Fortunately, they were discovered in time, and Liv learned the resurrection technique, and the people of the Church of Light were willing to donate the life crystals for free. The soldiers who died because of the sudden attack by the horned apes and the girl who was caught as food all survived intact.
But this incident also gave Jia Zhengjin a big warning.
Because the surrounding areas of Shenglong City have been safe for a long time, the vigilance has become weaker when people are out of the city. Coupled with the increase in the number of troops on the fortress, the defense inside the city is relatively weak.
Of course, this is not to blame for a problem with Perrin's distribution, but rather a fundamental lack of troops in the city.
The scale of Holy Dragon City is getting larger and larger. In the past, the number of patrols that could protect the surrounding safety was insufficient and somewhat inadequate. In particular, the number of capable generals was insufficient, which also led to ordinary people facing the emergence of BOSS-level ethnic creatures.
Patrollers or soldiers are at a disadvantage in combat.
Soldiers can be replenished through various recruiting units, but generals have some difficulties. For generals with some strength, the recruitment conditions are relatively strict. For example, it takes about a month to summon a werewolf. The recruitment of imperial generals is based on the total number of imperial soldiers.
Relatedly, a third general can be recruited only when a soldier reaches a certain level.
In the final analysis, it is still necessary to greatly expand the military strength in the city!
Of course, even so, there is a serious shortage of generals. The tavern can only refresh three at a time, and you have to wait seven days for the next recruitment.
Three in seven days, only about ten in a month, and the quality varies, so they may not be useful!
"Lord Keen! The leader of this horned ape group and most of the horned apes have been eliminated, but some of the horned apes fled to the southeast!" Varian and Buddy came to report at the same time.
"Chase!" Jia Zhengjin said coldly, "Leave no one alive, kill them all!"
"Yes!!" Varian and Buddy looked at each other and immediately led their respective troops to march southeast.
"Liv, Qiong..." Jia Zhengjin turned around and glanced at the priests of the Church of Light who were comforting the resurrected girl and soldiers, "And Master Leo, please take everyone back to the city first. At the same time, help me make an announcement.
The whole city, all collecting activities outside the city have been suspended for the past few days, and we will wait until I solve the city defense problem and ensure that there will be no accidents in the surrounding area!"
"Yes!!" Of course, the church's pastors also saw this emergency. Fortunately, the Holy Lady was here, otherwise the losses would have been heavy! Of course, human life is a matter of vital importance and cannot be ignored.
"Lord Keen!" Leo stood up, "The incident happened suddenly. We have consumed a lot of life crystals and have to go back to the Church of Light to get it from His Majesty the Pope. You see..."
"Master Leo, it's not convenient for me to interfere in the affairs of your Light Church!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "But the life crystal is indeed very important, so you should prepare more."
"That's right!" Leo turned to look at Liv, "However, I'm afraid we need the Saint to go back to the church with us this time! There is a limit on the number of life crystals we can receive every month, but the Saint is different.
!Furthermore, His Majesty the Pope also wants to meet the Saint..."
"Oh?" Jia Zhengjin looked at Liv when he heard this. If Liv left at this juncture, the power around him would be greatly weakened. After all, she is the only ninth-level strong subordinate beside him.
But without the Life Crystal, Liv's resurrection spell cannot be used. She does not have a vein of Life Crystal, and she doesn't know how to find such a vein! In fact, perhaps only the Church of Light in this world knows the location of the Life Crystal and how to collect it.
Furthermore, if you want Liv to successfully undercover the Church of Light, you should indeed pass the Pope’s test first!
Fortunately, Connie will be in town soon, so it shouldn't be a big problem for Liv to be away for a while!
Thinking of this, he nodded: "This is an internal matter within your Church of Light. There is no need to ask me for instructions! Although Holy Dragon City needs your power, this kind of thing still depends on the wishes of the Holy Lady!"
Although the words were not explained, Liv clearly understood what Jia Zhengjin meant: "Just right! I also think I should go to see His Majesty the Pope."
"That would be the best!" Leo was quite excited. Successfully bringing the Saint back to the Church of Light is his contribution! Although he does not expect any reward, in the future, Guangming will leave a mark in history.
He found and brought back the current saint of the church, so he is considered a guide and has considerable honor!
"Then let's go back to the city to settle these children and convey the government order to Lord Keen," Liv turned around and said, "and then we'll discuss the departure!"
"Yes!!" The pastors were excited.
When the pastor takes the people away, the matter is over.
Varian and Buddy personally led the troops to pursue the horned ape group. Without the horned ape king, they did not pose any threat at all!
Speaking of the Horned Ape King, he quickly came to the corpse and groped around for a while.
[System] You have obtained the construction drawings of the horned ape's nest!
[System] You have obtained the Horn of the Horned Ape King!
[System] You have obtained a unicorn headdress!
[System] You have obtained an iron ax (exquisite)!
[System] You have obtained a scroll of speed (normal)!
[System] You have obtained a scroll of power (normal)!
[System] You have obtained the iron tire bow (exquisite)!
[System] You have obtained a golden horn!
It is a BOSS after all, and there are quite a lot of explosive things.
[Construction blueprint of the horned ape's nest] Use raw meat to recruit horned apes to fight for you, and use raw meat to gain the loyalty of the horned ape. The more powerful the horned ape, the more raw meat is needed! Materials required for construction: 10,000 stones, 500 iron ore
, 500 copper mines!
Judging from the material requirements, it seems to be on the same level as the Kobold Lair. I just don’t know what types of troops can be recruited.
If there are no special troops, there is no need to summon them. The combat effectiveness of imperial soldiers is much stronger than ordinary horned apes!
[Horn of the Horned Ape King] is made from the sharp horns on the head of the Horned Ape King. When you blow it, you can randomly summon a number of Horned Ape troops ranging from 100 to 500 to fight for you.
It looks good, but it seems to be of little use to Jia Zhengjin. Now he is constantly facing seventh- and eighth-level monsters, and even thousands of horned apes are of no use.
[Horned Headgear] Defense +1, having a horn on your head will make you look very special!
This is purely an ornamental headwear.
Although the iron ax and the iron bow are of exquisite quality, their attributes are not strong, so just give them to a certain general!
[Scroll of Speed] (Normal) Tear it apart and you will get a 10% movement speed bonus!
[Strength Scroll] (Normal) Tear it apart and you will get a 10% strength attribute bonus!
The scroll looks okay, but I'm not sure when it will be used.
【Golden Horn】Material for making certain advanced weapons.
