Chapter 109: Fortress Ruins and Complex Situation
The two divine domain buildings were simply demolished, and the 5,000 people were not incorporated into their own divine domain system.
The population has exceeded the limit and cannot be included in the divine domain system.
The so-called population cap of the divine realm does not mean that no one can enter once the population in the divine realm has reached the cap.
There is no such saying. The number of people that can be accommodated is simply related to the size of the divine domain.
The so-called population limit and overload of the divine domain refers to the upper limit of the divine domain's influence on the population.
As everyone knows, the war lords' favors are very obedient in the divine realm. They follow the lords' orders honestly and never complain about anything they are sent to do. They always follow orders and carry them out.
Just like the many civilians in Li Qing's divine domain, they do whatever they are told to do.
They were farming yesterday, cutting wood today, building city walls the day after tomorrow, and fishing the day after tomorrow. During the war, they have to help move war supplies, and so on. The policies change every day, and they are moved around like chess pieces, without even a penny of salary.
If it were a normal person, he would have complained and called him a tyrant.
But in his divine domain, his followers lived well, without any emotions, and instead loved him very much.
It’s not about how good he is to his followers, nor how happy life is in the divine realm.
Of course, this is a little bit of a factor, but the main reason why they are so obedient is the subtle influence of the divine realm.
Yes, the divine domain does have this kind of influence, including making the soldiers absolutely loyal to the war lord.
However, this influence is only effective for the official citizens of the Divine Realm, that is, citizens within the Divine Realm's maximum population capacity. If the population exceeds the Divine Realm's population limit, it will not take effect.
Normally this is nothing, they are just a group of civilians, how can they cause any big trouble?
The facts are indeed not earth-shattering, but they are disgusting.
These uncontrollable civilians are only partially obedient because they respect your power, but their obedience is limited. You cannot command them at will like you can your own relatives, and they may resist your orders.
In addition, these uncontrolled civilians could not be converted into soldiers and could not be taxed.
Even if one wants to harvest faith, it costs more to gain a certain amount of faith, such as giving bread after a mass prayer and getting wages for work.
Think about it, the divine realm is so small, and everyone has limited resources in the early stages. What’s the point of supporting a bunch of unruly people?
Therefore, these 5,000 people will not be loaded into the Divine Realm for the time being. They will be temporarily sealed in the Divine Realm Farm and will be used after the population limit is increased.
There is no need to worry about whether they will die in there. The farm is a self-contained space. Zhuang Luping had previously opened up farmland and vegetable fields in the farm and raised some poultry. If they save some money, self-sufficiency will not be a problem.
After completely dismantling the divine domain, the troops set out again.
Zhuang Luping looked back reluctantly, and seeing his own divine tower standing alone on the ruins, he couldn't help but wipe away his tears.
If I leave this way, my future will be ruined.
But there is no way, if I don’t leave, I will die here.
Two days later, Zhuang Luping, who was with the army, suddenly groaned and fell off his horse.
After helping him up, he saw that his face was extremely pale. He looked up in the direction of his divine realm and said after a while:
"My divine domain is gone!"
Li Qing patted his shoulder hard and sighed.
In his perception, the aura of the Lord of the Divine Realm on Zhuang Luping had faded, and now he was just an ordinary hero with destiny.
Li Qing opened the door to the divine realm and allowed him to enter and rest.
"It's so unpredictable!"
Witness a warlord lose his divine domain, lose his destiny and become an ordinary hero.
This was considered a good ending for him. Normally, once a war lord fails, most of them will die together with the divine realm, and very few will survive alone.
This also made Li Qing feel a sense of urgency.
Although he can now easily destroy a Scourge hero, it does not mean that he is invincible. It is just that he has not yet encountered the strong ones among the Scourge heroes, let alone the Scourge Lord.
I don’t know how powerful the legendary Lord of Scourge is.
But judging from the strength of the Scourge heroes, the Scourge Lord has the strength of at least five or more Scourge heroes combined, and at most a dozen combined.
If it really happens, it's a bit risky.
Field battle suspension.
Although the Lava Crystal Dragon is powerful and can kill thousands with one breath of dragon breath, it cannot spray indefinitely. The key is that the Scourge Lord is likely to have war beasts and more than five heroes.
