Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start Chapter 45 - Rare Troop Lair (Axe of the Dead)

Chapter 45: Chapter 44: Rare Troop Lair (Axe of the Dead) Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Richard was slightly startled when he heard the system upgrade. He turned his head to look at the door.
At this moment, bringing back the heroes’ corpses released the intense and sincere emotions of the residents.
“Long live Lord Richard!”
Silence wrapped Richard.
After a moment of silence, a complicated smile appeared on his face.
He did not stay any longer and returned to the hall.
The plump kitchen maid served him an exceptionally sumptuous dinner she had already prepared.
After eating, he took a hot bath and washed away all his fatigue. Only then did he open the newly acquired skill.
[Leadership Skill: Special Skill (Beginner Level). It has a strong personality charm. It can easily convince and influence subordinates, which could make them have a strong trust in you. At the same time, it can encourage the troops in the wild to surrender at will.]
Although it wasn’t a battle skill, it still looked pretty good.
Don’t give it for free! Don’t give it for free!
The second and third reminders from the system made him feel better.
To his surprise, Adele directly activated the research function of the blacksmith shop.
It was mentioned on the official website of the game “Shining Era” that the system couldn’t upgrade the troops’ lair…
Other players didn’t have the Black Gold System.
However, there were other ways to increase the combat strength of the troop.
The blacksmith shop could increase the physical attack of the troop.
The mage tower could increase the magic damage to the troop.
The rest of the buildings that could enhance the combat strength of the troop had not been officially announced. They needed to be explored independently.
There was a prerequisite for all of this. They needed a hero of the corresponding class to activate it.
It was very satisfying.
The corners of Richard’s mouth curled up slightly.
Moreover, as a hero unit with a potential A-rank, Adele could continue to grow.
The most significant difference between a hero and a soldier was this: A soldier’s strength was relatively fixed, and the skills mastered by leveling up would not change.
Only when the potential was increased could the skill level be increased.
A hero could freely learn skills only limited by the class.
The impact of skills on combat power had already been explained in several battles.
Moreover, heroes had a high degree of independence. They could even replace a lord leading a soldier in battle and could manage the territory.
The higher the potential of a hero, the higher the upper limit, and the rarer it was.
A hero like Adele could be trained to the late stages, and there was no need to worry about being eliminated.
However, Twilight City was currently a Level 1 village, so the building limit could only be upgraded to elite-level.
If Richard wanted to upgrade the blacksmith shop to advanced-level, he would need to activate the research and development function.
Twilight City needed to be upgraded to a small city.
However, he would need to upgrade it to a level 2 village and a level 3 village before it could be upgraded to a small city.
‘I need to upgrade my territory…’
Richard was deep in thought.
After turning off the system notification, he looked at the time and opened the [Trading Market].
A new notification appeared in the private message: [Two fragments of spring water had been sold.]
As a result, he now had eight fragments of spring water in his hands.
He needed two more fragments to synthesize medium-sized spring water, which would completely solve Twilight City’s water consumption problem.
However, the two transactions between the Russian olive forest and other resource treasures offered by desert horses remained silent.
However, resource treasures only provided a chance to open treasure chests with a 3-star level or higher. There was nothing wrong with having less time at this time.
Richard did not hesitate and sold the prey he had hunted today and the prey yesterday in exchange for 60,000 units of resources.
Then, without stopping, he bought 100 ordinary troop lairs and spent more than half of the harvest from the past two days.
After he had done everything, Richard went to the front yard of the Lord’s mansion. He placed the Axe of the Dead’s troop lair and the battle axe wooden house in the corner of the wall.
[Ding~ Do you want to use 4,000 units of wood, 4,000 units of stone, and 4,000 units of iron ore to build the battle axe wooden house?]
The resources needed to build an elite-level troop lair were 10 times more than those resources needed to build an ordinary-level troop lair.
Richard did not hesitate.
“Confirm.”
The next second, the miniature Battle Axe Wooden House expanded like a balloon.
After a dozen breaths, everything returned to normal.
The complete version of the Battle Axe Wooden House appeared before him.
The battle axe wooden house was three meters tall, and hundreds of bronze tomahawks hung on the outer wall. It looked like an armory.
There was a door in the middle of the battle axe wooden house. Through the door frame, one could see that the wooden house inside was also filled with tomahawks.
If there were only one word to describe this troop lair, it would be ‘fierce’.
[Battle Axe Wooden House (Elite 3-stars) — Using 10 elite-level desert troop lairs can upgrade it to Rare 3-stars.]
[Note: 10 ordinary lairs can be combined into one elite soldier nest to meet the upgrade requirements. Do you want to upgrade?]
“Confirm.”
The moment Richard chose, the 100 troop lairs piled up on the ground turned into a stream of light and merged into the battle axe wooden house.
The three-meter-tall wooden house immediately grew to 4 meters.
The bronze tomahawks hanging on the outer wall had faint silvery-white color. They looked pretty extraordinary.
