Lord Harland

In this world, the things that can greatly improve your magic qualifications are extremely precious treasures, such as the fruits of the World Tree, the sap of the Tree of Life, and the magic liquid found in the super-large magic crystal mine.

Only three super-large magic crystal mines have been found so far, and more than a dozen magic crystal mines can be mined every year. These magic liquids basically fall into the hands of the nobles of the Holy Radiant Empire, the Orc Royal Court, and the Markholm Magic Kingdom.

Even the Grant royal family had no chance to intervene.

The World Tree is located deep in the core of the earth and has long been blocked by the Seven Gods. All the Seven Gods are eyeing the World Tree. Many battles have broken out between the divine kingdoms. How could the fruits of the World Tree fall into the hands of ordinary people?

Even the royal family of the Holy Radiance Empire, which has a close relationship with the God of Radiance, would find it difficult to obtain treasures like the World Tree Fruit.

The Tree of Life is a sacred object of the elves and is not allowed to be touched by outsiders unless you can eliminate an elven tribe that has mastered the Tree of Life. Even if you trade a little water of life, you have to pay a high price, let alone the sap of the tree of life?

Relatively speaking, although magic liquid is rare, it can continue to be produced every year. However, the total number of people who can use these treasures to improve their qualifications does not exceed twenty.

If you don't have enough reincarnation skills, you won't be able to get a treasure of this level.

In addition to the top-notch treasures of heaven and earth, there is another way to greatly improve your qualifications, which is to be illuminated by the holy light and receive the blessing of the gods.

The Seven Gods have been sleeping for many years and now do not easily answer the prayers of believers.

In the past three thousand years, there have been very few people favored by the gods. In the past few hundred years, perhaps only Richard has been favored by the goddess of the dawn.

When Richard was illuminated by the Holy Light of Morning, his mental power increased by six points, and the effect was better than the legendary Styx potion.

Because the Styx potion increases magic power, some magicians have outstanding talents, and the same mental power can be converted into higher magic power. For example, Sophia increased her magic power by 60 points, but in fact her mental power only increased by five points.

In addition to the above methods, the next best thing is various precious potions and some special magic plants.

The legendary level Styx potion is already a very precious treasure. In Markholm Magic Kingdom, it is already considered the foundation of a large magic organization, and will only be used by the most direct and talented mages.

The Speaker of the Magic Council, Albert Sacco, a top powerhouse in the plane, may not be able to provide all his descendants with potions of this level. After all, the Sacco family has more than a hundred clansmen, too many descendants, and only precious resources. It can be reserved for the most talented people.

It is also difficult for the Duke of the Holy Radiance Empire to obtain potions of this level.

After all, it is rare to find legendary level undead creatures in the Dawn Plane.

The area where Grant Kingdom is located is considered a key area in the battle between ancient wizards and the undead. In the past thirty years, only two armies of the undead have been discovered.

In the last battle to block the plane passage of the Undead Realm, three legendary level undead were killed, but only two legendary soul crystals were captured, all of which fell into the hands of the Dawn Church. After all, in that battle, the Dawn Church The priest played his biggest role, and even the legendary second-level priest Mavela was exhausted.

As for ordinary soul crystals, because they did not control the battlefield, they did not pick up many, and most of them fell into the hands of the Grant royal family.

Although Richard participated in the battle back then, he was still a small person after all, and the important trophies were not in his hands at all.

In addition to refining potions, soul crystals can also serve as special alchemy materials to release soul-type spells. But doing so is tantamount to a waste of natural resources.

In addition, the soul crystal can also be used to create artificial intelligence. If the soul crystal is used on a powerful golem, a legendary level helper can be artificially created. If used on a mage tower, a smart tower spirit can also be created to serve as a helper in magic research.

Mage towers built by ancient legendary wizards are often protected by legendary golems and have tower spirit helpers.

In addition, this special crystal can be used for magic research. It is also very useful for understanding the origin of the world.

In the ancient wizarding era, dark wizards had the means to extract soul power and refine soul crystals. The dark wizard acted recklessly and caused very heavy killings to intelligent creatures.

Without the protection of wizarding organizations, the wilderness is essentially unpopulated.

The legendary soul crystal has been captured in this battle, and the refining of the Styx potion is not too difficult. If the Styx potion is successfully refined after the war, magicians with outstanding talents such as Sophia and Wendy will be able to great help.

