Chapter 17: Go to the Extraterritorial Plane Fragment for Training
The Imperial Cavalry Promotion Card is a level five card, which can be used to upgrade to level five Imperial Armored Cavalry. This card costs 80,000 yuan per card, and I can't afford it with the remaining balance.
As for the cards on hand...
Li Qing thought about it for a while and decided to strengthen it.
Every five ordinary promotion cards can be combined into an elite arms card, every five elite arms cards can be combined into an elite arms card, every five elite arms cards can be combined into a terrifying template arms card, and so on.
145 Imperial Infantry Promotion Cards, if you combine five cards into one, you can get a total of 29 elite-quality Imperial Infantry Promotion Cards.
And then……
Li Qing thought about it carefully for a while and decided not to continue the synthesis.
It is certain that elite-quality soldiers are much stronger than ordinary soldiers, but their numbers are too small and their tolerance for error is too low.
However, although the infantry cannot be synthesized further, the Imperial Archers can, and this elite force is much stronger than ordinary ones.
A total of 160 Imperial Archer unit cards are synthesized into 32 Elite Imperial Archer Promotion Cards, and then 25 of them are synthesized into 5 elite-quality Imperial Archers. Add the remaining 7 elite-quality Imperial Archers, a total of 12 long-range archer promotion cards.
There are not many of them, and they are all elite.
After returning to the divine realm, he immediately used this batch of promotion cards.
The existing arms in the Divine Realm.
Tier Zero Imperial Infantry (Elite): 29
First-class Imperial Infantry (Ordinary): 10
First-class Imperial Infantry (Elite): 5 people.
Tier 0 Imperial Archers (Elite): 7
Tier 0 Imperial Archers (Elite): 5
First-class Imperial Archers (Ordinary): 10
First-class Imperial Archers (Elite): 5
First-class Imperial Cavalry (Elite): 5 people.
There are 76 professional soldiers in total. The scale is not very large, but the quality is extremely high. As long as they can be upgraded, they will be a very powerful force.
Early the next morning, Li Qing received a bank card from an elder of the family stationed in the Academy City, which contained 200,000 family subsidies.
As a member of the family, you will receive an additional subsidy of 200,000 yuan every quarter.
Considering that he is about to go out with his mentor for training, this quarter's subsidy will be paid now.
This subsidy amount can only be said to be average, not high at all. Compared with the subsidies of several other members of his ethnic group in the same period, it is at the bottom.
Although I don't know how much subsidies the other members of the same clan receive, considering that Zhao Dingzhen receives a 10 million subsidy every quarter from his father, the official war lord, it can only be said to be rubbish.
It is worth mentioning that 10 million in subsidies is the upper limit of subsidies allowed by the War College for first-year War Lord apprentices.
The rules set by the Supreme Council of Humanity state that no matter how good their origins are, war lord apprentices are not allowed to receive unlimited support from their families after entering the War Lord Academy. The maximum subsidy per quarter for the first year is 10 million, 20 million for the second year, and 50 million for the third year.
Other than that, there are no other rules.
Not necessary.
What can’t you buy with a subsidy of 10 million per quarter?
Although Li Qing's 200,000 is not much, it is better than ordinary people having nothing. Moreover, the better his performance in the academy, the higher the subsidy will be.
Time passed, and two days passed unknowingly. On this day, Li Qing received a notice from their counselor, senior Pan Yuan, asking them to prepare for departure.
Li Qing came out of the dormitory and saw many airships parked around the square next to the Black Stone Tower.
These two days are the days when all the mentors take their subordinates away from the war apprentices and go to a certain plane fragment for training.
The square was full of young apprentices, among whom were a number of red-robed seniors, who were the instructors under the various mentors.
Li Qing quickly spotted Pan Yuan in the crowd, who was gathering apprentices under mentor Nie Yang, and quickly walked over.
"Li Qing, you're here just in time, hurry up and get on the airship."
Li Qing nodded and climbed the stairs following the handrail.
This is a large magic airship, powered by a mixture of steam and magic. It is about 60 meters long, with a bottom cabin that is 40 meters long and about 6 meters wide, and has two floors. There are also two large pods at both ends of the airship that can transport supplies.
This thing has a very thick outer layer of armor, and at critical moments you can activate the magic circle attached to it to resist damage.
