[Skill 2: Ten kills in one step "Active" (physical group attack, additional knockback effect)]
[Skill Three: Wind Explosion Footwork "Active" (greatly increases one's own speed and consumes one's own energy greatly)]
[Skill 4: Chain Hammer Mastery "Passive" (When using the chain hammer, the damage will be moderately increased)]
"He is worthy of being called the "Skull-Crushing Madman". The professions are so unique. From the perspective of skills, he should belong to a rare category of warrior professions."
Looking at the introduction on Benson's attribute column, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
"It turns out that the reason why Benson's speed is so amazing is because he has mastered a speed-increasing skill."
"Judging from the description, no wonder this guy gave up in advance before 3 minutes were up. The energy consumption of this skill is also very shocking."
After closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao focused his gaze on the Lord of Luolong City in front of him again.
Then he said seriously: "Benson, from this moment on, you are officially included in the territory's roster, become a member of the territory, and become a partner who fights side by side with us. I hope that in the territory's merit list
On the list, your name will always be at the top."
"Lord, please rest assured that this life of my subordinate is given to me by the lord. I must do my best to add a small amount of strength to the lord's eternal achievements!"
Benson's pale face covered with scars was full of solemnity, and he looked at Lei Xiao firmly.
"Very good, but please remember that eternal achievements are secondary. What I really pursue is the truth of this world and the many unsolved mysteries including the blank era."
Nodding to Benson, Lei Xiao waved and other subordinates came forward.
While continuing to speak with bright eyes: "For example, why do we, one billion alien lords, suddenly descend on this magical alien world with countless continental plates? Another example, what is the upcoming catastrophe, and what exactly is it?
Where does it originate?”
"And in this world filled with thousands of races, the prerequisite for pursuing all of this is continuous growth and development. I hope you can follow my footsteps and go together to clear the clouds and explore the truth of the world!"
Having said this, Lei Xiao's dark eyes moved, scanning the faces of the subordinates one by one, and his eyes became more determined: "Please, everyone."
"My subordinates are willing to go through fire and water for the lord, no matter what!"
Hearing the sound, the subordinates surrounding Lei Xiao all touched their chests and saluted, saying in unison.
Looking at the equally determined faces of the subordinates around him, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
At this point, the goal of this trip has been perfectly achieved.
Not only did he successfully conquer Luolong City Lord Benson according to the planned plan, he also brought Luolong City into his own sphere of influence. Together with Ge Lincheng, he became a fatal wedge behind the second prince's power.
Moreover, he unexpectedly conquered Randall and Hongshi.
Needless to say, the role of subduing Randall is equivalent to taking control of one of Leng Yan's top mercenary groups: the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group with three great magicians.
And conquering Hong Shi, who is the Goblin Crown Prince, is equivalent to taking control of this Goblin Kingdom called the Kingdom of Thorns.
In this way, it reduces the pressure on Luolong City's defense from the outside world.
The 20,000 Goblin regular army can undoubtedly further strengthen its overall combat power and lay a solid foundation for a large-scale battle that may come at any time.
"This trip to the foreign lands has indeed yielded a lot."
While feeling happy in his heart, Lei Xiao let out a long breath and said to the subordinates: "Okay, let's rest here for a while."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao came to the stone chair on the side of the living room and sat down.
Although there are no soft sofas unique to the human race here, the stone chairs are covered with soft and smooth monster fur, which is very comfortable and quite exotic.
After sitting down, Lei Xiao suddenly felt relaxed, and then he felt that his body was already a little sore.
Needless to say, although the competition just lasted less than 3 minutes, the high-intensity movement and dodge with full concentration when facing Benson's pursuit was undoubtedly a new experience that had never been experienced before.
"I have benefited a lot from this competition with Benson. I will have to combine the power of God's favor and do some practice later. You know, this is my life-saving trick."
Thinking of this thoughtfully, Lei Xiao waved his hand, called Benson to sit next to him, and began to understand the specific situation of Qiluolong City.
After Benson's detailed introduction, Lei Xiao learned.
As he learned, the regular garrison of Luolong City was originally eight thousand men, and there were five elite second-order guard squadrons.
However, after the Goblins suddenly attacked the city, Benson had already organized all 2,000 reserve troops into a standing army just in case, to mainly defend the entrance to the dungeon and nearby areas.
"Lord, the current number of ordinary garrison troops in Luolong City has reached 10,000, and most of each combat team is composed of veterans. Compared with before, the combat effectiveness has only increased."
Nodding respectfully to Lei Xiao, Benson introduced: "As for the reserve force, my subordinates have reorganized three brigades, and the commanders at each level are all served by the backbone of veterans, and training is being stepped up.
."
"Understood, that is to say, at present, the conventional troops that Luolong City can mobilize have reached the size of a legion? There are also five elite second-tier squadrons."
After listening to Benson's introduction, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully while stroking the soft monster fur covering the armrest of the seat.
"Back to Lord, that's exactly what it is."
A trace of pride appeared on Benson's face covered with scars, and he responded: "Among the garrison of Fallen Dragon City, there are three thousand people who are subordinates in the extreme southern rainforest fortress. When he served as the commander of the special operations force,
I have always followed my subordinates who have experienced many battles."
"The strength of these ordinary soldiers is mostly above the first level of eight stars, and they have rich combat experience. Their comprehensive combat capabilities are far better than those of ordinary city garrison troops."
At this point, Benson's pale face was filled with a little fanaticism, and he continued: "Therefore, please rest assured, Lord, as long as the Lord gives the order, no matter it is an offensive or an encounter, this team under my command will
The legion will inflict a fatal blow to the enemy like a violent storm."
