Chapter 95: Field Unit Recruitment Nest
This hunter is simply a ruthless killing machine, the most efficient executioner. If he mingles with the knights and goes on a rampage on the battlefield, the damage he alone can inflict can rival the entire Mage Corps of the territory.
This greatly enhances the melee unit's output capability in the territory.
The core troops of the territory are the Sun Flame Knights and the Black Banner Guard. One is a heavily armored walking knight, and the other is a spear and shield guard, neither primarily focused on damage output.
But with a hunter mixed among these people, it's different. As an expert swordsman who has entered the Dao, killing one person within ten steps is an insult to him; striking down a hundred ghosts with one blade is his normal standard.
With this hunter's addition, Lin Rui even had the urge to hunt giant dragons for the first time.
His only flaw is that among his six epic traits, none boost defense!
So, his Life Value as a Tier Four Warrior is just a bit more than half of Lin Rui's as a Tier Three Mage.
Yet this isn't without its advantages. The advantage is that he's extremely easy to go berserk. He possesses the protagonist's classic low-health burst ability, where Life Value below 1% locks health for 3 seconds; during these 3 seconds, he is like a god.
Combined with his Bright Mirror Stilled Water skill, he is uncontrollable and guaranteed to critically strike. Within these three seconds, even if the opponent is the Great Unclean One, they will be hacked into flying rotten flesh by him.
Moreover, within this 3-second duration, the opponent can only withstand the assault and absolutely cannot heal themselves. Under the Desperate Dawn trait, if the opponent uses healing measures to restore their health, they'll suffer a Blade of Despair attack, taking 15% of the hunter's total damage as True Damage.
He's forcing the opponent to face him one-on-one to the death, using a man's sword to determine the fate of both sides.
But how is such a guy who enters the Dao with a sword, with no women in his heart and naturally divine when drawing his sword, such a flamboyant, frivolous character?
If this guy could refrain from indulging in women, wouldn't he be more than just epic-level?
Su Ye didn't know Lin Rui's thoughts; at this moment, he was cheering excitedly with his arm raised: "Ah, Lord, I really love this territory so much, with so many beauties. This must be paradise, right?"
[Ding, the Explorer's behavior generated an encouragement effect, Celestial Punishment Hunter Su Ye's loyalty +20]
"I'm relying on you, Lord. Please keep resisting Sadomasochism a while longer so I can gallop freely in this paradise."
As he spoke, he had already sidled up to the large-breasted elf beauty Yennefer, but clearly, talking too much significantly diminished his charm, even if he was an epic-level Tier Four expert. He failed to pique the interest of this busty beauty, and Yennefer was notably indifferent to his advances.
"Lord, I've returned as well." A thick, deep voice arose behind the crowd.
Lin Rui immediately turned with a smile; it was Terion speaking.
This hero is one of the territory's few upright characters, although as a priest, he's often in the forefront with a big hammer, appearing more like a fanatic of Terror than the champion of Terror, but he's ultimately less unrestrained than a Sadomasochism devotee.
Lin Rui asked, "How's the cleanup going, is it smooth?"
"Smooth as silk, Lord." Terion laughed heartily, spirited: "I absolutely love this kind of life, with battles at every moment. For a while, I'll be actively clearing out nearby monsters, chopping all those weird creatures into pieces."
"Are there enough soldiers? All newly trained Black Guard Army in the territory will be assigned to you. I've also filtered out a few Tier Two soldiers, and they've been sent to the Black Banner Army Camp for training. It won't be long before the Black Banner Guard will form a substantial size."
"I'm really looking forward to that day, Lord. I've also found a few recruitment scrolls, though they're not Human Race units."
Lin Rui took these recruitment scrolls from Terion. There were Ogre units, Underground City units, and Elf units, with tiers ranging from Tier One to Tier Four.
"Pretty good, just right for bartering with other territories. If we rely only on ourselves, we might never complete the Divine Watch Knight."
Lin Rui then handed these recruitment scrolls to the territory's civilian servant, Soro, instructing: "Enhance them twice under the Goddess Pendulum, then put them on the trading market. The purchase condition is barter only, exchangeable for Knight's Heart and long halberd and fierce armor."
Enhancing the scrolls twice can maximize the scrolls' value, essentially using ordinary resources to directly purchase the more precious recruitment scrolls. This is the maximized utilization of the territory's resources.
Once everyone gathered, Lin Rui redistributed the troops.
Life Sacrifice Yvette was assigned under Hannah's command, while Tier Three Mage Weige, Yennefer, and that Tier Two elf Muscle Bully Mage Kipulin were all bolstered under this Little Enchanting Demon's hand.
To compensate Terion's lack of ranged attack, Tier Three Rare Level Flame Mage Schwartz was assigned to him.
After troop distribution, the three teams embarked from the territory, continuing to purge all monsters around the vicinity, as Terion suggested, making the territory's immediate area a safe haven.
At near dawn, Lin Rui's personal chat channel suddenly sounded with a prompt.
Dongg Qingxue: "Hey, sorry to bother you, you're not asleep, right?"
"No, what's up? Did someone encounter danger?"
"No, no. It's just we discovered a wild recruitment nest here."
