Chapter 24 The Speed Cloak
Mounts that increase attributes?
Attack +2, Defense +2.
With the addition of the Dragon Eye Ring's attack and defense bonus of +1 and the Dwarf King's Shield's defense bonus of +2, his troops now enjoy a bonus of +3 attack and +5 defense.
This is equivalent to a first-class soldier being used as a second-class soldier.
That's ridiculously strong!
This is equivalent to his skeleton soldiers' attributes more than doubling. A battle that originally required five skeleton soldiers to win can now be won with just two.
Moreover, the skeletal warhorse has a hidden advantage: it doesn't need to be fed, doesn't need rest, and doesn't get tired. This is a godsend for Lin Mo, who needs to move frequently.
Lin Mo rode it and got a feel for it.
The skeletal warhorse galloped away at a speed no slower than a car.
This means that the activity radius will be much larger than before.
As for cars, they'll be stuck when the gas station's gasoline reserves are all drained by the survivors.
After riding around once, Lin Mo dismounted.
He has more important things to do.
In the government office in the cemetery, Lin Mo was looking through the resources at his disposal.
3500 gold coins, 800 wood, 600 stone, 200 sulfur, 200 crystal, 200 mercury, 200 gems.
"not bad!"
Lin Mo took a deep breath; the reward he received for being the first to be promoted to territory hero had made him financially well-off again.
At least there's no need to spend time accumulating resources anymore; we can start building our initial 'territory' right now.
Just then, Lin Mo glanced at a corner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Treasure chest?
Lin Mo was completely stunned.
He walked over and looked the treasure chest up and down.
That's right, it looks just like a treasure chest in the game world, but why would there be a treasure chest here?
"Could it be...?"
Lin Mo thought of a possibility and reached out to touch it.
The next second, a notification appeared.
This is the first territory built globally, rewarding you with a Level 4 Strategic Chest.
Do you want to open it now?
Good guy!
Lin Mo understood; this was a reward system.
In his previous life, he knew about various rankings, which could be viewed in the 'Tavern' building. For example, there were rankings for the strongest 'Heroes', the strongest treasures, the strongest creatures, the strongest 'Lords', and various first-kill rankings for different bosses...
Those who make it onto the leaderboard will receive corresponding rewards based on their ranking.
However, in his previous life he had only heard of it and never experienced it, because he had never been on such a list.
"The reward mechanism is the same as that for the first hero to be promoted to a territory, except that the first person to build a territory will be rewarded with a level 4 strategic treasure chest."
Lin Mo suppressed his excitement.
He knew that there were many types of treasure chests, including ordinary treasure chests and strategic treasure chests, and each type was divided into seven levels.
The higher the level, the greater the chance of getting good items.
In his past life, Lin Mo never obtained a treasure chest of this caliber before he died, but he never expected to actually see one this time.
"Open the treasure chest!"
Lin Mo took a deep breath and gave the order.
The treasure chest was opened, releasing streams of golden energy.
[You've discovered a treasure: the Speed Cloak!]
There seems to be a magical element on this cloak; listen, it's the wind...
"It's out!"
Lin Mo took a few deep breaths, otherwise he was afraid he would faint.
I actually got the Tier 3 strategic treasure, "Speed Cloak".
This thing is a godsend for short-legged, low-mobility skeletons.
Imagine this: after spotting the enemy, a large group of skeleton soldiers suddenly starts running at speed comparable to a sprint champion, and immediately strikes with a sword...
There's no escaping it, no hiding from it!
perfect!
It's practically the perfect strategic asset for my skeleton soldiers at this stage.
Lin Mo couldn't help but hum a little tune.
It was also because there was no one around; everyone else was outside the Ministry of the Interior.
Because this is his own territory, no one else can enter any of the buildings here without his authorization as the lord.
"Looks like I need to try my best to be the 'first' in the future. First construction, first kill, first clear... these are all real rewards." Lin Mo was eager to try at this moment.
"Wait a minute, what if I'm the first to build a building within the territory? Will there be a reward?" Lin Mo knew that his idea was a little far-fetched.
But there's no harm in giving it a try, since he had originally planned to build it anyway.
The first thing to build is the "Cursed Temple".
This is my second cursed temple building. The price quoted in the government office is 1500 gold, 100 wood, and 200 stone.
Needless to say, let's build it!
Construction of the Cursed Temple has begun and is expected to take 5 hours.
The construction time was somewhat unfortunate, but there was nothing that could be done; it's the same for everyone.
Lin Mo still had resources, so he reopened the construction list for the Internal Affairs Hall.
"What should we build next?"
The remaining resources are probably only enough to build one thing.
"Is it a blacksmith shop, a skeleton conversion site, or an unfilled tomb...?" Lin Mo quickly considered.
Because each territory has only one construction queue, even if you choose now, you have to wait until the previous cursed temple is completed before you can build the second selected building.
Therefore, whichever one you build first will give you the corresponding effect.
Finally, after careful consideration, Lin Mo made his choice.
"Build a level one magic tower!"
This building requires 2000 gold coins, 300 wood, and 200 stone.
This almost completely drained the resources at hand.
But for Lin Mo, the Level 1 Magic Tower is very important.
Although the five level-one spells that appear in the level-one magic tower are random, and studying them requires resources, you can buy 'spellbooks' inside.
This thing is very important.
This importance is reflected in the fact that the original prefix of the Heroes of Might and Magic game world was "Might and Magic".
The essence of Magic Gate is magic.
For heroes, the importance of magic is undeniable; in crucial moments, magic can be relied upon to turn the tide.
That's why Lin Mo chose to build a level one magic tower.
As for resources, he doesn't care.
Resources are meant to be spent; only when they are spent can they be transformed into combat power.
Although I don't feel bad about the loss, I do want more. In this post-apocalyptic world that has been integrated with the game world, resources are definitely always better the more you have.
Now, Lin Mo is feeling a bit strapped for cash and urgently needs more resources.
Resources won't come to you by themselves; you have to go out and find them.
Now that he has a mount, his mobility has greatly improved, allowing him to explore farther places.
So after careful consideration, he formulated a plan.
"Hammer," Lin Mo said.
Hammer walked in through the door.
"We'll split into two groups. You and Jenova will take the cavemen and search the area within a one-kilometer radius. See if there are any missed treasure chests, resource points, or other troop buildings. Capture them if you can, and if you can't, mark them and come back to report."
Hammer, somewhat eager to try, nodded: "Okay, leave it to me!"
"Bring all the cavemen, and borrow a few imps from Daniel. Genova will handle the stacking and splitting of units, but I suggest you stack all the cavemen together and let the imps tank the damage." Lin Mo paused, then added, "If you encounter an enemy, fight if you can win, run if you can't. Don't fight head-on."
