Devil's Doom Row

Chapter 434 The Last Calm Before the Storm

The uncontrollability of the Misery Pool has always caused Luo Ming a headache. For example, the mutant skeleton archer, as a long-range unit, the most important attribute of the skeleton archer is only the attack power. As long as the attack power is high enough, it can There is enough threat, but there is no single attribute of any unit. In this case, even if the skeleton archer successfully completes the baptism of the suffering pool, he may not be able to get the desired attribute.

Obviously, although the Misery Pool is powerful, the price of the soldiers obtained through its baptism is also very high, and this price cannot be compensated or offset by quantity, which means that even if Luo Ming has countless troops in his hands, it is impossible He could indeed create a mutant army that was 100% in line with his wishes by relying on the advantages of numbers, but there was a serious imbalance between the harvest and the cost, and in the end it was an end that was not worth the gain.

How to maximize the role of the suffering pool under the premise of controlling costs, and how to find the balance point between costs and benefits, has become a problem that Luo Ming must consider clearly.

Judging from Luo Ming's current experience, it seems that it is not a good choice to baptize functional arms through the suffering pool. For example, skeleton archers, low-level skeleton archers are obviously representatives of functional arms. It’s just a long-range attack. As long as the attack power is high enough, even if the other attributes are zero, it’s not a big deal. It’s not wise to let such a unit accept the baptism of the suffering pool, because the different skeleton archers can’t guarantee that the increased attack power after mutation Attributes, if other attributes are added, the effect is actually the same as no increase.

Continuing to think along this line of thought, you don’t pay much attention to defense and life, but long-range units that are extremely concerned about single attributes such as attack power or magic are not suitable for entering the Misery Pool. On the other hand, some melee units, such as the Bone Knight, are particularly suitable for the Misery Pool , because among the six attributes of attack power, defense power, life value, magic, movement speed, and the magic defense that can only be possessed by the devil level, probably only the magic is not needed by the bone knight. Which one of the other attributes is increased will increase the strength of the Bone Knight.

After two consecutive baptisms of suffering, Luo Ming also had some experience in this, and began to summarize these experiences for future plans, but this time, although he had seen that skeleton archers were not very suitable for entering the pool of suffering, But at this time, most of the bows and arrows had entered the pool, so he didn't intend to stop.

For the next time, Luo Ming stayed by the Misery Pool, and as time went by, more and more mutant skeleton warriors and mutant skeleton archers stood beside him. In time, all the skeleton warriors and skeleton archers mobilized by Luo Ming were fully baptized.

After this baptism, the total number of Luo Ming's troops suddenly decreased by more than ten teams of regular troops, and the main force was still headed by skeleton warriors. An ace with a team composed entirely of mutant soldiers!
This time, Luo Ming let ten teams of ordinary skeleton warriors and five teams of skeleton archers enter the pool of misery, and after some baptism, two-thirds of them all failed, and only one-third of the soldiers successfully completed Baptism, counting the number, the mutant skeleton warriors just surpassed the three squads by a little more; and the five squads of ordinary skeleton archers also had two squads successfully transmuted after a baptism, the sum of the two is five squads, In addition to the two squads in Luo Ming's hands before, he now has a total of seven squads of mutant soldiers, and he has completely owned a well-organized, large-scale, and extremely powerful ace troop!

Not only that, after this baptism Luo Ming got 8 special soldiers in addition to five squads of mutant soldiers!
The so-called special soldiers are the mutant soldiers among the mutant soldiers, or to be more precise, these special soldiers no longer belong to the category of soldiers to a certain extent, they are real elites, and their attributes have completely surpassed ordinary soldiers and soldiers. Mutated soldiers, even reaching the level of soul enslavement and soul servant!

The last time Luo Ming used the Misery Pool to baptize the soldiers, he got a total of 6 special soldiers. These soldiers have their own characteristics, and all their attributes have reached the standard of the soul servant Leonard!However, the battle with Oso caused more than half of the original 6 special soldiers to be lost, so far only 3 are left. These 3 special soldiers are the most powerful fighters in his army except for Luo Ming himself, Jill, and the courtesan individual.

And this time Luo Ming sent more soldiers into the Misery Pool than last time, so even though the chance of special soldiers appearing was only 8%, he still got 8; There are more long-range soldiers like skeleton archers, so out of the 3 special soldiers, [-] are special skeleton archers!
Among the 8 special soldiers, 5 are special skeleton warriors, including two iron bone warriors and two scorpion bone beasts, and the remaining one is a new species that has never appeared before.

