Chapter 126 Troop Upgrade
Dragon Language Magic LV5: The Ancient Dragon is proficient in all lower-level Dragon Language magic and can cast Dragon Language magic no more than 15 times a day. All super magic skills are increased by +5.
Expertise +1: Casting speed and mana and mental power consumption -20%.
Expertise +2: Casting speed and mana and mental power consumption -30%.
Expertise +3: Casting speed and mana and mental power consumption -40%.
Expertise +4: Casting range of Dragon Language magic +200%, power and effect +100%.
Expertise +5: Casting range of Dragon Language magic +400%, power and effect +200%.
The choice of expertise for the ability of Dragon Language Magic is simple, because of Li Qing's current rank, he can only use lower-level Dragon Language Magic. Increasing the talent level can only reduce consumption and increase power. There is no fancy special expertise.
After clicking on the Dragon Language magic, all 36 hero skill points were used up.
At this point, Li Qing's personal strength has reached the limit below the extraordinary level, and he can be promoted to the extraordinary level at any time.
Yes, my personal strength has been perfected and there is no other need.
Perhaps if there are extra hero skill points, you can choose some more spells to strengthen the hero spells, but this does not conflict with the promotion to the extraordinary level. It will not affect the promotion to the sixth level whether you choose it or not, because the seven core talents of the two bloodlines of the core god and the ancestor ancient dragon are all maxed out.
However, Li Qing was not in a hurry to be promoted immediately. Since he was safe now, he planned to stay safe and study the inherited magic package of the Mage City-State.
This thing contains all the inheritance of an indigenous mage school, and it contains the experience of the indigenous people's promotion to extraordinary levels and even higher. He wants to see how these indigenous people were promoted to extraordinary levels.
See if there is room for improvement and whether there is possibility for deeper accumulation.
It's not that I want to delay, I just want to take it as a reference and adapt to the current surging power.
After all, his accumulation has reached its limit at this time. The bloodline of the ancient dragon is already the strongest bloodline, and it is unlikely that he can accumulate more.
As long as he is sure there is no problem, he will be promoted to the sixth level extraordinary level immediately.
He also wanted to see what changes would occur after the bloodline of the Ancestral Ancient Dragon was promoted to the extraordinary level, and to see what the extraordinary characteristics of the Ancestral Ancient Dragon were.
After the digestion was complete, Li Qing summoned Long Shou and Long Fa.
At this time, Long Shou's three talents of dragon bloodline are: Dragon Scale LV3, Dragon Breath LV2, Dragon Wings LV1. To max them all out, he needs nine more hero skill points.
The three talents of Dragon Bloodline of Dragon Mage are: Dragon Breath LV5, Dragon Wing LV2, and Dragon Wing LV1. To max them all out, you need seven hero skill points.
Adding the two together, a total of sixteen points are required.
“Just a little bit more…”
But it’s not a big problem, just a little bit. It’s easy to get it next time when you find a chance.
The choice for them is very simple, the two dragon breaths are almost the same, and the last two specialties are the same. The first specialty, Dragon Mage, increases the length of the ray breath, and Dragon Guardian increases the width and distance of the cone breath, with different focuses.
The same goes for Dragon Scale, prioritize maxing out this talent.
Dragon Scale LV5: Activates the power of dragon blood, grows a layer of hard dragon scales on the body surface, reduces all damage by 60%, is immune to status spells below six levels, and reduces the duration of all negative status by 60%.
Expertise +1: Dragon scale damage reduction effect +5%.
Expertise +2: Dragon scale damage reduction effect +5%.
Feat +3: Fire Immunity (Mythic).
Feat +4: Frost Immunity (Mythic).
Feat +5 : Lightning Immunity (Mythic).
Dragon Wing LV5: Activate the power of dragon blood, grow a pair of dragon wings, gain the ability to fly, with a maximum flight speed of 1000 km/h and a maximum flight altitude of 100 km.
Expertise +1: Increases flying flexibility by 100%.
Expertise +2: Increases flying agility by 200%.
Expertise +3: Increases flight agility by 300% and reduces inertia by 20%.
Expertise +4: Sprint, flight speed increased by 300%, lasts for 60 seconds, cooldown time 3 hours.
Feat +5: Phase Flight (Mythic), enters the Phase Flight state, ignoring any targeted spells under physical attacks and most obstacles, and cannot attack in this state.
The last point of hero skill was given to Long Shou, and Long Fa’s dragon wing talent was only upgraded to level 4 for the time being.
This allocation is made based on the consideration that Dragon Guardian follows the Dragon Vein Fighter route and is a warrior who needs to engage in close combat most of the time, while Dragon Mage is a mage and has a slightly lower priority than Dragon Guardian.