The speed of the airship is not fast, but it has a large cargo capacity and can enter the void in a short time. It is the lowest level of inter-dimensional transportation.
Most ordinary war lords use this thing to travel between plane fragments.
The airship cabin is quite spacious, more than enough to accommodate all members of the mentor team, all apprentices, as well as some assistants and staff.
The lower level of the airship is the public area, and the upper level is the airship control room and temporary living area.
After getting on board, Li Qing followed Pan Yuan's instructions and quickly found a small room by the window. He put down the sign on the door to indicate that someone was there.
The room is very small, with only enough space for a bed, but it doesn't seem cramped because it is next to the window.
The distance from here to the edge of this plane fragment group is long. It takes a week for the airship to reach the destination, and you have to eat and sleep on the airship before that.
The assembly took only two hours. After the instructor called the roll twice, the airship slowly took off with a vibration.
Li Qing looked out the window at the ground slowly moving away and sent a message to Zhao Dingzhen:
"I am leaving!"
Soon Zhao Dingzhen also sent a message:
"I'll leave right away too!"
"Bon Voyage!"
"Bon voyage, I hope that when we meet again, both you and I will have achieved something!"
"must."
After turning off the communication, Li Qing slowly leaned his head on the pillow.
The magic airship slowly rose into the air, stopped at an altitude of more than one thousand meters, slowly adjusted its direction, and flew away into the distance.
Looking down from the sky, Blackrock Tower is located among a group of hills, surrounded by small peaks of varying heights. The Academy City is built around Blackrock Tower.
Above his head was a vortex of black clouds that was surging like a tide. With his eyesight, he was unable to see what was above the black clouds.
The sky is gray and the entire plane fragment is shrouded in fog all year round.
According to the map, the plane fragment they are in is quite large, about 8,000 square kilometers, but it is not the largest in this plane fragment group.
The power of Blackrock Spire can often capture plane fragments flowing through the vicinity of this plane fragment group, and occasionally capture some plane fragments that are larger than the central plane fragment.
But under the power constraints of Blackrock Tower, these plane fragments can only be constrained in the surrounding areas even if their areas are larger than the central plane fragments.
The fragments of the central plane are relatively safe and have been fully developed after hundreds of years. Coming out of the Blackrock Tower, you can see the endless farmlands on the plains outside, and occasionally you can see small villages or towns at the intersection of farmlands and canals.
These villages and farmlands are all the property of the Blackrock Realm Lord. The food produced is supplied to the Blackrock Spire War Lord apprentices. The rice that Li Qing bought at the academy is basically produced here.
The airship slowly passed through large tracts of farmland and pastures, gradually approaching the edge of the plane fragment.
As he moved away from the Blackrock Tower, Li Qing discovered that the temperature of the air was slowly dropping.
About a day later, he saw the edge of the plane.
At the edge of the horizon, there was a very obvious black area. As I got closer, I realized that the black area was the pitch-black void beyond the edge of the plane.
The world is fractured here, and the earth comes to an abrupt end here. Beyond a thin layer of light curtain is a dark void. The surging void energy erodes the edge of the plane to form a violent hurricane. From time to time, large pieces of rock and soil are eroded and fall off at the edge of the bare earth, and are swept into the void and disappear.
Occasionally, large pieces of rock are seen rolling at the edge of the plane. These are large pieces of rock being swept into the void, but they cannot melt in a short time.
The plane fragments are not protected by a complete plane crystal wall, and the earth inside the plane is constantly being eroded by the void energy and shrinking.
This main plane is protected by Blackrock Spire and is not severely eroded.
Some unprotected small plane fragments drifting in the void are severely eroded by void energy. If their size is not large enough, they will be easily eroded away, and the entire plane fragment will turn into nothingness and merge into the void.
The airship arrived at the edge of the plane. With a slight muffled sound, a layer of white light appeared on the surface of the airship, and then it plunged into the void.
"boom!"
The airship shook violently, as if it was entering a bumpy mountain road.
But the shaking did not last long. As the airship entered the void for a distance and passed through the area where the conflict between the void and the plane was intense, the shaking became stable.
The void distance between plane fragments is not far, the narrowest distance is only a few kilometers, but it is not safe.
In addition to the void tides that appear from time to time, the most dangerous are the void creatures living in the void.
Most of these void creatures live in the chaotic void. There are also some in the void between plane fragments, but not many, and there are no large void creatures.