The brand-new special skeleton warrior looks very... petite, yes, it is the smallest of all the skeleton warrior series that Luo Ming has seen, it is only about 1.5 meters tall, and the bones all over the body are still a kind of milky yellow. It doesn't look very strong, but since it is a special skeleton warrior, no matter how ordinary or strange its appearance is, it doesn't mean anything. Whether it is strong or weak depends on its attributes.

This petite skeleton is called Gale Warrior. It has 20 points of attack power, 10 points of defense power, 0 points of magic defense power, 0 points of magic, and 100 points of health. Its attributes are comparable to ordinary skeleton soldiers or mutant skeleton soldiers. The ratio has been strengthened, but not much, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this Gale Warrior has a full 50 points of movement speed!

50 points of movement speed!This is the fastest speed I have ever seen except Jill!Ordinary skeleton warriors only have a movement speed of 20 points, and skeleton warriors and other special skeleton warriors that have mutated movement speed attributes will not exceed 30 points. However, this seems to be taller than the sheep-headed magician. The skeleton has a movement speed that far exceeds that of other bone warriors. Its 50-point movement speed attribute is even comparable to the bone horse that the bone knight sits on!

Seeing this attribute of Galewind Skull, Luo Ming immediately realized the specialty of this soldier, that is investigation, no, it is not investigation, but a messenger soldier!

The attribute of movement speed is the weirdest among all the attributes. It is too low, it moves too slowly, especially for soldiers; but it is useless if it is slightly higher, because although 20 points of movement speed and 30 points of movement speed have obvious differences Different, but there is really no change in its usefulness. Only when the movement speed reaches a super high level can the value of this attribute be reflected.

And Gale Skeleton has obviously strengthened in this respect!

Such soldiers can play a big role as long as they are used properly. For example, they can be used for reconnaissance. If there is a Gale Skeleton as a scout during the march, its petite stature and super high speed are even more obvious than a large target. The Bone Knight is more capable of opening the way for investigation; in addition, the Wind Skull can also be used as a messenger, because communication in hell is extremely inconvenient. You may use silk souls to contact other demons in the territory, but outside the territory. There was no other way. For example, if Luo Ming wanted to contact Ming Yun or Poison Rose while marching and fighting, he had to send someone to deliver a message, and Galewind Skull could obviously complete this mission.

So it is quite good for Luo Ming to get such a Gale Skeleton, and he doesn't need many such soldiers, just one or two is enough.

In addition to these special skeleton fighters, Luo Ming also got three special skeleton archers this time.

These special skeleton archers, like the special skeleton warriors, have changed completely from the beginning to the end. Among them, there are two special skeleton archers of the same type, and the changes are also very huge. Completely turned one of his palms into a huge bone bow directly connected to his arm!Moreover, this bone bow completely transformed from bones is not an ordinary bow, the outer side of the bow body has been polished into a sharp blade!

The name of this special skeleton archer is Blade Archer. The biggest feature is not how high its attributes are, but that it has both close and long-range attack methods with its colleagues!
As far as the soldiers that Luo Ming can produce now, no matter what level of soldiers they are, they all have the same characteristic, that is, their attack methods are very simple. Long-range attack ability, and the skeleton archer is just the opposite of them. The skeleton archer can only attack from a distance, and the melee ability is also zero; Melee combat, but it belongs to the mage, its long-range attack ability benefits from magic, and it is still a melee without any long-range attack power.

But the blade archer is different. Not only can it open a bow and shoot arrows to attack the enemy from a long distance like the ordinary skeleton archer, but it can also use the sharp bone bow to directly fight people in melee, and its melee attack power is not bad. Well, it has a full attack power of 30 points!
In addition to the two blade archers, the other one of the three special skeleton archers looks a little ordinary. The change of this special skeleton archer is not even as big as that of the mutant archer. It looks like there is no change. .

However, its properties are not like this!

In terms of attributes, the enhancement of the Speedy Archer can only be regarded as average. Its most important attack power attribute is not even as high as that of the Blade Archer, and it is even less capable of melee combat, but the Speedy Skeleton is more powerful than the previous Blade Archer. Gained a special skill, that is continuous shooting!It can make the fast archer shoot two arrows in a row with each attack!
The power of this skill can be imagined, the basic attack power of the speedy archer is 40 points, plus the weapon bonus is 50 points, the attack power of 50 points is actually not high, but if two consecutive attacks It's different, 50 points of damage per arrow, two consecutive arrows is 100 points!This kind of damage is already quite good!
Blade Archers and Speed ​​Archers have their own characteristics, and their attributes and abilities also make Luo Ming feel at ease. Not bad, although mutant skeleton archers are strong and weak because of their attributes that increase immediately, but special skeleton archers The strength of his hand is still very strong, so Luo Ming can rest assured, at least his investment this time was not in vain.

