Volume 5: King of the Mountain Chapter 272: Dragon Riders/Dragon-Armored Heavy Cavalry
In the past, Murphy would always compare and calculate repeatedly when buying things, fearing that he would overpay. Sometimes, in order to save money, he would even directly choose a low-end version, or simply make do with a second-level product. But this time, his direct goal was to maximize his own strength.
Money and other things, just throw them away.
First is the upgrade materials for Dragon Knight.
Dragon bones, 800 points each, 80 first.
He had plenty of dragon scales. He had killed so many dragons before and picked up a lot of them in his bag. Dragon scales did not require any skills to collect. As long as a dragon died, they would be dropped and could be picked up directly, so he didn't have to spend extra money.
Dragon blood, 600 points per bottle, I bought 100 bottles directly. Although the Dragon Blood Giant Warrior is at the bottom among the three extraordinary advancements, it is stuck at the perfect level of 49, which means that this type of soldier is top-notch among the level 4 soldiers, and the cost-effectiveness is absolutely superb.
Moreover, the price of dragon blood is much cheaper. In the future, when there are more knights in the Knights Templar, it is very suitable to produce a large number of troops.
Dragon eggs are a bit difficult to get. Murphy searched the auction, but didn't find a single dragon egg. However, he saw several advertisements for long-term collection of dragon eggs. It seems that many people are eyeing this thing.
Fortunately, he has twelve dragon eggs, so he can still train a batch.
In fact, materials such as dragon bones and dragon blood can be collected directly from the dragon's corpse using the gathering skill. Of course, one must be at the master level or above to do this, but Murphy did not learn the gathering skill, mainly to avoid having his expertise occupied by gathering behavior. As a result, he wasted a lot of opportunities to harvest materials, and now he can only buy them with money.
Now that the upgrade materials for the troops have been obtained, the next step is to purchase skill books.
Mo Fei acquired the three magical skills of the warrior, Lion Slash, Whirlwind Slash, and Fearless Slash, and he spent more than 500,000 on the three books in total.
He couldn't afford to buy it at first, but this time he didn't save any money at all. As the saying goes, more skills are better. The more combat skills he has, the more contingency plans he will have during the battle. The more the better.
Then he searched for higher-level legendary combat skills. These things were quite rare, but he didn't expect to actually find one.
【Titan's Grip (Legendary Skill)
Skill Effect: Allows you to fight with a two-handed weapon in one hand, but the damage caused by the weapon will be reduced by 20%.
Learning conditions: 100 points of strength attribute.
Skill introduction: A legendary combat skill used by powerful warriors in ancient times. It is said that humans in ancient times were blessed by Titans, and their extraordinary strength allowed them to kill bears and tigers with their bare hands, so they can fight with two two-handed weapons at the same time. 】
The price was a bit high, costing eight hundred thousand, and it couldn't be learned in a short period of time, but Murphy still gritted his teeth and bought it.
This kind of legendary fighting skill is a rare commodity and is rarely seen in the entire game. It is even rarer to be put up for auction. Don't miss it.
You can use it after upgrading it to level 10 later. With the Dragon Slaying Sword in one hand and the Storm Controller in the other, you can kill gods and Buddhas.
Then Murphy bought him a set of thorium ingots and two sets of mithril ingots, found a master dwarf blacksmith player, and with the pile of dragon scales in his bag, he made himself a set of dragon scale plate armor.
The Dragon Scale Plate Armor Set not only has higher defense, but also provides additional resistance depending on the inlaid dragon scales.
Murphy mainly chose red dragon scales and blue dragon scales. A set of equipment added 80 points of fire resistance and 70 points of ice resistance. Fire attacks and ice attacks are the most common elemental damage.
Coupled with Murphy's own 100 points of lightning resistance, 50 points of shadow resistance, the 100 points of fire resistance of the Dragon Slayer Amulet, and the 50 points of fire resistance of the Lava Body, his elemental resistance is already quite amazing, almost reaching the level of resistance to all elements.
Especially since his fire resistance is as high as 230 points, ordinary fire spells have almost no damage to him.
It will be much easier to play magic profession in the future.
After all the shopping, Murphy spent more than two million points. Looking at the balance in his bank account, Murphy thought that being a spendthrift was really a waste of money, but the effect was indeed immediate.
After putting on the newly crafted dragon scale suit and learning all three warrior skills, Murphy returned to the palace in high spirits.
At this time, Roland had already gathered the knights and was waiting for Murphy in the training ground. After Murphy arrived, he immediately began to prepare to upgrade the extraordinary soldiers.
