Chapter 433 The Future of the Demon Hunting Corps
Vesemir's strength was indeed far behind that of Aylin, and the speed was very fast.
From Kaer Morhen, Vesemir alone blocked the tide of water ghosts rushing from the Suicide Lake, and Aylin could only hide behind him. When the evil god came two days ago, Vesemir could only follow the big griffin to block the returning corpse-eating creatures. The interval was only half a year.
Of course, when the evil god came, Vesemir did fight for him a lot and played a very important role.
But Vesemir would naturally feel the gap, feeling that he was slowly being eliminated and could not keep up with Aylin's pace.
As a master demon hunter, or a pure outstanding warrior, this is difficult to accept.
This is actually the problem that Aylin is gradually facing.
Because of the Demon Hunter's Notes, his strength has begun to have a gap with the people around him.
The enemies he is about to face, including wizards, wild hunters, and even white frost, are stronger than one another. It seems that bringing people around him is tantamount to murder.
Just like this time when the evil god came, he did not bring the young demon hunters of the Demon Hunting Corps.
But in fact, is the speed of improving the strength of Erni and others slow?
No!
Whether it is Erni, Kral, or even Clay and Spencer, they have far surpassed the level of an apprentice who has just come down from the mountain to travel.
In just one month, Clay, the weakest among the young demon hunters, has changed his hunting range from water ghosts to ghouls, and he easily killed three ghouls at once.
Erni can even be at ease in the multiple combinations of ghouls and rotten demons under the command of the giant ghoul.
This has completely reached the level of demon hunters who graduated from the Wolf School Travel Trial, and it is the relatively best batch among them.
Completing the five-year travel trial of a normal Wolf School demon hunter in one month, is this speed not fast enough?
Of course it is fast, but if you want to participate in the battles that Aylin will encounter in the future, it is not enough, far from enough.
So in the past two days, while improving the strength of the legion members through the record points, he has been thinking about the future positioning of Vesemir and the Demon Hunting Corps.
First of all,
It is definitely not feasible to rely on his own strength.
In the face of a large number of monsters, whether it is simply to eliminate monsters, or to protect the city and decapitation operations, it is difficult for one person to do it perfectly.
Even because of mortal eyes, fatigue, injury, and even lack of ability, it is very likely that the goal will not be achieved at all.
But with Vesemir and even the demon hunting army, guards, sorceresses and priests hunting with him to help him distract his attention, it can greatly increase the possibility of achieving it.
This has been proven in Ban Ade, Elland on May Day, and Mahakam a few days ago.
But Vesemir's strength is gradually falling behind, and the demon hunting army, guards, sorceresses and priests are completely not his personal strength.
Therefore, it is very necessary to improve Vesemir's strength, as well as the number and strength of his own demon hunting army.
After all, it is not always possible to encounter a situation where elite troops, sorceresses and priests can be gathered.
Secondly.
Vesemir and the Demon Hunting Corps have different positions.
Vesemir is a high-end force and should fight alongside Arryn or lead the team alone. He is already close to mastering the skills - swordsmanship and sigils - and Vesemir is even better than him in the same Wolf School skills.
Sword oil and potions can be fully used after a little adaptation, and the only thing lacking is the attribute.
Therefore, it is not difficult for Arryn to improve Vesemir's strength. He just needs to pile up heart essence and purification spirit.
Or he was planning to do this, and the heart essence of ten giant ghouls was prepared for him.
It's just because Vesemir used the purification spirit of the one-eyed ghost spirit last time, and the side effects were a bit big.
Although the heart essence of the giant ghoul improves strength and physique, rather than Vesemir's perception attribute that has reached the critical point, Arryn did not dare to let Vesemir use it when his condition was not fully recovered.
Otherwise, if there is a problem, Arryn will not be able to deal with it in the first time.
But now that he has recovered, he can start.
The young demon hunters of the Demon Hunting Corps are different from Vesemir.
They have neither sophisticated skills nor powerful attributes. But at the same time, the cost of their improvement is also the smallest.
It is impossible for Aylin to use the Corps's battle points to improve any of Vesemir's skills, even if Aylin incorporates Vesemir into the system of the Demon Hunting Corps.
