Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence-Chapter 315 - 147: Enormous Postwar Gains
"We managed to capture 11 perfect-grade weapons, including the Lionheart Lance obtained by Knight Roland. Their majesty will inspire all who fight beside them and instill fear in their enemies. These brave knights are nearly immune to pain and fear, making them the most exquisite knights of our Griffin Knight Order."
"How many of such weapons? Show them to me," Su Li said, laughing happily.
Although Su Li was generous, allowing knights and free people to keep up to thirty percent of the battle spoils,
such powerful enchanted equipment undoubtedly needed to be handed over to Su Li to be stored in the armory.
Unless Su Li granted a particular weapon or armor to a knight, these powerful enchanted weapons and armors belonged to the knights.
So Hilude waved his hand, and two knights soon brought a lance and a shield into Su Li’s room.
Su Li raised an eyebrow, happily asking, "Is this shield also enchanted?"
Hilude nodded, saying, "That’s right, this is also a perfect-grade shield, imbued with the [Rune of Steadfastness] and [Shield Rune]."
[Rune of Steadfastness: A famous Dwarf rune, initially engraved on a shield as a gift to the lavish Dwarf Prince Gudi Double Boots. This shield was later stolen by a lone thief who followed the Dwarf Prince’s expedition. This rune makes the wearer harder than granite and more resistant to damage than steel.]
When this rune is activated, not only does the shield become extremely sturdy, nearly impossible to be shattered by arrows, but the wearer’s defense is significantly enhanced.
[Shield Rune: Crafted by Dwarves during the War of Vengeance, when the entire Dwarf Legion would carry the Shield Rune into battle to resist the arrows and magic bullets of the High Elves.]
A shield with these two runes is strong by itself, and when the effect of [Radiance of the Scorching Sun] is triggered, the shield shines with golden light, becoming a magic shield. After successfully blocking an attack, it converts physical damage into magical damage and reflects it back.
And the Lionheart Lance beside the shield shines with golden brilliance like the Fierce Sun Lion, illuminating the entire room to an almost blinding degree. If swung to strike the enemy, the refracted strong light might be enough to make one unable to open their eyes.
Its effect, as Hilude said, can boost morale, dispel fear, and in some sense, numerous such lances are nearly a Holy Artifact in themselves.
The Half-Lion Griffin Knights wield this shield with their left hand and hold the radiant lance with their right hand. Paired with their golden armor, they charge forward, illuminating the sun and moon, making opponents tremble just from their momentum.
The more Su Li thought about it, the more satisfied he became. While his face was wreathed in smiles, Hilude continued, "The gains don’t stop here. We also captured a significant amount of Centaur Beast armor, whose strong armor can forge at least 13-15 sets of Vibranium Rune Armor for us."
Su Li didn’t know where the energy came from, but he directly propped himself up on the bed, sat upright, and excitedly placed his hands on Hilude’s shoulders, asking ecstatically, "My treasure! Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?"
"Let me confirm once again! You said 13-15 sets of perfect-grade Vibranium Rune Armor! Not 3-5 sets of Vibranium Rune Armor!"
Hilude quickly stepped forward to support Su Li’s weak body, smiling while saying, "Lord, please don’t get too excited; restoring your primordial qi is most important. I didn’t make a mistake; it is indeed 13-15 sets of Vibranium Rune Armor."
Su Li only felt that upon hearing this good news, most of his fatigue disappeared.
Indeed, a big deal solves a thousand worries.
No need to worry about the primordial qi, with the fruit pods of the Holy Purple Vine, he’ll soon be lively and leaping.
But right now, these powerful Vibranium Rune Armors are what decide whether he can rest easy.
Only in such a tragic and bloody war can the great power of Vibranium Rune Armor be showcased to its fullest.
Was the human loss heavy in this battle?
Undoubtedly so; directly killed soldiers numbered up to four squadrons, with casualties exceeding a thousand.
Casualty rates were as high as 30%. Considering the formation depth, soldiers couldn’t all engage directly in combat, meaning those on the front lines were nearly all wounded, and the death rate at the foremost front exceeded 50%!
But in such a fierce battle, how many knights wearing Vibranium Rune Armor fell?
The answer is just 1! In the proportion of fallen knights, the rate is far below 1%. However, the number of knights with Vibranium Rune Armor reaches 23, accounting for nearly 3% among knights!
These knights are elite, converging on the fiercest battlefields.
Thus, it’s like in the mortal world, when tens of thousands of troops clash and, by the end of the war, scarcely one or two thousand elite armored warriors have fallen.
Under the protection of Vibranium Rune Armor, the most well-equipped knights can indeed reduce casualty rates to the lowest.
In this battle alone, we can gain 13-15 sets of Vibranium Rune Armor; adding on the three or four sets from the previous battle, the number of Vibranium Rune Armor in the territory will surpass 40 sets, doubling!
Su Li excitedly asked, "Forget about primordial qi, quickly tell me how we acquired so much Vibranium Rune Armor?"
