Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 149 Praying to the Lord
Bai Shi sat on Stonewell's throne after a long absence.

He supported his head with his left hand and fiddled with the black horn looted from the Night Riders with his right hand.

Almost every team of the Horned Night Cavalry had one, and they collected seven or eight of them after this battle.

It sounds quite loud when blown, maybe it can be distributed to the troops.

However, maybe we can attract the Night Cavalry when we assemble the troops?
With this in mind, I decided to ask the craftsmen to do it individually.

The white consciousness is not afraid of the night cavalry. Just blow the horn to call them over and kill them together.

But his troops couldn't face the Night Riders as easily as he did.

Bai Shi threw the horns aside and thought about the information that the Night Cavalry had now revealed.

First up was the large Night Rider with ominous horns on his head.

He has horns on his body, and uses yellow-black cursed blood flames and can summon cursed souls.

Apparently, he was one of the royal sons of bad omen.

Plus, he was obviously the leader of this group of night cavalry.

Now that I think about it, he should be one of Monget's confidants.

The strength is good, and the cursed blood and cursed soul of the evil omen are things that require extra caution.

When Monget led the Night Riders, his identity was the 'evil omen' Markit.

The Night Riders don't care about the bad omen, so it's normal to recruit other children of the bad omen into the army.

Considering their identities, they are quite close.

Although Monget's true identity is the faceless Rodel 'King of Blessing'.

However, he can only show his true appearance when he acts under the false identity of "evil omen demon" Markit.

If you think about it carefully, it's really a bit ironic.

Bai Shi was also surprised at the number of Night Cavalry.

Especially this time, more than fifty riders were caught.

There are quite a lot of Night Cavalry.

Nearly eighty riders who were sent to Nimgefu alone had been killed by them.

At first, Bai Shi killed ten of them, and then the Furnace Knights killed another ten or so. In this battle, more than fifty were killed.

Considering the strength of the Night Cavalry, Mongt definitely suffered a loss this time.

Although the individual strength of the Night Riders is not very strong, they make up for it in numbers and cooperation.

The more than eighty night cavalrymen who were killed at Nimgefu would definitely be a sharp knife on the battlefield.

Mongert probably just asked them to come to Nimgfu to harass them, so there was no large-scale attack, but he just kept preventing the Faded Ones from going to Stonewell.

As a result, because they wanted to surround and kill Bai Shi, they ended up destroying themselves.

There are not many powerful Kalia Knights and Crucible Knights.

Each of them has less than twenty people at most, and they are completely elite troops.

But because of this, each of them is a hero who can fight against a hundred people alone.

Although the Night Riders have basically just reached the hero level, their numbers are sufficient, which is their greatest advantage.

It was impossible for Mungert to send all of his Night Cavalry to Nimgefu.

Then the actual number of the Night Cavalry is quite terrifying.

Even if Mungert only sent half of his total Night Cavalry, his remaining eighty-odd Night Cavalry would be invincible on the battlefield.

And there was no way to estimate how many Night Riders he had.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Stonewell's terrain was difficult for the Night Riders to perform, and they didn't bring any logistics and siege equipment.

Otherwise, Bai Shi felt that if he left, they would even have a chance to defeat Stonewell.

And it's not just the Night Riders.

The strength of the royal city is indeed strong. Among all the remaining camps, it has the highest number of people and quality.

There are other troops in the royal city, including tree guards, gargoyles, and Rodel Knights.

As well as a series of powerful weapons such as golems, catapults, various scented arrows, etc.

After this battle, Bai Shi decided to continue developing.

Judging from the quantity and quality of the army, it will probably take a very long time to go to war with the royal city.

At least we have to wait until all the Faded Ones under our command are transformed into an army.

Moreover, the lack of high-end combat power is also a problem.

Apart from Bai Shi, the most capable fighters under his command now are Elissa and the two Crucible Knights.

The three of them were of similar strength, and were all powerful among the heroes, but there were still too few of them.

As for the rest, the strongest force under Bai Shi is still the Storm Knights.

Storm Knights are basically the top level among knights.

There are also a few individuals among the Storm Knights who have reached the level of heroes.

But the number is not enough, only more than thirty people.