After completing the options, Long Shou can now be promoted to the sixth level.
Li Qing did not stop him, but asked him to take it easy and adapt to the skyrocketing talent and ability first, and then promote him after he had mastered it completely.
As for the Dragon Law, just wait for a while.
After doing all this, all the spoils that could be used immediately were used. The next step was to count the subordinates and promote them.
Countless amounts of people were killed in this battle. Those who survived could be called veterans of hundreds of battles, and all of them could be promoted more than one level.
Li Qing did not hesitate and began to spend money to promote them.
First, the 391 surviving first-level imperial infantrymen were promoted to second-level senior infantrymen at a cost of 782,000.
Spend another 1.564 million to be promoted to third-level elite infantry.
After being promoted to the third rank, nearly a quarter of them had enough experience to be promoted again to the fourth rank of Imperial Heavy Infantry.
In addition, of the 880 surviving former third-tier Imperial Elite Infantrymen, nearly half had accumulated enough combat experience to be promoted again after this battle. The two together amounted to 534 Imperial Elite Infantrymen, which cost him 26.7 million to be promoted to fourth-tier Imperial Heavy Infantrymen.
In addition, among the existing 422 Imperial heavy infantry, more than one hundred have accumulated enough combat experience to be promoted to the fifth level.
Li Qing took out 79 fifth-level Imperial Elite Mo Dao Soldiers unlocking cards in his hand to unlock 79 fourth-level heavy infantrymen, and all of them were promoted to Imperial Elite Mo Dao Soldiers.
In fact, he wanted to be promoted to the fifth-level Dragon Scale Heavy Infantry. Actual combat had proved that this type of soldier had too strong a defense and was extremely useful in positional warfare. Unfortunately, he did not have the unlocking card for this type of soldier, so he had to give up.
After completing the infantry promotion, Li Qing now has a total of 54 fifth-level Imperial Dragon Scale Heavy Infantry.
124 fifth-level imperial elite Modao soldiers.
877 fourth-tier imperial heavy infantry.
737 third-level imperial elite infantry.
There was no one below level three, and after this battle, all of them were promoted to level three or above.
Archer units have also been promoted, but the archers' efficiency in killing undead is too low, and their overall damage is far inferior to that of infantry.
However, no matter how poor the base number is, at least the 460 surviving first-level imperial archers have accumulated enough combat experience to be promoted to second-level senior archers, but only a dozen of them can be promoted to three levels in succession, which is far less than the infantry where all members can be promoted two or three levels in succession.
In addition, out of the original 1,012 third-tier elite imperial archers, only about a quarter were able to be promoted again, and after experiencing such a battle, the combat experience accumulated by three-quarters was not enough for promotion.
Only the original fourth-tier imperial archer has a slightly higher combat efficiency. After all, the strength of the bow and the shooting accuracy are there, and the killing efficiency is higher.
There are nearly a hundred people who can be promoted to the fifth level, but he only has 42 unlocking cards for the fifth-level Imperial Elite Sharpshooters, so he has to let them be promoted first.
The remaining sharpshooters who have accumulated enough experience can only wait and unlock the upgrade directly after getting more unlock cards in the future.
After the promotion, he will have 60 fifth-level imperial elite shooters.
502 fourth-level imperial sharpshooters.
829 third-level imperial elite archers.
442 second-level imperial veteran shooters.
In addition, the surviving cavalrymen had accumulated enough experience for promotion.
Although the underground environment is not suitable for cavalry charges, they can dismount and serve as infantry, with quite good results.
Previously, the worst troops under his command were the third-tier Imperial Heavy Cavalry. There were 160 of them originally, and 144 survived. All of them had accumulated enough combat experience for promotion, and all of them were promoted to fourth-tier Imperial Armored Cavalry.
Of the original 53 fourth-tier Imperial Armored Cavalry, nearly half had accumulated enough combat experience to be promoted to fifth-tier Imperial Elite Armored Cavalry.
After the promotion, he will have 76 fifth-level imperial elite armored cavalry.
170 fourth-tier imperial armored cavalry.
In addition to these, the five ogres under his command were all killed in this battle.
They have a slightly lower IQ and are easily carried away in battle. Once they get carried away and rush into the undead creatures, they are basically doomed to die.
The Lava Crystal Dragon killed countless people in this battle, and its level was raised from level 71 to level 75. With his current strength, it is very impressive to be able to level up four levels.
All twenty-six iron golems were present, but most had minor damage and needed repair, and five were seriously damaged and required major repairs.
More than thirty of the more than one hundred stone golems were completely destroyed, and the remaining ones were all injured, with more than half of them seriously injured.
Facts have proved that the Iron Golem is still the best.
