As for strength and health, it is normal for the fourth-level Immortal Lancer to be slightly inferior.
After all, the Andalusian War Horse is nearly one meter shorter than the Shire Horse, and the Immortal Knight is also shorter than the Heretic Powerful Knight.
But this in no way prevents the Immortal Lancers from piercing their chests with their heavy lances!
After all, strictly speaking, the heretic giant knights are not pure lancers, but a type of heavy cavalry. In addition to a two-meter quasi-lance, it is a two-handed sword, and it has an infantry combat mode, which can
Dismount to fight, and the combat power is still not low even when dismounted.
The Immortal Lancers are pure lancers. Their main attack method is lance charge, and their secondary weapons are shields and swords. Although they wear heavy armor, their combat effectiveness will be sharply reduced after they are separated from their mounts.
It is suitable for strangling large-scale infantry enemies in plain areas. It is easily restricted by terrain and can be restrained by various melee spearmen and spear shield soldiers against cavalry.
Generally speaking, the two types of cavalry have their own characteristics. The Heretic Powerful Knight is a jack-of-all-trades heavy cavalry, while the Immortal Lancer has a much clearer positioning, with obvious advantages and obvious disadvantages.
Just like a sword, how the commander uses it is very important. If it is used well, the edge will be revealed. If it is not used well, the blade will be covered with dust and will not be used effectively.
But for Zong Shen, the emergence of the fourth-level immortal spear cavalry can just make up for the shortcomings of the territory's combat power to a certain extent.
That is, when dealing with large-scale enemies, it is impossible to quickly divide and attack enemy clusters.
This was the point that Zong Shen felt the most when dealing with cave monsters. The wolf cavalry was a light cavalry and was equipped with a saber. It was not as devastating as the lance cavalry.
When dealing with cluster infantry, the biggest trouble is actually being unable to separate the enemy and destroy the enemy's cluster advantage.
During the crypt challenge, Zong Shen relied on his demonic deterrence to destroy the enemy swarms. If there had been a group of heavy-armed lancers looking around at that time, the efficiency of killing the crypt monsters would have been increased by several percent.
Now in Zong Shen's team, there are light cavalry, spear and shield infantry, mages and archers of various types, and heavy lancers. What's missing is air cavalry, rangers, and some auxiliary units.
The general framework has gradually taken shape. What Zong Shen needs to do next is to gradually fill the framework to fullness, quantity, and scale.
Transform from an individual to a squad, then from a squad to a squadron or even to a legion.
These immortal lancers consciously rode their horses to the rear of the queue, lining up behind the wolf cavalry.
Now Zong Shen only has one [Second-Level Wolf Cavalry Recruitment Scroll] left. He got this from the points lottery. He just happened to recruit it and let Colby lead him to add it to the Wolf Cavalry sequence.
Here, there are exactly thirty-six wolf cavalry, so three full squads can be formed.
After all the recruitment was completed, there were now a total of 65 farmers and 129 warriors in Zong Shen's territory, and the rest of the personnel remained unchanged.
Just when Zong Shen was about to re-plan his territorial control, Howie, who was standing next to the dwarf uncle, suddenly walked out of the queue quickly and knelt down on one knee in front of Zong Shen.
"Sir, after getting along with you these days, I feel that you are a powerful and wise lord."
"Living in your territory gives me the urge to contribute and create. Here I see hope for the future and a great career."
"This feeling is something I've never had before."
"I beg you to remove me from my status as a slave and allow me to serve you."
"I also want to work with you and everyone to create this miracle!"
Haoyi knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and looked at Zong Shen's toes. This was a gesture of surrender.
[The heroic talent Howie expresses his surrender to you]
【Accept】【Reject】
A line of systematic subtitles appeared in front of Zong Shen, asking him to make a choice.
The emergence of this choice means that Haoyi truly intends to surrender to him, completely letting go of his guard, and wants to join Zong Shen's command.
Facing Howie's request for surrender, there was nothing to worry about and he directly chose [Accept].
