ps: There is a small problem at the end of the article. I scrapped the original manuscript and prepared to rewrite it. There are some changes in the plot, so I will revise it tomorrow morning.

According to the test report of Xuelan and the others, if territory specialties are to be linked with player specialties, the most valuable ones should be the "logistics manufacturing" type of specialties.

After all, it can affect the entire territory. For example, if one of the three logistics specialties contributes his specialty of making "elemental arrows" as a territorial specialty, it can make the lord's blacksmith shop and crafts in the territory

The "Elemental Arrow" production option appears in the lobby.

No need to ask about the lord's blacksmith shop, the effect even affects the special "crossbow arrows" used by machine crossbows and bed crossbows, further increasing their destructive power and attack power!

The craft hall is mainly aimed at players and various NPC craftsmen. As long as they engage in production activities within the scope of the craft hall, they will naturally have the option of "making elemental arrows".

In addition, if a logistics manufacturing specialty is used as a territory specialty for a long time, it will be easy to increase the number of NPC citizens in the territory who are engaged in corresponding manual production to improve and comprehend new corresponding abilities!

For example, they have figured out the secret of making "elemental arrows" on their own. Even if they change to other territorial specialties in the future, those guys can also produce elemental arrows by themselves. It is another way to improve the production skills of territorial craftsmen!

Of course, in this way, their production capacity will also be greatly improved, which also means that the territory's manufacturing capacity and gold production capacity will be further improved...

Xuelan and the others had already tested these effects on others, and confirmed that the data were accurate and much more reliable than those "rumors" outside.

However, after testing by Xuelan and the others... it is very strange that the "Military Strategy" type of specialty is completely unsuitable as a territorial specialty. It can almost be said to have no effect, not even for mercenaries~

In terms of the combat capabilities of the mercenaries themselves, it seems that the ones that have the greatest impact on them are still the "Recruiting Building Guards" and "Leading Generals", and the additional specialties provided by the territory cannot have an impact... Or perhaps it is the direction of Xuelan's test

No. That’s why no valid experimental data was recorded.

Then it’s the turn of “individual battle”.

Originally, what Xuelan and the others were least optimistic about was the result of using the "Individual Combat" series of specialties as territorial specialties, but the result was somewhat unexpected!

Because this thing must be related to mercenaries, Xuelan and the others specially arranged for a person with suitable skills to become the lord of Stormwind Fortress... By the way, this is really no ordinary adventure!

After all, even Stormwind Fortress is now fully constructed at Level 5. According to reports, the number of mercenaries involved in the store is quite large, and there are even a few elite Plague Legions. I have to say that if someone really wants to use some crooked ideas. No.

It's said to be a thorn in the side... but at least it's a big chunk of flesh taken out of Liu Yifei's body!

But fortunately, this brother is definitely one of our own... He is the Steel Blade of the Star! The captain of the assassin unit of the Star Wars Mercenary Group, one of the absolute veterans of the Plague Alliance! He is also the former master of the young assassin.

This guy was considered to be a rather impatient person at the beginning. He tested the power of the "Lord Knowledge System" himself very early on, and all the items that lit up were knowledge about individual combat.

Things like "advanced close combat", "advanced offensive techniques", "advanced weapon proficiency", "advanced dual-wielding weapons" etc... Anyway, I am determined to follow the individual violence stream!

The effect is indeed extraordinary when combined with it. It can now fully resist the attack of a perverted little assassin with lower-grade equipment.

If we look back at the past, the steel blade is indeed gradually becoming less powerful than the "apprentice" of the little assassin.

And this time I used steel blades for experiments. The results were incredible to everyone...

Because this actually involves the "mutation" of mercenaries!!!

Players basically know that in the hands of NPC lords, especially those powerful big lords, there are some rare special mercenaries, or they are "variants" similar to some general mercenaries, or they are completely different.

Alternative mercenaries.

But players still have no idea where these guys come from~

Also hired from the field?

Or some other method?

This problem originally troubled many people, but now it has probably been "decoded" by Xue Lan and others...or at least partially decoded!

At the end of their experiment, the biggest change was the fourth-level vampire mercenary in Storm Fortress!

Because they unexpectedly hired a fourth-order and first-grade "blade vampire"! It was a variant of the original lowest-grade vampire mercenary!

The hiring price is a full twenty gold coins higher than the original price!

However, the "Blade Vampire" that came out looks quite cool. In addition to an additional cape decoration, it is actually equipped with two non-removable dagger weapons!

The close attack is no longer the terrifying scratching and biting as before, but a whirlwind dagger combo! The attack speed is more than 1.5 times that of vampires of the same level! It can be said that the effect is amazing!!!

Of course, such a crazy attack speed-increasing effect is not completely free~

Or maybe it's because the new "Blade Vampire" no longer uses the primitive attack method of biting the enemy with its mouth roughly. This guy's combat blood-sucking ability... has actually been directly removed!!!

Okay~

This result is indeed a bit of a trap...or more than a little bit of a trap~

You must know that the reason why the fourth-level vampires are called the "invincible" army lies in their almost bug-like blood-sucking special effects when fighting against life-type enemies!

