The Jackal Fortress and the Kobold Fortress were completely destroyed, but the harvest was much worse than the last time. After all, after the last disastrous defeat, the elites of the two fortresses were almost annihilated. Otherwise, Li Ziyu would not have been able to win the two fortresses so easily.
A fortress.
In the last battle, there were more than 8,000 gnoll corpses, more than 5,000 kobold corpses, and more than 3,000 hyena corpses. But this time, there were only more than 3,000 gnoll corpses, and there were more kobolds, 4,000 instead.
There were more than 2,000 coyote carcasses.
What surprised Li Ziyu was that this time they actually obtained the corpses of ogres and trolls, but the number was not large, only a dozen.
Whether they are ogres or trolls, they are all big guys. They were summoned by jackal priests. Their combat power is not weak. Although they are not comparable to the elite heavy hammer skeleton warriors, it is still easy for a big guy to kill dozens of undead skeletons.
of.
It's a pity that Bentham was scared out of his wits by the surprise attack and ran away with Pansy. Otherwise, with the help of the jackal priests and priests, although there is a high probability of defeat in the end, it can also bring a lot of benefits to Li Ziyu.
casualties.
The basic combat strength of the Gnolls under Bentham is Rangers, Gnoll Warriors, and Gnoll Lancers. These three compositions make up the majority, while the three types of troops, Wolf Guards, Priests, and Priests, are very small in number.
, especially priests and priests, which are magic professions. The combined number of the two professions is about the same as that of Wolf Guards.
The Wolf Guard was sent to the battlefield last time and was completely damaged in the battle with the Bull Demon, so this time there were only priests and priests on the battlefield.
Li Ziyu analyzed it and basically clarified the situation. Bentham only introduced himself at that time, but in fact, he was the city lord of the jackal fortress, and the Waiguoren who later died was the city lord of the kobolds.
The situation should be similar to my own, the two are in an alliance.
Bentham should have taken that crooked nut as his subordinate. He never introduced the unlucky guy from beginning to end. So when the kobold city lord died, Li Ziyu didn't even know his name. Well, it was pure.
A passerby.
Thank you passerby for sending me soul energy, you are such a kind person.
Li Ziyu devoutly thanked him in his heart. Youdao is a dead enemy, and he is a truly good enemy. He was an enemy in life, but his death will not prevent him from being grateful.
[Decompose Jackal Ranger 1, obtain skeleton*2 units, jackal skin*1, intact wolf teeth*42, intact wolf claws*18, soul energy*100 units]
Li Ziyu glanced at the system information and was surprised to find that the system decomposition prompt message contained the names of the military units. Before that, they were all elite jackals and elite kobolds, and it was impossible to distinguish the military units.
Maybe it's because of this system update. It's much more convenient. At least you can know what the military units can be broken down into.
Well, it's exactly what I thought. The more advanced the arms are, the more soul energy they are given. The arms that involve magic are especially given more soul energy.
Gnoll priests and priests, for example, provide 300 units of soul energy. It can be said that they are the units that Li Ziyu has ever seen that provide the most soul energy.
After some statistics, the harvest this time was not as great as last time, but it also produced nearly 800,000 units of soul energy, which was quite a lot. Li Ziyu sincerely lamented that the development of the undead clan was inseparable from war.
The more we fight, the stronger we become. If we don’t fight, we will not be able to increase our development speed.
After two battles with the Jackal Fortress, he received as much as 2.5 million soul energy, which was much more than the total soul energy he received after traveling through time.
No wonder that in the stories passed down by the aborigines, the undead are a terrifying race that is extremely warlike and kills all living beings. This can be regarded as finding its root.
A lot of resources in other areas were also collected. In addition to a large amount of basic materials, two mobile fortress warehouses were also seized. There was a pile of miscellaneous resources that could not be used for the time being. Li Ziyu simply piled them all into his own.
In the warehouse, we don't know when to use it, but we just throw it away first.
Last time, 1.6 million units of soul energy were left useless. This time, he got 800,000 units of soul energy. He now has 2.4 million units of soul energy on hand, which is enough for him to expand.
These 2.4 million soul energy are Li Ziyu's confidence. Thinking of Bentham talking about the hundreds of thousands of cancer coalition troops before, he felt somewhat calmer.
He knew very well that even if all his soul energy was used to make skeleton long archers and elite heavy hammer skeleton warriors, he would not be able to create many such powerful units.
But it doesn't matter. There are a lot of skeletons in the Undead Mountains. He can summon a massive army of skeleton undead. The high-level soldiers will be responsible for killing and wounding, and the rest will be left to the low-level skeleton undead.
How to allocate this soul energy and create more arms needs to be studied.
Let me think about it...