With the territory system and loyalty as a guarantee, Zong Shen was not afraid that Howie would have any objections.
"Get up, I can already feel your sincerity.
"I agree to your request. From today on, you will get rid of your status as a slave and become an official citizen of the territory. This will be your future home."
"I know you are an excellent talent, so I will have some tasks for you."
Zong Shen chose to accept it and responded at the same time.
After hearing this, Haoyi raised his head and looked up at Zong Shen, with an expression of joy on his face.
The moment Zong Shen accepted him, a lot of information poured into his head, letting him know many secrets that he had never been exposed to before.
It also made the fire of hope in his heart burn brightly.
After becoming a heroic talent under the lord, you will naturally know some things about the lord, which is definitely a novel thing for Howie.
What's more, his heart, which had become increasingly dusty after more than ten years of boring work in the Goti Castle, began to glow with new vitality.
"Thank you sir for giving me this opportunity."
"Howie will never betray your trust!"
"From now on, this is my home and the place I will defend with my life!"
Howie said impassionedly, after all, he is a veteran with relatively profound knowledge and experience. His words are pleasant to listen to, no matter how sincere he is, after falling into the trap of the lord, the initiative lies with Zong Shen.
In hand.
"Very good, you should go back to the queue. There is a vacant seat next to Dutra."
Zong Shen pointed at the kobold chief Dutra, who was standing next to Mariel with his head held high, and motioned to Howie to stand beside him.
Dutra Station is located relatively close to the edge. There are 258 kobolds lined up in the open space beside it. It is estimated that this number will increase soon, because when the kobold tribe came as a whole, they also brought a large number of kobolds with them.
egg.
Zong Shen's intention of letting Howie stand next to Dutra is self-evident. First of all, it is to avoid suspicion. In fact, it also means that although Zong Shen accepts Howie, he will not immediately let him enter the core of the territory.
layer.
Howie was a very smart guy. He knew what he was doing. He obediently bowed to Zong Shen and left. He walked to Dutra and bowed slightly to say hello to the kobold chief Dutra.
The etiquette was basically impeccable. Howie's performance was noticed by another slave, young Kuite. Among the slaves bought by Zong Shen, he was the only one who was still a slave and wore it every day.
Working in chains with the kobolds.
If you are a little lazy or show dissatisfaction and negative emotions, you will be intimidated by the kobolds. Although the kobolds are not tall, once they are covered in scales and grin, they will be intimidated by ordinary people like Quit.
In other words, it still has a great deterrent effect.
Now, he is the one with the least presence in the territory.
Seeing the situation of Howie and Alana at this time made him want to move, his legs trembled unconsciously, and he wanted to move forward.
At this time, the kobold prophet next to him noticed his strange movement and felt that he had affected the beauty of the kobold queue, so he directly hit his shin hard with the staff in his hand.
"Stand...stand still!"
"No...don't move!"
The kobold prophet warned Quit in a low voice.
Every kobold tried his best to stand upright and neatly, never to be embarrassed in front of the lord, because during these days, Zong Shen did fulfill his promise, treating the kobolds equally, with the same food rations and the same houses.
Take a break.
Of course, due to many reasons such as living habits, racial differences, language barriers, etc., it is still difficult for kobolds to pee in the same pot as other territorial citizens in the territory.
Anyway, everyone usually performs their duties. They work when they should work and fight when they should fight. In fact, everyone is the same and contribute to the development of the territory. Therefore, no kobold will feel that he has been reduced to
Slaves, on the contrary, in Zong Shen's territory, they had a sense of shelter and security.
Therefore, during this period of time, basically all the kobolds' loyalty to Zong Shen increased to more than 85 points, and Zong Shen also fulfilled his original promise with actions in these days.
Poor Kuit was taught such a lesson by the kobold prophet, and the courage he had finally aroused in his heart to ask Zong Shen was extinguished, and he could only continue to stand in the queue of kobolds timidly.
