"A small group of ratmen has fled nearby."
"oh?"
Su Yue looked somewhat surprised, then looked at Europa beside him and said, "Go and wipe them all out."
Before long, the remaining ratmen soldiers, along with the remnants of the ratmen forces that appeared in the tunnels, were also killed along the way.
"You have defeated a horde (many): 50-99 ratmen army and achieved a glorious victory."
"Gain 450 Lord Experience".
Su Yue never expected that he would encounter dwarves during his journey.
The lord's level has been increased from lv.3 to lv.4.
"Your lord level has been increased to lv.4."
Nearly 40,000 lord experience points were all reset to zero, and Su Yue's level also increased from level 3 to level 4.
"Is it possible to draw an intermediate skill?"
Su Yue became expectant.
Su Yue's basic ballistics technique had previously demonstrated over 15% increased power in a battle against 2000+ ratmen!
The basic pathfinding technique did not prove effective.
However, if either of these two skills can be upgraded...
Su Yue was able to unleash even more devastating blows against the dwarves, especially now that he knew the dwarves were lying in ambush ahead, preparing to attack the Canaanite territory.
"Basic skills are not very useful. It would be amazing if a level 4 lord could have intermediate skills."
Before Su Yue transmigrated to his previous life, it was also the early days of the Turin world, and even the top players rarely reached level 4. Because this game closely resembled reality, leveling up was extremely difficult. You see, Su Yue defeated two human empire rebel lords and then a ratman lord corrupted by the Holy See, and only then did he reach level 4. The difficulty of advancing to the lord level is self-evident.
"The special NPCs in the territory haven't been gathered yet, so we can only leave them to Abraham and the political officer Eric."
"Kim Soo-ah was in charge of all the construction work."
"Tier 7 ports are lacking a lot of gold coins."
“Gregory needs to level up and gain experience. Idya, this evil god, is basically on vacation until the very last moment, so it's best if he can bring in multiple benefits. The Dragon Harbor was a reward brought back by Idya…”
"In addition, there are the three major conflicts within the territory: the Holy See, the Devil's Cult, and the Cthulhu Cult..."
Su Yue felt that she was still lacking in many things.
"In any case, dealing with the dwarves first is the most important thing. Peace can only exist if we seek peace amidst war. As long as the dwarves are not destroyed, my Canaanite territory will always have an enemy sleeping on its bed... which is ultimately not a good thing."
Su Yue pondered for a moment.
Before my eyes, a large, blurry mass of chaos appeared like drawing cards, with three options emerging!
"Eagle Eye: Grants the hero a chance to learn the magic used by the enemy in battle after a victory. 40% chance to learn magic of level 2 or lower."
Copy Ninja: Kakashi?
Su Yue narrowed his eyes and turned them slightly to the right to look at the second lord's upgraded skill.
"Leadership: Increases troop morale by 1 point. Morale +1, with a 4.2% chance of being high..."
Both of these are basic skills, and the icons for them both look like basic skills.
Su Yue began to pray silently.
Intermediate pathfinding, intermediate ballistics!!
The difficulty of leveling up in Turin is too high. The bonuses of basic skills are limited, but the bonuses of intermediate skills are a qualitative change.
It seemed that even the heavens heard his voice.
"Intermediate Ballistics (blue): Your catapults (siege engines) deal +35% damage and have a chance to attack twice, with a 60% chance to hit the wall and a 50% chance to hit the maximum attack. Unless the walls are completely destroyed, the chance to hit the arrow tower is less than 60%."
"!!!"
Holy crap!!!
Su Yue immediately chose the intermediate ballistics technique, fearing that the skill might slip away.
A 35% increase in catapult damage, plus a chance to attack twice in a row!
This is almost comparable to the "Double Attack" lord talent he gained when he acquired 40 strength attribute points, and it's also Su Yue's first intermediate lord skill. The higher the probability of an intermediate lord skill appearing in the early stages, the higher the probability of an advanced one appearing later.
"That feels good..."
Su Yue's face was beaming with smiles and joy as he said, "Europa, you are truly my lucky star."
Europa's face was slightly flushed, seemingly pleased by Su Yue's praise.
Su Yue said:
"I'll just marry you when we get back."
"Wh...what?!"
Does the lord already know?
That night...
She did not do it.
but……
But Kim Soo-ah...
Don't let Kim Soo-ah's cute and delicate appearance fool you; she's actually 19 years old!
As a succubus, she extracted Su Yue's vital essence.
This directly led to Jin Xiuer being close to becoming a fifth-tier succubus.
