Chapter 70 Weird Luck and Weird Loot
Li Qing kept thinking about this until the eighth gap was made in the city wall. At this point, he could no longer wait and could only order an attack on the city.
Long Shou rushed out first, attracting a large amount of firepower from the defenders on the city wall.
The fully armed soldiers in super-strong synthetic leather armor followed the dragon guard and attacked the city wall along the gap, engaging in a melee with the mixed forces of snakemen and werewolves squeezed in the gap of the city wall.
The dragon guard who was squeezed in the gap in the city wall felt that he could not do anything at this time, so he jumped from the edge of the gap to the top of the city wall about four meters high. He opened his mouth to gather strength, and sprayed a breath of dragon's breath at the defenders in the city below.
The breath of the dragon guardian has become a real dragon's breath after the dragon bloodline is upgraded to LV3. The LV2 dragon's breath has been strengthened twice by the hero's specialties, and now the total range has become a large-scale AOE with a maximum width of 19 meters and a length of 45 meters.
A burst of flames spurted down, like a wave of flames washing the ground, quickly sweeping across the inside of the gap in the city wall.
Dozens of snakemen and hundreds of jackals crowded near the gap instantly turned into hundreds of human-shaped fire pillars, and fell to the ground and lost their lives in less than three seconds.
The power of Long Shou's dragon breath at this time has been qualitatively enhanced compared to before. Ordinary soldiers will be killed instantly if they come into contact with it, and there is no chance of survival.
With just this one breath of dragon, all the defenders in one of the gaps were burned to death.
The next step was to follow the same method. Long Shou quickly ran to another gap and opened his mouth to release a second breath of dragon to wash the ground, instantly killing dozens of snakemen and hundreds of jackals.
The snakemen who reacted quickly focused their fire on the dragon guard. The snakemen crossbowmen and werewolf archers turned around quickly and shot hundreds of arrows. With a series of crisp clanging sounds, countless arrows were bounced off by the thick dragon scales, and the dragon guard was unharmed.
The 30% damage reduction of dragon scales refers to the 30% damage reduction that exceeds the dragon scales' defense. Dragon scales themselves have super strong basic defense.
The basic physical defense of LV2 dragon scales is comparable to high-carbon steel plate armor, and ordinary arrows cannot penetrate it at all.
The defenders in the two gaps were completely wiped out, and the troops quickly rushed in from here and began to assist the friendly forces in other gaps.
Ten fifth-level elite Modao soldiers rushed to the front first. The two sides engaged in battle and slashed down with their swords at the same time, splitting the dozen or so snake people in the front row into two halves, including their armor.
The hand rises and the knife falls.
The hand rises and the knife falls.
He repeated this process, and every time he raised his sword and chopped down, no matter whether it was a snake man or a wolf man, no matter whether it was wearing leather armor or mail armor, it would be cut in half with one strike, and no one would escape.
The fifth-level elite troops could kill these first- and second-level aliens instantly, and crushed them like a whirlwind.
At this moment, the magic tower in the center of the town was finally charged, and the light on its surface slowly lit up and quickly gathered towards the top of the tower.
Li Qing immediately ordered:
"Everyone, spread out and increase your distance."
The soldiers who had rehearsed the drill immediately dispersed and formed groups of five as they had practiced before, with a distance of about five or six meters between each group.
At the same time, Li Qing took out the war magic book and opened it. An energy card collapsed and seeped into the book. After a short spell, Li Qing stretched out his hand and pointed. A ball of light flew over one of the gaps and split into one hundred streams of light and fell down.
A ball of light immediately appeared over the fifty or so soldiers who were fighting in the gap and protected them.
War Magic - Magic Shield, can cast a magic shield for up to 100 subordinates to resist damage.
In particular, the ten elite Modao soldiers were given special attention and all of them were equipped with shields.
Although they can withstand the power of one ring of magic lightning with their strength, he is not sure whether the war magic in the magic tower is magic lightning. If it is another kind of small-scale and high-power war magic, wouldn’t that be a trap?
Casting war spells with a war magic book is much faster than using a magic tower.
After he sent out the magic shield blessing, the magic tower in the snake town slowly condensed successfully, and then an extremely thick electric light flew out from the top of the tower and hit the city wall.
"fine!"
In an instant, lightning exploded, and more than 20 infantrymen in several scattered teams were all hit. Except for the elite Modao soldiers with shields and several soldiers above level three, those below level two were killed instantly on the spot.
