Chapter 287 Howie's Idea, the Skeleton King 【Subscription】

According to Zong Shen's previous statistics, some useful information can be analyzed.

Zombies and fang worms account for almost 95.2% of the total number of crypt monsters refreshed, the proportion of gargoyles is about 4%, and the ghost banshee is 0.8%.

Therefore, zombies and fang worms are the main force of the crypt, and they take the lead every time.

According to this ratio, the huge group of crypt monsters is actually not as terrifying as imagined.

After all, even the crypt zombies and fang worms whose strength has been increased to level 6 are only weak chickens.

However, with the cooperation of various monsters, there is absolutely no problem with these crypt monsters sweeping the general territory, just like the territory in front of them, in fact, the confrontation between the two has just begun.

Once the hundred and eighty gargoyles in the sky began to be dispatched, and the ghost banshees also began to use their control skills, it represented the official start of the battle.

As for now, it can only be regarded as a warm-up stage at best, and the cannon fodder is the first to open the way, but even so, the lord still looks like a big enemy.

The defense and layout of his territory are not bad, especially the ring-shaped moat with a width of about five meters, which has played a great role. With the attraction mechanism of hatred value, the main attack direction of the monster at this time is just a reservation. The entrance is about three meters wide.

The two sides of the entrance extend out for five or six meters, all of which are isolated by the horse and the trench. If the monsters want to attack, they can only enter from the front end of the entrance due to the setting of the hatred value.

This arrangement is similar to the passageway in the front line of Zongshen's Crypt that blocked the exit. It also uses the monster's aggro attraction mechanism to limit the terrain.

In this comparison, the three-fifty-nine class between the lords becomes more clear.

Zhang Zihao's territory cannot be compared with the guy in front of him.

If Zong Shen guarded this territory yesterday afternoon, it would be even easier to annihilate the tens of thousands of crypt monsters.

Zong Shen's side has just finished a night's rest, and his state is at its peak.

They cut and strangle the crypt monsters from behind the monsters like mowing grass.

The accompanying Howie has joined the territory since he was purchased by Zong Shen, but he has not sworn to surrender and cannot have the authority of the lord.

At this time, Howie stood beside the mages in the back row, looking at the huge group of crypt monsters in front of him in shock, watching Zong Shen take the lead in the charge, and led the soldiers into this place like a sharp knife. among the monsters.

Quantitative contrast and contrast can easily bring visual shock.

"This...there are so many undead monsters here."

"And some rare crypt creatures..."

"The army of the Kingdom of Alonwa just sits and does nothing?"

Howie was very shocked and puzzled. There were such large-scale undead monsters and crypt creatures in the kingdom's territory, and there was no kingdom army or local troops to clear them?

This happens occasionally in the continent. Except for the resting place of a few undead on the continent, and the crypt creatures living underground all year round, every few decades or hundreds of years, there will also be various places on the continent. Some dusty undead lairs appeared in the world, or inexplicable riots of crypt creatures.

However, those undead dens and crypt tribes were at most hundreds or thousands in size. After they ravaged a few villages, they would be wiped out by the kingdom's army and knights.

Crypt monsters of this size are extremely rare, and should have attracted the attention of the kingdom long ago.

Howie was confused. He didn't swear allegiance and no one told him about the crypt challenge. He didn't know many things about the territory.

But this did not prevent him from watching Zong Shen and the others fighting. He had seen the Bangcheng army of Gotti Castle fight against those rogues.

Most of the army at the first level of Bangcheng is composed of second-order warriors, with a small number of third-order warriors and single-digit fourth-order warriors.

Generally, a relatively peaceful and peaceful state city like Gotti Castle, which is located in the hinterland of the kingdom, usually has 300 to 500 state army troops stationed in it, which is enough to ensure the guard duty of the state city and the villages under its jurisdiction.

Larger state cities have some standing state army of seven or eight hundred, but very few state cities will have thousands of state army troops, of course, this does not include some special states located in border areas or adjacent to some alien races. city.

Most of those border state cities are strategic fortress cities, with state army troops of one thousand to three thousand ranks, and branches of the Kingdom Knights and major regional knights are active in the border area.

The more the army of the state city, the heavier the burden on the state city to which it belongs. Not counting the cost of training, the armament, salaries, food consumption, and material consumption of the state city army are not a small amount every month, all of which must be paid by the state city. Solve it yourself, the giant city will only provide some help when recruiting and training.

Howie has a deep understanding of this. Although Gotti Castle is comfortable, the armament expenditure is also not small. The annual share tax seems to be a lot, but one third needs to be used to meet the expenses of the state army, and another third One needs to repair and build the infrastructure inside and outside the state city, as well as the subordinate villages.

The remaining one-third is under the control of the Viscount, which is used for family expenses, as well as salaries for maids, housekeepers, and managers such as Howie.

In this way, there will be basically no balance in the income of the tenant tax.

However, this is not the entire income of the Viscount. As a Viscount, he also runs a textile factory, owns two caravans, and has a lot of cotton planted in the villages under his jurisdiction. cloth.

Then the two Gotti caravans bought some local products and cotton cloth and took them to the giant city of Wabel to sell them to make a certain profit, so Viscount Hector's net worth was still very rich.

Most of the state cities in the entire continent are hereditary territories after the distribution of nobles, and the last is a baron-level figure, such as Viscount Hector, who is still a relatively high title.

This is because the Hector family is also a big family in the Nord Kingdom. Viscount Hector's full name is Hector Kean. He is one of the children of the Hector family. The castle is a reward from the father's generation. In fact, the Hector family owns two giant cities and thirty-seven state cities in the Nord Kingdom.

