Chapter 69: King of Archers
The sky is blue, the grass is green, the air is sweet, and the mood is happy.
It feels good to be back.
It was not until he stepped on the ground and saw clearly that the surrounding environment was indeed his village that Zhang Yang's heart was relieved. This hero trial took a total of 9 days, and 9 days had passed in the village. It was impossible to say that he was not worried. What if something unexpected happened? What if the orc tribe suddenly did not play according to the routine? Fortunately, everything was normal at the moment.
Nowadays, all the trees within a three-kilometer radius of the village have been cut down, so the view is quite wide.
The village's castle has been completed. It is a new castle that is built by integrating the previous level 2 fortress.
Except for a city gate, the city is surrounded by city walls. The outer wall is a two-layer stone wall made of one-meter square stones. The inner wall is made of huge logs and earth walls, with a total height of four meters and a total width of six meters. There are fifty-centimeter-thick logs on the outer edge as arrow shields.
Standing on the city wall, you can see that the reclaimed farmland is all green and all the crops are growing well. They are almost 30 centimeters tall and will be ready for harvest in two or three months at most.
However, Zhang Yang's good mood was immediately dampened when he thought about the upcoming war with the Orc Tribe that would completely destroy the crops.
"Wu Yuan, go back and have some rest first. Come back tomorrow morning to discuss this matter."
Zhang Yang thought about it and said, in the previous trials, this guy just played the tragic role of jumping into pits and filling them up. He was on the verge of life and death several times and it was really hard. Fortunately, there is no loyalty setting, otherwise this guy would have rebelled long ago.
So no matter how urgent the situation is, he has to take a rest.
"Village Chief, I'm not tired."
Wu Yuan had a positive look on his face, but without his eyebrows, beard and hair, he looked like a tea egg.
"Hahaha--"
Zhang Yang couldn't help laughing, and then stopped abruptly, because he suddenly remembered that he was also a tea egg now, so it was suddenly not funny anymore.
"Okay, then you don't have to rest!" Zhang Yang was completely in a bad mood.
Wu Yuan: ...
Next, of course, they summoned the Violent Bear Four, Qin Yidao, Liu Dali, Sun Goudan and other core captains, as well as the craftsmen headed by Zhao Tiezhu, and asked them what had happened in the past eight days. In fact, nothing had happened, except for the occasional orc spies appearing around, or a flying monster occasionally appearing in the sky, everything was basically normal.
However, after communicating with the ghost priest, Zhang Yang already knew that these little orc ghosts had been appearing around the village frequently, so it seemed that this battle was inevitable.
"Wu Yuan, I have three two-star hero promotion templates here. Who do you think would be the most suitable to use them for?"
At this time, Zhang Yang asked. After all, Wu Yuan could be regarded as the chief coach of all infantrymen. He had the deepest understanding of every soldier, so his suggestion must be correct.
"Village chief, our biggest threat right now comes from the Orc Tribe. In the previous battle, they suffered a great loss from our Imprisoned Spears. So from now on, I think their attack mode will be mainly long-range, supplemented by close combat. Cavalry units may also appear."
"And their ranged troops may include archers, fireball mages, wooden spear throwers, etc. In this case, I think we need a hero who focuses on defense, so Wang Mumu is the most suitable. If he is upgraded to a two-star hero, he may even be able to block the enemy's fireballs."
Wu Yuan said solemnly at this time.
"Yes, we do need a real tank. Okay, let's give this person to Wang Mumu. Then what?" Zhang Yang nodded in approval.
"Next, I recommend the archer captain Qin Yidao, because it has been proven that high-level ranged professions have a very obvious suppressive effect in battle, regardless of offense or defense, so we need a powerful ranged hero to form a huge deterrent to the enemy. As for the last candidate, basically Song Dachui, Duan Kuan, Zhou Datou, Liu Dali, and Sun Goudan all meet the requirements. It all depends on your future strategic layout, village chief."
This time, Zhang Yang thought about it and agreed with Wu Yuan's suggestion. Yes, archers are an absolutely rubbish profession in the initial stage. 100 archers cannot kill a level 1 green wolf monster. However, after being upgraded from ordinary to elite, and then from elite to captain level, the terrifying level of the archer profession is really terrifying.
The village has not been attacked by flying monsters in the past few days, and the credit goes to the 24 archer captains. The flying monsters are not unwilling to eat meat, but they are afraid of dying if they fly down.
So, who gets the last hero template?
Zhang Yang fell into deep thought, while all the captains had shining eyes, waiting with great anticipation.
This wait lasted for more than ten minutes. It was not because Zhang Yang was in trouble, but because he was thinking about one thing, Zhao Xuanling's tiger tribe.
Their development strategy was to guard the volcano, use fire spirits to control the volcano, and then scare the enemy, and they managed to survive like this for 300 years.
The disadvantage is that time has been too long, and the fire spirit has really become a spirit, and has joined forces with outsiders to rebel.
But putting all this aside, Zhao Xuanling’s village development strategy can actually be summed up in one word: defend.
This strategy is pretty good. If Zhang Yang wants to learn it, he doesn't have a volcano, so he can only develop and train ghost priests. He can't let his village become a famous ghost village!
Moreover, the previous example of the fire spirit's rebellion is right there.
"Sun Goudan, you will be the third hero."
Finally, Zhang Yang made the decision. This time, even Wu Yuan was stunned, and Song Dachui, Duan Kuan, and Zhou Datou were even more disappointed, because in terms of strength, they were the ones who were at the forefront.
"Don't worry, I have considered everything. The three of you, whether it's Song Dachui, Duan Kuan, or Zhou Datou, all have very strong battlefield survivability, so I will personally take you to start the Hero Trial in the future. The situation in the Hero Trial is complicated, and you don't know what kind of danger you will encounter. It's just right for you to go. If the archers go, they may die because of their poor battlefield survivability."