The super strong synthetic leather armor with physical defense comparable to plate armor is like paper in the face of spells and is easily crushed into powder by magic power.
"good!"
It's not a big problem if only twenty or so people died. This magic tower needs fifteen minutes to condense one shot. With my own strength, it won't take long to capture the town.
"No, it can be faster!"
He thought about it and asked the two cavalrymen who were following him to go back and notify the ambush troops a mile away to join the battle as well.
Since the Snakeman Mage is not joining the battle and has no support, there is no need to wait any longer. Joining the battle can reduce losses and capture the town faster.
In the following battle, Li Qing stayed on the arrow tower outside the city and had no intention of entering the city.
Li Qing sighed as he watched his troops sweeping through the defenders in the city like a whirlwind.
Last time, I could only destroy a town by cheating with the pseudo-meteorite technique, but now I can sweep a town head-on. The change is quite big.
Therefore, as long as the original capital accumulates fast enough, the strength will grow rapidly like a snowball and soon exceed ordinary people's imagination.
Fifteen minutes later, the magic tower in the snakeman town began the second round of magic lightning bombardment.
This time they had already entered the city and the troops were relatively scattered. Li Qing didn't even use the magic tower for protection, but only a dozen of his men died.
Although the range of 30*30 meters is large, the losses can still be controlled if you are prepared.
Half an hour later, the ambushing troops in the rear arrived. The already superior Divine Realm troops instantly gained an absolute advantage and quickly defeated the town defenders.
Some fled, while others retreated to the high tower in the center of the town and fought back.
There are two fourth-level heroes in the town, a snakeman warrior, a fourth-level snakeman warlock, and several third-level snakeman mages.
But they did not play their due role at all. The moment they appeared, they were pounced on and pinned to death by Long Shou. He did not even show his flying ability.
When the troops gather at the bottom of the magic tower, the tower's spells cannot reach their feet.
Long Shou fired a dragon breath ray to force the door open, and many soldiers rushed into the magic tower, and the tower was soon occupied.
This also means that the entire battle has ended, and the next step is to clean up the battlefield.
From beginning to end, Li Qing did not enter the town even after the magic tower was confirmed to have fallen.
Only after all the defenders in the town were wiped out did he, surrounded by his men, enter the town through the open city gate.
The square covered with blood and body parts was crowded with terrified townspeople and slaves. Li Qing, surrounded by his men, came to the square and stood still. The bloody Long Shou strode to him with rising blood and knelt on one knee, saying loudly:
"My Lord, we have captured the town!"
Li Qing nodded:
"Thanks for your hard work!"
After saying that, he looked up at the various races, numbering seven or eight thousand, including snakemen, gnolls , lizardmen, kobolds, humans, a small number of dwarves, and other alien races, and he fell into deep thought.
Xie Heng came to him and asked in a low voice:
"Boss, what should we do with these aliens?"
Li Qing looked up at the three brothers Xie Heng and Xie Zhu and asked:
"What do you think?"
Xie Heng replied:
"Leave the humans and dwarves to take back to God's Domain, and kill the rest."
"Or we can just bet everything back on God's Domain and sell everything except the humans and dwarves."
At this time Xie Jin said:
"Just kill them. They are not worth much. An ordinary kobold is only about 200, an ordinary gnoll is only 800, and a snakeman is 1,500. Most of them are kobolds and other things that are not worth much. All together, they are only about four or five million. It will be too much trouble to send them back."
Xie Zhu rolled his eyes at his brother:
"What do you mean only four or five million? Are you crazy?"
Li Qing was also speechless.
However, he also felt that this idea was quite troublesome, because after a short rest, he still had to continue attacking the next target. Now he couldn't open the door to the divine realm, and he really had no way to deal with so many prisoners.
But it would be a pity to let it go, after all, there are still four or five million.
"So……"
Li Qing gritted his teeth, waved to Xie Zhu to come over, and whispered a few words in his ear.
A hint of surprise appeared on Xie Zhu's face, and Shao Qing nodded.
Soon Xie Zhu began to mobilize the troops to separate the captives. The humans and dwarf natives were separated, and the other natives were all driven to the other side and surrounded by a large number of soldiers.
As Xie Zhu stretched out his hand and waved, the infantrymen drew their swords and rushed forward to start killing crazily.
The massacre lasted for a full hour, and a large number of snakemen, gnolls, kobolds, lizardmen and other alien races were killed, leaving only less than a thousand humans and dwarves.