The long-range firepower under his command has always been insufficient. In large-scale battles, long-range firepower is too dominant. If you think about Bentham's Jackal Lancers, you will understand that the reason why he can run rampant in the wasteland and plunder everywhere is that the Jackal Spearmen are the key.
Factors, firing a few volleys at you from a distance, and making you lie down first, will have a great impact on morale and combat effectiveness.
Li Ziyu does not have muskets in his arsenal, so archers are the key. He now has more than 300 skeleton longbowmen in his hand, but he can face the upcoming cancer coalition. What is the use of 300 skeleton longbowmen? If they are replaced by 300 Spartan warriors,
almost.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Archers must be added!
The single cost of the Skeleton Longbow requires 4 units of skeletons and 530 units of soul energy. If there are 100 people in a team, 400 units of skeletons and 53,000 units of soul energy are needed.
Skeletons don't matter, let alone 400 units of skeletons. Even if it is 4,000 units of skeletons, Li Ziyu doesn't feel distressed at all, but 53,000 soul energy is really a bit heartbreaking.
But the skeleton longbow is so advantageous on the battlefield. It has powerful attack power and long-range suppression effect. It has to be made even if it bites the bullet. Let's get 700 first and assemble 10 teams of skeleton longbowmen. This will consume 370,000 units.
Soul energy.
Elite Hammer Skeleton Warrior, this cost-effective battlefield tank, must be summoned and replenished to 3,000, which consumes 290,000 units of soul energy.
These two arms alone would consume 660,000 units of soul energy, which was not too much and gave Li Ziyu a toothache.
The high-level battle sequence is indeed the shortcoming of the undead. It's all about racial restrictions. If you want to build a high-level undead team, the soul energy consumed is sky-high. It's extremely difficult.
He is still a fortress-level mobile castle, and his troops are naturally not much higher. But even so, he feels numb. When the main building is upgraded to a higher-level mobile fortress, there will definitely be more.
When new military units appear, how much soul energy will be consumed and where to get so much soul energy is hard to even think about.
Forget it, let’s talk about the future later, think about the present first.
Do you want to create more advanced skeleton warriors?
On the surface, the advanced skeleton warrior is not as cost-effective as the elite heavy hammer skeleton warrior. After all, both consume 100 units of soul energy. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, the elite heavy hammer skeleton warrior can directly blast the advanced skeleton warrior, which is not the case at all.
A level of combat effectiveness.
But since the system has provided arms, they naturally have their value. Li Ziyu discovered the hidden usage of advanced skeleton warriors.
The elite Hammer Skeleton Warrior is a true warrior, capable of killing unparalleled enemies, single-handedly, and has a combat power report. Just by looking at the appearance, you can tell that the reputation of a battlefield tank is not in vain.
What about the high-level skeleton warrior? If you say he is strong, he is not bad. If you want to say he is not strong, he cannot beat the elite Heavy Hammer Skeleton Warrior. Li Ziyu is thinking about the purpose of the high-level skeleton warrior. He can't say anything.
Use it or not.
As a basic battle sequence, it must be valuable!
The value of a high-level skeleton warrior is not in its own combat effectiveness, but in its commanding power!
The real use of the Skeleton Warrior is to use the higher level to dominate the lower level, forming a domination pyramid, thereby controlling the huge army of undead skeletons.
After all, the undead are a race that relies on the number of undead skeletons, but if there is no way to let the undead skeletons control them, it will be difficult to exert their true combat effectiveness.
Just like the last time he fought against the Jackals, the skeleton undead Li Ziyu sent out were clearly several times stronger than the opponent's, but they were blocked by the Jackal warriors. They couldn't get past them and couldn't attack them. They were allowed to attack them at will, and tens of thousands of troops were lost in vain.
, and the maximum damage caused to the opponent is probably the consumption of the ammunition of the Jackal Lancers.
It’s so unreliable!
Li Ziyu also summarized it and felt that he had used the wrong method.
It's like having a large army in hand, but not a single officer. I have to control it all by myself. Is that possible? Once the order is given, the delivery speed is slow, and the soldiers cannot fully understand the order, even if there are many people.
, but the combat effectiveness cannot be improved.
According to this reasoning, the value of the Skeleton Warriors as a unit is equivalent to that of grassroots officers. Li Ziyu does not need to master all the Skeleton Undead. He only needs to send the Skeleton Warriors down and let them lead the Skeleton Undead in combat.
In order to verify his idea, he deliberately asked the system with the intention of giving it a try, and the system actually gave him the answer.