Using one such potion can increase mental power by five or six points. Before the ninth level, mental power exceeded forty points, which was the basis for a magician to break through the legend.

It's just that other magicians don't have attribute panels, so they can't figure out their own mental strength. They can only roughly estimate it based on their magic power.

An ordinary magician with low talent and no adventures, after advancing to the ninth ring, his mental power will be around 33 points.

Even if it is blessed by the gods, or by chance, it is a treasure that improves the qualifications, it is difficult to increase the mental power to more than 40 points, and there is basically no chance of breaking through the legend. Unless this magician is a genius who studies magic, creates a new magic path, invents a new spell template, and is favored by the will of the world, his mental power can only increase by a few points.

However, 99% of the magicians in this world have very little understanding of the nature of magic. They are all tool mages who have been promoted step by step. There are very few who can engage in magic research and achieve certain results.

Even a lucky man like Richard, who had experience in his previous life, could only improve his mental power by 11 points through magic research.

However, Richard's contribution to magic research is almost unprecedented, and it will be difficult for others to come later. If all the magic knowledge of the Harland Mage Association is made public, Richard's reputation will immediately surpass that of Albert Sacco. This great magician who also pioneered new fields only had nine points of mental power improved through magic research.

Sophia, Wendy and others also made some outstanding contributions to magic research with the help of Richard's light, but they only increased their mental power by three or four points.

The magic knowledge learned by most magicians is not systematic and very messy. Not only do they have no talent, it is also difficult for them to have the conditions to study magic. For the vast majority of mages, relying on this path to improve spiritual power and advance to legend has basically been cut off.

A mage with medium talent will have a mental power between thirty-four and thirty-six points after advancing to the ninth level. He also needs to use treasures that enhance his mental power to have a chance to hit the legendary bottleneck.

Only magicians with superior talents often have a mental power of more than 37 points after advancing to the ninth level. By using some potions that increase mental power, there is a chance to break through the legend.

Even a simple tool mage can break through to the legendary realm as long as he is talented.

In this battle tonight, more than nearly five thousand undead creatures were killed, and many different levels of soul crystals were actually dropped. However, some were destroyed by star bombs, and the other was left on the battlefield.

Because the battle was still going on and the time was tight, Richard and others had no time to pick it up, so they could only hope to clean up the battlefield.

After collecting the legendary soul crystal, Richard saw that the gray mist was still coming up. He knew clearly in his heart: "The legendary bone dragon is not the most powerful enemy in the gray mist. There is a pair of invisible hands in the secret. This enemy hidden in the secret, He is the mastermind behind controlling the gray fog."

Richard turned his head and looked at the lake in the dark night, and found that Levine and others had retreated one kilometer away.

Unknowingly, Richard and the others had been delayed for more than ten minutes.

Finding that the blocking mission had been completed, Richard immediately called on everyone to evacuate along the lake.

After killing the legendary bone dragon, the forward arrows of the undead army were blunted. With Sutton and Sylph as the core, they could easily kill a large number of undead creatures that caught up with them and shoulder the task of blocking.

Stopping like this, everyone walked on the ice for about an hour, walked seven or eight kilometers of ice roads, and finally reached the eastern part of the Salt Lake.

At this time, long flame dragons could be seen in the east. It turned out that reinforcements were holding torches and rushed to the eastern part of the Salt Lake area.

With these five thousand reinforcements, Richard finally let go of his worries.

The most troublesome thing about the power of the undead in the gray mist is the huge number of them.

Without the numerical advantage, even if they faced legendary undead creatures, Richard and others would still be sure to defeat their opponents. However, facing a steady stream of tens of thousands of undead creatures, the small army could not defeat its opponents and had no choice but to withdraw.

After the two armies joined together, Richard immediately ordered the trees to be cut down and bonfires to be lit.

The reinforcements who came from Lot and Sam Castle had already walked for four hours in the middle of the night. They were already exhausted and very uncomfortable with the cold. The undead did not need to eat or drink, and were not afraid of the cold. This was far inferior to the human army. Undead creatures.

Hundreds of bonfires were quickly lit, and just as the soldiers rested for a while, warming themselves by the fire and drinking water, the army of the undead had already rushed over from the east coast of the Salt Lake.

