Chapter 29: Victor's 2nd Job Advancement, Flame Mage
Chapter 29: Victor's 2nd Job Advancement, Flame Mage
"Ding-dong."
"Job change successful. Victor has completed his second awakening, his attributes have been improved, he has gained Iron-level magic power, and he has acquired the talent of War Spell Mastery."
"Victor's level has been raised to LV12, and he has gained the new skills Flame Storm and Summon Fire Giant."
The remaining experience points are only enough for Victor to level up two times.
After the second awakening.
Black Iron-grade magic has a greater quantity and is purer, resulting in more powerful spells.
The new talent, War Spell Mastery, allows Viktor's spells to have a larger area of effect and deal more damage, granting him spells that are more suited to combat.
The effects are most evident in the new skills.
Flame Storm, lasts only three seconds, and has a range of 1000*1000.
The temperature in the covered area rises to 1000 degrees Celsius within ten seconds and lasts for 30 minutes.
It is extremely powerful.
This area is sufficient to cover one's own territory.
If you're hit by this spell, the entire territory will be burned to a crisp.
The second Flame Giant Summon is an advanced version of the Fire Elemental Summon.
It summons a 20-meter-tall fire giant to attack.
It's equivalent to summoning the fire elemental leader.
"The awakened Viktor is indeed capable of taking down the orcs tonight."
Two wishes resolved tonight's crisis.
"There will be a third time."
Ten thousand magic cores in my hand.
Lin Chuan didn't use it.
Further upgrades will require 100,000 magic cores.
Save this opportunity for when danger arises.
At this time.
Daenerys's scout cavalry, who had gone out to scout, returned.
They brought back information about the new map.
"Your Lordship"
Your guess is correct.
"We have discovered five outposts."
"The orcs at these outposts are already gathering their forces."
"The total number is 3000."
Lin Chuan's map was updated in sync, showing the locations of the ten outposts.
They were all distributed on the front of their own territory.
After clarifying the location.
The next step is to resolve these outposts as quickly as possible.
"What is the troop deployment like inside?"
"A portion of cavalry and a portion of infantry."
"Some of them are like monsters."
"Yes, monsters."
"We saw a tall cannibal."
After pondering for a moment, Lin Chuan summoned Arthur.
"Your thoughts."
Arthur marked the attack route on the map.
"Defeat them one by one."
"When attacking, leave a portion of your troops to guard against enemy reinforcements."
Lin Chuan tapped his fingers on the table.
"No."
"One force will besiege the enemy, while the rest will intercept reinforcements."
Encircle and attack reinforcements.
Rather than actively attacking the enemy's outposts, it's better to lure them in to attack.
"But, sir."
"Our strength is uncertain; we're not sure if we can defeat such a large force in the wild."
"unless."
Arthur turned his head and looked at the elven tree tower.
Unless you can bring this with you.
Block the enemy's path of attack.
Although the Treant Arrow Tower can move.
However, it is slow and has no protection in the wild, so it may be destroyed in a single salvo.
"My lord, the elven tree tower is very fragile."
"Without protection, they are easily destroyed in the wild."
Liya spoke up to remind her.
This is also what Lin Chuan is worried about.
At this moment, a message popped up from the Lord system.
It comes from Ma Yan, whom I traded with before.
"Boss, do you have any more healing potions?"
"Could you sell me some?"
"I'll use this transaction."
Ma Yan was lucky; while opening a treasure chest in the secret realm, she unexpectedly obtained a blueprint for a military outpost.
With these blueprints, troop outposts can be quickly built in the field.
The outpost was very small, normally only able to house 100 patrolmen and less than ten watchtowers.
"Change."
This is exactly what Lin Chuan is lacking right now.
With a troop outpost in place, the encirclement and reinforcement attack will be much easier.
"No need to move the Treant Arrow Tower."
"Build it right there."
Lin Chuan spoke up.
Then, Lin Chuan opened the map and explained his plan.
"These two outposts are the closest to us."
"Arthur".
"Send troops directly to take these two cities."
"To deter the enemy."
"Then send troops to surround this place."
