Chapter 433 The Characteristics of the Challenge, Rhodok Crossbowmen 【Subscription】

Zong Shen was busy preparing for the expedition in the snow.

It can be seen that he attaches great importance to this action!

In the second phase of the 48-hour winter.

In total, only 10,000 Winter Snow Monsters will be refreshed.

These snow monsters are difficult challenges for ordinary lords.

But for Zong Shen, it was a baby bump.

They are the only means in the second stage other than the basic survival points that can widen the point gap.

If you have the ability, if you kill one, you will earn one.

If you kill ten heads, you will directly gain 10,000 points at this stage.

According to the experience of the previous round of challenges, getting more points during the challenge period is beneficial but not harmful.

Those points can not only be exchanged for all kinds of fancy things in redemption.

In the end, as long as you can lead, there may be other benefits.

The lord system has always been keen to keep lords in an in-roll competition.

In the absence of other clear competitive activities, Zongshen will work hard to ensure that he can become the lord with the most points among the lords.

At least become the lord with the most points in the area.

This time, due to the particularity of the challenge, the difficulty of obtaining points is also different from the previous round of challenges.

Because there are guaranteed survival points, the bottom lords can effectively benefit.

It is not difficult to ensure the basic survival, and the biggest threat is only the Winter Snow Monster.

But the number of these snow monsters is not too large, and they do not have the habit of holding together.

Ten thousand snow monsters were scattered over an area of ​​40,000 square kilometers for two days.

After being spread evenly on each lord, the pressure to deal with is not too great.

After the first round of challenges, there are defensive arrow towers in all lords' territories.

It's just the difference in quantity and level.

As long as they stay in the territory obediently and rely on the defensive buildings in the territory, they can still defeat the Winter Snow Monster after paying a certain amount of casualties.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some unfortunate people will be patronized by the Winter Snow Monsters one after another.

No one can say for sure.

Zong Shen is not a savior, and he has no problem considering the casualty rate of the lords in this round of challenges.

In short, there are only two endings for each round of challenges.

These two situations correspond to all lords, including Zong Shen himself.

That is: death - complete end, survival - getting stronger and stronger.

As long as you can survive the challenge, you will definitely become stronger.

The difference is that everyone gets stronger.

Zong Shen has summed up the characteristics of the four lord system setting challenges.

Rule 1: You get what you pay for.

Rule 2: High risk comes with high reward, and vice versa.

Rule 3: When your thinking and ability can subvert the status quo, you will be rewarded.

Rule 4: Challenge is a grind, not a slaughter.

In addition to these four, there are also variable conditions among the lords.

This variable is everyone's luck.

African chiefs may face black to death, and European emperors may lie down and win to the end.

Luck is something illusory from the perspective of fantasy.

But in fact, luck is the result of the superposition of multiple events.

In theory, if all events and subsequent changes can be known, luck can be predicted.

At the same time, this thing is not irreversible.

In the final analysis, it was just a chance encounter with necessity.

Zong Shen sees this very thoroughly. As a hang-up, he can look at the lord system calmly.

And gradually analyze the essential motivation from it.

After all, taking off with the wind is definitely more comfortable than going up against the wind.

Only by understanding the original intention of the lord system can we accurately take off against the wind.

Zong Shen held the [Feng Huo Lei Trident] with one hand while thinking about things.

Those soldiers remained on standby.

Because of the increasing snow, everyone's fur coats were gradually covered with a layer of snowflakes.

The soldiers wore all-color [double-sided sheepskin warm clothing]. As Bosband's military supplies warm quilt, it was still very thick.

Compared with the general [sewn sheepskin jacket], this winter clothing is made of double sheepskin material, which has a strong cold protection effect and can effectively ensure that the body temperature will not be quickly lost.

This grade of cold-proof clothing plus the physique and attributes of the soldiers themselves are far superior to that of ordinary farmers.

Even in this cold environment of minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius, everyone can still have a good fighting condition.

Of course, the cold is not completely unaffected. Under the severe cold, everyone's blood circulation and metabolism become slower, and the limbs will be stiffer than usual.

After strenuous exercise, it is difficult to even take a deep breath. The extremely cold air will irritate the trachea and lungs. In order to maintain body temperature, it is necessary to exercise continuously as much as possible.

Warm clothing does not completely prevent the conduction and loss of heat.

It is also wrong to stand still like now.

They must fully activate their body cells.

Start to consume the energy stored in your body and continue to generate heat for your body.

It has been ten minutes since it stood up.

Some of the fighters' legs and feet started to go numb.

Although the trunk is the place with the largest exposure area, as the distal end of the blood vessels, the weakening of blood circulation will bear the brunt of the impact on the limbs, especially the legs.

Zong Shen also saw this, and waved out a [Magic Heat Ball].

After the charge is activated, drop it in the middle of the queue.

The heat radiates evenly from the inside out, forming an invisible force field.

Affected by the ice, this force field only covers more than 20 square meters.

But it was enough to cover all the dozens of soldiers waiting in the central area.

"You don't have to be so serious."

"Move your muscles and bones in place."

"Otherwise some of you will have their toes frozen."

Zong Shen, who came back to his senses, immediately reminded the soldiers in a half-joking tone.

Since the end of the Odo Village incident, there have been no large-scale expeditions in the territory for several days, which makes all the warriors look forward to it.

Therefore, after the assembly again, the atmosphere at the scene was a little serious and tense.

The recruitment of points in the last round of challenges has brought a lot of fresh blood to the territory.

These new warriors desperately need a fight to quickly integrate into the territory.

Fighting is the best way for warriors to express their worth.

After so many days of leisure, everyone is gearing up.