Because upgrading simple skills, such as the Ice Spear Curse, does not help Vesemir's strength improvement much, there is no need to disrupt his mature combat system, and he can completely complement his shortcomings with the young demon hunters of the Corps.
And those skills that have been upgraded to a very high level, such as the Wolf School Two-handed Sword, Aylin does not have enough battle points to upgrade.
You must know that the Wolf School Two-handed Sword, LV1 upgrade to LV2 only requires 100 battle points, but with Vesemir's current LV7 skill level, it takes 100,000 battle points to upgrade to LV8.
10 battle points for a ghoul is 10,000 ghouls.
It only takes 4200 points to upgrade a blank demon hunter's Wolf School two-handed sword and six magic signs from LV1 to LV3.
It's totally unaffordable, so it's better to recruit more young demon hunters.
In fact, the only skills that really need to be upgraded as soon as possible are the Wolf School two-handed sword, which is the basic skill of the Wolf School, and the life-saving skills such as Quen's Sign and Ottrop's Sign.
The rest of the signs can be upgraded according to the preferences and talents of the demon hunters and the needs of the legion school.
Then the positioning of the Demon Hunting Corps is actually very clear.
They should be like the human coalition in the Advent of the Evil God and the guard knights in the May Festival, cleaning up the small fish and diverting the attention of the beast tide so that it does not affect the beheading target of Aylin and Vesemir...
Of course.
Aylin does not think that the Demon Hunting Corps can only do such marginal tasks.
[Resonance]
[Level: 2]
[Type: Legion Skill]
[Active effect: When the legion members use the same magic skill at the same time, the leader has a small chance to obtain controllable resonance, which increases the power and effect of the skill. ]
This is the skill unlocked after the second legion member Fred's favorability reaches the maximum value.
Aylin has always felt that this skill has great potential, and the legion members have been conducting relevant discipline, tacit understanding and synchronization training.
But I don't know whether the sign is not suitable for triggering "resonance" or the resonance itself is too low, so it has never succeeded.
But he did not give up trying.
The seal is not good, but the way of beast roar seems to be very suitable.
In the fantasy novels of the previous life, skills similar to resonance are mostly using sound as a medium to pry the elements of nature.
It's a pity that the young demon hunters are not optimistic about the progress of learning "Rage", so what kind of improvement resonance will bring is still unknown.
But the future is promising, isn't it?
Perhaps in the near future, the demon hunting corps that are proficient in resonance will become his trump card.
"There, grab it!"
Clay's noisy voice suddenly came from the front, interrupting Ailin's thinking.
He looked up and saw that there were only six or seven ghouls guarding a bloody cave that looked like a black bear's wintering cave, so he stopped.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry..."
"This is just mine!"
"Xiu, why did you steal my monster?"
"First come, first served!"
"Damn it! Ajax! Do you have to go against me?"
"Hahaha! Leave the ghouls to me, Klar. Save your Nina from having to heal you..."
"A! A! A! Si!"
...
The noisy voices of the young demon hunters made people feel relaxed for some reason.
But when I thought of these boys who were happily waving silver swords and killing among the hideous and roaring monsters, who were only eleven or twelve years old, Ailin felt an indescribable sense of separation in his heart.
Of course.
Not as heavy as when he first crossed over.
After all, he was used to the unique survival rules of this cruel world.
Becoming a demon hunter apprentice and going through many painful and dangerous trials was miserable, but it was not the worst fate an orphan could experience.
There were many children who were worse off than demon hunters throughout the northern continent.
There are abandoned child ditches in every village, and on the borders of Kaedwen and Aedirn, the bodies of children without clothes can be seen everywhere.
You are lucky to be able to decide your own fate with your own sword.
This is a world of bad things.
"Ding!"
[Monster group "Ghoul" Lv16 subjugation! ]

[Reward settlement: ...]
[Final rating: D (loot locked)]
[Loot obtained: Ghoul's heart essence * 6, small experience beads * 3, Ghoul's treasure chest * 2]
After glancing at the system prompt, Aylin opened the legion panel.
[Legion name: Wolves' Alliance]
[Level: Level 3]
[Record: 4890/5000 (+2780)]
[Record points: 5343 (+2780)]
[Members: 10/15]

[Ding! 584 points have been used to upgrade Clay (legion member) Otrope Sign LV1...]
