Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 172 Simon's Advancement
It was not until a quarter of an hour later that this small commotion finally came to an end. Under the order of the village chief, most of the Spartans gradually dispersed, leaving only some elite villagers, as well as the village chief and elders.
Now all of them looked at Donna with eager eyes, no longer envy, but admiration and even worship, because she was a person blessed by God!
Then the village chief said without any nonsense, "Master Levi, we are willing to open the 1st to 3rd level recruitment quota to you today. At the same time, we also have a few young men who want to follow Master Donna. What do you think?"
Faced with such a good thing, how could Levi have any reason to refuse?
After all, he came here in the first place to recruit subordinates, and participating in the gladiatorial contest was just a coincidence!
Soon, there were 30 more level 3 Spartan Guards in his team. Since the other party gave him this opportunity, he would of course choose the most expensive and strongest ones!
Luckily, due to the recent series of major wars, his leadership was quite abundant and his wallet was fat, so it was not a problem to deal with them.
Compared with the Jade Warriors who are also at level 3, the Royal Guards are far behind in terms of defense. After all, apart from helmets and shields, they only have a pair of shorts on their bodies, so any hit will result in blood.
However, their offensiveness is much stronger. In addition to the common skills of mid-to-high-level spearmen and halberdmen such as resisting charges, countering large attacks, and countering charges, they also have two special skills.
One is Spartan spearmanship, when holding a spear, lance or other weapon, the attack power is slightly enhanced.
The other is to specialize in blocking. When using a shield, you can better block the enemy's melee and long-range arrow attacks, but it has no effect on magic, bullets, or even war machines.
If it was a one-on-one fight, Levi believed that the Royal Guards had a greater chance of winning in the end, but if dozens or hundreds of people formed a square formation to fight, the Jade Brave Halberd Soldiers would clearly have a much better advantage.
And just like those villagers, although these guards have basically the same attributes and skills, some of them have eyes and expressions that are somewhat different from those of normal people. They are obviously recruited from the God-given buildings, which further confirms Levi's previous guess.
But no matter what, with the addition of these new troops, Levi's strength has been greatly enhanced. He even thought about whether he should explore the way to the Rocky Highlands again.
Although according to the current situation, the main force of the demon army should still be fighting with the high elves for the remaining two towns, there is an abyss rift above the rocky highlands, and new demons are pouring out of it almost every moment. Once there, there will definitely be no shortage of enemies.
If you are lucky enough, you may even encounter some elites or heroes and kill them successfully, then you can make a lot of money.
After paying the money, the village chief called over a few Spartans and said that they were all willing to serve Donna because they admired her strength.
Of course Levi accepted all of it. Since he was eager to get it for free, it was impossible for him to refuse.
Then he took a casual glance and was slightly surprised to find that in addition to several gladiators of varying strengths, there was actually a special soldier of level 3 - a Spartan Royal Guard in heavy armor!
Compared with ordinary infantry guards, except for their obviously weaker agility, the Royal Guards are superior in all other aspects. And just by looking at their appearance, you can tell that their defense is far superior to all of their peers.
At the same time, he also has a shield bash skill, which can cause damage and has a chance to knock back the enemy. In the previous fights, since everyone was using spears, he had no chance to use it at all, but if facing other enemies, maybe this move can have additional effects.
After chatting for a few minutes, Levi was surprised to learn that although the guy in front of him was not an elite yet, he had a very famous title: Son of the Lion - Leonidas!
It is said that he earned this title because he killed a lion in a duel when he was a teenager.
This made Li Wei want to complain a little bit. It was you who killed him with your own hands, but you ended up giving him such a title. This is even more filial than Lu Bu...
But no matter what, his strength is still quite good, and he is also the one who is most familiar with other Spartan warriors, so Levi temporarily promoted him to the position of team leader, responsible for assisting Zhou Miyin and commanding other Spartan warriors.
If he performs really well in the future, it is not impossible to prepare an elite token or something for him.
Then Levi took the opportunity to discuss the issue of piercing oil with the village chief, who immediately patted his chest and assured that there was no problem at all.
Because the land around their village is not rich, apart from sending out mercenaries continuously, they can only make weapons, shields and piercing oil and sell them for money to buy food. Now that Levi wants to conduct long-term and stable transactions with them, they naturally want it.
After temporarily finishing these, Levi turned to look at Simon. Unlike Zhou Miyin and others, probably because he himself is already a relatively rare Son of Sigmar swordsman, and his past experiences are also very complicated, so he actually has three different advancement options this time, and judging from the names, they all seem to be relatively rare advancements.
Branch 1, Imperial Iron Swordsman, uses a two-handed greatsword as a weapon, is good at fighting infantry, and requires 4.5 silver coins;
Branch 2, Sigmar Hammer Knight, uses a warhammer as a weapon and is good at exterminating green-skinned orcs. It requires 5 silver coins.
Branch 3, the Burning Lancer, uses a spear as a weapon , is proficient in flame enchantment, and requires 5 silver coins.
After a casual glance, Levi already had the answer in his mind. Branch 1 was completely incompatible with his current team configuration, and he did not need this kind of anti-infantry infantry unit in a short period of time. Donna's half-elves were almost enough.