The number of Dragon Blood Knights and Silver Knights is large enough that they can fight on the front battlefield.

However, the training time is still short, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future, which requires time to settle.

This time, the Silver Knights successfully took advantage of their range and shot the Night Knights into hedgehogs.

But that doesn't mean they can fight against the Night Cavalry now.

First of all, the Night Cavalry were already in a trend of dispersing and fleeing.

During the previous battle, Bai Shi had left them with more or less injuries.

Secondly, in terms of numbers, Bai Shi arranged for more than a hundred silver cavalrymen to leave Stonewell and go there to surround them.

A fleeing Night Knight would have to face the longbows of more than a dozen Silver Knights, and also have the help of Furnace Knights and Storm Knights to contain them.

The Night Riders also did not expect that Bai Shi would set up an ambush.

Being caught off guard by the ambush, he was naturally shot into a hedgehog.

The longer arms beat the shorter arms, the earlier arms beat the later arms, and by using the advantage of numbers to bully the fewer, it was naturally easy to defeat them.

If it really is a confrontation, I'm afraid the situation won't be good.

Bai Shi sighed.

Alas, developing power is a long and arduous journey.

But he has been a little anxious recently. After all, not much time has passed since he took over Stonewell.

Forget it, just think about the happy things.

Although Bai Shi used Wind Spirit Moon Shadow twice this time, the Night Cavalry also brought Bai Shi a considerable number of Runes.

Each of the Night Riders generally has around 7,000 runes, and some with higher numbers can have as much as 8,000.

Although a few of them were killed by the Furnace Knights while escaping, the vast majority were killed by Bai Shi.

With 5 times the number of runes, so many Night Cavalry brought Bai Shi a huge sum of more than million runes.

In the remaining time, Bai Shi also squeezed out the runes that he had collected on his body, about 300,000 runes in total.

Adding on the runes accumulated from the last upgrade to this one, including the Night Cavalry, Yakir and the like, there are more than 100,000 runes.

Bai Shi now has a total of more than 1.8 million and nearly 1.9 million runes on him.

More than the last time I fought Greg.

How should I put it? Although facing an enemy with fewer runes, once the number increases, it will make up for the difference in rune quantity. If Bai Shi is willing to put down his bottom line, he can use methods such as massacring the city.

Then I'm afraid that in a very short time, we will have the strength to unify the border area.

An ordinary resident has fifty or sixty runes, while trained soldiers and knights have hundreds or thousands of runes depending on their strength.

Small amounts add up to a lot, and use quantity to make up for these quality disadvantages.

After all, once a storm strikes, basically all the weak people in an area will be killed.

However, Bai Shi's moral bottom line is still quite high, and he would never do such a thing.

What Bai Shi wants is to turn the border area into a peaceful and harmonious place.

The residents in the border area have suffered enough, and it would be inhumane to torment them further.

Stopping thinking about these things, Bai Shi started thinking about upgrading.

With so many runes this time, it is conservatively estimated that I can upgrade to another twenty levels.

But if you spread it out to the various attributes to be added, there aren't actually that many.

Bai Shi hasn't decided yet how to add the points.

Now there is no need to add points to Life, Endurance, Strength and Agility for the time being.

Under the effect of the Great Rune, while the body size increases, the other attributes brought by the Great Rune will be distributed to the body.

That is to say, on the basis of the original, an additional 7 attributes brought by Great Rune are added, instantly turning it into a numerical monster.

Therefore, Bai Shi is now selecting several other attributes, looking for the appropriate ones to add now.

It would be nice to have some more focus.

The more magic power you have, the more magic and combat skills you can unleash.

White Consciousness can now summon a storm with a very wide range and powerful destructive power, but it is not often used because it consumes too much mana.

Then Bai Shi became confused about whether to add magic or faith.

Finally decided to add some faith.

As for magic, his intelligence is already quite high, and a few points of improvement in a short period of time will not be significant.

More advanced magic, such as Comet Azrael and Star Shower, requires fifty to sixty points of intelligence.

I have learned all the magic that I should learn, and these are the only magics that can be learned.

Ceria already has all of her night magic in her hands. Eternal Darkness requires 35 intelligence points, while the Night Comet with the highest intelligence requires 38 points.