These 22 Dragon Thunder Knights are a special type of troops, an optimized version of the Dragon Death Knights, and they must be upgraded to the best type of troops.
The chosen ones are the Dragon Riders and Sky Patrollers.
Murphy took out twelve black dragon eggs and started to transform the dragon eggs directly. In fact, the black dragon eggs can also be used directly to upgrade the Dragon Patrol. The main difference between the two is the mounts, but the dragon riders mainly rely on the dragon's breath to fight, so naturally the stronger the better. The black dragon is actually not bad, but since he is the Storm Dragon King, the extraordinary soldiers naturally have to have their own characteristics.
After the twelve dragon eggs were transformed, Murphy began to train dragon riders.
If it were in reality, training a Dragon Rider would be quite troublesome. First, you need to hatch dragon eggs, then let the knight establish a relationship with the dragon chick, slowly nurture it, cultivate feelings, and train the knight in fighting skills in the hole. Finally, it can become a real dragon rider.
But in the game, it is naturally not that troublesome. Dragon Egg + Dragon Knight + 600 gold coins, and then click to advance.
With a flash of golden light, a Dragon Knight and a dragon egg disappeared from the spot, and were replaced by a mighty dragon knight riding on the back of a storm dragon.
Murphy looked at the appearance of the dragon knight in front of him. The knight's equipment did not change much. It was still the same knight suit, but outside the armor there was a dragon-patterned robe of the Dragon Knight. The lance became longer, and the tip of the lance shone with lightning. There were dragon-wing earmuffs on both sides of the helmet, which looked very cool.
Murphy nodded with satisfaction. They were indeed extraordinary soldiers. They looked handsome.
He checked the attributes of the troops.
Dragon Rider (Extraordinary Soldier)——Level 65, HP 1800.
Soldier characteristics: flying, lightning dragon breath, super vision, causing fear, thunderstorm weapon (special skill), lightning strike (special skill)...
This health point is equivalent to the health points of the knight and the dragon added together.
It also has two more thunder-attribute skills than ordinary dragon riders.
Not bad, not bad. It is worthy of being a super soldier. The attribute is quite powerful. We can see how great the deterrent force such a team of dragon knights can cause on the battlefield when two armies fight.
Murphy clicked ten times in one breath and upgraded ten more Dragon Riders.
A row of Dragon Riders soared over the city of Alterac, looking very cool.
Murphy looked at the last remaining dragon egg, thought about it, and decided to use it himself.
Just choose hatching, and with a click, a storm dragon hatches.
This thing is a small pet. It doesn't have much combat power. It just looks cute and can spit out a lightning ball, which only does a few points of damage.
It's better than nothing.
But it's still pretty good as a pendant.
As if sensing the aura of the Dragon King on Murphy's body, the little guy lay in Murphy's hand and rubbed against it.
Murphy put the little fellow on his shoulder, and the dragonette changed back to flying automatically while he walked. However, he thought in his heart that he still had one talent point in his Storm Dragon King form that was not being used. If he could click on the talent of 'Rank Promotion' and directly upgrade the dragonette into a baby dragon, he could get a Storm Dragonette mount for free. However, since he could directly transform into a dragon, this mount would not be of much significance.
Better keep it for now.
Then he took out dragon bones and dragon scales and chose to upgrade to dragon-armored heavy cavalry.
He will go to the battlefield in the war in two days, and at that time he must be accompanied by a group of elite generals and guards to be safe. Although the Dragon Riders are good, they cannot protect him all the time.
A white light flashed, and a dragon-clad heavy cavalryman appeared before his eyes.
They wear armor made of dragon scales and dragon bones, and their helmets are full-coverage. Even their war horses are covered in armor. Their weapons are dragon-spine spears and dragon-bone swords. Their entire bodies are equipped with equipment that features characteristics of giant dragons, hence the name "Dragon-Armored" heavy cavalry.
Just looking at the shape, it is quite majestic and domineering.
The properties are also quite powerful.
Dragon-Armed Heavy Cavalry (Extraordinary Soldier)——Level 56, HP 1400.
Soldier characteristics: resistance to magic, heavy armor, charge, trample attack, thunderstorm weapon (special skill), lightning strike (special skill)...
With ten mighty and majestic knights following me, I feel very safe.
Of course, no matter how powerful they are, these extraordinary soldiers are really expensive. The upgrade materials plus the upgrade fees cost tens of thousands of dollars each.
If you are not rich, you really can’t afford it.
