Chapter 5 Strengthening and deploying arms
He put his mind back on track. That was all a matter for the future. Now he had to use this golden finger to get some benefits and improve his strength as much as possible.
You should know that the War Lord Academy and the Junior Academy are two completely different concepts. It brings together all the War Lord apprentices in the entire Black Stone Realm, including academicians like Li Qing, as well as the direct descendants of the war lords of all sizes affiliated to the Black Stone Realm who have not entered the academy.
All the War Lord apprentices and heroes in the entire Blackrock Realm will gather in the War Lord Academy. Whether it is for fame, resources, or the unique rewards for Realm Lords that only the War Academy can give, the competition will be very fierce.
According to Instructor Fang Hai, the first class division will begin in the first week of entering the War College.
At that time, it will be decided which mentor you will be assigned to based on the existing strength and relationships in the Divine Realm. The gap in resources held by different mentors is very large. According to mentor Fang Hai, the gap in resources and relationships between the lowest and strongest mentors can be dozens of times.
Li Qing didn't expect to compete for the position of tutelage of those top-ranked special tutors, but at least he couldn't be at the bottom.
These are the only resources we have now, and we can only think of a solution based on these things.
Li Qing took out the remaining ten Imperial Infantry Promotion Cards, ten Imperial Archer Promotion Cards, and five Imperial Cavalry Promotion Cards and spread them out in his hands, and fell into deep thought.
Although he had never used them, he knew that these promotion be fused and strengthened, but he was a little hesitant about how much to strengthen them.
But he didn't hesitate for too long and made a decision quickly.
First, disassemble the nine wooden blocks inside, and then directly shape them into solid wooden boards that are 1.5 meters wide, 3 meters high, and five centimeters thick. One block can be made into five pieces with some left over.
This standard wooden board can be used to build houses, make furniture, and serve as earth walls, saving the people of the territory the trouble of sawing wood and drilling holes.
Normally, to process all these 200 cubic meters of wood into standard planks would take at least two or three months, given the current population of the territory and all the necessary tools, and there would also be a lot of wastage.
Now we can use space to directly decompose and shape the wood boards. Not only can the shaped wood boards be standardized and neat, but the loss can also be pieced together into small wooden boards, which can be used to make small furniture.
Of course, he only does rough processing of the materials. The actual construction of houses, furniture and walls still needs the work of the territory's dependents. It is not necessary for the lord to do everything himself.
If this happened outside, his move would definitely be shocking, but it was fine within his own divine domain. After all, once these followers entered the divine domain, they basically had no hope of getting out in this lifetime.
It took Li Qing two days to break down all 150 cubic meters of wood into standard boards, which he then moved out and gave to the villagers to build houses.
Considering the current size of the divine domain and the number of followers, it is just the size of a small village.
Then he emptied the space and threw two Imperial Infantry Promotion Cards into it, skillfully decomposing them into two balls of light containing complex runes.
The so-called promotion runes are a very complex system, based on runes, combined with magic, alchemy, forging, and blood-related supernatural disciplines to create a military promotion system.
This is very complicated and involves a lot of super-high-end extraordinary knowledge. Without sufficient accumulation, even a legendary wizard would not be able to get started.
It is said that if one wants to condense the throne of God and be promoted to the Lord of a realm, one must create a unique military system of one's own.
By mastering the source of this military system, one can continuously condense promotion runes, which can be used for personal use, or rewarded to subordinate heroes and vassals, or sold.
Of course, this is one way for aspiring war lords to ascend to the throne , but it does not mean that all thrones are promoted in this way.
There are more than 500 thrones among humans, but there are only more than 100 types of military systems circulating within human civilization, and many of them have low level caps, which are not enough to support the birth of a throne.
There are also many military systems that are not formed by themselves, but are acquired from other civilizations in foreign lands, or are military systems left over from the previous era.
Many war lords above level five are unable to consolidate their own military system, and will choose to rely on a throne that has his own military system. Such war lord thrones are lower-level war thrones.
The War Lord's Throne, which has its own unique military system, is the superior War Lord's Throne.
For example, the Lord of Blackrock is a lower-level war lord throne, which relies on the throne of order among the four supreme war monarchs. The military system he possesses is the human empire military system of the throne of order, which includes a complete set of military systems such as infantry, archers, javelin throwers, crossbowmen, cavalry and mounted archers, air cavalry and imperial mages.
