Chapter 644 Exaggerated Harvest
Payne is not stupid, so naturally he would not do this. Then, these ten dark warriors must have a cheaper transformation method!
Seeing Shang Ji looking at him suspiciously, Payne quickly explained: "My lord, don't worry, just listen to my subordinates!"
It turned out that after getting Shang Ji's permission, Payne hurried to collect the corpses of Xianbei soldiers who died in battle. Because of insufficient self-awareness, it was impossible to convert all the corpses into undead within the shelf life, so Payne started directly with the highest-level corpses.
The corpse with the highest value is of course the Xianbei general who died in battle. However, the combat power of the military generals in Pingzhou is much higher than that of Xianbei.
After transforming the corpses of a few generals, Payne turned his attention to the high-ranking soldiers of the Templar Legion. The few eighth-rank Templar Legion naturally became Payne's first choice.
Ordinary eighth-level corpses can only be transformed into seventh-level undead death warriors or death knights (provided that they were knights during their lifetime, and the horse corpses are roughly intact), but Payne was pleasantly surprised to find that an ordinary eighth-level corpse The corpses of the soldiers turned into dark warriors!
After confirming that he didn't suddenly become a necromancer with a sudden surge in strength, Payne, as a qualified necromancer, naturally had to study the reason for this situation.
After careful study for a long time, and after experimenting with many corpses, Payne finally found the reason.
All the corpses that can be directly transformed into dark warriors have a common feature, that is, they have taken the Magic Leopard Pill before they were alive, and they were killed before the effect of the Magic Leopard Pill completely dissipated.
The problem is very clear, the cause of the accident is Magic Leopard Pill!
According to Payne's explanation, whether it is eighth, seventh, sixth or fifth rank (there is nothing lower, soldiers below the fifth rank are not even qualified to take the Magic Leopard Pill), as long as they take the Magic Leopard Pill Dan and the efficacy of the medicine has not been completely lost, then the transformed undead are all undead leaders of the same level (equivalent to generals).
Payne was almost driven crazy by this discovery. For necromancers, undead bosses who can assist in command are much more precious than high-level undead soldiers.
Non-stop transforming several soldiers who met the requirements into dark warriors, Payne came to offer treasures.
"It's a good thing, but Payne, what are you going to do next?"
Asked by Shang Ji, Payne was suddenly stunned. After thinking about it carefully, this discovery really cannot be replicated on a large scale.
The first point is that the Magic Leopard Pill is very valuable, and this method of cultivating undead leaders is very expensive. Secondly, it is only effective if you are killed when you take it before your death and the effect is not exhausted. Where can I find so many enemy troops who have Magic Leopard Pills and are very cooperative?
If in the past, he captured a prisoner who refused to surrender, forced to feed him a magic leopard pill and then killed him, it would also help Payne transform the undead leader.
But now Shangji has the Golden Condor, which can force it to surrender. A living high-ranking soldier is worth far more than an undead of the same rank. There is no doubt about this, and Shang Ji will no longer lose the big for small things.
After thinking about it carefully, Payne was suddenly disappointed. He thought he had found a shortcut, but unexpectedly, his joy was in vain.
"Pain, since the Magic Leopard Pill can help transform the undead, do you know the specific principle?"
Payne shook his head in confusion, how could Payne have time to research after such a long time? What's more, even if he has enough time, he may not be able to research it.
There is no such thing as elixir in magic civilization, even if there is, it is an alchemy potion. Although in many cases the effects are roughly the same, alchemy potions and elixir are two completely different things.
It would be too difficult for someone like Payne, who has never been in contact with elixirs, to directly study such high-level elixirs as the Magic Leopard Pill.
"Here are three Magic Leopard Pills and one Blood Demon Pill. Take them back and study them. However, the battle is tense right now, and the most urgent task is to form an army of undead. After the war is over, I will send a full-time alchemist to assist you in your research! "
While talking, Shang Ji took out four pills and handed them to Payne.
"Thank you, my lord, I will obey my lord's orders at the end!" Payne quickly took the pill and said loudly.
After sending Payne away, Shang Ji closed his eyes and adjusted his breath to adjust his state. The plan to assault Dragon City was the result of his persistence, and he was naturally under a lot of pressure during the period. At present, the battle of Dragon City has come to an end for the time being, and Shang Ji also has time to make some adjustments.
"My lord, my lord!"
Shang Ji suddenly heard someone calling himself, and suddenly woke up with a jolt. But he saw Guo Biao standing in front of him, looking at him with a little worry.
"Uncle Wu, is there something wrong?"
"My lord, all the generals have returned, when do you think the meeting will be held?"
Shang Ji was startled when he heard the words, and looked up, but saw that the window had been shrouded in night, and a little bit of starlight could still be seen through the window.
"I fell asleep sitting up???"
Shang Ji touched his face in disbelief, then raised his head and asked Guo Biao, "Uncle Wu, how long have I been asleep?"
"My lord, forgive me. I really don't know about this. When I saw my lord sitting on the seat, I thought my lord was practicing."