But no matter how weak the creatures that can live in the void are, they can’t be that weak. Even the smallest void creature has a strength of level six or above.
They were lucky and safely passed through a void less than ten kilometers long and entered another plane fragment closest to the main fragment.
As soon as we entered, we saw a group of level 6, stage 0 vampire bats rushing towards the airship.
This is a bat the size of a medium-sized dog, with a wingspan of more than one meter. It sucks blood and likes to move in groups.
There were probably two to three hundred vampire bats swooping down on the airship. When they were more than a hundred meters away from the airship, Li Qing only felt a light outside the window, and five thick chain lightning bolts suddenly flew out from the airship.
With a burst of crackling sounds, countless vampire bats were turned into black charcoal ashes and disappeared.
The remaining vampire bats continued to approach, and a huge burning hand flew out of the airship, quickly expanding to a radius of more than 20 meters and flew over.
Large pieces of the flesh membrane on the vampire bat's wings were burnt and shattered, and all fell down in an instant.
This plane fragment is not big and has not been developed. There is only a small forest in the south of the entire plane fragment, and the rest of the place is mostly wasteland. This group of vampire bats live in underground caves at the edge of the forest.
It only took two hours to pass through this small plane fragment and enter the void again.
Two hours later, the magic airship passed through the void and entered a new plane fragment.
Over and over again, it continued to pass through the plane fragments, and unknowingly moved away from the central plane.
Most of the plane fragments are empty, but some of them are large enough and have perfect internal rules, and there are a large number of creatures in them. In some plane fragments, you can even see traces of towns or villages.
Generally, this is because there are senior students who are providing training.
Either there are some fixed resources here, or a fixed base will be established here.
Five days later, the airship passed through a piece of desolate plane fragment and entered the void again.
As soon as they entered the void, an alarm suddenly sounded on the airship:
"Everyone sit down, don't be nervous, don't move around."
Then the airship quickly turned around, and just as it turned around, it suddenly shook violently, as if it was hit by a heavy object.
Then, the airship shook violently again, and two dull crashing sounds were heard in succession.
Li Qing twisted the handrail tightly. The impact occurred on the other side of the airship. He couldn't see it and didn't know what kind of void creature was hitting the airship.
But judging from the sound of the collision, it is estimated to be quite large.
Not long after, the airship turned around and returned to the plane fragment not far away.
At this time, Li Qing also saw the void creature that hit the airship. It was a void creature with a body length of about 100 meters. It looked like a crocodile, but it had three long tails and its body looked very flexible.
At this time, four mentors left the airship and stood in the void, each holding a crystal staff and shooting out a beam of light to connect with each other, unfolding a huge transparent light curtain to trap the void monster.
This barrier seemed to be specially designed to deal with void creatures. It was very tough and could not be broken no matter how hard the void monster hit it.
But it only had defense and no attack capability, and apart from trapping the monster it did not cause any damage at all.
After the airship turned around and returned to the plane, the four mentors quickly jumped back into the plane using the portal.
The free void monsters wandered back and forth around the edge of the plane, but were helpless.
Although void creatures are very powerful, they can only live in the void and cannot enter the plane.
To them, the energy in the void is like oxygen to humans. If they don't breathe it for a long time, they will die.
The air in the plane is extremely poisonous to them. At the same time, the rules in the plane are different from those in the void. They enter the plane like fish out of water. They will be fine in the short term, but will dry up and die in the long term.
The airship stopped for a while in the plane , then changed direction and prepared to take a detour.
This time I was lucky enough not to encounter that void creature, and I passed through the void safely into another dimension.
Li Qing was thoughtful about what he saw and heard along the way.
If there is no means of teleportation, once you are stranded in the void plane, it is basically impossible to go back.
Magic airships can only travel short distances and are generally used for internal transportation within a plane, or to cross two plane fragments that are very close to each other. It is impossible to rely on magic airships to cross the distances between real planes, which are often millions or tens of millions.
You should know that the void creature of about one hundred meters that we just encountered is the weakest void creature, and its size is the smallest among the void creatures.
There is no gravity in the void, and the size of the monsters inside is almost limitless, often tens or hundreds of kilometers in size.
If encountering such a huge monster, there is no need to attack. Just brushing past it will shatter the magic airship into pieces.
