Lord Game: I Have 100 Million Talents

Chapter 371 - 76: A Million HP! Divine Gift Ancient Giant Dragon

However, on the other hand, a Power of Authority like "Divine Gift: Permanent Poisoning" could be countered by an ordinary permanent recovery skill or Talent, like "Evil Aura."

So, to say that "Divine Gift: Rapid Recovery" is inferior to "Divine Gift: Permanent Poisoning" is a false premise.

The two abilities counter and are countered by different things; they aren’t even competing in the same race.

The best-case scenario is to have them all.

But the second Power of Authority the Ancient Giant Dragons obtained, "Divine Gift: Magic Altitude Enhancement," was what could only be described as truly heaven-defying.

Originally, the Ancient Giant Dragons’ attacks had a clear weakness.

Although their maximum flight altitude was 500 meters, they could only breathe Dragon Breath down on ground units from a height of 200 meters at most.

To be honest, that altitude wasn’t exactly safe.

Because whether it was an Extraordinary One Star archer, an Extraordinary Two Stars archer, or even the most common imperial archer, their Ranged Attacks could just barely reach a Giant Dragon at that height.

However, whether they could actually hit the Ancient Giant Dragon’s body depended entirely on the archer’s own level of archery skill, as well as the Ancient Giant Dragon’s own flight speed and Dodge ability.

But with this Divine Power of Authority, the Ancient Giant Dragons’ Dragon Breath attack altitude soared directly to 500 meters, perfectly matching the maximum flight altitude limit in the Lord World.

This altitude far exceeded the effective range of conventional ordinary archers and conventional Extraordinary Archers.

Without a super-tall structure like the "Holy Empire’s Northern Great Wall" to use as a perch, it was nearly impossible for the arrows in their hands to effectively hit an Ancient Giant Dragon at that altitude.

In layman’s terms, "I can hit you, but you can’t hit me."

However, the "Wood Elf Army" that Qin Feng had been hiding in his territory was an exception.

Every one of them had mastered Legendary Level Archery Skill, and with the Elf Race’s unique Archery Talent, they could not only easily and accurately hit enemies 500 meters in the air.

They could even predict an opponent’s movement trajectory, locking onto their position in advance to ensure no arrow missed its mark.

Unfortunately, these Wood Elves were Qin Feng’s subordinates.

Based on current intelligence, most Lord Players didn’t have a similar type of Shooter unit, so they were basically helpless against the Ancient Giant Dragons that had acquired "Divine Gift: Magic Altitude Enhancement."

More importantly, the effect of this Divine Power of Authority didn’t just apply to the Ancient Giant Dragons’ Dragon Breath attack; it also covered the other Magic Skills they had mastered.

You have to understand, these conventional Magic Skills—the non-special magic attacks—were originally affected by the Lord World’s altitude restrictions. Forget 500 or 200 meters; they could barely even reach 20 meters.

Now, the Ancient Giant Dragons could launch a bombing run on the ground directly from 500 meters up.

Conversely, even if their opponents were Flying Units soaring at 500 meters, the dragons could launch precise strikes from the ground.

This Ranged Attack suppression ability, freely switchable between the sky and the ground... just thinking about it was enough to feel its terrifying potential.

However, according to the system panel’s description, since there was a Divine Gift that could increase Magic attack altitude, there must naturally be a Divine Gift that could decrease it.

Furthermore, there were also Divine Gifts that increased maximum flight altitude, allowing Flying Units like the Ancient Giant Dragons, Royal Dragon Cavalry, and Evil Dragon Jinli to fly above 500 meters, once again exceeding the attack range of a Level 1 "Divine Gift: Magic Altitude Enhancement."

Fortunately, up to this point, Qin Feng had neither encountered an enemy with such a Divine Gift nor heard any related rumors from the well-informed Reincarnated Players.

’Even the Reincarnated Players haven’t mentioned them, which means these types of Divine Gifts are either extremely rare or have very few owners.’

He analyzed this inwardly, subconsciously breathing a sigh of relief. It seemed that running into an opponent with this kind of Divine Gift wouldn’t be easy.

Therefore, Qin Feng didn’t need to worry unnecessarily for now, fearing that his Ancient Giant Dragons, which had just been empowered by a Divine Gift, would be "instantly retired" by an enemy’s counter skill.

