Chapter 329 Howie Surrenders, the Fourth Heroic Talent 【Subscription】

As for strength and health, it is normal for Tier 4 Immortal Lancers to be slightly inferior.

After all, the Andalusian war horse is nearly a meter shorter than the Sharma, and the Immortal Knight is also shorter than the Heretic Giant Knight.

But this in no way prevents the Immortal Lancers from piercing their chests with their heavy lances!

After all, the heretical giant knight is actually not a pure lancer, but a type of heavy cavalry. In addition to the two-meter quasi-cavalry lance, it is a two-handed sword, and has an infantry mode. Dismounted to fight, and the combat power when dismounted is still not low.

The Immortal Lancers are pure Lancers. The main attack method is the lance charge, and the secondary weapon is the shield and sword configuration. Although they are wearing heavy armor, their combat effectiveness will drop sharply after they are separated from their mounts.

It is suitable for strangling a large-scale infantry enemy in the plain area, which is easy to be restricted by terrain, as well as the restraint of various melee spearmen and spear and shield soldiers against cavalry.

In general, the two types of cavalry have their own characteristics. The heretic giant knight belongs to the panacea type of heavy cavalry, while the immortal lancer has a much clearer positioning, with obvious advantages and obvious disadvantages.

It's like a war sword. How the commander uses it is very important. If you use it well, you will show your sharpness.

But for Zong Shen, the emergence of Tier 4 Immortal Lancers can just make up for the shortcoming of territorial combat power to a certain extent.

That is, when dealing with large-scale enemies, it is impossible to quickly divide and attack the enemy's clusters.

This was the point that Zong Shen felt the most when dealing with monsters in the crypt. The wolf cavalry belonged to light cavalry and were equipped with sabres.

When dealing with a group of infantry, the biggest trouble is actually not being able to divide the enemy and destroy the enemy's group advantage.

During the crypt challenge, Zong Shen could still use his demonic deterrence to destroy the enemy's group. If there could be a team of heavy-armed lancers looking at him at that time, the efficiency of killing crypt monsters could be improved by several percent.

Now in Zongshen's team, there are light cavalry, spear and shield infantry, mages and archers of various departments, and heavy lancers.

The general frame has been gradually formed. What Zong Shen needs to do next is to gradually fill the frame to form the number and scale.

From an individual to a squad, from a squad to a squadron or even a legion.

These Immortal Lancers consciously rode their horses to the rear of the queue, lining up behind the wolf cavalry.

Now Zong Shen only has one [Second-Order Wolf Cavalry Recruitment Scroll] left, which he got in the point lottery, and he just recruited it and let Colby lead it into the wolf cavalry sequence. Here, there are just thirty-six wolf cavalrymen, so that three full squads can be formed.

After all the recruitments were completed, there were now 65 farmers and 129 warriors in Zongshen's territory, and the rest of the staff remained unchanged.

Just when Zong Shen was about to re-plan his territorial control, Howie, who was standing beside the dwarf uncle, suddenly walked out of the queue and knelt down on one knee in front of Zong Shen.

"My lord, after getting along for the past few days, I think you are a powerful and wise lord."

"Living in your territory gives me an urge to give and create, where I see hope for the future and a great cause."

"It's a feeling I've never had before."

"I beg you to release my slave status and let me serve you."

"I also want to create this miracle with you and everyone!"

Howie knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and looked at Zong Shen's toes, a gesture of surrender.

【The heroic talent Howie expresses his surrender to you】

【Accept】【Reject】

A line of systematic subtitles appeared in front of Zong Shen, asking him to make a choice.

The appearance of this choice means that Howie really intends to surrender to him, completely let go of his heart, and wants to join Zong Shen's command.

Facing Howie's surrender request, there was nothing to tangle, so he directly chose [Accept].

With the territorial system and loyalty as a guarantee, Zong Shen is not afraid of Howie's disagreement at all.

"Get up, I have already felt your sincerity.

"I agree to your request. Starting today, you will get rid of your slave status and become an official citizen of the territory. This will be your home in the future."

"I know you are an excellent talent, so I will have some tasks for you."

Zong Shen chose to accept and responded at the same time.

Hearing this, Howie raised his head and looked up at Zong Shen, with a happy expression on his face.

The moment Zong Shen accepted him, a lot of information poured into his head, letting him know many secrets that he had not been exposed to before.

It also made the fire of hope in his heart burn brightly.

As a hero-level talent under the lord, you will naturally know something about the lord, which is definitely a novelty for Howie.

It even made his heart, which was increasingly dusty due to more than ten years of boring work in Gotti Castle, began to glow with new vitality.

"Thank you sir for giving me this opportunity."

"Howie will never betray the trust of adults!"

"From now on, this is my home, the place I will defend with my life!"

Howie said impassively, after all, he is an old fritter with relatively extensive knowledge and experience. He speaks nicely, no matter how sincere he is. After entering the pit under the lord's command, Zong Shen has the initiative. hand.

"Very well, you can also go back to the queue, there is a space next to Dutra."

Zong Shen pointed to Dutra, the kobold chief who was standing beside Mariel with his head held high, indicating that Howie could stand beside it.

The location of Dutra Station is relatively close to the edge, and there are 258 kobolds lined up in the open space on the side. It is estimated that this number will increase in the near future, because when the kobold tribe came with their clan, they also brought a large number of kobolds with them. egg.

Zongshen asked Howie to stand beside Dutra, and the intention is self-evident. First of all, it was to avoid suspicion. In fact, it was also to explain that although Zongshen accepted Howie, he would not let him enter the core of the territory immediately. Floor.

Howie was a very smart guy, he knew what he knew, obediently saluted Zong Shen and resigned, walked to Dutra's side, and bowed slightly to say hello to the kobold chief Dutra.