The ascension of the demon.
A succubus's advancement might cause a change in appearance. The lord probably hasn't realized what Jin Xiuer did to him yet… As for her… how could she possibly do such a thing? At most, she just touched him!
Europa's face turned blood red in an instant.
Su Yue smiled and said, "I know everything. Don't worry, I will definitely treat you well in the future."
"No...it's not like that!! It's not what you think!"
Su Yue gently stroked Europa's long hair.
He pulled her into his arms.
"You are the first S-rank subordinate recruited by my divine army in the first natural month... There will be more powerful people accompanying us in the future... Europa, the lighting and the angle of you are really beautiful."
People are in high spirits when they have good news.
Su Yue has now obtained intermediate ballistics skills, which means he now owns more than 10 catapults.
As for why there are ten units?
The 2,000+ ratman troops were ambushed, and the Tier 5 Griffin also captured two ratman catapults. Although the design is different and requires ratman troops to operate, Su Yue now has exactly 10 catapults under his command.
Ten catapults were terrifying enough, but with the addition of a 35% power boost from intermediate ballistics techniques and a double-hit probability, Su Yue's ability in siege warfare has increased dramatically!
The ability to wage siege warfare directly determines the relative advantage or disadvantage in the conflict between Su Yue and the northern dwarven fortresses!
You could say it's intermediate ballistics!
This will bring unparalleled offensive pressure to future attacks on the dwarven castle! It will force the dwarves to no longer remain holed up in their fortresses; they will face Su Yue's terrifying catapult offensive and face immense counter-offensive pressure. —You must come out, or I'll use catapults to blow up your walls and castle!
This is where the value of intermediate ballistics lies.
"Ordinary lords would probably be completely helpless against the high walls and fortresses of the dwarves..."
While Su Yue was pondering this, little did he know that Europa was already so embarrassed she wanted to disappear...
Another black feather of decay sprouted from her wings.
Looking at the angelic girl's incredibly gentle and beautiful face, Su Yue, as if possessed, lifted her chin.
Europa was forced to stare into her pupils.
Sleipnir, the white horse, seemed to be helping out as well. The previously somewhat irritable white horse became completely still and obedient!
They made eye contact!
Europa stared in shock into Su Yue's eyes, which were like a gentle lake.
The white horse lord linked arms with Europa's snow-white forearm.
He gently kissed her.
Europa's pupils widened at first, his mind completely blank...
Not far away, the devil's followers transmitted this image to Abraham through "secret text in the Hebrew language".
"My Lord Abraham, your plan has worked! The Lord has launched an attack on that archangel."
A clear, black lake, with countless tiny eddies swirling within it.
Abraham opened his arms.
"Open it, my Silver Palace Treasury!!"
Countless enormous metal boxes, massive amounts of gold coins and treasures, gold and pearls, jade and agate piled up recklessly in the swirling lake before them, like sand in the desert!
"Are angels about to fall? It seems my false message has worked."
In fact, Su Yue felt weak because he had a relationship with the succubus Jin Xiuer.
But in reality, Europa, as an angel, wasn't that bold.
She never became his woman.
However, Abraham said this on purpose, which led Sue to misunderstand that Europa and he had already developed a romantic relationship.
now!
Su Yue's initiative also meant that the destruction of Europe and the Holy See was one step closer.
Abraham, the sixth son, once again hatched his own scheme.
“My loyalty to you is not expressed in the form of loyalty…this is true loyalty. Like true despair, it is, in a sense, kindness…”
Extreme loyalty is always the opposite.
Some of the most loyal figures in history often displayed a ruthless disdain for imperial power, even developing a certain contempt for it.
In the darkness, his pupils revealed a vortex and a storm.
A tall, handsome demon with a dark charm, dark skin, and eyes that gleam with an eerie green light.
Pointed ears and fangs, six fingers touching a wine glass:
"Was it worth it, my companion?"
Abraham said, "It's worth it."
"Failure will be futile. There will always be more losers than winners in the world. When saints fall to earth and begin to walk among mortals, we can then plot to kill the gods."
"At that time, the authority of all the stars will fall into the material plane, and the great divine kingdoms will also fall."
Abraham laughed and said, "So I believe in the strength and ability of our lord... He will provide us with the best territory and springboard for competing in the material plane, and it is not impossible that he will even be made a god."
The King in the Darkness: "Your judgment has never been wrong, and I hope it will be the same this time."
Abraham smiled.
"The Cthulhu Gods...a terrifying group."
