Chapter 962, the Secret to Unlocking the Hero's Power Is Actually!

"attack!"

"Kill the invaders!"

Outside the castle.

The frogmen climbed out of the swamp and approached slowly, brandishing poisoned bows and arrows.

In the swamp, frogmen are the original inhabitants.

But the Alpha Kingdom has too many people.

To feed the new population.

The kingdom encourages foreign exploration.

Whether they are civilians, mercenaries, merchants or wandering knights.

As long as they are willing to go to the frontier, the kingdom will never be stingy in developing knight titles.

But other than that, there was no support from the kingdom.

At the border, if you don’t have enough force, you are seeking death.

Basically, it is the wandering knights who are exploring the outside world.

But even so, the death rate of wandering knights on the border is astonishing.

And once the Pioneer Knights stabilize.

The kingdom will push its borders further outward.

The original Frogman Swamp was ten times larger than it is now.

But now, it has shrunk nine times.

Only three of the once powerful frogman tribes remained.

The frogmen had already left the orc kingdom and were committed to living in peace.

He had to pick up the sword and fight to defend his homeland.

Only then did the current territory remain.

Before Fang Yuan arrived.

In this small pioneer knight castle, no fewer than ten pioneer knights have died.

The frogmen believe that the new arrival will soon be killed by them.

No one can take away their territory.

Under the castle, the frogman archers began to bend their bows.

Behind the archers, frogman spearmen armed with spears appeared for the first time.

After the first ten days of tentative attacks.

After confirming that almost all the defenders in the castle had been killed.

The commander of the frogmen decided to kill the new pioneer knight today.

Destroy that shabby wooden castle!

"attack!"

After the frogman archers fired a volley.

I saw arrows nailed to the wooden fence, but no human beings resisted.

The frogman commander judged that there were no more resisting soldiers inside.

Decisively ordered a full-scale attack.

The frogman infantry jumped out.

A special spear coupled with the jumping ability of a frogman.

They could actually hold their spears and fly directly over the city wall.

The previous pioneer knight was killed by the frogman's move.

But this time!

When the frogman propped up his bamboo pole and jumped up.

Within the city walls.

A hail of arrows flew out fiercely.

Each arrow penetrated the frogman infantry's head with incomparable accuracy.

The frogman who just made a "croak" sound.

The screams stopped abruptly.

Directly shot through by a bow and arrow.

The body is hung on the spear, swinging back and forth with the spear shaft in mid-air.

The sudden attack surprised the frogman commander outside the city.

The sudden death of the frogman infantry made him extremely heartbroken.

These are elite warriors who are carefully trained and have rich combat experience.

Actually!

Just die?

And when he was stunned.

Inside the wooden castle.

One by one, the pointed-eared elves jumped up.

Jumping out of the city wall, the bow and arrow in his hand kept making "crackling" sounds.

The arrow shot through the air and nailed the frogman outside the city to the ground.

The frogman commander saw this.

There was a strange cry of "gugua".

Immediately, he spit out a burst of black mist, covering his back.

Then he turned and ran away.

Because of the obstruction of the black mist, no hero could stop the frogman for a while.

"We can't let him get away."

Fang Yuan looked at Christian beside him.

"Can you stop me?"

Christian nodded calmly.

"You can force the unicorn teleportation on."

“But then the unicorn recovery time is long.”

Just when Fang Yuan was about to order to use it.

Qingfeng beside him said.

"Your Mightiness."

"I come!"

The words fell.

Qingfeng's figure disappeared.

In the distance, the fleeing frogman commander was glad that he had mastered the power of the magic crystal.

Able to use skills to escape.

otherwise!

These powerful shooters really can't escape.

And just when the frogman commander was rejoicing.

A figure walked out of the shadows.

A slight stroke of the sharp dagger.

The frogman commander's head fell off.

At the same time, Qingfeng's figure appeared.

"Damn it!"

Qingfeng, who emerged from the shadows, cursed secretly.

This secret realm not only makes the magical weapons on the body ineffective.

It also greatly weakened the power of shadow that it controlled.

Originally shuttled in the shadows to assassinate.

You can travel infinitely without being discovered.

Now you can only travel once.

And you will fall into a short period of weakness after traveling.

Not only was it unable to continue traveling, but its own strength was also greatly weakened.

now.

The leader of the frogmen who was killed found Qingfeng who had fallen into a temporary weakness.

Immediately screamed and shouted.

"He killed Anuja!"

"revenge."

"Avenge him!"