If the Scourge Behemoth is a little stronger, and the Hero is a little more powerful, as long as it is strong enough to temporarily block the Dragon Guard, Dragon Magic, and the Lava Crystal Dragon, it will be dangerous.
When he thought of this, Li Qing couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency:
"It's still not strong enough!"
"We need to add more."
Opening the personal attribute panel, there are two more hero skill points, which are the contributions of the undead hero killed two days ago.
Also contributed are 50 military promotion quotas and a book of abomination manufacturing.
There are few things, but they are all fine products.
Normally, killing a Scourge hero will give you more than a dozen cards, which contain all kinds of things. Most of them are not very valuable. Even if good things like helicopter cards can be obtained, there are only ten or a dozen helicopter spots. It's nothing like the 50 cards you get at once now.
The Abomination Crafting Book includes a complete set of crafting methods for the Stitched Abomination.
It has everything from the abomination core to the selection of rotten meat, suturing techniques, and necromancy spells to condense the abomination core consciousness. Any mage who gets this thing can start creating an abomination.
The strength of hatred is related to the level of its core flesh and blood, and the intensity of its condensed core consciousness.
The higher the level of the core flesh and blood, the more flesh and blood it can attach to, and the larger the abomination will be.
The strength of the core consciousness is related to the Abomination's IQ, flexibility, the upper limit of the Abomination's size, and combat ability. In theory, if the core consciousness is strong enough, it can even learn some undead spells.
Theoretically, there is no upper limit to the size of something like abomination, as long as these two core points are strong enough.
To be honest, this thing is quite tempting. Combined with my own golden finger, it is easy to create a powerful abomination.
The cost is quite low, at least it is basically no cost for him.
But after Li Qing thought about it seriously, he gave up this tempting thing and decided to just make the iron golem.
Undead magic is not something that normal people can play. If he wants to create a more powerful abomination, he must learn and study undead magic. He doesn't want to make himself neither human nor ghost.
Put things away so you can trade them with others later.
Li Qing's eyes fell on the panel, and he clicked a hero skill on the Divine Body, which instantly turned into Divine Body LV4. Then his eyes moved downward, and two purple and one gold finally appeared among the three specialty options.
He glanced at the two purples and one gold and made his choice without hesitation.
Limited Poison Immunity (Mythic): Immune to any form of poison below.
The fewer words, the better. It is immune to any form of toxins, including biological toxins, neurotoxins, chemical toxins, magical toxins, etc. It is completely immune to any toxins.
Then, use the last hero skill point to upgrade the divine body to LV5.
Divine Body LV5: Constitution +500%, Endurance +500%, Recovery +500%, Resistance +75%, Immune to Weakness, Immune to Fatigue, Immune to Disease, Immune to Blindness, Immune to Smash, Immune to Crushing, Immune to Critical Hit, Immune to Instant Death.
Added a series of immunity items, roughly related to constitution.
But this is not the point. The point is that the series of golden specialties refreshed by the Divine Body LV5 made his eyes a little dazzled.
There are five total specialty options, all glittering with gold.
Limited Immunity to Fire (Mythic): Immune to the following fire spells and effects.
Limited Immunity to Cold (Mythic): Immune to water and frost spells and effects below the level of Uncanny.
Limited Immunity to Earth (Mythic): Immune to the following earth spells and effects.
Limited Immunity to Lightning (Mythic): Immune to air and lightning spells and effects below the level of transcendent.
Limited Immunity to Undead (Mythic): Immune to the following undead spells and effects.
It’s very straightforward and direct immunity. He needs to choose one from them as the specialty of Divine Body LV5.
This is a bit confusing.
All five are very strong, and you can’t go wrong with any one of them.
but……
“It would be nice if I could choose them all.”
Li Qing chose one of them a little too greedily.
I don’t know if these super specialties will appear again after I upgrade them after being promoted to the extraordinary level.
Feat +5: Limited Immunity to Undead (Mythic): Immune to undead spells and effects up to Undead spells of Undead rank 1 and above.
In fact, there is no room for choice. This time, Chaos Wind is facing the Scourge of Undead. Who else can it choose if not this one?
At this point, the divine body has reached perfection, with only one divine power yet to be improved.
If nothing unexpected happens, killing two or three more Scourge heroes will give you enough hero skill points.
“It’s so cool!”
