After the sun completely set, darkness completely enveloped the northern land. Only the waning moon in the sky gave off a faint light.
Humans have never been nocturnal animals, especially in this era when most people have some night blindness, and very few people travel at night.
Even a sufficiently elite army will not march at night unless absolutely necessary.
The earth is also extremely quiet at night, so that the faint chirping of insects is a bit harsh.
"Da da da……"
The sound of horse hooves came from far away, and the rapid sound of horse hooves was particularly clear under the quiet night sky.
The person on the horse is none other than Richard,
After arranging the return trip, Richard picked two good horses and ran towards the Stone Castle alone, where a week's worth of troops were still stored.
What's more important is that after the battle, the mission of the Ogre Warrior Council has been shown as completed, and Richard has to rush to receive the mission reward before taking on a new mission.
The early morning sun shone through the hazy morning fog on the thick walls of the Stone Fortress,
With the help of the magic boots, Richard finally arrived at the Stone Castle early in the morning after traveling for a day and a night.
After ordering the remaining spearmen to open the city gate, Richard rode straight into the city.
The city looked very empty. After the castle that originally belonged to the Will family was occupied by Richard, everyone in the castle had been moved out.
Now, apart from a few spearmen left behind, only the newly recruited troops this week are still in the city.
After entering the city, Richard rushed to the meeting hall located in the center of the castle.
The meeting hall still looks empty like the entire castle. The ground is spotless everywhere you look, and the table tops are clean and shiny. I don't know how these buildings are kept neat and tidy after being empty for so long.
"Destroy the ogre 500(4328)
Destroy Ogre Warrior 10(13)"
"The task has been completed, do you want to receive the reward?"
"yes"
Richard did not hesitate. Coming back to collect the reward was one of the important purposes.
"Congratulations on getting 25,000 experience points as reward"
"Congratulations on winning the Crusader 12th place"
"Congratulations on getting the treasure-Vulcan Sword"
"Congratulations on your upgrade!"
Unexpectedly, Richard's level has been improved again, and the character panel has undergone some changes.
Richard
Level:8(23400/50000)
Strength:16.5
Physique:15.2
Agility:15.1
Spirit:5.1
The four-dimensional attributes have been improved a little. Although Richard is now only at the peak level of a knight in terms of fighting spirit, in terms of physical fitness alone, he is no longer inferior to the average knight.
The other generous rewards also made Richard unable to hide the smile on his face.
The reward of 12 Crusaders fully made up for the losses in the campaign,
The Vulcan Sword was an unexpected surprise,
A long gray sword has quietly appeared on the table of the meeting hall.
"Vulcan Sword:
1. The attack of the troops under your command increases by 30%.
2, the user will be endowed with the power of fire, fire attribute attack +6."
The moment Richard's hand touched the Vulcan Sword, the attributes and effects of the Vulcan Sword appeared in his consciousness.
The attributes of the Vulcan Sword were somewhat similar to those of the Vulcan Sword in his vague memory, but also seemed to be a little different. After recalling it for a while, Richard simply gave up and began to study the long sword in his hand carefully. Anyway, he had to recognize any difference.
Richard held the hilt of the sword with both hands and waved it several times in the air.
The sword is longer and heavier than the two-handed sword he used before.
But it just so happened that Richard's strength had grown a bit quickly, and his original long sword had become lighter, so he was planning to replace it.
The Vulcan Sword came at just the right time. Although it was a little heavier, it was still usable. However, after swinging the sword a few times, Richard was a little confused and didn't find much special about this gray long sword.
Where did this fire attribute attack +6 come from? There are no instructions for using this sword.
After tinkering around and finding nothing, Richard simply channeled his fighting spirit and tried to attach himself to the Vulcan Sword.
"boom!"
The gray long sword spit out a tongue of fire, and Richard was so shocked that he quickly leaned back.
The originally cyan fighting spirit was directly transformed into fiery red, and the gray long sword was completely wrapped in flowing flames. Without Richard's initiative, the tip of the sword could spit out nearly a foot of fiery red fighting spirit.
This Vulcan Sword is like a mage's wand, greatly improving the efficiency of using fighting energy.
Come on, don’t be stubborn now on the battlefield. Once you use the Vulcan Sword, you will immediately become the most dazzling guy on the battlefield.
Richard estimates that his level of hatred will be comparable to that of the Flamethrowers during World War II.
But the effect of the Fire God Sword is too strong. Just the 30% army attack bonus is not something he can give up.
Not to mention that apart from being dazzling on the battlefield, this sword has no other aspects to say at all. Except for the user Richard, who is immune to the high-temperature effects of the Vulcan Sword, everyone else who fights with Richard will be constantly affected by the Vulcan Sword.
The actual combat effect of burning damage is definitely not bad.
"well"
After thinking for a while, Richard finally made a decision,
Since you can't bear it, then let yourself be able to bear it a little bit.
Open the character panel,
At this time, Richard still only has three skills:
The Breathing Technique of the Beast (Grand Master) is the highest, the Qing Qi Entraining Technique (Intermediate), and the Offensive Technique (Advanced).
Specialty: Control
Available skill points: 2
From level six to level eight, Richard saved two skill points, but it was still not enough to improve the level of offensive skills.
Only Qing's Qi Entrainment Technique can improve it.
Gritting his teeth, Richard spent all his skill points on the Qing Qi Entrainment Technique.
The moment the Qing Qi Entrainment Technique level became advanced, a powerful Qi rushed out of Zi Richard's body without any warning.
Then it spread to the limbs and bones,
"hiss!"
The movement of promotion this time was far greater than before. The fighting spirit seemed to be transforming Richard's body, giving him a painful and happy feeling.
It took at least nearly an hour before Richard's limbs slowly recovered.
At this time, Richard felt that his whole body was full of strength, and his fighting spirit had never been stronger.
He poured fighting energy into the Vulcan Sword in his hand again, and the Vulcan Sword spit out nearly one meter of flame tongue.
He felt that if he returned to the battlefield with the ogres, the ogre leader who had a fierce fight with him before would probably die under his sword in less than ten moves, and he might even directly turn into a barbecue ogre.
The kind that smells like meat.
Open the properties panel again. At this time, Richard's properties have changed significantly.
Level:8(23400/50000)
Strength:21.2
Physique:20.1
Agility:20.3
Spirit:7.8
All three-dimensional attributes have exceeded 20, and even the mental attributes, which have not changed much, have also improved.
The key is that the quality and total amount of Dou Qi have improved several times compared with before.
Sure enough, advancing from knight to grand knight is a leap forward, even if you have just entered this stage.