[Level: Rare 3-star]
[Recruit Type: Axe of the Dead (Rare 3-stars)
[Recruit Quantity: 10]
[Weekly Output: 5]
[Recruitment Requirement: 400 gold coins, 400 units of wood, 400 units of iron ore]
[Description: Able to recruit undead soldiers with average combat strength.]
Not Bad, not bad at all.
Richard nodded in satisfaction.
A rare-level type of soldier.
It was only the first few days after entering the “Shining Era…”
Inner accomplishments starkly filled his heart.
However, the resources needed to recruit undead soldiers increased a lot. Recruiting a rare-level soldier required 1,200 units of resources.
Richard glanced at the attribute panel. Only 5,000 units were left after several rounds of consumption of food supplies.
It wasn’t even enough to recruit all of the undead axes.
“The landlord’s family doesn’t have any food left…”
He was in pain and happy at the moment.
Without hesitation, he got up and went to the warehouse to get a few hundred food units. He chose those high-priced food resources and sold them. He just had enough resources to recruit ten Axe of the Dead soldiers.
[Ding~ Do you want to spend 4000 gold coins, 4000 units of wood, and 4000 units of iron ore to recruit undead soldiers?]
After confirming it, the materials on the attribute panel were instantly emptied.
At that moment, silver-white energy appeared in the battle axe wooden house.
Then, the energy gathered crazily in the wooden house like a stirred cloud.
Under the condensation of the silver energy, a 2.2-meter-tall undead soldier wearing full-body armor with a black mandala pattern engraved on it walked out of the wooden house.
The undead soldier walked out of the wooden house and wore a helmet that only revealed the horns of an ox. The undead soldier did not have any weapons in his hands.
Just as Richard was puzzled…
The first-born undead soldier reached out from the tomahawks hanging on the outer wall of the wooden house and pulled out one.
‘Crack!’
The moment the tomahawk was held in its hand, a chain as thick as a thumb condensed out of thin air and finally wrapped tightly around his right arm.
An actual undead was born!
Richard couldn’t help but be envious when he saw this scene.
The appearance of these soldiers was more handsome and cool than the last one…
In the future, he would get a giant dragon. At that time, he would show what a real showoff would be.
When the ten undead soldiers appeared in the same way, Richard stretched out his right hand and began to mobilize the power in their bodies.
The system notification arrived as promised when the yellow sand-like light enveloped all the undead soldiers.
[Ding~ You have bestowed the undead soldiers an extraordinary power. They have obtained a D-rank skill: Desertification — Sand Transformation.]
After the light had dissipated, Richard opened the attribute panel with an expectant gaze.
[Axe of the Dead]
[Level: 3]
[Potential: Rare 3-stars]
[Skills: Body of the Dead (D-rank) — Immune to poison and plagues. Defense increases by 80%. The heart will not die if it is not destroyed.]
[Roar (D-rank) Attack power increases by 50% after roaring.]
[Swing (D-rank) After throwing the tomahawk, can use the chain wrapped around the arm to pull the tomahawk to carry out attacks continuously]
[Tomahawk Slash (C-rank) — Can throw a tomahawk within 30 meters to attack the enemy. The tomahawk can be retrieved through the chain on the arm and cause a massive amount of magic damage to the enemy.]
[Desertification — Sand Transformation (D-rank) Transforms the body to sand. Reduces 99% of physical attacks. Can swallow yellow sand to recover from injuries. Lasts for 5 minutes.
[Cooldown Time: 2 hours.]
[Race Talent: After the tomahawk is broken, it can be used to gather energy again.]
[Fetter-Tomahawk: When the tomahawk is thrown from 1 to 10 meters away, the damage increases by 20%.]
[When the tomahawk is thrown from 11 to 20 meters away, the damage dealt increases by 40%.]
[When the tomahawk is thrown from 21 to 30 meters away, the damage dealt increases by 60%.]
[Moreover, there is a 30% chance of triggering the Instant Death Skill (Soul Execution). It can directly kill the enemy. The stronger the enemy, the lower the chance of triggering the skill.]
[Description: Little darling, close your eyes. I’m going to throw the axe.]
[Body of the Dead (D-rank), Roar (D-rank), Swing (D-rank), Tomahawk Slash (C-rank), Desertification — Sand Transformation (D-rank).]
One C-rank skill and four D-rank skills.
Compared to the elite-level skills of the undead soldiers, it was a whole level higher!
What a guy! As expected of the soldier that he had set his eyes on.
The attributes were simply too powerful.
The difference in the potential of the soldiers was mainly due to the difference in skill level.
Low-potential soldiers had low skill levels and few additional attributes.
High-potential soldiers had high skill levels and powerful additional attributes.
It resulted in a huge difference in battle strength between high-potential and low-potential soldiers.
Richard smiled brightly.
The initial level of the undead soldiers was directly level 3.
After leveling up from elite to rare, he also comprehended a new skill — Swing.
This skill perfectly matched the Soul Execution skill of the Axe of the Dead soldiers—Tomahawk Slash.
Previously, he could only throw once, but now, he could control chain attacks.
The quality of battle strength had been improved.
This troop was surely his super trump card.