At this time, Zong Shen had no time to pay attention to Kuite. He was busy checking Howie's attributes.
In addition, before selecting troops to go to Odo Village, Zong Shen can also re-plan the heroic rule in the territory. Counting Howie, there are now a total of four heroes in the territory, among which the kobold chief Dutra is special.
, it is more suitable for controlling kobolds than humans.
He casually looked at Howie, who was standing upright, and his attributes appeared in front of his eyes.
[Hero: Howie (Blue)]
[Qualification: Excellent]
【Age:35】
[Race: Human]
[Level: lv14]
[Experience value: 1371/7275]
[HP: 225]
【Number of people under control: 0/91】
【Power:12】
[Agility: 16]
[Intelligence: 27]
【Charm:21】
[Remaining assignable attribute points: 0]
[Remaining allocable skill points: 0]
[Remaining assignable weapon proficiency: 0]
[Detailed attributes: (Click to expand)]
[Weapon Proficiency: (Click to expand)]
[Hero Skills: (Click to expand)]
[Lord level passive skills: (Click to expand)]
[Loyalty: 80]
This attribute panel is much higher than that of Mariel when she first joined the territory.
Especially in terms of the two attributes of intelligence and charm, he is also a heroic talent with a bias towards intelligence and charm.
Suitable for internal affairs and logistics work, not suitable for being a combat hero.
But it just meets the current needs of Zong Shen's territory.
A huge territory must be composed of many heroic talents.
Among them, the greatest demand is for logistics talents. They are like nodes that form a huge control network for the entire territory.
Just like the village chiefs, town chiefs, and county chiefs on the earth, they go up step by step, using points to form lines, using lines to form surfaces, and using surfaces to form a complete three-dimensional territorial structure matrix.
Even in the future, big heroes can control little heroes. As for the source of hero-level talents, Zong Shen is not worried, let alone the recruited ancient heroes.
The aboriginal forces alone already have a complete system, and there are definitely no shortage of heroic talents among them. In addition, heroic talents are not fixed, and new heroic talents will continue to appear with knowledge and experience.
Of course, I must mention here that although there will never be a shortage of heroic talents in this world, finding heroes with good talents still requires some hard work and luck.
Although there is still a big gap in ability between heroes with high talents and heroes with low talents, hero-level talents with low talents are still heroes after all. As the lords develop, their contact with the indigenous forces will become closer and closer.
Basically, most lords will gradually have their own heroic talents.
The territory will not be unable to develop due to the limitation of the command value, because the command structure is not only determined by the lord himself. With such a hero command system, in theory, as long as you have enough hero-level talents, you can control a
There is no problem in the kingdom.
In an upward-level pyramid matrix structure, it is enough for the lord to be the person at the top of the tower.
Zong Shen thought for a while and opened Howie's [Hero Skills]. It usually contains the hero's talents and abilities, hoping to bring him some surprises.
[Passive skill: Trade algorithm (can gain 5% price advantage in trade)
Cold personality (cold personality, only longing for honor and sense of achievement, territory material consumption reduced by 10%)】
It can be seen from [Hero Skills] that Howie's talents lie in trade, command, and material management.
It can reduce the territory's material consumption and gain an additional 5% price advantage in foreign trade.
Don't underestimate this 5%. Once the territory forms a caravan or establishes a trade zone in the future, forming a large and stable trade system, the benefits brought by this 5% price advantage will be huge.
After having a more specific understanding of Howie's position, Zong Shen opened the [Lord Level Passive Skills], Strength System, Agility System, and Intelligence System. These three systems were all blank, except for the Charm System [Control].
and [Trade] are both level 7.
After Zong Shen checked Haoyi's attributes, he closed his attribute list with a thought.
As the fourth heroic talent in the territory, Howie can be responsible for managing the entry and exit of materials in the territory, including daily tasks such as listing sales in the [market].
Moreover, Howie's level has reached lv14, so he can work on the same job. It won't be too late to take him to level up when there is an opportunity in the future.