One by one, the frogmen who had been retreating picked up their weapons and surrounded Qingfeng.

At this moment, a loud shout came from the distance.

"Get away!"

Christian jumped on the unicorn.

It landed accurately in front of Qingfeng.

At the same time, the battle sword transformed from the light elf swept past.

The violent force cut all the frogmen it touched into two pieces.

Originally, this move had more than this power.

Not to mention a dozen frogmen, even hundreds of golden heavy armored infantry can be killed instantly.

But now it has been weakened.

The power is simply unbearable to look at.

But even so, Christian is the most powerful among the awakened heroes.

behind.

Brainy and Aria also followed, riding on war horses.

But they don't have unicorns, and their war horses have been weakened and become ordinary.

It took several minutes to reach this distance.

Fortunately, the two of them are knights themselves, and their fighting power does not depend on skills. Their physical strength alone is also extremely powerful.

He quickly rushed to Christian's side.

The three heroes worked together to block the frogman army that was about to escape from behind.

At this time the elven archers also arrived.

The two sides worked together to make dumplings for the retreating frogmen.

They were all killed outside the castle.

On wooden castle.

Fang Yuan saw what happened below.

He didn't expect that his heroes and legions would be suppressed so miserably.

"If this is the case."

"Then I'm afraid my expansion won't be as reckless as before."

"This secret realm has its own rules."

"If you want to win, you have to adapt to this world."

Fang Yuan thought in his heart.

At this time, Christian returned to the castle with the legion.

Along with it was the corpse of the frogman commander.

"Your Excellency, look."

Christian opened the body of the frogman commander.

A tiny crystal was dug out from inside.

"This is?"

Looking at the crystal in front of him, Fang Yuan asked in surprise.

"It should be the original form of the legendary magic crystal!"

"Magic crystal?"

This thing is not a product of the magical rules of the Old World.

It is precisely because of the magic crystal.

Only then did the civilization of wizards and magicians flourish.

"Doesn't magic crystal only exist in the body of monsters?"

Fang Yuan asked curiously.

This is found in some documentary records of the Old World civilization.

"The back is."

"But not in the beginning."

"It is rumored that the initial form of the magic crystal is formed by gathering the power of every awakened person."

"In the beginning, individuals of every race were able to condense magic crystals."

"With the magic crystal, you can control an extraordinary skill."

"The stronger the magic crystal, the stronger the skill."

"When the rumors first began, all races relied on the power of magic crystals to drive away monsters and survive disasters."

"But with the development of the times, the power of magic crystal is too limited."

"And later, a magic crystal skill appeared. You can kill enemies and obtain magic crystals to strengthen yourself."

"People are gradually abandoning the control of magic crystals to gain extraordinary power."

"The shift seems to have been right after the first race war."

"I forgot the specifics."

"I only found out about it at that time by reading the ancient books collected by a priest in the Holy Light Church."

"I just thought it was to expand my knowledge. I didn't expect that I would see the original magic crystal at this time!"

Hearing this, Fang Yuan's attention was not on the magic crystal.

But the times that Christie talks about.

"That is, during the First Race War, or before."

"Is it common among all races in the Old Continent to gain power through magic crystals?"

Christian nodded.

"You can say that."

Fang Yuan looked at the magic crystal.

"So this secret realm is pretty much what Lilith guessed."

"Pertaining to the First Race War, or before."

Christian thought for a moment.

"It was at the end of the Ya-god era."

"In that era, the gods were fighting and it was extremely chaotic."

"And the power is mainly based on divine power."

"It should be after the end of the Asia God Era, but before the racial war started."

Fang Yuan nodded.

The world is now in chaos.

The rules of the world don't seem clear either.

From this point of view, Christian's judgment was correct.

"It's good to know the era you belong to."

"Do you know the history at this time?"

Christian shook his head.

"The inheritance of the Old World often ends at the turn of the era."

"It's like this between the Dark Age and the Age of Gods."

"It was the same in the era of sub-gods and the racial war."

“This era is supposed to be dark.”

"All races are struggling to survive after the death of their gods."

"No one knows where the way out is."

"Many city-states have just been revived, only to be destroyed in the blink of an eye due to the turmoil of some extraordinary power."

"Even in the time between the Calendar of Glory and the Race War."

"It has a powerful magic city and a ring-shaped throne."

"At that time, a simple burst of magic power was enough to easily destroy a powerful country."

Hearing this, Fang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little creepy.

"Hopefully we won't have this terrible disaster."

