Warhammer in a box

Chapter 19 Soldier Levels and Skills

Gurman strangled the fleeing orcs, and the defenders also rushed out of the city to reap their military merits.

In the end, only three or four hundred orcs managed to escape into the dense forest, and the corpses of the remaining orcs covered the land in front of Terra City.

I don’t know who was the first to shout “We won,” but then there was thunderous cheers.

No one thought that they would actually win this impossible war. Two thousand humans against more than three thousand orcs, most of whom were temporary recruits. This victory is worth being praised even in the entire Old World.

The victory of this battle was not only due to faith and Zhang Heng's God's perspective, but more importantly, it was because the technological weapons brought by Marcus' team killed the key enemies.

It turns out that technology is the primary productive force!
After the excitement, there was a overwhelming feeling of exhaustion. After all, they were not regular soldiers who had been trained for years. Most of them could not help but sit down on the ground. Many of them began to cry with their faces covered. Although they won, eight hundred people were killed in this battle, and the rest were injured.

"Marcus, we won. Fortunately, you came to help us, otherwise we would not have won this war." Ludwig said with a look of relief.

"You don't need to thank us. The Emperor's will is our mission. We must protect the city He wants us to protect, even if it costs us our lives."

Listening to Marcus' words, Ludwig nodded in agreement.

Loyal, so loyal!
"After this war, the survivors will always regard this place as their home, because they have shed blood and even sacrificed their lives here."

This is indeed the case. Zhang Heng felt very sad when he saw the devastated Terra City in the box. Games are games. It doesn't matter how many NPCs die in the game. You can just recruit more. At most, you can just reload the game and start all over again.

At this time, the little people in the box were already living beings in Zhang Heng's eyes, and the 800 dead humans could never be resurrected.

"Ah" Zhang Heng couldn't help but sigh.

However, the double-headed eagle symbols on the heads of these little men were almost terrifyingly solid. As these symbols became more solid, the power of faith began to emanate from these little men again and entered Zhang Heng's body, which made the originally weak Zhang Heng energetic again.

As these villains believed in Zhang Heng more and more, Zhang Heng could start to see the soldier level next to the villain's double-headed eagle logo.

There was originally nothing next to most of the new recruits' logos, but as the battle ended, one or two brass bars appeared next to their logos, and almost all of the veterans' logos turned into silver bars, which represented the fighting power of these little guys.

The box and Zhang Heng allowed them to skip training and directly improve their combat effectiveness.

Bronze bars, silver bars, and finally gold bars. Four gold bars are the pinnacle of a specific type of soldiers. The higher the level, the stronger the combat effectiveness will be, and it can even crush lower-level similar troops.

Without the knowledge of these little people, the power from the rules directly made them much stronger in physical fitness and combat effectiveness.

For a few people other than the new recruits, the symbol next to them is no longer the bronze and silver bars representing rank, but the number 1.

Among these people were Zhang Heng’s chosen one Ludwig, the captain of the Imperial Knights Gurman, and the young soldier Bourne who shot Tuke.

There is a conspicuous "1" on the heads of the three men.

Zhang Heng couldn't wait to immerse himself in it, and soon the skill panel reappeared.

Just like the skill panel in the game, there are yellow, red and blue lines. The yellow line is the personal line, which can enhance the individual's strength in all aspects, while the red line is the military line, which can enhance the ability to lead troops in battle, and the blue line is some special effects, such as marching speed and the ability to manage cities. Obviously, Zhang Heng has no use for the blue line now.

There should be spell skill lines and special lines, but Ludwig is not a spellcaster so there is no spell line. The special line is in a locked state at this time. Zhang Heng wanted to check but found that there was no display. It is obvious that it can only be unlocked when the level is high enough.

Looking at Ludwig's skill panel, Zhang Heng has already figured out where to add points to Ludwig. He is in great need of a general who can stand on his own.

I also checked the skill lines of Gurman and Bourne. Gurman also has a standard skill tree, and Bourne is unsurprisingly a template of a hunter general.

Zhang Heng was not in a hurry to add points directly. He was already prepared to do it during the celebration ceremony after the war. Since he was going to play the role of a god, he would play it to the end. Giving them power in front of everyone could steadily consolidate a wave of faith.

The people in the city of Terra dragged their exhausted bodies and began to clean up the corpses. The orc corpses were piled together and cremated together. If these orc corpses were left outside, an entire orc tribe might grow out of the ground at any time.

Orcs are terrifying war machines that look like living creatures but are actually plants. Their reproductive ability is really terrifying.

These soldiers who died bravely in battle were buried together in the same piece of land. At that time, resources in the city of Terra were tight, so everything had to be kept simple, like leaving their corpses exposed in the wilderness.

Zhang Heng sent a message to Ludwig, saying that he would personally bless the heroes in the square tonight. Soon the news spread throughout the city of Terra.

The sky darkened again.

And on the square of Terra, towering fires were crackling.

People sat around the fire, talking and laughing as they ate the food Zhang Heng fed them. To celebrate, Zhang Heng not only put food but also a little beer. Wine brewed from grain is a rare thing, and this made people who usually could only drink some low-quality rye or wine mixed with who knows how much water, exclaimed that it was so satisfying.

Marcus and his Cadian team were also sitting around a fire, eating delicious food and drinking beer, which made them unable to help but relax.

"Captain Marcus, how long has it been since we were so relaxed?" Ferrer said jokingly, stuffing another piece of braised beef into his mouth.

"I don't know, maybe there haven't been any since I joined the commando team. Maybe eight years? Or maybe ten years." Marcus seemed to be recalling the past. As he spoke, he threw one laser rifle battery after another into the fire. This was the only way to charge the laser rifle here.

"Yeah, compared to where we are, this place seems like a paradise! There are so many delicious foods and drinks, I don't want to eat those starch blocks and canned ant bull food anymore! Hey, hey, hey, boy Bourne! Come here!" Ferrer shouted to Bourne who was feasting not far away.

"I'm here, Lord Ferrer!" Bourne trotted over to Marcus and the others, but still had a large piece of bread in his mouth.

"Captain Marcus! Let me tell you, this kid is really talented! If he were in our team, he would definitely be a good prospect!" Ferrer laughed and put his arm around Bourne's shoulders.

Bourne asked curiously, "Master Ferrell, Master Marcus, what is your place like? Do you have everything you need? Is this where the great God Emperor stays? Do you know what the God Emperor looks like?!"

"Hahahaha, you definitely don't want to go there, Bourne. I tell you, we didn't protect our homeland well and left a lifetime of regret. But you! You must protect this place well. The Emperor is the brightest, tallest, and most majestic person in your mind!"

Although Bourne seemed to understand what they said, he saw a look of loss on Marcus and the others' faces when they mentioned their homes.

"Don't worry, everyone! I will definitely protect this place!"

"Hahahaha, not bad, not bad! You're a good guy! Let's have a drink! Praise the Emperor!"

"Praise the Emperor~"
