Su Yue watched as Abraham and the devil's cultists cleaned up the battlefield.
Lord's Log: "Your vassal Abraham has gathered his remaining troops, totaling 172 Tier 2 peasant archers, 89 Tier 2 long-haired warriors, 302 peasant thugs, and 142 Tier 2 soldiers, and has chosen to surrender to you."
Su Yue's diplomatic skills also played a certain role.
That is, a total of 705 soldiers surrendered.
Su Yue asked Abraham, "Can you still move more than half of it?"
Abraham: "About one-third."
The enemy force numbered 1,620 men. Nearly half surrendered, another third were wounded, and a third were unable to fight due to fear. 214 troops were added to fill the gaps, leaving Su Yue with a force of 672 men to fight the enemy.
Su Yue saw the Devil Cult followers, bound with wounded prisoners, leaving the battlefield in wagons laden with gold and silver treasures.
At this point, Su Yue had not yet continued to discuss the next strategic move with Abraham.
A system notification suddenly appeared.
"Due to the blessing of the 'Divine Army' and the 'Snail Annihilation Yellow Seal,' your troops have seen 9 Tier 1 Big-Eared Monsters promoted to Tier 2 Jackal Warriors/Wolf Fighters; 15 Tier 1 Cave Dwellers promoted to Tier 2 Blind Warriors; 12 Tier 1 Thieves promoted to Tier 2 Farmer Archers; and 6 Dwarf Warriors promoted to Tier 3 Dwarf Long-Bearded Heavy Hammerers!"
"One Tier 3 Dwarf Longbearded Hammer Hand has been promoted to Tier 4 Dwarf Thunder Shield Warrior."
"Your white military horse has been blessed by the 'Snail-Shattered Yellow Seal' and has developed a fifth leg."
Su Yue gasped.
Goodness.
Such a large number of soldiers were promoted?
Why hadn't he heard of such benefits in his previous life?
Could it be that the subordinates of the Divine Lord can all level up through battle experience?
Logically speaking, in the Turin world of my previous life, upgrading subordinates and troop types was very difficult.
Why do so many of my units get upgraded after just one battle?
In one wave, there were 36 more Tier 2 units, plus 6 Tier 3 Dwarf units and 1 Tier 4 unit... Su Yue could understand the dwarves' promotion, since after their resurrection they essentially farmed experience with him... But what's with the white horse?
Su Yue looked at 'Little White' beside her in surprise.
"My horse has mutated?"
"Hiss! Hiss!"
The white horse raised its hooves, and a second hoof appeared on the right side of its front hoof.
The two hooves on the right front hoof are standing side by side, and you can't tell that this white horse has a fifth hoof unless you look closely.
"It has five legs now?"
"...Any changes in attributes?"
Su Yue discovered that his blank white horse had now become a second-tier horse with attributes!
Lord's Log: "Tier 2 White Horse: This mount has been upgraded due to the massive experience gained from the Dwarf and Human Rebel Campaign in close combat with you."
Abraham laughed and said, "This mount has changed quite a bit. Why don't you give it a name, Master?"
Abraham, the sixth son, had a lot of hidden meaning in his every move. Fortunately, Su Yue didn't want to speculate too much and said, "Let's call him Sleipnir."
Sleipnir is the mount of Odin, the Norse god-king, and is said to be an eight-legged divine horse. As someone familiar with mythology, Su Yue wondered if this white horse, with its extra right foreleg, would veer off course while riding it.
Or is it that the two hooves are more powerful when moving to the right flank?
Abraham laughed and said, "Master, you have given this a very good name. I hope this white horse will grow eight hooves soon."
"Oh."
The white horse lowered its head and affectionately nuzzled Su Yue's shoulder, showing a strong dependence on him.
Su Yue was not surprised by the promotion of his troop type.
However, Su Yue was still somewhat surprised when he saw the fourth-tier dwarven Thunder Shield Warrior in dark armor holding a shield from a distance.
"Why do I have a feeling that this fourth-tier dwarf's potential is a bit off?"
Abraham said, "Perhaps there is a possibility of becoming a hero."
"real?"
Su Yue asked in surprise.
Abraham said, “A soldier who has been through many battles may become a general.”
"That being said, this promotion came a little too fast."
"This is a good thing."
Su Yue gazed at the distant, rolling mountain ridgeline, the location of the dwarven northern fortress. His decision to retreat was not solely due to the imminent arrival of reinforcements of 750 men, nor solely because of the intelligence provided by Ragnar, the Innsmouth scout.
Rather, they harbored concerns that the dwarves might launch a surprise attack on them...
“There’s a dwarven fortress looming over our territory, it’s really annoying, Abraham.” Su Yue’s handsome face exuded a sacred and majestic aura, but the 19th-century nobleman beside him was a mustachioed nobleman with trousers covering his legs, resembling a Alexandre Dumas from the Buddhist Kingdom.