In fact, Zong Shen is also like this. Sitting for too long will only make the sword rust.

Only fighting can drive him to become stronger quickly.

Before Luna, who set off first, returned, Colby, who set off later, returned to the outside of the courtyard faster.

He took the forging results of the dwarf uncle during this period of time, a total of 37 sets of non-slip ground thorns.

The ground thorns originally planned for riding beasts have been completely cancelled.

As it turns out, those claws-riddled beasts don't need such a thing at all.

On the contrary, those war horses are more embarrassing, whether they are grassland horses or Andalusian war horses.

The iron hooves of a heavy warhorse are too small for frictionless friction on thick ice.

The relatively slender limbs make it more difficult to move.

Even these war horses and riding beasts are "four-wheel drive".

But there is no natural "snow tire", nor a more stable low-slung "chassis".

This is the fundamental reason why the knights in the northern iceland kingdom did not use war horses as riding beasts.

"Colby, distribute these anti-slip spikes to all fighters."

Zong Shen casually ordered that his strategy was guerrilla warfare.

Load long-range soldiers in a heavy-bearer mech, and patrol the battle by maneuvering.

Therefore, long-range fighters do not need to be allocated ground thorns.

It is enough to distribute to infantry fighters such as dragons, spears, shields, and warriors.

The shape of these ground thorns is a little rough and rough, and it looks like something that was urgently produced.

In fact, these anti-slip floor thorns are indeed work in a hurry, but the quality is still very good.

In Zong Shen's perspective, they belong to the common props of the whiteboard level.

【Rough snow chains (white)】

[Quality: Ordinary Grade]

[Durability: 150]

[Effect: Reduced movement speed by 35% and increased anti-slip ability by 50%]

(Uncle Dwarf's rush work, although crude but not cutting corners)

These anti-slip spikes are called snow chain spikes in the system prompt.

It has 150 durability in its new condition now unused and worn.

This durability value is basically the standard value of white-grade equipment or items.

In normal use, it is more than enough to meet the travel needs of the Winter Challenge these days.

Zong Shen carefully looked at the snow chain thorns in his hands.

In fact this little thing proves one more thing.

That is the self-designed item, after adjustment by the dwarf uncle.

As long as certain requirements are met, items recognized by the system can be manufactured.

The effect of snow chains has been systematically certified, which is a very solid guarantee.

"rumble…"

Just as Zong Shen was studying these new anti-skid thorn chains, the driving sound of the load-bearing mecha tracks came from the east.

After waiting for nearly twenty minutes, Luna finally came back.

According to Zong Shen's request, she brought back twenty long-range warriors and four water mages.

Plus the two sisters Vereesa and Madeleine in the territory.

Zong Shen's arrangement almost mobilized all the bow and crossbow warriors in the territory.

Among them, there are twelve second-order Rhodok crossbowmen, six second-order Avalon light crossbowmen, and four third-order Avalon dragonborn rangers.

Those Rhodok crossbowmen are basically the most cost-effective long-range arms among Tier 2 bowmen.

This is because the Rhodok Kingdom has the strongest bowmen of the same rank in the entire continental human kingdom.

Most of the territory of the Rhodok Kingdom is surrounded by mountains.

Therefore, most of the state cities and giant cities under its jurisdiction are mountain fortress cities.

In the perennial struggle against beasts, beasts and alien races, even seven or eight-year-old children in the Rhodok Kingdom also mastered some skills of strong crossbow or strong bow.

This is a national craze and habit that has lasted for thousands of years.

Because of this, Rhodok's bowmen can basically beat bowmen of the same rank in other kingdoms.

This is true whether it is a second-order ordinary crossbowman, a fifth-order steel thorn crossbowman, or a sixth-order Rhodok marksman.

In addition, the infantry of the Rhodok kingdom can also be ranked among the top of all ethnic kingdoms.

It was just covered up by the bowman.

The fourth-tier sergeant Rhodok is the ace in the defense and positional warfare.

In terms of hand-to-hand combat ability, it is second only to the infantry of the Nord Kingdom.

Those Rhodok sergeants were armed with heavy shields and military chain hammers and machetes.

Excellent shield water resistance can take advantage of hand-to-hand combat.

You can also buy time for your own shooters to attack.

Of course, if there are advantages, there must be disadvantages.

As a mountain kingdom, the Rhodoks only hold a few knights in the northern regions.

Their national knights can only be ranked at the bottom of the human knights.

However, the Rhodok Kingdom had no interest in developing the Knights at all.

In front of the mountain fortress, any knight group will be eclipsed, and even the best riding beasts cannot smoothly charge the fortress in the mountains.

As for air riding, it is even more fearless.

Ranged warriors are able to shoot them into sieves.

From the founding of the Rhodok Kingdom to the present, it is enough to only consider the battle of positional warfare and fortress defense.

Therefore, their arms advantage is also inclined to defensive warfare.

In fact, almost every human kingdom has its own one or several types of arms that have advantages over the same period of time.

These superior units are related to the war experience of each kingdom, the region in which the kingdom is located, historical traditions and customs.

The soldiers all stood on the open cargo hold of the Weight Bearer.

Zong Shen glanced at the Rhodok crossbowmen, ready to check their specific attributes.

At the time of the redemption, the strategy system was in a slumber, so at that time Zong Shen was not able to check the attributes and characteristics of these crossbowmen in detail.

This time, just take advantage of the fact that before the expedition, I will know about it, so that I can be aware of it.

These Rhodok crossbowmen all wore brown leather caps. Zong Shen casually picked a guy with a full face and a beard who seemed to be more recognizable, and looked at it intently.