This outpost is a vital transportation hub connecting several other outposts.
Lin Chuan's plan was to surround the enemy and then build a stronghold behind it to intercept reinforcements.
"At least three elven tree arrow towers."
Arthur added.
"Of course, there's also the Snow Wolf Infantry Tower."
At this point, Lin Chuan wouldn't feel bad about losing gold coins.
"Let's begin preparations."
"Make sure to eliminate the enemies at the watchtower before nightfall."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
.....
The expedition proceeded very quickly.
Arthur set off with his sword-and-shield infantry.
This time, to attack the stronghold, Lin Chuan converted the trebuchets he had built into catapults to follow.
The marching speed was a bit slower, but with catapults, the siege became much simpler.
When Arthur's army arrived.
The catapult is deployed.
"put."
After three rounds, they smashed through the city wall.
Arthur gripped his two-handed greatsword and charged forward.
The guards at the outpost tried to stop them.
Arthur's second awakening resulted in overwhelming power.
A cross slash killed the stronghold's guard leader.
Sword and shield infantry then followed up, opened a breach, and completed the capture.
The whole process took less than ten minutes.
The time spent on the road is far longer than the time spent fighting.
.......
When the first stronghold was captured.
Lin Chuan received the notification while still in his territory.
"Ding-dong."
"Break through the orc stronghold, gain 30000 experience points and 1 reputation point."
"Orc hatred level +100".
"Obtained Outpost Treasure Chest *1".
Not much reputation, but a lot of hatred.
Once this level of hatred reaches a certain point, the main force of the orcs will appear.
I'm not worried about getting 100 points.
The orcs' equipment was quickly retrieved.
This includes treasure chests.
The orcs' equipment was the main loot this time, and it was much better than their own standard equipment.
Unfortunately, these items can only be used by orcs.
The orc corpses are quite nice, though.
They contacted the previous buyer and sold the orc corpse.
When the other party saw the orc corpse, their eyes widened in surprise.
"Orcs!"
"Lin Chuan has already started fighting orcs?"
Although he was in a dark, dense forest, he had some channels to obtain information from other areas.
Some high-ranking lords from certain regions have also moved to larger maps.
The primary enemy is the orcs.
However, these orcs are extremely powerful.
Basically, very few people can beat him.
In the beginning, they relied on their territory to withstand the orcs' attacks.
Now, Lin Chuan sells orc corpses during the day.
Without a doubt, Lin Chuan initiated the attack on the orcs.
"This level of strength."
"Even among the lords of Earth, this is rare."
Shocked yet delighted, he was a necromancer who had changed his class.
With orc corpses, you can summon even stronger orc skeletons to fight.
He can also challenge goblin lairs.
These orc corpses sold for 20 gold coins.
The other party also gave Lin Chuan a message.
"Boss Lin."
"The orcs are quite strong."
"If the stronghold is attacked during the day, the number of orcs attacking the territory at night will indeed decrease."
"But our strength will increase."
"Lords in other regions have encountered this before; an assassin-like orc came at night."
"They infiltrated the territory and assassinated several of his heroes."
"Even he himself was almost assassinated."
"Be careful, or know when to stop, don't beat the orcs too badly."
When Lin Chuan received this message.
Arthur has breached the second orc outpost.
"It's too late."
He watched as his legion surrounded the third outpost.
Lin Chuan knew that once the arrow was released, there was no turning back.
As for the orcs' revenge at night.
"Three treasure chests."
"I wonder if I can get a developing device."
"Activate".
Two are orc stronghold treasure chests.
"Ding-dong."
"Obtained Bonecrusher Axe (Purple) *1".
"Obtained 1 Acceleration Scroll".
One piece of equipment, one scroll.
The purple Bone Crusher Axe has a bone-crushing effect on attacks, making it a very good purple equipment.
However, axe-type equipment requires specific skills to use.
Accelerate the scrolling speed to increase the legion's movement speed.
Lin Chuan listed his axe on the market marketplace to trade for usable equipment.
The accelerator roll is kept for use in field operations.
The last achievement chest.
"open."
"Ding-dong."
"Gained 10 Developing Dust".