There are some problems with the weapons in Branch 2. He has never heard of any famous knights who use warhammers as weapons, whether in ancient or modern times, at home or abroad. Even if this is a game, he still finds it hard to agree.
If two knights were facing off, and the other one was thrusting at you with a three or four meter long spear, but you were extending a one meter long war hammer, wouldn't you feel embarrassed?
The most crucial point is that the last Scorching Spear has a great chance of being upgraded to a stronger Flame Sun Knight. You can tell something from their names alone.
However, it is still necessary to ask for the opinions of the parties involved. In this regard, Levi is still very accommodating.
Then he was very satisfied to hear the answer he wanted. Simon also thought so. He aspired to become a Flame Sun Knight. As long as he advanced in the right direction and did not die in battle , his dream seemed to be just ahead.
So Levi waved his hand and spent money to help the other party advance.
Then there was a flash of light, and a fully armed knight appeared in front of everyone. Not only was his armor obviously much thicker, but his weapon had also changed from a sword to a spear.
The only thing that disappointed Levi was that there was nothing under the other person's butt...
Wow, it turns out you only care about people and not mounts, right?
However, it is not difficult to understand. Currently, it seems that only the Holy Knights can summon their own mounts with divine magic and temporarily transfer to Paladins after reaching a certain level.
After looking at the opponent's attribute panel, Levi felt very satisfied. He was worthy of being the first one under his command to advance to Level 4 on his own, and it was also a rare profession. The attributes were really good. Even the skills that he originally lacked, the number increased all of a sudden.
This guy, who was originally thought to be a gift when recruiting the big loli, now unexpectedly has some strength.
Simon, the Burning Lancer, has 15 Strength, 9 Agility, 13 Constitution, 4 Intelligence, 6 Perception, 4 Charisma, 182 Health, and 40 Mana.
Equipment: Knight's lance, Knight's shield, military chain mail
Skill:
1. Primary long sword mastery;
2. Intermediate Shield Mastery;
3. Strong will;
4. Intermediate spear mastery;
5. Charge;
6. Anti-infantry: When fighting against infantry units, the attack power is increased by 5.
7. Scorching Spear: Consumes 20 mana points to enchant the weapon with fire, dealing an additional 5 points of fire damage when attacking, lasts for 40 seconds.
8, Elite, Strength +1, Constitution +1, Health +52.
(An elite Blazing Lancer, skilled at fighting evil enemies like the undead and trolls)
The big loli next to her also came forward to congratulate her happily. The relationship between the two of them was very special. In many previous battles, Simon had silently protected her with his shield. Although they had no blood connection, she had already regarded him as her uncle.
However, after a brief moment of joy, Levi quickly realized a problem. If Simon was not an elite, but an ordinary Scorching Spear, or even an ordinary knight, even if his class was as high as Level 4, in fact their health points were only just over 100?
Although their attack power is not low, to some extent, they themselves are really fragile. Perhaps this is one of the weaknesses of the human race, that they are not strong enough to withstand attacks.
But it is not a serious problem. Humans’ equipment is second only to elves and dwarves, and all kinds of magic and divine arts are also extremely developed, which is enough to make up for their weaknesses.
After finishing these things , Levi decided to take his subordinates away from here first, because he felt that some of the things he wanted to ask Donna next might not be convenient for the Spartans to know.
However, before leaving, he couldn't resist his curiosity and asked the other party why they didn't build any defensive facilities.
The village chief immediately said proudly: "Because the chest of a Spartan man is the wall of Sparta, and the tip of a Spartan man's spear is the border of Sparta's land!"
All the Spartans around who heard these words subconsciously straightened their chests, obviously feeling extremely proud of it.
Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. So that's how it is. I think those warlike demons and greenskins will definitely feel particularly surprised when they hear this sentence.
Even the high elves who had a large number of regular troops had their towns humiliatingly captured by the invasion of the demon army. For a mere small village to dare to make such a boast can only be said to be courageous.
However, he did not show any impoliteness on the surface. He just laughed and praised: "Very good, I am very happy to spend a pleasant day with so many real men."
Although he intended to praise, this was indeed what he thought in his heart. After all, in just half a day, he reaped rich rewards that other God-chosen heroes might not be able to get in half a month.
Without waiting for the other party to reply, he continued, "I am Levi Goethe, a chosen hero from the High Elves, one of the owners of Silent Manor, and a friend of the Spartans."
"If you have any needs in the future, please let me know immediately and I will do my best!"
He had originally intended to recruit the other party, and just now Donna unexpectedly seemed to have been blessed by the gods, so in order to return the favor, he should also show a little sincerity.
According to the intelligence he had collected in recent days, many God-given buildings have a core. After meeting the conditions and paying a certain price, the God-given buildings can also be moved to other places...
All the Spartans who heard these words stopped what they were doing and looked at him with eager eyes, because they felt respected, respect from the always arrogant high elves!
The village chief immediately slapped his chest vigorously and said: "Although you are a distinguished wizard, you are also a real man and a friend recognized by the Spartans."
"Similarly, if a friend is in trouble, we will do our best. Spartans never ask how many enemies there are, but where they are!"