In the previous battlefield, the Iron Golems were the real backbone, facing the main attack of the Undead and confronting large Undead such as the Abomination head-on, but not a single one was lost, which is enough to prove their strength.
Of course, the main reason is that this Scourge Lord is only a reserve Scourge Lord, not a real Scourge Lord, and he does not have more powerful troops.
This battle also made Li Qing change his mind. He decided not to build rock golems anymore because it was a waste of time.
Wouldn't it be more fun to use this time to build a few iron golems?
In addition to these conventional troops, the most important one is the dragon vein snakeman.
There were a total of 905 Dragon Vein Snakemen, and none of them died in this battle. The killing efficiency of all their artillery was extremely high, and their strength also underwent a qualitative change after this battle.
They don't need to spend money to get promoted, they will be promoted automatically as long as they have accumulated enough combat experience.
So when Li Qing counted, he saw that the total number of Dragon Vein Snakemen who had been promoted to the sixth level had reached an astonishing 255. Most of the remaining 650 had reached the fifth level, less than a hundred were at the fourth level, and there was not a single one at the third level or below.
"very good, very powerful!"
After finishing the inventory, Li Qing felt a little inflated.
With such an elite force, he would dare to challenge an ordinary Scourge Lord alone... I don't think so.
I am not sure whether I can win or not, but the losses will definitely be huge.
After the review of the troop promotions, Li Qing was left with just over 10 million yuan in funds, which was not enough for another major promotion.
Now that the plane is closed, there is no way to make money. If another one comes later, there will be no money to upgrade.
"My head hurts!"
Money can’t buy some really good things, but it is indispensable. It is the most basic material.
"That's good. We can take a rest here first."
After setting this tone, Li Qing then assigned work to his subordinates, asking them to open mountains and chisel stones.
He used the space in his palm to combine several large siege vehicles, whose rams were made of pure steel. He used these things to ram the huge rocks that had collapsed underground on the other side of the city-state.
After the pieces were smashed, they were lifted aside. When enough pieces had accumulated, Li Qing collected them using the space in his palm and then combined them into stone for his own use.
He doesn't need to supervise this personally. Several of his subordinates can take turns to supervise, and he only needs to clean up the rubble every once in a while.
After arranging his work, he plunged into the core tower of the divine realm to study the inheritance package of the Mage City-State. There was so much magical knowledge in it that it attracted his attention.
The first thing he opened was the design of the floating city he had been dreaming about.
After the card pack was opened, a large amount of information appeared in front of Li Qing, making him dizzy.
This design is very comprehensive, including all the systems of a standard floating city.
Even the inverted mountains needed to build floating cities are included in the legendary cutting technique used to cut mountains.
A legendary wizard used this cutting technique to cut a mountain from the waist or foot of the mountain, then used a huge floating ring to suspend the mountain, then turned it upside down, and then built a floating city on the cross-section of the inverted mountain.
From basic flight modules, including floating rings and more.
Then to the defense module.
Combat module.
And the most important energy core, such as the famous Nether energy core.
However, the manufacturing method of this thing has long been lost. When the wizard heroes of human civilization build their own floating cities, they mostly use similar super energy cores or other similar treasures instead of the Nether energy cores.
In addition, the main mage tower and at least eight subsidiary mage towers in the floating city are all powered by energy pools, which can replace the Nether energy core.
But no matter which method is used, none of them is as useful as the Nether Core. After all, this thing is a perpetual motion machine with almost infinite energy. It can support any floating city no matter how big it is.
It is worth mentioning that the base of the floating city does not necessarily have to be an inverted mountain, that was a very ancient version.
The specifications of floating cities in different planes are different, and some of them are directly lifted up by magic.
Some directly use the method of building a battleship to build a huge basic framework, and build a strange floating city similar to an interstellar fortress.
After human civilization acquired the technology of floating cities, their appearances became even more diverse, with all kinds of shapes appearing.
Li Qing's idea was also to use a non-mainstream method, using the space in his palm to directly synthesize the frame, directly using steel to make the base module, and then assembling them together.
Of course, this is just an idea. The actual operation will not be considered until he is about to be promoted to a legend. He will definitely not consider it now.
It is made entirely of steel, so how much material is needed?
Not to mention that it needs to be filled with a huge amount of refined gold frames, as well as the huge amount of mithril and various magic materials required by the various systems of the floating city. There are nine wizard towers alone, with one main one and eight replicas. The magic materials required are huge, and it is impossible to get them together now.
So now Li Qing just took a look, satisfied his eyes, and then put it away.
Then, take out the magic rune bag and open it.
There are 445 basic runes, 128 rare runes, and 16 ultra rare runes.
"Good fellow, you really have something hidden."
He remembered that the exchange list that the Mage City-State gave him did not include so many rare runes and super rare runes.