The etiquette is basically impeccable. Howie's performance was seen by another slave, young Quat. Among the slaves bought by Zong Shen, he was still a slave, and he wore it every day. Working with the kobolds in chains.

If you are a little lazy, or show dissatisfaction and negative emotions, you will be intimidated by kobolds. Although kobolds are not tall, they are covered in scales once they bark their teeth and grin. It still has a great deterrent effect.

Now in the territory, he is the one who has the least sense of existence.

At this time, seeing Howie and Alana's situation, he also moved intentionally, his legs trembled unconsciously, and he wanted to move forward.

At this time, the kobold prophet beside him noticed his change and felt that he had affected the beauty of the kobold queue, and directly tapped his shin with the staff in his hand.

"Stand...stand!"

"No...don't move!"

The kobold prophet stumbled and whispered to Quat.

Every kobold does his best to stand upright and tidy, and never lose face in front of the lord, because during these days, Zong Shen has indeed fulfilled his promise, treating the kobolds equally, having the same food ration and the same dwellings Take a break.

Of course, due to many reasons such as living habits, ethnic differences, language barriers, etc., it is still difficult for kobolds to urinate in the same pot with other residents in the territory.

Anyway, everyone usually performs their own duties, and fights when they need to work and fight. Everyone is actually the same, and they are all contributing to the development of the territory. Therefore, no kobold will feel that he has become a Slaves, on the contrary, in Zong Shen's territory, they have a sense of security being sheltered.

Therefore, during this period of time, the loyalty of basically all kobolds to Zong Shen has increased to more than 85 points, and Zong Shen has also fulfilled his original promise with actions these days.

Poor Quat was taught such a lesson by the kobold prophet, and the courage to ask Zongshen that had finally arisen in his heart was extinguished again, and he could only continue to stand in the queue of kobolds timidly.

At this time, Zong Shen didn't have time to talk to Quat at all. He was busy checking Howie's attributes.

In addition, Zong Shen can also re-plan the heroic rule in the territory before he selects his troops to go out to Odo Village. It is Howey. There are now four heroes in the territory. Among them, the kobold chief Dutra is special. It is more suitable for ruling over kobolds, not for ruling over humans.

He casually looked at Howie, who was standing upright, and his attributes emerged in front of him.

[Hero: Howie (Blue)]

[Qualification: Excellent]

【Age: 35】

【Race: Human】

[Level: lv14]

[Experience value: 1371/7275]

[HP: 225]

[Number of rulers: 0/91]

【Strength: 12】

[Agility: 16]

【Intelligence: 27】

【Charm: 21】

[Remaining assignable attribute points: 0]

[Remaining assignable skill points: 0]

[Remaining assignable weapon proficiency: 0]

[Detailed properties: (click to expand)]

[Weapon Proficiency: (click to expand)]

[Hero Skills: (click to expand)]

[Lord-level passive skills: (click to expand)]

[Loyalty: 80]

This attribute panel is much higher than Mariel when she first joined the territory.

Especially in the two attributes of intelligence and charm, he is also a hero-level talent with an intellect and charm bias.

Good for internal affairs and logistics, not for fighting hero.

But it just meets the current needs of Zongshen territory.

A huge territory must be composed of many heroic talents.

Among them, the logistics talents are the most in demand. They are like nodes, forming a huge control network for the entire territory.

Just like the village chiefs, town chiefs, and county chiefs in the earth, go up level by level, forming lines with points, planes with lines, and a complete three-dimensional territorial structure matrix with planes.

Even after that, big heroes can rule the little heroes. As for the source of hero-level talents, Zong Shen is not worried, and the ancient heroes who are recruited will not be mentioned for the time being.

The aboriginal forces alone already have a complete system, and there will be no shortage of hero-level talents among them. In addition, hero-level talents are not fixed, and new hero-level talents will continue to emerge with their knowledge and experience.

Of course, it must be mentioned here. Although there will never be a shortage of hero-level talents in this world, it still takes some effort and luck to find heroes with good talent.

Although there is still a big gap in abilities between heroes with high talent and heroes with low talent, heroes with low talent are also heroes after all. Basically, most of the lords will gradually have their own hero-level talents.

It will not make the territory unable to develop due to the limitation of the dominance value, because the domination structure is not only determined by the lord himself. With such a heroic domination system, in theory, as long as enough hero-level talents are mastered, it is even a domination of one. The kingdom is fine.

In the pyramid-like structure that goes up step by step, the lord only needs to be the one on the top of the tower.

Zong Shen thought for a while and turned on Howie's [Heroic Skill]. There are generally talents and abilities of heroes here, hoping to bring him some surprises.

[Passive Skill: Trade Algorithm (can get a 5% price advantage in trade)

Cold personality (cold personality, only eager for honor and sense of achievement, 10% reduction in territorial material consumption)]

From [Hero Skills], it can be seen that Howie's talents lie in trade, domination, and material management.

It can reduce the material consumption of the territory and gain an additional 5% price advantage in foreign trade.

Don't underestimate the 5%. Once the territory forms a caravan or a trade zone in the future, forming a large and stable trading system, the benefits brought by the 5% price advantage will be incredible.

After having a more specific understanding of Howie's positioning in his heart, Zong Shen turned on the [Lord-level passive skills], strength, agility, and intelligence. and [Trade] are both level 7.

After looking at Howie's attributes, Zong Shen closed his list of attributes with a thought.

As the fourth hero-level talent in the territory, Howie is just in charge of managing the entry and exit of materials in the territory, including daily tasks such as [market] listing.

And Howie's level has reached lv14, so he can take up his post, and it will not be too late to take him to level up when there is a chance in the future.