Therefore, compared with Viscount Hector, Zong Shen is a real mud-legged person.

This kind of behavior of establishing a territory for one poor and two white is not without precedent, but it is much more difficult to develop, and it even takes a lifetime. Often, some people work hard for decades, and finally become the wedding dress of others.

At this time, Howie silently watched the battle ahead. So far, from the perspective of the current combat effectiveness, Zong Shen and the others are still very strong. With a team of dozens of people, they dared to fight against thousands of crypt monsters. issue a challenge.

In his opinion, even the kingdom's elite knights would not necessarily make such a risky act.

Beside Howie, the fire mage Parks was holding a staff and singing an ancient magic incantation. This incantation was very long, and it took ten seconds to sing it.

The ruby ​​on the top of his staff exudes red light, and not far ahead, a magic circle with a diameter of ten meters appears on the ground twenty or thirty meters deep into the monster group.

"Gudonggudong..."

The ground swelled, and bright red flame runes appeared, which finally formed the magic circle!

The place shrouded by the magic circle instantly rose up with flames more than ten meters high!

The raging flame was a very violent cluster flame, with a golden orange color as a whole. A few tens of meters away, a rolling heat wave could be felt in front of it. Judging by the color of the flame, the temperature was at least 1200 degrees Celsius.

The flame storm is worthy of its name, instantly burning the enemies within the range, and burning damage is constantly emerging from the top of the head, and there is a crypt hero hidden in this area!

From the perspective of the entire crypt monster group, this guy's position was at the back, which was the safest position. I didn't expect that someone from Zong was killed halfway, and he was stabbed in the eye.

And by coincidence, the location where Parks used Firestorm happened to be in the area where it was located.

After a few seconds, a figure covered in flames escaped from it.

It is tall and tall, and has been hiding in the monster group with hunched back in order to hide its figure.

Now that I was so burned by the flame storm, I couldn't care about hiding anymore, stood up straight, and left the range of the flame storm with a rolling and crawling.

It is more than two meters tall, wearing a set of skeleton battle armor, wearing a skeleton horn helmet, holding two pale-white bone swords, and its body is bathed in flames, and its head is continuously suffering from burning injuries.

The level of the Crypt Hero is not high, and Firestorm can cause extremely considerable damage to it.

At this time, Zong Shen and the others were attacking and killing on the other side, dozens of meters away from the position where the flame storm was emitting its power.

When Zong Shen found out that a hero had been forced out of the monster group, Zong Shen quickly patted Ba Jie's head, turned his direction, activated Blood Fang Clash, and rushed towards the crypt hero.

Just as he glanced at the past, the attributes of this crypt hero appeared in front of him.

【Bone Warlord (Hero)】

Passive Skill: Skeleton Transformation lv4 (every time the Skeleton King kills five enemies, he can automatically transform a skeleton warrior from one of the corpses. The strength of the skeleton warrior is related to the strength of killing the enemy in his lifetime. , killing undead or skeletal creatures will not activate this effect)]

(The genuine skeleton king is a real skeleton lord, capable of leading thousands of skeleton armies, especially the passive hero of skeleton transformation, which allows him to gradually grow his team during the expedition, but this re-enactment weakened version can be It's far away)

This is the fifth crypt hero after Wailing Lich, Crypt Lord, Death Knight, and Abyss Worm.

Skills are all related to skeletons, especially the passive skill, which is a must for the sea of ​​​​skeletons. The effect of the king's skills is probably even more tyrannical, that is, the well-deserved skeleton lord.

Zong Shen rode Bajie towards the Skeleton King. Before he came to it, the Skeleton King had extinguished the flames on his body, and turned around to hide in the monster group.

At this moment, a huge flame claw suddenly condensed and formed behind it. This flame claw grabbed the skeleton warrior who was about to escape into the monster group and forcibly dragged it out.

The flame was burning, causing lasting damage to it. This is not the end. The Lord of Flame grabbed the Skeleton War King and directly faced Zong Shen's direction, and threw it in the open space in front of him. It was a caring service. Goods to the door.

Then the flaming claw grabbed towards the monsters again, causing 15 burn damage wherever it touched.

Zong Shen saw that Flame Claw threw the Skeleton King in front of him, patted Bajie's head and applied an emergency brake, and stopped in front of the Skeleton King.

He turned over and slashed towards the Skeleton King with two large knives in hand.

"Boom!"

【-87】

【-81】

Zong Shen opened his bow from left to right, and two big knives slashed on the skeleton armor one after another, cutting the bone armor with two cracks. Under the armor, the body of the skeleton king is also a skeleton.

These two knives brought out two damage values ​​that were not low in damage.

Zong Shen doesn't use any buff skills now. With the damage bonus of 78 points of strength, as well as the bonus of many passive skills, his normal attacks are also very powerful, especially against such low levels, which have been weakened. The hero of the crypt is simply chopping melons and vegetables.

The double swords in the hands of the Skeleton War King also slashed towards Zong Shen. One of the swords slammed into the big sword in Zong Shen's left hand, making a colliding sound of gold and iron, and the other directly hit his shoulder.

【-25】

The bone sword pulled a spark on his shoulder, leaving a not too deep gap in the armor of the violent bear, and at the same time causing a faint pain in Zong Shen's shoulder.

Zong Shen's upper body armor value is as high as 55 points, and the skeleton warrior cannot cause much damage to him.

However, this sword reduced the durability of Zong Shen's [Teroka Storm Bear Armor (Purple)] by more than ten points, which made Zong Shen feel a little distressed!

Zong Shen took two steps back, opened some distance, and crossed his knives in front of him.

When he turned his head and saw the gap on the shoulder of the armor, his heart ached!
