren’t very clear on the significance of this.
The Spirit Sword Bureau knows the benefits of occupying a Spirit Realm territory.
They definitely won’t let Hang Yu become the lord of Deserted Valley Town easily.
Of course.
Their objections are useless.
Hang Yu is determined to be the lord of Deserted Valley Town!
On one hand, after Xu Tianhua and the others realize the importance of the territory, it’s impossible to agree to let such a great benefit and initiative fall to the Americans; on the other hand, Hang Yu and his team have the greatest merit, which is indeed well-deserved. No one is more suited for this position than Hang Yu.
Now, by acting first and reporting later.
It saves a lot of bickering and trouble.
Even if the American high-ups are dissatisfied, they can only accept it grudgingly.
Hang Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "How are the spoils being collected?"
Zhao Ming said: "Several high-level Jackal Wolfmen have dropped some good equipment and Skill Stones, but out of these hundreds of subspecies soldiers, apart from dropping some equipment, not a single Skill Stone has dropped."
Hang Yu nodded slightly.
This situation is expected.
Subspecies soldiers are not monsters; generally, they do not drop Skill Stones.
At this moment Xu Tianhua added: "They do have a high drop rate for some special materials, like Soul Crystals and Inheritance Crystals, which are relatively scarce in reality."
As he spoke.
He showcased these two items.
[Dull Soul Crystal], Level 10 special item, White Lower Grade Quality, a crystalline piece formed from fragments of Spirit Realm creatures’ souls, capable of shaping spirit bodies.
[Dull Inheritance Crystal], Level 10 special item, White Lower Grade Quality, a crystalline piece formed by condensing Inheritance Power of the Spirit Realm, can be obtained by decomposing Inheritance Skill Stones.
Hang Yu said: "This should be the material for producing subspecies small soldiers."
Jiang Nan exclaimed: "Producing small soldiers? Can small soldiers really be produced!"
Hang Yu said: "Of course, otherwise, for the territory to have nearly a thousand soldiers, do you think Jackal Wolfmen were giving them away for free? You guys spread out and look; I bet there’s a Stele for producing subspecies soldiers."
Everyone immediately dispersed.
Hang Yu first checked the spoils.
Among the two blue items, one is a one-handed sword, the other a Skill Stone.
[Evil Bone Cursed Sword]: Level 10 equipment, Blue Intermediate Quality, Physical Attack +32, Agility +8, Strength +4, with the skill "Evil Bone Curse," Durability 42
[Combat Profession Skill Stone: Absorption of Killing Intent], Blue Upper Grade Quality, Third Tier Inheritance Celestial Guardian Skill, Learning Requirement: 2000 Spiritual Qi!
Level 10 Light Blue Quality One-Handed Sword.
Judging from its attributes, it’s still quite good.
As a Blue Quality weapon, it also comes with skills.
[Evil Bone Curse], Special Skill, once activated, each attack drains 5 points of the wielder’s Spiritual Power, applying the Paralysis Curse Effect to the target upon impact.
This skill doesn’t have much lethality.
However, its effect is indeed somewhat abnormal.
Every strike can inflict a curse attack effect.
During Hang Yu’s battle with Luken, the greatest threat was this sword.
The paralysis it induces is not an abnormal state but a curse spell, therefore activating Bloodthirsty Frenzy, with high Abnormal State Resistance, even Hang Yu couldn’t negate it and could only disperse it with Fighting Qi.
One could say.
Hang Yu was quite lucky this time.
If Hang Yu didn’t have such a powerful Blue Skill Scroll like "Dawn Shelter," his fight against Luken would have been without a chance!
Hang Yu’s level, as well as his Divine and Will Attributes, were far from enough to resist a Level 10 Blue weapon’s curse; without Dawn Shelter’s negation, just the Evil Bone Curse effect could easily wear Hang Yu down sword by sword.
Too dangerous!
This time, luck was truly on his side!
Gratefully accepting this Blue Longsword!
Although as a Blue weapon, its Attack Power and attribute enhancement aren’t too impressive, and its damage output can’t compare to the Earth Dragon Fluctuation Spear, its annoying ability alone turns it into a PK weapon.
Hang Yu possesses Dual Wielding skills.
If he equips a secondary weapon.
His damage potential won’t be too low either!
Apart from the Blue Weapon, Hang Yu also acquired a piece of Blue Skill Stone.
However, regrettably, he can’t use this Skill Stone.
"Celestial Guardian" is a Third Tier Inheritance for the "Shield Warrior" series.
Among Hang Yu’s team, the one most suitable to use this Skill Stone should be Old Zhao, and "Absorption of Killing Intent" is one of the most representative skills of the Shield Warrior series.
The effect of Absorption of Killing Intent is quite simple.
It can absorb the target’s killing intent, transferring it all to oneself, to enhance one’s own attributes.
Moreover, as all killing intent from the opponent is concentrated onto oneself, the target’s spirit and judgment become impaired, making it prioritize attacking.
Simply put.
It’s like an enhanced version of "Provoke"!
When used against Monsters or Subspecies lacking advanced intelligence.
It can unreasonably force the target into attacking oneself.
Even against intelligent creatures, it still has some effect, although significantly weaker.
But Absorption of Killing Intent is not just a simple provoke; it’s also a strengthening skill for oneself, where absorbing more killing intent enhances one’s Defense, Life, and Constitution, thus considered a very useful Combat Skill.
"Great God!"
"Come quickly!"
"We’ve found it!"
Hang Yu was led by Jiang Xiaonan to a stele.
This Spirit Realm Stele was called: Deserted Valley Town Recruitment Stele!
At this moment, the stele was already surrounded by people, each with an expression of shock, evidently surprised that such a stele existed.
Recruitment Stele.
As the name implies.
This is a stele for recruiting territorial soldiers.
The Lord can authorize individuals to have recruitment privileges; the recruited soldiers can be commanded by individuals for inner territory operations, though the soldiers’ ownership remains with the territory and Lord; individuals cannot take territorial soldiers outside the territory.
Deserted Valley Town is a small territory.
Its Soldier Types are not very diverse.
A total of four Combat Soldiers can be recruited.
They are: Human Infantry, Human Archers, Human Healing Soldiers, Human Mage Soldiers.
Additionally, one type of Production Soldier can be recruited: Human Collection Soldiers.
Recruitment requirements are as follows:
[Human Infantry], required materials for recruitment: One Dull White Inheritance Crystal, one Level 10 Dull White Soul Crystal, five pieces of Level 10 Fire Copper, twenty pieces of Level 10 Cold Iron, thirty White Crystal Stones.
[Human Archer], required materials for recruitment: One Dull White Inheritance Crystal, one Level 10 Dull White Soul Crystal Stone, ten Level 10 Fire Coppers, twenty Level 10 Black Iron Wood, thirty White Crystal Stones.
[Human Mage Soldier], required materials for recruitment: One Dull White Inheritance Crystal, one Level 10 Dull White Soul Crystal Stone, ten Level 10 Fire Coppers, twenty Level 10 Mithril, forty White Crystal Stones.