After that, Luo Ming mixed all his mutated soldiers and special soldiers together, forming an ace troop consisting of five teams of mutated skeleton warriors and two teams of mutated skeleton archers. The army will undoubtedly be Luo Ming's trump card in the ensuing war.

Because after he became the devil, the so-called superiority of the high-level arms no longer existed, unless Luo Ming would spend a lot of money to buy from Mary a level higher than himself, but this was basically impossible. It's not that Luo Ming doesn't want to, and it's not that Mary doesn't want to sell it, but that he can't afford it!
When he was at the level of a big demon, the battles that Luo Ming experienced were, no, the battles were small-scale battles, usually involving a few hundred people. It’s nothing more than a human scene, sending a high-level unit composed of several small teams in this level of battle is enough to call it a trump card; but Luo Ming is now the devil, and the enemies he faces are no longer It's a big devil who can only make small troubles, but a devil who already has a certain amount of war power!

If Luo Ming's predictions are correct, all the battles he encounters in the future, no matter how big or small, will require at least a thousand people, or even tens of thousands of people; It is difficult, not because the demon bosses are not afraid of demon lord-level units, but because once the scale of the war reaches the level of thousands of people or even tens of thousands of people participate in the battle, then a force composed of only a few squads, no matter how good it is, will be difficult. It will be difficult for him to be called the trump card, so if Luo Ming wants to copy what he did in the time of the big devil, he must spend a lot of money to form a larger troop of high-level arms than before, so that he can play his best against enemies at the level of the devil. The role that the trump card should play.

But it is too difficult to achieve this. Just imagine, the cost of a devil-level bone knight has reached 20 gray souls per ride, and the sheep-headed mage is as high as 30 gray souls. As for the special arms heavy armor The cost of a skeleton is one blue soul, and the demon-level troops are already so expensive. Wouldn't the demon-lord-level troops cost nearly a hundred souls?And don't forget, Luo Ming's purchase of high-level units will cost double the cost!
Hundreds of souls to buy a soldier, and hundreds of thousands of them to be useful, this kind of expense Luo Ming really can't afford!
Under such circumstances, Luo Ming could only settle for the next best thing. He gave up the idea of ​​continuing to use high-level units to build an ace unit, and instead used the suffering pool to create an ace unit. The attribute strength of this unit may not be comparable to that of a demon lord. It is on par with other types of soldiers, but it is still enough to call it a trump card, because the pool of suffering is not available to other demons, which means that other demons cannot create mutant soldiers like Luo Ming, so on the premise that neither of them can afford high-level arms Now, Luo Ming, who has mutated soldiers, still has a huge advantage!
Luo Ming's idea has only just started. Although the mutant soldiers of the seven squads are larger than before, the number is still too small. Judging from Luo Ming's experience, this army can only be regarded as his own on a large-scale battlefield. But Luo Ming is not in a hurry, because he has the Misery Pool by his side, and as long as he has extra troops, he can let them enter the Misery Pool for baptism. In this way, even if the Misery Pool succeeds No matter how low the rate is, Luo Ming can form an army of mutants to a very small extent!
So this kind of thing can't be rushed, and it has to be accumulated slowly. When it accumulates to a certain level, it will become Luo Ming's background, and then become the real strength that can be estimated by prying eyes.

And after getting all the mutated troops back to his barracks, Luo Ming temporarily finished what he was doing. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized that he was really idle! ?

After making the last batch of troops, Luo Ming had spent all the souls in his hands, and there were only a few hundred left. These souls were obviously useless for him now, not only that, but he Even the soul of upgrading buildings is gone!

Of course, Luo Ming is not worried about this, because in the near future, the slavery contract will allow him to get an income of at least several thousand, and then Luo Ming will have a soul to use again, but in the process Luo Ming Ming suddenly fell into a situation with nothing to do.

Without the soul in hand, Luo Ming can no longer create troops, nor can he upgrade buildings. Now it is the period of inscriptions, and he dare not go out to fight casually, so he can't do anything.

"Forget it..." After thinking about it carefully, Luo Ming gave a wry smile. Recently, he was always busy with various things, either going out to fight, or developing the territory. In short, he never stopped for a moment, so Now suddenly he finds that there is nothing to do at hand, and he is really not used to it, so he shook his head and said to Jill and the courtesan:
"Take a day off and go on a mission tomorrow. The courtesan will follow me. Jill, you stay in the territory."