"How long has Payne been away?"
"It's been about two hours since Archmage Payne left."
"Two hours?" Shang Ji frowned slightly when he heard this, got up and stretched, and felt a sense of refreshment all over his body, and his whole face glowed. The exhaustion caused by long-distance marches and continuous fierce battles was swept away, and it felt like a breakthrough in practice.
"The generals have arrived? Don't keep them waiting, we will go too." Putting aside the doubts in his mind for the time being, Shang Ji got up and said.
Guo Biao quickly responded, and went to a meeting room in the city lord's mansion together with Shang Ji.
In addition to Tai Shici who was ordered to reflect, the senior generals of the Pingzhou Army, Xi Zhicai and others gathered together. Seeing Shang Ji's arrival, everyone immediately got up and saluted: "I have seen the lord (general)!"
"Sit down! Sit down! No need to be polite!"
Shang Ji waved his hand and signaled everyone to sit down.
"After all the generals fought bloody battles with more than 200,000 soldiers, we finally succeeded in capturing Xianbei Dragon City. For this, I would like to express my thanks and congratulations to you all!"
"It's all thanks to the Lord's power, I dare not take credit for it!" Everyone got up again and said modestly.
"The battle is urgent, so we don't want to be modest here. Get straight to the point, brother, please read the general situation of this battle to everyone first."
Liu Yi got up when he heard the words, coughed lightly and said, "From the time when our army separated from the main group, so far, more than 23,000 soldiers of our army have died in battle, including 1,800 generals of all levels. The person who died in battle with the highest official rank was Yufeng, the school lieutenant of Feifeng Huqi, who was a super-class military general during his lifetime.
In addition, the highest battle loss rate among the various legions is the Feifenghuoqi, with a total of 3,000 soldiers, from Yu Feng Xiaowei and below, more than 1,400 people were killed in battle, more than 300 people were seriously injured, and more than half of them were reduced! "
As Liu Yi said, the look of Su Huan next to him suddenly became much darker. Feifeng Huoqi was mainly transformed from Youlong Bowrider, and they were basically elites brought out by him himself. He has a very close relationship with Yu Feng, so it is inevitable that he will feel sad.
"Tuk tuk!"
Shang Ji tapped the table lightly, and said in a deep voice: "This battle is full of dangers. I decided to start from separating from the main army until joining the main force. During this period, all the dead in the battle will be tripled in compensation, and the merits of the battle will be calculated at three times. .”
"My lord is wise!"
As soon as Shang Ji's words fell, there was a sound of praise immediately.
"During this battle, our army broke through a king-level city for the first time, killed more than 126,000 enemies (more than half of them were militias brought in temporarily, and included the result of summoning Suzaku twice), and captured more than 74,000 enemies. People (the militia also accounted for the majority). There are also more than 43,000 troops in the army, and more than ten high-ranking Xianbei generals anyway. Simply counting the number of troops, our army has increased a lot.”
At the end of speaking, Liu Yi gave a wry smile and shrugged helplessly.
Although the statistics are correct, in terms of overall combat power, the 80,000 Xianbei army servants are not as good as the 20,000 dead Pingzhou army!
"Tell me about the harvest of this trip!"
As soon as the harvest was mentioned, everyone's ears immediately perked up, and they looked at Chen Guan who was in charge of the statistics of the spoils with burning eyes. When Shang Ji persuaded everyone to carry out the raid plan, the most important point was the prosperity of Dragon City. Whether he can realize his original wish of quadrupling the military expenditure depends on today!
"Combining our captures on the battlefield and in the Dragon City treasury, our army has obtained a total of 130,000 cheat books of various types, and more than 2,800 cheat books of human level and above. 1.2 million sets of sophisticated equipment, 100 forged There are 410,000 sets of armor-level suits and 90,000 sets of iron-level suits. There are 19,600 sets of silver-level and Jinyao-level suits in total. There are 6,900 sets of weapons and equipment props above Jinyao level. One hundred and sixty-seven pieces, twenty-two pieces of heaven-level equipment.
In addition, there are countless supplies such as grain, wood, ore, medicinal materials, jewelry, etc., and a detailed list will be sent later, so I will not repeat them here. "
"As for the cash harvest..." Chen Guan paused, his expression distorted, and he said in a trembling voice: "So far, our army has discovered more than 2.8 billion gold in total!"
"Ahem!"
"Cough cough cough!!"
"How much...how much...how much?!!"
There was a loud coughing sound in the hall, even Shang Ji was startled by this number and trembled all over. He stared at Chen Guan dumbfounded, his eyes full of suspicion.
"As of now, not counting any material gains, our army has confiscated a total of 2.836 billion gold!"
"How...how...could there be so many???"
Looking at Chen Guan's firm expression, Shang Ji still felt a little unbelievable.
His ideal psychological expectation for harvesting floating wealth in the Dragon City treasury is one billion gold, and a low of 800 million gold is also acceptable. But now it has tripled directly. The surprise came so suddenly that Shang Ji couldn't believe it.
Are all Xianbei people so rich? ! !