Having said that, the military system is too far away from Li Qing, and he doesn't need to consider it before he is promoted to a formal war lord.
The two promotion runes merged into one and condensed into a card again.
Li Qing checked immediately and found that there seemed to be no major changes, and they were still standard imperial recruits.
But as the owner of this space, he can feel that there are indeed some changes, but the integration is not enough and is far from reaching the critical value of transformation.
Without further ado, he immediately took out two new cards and threw them in, decomposing them and merging them into the previous card.
This time he immediately noticed the drastic changes within the card, but after careful consideration, he still felt something was off. He took out another card and put it in. This time he clearly felt that the speed of condensation had increased a lot.
I checked the card as soon as it was formed and my eyes lit up immediately.
The five Imperial Infantry Promotion Cards are combined into one, which is still an Imperial Infantry Promotion Card. However, the Imperial recruits activated by this card are no longer ordinary templates, but elite templates.
The elite template increases its strength by about 30% on the original basis.
A single bonus isn't too outrageous, but if you can gather a group of elite soldiers, the combat effectiveness bonus will be considerable.
Needless to say, Li Qing decisively took out the remaining five Imperial Recruit Cards and threw them into the space, once again condensing an elite template Imperial Infantry Promotion Card.
"sure!"
If this method is used to accumulate a group of elite template troops, the combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly enhanced.
One elite infantryman certainly cannot defeat a group of five ordinary template imperial infantrymen, but five elite infantrymen can definitely sweep away five ordinary imperial infantrymen. When the command force is limited, all elite troops are definitely stronger.
You must know that these types of troops must be commanded by a hero in order to fight normally. Without a hero's command, the soldiers will become headless flies and collapse.
There is an upper limit to the number of troops each hero can command, so the more elite the better.
Next, the five Imperial Cavalry Promotion Runes in his hand made Li Qing hesitate for a long time, and ultimately he did not choose to fuse them.
The main reason is that if they are integrated, one cavalryman does not seem to be as effective as five cavalrymen, and the imperial cavalry system itself is an elite template with strong combat effectiveness.
However, he did not promote the five cavalrymen now because he had no war horses and did not have enough white-name dependents who met the standards.
Because the Imperial Cavalry is initially an elite template, to be promoted to cavalry, an adult warhorse must be promoted together. This way, the promoted cavalryman and the warhorse can become one, and the initial level is 18.
To be honest, the total value of the five cavalry promotion cards in his hand is more than the value of twenty imperial infantry cards and twenty imperial archers.
Although the things his parents prepared for him were not many, they were all very useful.
Li Qing appointed two elite infantrymen and two elite archers as the captain and deputy captain of the infantry and archers, and ordered them to negotiate and adjust the team to patrol in the divine realm while he was away. Then Li Qing left the divine realm.
After returning to the dormitory, Li Qing turned on his computer and logged into the internal trading platform of the Black Stone Realm, preparing to buy something.
There are quite a lot of things that are lacking in the divine realm right now, but most of them are not necessities for the time being, so you can wait and see.
He planned to purchase another batch of Imperial Infantry and Imperial Archer Promotion Cards to combine them into a few elite troop cards.
In addition, five war horses are needed to promote five imperial cavalrymen.
By then, there will be five imperial cavalrymen, twenty ordinary soldiers and ten elite soldiers. The combat effectiveness should exceed that of most civilians, and we should be able to be assigned to a good instructor when the classes are divided.
Imperial Infantry, Imperial Archers and Imperial Cavalry are all level 4 cards, which means that the upper limit of the promotion cards for these three types of soldiers is level 4.
But it doesn't mean that the upper limit of the Imperial Arms System is level four, but the promotion card he bought can only be promoted to level four. There are also level five, level six and even higher Imperial Arms promotion routes in the future, but he is not eligible to buy them.
Those high-level promotion runes were in the hands of powerful war lords, either for their own use or as rewards. If they occasionally leaked out, they would be sold at a sky-high price. There was no way a newcomer like him could possibly get them.
However, the fourth-level troop cards are enough to use. There are basically few opponents who can be upgraded to the fourth level in the plane fragment group where the War Lord Academy is located. If you upgrade a few, you can completely dominate the world.