[Ding! 583 points have been used to upgrade Ajax (legion member) Otrope Sign LV1...]
…
All Aylin can do is to make them stronger as soon as possible.
After all.
When the world dies in the white frost, no one can escape.
…
"Go back..."
Vesemir looked up at the sky and saw that the young demon hunter had finished processing the ghoul materials, so he turned his head to look at Aylin.
Aylin nodded, and with a thought, he gave Erni, who was walking towards him, an appraisal.
[Name: Erni]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Attributes: Strength 17 (+1), Agility 11 (+1), Constitution 15 (+1), Perception 19 (+1), Mysticism 10 (+2)]
[Skills: Wolf School Two-handed Sword LV3 (24/1000), Quen LV3 (76/1000), Otrope Sign LV3 (0/2500), Ice Spear Curse LV2 (16/500), Igni LV1 (76/100)...]
The attributes of other young demon hunters are roughly the same as Erni.
Although the Transfiguration Sealing Spell brought them a lot of trouble, the transformation into a jade statue seemed to stimulate the demon hunter's body after the transformation of the Green Grass Trial.
Not only Erni, but Kral and Clay also have about five to six points of total attribute growth.
In terms of skills, all demon hunters of Wolf School Two-handed Sword, Quen Sign and Otrope Sign have reached LV3. Basically, as long as they don't encounter large monsters or high-level wizards, they have a certain self-protection ability.
Some people who are talented in spells and signs like Erni will also have one or two more skills to reach LV2.
Basically, in terms of skill level, the seven young demon hunters have fully reached the level after the five-year journey trial, and can go down the mountain alone to accept tasks.
As for the four signs of Ice Spear Curse, Igni, Alder, Arden and Axi, he does not plan to improve them collectively like the two-handed sword, Quen and Ottrop, but arranges them according to the habits, talents and preferences of the young demon hunters.
For this, Ailin actually wants the young demon hunters to choose for themselves, but on the one hand, this will reduce the prestige of "The Eye of the Demon Hunter", and on the other hand, it will also make the young demon hunters dependent.
He actually wants to design some kind of task, like the Demon Hunter's Notes, to complete the task and exchange for "experience beads", but he has not figured out how to do it.
But there is no rush, after all, after this wave of upgrades, there are only 1248 battle points left, and it will take some time to accumulate.
The legion's level is only 110 battle points away from upgrading, which is 11 ghouls.
Maybe there will be a task system for upgrading from level 3 to level 4?
"Go back..."
Erni, who came closer, shook off the blood on his hands and just said two words.
The sky suddenly became cloudy.
"Screech--"
A huge pressure fell from the sky.
When everyone subconsciously looked up at the sky, a huge monster with wings spread fell from the sky.
Since the existence of the "good girl" has been exposed to everyone, Ailin will certainly not wrong himself anymore. He has been "flying" for free these days.
"......?" Under the strong pressure, Erni's face turned pale and he uttered the last word.
The demon hunters who came over didn't look good either.
"We can actually walk back..." Kral said.
"That's right," Ajax rarely refuted Kral instinctively, agreeing repeatedly, "It's too dangerous for the demon hunters to go back alone. We can protect them."
"Yes, yes, yes!" The other demon hunters nodded vigorously in response.
"We have already cleaned up this place, so where's the danger? The Demon Hunters have much more experience in dealing with monsters than you do." Ailin and Vesemir followed the drooping wings of the griffin and walked onto his back unhappily.
"Stop talking nonsense, come on, according to the number of monsters hunted today, hold on to your position and tie yourself up with belts."
The young demon hunter saw that he couldn't escape, so he grabbed the good girl's slender toes with a bitter face, and buckled the iron ring-shaped tool tied to the toes in advance with a belt, with a weird posture.
"Li~"
The big griffin shouted twice in discomfort.
"Captain, the good girl seems to be uncomfortable too, how about..."
"Stop talking nonsense, hold on," Ailin rolled his eyes, "When we return to the temple, there is a surprise waiting for you..."
"What surprise--"
The young demon hunter didn't finish a word, and turned into a scream in the wind.