Especially under the leadership of the "Blood Prince", the blood-sucking special effects are increased by 100%, allowing the vampires to absorb the same amount of HP no matter how much physical damage they cause. It is definitely an extremely shameless army!

The only annoying thing is that the quality of the vampire itself is relatively weak compared to other fourth-level creatures of the same level...or compared to pure combat troops like ogres and crusaders, it is not a little weaker, but its own special effects

But it is invincible!

However, the attack speed is now strengthened. Although the strengthening effect is obvious, removing the blood-sucking effect seems to be meaningless...

"What about upgrading it? What will be the effect of upgrading it???"

When I heard that a "mutated vampire" had been created, how could Liu Yifei not be surprised?

You must know that in addition to the recently acquired "Ghost Peak" troops, Liu Yifei's three ace vampire armies are definitely his most powerful military protection artifacts!

The outside world even respects them like ghosts and gods, which to a certain extent also contributes to the reputation of these vampire troops~

If there was a way to further increase the power of the vampire army... what the hell!

Liu Yifei is willing to spend more money!!!

What's more, the money spent right now is just gold coins?

You must know that with the great prosperity of Plague City, Liu Yifei now has considerable reserves and profitability in gold coins. The landlord's family is not short of food for the time being. He is raising an invincible army!

What a pity~

Liu Yifei's little excitement had just begun, but it was completely extinguished by Xue Lan with a basin of ice water~

"No, we have already tried it. It is only after the sixth level that the 'Blood Blade Marquis' has the ability to fight vampires, and its blood-sucking ability is half weaker than that of the normal 'Blood Marquis'. In addition to its attack power being 10 stronger

%, the attack speed has increased by about 75%, and the HP limit has also dropped a lot. It can be said that the survivability has been seriously reduced."

"That's it..."

Hearing what Xue Lan said, Liu Yifei's brows immediately furrowed deeply.

There are eight levels of vampires in total. After reaching the sixth level of marquis, and above, there are only seventh level dukes and top-level princes.

The original blood-stealing rate of the Marquis is 30%. With the "halo effect" led by the prince, the damage conversion rate can be increased to 60% in one breath!

This makes vampires of this level particularly terrifying. After wearing heavy armor, which greatly improves their defense, they become the strongest "human shield troops". As long as they don't encounter restrained opponents, they are absolutely invincible!

Even if you complete the unconventional battle of "fighting with close range", you won't be afraid at all. It's so easy to win completely~

But if the blood-sucking ability drops by half...then the original invincible survivability of the vampire army will be greatly reduced~

Although it can also increase the explosive power of vampires, making them more terrifying, more violent, and more violent when crushing the weak... But this is meaningless~

Anyway, as long as they cannot defeat the vampire troops, even if it is a war of attrition, the vampires will eventually resurrect each other. In a completely undamaged state! It only takes a while to survive~

If the survivability of vampires is greatly reduced just to save that little time... Although the battle can be carried out more quickly, it will destroy the safety of the vampire itself, and instead cause it to breed new invincible enemies... such as long-range attacks.

A powerful force!

As long as one wave severely damages the vampires, it is very likely that they will not be able to resurrect each other later, and even being destroyed is not impossible~

Compared to improving the vampires' attack power and attack speed, Liu Yifei actually prefers to improve the vampires' blood-sucking ability and defense, that is, to continue to strengthen their battlefield survivability!

If there is a possibility of one in ten thousand, or one in a million! And vampires can also have blood-sucking effects when facing "inanimate troops" such as undead and alchemy puppets... Then Liu Yifei can really

Create an invincible army!

What a pity~

Reason told Liu Yifei that it was just his delusion, and it was "illogical" in itself. In all likelihood, it was impossible... But then Liu Yifei immediately thought of another possibility!

"So, in the lord knowledge of the individual battle series, is there anything that can give players the effect of fighting vampires? If that kind of special effect is used as a territorial special effect..."

"Well, we have already thought of it, so we are currently experimenting. Unfortunately, there are no similar special effects among the candidate specialties listed in the general system. This thing is a 'racial special effect' of the 'vampire race'. Maybe the system itself does not have such special effects.

It is also possible to include it in the 'specialty' system, but we will still try our best. After all, there are still 'hidden specialties' that we don't quite understand, but there is little hope in the short term."

Xuelan's service is impeccable and she responds quickly.

"What about being a vampire? Are there any other changes?"

After all, Stormwind Fortress is a level 5 stronghold. Corpse witches, undead and the like don't "feel" like they can be related to "weapons" or "melee combat." Liu Yifei doesn't have much hope, but if it can be strengthened

As for dead bodies and skeletons...that's also pretty good!

Especially the second-level corpse!

If the attack power and attack speed increase effects of the "Blade Vampire" could be transferred to the corpse, it would drive Liu Yifei crazy!!!

What a pity~

There really aren't that many good things in this world.

Xue Lan admitted that there were indeed changes on the side of the zombies. The "giant ax" they originally used after arriving at the zombie warriors became a "giant knife", and their attack power was further increased, and 5% of the attacks ignored defense power and caused "armor-breaking attacks"

The effect can be said to be combined with its originally huge number and not weak strength attributes, and the attack power has been significantly improved!

However...I'm sorry. There is no change in the speed, it is still a slow loser...
To be continued...