Whatever you want will come to you. For other people, it all depends on luck. Even if they are lucky, they can only get a little bit each time, and it is absolutely impossible to get it every time. God knows how long it will take to collect so many hero skill points for him.
After reaching Divine Body Level 5, Li Qing felt almost nothing when he came to the side of the Lava Crystal Dragon again.
When I climbed onto His back, I felt that my back was warmer than other places, but I did not feel the heat of the fiery force field.
The 570% additional physique plus the 75% resistance enhancement made his resistance to various conditions reach an extremely high level. Low-level spells were basically ineffective against him, but he was not immune to them.
It is worth mentioning that this resistance refers to resistance to negative states, not damage reduction.
Immunization is completely ineffective.
The team crossed the wilderness and moved forward along the abandoned road. On both sides were abandoned farmlands, and occasionally the ruins of the former snakeman village could be seen on the side of the road.
Some were destroyed by war lords, and some fell at the hands of the undead.
Speaking of the undead, they are a natural disaster. These war lords are also a natural disaster to the snake people. To the snake people, there is not much difference between humans and the undead.
If we have to say the difference, maybe humans don't play with their souls, but the undead kill them and enslave their souls.
I don't know if it was good luck, but in the next week or so of the journey, such a large army crossed almost a quarter of the plane without encountering any Scourge heroes, and arrived at the Serpent Fortress safely.
However, although we did not encounter any Scourge heroes, there are still some.
Along the way, they discovered traces of the Scourge heroes more than once. Long Shou and Long Fa took turns conducting long-distance reconnaissance, and twice discovered traces of the Undead army in extremely far places .
There were many wild undead wandering in the ruins of the snakeman fortress and the canyon. After An Erqiu led an army to kill them, the army set up camp in the ruins.
The ruins of the fortress are located between canyons, which are more than two kilometers wide. This means that if the divine domain is placed here, it can only occupy less than half of the space, and a wall of defense will need to be built on the other side.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t build it. Expanding the divine domain on one side of the canyon will only provide an additional attack surface.
Li Qing hasn't figured out what to do yet, and he's not even sure whether to give up the divine realm.
After the troops set up camp, he asked Long Shou and Long Fa to take turns going out, and Xie Jin also went out on the Dragon Eagle to scout the surroundings, especially the west and northwest.
About seventy or eighty kilometers west of here is the capital of the snake people.
About fifty kilometers to the northwest is Zhao Dingzhen and his men's stronghold.
Zhao Dingzhen had sent him a map before, and the designated base was there, but he didn’t know if it had changed now.
Although the divine domain was not abandoned, Li Qing collected stones from the ruins and combined them into a large number of city wall segments. He spent two days building a city on one side of the canyon as a temporary military camp.
After the temporary military camp was built, several people returned one after another and brought him an unexpected news.
Zhao Dingzhen’s camp was found, a divine castle located between two mountains.
One side faces the great plain, and the other side is surrounded by mountains. Generally speaking, only one side needs to be defended, which is an absolutely dangerous terrain.
A large number of troops gathered there, including several war beasts. The expanded camp between the mountains stretched for several kilometers and was very large.
When Xie Jin was riding on a Dragon Eagle, he was spotted by a patrolling air force. He was invited to stay over for a while and got intelligence from the area.
That was indeed the territory of Zhao Dingzhen's team. This divine domain was set up here by a member a long time ago. The other members did not expand the divine domain and lived here temporarily.
But this is not the point. The point is that after Xie Jin visited Zhao Dingzhen, he obtained the latest information about this area from Zhao Dingzhen.
According to Zhao Dingzhen, the situation in this area is somewhat complicated. In addition to a large number of Scourge heroes, there are also two Scourge Lords, including a direct descendant of the Undead Overlord, that is, the kind that can condense destiny points after being killed.
The two Scourge Lords were gathering near the Serpent Man King City, placing their own Undead Realms on the left and right of the Serpent Man King City, preparing to attack the Serpent Man King City.
However, because there were Zhao Dingzhen's team and the joint teams of apprentices of two other five-star mentors nearby, a total of three powerful teams were on the side. Although the two Scourge Lords had given up the divine domain early, they did not dare to launch an attack.
In other words, the small area around the Serpent King City gathered two Scourge Lords, a joint team of three five-star mentors, and a large number of Scourge heroes.
Of course, Li Qing is also included.
And the troops of the Underground United Kingdom.
