Chapter 5, Strengthening Troop Types and Configuring Troop Types
Withdraw your thoughts; these are matters for the future. For now, he must utilize this golden opportunity to gain some benefits and strive to enhance his strength.
Without further ado, he immediately took out two new cards and inserted them, breaking them down and merging them into the previous card.
A single enhancement is not too outrageous, but if a batch of elite troops can be assembled, the combat power enhancement would be quite considerable
Reopened the trading platform, took a quick tour on the platform dedicated to selling personal terminals, and soon ordered a silver wristwatch-style personal terminal, priced at 2000 yuan.
Then, the space was cleared, and two Imperial Infantry Promotion Cards were thrown into it, skillfully decomposing into two orbs of light containing complex runes.
If a batch of elite template troops can be accumulated using this method, the combat effectiveness will undoubtedly be significantly enhanced
The premise is that you can cultivate it
Li Qing immediately checked and found that there seemed to be no significant changes; they were still standard imperial recruits
Humanity possesses over 500 divine thrones, yet within the internal military system of human civilization, there are only a little over 100 types of troops. Moreover, many of these have relatively low upper limits, insufficient to support the birth of a divine throne
After placing the order, Li Qing closed the platform and checked the messages again. There was still no news from her parents, and they had not yet returned
However, the level 4 unit cards are sufficient for use. Once upgraded to the fourth tier, there are basically very few opponents within the dimensional fragments where the War Lord Academy is located, and those who are upgraded can easily dominate.
If he were outside, this move would undoubtedly be astonishing, but within his own divine realm, it poses no issue. After all, these affiliated clans entering the divine realm can basically expect to never leave for the rest of their lives
Those advanced promotion runes are all held by powerful warlords, either for their own use or as rewards. On rare occasions, if they do become available, they are sold at exorbitant prices. It is unlikely that a newcomer like him would have the opportunity to obtain them
Without further ado, Li Qing decisively took out the remaining five Imperial New Soldier cards and threw them into the space, once again condensing a premium template Imperial Infantry Promotion card
There is a considerable shortage of items in the divine realm, but most of them are not essential at the moment and can be postponed
The Lord of the Blackstone Realm is a lower-tier warlord deity, relying on the Order Throne among the four supreme warlords. The military unit system he possesses is that of the human empire under the Order Throne, which includes infantry and * maps *, archers, spear throwers, crossbowmen, cavalry and mounted archers, aerial cavalry, and imperial mages, constituting a complete military unit system.
All warlord apprentices and heroes from the entire Blackstone Realm will gather at the Warlord Academy, whether for fame, resources, or the unique rewards exclusive to the realm masters offered by the Academy. The competition will be extremely fierce at that time
Too little
This time he immediately noticed the intense changes within the card, but upon careful observation, he still felt it was somewhat lacking. He took out another card and inserted it into the mix, and this time he clearly felt that the speed of condensation had significantly increased.
The so-called promotion runes constitute a highly complex system, primarily based on rune studies, combined with magic, alchemy, forging, and other extraordinary disciplines related to bloodlines, creating a military promotion system.
At that time, there will be five imperial cavalrymen, along with twenty ordinary soldiers and ten elite soldiers. Their combat strength should surpass that of most civilians, and during the class allocation, they should be able to be assigned to a good mentor.
Considering the future need to maintain troops, the monthly living and maintenance expenses for thirty-five full-time soldiers have already exceeded ten thousand. If salaries are upgraded in the future, they will be even higher
In the same circumstances, flowers that have grown in a greenhouse face complex situations and various crises, and their ability to survive is certainly inferior to that of commoners who have worked hard to reach this point
The resources at hand are limited to these; we can only find a way to work with what we have.
Of course, he only handles the rough processing of materials; the specific tasks of building houses, making furniture, and constructing walls still require the vassals of the territory to do the work, rather than having the lord take care of everything himself
Li Qing does not expect to compete with those top-ranked special-level mentors, but at the very least, he cannot be at the bottom
Because the imperial cavalry is initially an elite template, the promotion of cavalry must be accompanied by a mature warhorse. Only in this way can the promoted cavalry achieve unity with their warhorse, starting at level 18.
According to Mentor Fang Hai, the first class division will begin in the first week of entering the War Academy
Two elite infantry soldiers and two elite archers were appointed by Li Qing as the team leaders and deputy leaders of the infantry and archers, respectively. They were ordered to negotiate adjustments to the patrol team within the divine realm in his absence, after which Li Qing left the divine realm
That being said, the military unit system is far removed from Li Qing, and there is no need to consider these matters before being promoted to a formal warlord.