"And if Qin Yidao and Sun Goudan are upgraded to heroes through the hero template method, they can cooperate with our castle and our defenders to form a powerful damage output capability. Let them guard the home, and we can rest assured when we fight outside. Otherwise, when we come back and find that our home is gone, wouldn't that be a joke!"
After Zhang Yang's explanation, everyone finally understood and the slight disappointment they had just felt disappeared.
At this time, Wang Mumu suddenly said, "Village Chief, in this case, please give my hero advancement template to the archer brothers. If I want to be promoted to a hero, I will rely on my own strength to fight my way out."
"Yes, we, the foursome of Violent Bear, live and die together, and advance and retreat together!" Song Dachui also shouted excitedly.
"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't upgrade the shield soldier hero, who will block the fireball of the orc mage?" Wu Yuan went up and kicked Wang Mumu. It seemed that he was left with a trauma by the fireball.
"It's okay. I'll find a way to deal with the orcs' fireball. Wang Mumu, are you sure? Opportunities are rare and will never come back. This is a chance that is within your reach. You can become a hero without risking your life." Zhang Yang asked with a smile.
"I am very sure, Village Chief, there is no future in being a lazy person." Wang Mumu said with a firm face.
"Cou, Wang Mumu, you bastard, who do you say is a weakling? Come and fight me if you don't agree!" Qin Yidao on the other side was not happy. Okay, what you are implying is that our archers are weak. This is intolerable.
"Shut up! That's it, Qin Yidao, Liu Dali, Sun Goudan, the three of you use the hero template and advance to the King of Archers!"
Zhang Yang made the final decision, and he turned the tables on you little bastards! So the matter was settled, and he directly activated the upgrade function in the fantasy village building order.
"Should we use three two-star hero templates for the archer captains Qin Yidao, Liu Dali, and Sun Goudan?"
"Sure."
"Hero template activated. Since the three soldiers have not undergone the hero trial, please consume 10,000 energy points each to start this promotion."
"Confirm the consumption."
"At the beginning of the promotion, the soldier Qin Yidao chose the King of Archers template, and the compatibility is 100%. (See details)."
"Soldier Liu Dali chose the Archer King template, with a compatibility of 98% (see details)."
"Soldier Sun Goudan chose the Archer King template, with a compatibility of 97%. (See details)."
"Since the soldier Qin Yidao's compatibility with the Archer King template is perfect, a new upgrade change has been triggered. Please consume 20,000 energy points again to start the upgrade to the three-star hero template."
——
"Oh my god!"
Zhang Yang was really surprised and panicked. Fortunately, he had gained a lot of energy in the previous battle with the orcs, otherwise it would not be enough at this moment. Fifty thousand points of energy were gone in an instant.
Three white lights enveloped Qin Yidao and the other two at this time. It was obvious that the light covering Qin Yidao had some subtle changes. It seemed that this guy had first-rate potential, with 100% fit, which was even more awesome than Wu Yuan.
Of course, Wu Yuan was inexperienced and underprepared in many areas because he was the first to take the trial, and it ended hastily. Otherwise, with his strength, it would be no problem for him to become a three-star hero.
Fifteen minutes later, Liu Dali and Sun Goudan completed their heroic advancement, while Qin Yidao took a full thirty minutes.
This kind of hero promotion will not strengthen their weapons, but their combat effectiveness will at least triple, and Qin Yidao's will at least increase fivefold.
The specific attribute changes of Liu Dali and Sun Goudan are:
King of Archers: Strength B+, Agility C+, Defense C+, Soul D+, obtains the talents Great Strength and Precision, obtains the enhanced skills Overlord Armor-Piercing Arrow (with burst effect), Star Chaser Sixteen Consecutive Shots (three seconds sixteen consecutive shots), obtains Heroic Aura Shooting (specific effect: the long-range shooting accuracy of the soldiers in the team led by you is +10%)
Original skills: Wind-chasing arrow (locked attack), armor-piercing arrow.
The specific attribute changes of Qin Yidao are——
King of Archers: Strength B+, Agility B-, Defense B-, Soul C-, obtains the innate bow soul, great strength, and precision. Obtains the enhanced skills Overlord Armor-Piercing Arrow (with burst effect), Star Chasing Thirty-Two Consecutive Beads, Soul Chasing Arrow (Advanced Wind Chasing Arrow), obtains Heroic Aura Shooting (Specific effect: the soldiers in the team led by you have a long-range shooting accuracy of +10%, and a shooting distance of +10%)
——
When Zhang Yang told everyone the changes in the attributes of Qin Yidao and the other two, everyone was shocked and envious. These archer heroes were indeed powerful, especially Qin Yidao. Just because he reached three stars, there was such a huge difference in their attributes.
"This time, our nest is secure. Qin Yidao, from today on, you are the captain of the hunting team. Go out from the village to hunt more monsters and obtain monster souls, monster blood, and monster meat. The Violent Bear Four-Man Team will also be assigned to you. In addition, you will be assigned ten captain-level archers and ten captain-level infantrymen."
"Liu Dali, Sun Goudan, you two will be responsible for defending the nest. I'll give you ten captain-level archers, but you must be careful to hide this time. If there are any more flying monsters, you can trick them down first."
"As for you, Wu Yuan, you will be the head coach for a while. You will be responsible for training all the new recruits in wooden spear throwing. You can also help me cut some wooden spears. As for Zhao Tiezhu, you will make a large number of wolf tooth arrows for me during this period. Give priority to Qin Yidao and the other three. After all, their chain arrow skill consumes too many feather arrows."