This feeling of security, of having no natural predators for the time being, gave him a bit more confidence for the upcoming Plane War.

’In that case...’

’The AOE and single-target damage output the Ancient Giant Dragons now possess is definitely the ceiling among all Holy Empire soldiers.’

’They can act as "bombers" from 500 meters up, mindlessly blasting all creatures below them with Magic. Almost no one can stop them.’

’And while the Royal Dragon Cavalry’s total damage output is a bit lower than the Ancient Giant Dragons’, their strength lies in their excellent survivability and harassment capabilities. They’re perfect for special Beheading missions.’

’As for one-on-one duels between powerhouses... the Sielo Knights, who possess two "Invincible" Divine Gifts, are the God of Gods. No contest.’

’More importantly...’

’The Sielo Knights can form bond connections with other Soldier Types more easily than the Royal Dragon Cavalry and Ancient Giant Dragons.’

’In other words, the threshold for them to fight cooperatively with other Soldier Types and eventually become a "Wing Connection Soldier Type" with special abilities is much lower.’

’After all, the fighting style of the Royal Dragon Cavalry and Ancient Giant Dragons is too individualistic. It’s almost impossible for their "Squad Enhancement" Talent to find a compatible Wing Connection unit.’

’Even if they did find one...’

’it would be exceptionally difficult to build combat synergy between the two sides.’

’Unless you sacrifice the most heaven-defying Flying Ability of the Ancient Giant Dragons and Royal Dragon Cavalry, reducing them to ground combat troops. Then you could quickly develop their synergy with other ground units until they transform into Wing Connection soldiers and heroes, but that would be putting the cart before the horse...’

He paused, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the hilt of his Beheading Sword. Then he shook his head lightly, as if to clear the distracting thoughts swirling in his mind.

’Honestly!’

’Why am I even thinking about this?’

He laughed at himself inwardly. Just moments ago, he had been repeatedly comparing the minor weaknesses of the three Soldier Types, but now it felt a bit redundant.

These three Divine Gift Soldier Types each had their own specialty.

The Ancient Giant Dragons were the kings of high-altitude bombing damage, the Royal Dragon Cavalry could execute high-risk Beheading operations, and the Sielo Knights were nearly Invincible in one-on-one duels within urban areas.

Together, they could cover almost every combat scenario. Whether it was a frontal group battle or a special forces mission, he had an ace up his sleeve for it.

It was just like how the Ratman Warriors excelled at urban warfare and the Desert Wolf Pack specialized in wilderness guerrilla tactics; the two didn’t interfere with each other.

’So...’

’my current troop composition is already strong enough.’

Thinking this, Qin Feng let out a breath, his tense thoughts gradually relaxing:

’Instead of dwelling on which one has more flaws, I should focus on how to maximize their combat advantages to make future battles a little easier.’

With that thought, all of Qin Feng’s previous anxieties vanished, leaving only anticipation for the battles to come.

’Alright.’

’Next up is the final reward.’

’The unique Achievement Reward for clearing the Void Realm for the first time.’

’It gave my initial Lord Skill, "War Blessing," another 100% Attribute Enhancement, as well as more Extra Life Value enhancement...’

Qin Feng stared at the description on the panel, silently reviewing it in his mind:

’First, let’s clarify the original rules for War Blessing.’

’It’s enhanced based on the Lord Player’s level in the "Divine Chosen Lord" Profession.’

’It starts with a 100% Attribute Value increase, and for every level gained in the "Divine Chosen Lord" Profession, it adds another 1% Attribute bonus.’

’Excluding entry into the Divine Realm Domain, once the "Divine Chosen Lord" Profession reaches Level 100, the total stacked bonus would be 200%.’

With that thought, Qin Feng tapped the panel lightly, bringing up his level information:

’My current Divine Chosen Lord level is 27.’

’So the Basic Attributes enhancement from my "War Blessing" skill is 127%, which is the same bonus other King of War players at my level have.’

Next, Qin Feng looked at the achievement enhancements displayed on the panel.

’However...’

’I also have the special enhancements from the "Heaven’s Chosen Ruler" and "Void Guide" achievements.’

’Therefore, if I calculate it carefully, my "War Blessing" total Attribute Enhancement reaches 381%, and it also comes with an equivalent 381% Extra Life Value.’

’This is just... so King of War!’
