Looking at Ren Ying and Ren Wuxie, whose life span was only to the age of 20, Ren Suo felt that this save file was going to be useless again.
It would not be an exaggeration to describe this expedition as a disastrous defeat. The three most powerful members of the Ren family, the head of the Thunder Shield Axe clan, Ren Ying, the Burning Iron Hand, Ren Wuxie, and the Demon Hunter Silver Wolf, Ren Luoyang, went to clear the fire demons in Yiling. This was almost the most luxurious lineup of Ren family cultivators in history - although in fact, only a few of them could go on the expedition.
However, Ren Wuxie fell into the near-death situation twice, and Ren Ying fell into the near-death situation once. If Ren Luoyang and Ren Ying had not both ordered treatment, Ren Wuxie would definitely not have been able to return home.
Ren Wuxie was fine, but Ren Suo was heartbroken that his family director had lost a year of his life.
Because the head of the family can be equipped with skills, Ren Suo equipped the head of the family with "unlimited energy" at all times. According to the game settings and the side effects of "unlimited energy", when Ren Ying became the head of the family, her life span should be only half of that. The normal life span of the Ren family is 24 years, so Ren Ying should have died at the age of 12.
But in fact, it is not calculated like this, because before Ren Ying became the head of the family, she did not have "Infinite Energy" equipped, so her life span before the age of 15 was normal; even if she was equipped with "Infinite Energy", when she went to the battle, Ren Suo would not bother to switch to the main interface to help her remove this skill.
Because the skill of "Infinite Energy" can hardly be used when going on an expedition, of course it must be removed, otherwise a quarter of life will be wasted in vain.
But even so, because of the double training, Ren Ying's life span was still shortened to 21 years old. Although Ren Ying had already communicated with the spirit once, Ren Suo still hoped that she would give birth to a few pairs of twins to increase the population.
Ren Ying lost a year of his life, and that's not just life, he lost at least 10 attributes and a pair of twins!
The fire demon stronghold in Yiling is truly terrifying.
The horror does not come from how high the fire demons' output is - no matter how high their attack is, it can never be higher than the defense of the head of the house, Renying.
As long as the enemy's attack is lower than the shield-form monk's defense, theoretically as long as Ren Ying can attract the enemy's attention, then the rest is just a simple matter of losing blood and time.
After all, it is a turn-based battle, and Ren Suo cannot control any characters other than the head of the family, so naturally there is no difficulty in operating it.
However, the problem is that no matter how high Ren Ying's defense is, he cannot withstand the siege of the fire demons!
According to the detection attributes of Ren Ying, Ren Luoyang, and Ren Wuxie, the attributes of ordinary flame evil spirits are as follows:
"Flame Devil"
"Attack 15, Defense 20, Move 10"
"Elite: They were elite troops in life, and they will remain elite troops even after death. When there are more than 5 friendly units within 5 squares, attack +5, defense +5."
"Flame Blades: Their weapons have been corroded by flames, and every attack will be converted into fire damage."
"Burning with Resentment: The ideal of following a benevolent ruler to restore the Han Dynasty and bring peace to the world is burned into obsession by the flames. This obsession is so strong that it will even emanate from their bodies, making everyone who comes into contact with them feel their resentment. In each round, the defense of enemy units within 1 square of them will be reduced by 1, but it will not kill them."
Logically speaking, the attributes of the fire ghosts were not that difficult to accept, even though their attributes after becoming demons almost doubled or tripled compared to when they were alive, and even though they fought in groups, they were still within the range that the Ren family cultivators could handle.
However, the skill "Burning of Resentment" completely eliminated Ren Ying's advantage as a shield-form monk.
"Burning with Resentment" is not an attack and will not trigger Ren Ying's passive effect. As long as Ren Ying is surrounded by fire ghosts, her defense will be reduced by several points each round based on the number of fire ghosts!
Even though her defense was increased to 97.5 points, how many Flame Demons were there? And these were just ordinary Flame Demons. There were even more powerful Flame Demon Generals, and even Shu generals who were famous in history and died in the Battle of Yiling!
For example, the top three members of the Ren family just encountered "White-browed Ma Liang". Ren Wuxie, who came and went like the wind, was killed instantly by Ma Liang as soon as they met!
"White-browed Ma Liang"
"Attack 35, Defense 100, Move 10"
"Han Shi Shi Shi Zhong: When there is no Shu general of higher rank, Ma Liang can control the actions of any of his own units."
"White Eyebrow Tairyo: If there are more than 5 allied units within 5 squares, Attack +10, Move +5."
"Fire Magic: Flame Eyebrows: After Ma Liang was burned to death, only his eyebrows remained intact on his charcoal-like body. When he was resurrected by the resentful spirit energy, he automatically comprehended the Flame Eyebrows magic. The attack range is medium distance, single target attack, and fire damage."
