Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 487 - 448 Defender Army
At this moment, in the guild hall.
Kane sat beside the table and chairs, with six silver magic stones in his hand.
However, in the opened [Book of Adventure], the + in the guild section was highlighted once again.
Needless to say, it was surely because Kane had done an upgrade on the enhancement, and the newly unlocked expansion section.
After clicking in, there was only one new expansion section.
[Enhancement - Deadly Strike]
To unlock the new enhancement effect, it only required spending one silver magic stone.
The effect was to give guild members a 10% chance to trigger a deadly strike, known as a critical hit, causing 150% damage.
It was considered an improvement, and this improvement was also useful for Kane and his group.
Spending one silver magic stone was indeed worthwhile.
Kane spent it directly.
He saw this enhancement effect light up in the enhancement section.
A warm stream was emitted slightly from the spot of the seal on his body, but there wasn’t any distinct special feeling.
This enhancement effect could also be upgraded, but the next stage required three silver magic stones, raising the chance to 20%.
In the end, only five magic stones remained.
And there were still many expansion sections that needed unlocking.
But for the current stage, most of them weren’t very useful.
Even the most important one, concerning the four major attributes of magic stone production.
The most important thing at present was to enhance the strength of guild members, namely the strength of those soldiers, so they could have a greater advantage in the dungeon.
The rift in the sky was getting larger, and more small voids were appearing in the sky.
Every day, one could see red light spots drifting out from the rift and voids, indicating that the enemy’s strength was increasing daily.
But due to the need to expand the force step by step, Kane and his group didn’t have a better method and could only proceed one step at a time.
So the newly joined Spirits of Freedom also needed a strength boost to help them better conquer dungeons and protect their own lives.
In such special circumstances now, death meant true death, no room for carelessness.
Kane carefully scrutinized these expansion sections.
Finally, he found that the only way to quickly increase the soldiers’ strength in the current situation was through the [Defender Army].
Because this section was specifically tailored to those soldiers who became Spirits of Freedom.
If they didn’t make a trip to the dungeon, this section could possibly never be unlocked in a lifetime.
Moreover, the cost was exactly the remaining five silver magic stones.
No need for words; since the decision was made, he would unlock it directly.
A new section appeared below the guild.
Kane clicked into it directly.
The entire style of the Defender Army’s page was different from the other sections.
It exuded a mysterious iron-blooded aura.
Firstly, the name of the Defender Army was directly set as the Lantern Knight Order.
From the name, it was clear it was customized for their guild.
First was the number of positions in the knight order and the qualifications to join.
The qualifications to join were very simple; they only needed to remain loyal and pledge allegiance to either the guild or the president.
However, there was a very strict regulation: after joining the knight order, one could not leave the guild unless by death or willingly becoming an ordinary person.
Moreover, such information would be prompted in the minds of joiners when they joined, and if any joiner was coerced or unwilling, the joining would fail.
The number in this knight order was unlimited; all guild members joining could receive equipment and skills matched according to their profession.
There were many matching suit options available, none of which were considered top-tier equipment, but they were flawlessly matched.
In the outside world, it could be considered a standard set of explorer equipment.
This equipment, according to its characteristics, was roughly divided into melee, ranged, and magic. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
For example, knight equipment included various melee knight gear, ranged knight gear, and magic knight equipment for using magic.
Skills from the knight order were also bestowed according to the professional match of guild members joining.
It seemed more like a career transition than a special military type.
It provided a channel for strength increase for guild members without good qualifications.
Also, it was a benefit for guild members willing to join the Defender Army, as they were dedicating themselves to the guild.
Kane directly assigned all the Soldiers of Freedom who joined the guild into the Defender Army.
The Soldiers of Freedom who were training and patrolling outside received information from the guild seal marked on their bodies.
They received information in their minds asking if they were willing to join the guild’s Defender Army, along with various prompts and explanations.
They agreed without hesitation.
Kane saw that a flood of information lists instantly surged into the Defender Army section.
The situation wasn’t limited to just this; an anomaly also appeared in the guild hall where he was located.
A spiral portal appeared on a wall.