Fighting against this tireless monster is very uncomfortable for an army.

With a glance from the corner of his eyes, Richard noticed that some soldiers looked frightened. He immediately stood up and shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, everyone, these skeletons are very weak in combat and cannot penetrate our shields and armors at all.

Use your courage and we will defeat these nasty undead creatures. As your lord, I am willing to make an oath. As long as you do not retreat, I will never take a step back.

Besides, we have no way to retreat. Behind us are the two castles of Lot and Sam, as well as our wives, children, parents, and friends in the castle. To protect our loved ones, there is no way to take a step back now. The only choice is to defeat the undead and defeat your opponent! "

After a brief mobilization, with the 7th Brigade as the core, more than 5,000 soldiers formed a circular formation and suddenly collided with the undead army.

The archers inside the circle took the lead in launching an attack. The sharpshooters fired exploding arrows one after another, and the ordinary archers also fired rockets. In an instant, thousands of rockets shot into the gray mist.

Exploding arrows are very effective against undead creatures. Each arrow can basically kill a powerful opponent. However, ordinary rockets are somewhat ineffective against undead creatures.

Seeing this scene, Richard immediately sent an order for the archers to stop shooting arrows and attack the undead creatures with guns and shields.

The soldiers in the Harland Territory are all comprehensive arms. Every soldier must be equipped with a strong bow and a powerful crossbow. Soldiers who are not strong enough to draw a strong bow cannot join the main army at all. They can only arrest thieves and maintain the city defense force and security force. Public security, responsible for second-line defense tasks.

A soldier with great strength and good shooting skills is born to be an all-round attacker. Even if he cannot draw a bow and shoot an arrow, his strength in close combat still has advantages, and he is a good hand.

Of course, the most powerful soldiers under Harland's command were not archers, but grenadiers. The most important thing in selecting grenadiers is strength, and they tend to be tall, muscular players with round waists.

The vast majority of grenadiers are close to two meters tall and have a strength of about six points, which is almost comparable to the strength of a first-level professional.

Harland leads nearly 50,000 soldiers, and only about 3,000 grenadiers can be selected. Such naturally strong soldiers are rarer than professionals in the army.

After the archers stopped shooting arrows and saw the undead creatures entering the shooting range, the fat grenadiers immediately took action.

The grenadiers quickly threw alchemy bombs, and in an instant, puffs of gunpowder smoke appeared in the undead army, dispersing the gray fog.

Alchemy bombs have a very good effect on the undead. Throwing hundreds of alchemy bombs in one round will clear out at least a thousand undead creatures in an instant.

Seeing that the damage effect was good, the grenadiers entered the battle even more crazily.

For this battle, the defenders of the Lothar Basin almost emptied the alchemy bomb storehouse, and the reserve of alchemy bombs was very sufficient.

After more than ten years of accumulation, Harland's reserve of alchemical bombs has increased to 60,000, which is enough to fight several fierce battles.

After the grenadiers threw five consecutive rounds, two thousand alchemical bombs were consumed, and the undead army had been reduced by about four thousand.

However, the number of undead creatures seemed to be endless, surrounding the circular formation.

In an instant, the sound of slashing and killing was deafening. The soldiers struggled to brandish their spears and swords, fighting countless skeletons and zombies.

In just half an hour, with the circular formation as the center, the outside was already filled with bones five feet thick.

In the war that started tonight, Richard and Harland led the soldiers and have eliminated more than 20,000 undead creatures.

Although there are many undead creatures, they cannot afford such heavy losses.

After continuous fighting until now, the scale of the gray mist has finally stopped expanding. Now every time an undead is killed, the gray mist will weaken.

Seeing that the grenadiers were about to throw alchemical bombs again, they suddenly heard the sound of "Ta! Ta! Ta!", and hundreds of undead knights riding bone horses rushed out of the gray mist.

The strong power of death clings to the bone spear and lingers around the undead knight for a long time. I saw the undead knight reaching out and touching the bone spear, and the bone spear was suddenly ignited with the fire of the dead.

The undead knight picked up the bone spear and launched a fierce attack from the front of the circular formation. These undead knights have a professional level of about four or five.

More than a hundred undead knights launched a surprise attack, and their lethality and destructive power were already very impressive.