He carried a pocket watch in his pocket and occasionally used a monocle.
Su Yue even witnessed Abraham wiping his glasses with his cane.
At this moment, Su Yue listened as the great demon Abraham, the ninth-tier "Silver Palace Lord" and "Dark Lord" Grazt, said to him: "Master, I think you should deal with this 750-man army first. On the one hand, there is the threat of the dwarves, and on the other hand, your appetite seems a bit too small."
Su Yue: "I'm afraid I'll overeat and upset my stomach."
Abraham shook his head and said, “You now have 214 men joining the ranks, bringing the total to 672. That enemy force of 750 who came to supply you plundered the human territory of ‘Gwof,’ and they are carrying a great deal of treasure. Your Majesty, my beloved Your Majesty, do you not wish for the people under your rule to live a better life?”
Su Yue looked at Abraham before him, as if he had transformed into the original sin of greed, inciting him to continue fighting.
"I'm preparing to retreat."
"It's too late..."
Abraham smiled at Su Yue in a manner reminiscent of the sixth brother.
As expected, the sixth brother's prediction was extremely accurate. Not long after, Ragnar sent a message: "My lord, 120 enemy third-tier knights have arrived on the battlefield!"
“...Damn Sixth Brother.”
Abraham shook his head: "We cannot be defeated no matter what. Even if you fail, my lord, the subsequent territories will not collapse. Our territory of more than 3,000 people can mobilize new reserve troops at any time, which may even be stronger than your current camp."
Su Yue gazed at the griffins in the distance!
The fifth-tier griffin has an extremely long wingspan and is very intimidating. At this moment, it is turning the catapults around with the troops.
32 dwarven grenadiers.
They also chose to surrender to him, and Su Yue still had some leisure time at this point.
He laughed as he watched his white horse advance to the next level.
"That makes it even more interesting."
He opened his attribute panel and started allocating points!
A lord's attribute of 20 points will bring about a qualitative change, resulting in a new talent skill, and when the attribute reaches 40 points, a new skill will be generated again.
Therefore, Su Yue plans to increase one attribute from 30 points to 40 points to obtain a new hero talent reward.
Name: Su Yue, Occupation: Divine Lord (S-level Divine Lord - Unique)
Alignment: Great Old Ones, Blessing: Yellow Seal of the Conch (Unique, SSS-level Blessing of an Evil God), Cthulhu's Familiar, Blood of the Great Old Ones (Mark).
Health: 685, Mana: 520.
Strength: 40, Agility: 38, Constitution: 30, Intelligence: 30, Cognition: 30, Charisma: 30.
"Free attribute points: 0 points."
His strength increased from 30 to 40, and his agility increased by 8 points.
"Congratulations to the player for breaking through 40 points of strength and gaining a new talent skill: Double Attack".
"Double Attack: Creatures led by the hero can deal double damage when attacking, and the probability of double attack is increased by 10%."
"Ha ha!"
The delicate sunlight made the joy of the divine overlord before him shine even brighter.
Europa stood aside.
Looking at the handsome lord before him, his expression was filled with anticipation.
The archangel in silver armor, having also cleaned up the mess, said:
"My lord, one hundred and twenty enemy cavalrymen have launched a surprise attack on our side. How should we deal with this trouble?"
Su Yue gently pulled on the reins, and the white horse 'Sleipnir' reared up, seemingly ready to fight him at any moment. The master's personality more or less influences the soldiers and subordinates under his command, including the white horse Sleipnir before him, which had become like Su Yue's, yearning for war!
Su Yue withdrew his gaze from the double attack and looked at the archangel girl's snow-white swan neck. After a brief moment of distraction, he said, "They've lost their way, haven't they?"
"Yes, 120 Tier 3 cavalrymen. Including that lord, they should be stronger than Tier 5. What do you plan to do?"
Europa's snow-white arms held a fourth-tier longsword, the sword of the hero who had surrendered earlier, Walter Lawrence.
The sword gleamed coldly, exuding a chilling aura.
However, it is still far inferior to Su Yue's divine artifact, Arachni.
"Since they've broken off, Europa, I plan to intercept any advance force that might be deployed to the front lines in the forest, then turn around and deal with his other side, cutting off their communication and completing a pincer movement and encirclement."
In the encirclement battle, the Su-Yue forces had an absolute advantage.
Abraham said, "If your appetite is any bigger, then so be it." Neither side's troops nor the enemy's forces were out of ammunition or supplies. In any case, the battlefield and reality are constantly changing. Now that the enemy had arrived, the Soviet Union had no reason to let them go!
"I'll just use you to test out my two new skills."
The two experiments Su Yue mentioned were, firstly, the "double attack" effect after a 40-point increase in strength attribute.
The second skill is pathfinding, which allows you to march comfortably in the forest and reduces movement speed loss by 15%!
"With increased speed, the speed of a surprise attack and turnaround will also be faster."