[Congratulations, you have discovered the hidden information "The True Purpose of the Skeleton Warrior". 】
[The true purpose of the Skeleton Warrior: As the most basic undead battle sequence, the Skeleton Warrior has special coercion and can control a certain number of skeletal undead to help the city lord better complete combat instructions. 】
[*Note: Each low-level skeleton warrior can control 1,000 skeletal undead. Each intermediate-level skeletal warrior can control 10 skeletal warriors and 10,000 skeletal undead. Each high-level skeleton warrior can control 10 skeletal undead.
Advanced skeleton warriors and 100,000 skeleton undead. Note that it is not possible to skip levels and directly complete the command.】
What a fucking dog system, it didn’t remind me of such critical information at all. If I didn’t ask, it wouldn’t tell me!
For how long, I have always thought that the Skeleton Warrior was an ordinary combatant, but it turned out that he was an officer, not an ordinary soldier at all!
No wonder it has always felt strange. The combat effectiveness of skeleton warriors is higher than that of undead skeletons, but the level is limited. To put it bluntly, they are just undead skeletons that have been equipped and trained for combat. Now I understand everything.
After Li Ziyu learned this, he was so angry that his head was about to smoke. This dog system would not only complain, but also hide information. If you don't pay attention, the dog system would hide the key things. If you don't ask, it would
I won’t tell you, hey, are you angry or not?
System, you are not a human, you are a real dog!
After taking a few deep breaths, Li Ziyu forced himself to calm down and gritted his teeth as he read the hidden information.
This time the strategy needs to be adjusted. Since the Skeleton Warriors are grassroots officers, a group of them must be summoned. With them, the Skeleton Undead can exert its true combat effectiveness, which is so critical.
Li Ziyu noticed the last sentence in the note, "It is impossible to skip levels and directly complete the control." This means that if a high-level skeleton warrior wants to control 100,000 undead skeletons, he must have 10 intermediate skeleton warriors and 100 low-level skeleton warriors.
Only the skeleton warrior can do it, otherwise he will not be able to complete his rule.
Oops... After understanding this sentence, Li Ziyu rolled her eyes in anger.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He used to have a group of mid-level and low-level skeleton warriors, but he felt that the combat effectiveness of the mid-level and low-level skeleton warriors was insufficient, so he used them as cannon fodder. Now he feels so distressed.
That’s all soul energy!
They all have to be summoned again. Each skeleton warrior requires 100 units of soul energy. It feels like my heart is bleeding.
Li Ziyu gritted his teeth, but what could he do? It was a system that could be seen but not touched. People could be angry with it, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Yes, feel free to call.
Taking 100,000 as a legion, a legion requires 1 high-level skeleton warrior, 10 mid-level skeleton warriors, and 100 low-level skeleton warriors. To meet the requirements, 11,100 units of soul energy need to be consumed.
It’s okay, it’s too much, and it’s acceptable.
Um... There is no need to summon high-level skeleton warriors. I just summoned 500 of them before. You only need to summon mid- to low-level skeleton warriors.
Thinking of the 500 high-level skeleton warriors summoned, Li Ziyu's heart began to bleed again.
Damn it, there are too many summons, how long will it take to do this!
Let’s calculate based on the amount of 15 legions. 10 legions is Li Ziyu’s target. As for the remaining skeleton warriors, they are backup. After all, they are on the battlefield. If they die, there must be skeletons that can be sent there.
Warrior right?
To create a skeleton warrior, another 165,000 units of soul energy have to be consumed, and the remaining soul energy on hand is less than 1.6 million.
However, in this way, the combat effectiveness of Li Ziyu's undead has been greatly enhanced, and the soul energy is not wasted.
Li Ziyu thought about it for a moment, and found that among the types of soldiers he had researched, there was another type of unit that he had not yet created - the Skeleton Short Archer.
In order to save resources, Li Ziyu chose the Skeleton Long Archer. He had never summoned the Short Archer, but this time he remembered it.
He has no shortage of bones now, and the ammunition that the short archers need to consume can be fully supplied. As a long-range unit like the long archers, Li Ziyu does not intend to let it go. Anyway, the soul energy has been consumed, and the short archers are not short of this.
.
Each short archer needs to consume 3 units of bones and 310 units of soul energy. Compared to the long archer, the short archer consumes less soul energy.
Li Ziyu decided to test the water with 1,000 first to see how the combat effectiveness was. If the effect was good, he could add more later, so with a wave of his hand, another 310,000 soul energy was spread out.
In order to strengthen herself, Li Ziyu worked hard and experienced the feeling of spending a lot of money.
This is what it feels like to be a rich person. You can be willful when you have money, you can scatter money happily and be happy!
I was thinking this in my heart, but my eyes were slightly moist. Damn it, it felt like I suddenly got rich, got more than 2 million, and then in the blink of an eye, half of it was gone. I was happy, woo woo hoo, I was so happy.
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, as long as the undead can develop, it will be good, and they can make money again!