The premise is that you can cultivate it.
This thing is too difficult to cultivate. It doesn't mean that you can cultivate it just because you have enough resources.
The training of soldiers is mainly for combat. Only by killing enemies on the battlefield and gaining combat experience can they be promoted.
War is a dangerous thing.
If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.
From ancient times to the present, how many soldiers have been able to survive the battlefield for a long time and have a good ending?
Too little.
Among a hundred imperial infantrymen who are trained as recruits, only one or two of them may be able to survive and be promoted to fourth-level heavy infantry.
Moreover, promotion to the fourth-level heavy infantry only ensures that they are strong enough to survive, but once they die in battle, they are gone.
A Level 4 Imperial Infantry Promotion Card costs 2,000 yuan each. Five cards can be combined to form an elite quality promotion card, and 20 cards are required, totaling 40,000 yuan.
You also need 20 Level 4 Imperial Archer Promotion Cards, but ranged troops are more expensive, 2,500 yuan each, and 20 cards cost a total of 50,000 yuan.
All in all, he needs to spend 90,000 yuan.
A standard imperial military horse costs 6,000 yuan each, and five horses cost a total of 30,000 yuan.
Then there are... twenty adult indigenous men of white quality, 1,000 yuan each, a total of 20,000 yuan.
All in all, 140,000 was spent, leaving 210,000.
Taking into account the need to support soldiers in the future, the monthly living expenses and maintenance costs of 35 full-time soldiers are already over 10,000 yuan. If they are upgraded in the future, their salary will be even higher.
There is not enough money to spend. Considering possible wasteful spending, the money now can only last about two or three months.
Well, the family may provide some support. If you rank well in the first class division and if you can get a good ranking among the overall first-year students when you enter the War College, you will receive financial support from the family.
But family support is always limited. Although the academy has no restrictions in this regard, human civilization has no limit on the upper limit of funding that war lords can provide to their descendants.
But any far-sighted parent would not provide unlimited resources in the early stages. Even when they first opened up the divine domain, even the initial supplies obtained by the direct descendants of the war lords were limited.
Although their restrictions may be ten or even dozens of times that of civilians, they are indeed limited.
They are well aware that if they are given unlimited resources at the beginning, they will indeed be very powerful in the initial stage, but this will make them lack training, adventurous and enterprising spirit.
Fortunately, now the newcomers who have just opened up the divine realm do not need to go to dangerous places. When they graduate from the academy in the future, all war lord apprentices will need to formally descend to the depths of the dangerous Chaos Void Sea and face the indigenous civilizations, monster lords, and other lord civilizations that have obtained the destiny of the new era like humans.
In the same situation, the flowers grown in the greenhouse will definitely not be able to survive as well as the civilians who have reached this point through their own efforts when faced with complex situations and various crises.
Only a war lord who combines both internal and external resources and has been tempered can go further.
Generally speaking, as long as any second generation is willing to endure hardships, work hard enough, and rely on a higher starting platform and more resources, most of their achievements will be higher than those of ordinary people's descendants.
After placing the order and closing the platform, Li Qing checked the communication again. There was still no news from his parents and they had not returned yet.
However, his family knew that he had successfully opened up the divine domain and was promoted to an apprentice of a war lord.
Although he did not contact the family, he needed to provide school verification to receive the family resource package.
A deacon from the family's main branch left him a message, congratulating him first and then giving him the contact information of the Blackrock War College. It was a shop of the family in the college city, and also the family's office there. All family members who needed to contact the family for any matter within the War College could go through this office.
After writing down the address and contact information on paper, Li Qing felt that he needed a personal terminal, otherwise it would be too inconvenient.
I reopened the trading platform and took a look at the platform that specializes in selling personal terminals. I quickly ordered a silver watch-style personal terminal for 2,000 yuan.
It only took one day for all the ordered cards and personal terminals to be delivered.
He turned around and brought the things into the divine realm, unlocked them, and immediately selected five indigenous men and five war horses to promote five cavalrymen.
The level 18 Imperial Cavalry is considered a first-tier troop. Judging from its level, it is definitely an extremely strong first-tier troop. Coupled with the bonus of elite troop types, even if there are only five horses, they still have good combat effectiveness.
With the cooperation of thirty archers, the combat power of the Divine Realm has been initially formed.