"That's right, Christian."

"Do you know other uses of this magic crystal?"

Fang Yuan asked, changing the subject.

He thought for a while and said.

"I once heard the priest from the Holy Light Church say that."

"The emergence of magic crystal represents the dawn of a new world."

"And if a supernatural being who appeared in the future goes to this era."

"You can try to replenish yourself by absorbing the power of the magic crystal."

Absorb, replenish!

That's right.

The magic crystal recorded in the old continent contains energy.

The way magicians use it is to absorb and replenish.

What Fang Yuan didn't expect was that other heroes who didn't control magic could also use it.

"Really?"

Fang Yuan asked.

Christian calmed down and said.

"Yes!"

"The power of the magic crystal is the embodiment of the power of rules."

"After the sub-god era, the power of faith disappeared."

"All new powers can be attributed to the evolution of the magic crystal."

Fang Yuan looked at the weak Qing Feng.

"Try it!"

Qing Feng nodded.

Pick up the magic crystal, and then activate the shadow power in the body.

Following that, Fang Yuan saw a bright light quickly enter Qing Feng's body along the palm of his hand.

About half an hour later.

Qing Feng opened his eyes.

There was an irrepressible joy in his eyes.

"Lord."

"It really works!"

"Absorbing the power of the magic crystal can indeed replenish my lost shadow power."

"With just this small piece, my shadow power has been fully replenished."

"The most important thing is that I vaguely found that if I can continue to absorb the magic crystal."

"Maybe my strength can be continuously unlocked."

Hearing this, Brainy on the side seemed to have realized something.

He looked at Fang Yuan.

"Lord."

"You said before that expanding the territory and killing hostile forces can unlock our power."

"Is there a possibility that the secret to unlocking our power is the magic crystal!"

Fang Yuan smiled slightly.

"Be more confident and eliminate the possibility."

He paused and continued.

"That's right!"

"I am a pioneer lord in the future."

"There is no reason to develop the territory slowly after arriving here."

"There is definitely a way to speed through."

"I was thinking before that it might take some effort."

"Now it seems that it is not necessary."

Then Fang Yuan looked at Christian.

"Magic crystals are the key to unlocking the seal."

"But the legions we brought are as high as one million."

"And most of them are very strong."

"Plus the competition from other evil gods."

"Magic crystals must be in short supply."

"And now the key to victory or defeat lies in who can master more magic crystals."

"The legions under your command are stronger."

"So!"

"Our next focus is no longer on expanding the territory."

"But on obtaining magic crystals."

"Of course."

"Before that, we still need to expand the territory and enhance our position."

"Because no matter where you are, the bottom layer has the least information."

"So the next step is to fight out of this swamp territory."

"Plunder all the magic crystals in the frogmen's bodies."

"Then expand the territory and establish our own territory here."

"Then find a way to obtain a large amount of magic crystals."

Hearing Fang Yuan's words, the heroes under his command immediately had a direction.

"Lord."

"If you want to deal with the frogmen, you need to find their nest."

"Please let me scout the location of the nest."

Qing Feng took the initiative to speak.

Compared with other heroes, Qing Feng has been weakened, and Shadow Walking is no longer as powerful as before.

But!

Its ability to hide and conceal is also very strong.

Suitable for use as a scout.

And the key to fighting against frogmen in the swamp is to figure out the opponent's position.

As for combat effectiveness.

The counterattack just now made Fang Yuan realize that only 300 archers plus heroes are needed.

It is enough to kill all these frogmen.

Fang Yuan nodded.

"Go."

"This secret realm is special."

"Safety first."

Qing Feng retracted the dagger in his hand.

"Sir."

"Although my strength has been suppressed."

"But please rest assured."

"As long as I am not weak, no one can kill me."

After Qing Feng left, Fang Yuan turned to look at Brainy.

"There are still five residents in the territory."

"The frogman blockade is now lifted."

"Take them to get information outside the swamp."

"It's better to get an accurate map."

"I want to know the current location and the surrounding forces to determine how we should expand in the future."

"Yes, sir."

Just when Brainy had just left.

A message box popped up in front of him.

"Ding, you can choose to wake up units now."

Five times a day.

And today there are only 300 archers.

There are still four times to wake up.

"I don't know what will be awakened this time."

Fang Yuan's thoughts moved slightly.

Quickly opened the Lord's Seal to check.

"Option 1: Awaken 300 Guardian Knights."

"Option 2: Awaken 300 Original Blood Forest Giants." (End of this chapter)