This thing is too difficult to cultivate; it is not merely a matter of having sufficient resources to cultivate it.
It is important to understand that the War Lord Academy and the Junior Academy are entirely different concepts. The former gathers all warlord apprentices from the entire Blackstone Realm, including those from academic backgrounds like Li Qing, as well as the direct descendants of various warlords affiliated with the Blackstone Realm who have not entered the academy.
Sure!
Although their restrictions may be tenfold or even several times that of civilians, they are indeed limited
A single elite infantry soldier would certainly be unable to withstand the assault of five ordinary template imperial infantry soldiers, but five elite infantry soldiers would undoubtedly sweep away five ordinary imperial infantry soldiers. In situations where the commanded forces are limited, an entirely elite unit is certainly stronger.
One who often walks by the river is bound to get their shoes wet
To know these troops, it is essential to have a hero commanding them in order to engage in battle effectively. Without a hero's command, the soldiers will become like headless flies and collapse
However, family support is always limited, although the academy does not impose any restrictions in this regard, and human civilization does not limit the funding that warlords can provide to their descendants
Now, using spatial direct decomposition for shaping not only results in standard and neat wooden boards, but also minimizes waste, allowing for the assembly of small wooden blocks that can be used to create small furniture
Only by combining internal and external factors, with both abundant resources and the experience of a seasoned warlord, can one go further
The warlord throne that possesses its own unique military system is the superior warlord throne
Next, the five Imperial Cavalry promotion runes in hand made Li Qing hesitate for quite a while, ultimately deciding against fusion
Two promotion runes merge into one, recondensing into a card
The elite template increases its strength by approximately 30% based on the original foundation
Taking out the remaining 10 Imperial Infantry Promotion Cards, 10 Imperial Archer Promotion Cards, and 5 Imperial Cavalry Promotion Cards and spreading them in his hands, Li Qing fell into deep thought
The Imperial Infantry, Imperial Archers, and Imperial Cavalry are all Level 4 cards, meaning that the promotion limit for these three types of troops is up to the fourth tier
As soon as the card takes shape, I immediately take a look, and my eyes light up.
In total, 140,000 was spent, leaving 210,000 remaining
Certainly, this is one way for ambitious warlords to ascend to the divine throne, but it does not imply that all divine thrones are attained in this manner
Out of one hundred imperial infantry recruits, only one or two are likely to survive and be promoted to the fourth tier heavy infantry.
The money is insufficient, and considering the potential for miscellaneous expenses, it is estimated that this amount can only last for about two to three months
Additionally, five warhorses are needed to promote five imperial cavalrymen.
In total, he needs to spend 90,000 yuan
Level 4 Empire Infantry Promotion Card costs 2000 yuan each, and five cards can be combined to create one Elite Quality Promotion Card, requiring a total of 20 cards, amounting to 40000 yuan.
By mastering the source of this military unit system, one can continuously gather promotion runes, which can be used personally, bestowed upon subordinate heroes and vassals, or sold
The 18th level imperial cavalry is considered a tier one unit, and from its level, it is evident that it is indeed a very strong tier one unit. Furthermore, with the enhancement from elite units, even with just five cavalry, it possesses considerable combat power
After spending two days, Li Qing completely disassembled and reshaped 150 cubic meters of timber into standard boards, which were then taken out and handed over to the villagers for house construction
Although the items prepared by his parents are not many, they are all very useful
Each hero has a limit to the number of troops they can command, and naturally, the more elite the troops, the better
Moreover, being promoted to the fourth tier of heavy infantry merely ensures a stronger survival capability; once killed in battle, it is all for naught
However, I did not hesitate for too long and quickly made a decision
However, he has not promoted the five cavalrymen at present, as he does not have any warhorses available, and there are not enough qualified white-name dependents.
The standard imperial military horse costs 6,000 yuan each, totaling 30,000 yuan for five horses
It is said that in order to consolidate the divine throne and be promoted to the lord of a realm, one must independently create a unique military system of their own.
War is a perilous endeavor
Turning around, he brought the items into the divine realm, unlocked it, and immediately selected five indigenous men along with five warhorses to promote five cavalrymen.
It is fine for now; newcomers who have just opened the divine realm do not need to venture into dangerous places. In the future, upon graduating from the academy, all warlord apprentices will need to officially descend into the perilous depths of the chaotic void sea, facing the indigenous civilizations, monster lords, and even other lord civilizations that, like humans, have received the destiny of the new era.