Kane swiftly checked the information about the guild hall; strangely enough, the guild hall had expanded with more space.
This space was named the Defender Army Residence.
The linked place is the Guild Hall.
Seeing the situation, Kane pondered for a moment, so the Guild Hall would add more areas based on unlocked sections?
And what he never expected was that this kind of space at the Defender Army base would be given to him for free.
According to the Guild system’s style, not spending money makes him uneasy about using it.
However, Kane also saw that there were strict requirements to enter this space.
One must be a member of the Defender Army to enter, and Kane was automatically listed in the Defender Army.
"Kane, is this something new you’ve figured out?" Longbei and the others appeared by the doorway asking.
Kane walked over and nodded, saying, "Consider it the soldiers’ base, but none of you can enter. Only those soldiers and I can enter; it’s probably this space’s strict requirement."
This exchange brought sighs of regret from Longbei and the others.
Kane replaced the doorway with a double wooden door.
Then he pushed the door open and went inside.
This space was dozens of times larger than the neighboring Guild Hall.
And it expands based on the number of Defender Army members, without any cost from Kane.
This space is like a flatland, with stone houses, stables, and a training ground on it.
Especially, the training ground is extremely vast, and its facilities are very comprehensive.
This space requires almost no expense from Kane, directly reaching completion in one step.
The most conspicuous spot is a church-like building.
All Defender Army members need to enter it to obtain different skills based on compatibility.
And the largest building in this space is the equipment storage.
Kane walked in and observed around; it contained various equipment for the Defender Army to choose from.
And just as Kane thought, there were two different hues: Copper and Silver.
The attributes are almost at an average level for the current grade, very mediocre.
But they are all free.
Then at the center of the whole space is a lamp-like sculpture.
The flame position in the center of the sculpture is still emitting light.
And this is the core of the entire space.
Kane needs to spend Magic Stones to be invested in the center of the sculpture to maintain various consumptions of the space.
Including the bestowal of Defender Army skills, repair and creation of equipment.
Of course, the expenses aren’t too extreme and can be replaced with various colored Magic Stones.
This is what Kane likes the most.
He directly took out 50 Copper Magic Stones and invested them first, enough to last Kane for a long time.
Kane went beside a Bronze Bell and tapped it a bit.
The crisp ringing sound began to appear in the space, then spread outside the space.
Figures appeared in the Knight Residence.
Shortly after, all Spirits of Freedom drawn into the Defender Army by Kane appeared in the Knight Residence.
This Bronze Bell is like a gathering command, allowing all Defender Army members to hear it no matter where they are.
Looking at the slightly bewildered soldiers.
"Abby, Mark, come over here."
Kane first called the leaders of these soldiers over.
"Sir!"
The two came to Kane, immediately stood at attention, and saluted.
Kane nodded, then promoted the two into the sole Commander and Deputy Commander of the Defender Army.
These are so far the only two positions in the Defender Army.
More positions would appear when more people join, having no special attribute bonuses, only some rights concerning the Knight Residence.
Equivalent to helping Kane manage the Defender Army.
Especially the Commander’s position, in the Defender Army, is equivalent to the Guild’s Vice President.
It isn’t merely comparable, but rather because other Guild members have no right to intervene with the Defender Army except the President.
This limitation, even Kane, cannot modify its rights.
What he can change is the various powers within these positions in the Knight Order, equivalent to an internal reform.
After promoting Abby and Mark to Commander and Deputy Commander, the usage and functions of the various buildings in the Knight Residence appeared in their minds.
Kane patted the shoulders of the two, saying, "I’ll leave the rest to you. Don’t let me down."
After receiving their affirmative responses, Kane pushed open the distant wooden door and returned to the Guild Hall.
With the reinforcement of the Defender Army, the Spirits of Freedom soldiers he’s wielding finally had the ability to protect themselves.
It also alleviated the concerns in his heart.
Not far away, Lilulu and Longbei saw Kane returning and immediately approached, inquiring about the Knight Residence.
Since they couldn’t enter, they were incredibly curious about that space.
The unknown is the most interesting thing.