Now only Roland is a little embarrassed. He is an elite template and cannot upgrade to extraordinary soldiers, so he can only ride his Alterac horse and wear the standard equipment of the Knights of the North Wind.
Fortunately, elite units can directly replace their equipment. Murphy gave him his own Blood Rage Knight suit, which at least gave him 200 more health points.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Speaking of which, Roland, you should be advancing to the hero template soon, right?"
Roland obviously didn't understand what a hero template was, but the system would automatically convert the player's words into something the NPC could understand.
Roland thought for a moment and nodded. I do feel that my strength has improved recently, and there may be a possibility of a breakthrough.
It seems that after this battle, Roland will be able to advance to a hero.
Murphy nodded and was about to say a few words of encouragement when there was a sudden noise outside.
Murphy glanced outside the gate and saw several princes running out.
Murphy stopped Dara Bengba who was passing by the door and asked, "What happened?"
"It's the orcs. They sent an envoy here, probably to issue a declaration of war - damn! What's wrong with you?"
Dara Bangba's eyes widened as he looked at the line of dragon-riding patrollers and dragon-clad heavy cavalry behind Murphy.
Even though there are only twenty-one people in total, this look is so damn domineering.
In comparison, the Knights of the North Wind are simply a civilian type of soldier, not to mention those second and third level soldiers.
Murphy had no intention of hiding it. Sooner or later, the troops would be sent out to fight, so there was no way to keep a low profile. Besides, a proper display of strength could also win over more allies. "Haha, it's nothing. I just upgraded the type of soldiers for my private soldiers. After all, we have to go to war."
"Damn, your invisible pretense is too deliberate. Is this a super soldier? You can even ride a dragon. I heard that Stormwind City has developed a super soldier called 'Black Dragon Air Raid Knight'. I didn't expect you to do it quietly. That's amazing. By the way, what kind of dragon is this? It looks quite unique. What are its attributes?"
"Storm dragon that spits lightning."
"Awesome! The number of players who have created extraordinary soldiers in the entire game can probably be counted on one hand. Tsk tsk tsk, can you please tell me how you created them?"
"Haha, well..."
"Oh, I understand, I understand, I won't ask."
When Murphy and Darabonga walked out of the palace, the orc envoy had already entered the city gate of Alterac.
There were five people in total, one messenger and four guards. They were surrounded by countless adventurers with murderous looks on their faces. If it weren't for a group of kingdom guards standing by, these orcs would have been torn into pieces in an instant.
These orcs were bachelors and not afraid at all. They rode their wolves and strode towards the palace.
This was the scene that Murphy and Dara Bangba saw when they arrived.
He patted one of his brothers beside him and said, "What's going on? Why are you protecting these orcs?"
The elder brother looked at him and explained, "Old man Aiden said that as a royal family, we must observe etiquette, so we must receive the orc envoy and let the soldiers protect him."
Damn, this old guy is actually being particular. If it were someone else, Murphy might believe that he really does value etiquette, but when it comes to this old guy Aiden, Murphy's first thought is that this guy is leaving himself a way out.
Dara Bangba said: "Why don't we kill these orcs, in case that old man Aiden wants to surrender?"
What these princes fear most now is that their cheap father will surrender to the orcs. Once this order is issued, these princes will be in a passive position.
"Don't worry. Historically, Aiden surrendered only when Orgrim's army was approaching. Now we are facing only tens of thousands of orcs from the Frostwolf Clan. We are surrounded by Alliance countries. No matter how cowardly Aiden is, he shouldn't be so stupid.
Let's see what these orcs are here for."
The gate of the royal palace fortress slowly opened, and the orc envoy got off the wolf and walked into the conference hall. Both sides of the conference hall were filled with nobles and princes.
King Aiden sat on the throne, looking at the orcs below the steps with disgust and nervousness.
These green-skinned monsters are indeed as scary and savage as the rumors say, with their huge fangs, strong muscles, and sturdy physiques. These monsters are much scarier than trolls.
Aiden couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when he thought that there were tens of thousands of such savage monsters hiding in the valley of Alterac.
The orc looked at the human king in front of him without fear, paying no attention to the guards' scolding and orders to salute.
Aiden waved his hand, telling the guards not to worry.
Aiden (King of Alterac): "Orcs, tell me what brings you to my castle."
Barrett Wildfang (Frostwolf Envoy): "I am here on the orders of my chieftain to issue an ultimatum to the human king here. Alterac is a good place. We Frostwolf orcs want to settle here. If you give us Alterac Valley, we will not fight you. Otherwise, let's go to war."