To be honest with the * picture * book, the total value of the five cavalry promotion cards in his hand already exceeds the value of twenty imperial infantry and twenty imperial archers
It took only one day for the ordered cards and personal terminals to be delivered
Returning to the dormitory, Li Qing opened the computer, logged into the Blackstone Domain internal trading platform, and prepared to purchase some items
It is normally required to process all of these 200 cubic meters of timber into standard-compliant boards. Given the current population of the territory and the availability of complete tools, it will take at least two to three months, and there will also be significant losses.
However, it is not to say that the upper limit of the imperial troop system is Tier 4, but rather that the promotion card he purchased can only be promoted to Tier 4. There are further promotion paths for imperial troops at Tier 5, Tier 6, and even higher, but he simply does not have the qualification to purchase them
In coordination with thirty archers, the divine domain's combat power has begun to take shape.
This standard wooden board can be used for building houses, making furniture, and can also serve as earthen walls, thereby saving the subjects the trouble and effort of sawing wood and drilling holes.
They are well aware that if unlimited resources are provided from the very beginning, it may indeed be powerful in the initial stage, but it will deprive them of the opportunity for refinement, adventure, and a spirit of enterprise
Li Qing felt the need for a personal terminal, as it was too inconvenient otherwise to write down the address and contact information on paper
At that time, the allocation to a particular mentor will be determined based on the existing strength and relationships within the divine realm, and there is a significant disparity in the resources held by different mentors. According to Mentor Fang Hai, the difference in resources and connections between the weakest and the strongest mentors can be as much as several dozen times.
There are still many military unit systems that are not formed by their own cohesion, but rather acquired from other civilizations in foreign lands or inherited from the military unit systems of the previous era
He is preparing to purchase another batch of Imperial Infantry and Imperial Archer promotion cards to combine and create several elite unit cards
The family may provide some support if the ranking is favorable during the initial class division. If one can achieve a good ranking among first-year students upon entering the War Academy, financial support from the family will be granted.
From ancient times to the present, how many warriors have been able to survive the battlefield and meet a good end
This is quite complex, involving a great deal of ultra-advanced and extraordinary knowledge. Without sufficient accumulation, even a legendary mage would have no way to begin.
Although he has never used them, he knows that these promotion cards can be fused for enhancement, but he is somewhat hesitant about how much to enhance them
First, decompose the nine wooden blocks inside, and then directly mold them into solid wooden boards measuring 1.5 meters in width, 3 meters in height, and 5 centimeters in thickness. One block can be made into five pieces with some surplus.
However, any forward-thinking parent would not provide unlimited resources in the early stages, even as they were just establishing their divine realm, as even the initial supplies obtained by the warlords' direct descendants were limited.
The main point is that if integrated, a single cavalryman seems to be less effective than five cavalrymen. Moreover, the imperial cavalry system itself is a model of elite troops, inherently possessing strong combat capabilities.
Although he has not contacted his family, he needs to provide school verification to receive the family resource package
Five Imperial Infantry Promotion Cards merge into one, still coalescing as an Imperial Infantry Promotion Card. However, the Imperial recruits summoned using this card are no longer of the ordinary template, but have transformed into an elite template
A steward from the family left him a message, first offering congratulations and then providing a contact located near the Blackstone War Academy. This is a shop owned by the family in the Academy City, which also serves as the family's office there. All family members within the War Academy can contact the family through this office if they need assistance.
The family, on the other hand, is aware that he has successfully opened the divine realm and has been promoted to an apprentice warlord.
The training of military units primarily involves combat, and one must personally slay enemies on the battlefield to gain combat experience for promotion
Then there are ... twenty adult indigenous men of high quality, priced at 1,000 each, totaling 20,000.
The promotion card for level 4 imperial archers also requires 20 cards, but the ranged troops are more expensive, costing 2,500 each, totaling 50,000 for 20 cards
Generally speaking, any second-generation individual who is willing to endure hardships and put in sufficient effort, relying on a higher starting platform and more resources, will achieve greater accomplishments than those from ordinary backgrounds.
The current size of the divine realm and the number of its dependents is comparable to that of a small village
Many warlords above level 5 are unable to consolidate their own military systems and will choose to rely on a certain deity who possesses their own military system. Such warlords are considered lower-tier war deities.
However, as the owner of this space, he can indeed sense that there are some changes, but the integration is still insufficient and far from reaching the critical threshold of transformation
