Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 488 - 223 The Archer Clan of the Territory_2
If they are still standing under the [Sacred Treasure: Extreme Battle Banner], led by the Heroic Commander, they can reach up to 59% damage reduction in the best circumstances.
Of course, military units like the Black Banner Guard and Knights, which are inherently tough and robust, can achieve damage reduction as high as 70%, even 80%! At least Tier Four Black Banner Guard, in full status, have 70% fixed damage reduction.
In such a situation, even high-tier spirit skill bombardment, after undergoing fixed reduction, will see its damage greatly reduced, and then defensive deductions further cut it down. Remaining damage will be minimal.
This ratio even surpasses the hero’s 50% damage reduction.
The hero’s 50% reduction is quite common; many have seen this reduction ratio on various skills or traits and have a very intuitive impression.
But further stacking it to a 70% reduction ratio can only be described as astonishingly strong; ordinary armies simply can’t move them! To effectively damage them, either the trait must be remarkably strong, or the number and scale must be overwhelmingly despairing.
Without these advantages, in usual battles, they are almost like heavily armored bulldozers.
Obviously, with such a damage reduction ratio, investing in defense value is the most cost-effective.
The reason the third tier of the Clan Badge can be activated is chiefly because a large number of spiritual gems exploded, and territorial soldiers underwent batch upgrades, while ordinary clan badges were discarded to Audrey’s undead underlings. Even a Little Skeleton under her command has its chest armor embedded with badges glowing with a faint spiritual energy from the domain.
This shabby body paired with such a radiant, noble, and magnificent badge is quite incongruous; others need only glance to know these Skeleton Soldiers belong to a major force.
Tens of thousands of glittering clan badges shine brilliantly in an impressive, orderly military formation, symbolizing not only wealth but also the representation of powerful military strength.
Seeing this badge is enough to demand respect and voluntary retreat from countless people.
Of course, such an investment level must ensure victory in battles.
Because once defeated, the numerous badges abandoned on the battlefield, interspersed with tens of thousands of lost fine-level equipment, this loss alone is heart-wrenching enough to cause spasms.
Including Lin Rui!
Despite him often dismissing small expenses, casually spending a few thousand Realm Coins and Spirit Crystal Coins, this money is nothing compared to the real military resources, completely negligible.
The territory’s true vast wealth is actually invested in the army.
Even with the Golden Pansy Domain’s treasury, if the main force is defeated on the battlefield, it would take at least several cycles, even decades, to rearm a force of elites.
Thinking about military equipment, Lin Rui asked, "As the territory is about to expand its army, how is your production here?"
Although Lin Rui acquired a large amount of fine-level equipment on the battlefield, there is a huge strength difference even between items rated as fine-level.
Those fine-level equipment with only one attribute, rated 30-40, the produced weapons in the territory must at least be rated 120-150.
Groller immediately said, "A large batch of equipment has been forged, mainly over a hundred rare-level weapons, along with over four thousand pieces of fine-level equipment, all sent for improvement at the armory."
"Continue working then, I’ll go check the armory," Lin Rui waved his hand.
The armory is exactly his next destination; that’s where the territory’s current military equipment mainly comes from.
These two places are not far; Lin Rui soon reached his target.
The armory hasn’t changed much, with only Caroline expanding it by 50%, no change in attributes.
But the impact on Lin Rui was stronger than any other building.
He finally realized what a grand, bright place this vast armory was without those piles of equipment waste!
The equipment waste had all been sent to [Great Skill Dominator’s Waste Reinforcement Workshop] by Moon Marsh Lake, prepared to reinforce soldiers.
The cleaned Steel Hand armory, with its bold steel dome design, casting bright light throughout, has a strong industrial style and an intoxicating smell of oil.
On the building walls, sets of cool, heavy power armor are neatly arranged.
This time entering the armory, no explosion greeted him, but rather an ethereal, elegant female voice.
So beautiful, like celestial music, Lin Rui felt he understood Aunt Shirley’s exaggerated claim of ear pregnancy.
Truly delightful, refreshing!
Oddly, why had he never heard such an elegant ethereal voice before?
Which territory’s citizen possessed this voice kissed by the Divine Spirit?
Curious, Lin Rui walked closer and found that the speaker was Galo.
Galo had changed out of her combat attire, wearing a water-blue chiffon gown, luxurious and elegant.
Seeing Lin Rui’s surprised look, she smiled gracefully, her voice gentle and soothing, asking, "Lord, don’t you recognize me?"
Lin Rui’s eyes brightened; Galo was frosty and holy on the battlefield, leading him to believe she had a staunch heroic character.
Unexpectedly, off the battlefield, she possessed such a gentle nature.
Not easy!
The territory finally welcomed a peerless woman who was elegant and normal in character, voice, and even temperament.
Unlike Audrey’s boisterousness or Su Xi’s stubborn coldness, and certainly not Wutong’s unparalleled charm like she doesn’t partake in mortal affairs.
The vibes are that of a cultured, outstandingly elegant noblewoman.
Lin Rui guessed she must belong to a rather noble family in an influential faction?
Though unfamiliar, Lin Rui didn’t rashly inquire, instead asking, "I heard you went to Titan Sky Mountain, how come you’re at the armory?"
Galo calmly replied, "My homeland is renowned for archery; citizens usually cultivate a clan as their battle pet. Therefore, archers usually have beasts of considerable strength nearby. I went to Titan Sky Mountain hoping to find suitable beasts to enhance the Holy Hall Maid Guard’s power."
Truly a reassuring hero!
Just joined the territory, already pondering how to enhance its combat capabilities.
It contrasts sharply with Hanna’s troublesome behavior.
This is the kind of hero who can become a chief support like Terion!
Lin Rui immediately asked with concern, "Did you find suitable beasts?"
Galo shook her head, saying, "The beast variety is somewhat monotonous on Titan Sky Mountain. The most powerful Griffin’s style doesn’t seem suitable for the Holy Hall Maid Guard."
Lin Rui nodded; indeed, that’s the case.
Although elves have archers mounted on Giant Eagles or Horned Owls as airborne rangers, neither the temperament nor combat power quite matches the Holy Hall Maid Guard.
The Holy Hall Maid Guard isn’t a roaming shooting unit; rather, they’re heavy shooters organized in place, creating a barrier barrage relying on trait attacks to continuously increase attack speed. Tactically, they’re somewhat akin to magic machine guns.
Which unit would carry machine guns while running around?
Lin Rui curiously asked, "What clan do you usually rely on?"
Galo thought a moment, then said, "Tigers, leopards, or hawks and falcons; I think a black panther fits the Holy Hall Maid Guard’s style well, though it needs modification by the armory."
Burton also nodded, saying, "Lord, I think Galo’s idea is quite good. It’s very inspiring to me."