All the corpses were pulled together and stored in the space in Li Qing's palm, where he skillfully decomposed them into pure flesh and blood essence and pure soul essence.
All impurities and resentment of death are purified.
Li Qing had no psychological burden in slaughtering so many lives.
These are all alien races. In their eyes, humans are just a kind of food.
To humans, all other races are killable, even dwarves and elves, two races that are extremely similar to humans.
It’s just that under normal circumstances, dwarves and elves are extremely intelligent and can be considered advanced species. They have outstanding potential and are more valuable, so they are generally not killed.
At this time, Li Qing's operation was not much different from that of a normal war lord. The worthless aliens were either sold or slaughtered, leaving only some valuable ones.
As for the humans and dwarves who stayed behind, Li Qing asked Xie Zhu to escort them back to the divine realm with two hundred of his men.
The next step was to collect supplies in the town. A large number of soldiers entered the city and searched house by house, especially the magic tower and the lord's mansion in the center of the town, which were the focus of the search.
It was a pity that the divine domain had already been unfolded and the gate to the divine domain could not be opened, otherwise he would have certainly torn down the entire town, leaving not even a stone behind.
Two hours later, the search was completed and a large amount of supplies were piled up in the central square of the town, and then were collected by Li Qing into the space in his palm.
“This space… doesn’t seem to be enough!”
I didn't feel anything at first. After all, it has a diameter of one hundred meters and a very high capacity. But now I can't open the divine realm directly, so the capacity of this thing is not as large as I imagined.
Now a large part of the space inside is filled with supplies, such as food and various siege tools, and there is not much space left.
But no matter what, they are still stronger than other war lord apprentices. After they deploy their divine domain, they still need a strong army to protect their logistics.
The troops then camped in the town, preparing to stay for a day.
Li Qing did not live in the lord's mansion, but took out an arrow tower and placed it in the central square of the town.
In the armory, Li Qing rubbed his hands together, and three balls of trophy light appeared in his hands. They were the trophies from conquering the town and the two heroes.
"Heaven and earth, please give me something good."
After a pause, he added before opening it:
"I don't want any race or troop cards, I just want the good stuff."
After saying that, he reached into the rightmost ball of light, raised his eyebrows, and took out a card with a faint red glow.
Two-star Hero Card - Pyromancer: Convert a humanoid with a blue name or above into a two-star hero, Pyromancer.
"What the hell?"
Li Qing was shocked.
This is too cool. If you say it’s good stuff, it’s really good stuff.
A two-star hero transformation card, and an extremely rare hero transformation card with a confirmed profession.
At this moment, Li Qing felt that his faith was shaken.
At this moment, the thought crossed his mind whether he was the protagonist of human destiny. This was exactly what he said.
After touching his face and chin to calm his complicated emotions, Li Qing reached into the second ball of light from the town's snake lord, then paused again, with an even weirder look on his face.
"It's not that weird!"
He stretched out his hand, and a card with a faint golden glow appeared in his hand.
Lower Lord Guard Card: 3/3, summons a team of Lower Lord Guards to fight for you, including 2 fourth-level team leaders and 20 third-level guard members.
Note 1: You can decide the guard's race, occupation, weapons and equipment, and gender.
Note 2: After being summoned, the guards will obey your orders completely. After 3 hours, they will disappear regardless of whether they died in battle. You can summon them three times at the same time and they will exist at the same time. They will disappear after being used.
"Emm..."
Li Qing had nothing to say.
Putting the cards away, he let out a long breath, looked at the largest spoils card for conquering a town in the center, reached his hand into it, paused for a moment with an expressionless face, muttered something, and slowly withdrew his hand after a few seconds.
The loot ball of light collapsed, and he was left with only three cards of different colors.
The first one is a source card that emits a faint silver light and contains 11 points of source.
Adding the remaining points in his hand, Li Qing now has 27 points of source energy.
The second is a War Magic Card, which contains a page of War Magic Lightning, which allows the user to use War Magic up to three times a day, consuming their own mana. If they are combat heroes, their own physical strength will be converted into mana consumption.
This thing is sustainable, not a disposable scroll.
The third one is a hero skill point.
This harvest is simply outrageous, all of them are top-quality items. There is not a single monster card obtained from the last destruction of the snakeman town. It's simply outrageous.
At this moment, Li Qing was very sure that his luck was not normal. The spoils of a normal war lord would never be the same as his.
However, although he knew it was abnormal, he didn't know what aspect caused the abnormality.
