Volume 1 Feathering Chapter 23 Militia Advancement
After killing another group of wild wolves, Levi was very satisfied with the performance of the elite spearman Zhou Miyin, because his skill of resisting charges could actually be effective when facing wild wolves, causing additional damage to them.
But it's no wonder. Those wolves ran all the way stupidly and then bumped into his spears. It would be strange if they were not injured.
It is just that it is still not completely clear what is considered larger than medium size. However, since goblins and hobgoblins cannot make this skill effective, it should be effective for creatures larger than humans, right?
At this time, a militiaman suddenly shouted: "Sir, I have reached the bottleneck!"
Levi turned his head. He remembered the other person. He should be the first one to follow him. He was very brave in fighting and had some wisdom. More importantly, he was very lucky to be alive until now.
"What do you mean, you're going to advance?"
Speaking of which, the other side really participated in a lot of battles. Unfortunately, in this game, except for special existences like the God-chosen heroes, the experience points obtained by ordinary soldiers are based on their contributions in the battle.
Although this militiaman has fought many times, due to his own attributes, he cannot actually exert much power.
Especially after Donna and the half-elf hunters joined, the battle was often over before he even encountered the enemy. In this case, he naturally could not grow much.
While asking, he opened the other party's attribute panel. In fact, this thing is the most intuitive in many cases.
Then he realized that his opponent's experience value had reached 100% without him noticing, and now he could advance, and there was more than one choice.
At the same time, he also understood why he came to him specially. In addition to letting him make the decision, he also wanted him to pay.
Branch 1, Militia Captain, can slightly enhance the combat effectiveness of nearby militias, requires 85 copper coins
Branch 2, Volunteer Army, can enhance its own combat effectiveness, both offensive and defensive, requires 70 copper coins
Branch 3, Spearmen, can enhance their own combat effectiveness, good at fighting cavalry units, requires 60 copper coins
In addition to the introduction, there are three illusory figures, but their appearance has not changed much. The only difference is that their weapons have been slightly changed from pitchforks to more formal military weapons. The militia captain holds a long sword, and the volunteers hold knives and small shields.
He directly ignored the spearmen. The name sounded like a common type and they could probably be hired directly from the village in a couple of days. Besides, there was already an elite spearman, Zhou Miyin, in the team.
As for the militia captain, this might be a good choice for other chosen heroes in the early stages under normal circumstances, but it is not suitable for him.
As he made his choice, a white light flashed across the militiaman's body, his equipment became brand new, and he had more muscles.
Volunteer Army
Level: Level 1 (Normal), Experience value 0%.
Attributes: Strength 6, Agility 5, Constitution 5, Intelligence 2, Perception 2, Charisma 2
Health: 50
Mana: 0
equipment:
Long Sword (White - Normal): Attack 2-4;
Small Shield (White - Normal): When successfully blocking melee attacks and ranged projectiles, there is a 50% chance to reduce 1-3 points of damage. The effect does not stack with other damage blocking items.
Light Leather Armor (Gray - Rough): Defense 1-2.
Skill:
Heavy Chop, an active skill, charges slightly before slashing at the enemy, causing (1.2 times of own strength + weapon attack) damage, with a cooldown of 30 seconds.
Maintenance cost: Current 20 copper coins (weekly) / Recommended 50 copper coins (weekly)
Leadership consumption: 2.
(The Volunteers are both offensive and defensive warriors. Although the shields in their hands are small, they still have a certain effect)
The attribute improvement is not significant, the skills are okay but the base is too low and they can't play much of a role at all. It's better than nothing though.
The biggest advantage is that his constitution adjustment value has changed from the original 0.8 to the current 1, the upper limit of health has been increased, and he also has a small shield. Next time he fights against the kobold slinger, he should be able to remain unscathed.
But as for the maintenance fee, is it the system's intention, or does he want a salary increase himself?
But it's not a big problem. Just kill a group of ogres and they will drop some rough gold ore, which is worth more than this money.
So he readily gave them a raise, and the volunteers thanked him profusely. The other militiamen were envious, and even the halfling thief Sam was slightly moved. Following this generous wizard might be a good choice. Unfortunately, he...
Before he could finish what he was saying, Donna beside him shouted, "Be careful, there seems to be an enemy!"
Sam's expression suddenly became stern. He rarely participated in frontal combat but was responsible for reconnaissance. Now he knew that he had failed in his duty.
Everyone was immediately on high alert. They saw the bushes swaying and occasionally a few loud voices shouting. After hearing the voices, Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, thinking that perhaps they were not enemies.
When the bushes parted, a group of bearded dwarves came out. Most of them were miners holding pickaxes, and only two were holding axes and shields. When they saw Levi waiting in full battle array, they were also stunned, and then they were overjoyed: "Are you the elf players nearby?"
Levi was not surprised at all that they were recognized so quickly. After all, the soldiers in his team were too mixed. There were a total of ten people, from several races. The indigenous people rarely had such a team .
He nodded: "Yes, you..."
Before he finished speaking, the leading dwarf couldn't wait to shout: "That's good, we are both in the lawful camp, come and help us, there is a small BOSS in the back, let's join forces to take him down!"
As he spoke, the dwarf took the initiative to lead his troops towards Levi's side, apparently intending to set up a battle array there and asking Levi to help hold the line.
But Levi is not stupid. How could such a good thing happen?
"Wait a minute, let's talk about who is the boss first. And all of me are half-elves. You don't expect them to take the lead, do you?"
Among the many initially selectable races, dwarves are known for their thick skin and strong body. In addition to the additional bonus to health from constitution, their racial talents include talent in mining and forging, as well as primary magic resistance.
Especially the last point, not only the God-chosen heroes, but all the dwarven soldiers are included, even the lowest-level level 0 miners are included, not to mention the mixed-blood half-elves, even the pure-blooded high elves do not have this treatment.
Although the weaker the dwarves are, the less bonus they will get in this regard, and the lowest-level dwarf miners only have 1 point of basic magic resistance, they do have it after all!
The Dwarf God-chosen Hero thought about it and realized that, yes, that was indeed the truth. Although the equipment of these guys in front of him looked okay, half-elves could not be compared with dwarves. After all, even the lowest-level dwarf miners had mail vests to wear.
He scratched his head a little silly and said: "I'm sorry, brother, I was reckless, then I will..."
Before he could finish his words, the bushes parted again, and a green-skinned orc who was over two meters tall, green all over, holding a rough bow, with a green face and fangs, rushed out first.
Next to him was an ugly creature that was over one meter tall and looked like an egg with legs.
However, this egg has a big mouth that is more than half a meter wide and full of sharp teeth and fangs. There is even a lot of broken flesh and blood hanging between its sharp teeth. It should have just eaten not long ago.
This even made Levi unable to tell for a moment which one of the opponents was the little boss.
Although this dwarf looks simple, he doesn't seem to be very smart.
So he simply stopped asking questions and directly ordered his troops to continue retreating and to create some distance between themselves and the enemy. This way, even if a bunch of strong enemies suddenly jumped out of the bushes, he would still have a chance to escape.
Apart from anything else, these short-legged dwarves are the best cannon fodder. While they have gained some advantages, their entire race has also paid a price for it!