Baishi's current intelligence is 30 points, plus the 7 points brought by Darun, it has 37 points in total.

Although he could wait to collect Rune Arcs to allow the Great Rune to add a little more attributes, Bai Shi did not intend to wait and directly added a little intelligence.

In this way, all the magic in Selia Town can be learned.

The magic that Bai Shi currently possesses includes:

The basic magic of the magic academy, the basic magic of Kalia given by Lani, and the magic of Seria.

In terms of magic, there won't be much improvement in a short period of time.

So Bai Shi turned his attention to faith.

Although the faith is not high, but including the 7 points of Big Rune, there are 16 points.

If we add a few more points this time, we can reach 20 or 30 points.

Bai Shi had previously analyzed Yakir's heart through the power of the Great Rune.

The basic dragon prayers, including dragon breath, dragon claws, dragon bite, and Yakir's flame, have all been mastered.

Now you can use it as long as you increase your faith points.

Moreover, by turning on Faith, Bai Shi can also learn other prayers.

Bai Shi has played the role of Prayer before. Prayer is no joke. He can fight and heal, and his output is high.

For example, the classic buffs such as the oath on the golden tree and the fire that gives me strength.

As well as prayers that buff weapons including the Holy Law Blade, Black Flame Blade, Thunder Weapon and Unchanging Shield.

It can be considered an attribute that can bring higher returns in the short term.

Soon, Bai Shi also finalized the upgrade plan.

Intelligence increased by 1 point, reaching 38.

Faith points: 14, increase to 30.

I put all the remaining Runes into concentration, adding 11 points to 40.

This time, Bai Shi directly raised his level from level 95 to level 121.

Then add in the 7 points of all attributes brought by Great Rune, and 5 points each of life, endurance, agility, and strength from Radagon's Corruption Mark.

The properties of white consciousness are now as follows:
Life 52 points, Concentration 40 points, Endurance 35 points, Strength 42 points, Agility 33 points, Intelligence 38 points, Faith 30 points, Induction 14 points.

Apart from the less understood attribute of sensing, Bai Shi can already be regarded as a low-end bucket number, or a cup number?
Bai Shi arrived at the square in front of the throne.

The Holy Mark of Dragon Feast appeared on the back of his hand, and then Bai Zhi infused magic power into it.

The image of the flying dragon Yakir naturally emerged in my mind.

An illusory head of Yakir also appeared behind Bai Shi, and hot dragon breath spewed into the sky.

Although magic power is consumed drastically, the power is indeed quite good.

Bai Shi made the illusory dragon head spit out flames while controlling the storm to sweep over the flames.

In an instant, a giant fire tornado appeared in the square, burning the floor tiles into a charred color.

Bai Shi then tried to use the storm to carry the flames to a farther place or to spread the fire.

Bai Shi felt the power of the flame and nodded.

This will be more useful in clearing out miscellaneous soldiers and using storms to divide the battlefield.

Later, I will find people from Red Lion City to learn how to add flames to weapons.

By then, with the original thunder attribute of the sword and spear, he will also be able to use the Thunder and Fire Sword.

Bai Shi started to think, how is the attribute of faith calculated?

Obviously he had no faith in the power behind these prayers, but as long as he clicked on the attributes, he could use them.

Bai Shi always felt something was strange.

I knew too little before, and I was always in a survival crisis, so I had no time to think.

Now that I have greater strength and no longer have to worry about protecting myself, more questions arise.

Bai Shi looked up at the sky.

What is going on here? Could it be the Supreme Will?

Then Bai Shi shook his head, thinking that it would be useless to explore these things now.

In this case, it is better to find some realistic goals.

For example, he could go and seek revenge against the magic academy that had harassed him before.

Mongett is in a hostile relationship with him, and the Magic Academy should just continue to be a coward, but why does it have to get involved?

Moreover, he had previously asked the town of Selia to attack him, and it seemed that he was quite aware of Bai Shi's actions.

Speaking of which, Bai Shi was still very curious as to why the Magic Academy wanted to cause trouble for him.

So after a night's rest, Bai Shi left Stoneweir again.

This time Bai Shi set out on the road to Lienia.

　The previous settings have been changed a bit. The size of the Great Rune is now the four items that improve the physical body.