Such a well-known Shu army general with particularly high defense will basically be the boss of every battle.
Don't think that "Flame Magic·Flame Eyebrow" doesn't look good. Of course, compared with the spells of the Ren family cultivators, Flame Eyebrow is indeed not good.
But the problem is that now in the whole Central Plains, only the cultivators of the Ren family possess a complete cultivation system and magic spells passed down from ancient times. Even if most people can comprehend spiritual energy, they mostly do not have magic spells.
Even if there is, it is just a self-realized magic like Ma Liang's. This kind of magic seems to be good, but of course it is far inferior to the precious magic that has been passed down from ancient times to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and recognized by Emperor Guangwu!
Emperor Guangwu originally believed that these descendants with the blood of the champion only needed to preserve these spells and pass them on to the descendants of the Han Dynasty when the Han Dynasty was in trouble in the future, so that they could turn the tide. This idea was probably correct.
Why do the monks of the Ren family want to assassinate the leaders of warlords to speed up the unification of the world?
Because no warlord could defeat the monks of the Ren family!
Even the famous military generals and strategists now are cultivators, such as Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, the Xiahou brothers, Zhang He, Lu Meng and the like... But no matter how talented they are, they can never be better than the cultivators of the Ren family who have the blood of champions!
No matter how powerful the magic they have mastered, it is impossible for them to be more powerful than the monks of the Ren family who have inherited the ancient Taoist tradition!
Otherwise, how could Ren Suo possibly defeat all kinds of demons in turn-based battles - in fact, the Ren family cultivators were already in a situation of combat power suppression, but there were just more enemies.
However, if the enemy possesses long-range spells and their attack power is strong enough, it will expose the fundamental weakness of the Ren family cultivators -
Ren’s family, too few.
Ren Suo didn't dare to let any of them die now, and would quickly bring them back for treatment if he saw them dying. If there were more Ren family members, even if there were more than 20 of them, and there were seven or eight combatants like Ren Wuxie and Ren Luoyang, Ren Suo would dare to use human lives to push through the Flame Demon Stronghold.
Not to mention that every battle requires fighting against at least a hundred fire demons. The shield-form monk Ren Ying is surrounded by eight fire demons in each round, with a -8 defense each round. After five or six rounds, Ren Ying will trigger the death line.
More importantly, if one wants to eliminate the Flame Demon stronghold, this kind of battle must be carried out at least 5 times - the Shu army generals in each battle are different, and the number of Flame Demons will continue to rise.
Ren Suo lay on the sofa, looking at the magnificent family hall on the screen and sighed.
As the population of Renjia Village increases, the family hall will become more and more beautiful. Now in 222, the population of Renjia Village has exceeded 1,200 people, which can not only provide high-performance armor for Renjia cultivators, but also improve the cultivation speed of Renjia cultivators.
But Ren Suoke did not feel any pride in his business success. He wondered if there was something wrong with the configuration for the expedition.
In fact, there is no limit on the number of participants in each base, except that there can only be four people in a team. However, players can choose to send multiple teams when "going out to fight".
So here comes the question -
There are only five people in the Ren family.
One is 13 years old and still practicing; the other is 5 years old. Yes, he is one of the twins born to the male elf after Ren Ying’s first spiritual communication, and Ren Xing, the fourth generation of the Ren family.
Ren Xing wanted to persuade the King of Hanzhong to withdraw his army when he was only 5 years old, which showed how politically conscious the Ren family was. Ren Suo suspected that once this guy turned 14 and was able to move around, he would immediately start courting death.
Although this detail is not reflected in the game, Ren Suo always suspects that after reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the head of the Ren family also automatically has the relevant memory. Not only that, but he also tells all the other children of the Ren family about it.
You asked where the other twin was? He died.
This was actually Ren Suo's mistake - when none of the garrison personnel in the family had the "healing" attribute, and at the same time there were a large number of villagers in Renjia Village, then the children of the Ren family (under 8 years old) would be at risk of contracting the disease and dying.
The other twin died in 219, at the end of the great plague in the Central Plains. One of them was jealous that no one in his family ordered "treatment", so he contracted the disease and died.
However, this kind of death from illness is avoidable, and the risk doesn’t even exist if there are enough people.
Back to the issue of education...
People from the Ren family always get mixed up in history for inexplicable reasons and die very quickly.
However, no matter what, I can only start over again...
Ren Suo sighed and prepared to start a new game, but then he remembered the Luoshen jade pendant given to him by Cao Zhi.
So he clicked on "Communication" and found that there was indeed an option called "Mi Fei".
Then Ren Suo was stunned.
"Mi Fei, a family member, characteristic: water."
Soul exchange, doesn't it mean spending soul crystals to go whorehouse... No, no, to trade?
Why does the price of Concubine Mi require the sacrifice of a family member?
