Lord Game: I Have 100 Million Talents-Chapter 205 - 119: Middle-earth Warhammer Teleportation Gate, Vampire Culture Soldier Type (3)
’It’s essentially a carbon copy of how you acquire prisoners from faction soldiers in Mount & Blade 2.’
’The other Warhammer Cultural Soldier Types probably use the same prisoner mechanic from Mount & Blade. You have to completely crush their legions before you can capture any units that surrender.’
’After all, the only thing they’ve retained is the ability to feel different emotions in response to sudden combat situations.’
’They haven’t retained enough intelligence or consciousness...’
Qin Feng didn’t give it much thought.
In any case, the Warhammer Soldier Types appearing over the next month would likely just be skeleton cannon fodder.
And after this cannon fodder fell in battle, they could still be resurrected by Arthas’s Book of the Dead skill, becoming Divine Chosen skeleton cannon fodder for his own army.
Killing them or capturing them—the difference wasn’t huge.
In fact, these skeletons were weak enough to be perfect targets for farming Bloodthirsty Layers.
Qin Feng was itching to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.
With that thought, he adjusted his future plans slightly.
Fenrir would be off duty, while he and Arthas would clock in. The high-level units from the Undead Legion would head to the Northern Death Zone to grind experience and level up with Valkyrie.
The lower-level Undead Soldiers would remain behind to transform this city, which was currently concealing the Middle-earth Warhammer Teleportation Gate, into Arthas’s own City of the Dead near his territory—the Ice Crown Fortress.
Given the current spawn rate of the Middle-earth Warhammer Teleportation Gate, this "Ice Crown Fortress" would soon be occupied by tens of thousands of Undead Soldiers, completely transforming it into the Catastrophe Legion’s most famous ultimate fortress from his past life.
By then, it would be heavily guarded by tens of thousands of Undead Soldiers.
Surely no clueless idiot would dare to come snooping around for the Middle-earth Warhammer Teleportation Gate hidden beneath the Ice Crown Fortress.
...
After dealing with the Middle-earth Warhammer Teleportation Gate, Qin Feng shifted his focus back to training his two Divine Gift skills.
Whenever he grew bored with training, he would switch over to his Arthas alt to slaughter the skeleton cannon fodder sent by the Vampire Clans and farm up his Bloodthirsty Layers.
He also occasionally spent time with Fenrir, who was idle after returning to the Royal City, sparring and exchanging pointers.
This continued until the "Strongest Lord" event finally came to a close.
A system notification popped up right on schedule, informing Qin Feng that he had won the event’s grand prize: a total of 1,000 Dragon Crystals.
Including the rewards from killing the Lust Players and the Void Boss, plus his daily earnings for ranking first in events, he had amassed over 1,700 Dragon Crystals.
The second Void Tide was imminent, and his Dragon Crystal count would surely rise from over 1,700 to more than 2,000. But Qin Feng, a firm believer in the ’upgrade early, enjoy early’ philosophy, went ahead and started his ’concubine selection’ plan a day ahead of schedule.
Initial Talent: Recruit Prisoners.
Skipped.
’Aside from unlocking the crucial Survival of the Fittest Talent, this is probably the most useless Mount & Blade-style Talent to upgrade.’
’My Dragon Crystals are already limited, so I can’t waste any on it. It’s pretty much the last thing I’d upgrade.’
Initial Talent: Middle-earth Warhammer.
Also skipped. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
’It offers slightly more value than Recruit Prisoners, but only slightly.’
’Unless I have Dragon Crystals to spare.’
’Otherwise, I’d never prioritize upgrading it.’
Initial Talent: Bloodthirsty.
God-tier, without a doubt.
’Based on the pattern from the last Void Tide, if I upgrade the Bloodthirsty Talent to Level 4 now, I can use the twenty-thousand-plus Void Creatures from the upcoming wave to massively boost the newly unlocked stacking modifier.’
’So, no hesitation. I’ll just go for it.’
Additional Talent: War Merit Enfeoffment.
Also incredibly powerful.
’According to my previous estimates... a Level 2 War Merit Enfeoffment should unlock the top-tier effect that allows a Divine Chosen Soldier to evolve into a Heroic Unit.’
’So I have to get it, no question about it.’
’I absolutely cannot miss out on the numerous Void Bosses in this Void Tide.’
That left...
...only the Survival of the Fittest and More Wild Monsters Talents.
This left Qin Feng with a difficult choice.
He knew that if he just waited half a day and got through the second Void Tide, he would have enough to unlock the Level 2 forms for both.
But Qin Feng hated the feeling of losing out.
Even if it meant just waiting for half a day.
’According to the game’s mod settings, the Level 2 form of Survival of the Fittest should make my soldiers stronger the longer a battle lasts.’
’If not that, then it’s that the higher the casualty rate among my troops, the stronger the surviving soldiers become.’
’But this More Wild Monsters Talent?’
’I’m not sure.’
’I can’t guess what it does.’
’It feels like it should increase the quantity or quality of the Middle-earth Warhammer Soldier Types that appear.’
’But it might also provide a different kind of boost.’
’So... do I want a powerful temporary buff now, or do I want half a day’s worth of high-quality prisoners?’
After pondering for a long time, Qin Feng finally decided to upgrade the Survival of the Fittest Talent first.
This was because it would certainly reduce the overall casualty rate of his Divine Chosen Army during the dangerous Void Tide.
That was a tangible benefit.
On the other hand, upgrading the More Wild Monsters Talent to Level 2... whatever new effect it provided, it would certainly be a long-term gain with no immediate practical benefits.
For example, it might cause high-level Burrow Warriors to spawn from the Middle-earth Warhammer Teleportation Gate.
Or perhaps even higher-level Tomb Guards.
Qin Feng’s current ace unit was his Wing Connection Desert Wolf Cavalry, which could effortlessly demolish these cannon-fodder soldier types from the Vampire Culture.
He didn’t need the minuscule power boost they offered at all.
’Alright then.’
’It’s decided.’
’Dragon Crystals.’
’Activate.’
[You have consumed 1,500 Dragon Crystals!]
[Your Hidden Talents "Bloodthirsty," "Survival of the Fittest," and "War Merit Enfeoffment" have been upgraded to the next level!]