"Very good. I look forward to your outstanding performance on the battlefield. That day is already very close to us."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao showed a satisfied smile and nodded slightly.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao seemed to remember something and asked Benson a question he had been wondering about for a long time.
That is, this guy has already reached the peak level of the third level more than 20 years ago. Why has he not broken through the shackles and stepped into the threshold of the fourth level powerhouse?
"To be honest with you Lord, the reason why my subordinates have never advanced to the fourth level is because of an unexpected accident that year."
With a heavy sigh, Benson showed a rare depressed expression and began to explain.
"Twenty-one years ago, my subordinates who had reached the peak level of the third level were only one step away from being promoted to the fourth level. But just before they were about to advance, something happened to them.
Something unexpected.”
"It was during a routine operation to clean the battlefield that my subordinates accidentally discovered a mysterious hidden cave. After some exploration, they found a notorious necromancer inside."
"According to my subordinate's understanding, this guy took advantage of the war to do a lot of evil in my border village of Lengyan and kidnapped many innocent children. Therefore, my subordinate did not consider anything else and just went to the cave with him.
A bloody battle broke out inside."
"After a fierce fight, my subordinates smashed all the skeleton warriors summoned by him, and then swung the heavy chain hammer to the necromancer's bare head. At that moment, he knew that he would definitely die.
, he smiled evilly and launched a self-destruction, directly injuring his subordinates who were caught off guard and seriously injured."
Benson pointed to his scarred face, shook his head helplessly and said, "Half of the scars on my subordinate's face were caused by the bones of the opponent that were splashed out at that time."
Sighing again, Benson continued: "What's even more despairing is that at the moment the other party self-destructed, a thick black mist burst out of the other party's body first, and all of it poured into the body of his subordinates.
…”
"Benson, are you saying that you encountered the death curse of the necromancer?" Hearing this, Orange Bai, who was also listening attentively, couldn't help blurting out.
"That's right, General Holy Light, it's the curse of death." He nodded at Jubai. Some of the many old scars on Benson's face seemed to be vaguely lingering with black energy.
"A curse of death?" Lei Xiao fell into deep thought while listening to the conversation between the two.
In this world, curses, like necromantic spells, petrification spells, dark spells, corrosion spells, etc., are all taboo spells, and few people practice them.
Because this kind of practice is often based on the lives of other innocent people.
Therefore, practitioners of forbidden arts, almost without exception, are notorious people, and most of them have several wanted orders or fatwas on their backs.
Moreover, some special types of forbidden spells, in addition to posing a huge threat to the target, will also cause a certain degree of magical backlash on the caster himself.
Such as petrification magic and various curses.
Not to mention the petrification magic, Lei Xiao had already seen it before when he was in the winged human tribe's barrier area.
As for the curse, this was the first time Lei Xiao saw it.
"It is said that there are many types of curses, but most of them harm others without benefiting oneself, and the death curse is even worse. It means that the caster imposes some kind of powerful curse on the target at the cost of life."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao pondered and nodded.
It seems that Benson has been unable to advance due to the curse.
"Lord, the death curse imposed on this subordinate is the energy vortex in the body, which will never continue to grow. In other words, the third level of peak level is already the limit of this subordinate's life."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Benson said dimly: "Therefore, my subordinates can only continue to hone their combat skills on the battlefield and improve themselves on the other hand, but the third-level peak powerhouse is too limited after all, and cannot
Get a qualitative leap..."
"So that's what happened."
After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Lei Xiao's eyes focused on the two fourth-level healing experts under his command.
Although the curse is powerful, it is essentially a special negative effect that can be removed using purification magic.
Ye Cang and Ju Bai are senior experts in this field.
"Lord, if it is an ordinary curse, my subordinates can still find a way to solve it, but there is no way to solve the curse of death."
Noticing the questioning gaze cast by Lei Xiao, Ju Bai helplessly shook his head and responded.
"Lord, my subordinates are also proficient in some curses and can use the special methods of dark healers to practice without harming innocent people."
Ye Cang on the side frowned and shook his head: "However, at least with the current strength of my subordinates, I still cannot purify the curse of death."
"Lord, no need to trouble."
With a wry smile and a sigh, Benson said: "In the first ten years, my subordinates never gave up hope of solving the curse. However, the result was that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
"
Benson subconsciously grasped the armrest of the seat with all his strength. Between his eyebrows, several lines of eyebrows were lowered, separated by old scars.
Then he continued: "In the past ten years, during the free time from the border battlefield, my subordinates visited almost all the well-known healing powerhouses in all human nations, but they only received shakes of their heads and sighs."
"Finally, my subordinates accidentally met an old Mr. Bright Bishop from the Temple of Light who specializes in curses. He learned that in order to break this fatal curse, two harsh conditions that are almost impossible to achieve must be met."
Having said this, Benson's face covered with scars not only showed no joy, but became even darker. He lowered his head and said, "It was these two extremely harsh conditions that made this subordinate completely give up the idea of lifting the curse.
I had no choice but to obey the destiny."
"oh?"
Lei Xiao's eyes lit up, and he nodded to indicate for the other party to continue talking.
As long as there is hope that the curse can be lifted, Lei Xiao will naturally not let it go.
If Benson can be promoted to the fourth level, it will undoubtedly be a big help to himself.
"Lord, the two harsh conditions for lifting the curse are as follows..."
Next to Lei Xiao, Benson, who looked gloomy, raised his head again and began to describe.
